Victim on Face and Hands,
Gives Himself up to
Police.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Oct. 2o.--.'I am
sorry she was an old woman
This was the only statement today
CT Harry Dorow, convicted forger, who
has confessed to the police that he
perpetrated the murder late Sunday
OF an unidentified woman in an alley
rear Cherry street here.
The case closely parallels the Chi
oago Leeghon murder. The victim, a
fairly we'll dressed woman, OF about
forty-five, was attacked from behind.
Her head was crushed with piece of
pipe. After striking her down, the
murderer dragged her eighty feet into
an alley where, after twisting her
scarf about her throat, he beat her
face and head almost to pulp with
the bludgeon.
While thus engaged he was discov-
cred by Oscar Lange, who was return
ing to his hcme in an automobile.
Lange grappled with Dorow but the
latter escaped Two hours later,
after the police Gordon thrown out
had failed to locate the slayer, Dorow
walked into the west side police sta
tion and confessed his crime.

Havana yesterday and was expected al

The election is set for October *

A Trap for Diaz.

VERA CRUZ, Oct. 20.-General Felix
Diaz was expected to arrive here late
today or early tomorrow aboard the
steamer Corvoyado from Havana. Hi
departure from Cuba was delayed un
til II o'clock yesterday. The Mexican
gunboat Zaragoza, which Huerta or
dered to Havana to bring Diaz home
came into this port yesterday after
noon without Diaz. On board was Gen
eral Blanque, Huerta's representative
He reported the gunboat put back be
cause of bad weather but it is known
that Diaz refused to board the Zarago
"a, fearing plot.
The gun boat, he was told, was sent
to protect him from assassination
but Diaz was warned that Huerta plan
ned to have the Zaragoza break 6
crank shaft or meet with other plaus
ible accident that would keep her out
of port until after Sunday, election
day. This would make Diaz ineligible
for president, as the constitution pro
vides that president must be on Mex
ican soil when elected. 1t is said here
that General Huerta and General Blan
quet will announce their candidacy fol
president and vice president as soor
as Diaz lands.
