WAS FORCED TO CONTRIBUTE BEFORE HE COULD GET HIS
 BILL ALLOWED.

New York, Dec. 1.-Madison R. Aldrich. a Poughkeepsie contractor, testified at District Attorney Whit mans John Doe inquiry today that he had been forced to give up $1 500 as condition to getting his pay from the state highway department for a road which he completed during the state highway department for road which he completed during the ad- ministration of Highway Commissions CT c, Gordon Reel.
 He paid the money in cash in New York City March 31. 1912, he said, to Thomas Hassett, secretary to John A. Benzel. then state engineer. Has settsa whom the district attorney is anxious to question. has disappeared Mir Whitman has information that he sailed for San Domingo at about the same time that James K Mcclure. former mayor of Syracuse, now under indictment, also sailed south.
 Aldrich said he had given the money of Hassett's representation that Charles R. Foley, deputy highway commissioner. demanded it. A bal ance of $17,000 on his contract had at that time, he said, been held up nearly four months.
 The contract was for road cost ing $105,000-
 On March Y, 1912. he received a telephone call from John E. Consau- lus. an. Albany contractor who today subsequently testified that he was a collector of democratic campaign con tributions from other contractors. On Consaulus' invitation he went to Al bany and there saw Hassett in the office of the state engineer,
 Why did you pay Hassett in cash?" asked MT Whitman.
 q thought that was the best way to transact that sort of business, re- piled Aldrich.
 "The business of bribing public of ficials?'
 'Well, if you want to put it that way, yes" was the reply.
 Aldrch said that in 1911 he made a $500 contribution to the democratic party through Consaulus, which was never reported.
 Consaulus admitted that he had made collections from contractors ard forwarded them to the democratic state committees He furnished the district attorney further evidence as to the activities of Everett F. Fowler, the alleged Tammany "bagman' now awaiting trial for extoTtion He sald he had introduced Fowler to state contractors that Fowler had shown him list of such contractors and told him that he intended to get contrl- buttons from them.

JUDGE STOPS STATES ATTOR. NEY FROM MAKING HIS AT
 TACK IN GENERAL TERMS.
DR, CRAIG IS lJNMOvED
The Prosecutor Pictured Him as the Perpetrator of the Foulest Crime Ever Committed in the City of In. disnapolis.

Shelbyvide, Ind, Dec. 1--The ac- cusaiton that Dr. William B. Craig had engaged in system of wrong. ing women" brought forth charge of unprofessional conduct against Ephraim Inman of counsel for the state, late today at the trial of Craig. charged with the murder of Dr Helene Knabe
 Henry N. Spaan, leading counsel for Craig, protested to the court that Mir lnman had exceeded the bounds of propriety in making the opening statement for the prosecution before the jury.
 The jury was excluded while MT Inman explained to Judge Blair that
 1t was necessary to show Craig's al
 legged relations with women in order to establish a motive for the murder of Dr. Knabe The court ruled that counsel should confine himself to the facts the state expected to prove by it's witnesses and should not indulge in general denunciation of the de. fendant
 Thus restrained. when the jury was recalled MT. Inman declared that tho prosecution would show that two wit. nesses of vital importance to the states case had been placed beyond the courts jurisdiction through the | influence of the defendant 
 MT. Inman spoke for three hours and when he had concluded, court ad- journed until tomorrow morning at o'clock, when MT Spaan expects to address the jury with an opening statement for the defense
 "The state will oe able to bring no eye witnesses to this crime" said Mir. Inman, in beginning his statement to the jury. But we expect to bring before you train of circumstances all pointing not only in the direction of murder. but in the direction of Dr William B. Graz as the guilty man.
 Dr, Craig sat unmoved gazing at his accuser with unfaltering eyes, while the prosecutor pictured him 10 his judges as the perpetrator of the 'foulest crime ever committed in the city of Indianapolis.
 Equally unperturbed was Dr Craigs IA year old daughter, Marian, who sat at his side.
 Mir. Inman told the jury how Dr. Knabe had become acquainted with Dr. Craig who was lecturer at het state veterinary college. how that ac- quaintance resulted in friendship which those who knew them expected to result in marriage There will be no direct proof of an engagement be- tween DT. Craig and Dr. Knabe hut circumstances will be overwhelming in that direction" he said.
 A few days before the woman's death" MT Inman said. there were signs of break between the two" but he secuted the idea that Dr Knabe had committed suicide Per sons who had heard somebody scream ing in Dr. Klabes apartments shortly before l o'clock on the fateful night would be introduced to dispsove the suicide story, Mir. Inman said.

Juarez. Mexico, Dec. 1-Rather than endure starvation, the federal troops have evacuated Chihuahua City. according to advices received tonight by General Francisco Villa, the rebel leader
 The evacuation leaves the city open to possession by the rebels. The town was besieged by rebels weeks ago
 The report received by Villa states that Salvador Mercado. military gov ernor of the state. with 2,000 fed eral troops. had left on foot for Oji. naga. on the United States borner near Maria, Texas that Generals lone Ynez Salazar and Pascual Oroz- co, with more than 1000 federals. had retreated to the mountains west of the city and that hundreds of civil ians, including women and children, are on the verge of starvation. had started out to walk to the United States border
 Chihuahua with a normal popula- tion of 35,000 is the second city in Northern Mexico Neither in the Ma- dero revolution nor in the present uprising has Chihuahua been taken from the federals. It's garrison and the commanding positions for sharr shooters and machine guns. afforded by the cathedral and public buildings, heretofore had presented a formidable reached the city and the federals resisted, it is believed a fight in the city would result in great loss of life and property
 be such that life there was no longer endurable.
 GeaeTal Villa telegraphed details of the evacuation to General Carran- ga at Hermosillo, stating the pro posed advance of the rebels south. ward to Mexico City now would be expedited.
 The possession of Chihuahua City, he said, would make rebel territory of the country straight through to Zacatecas and operations would be- gin about that city and at Aguas Cali entes.
 General Villa said Fre6eTico Move, a prominent merchant, had been named civil governor of Chihuahua state, his selection being based on the belief that he would be acceptable to the rebels
 The report of tine equalization of Chihuahua is authentic said Villa, Tt came to me in an official dispatch whcih said the city was evacuated on Sunday. A rebel courier at once set out and rode 130 miles northward, where he met the rebel advance guard This was a point called Villa Ahumada, where we have established a telegraph communication l have transmitted the details to Genleral Carranza, the head of the revolution.
 '1t is my purpose now to send a force to intercept Mercado who is fleeing to Ojinaga and also to cap ture Orozco and Salazar. Our main body probably will concentrate at Chihuahua preparatory to the ad- vance southward. We will be near ing Mexico City within a month.

ENTHUSIASM OVER REPORTS ON WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN
 ACCOMPLISHED.
VICTORIES ARE CELEBRATED
Street Meetings Are to Be Held In Washington Every Day Durnq the Convention Government Owner. ship of Railroads Advocated

Washington, Dec. Enthusiasm over reports on what already has been accomplished by the woman suffrage movement and even greater enthusi- asm over proofs of what the future Will bring forth, marked the formal opening sessions here today of the forty-fifth annual convention of the National American Woman Suffrage Association.
 In calling to order the delegates from all over the country Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, president of the or. ganization, declared
 The time is past when we say please let women vote. This has been changed to We demand an amendment to the federal constitu, tion enfranchising women."
 The victories already gained she asserted, meant that women now had right to make such demand.
 The Illinois suffrage victory this year was celebrated tonight, six speak CTS from that state telling how the result had been accomplished. All the speeches were greeted with prolong. ed applause.
 The annual address of President Shaw and one by Miss Lucy Burns Of this city on "The National Amend ment," also were on the night pro. gram. Three street meetings in va rious parts of the city were held, as will be done every day during the convention
 Every delegate here will have an equal right to vote and to speak" an- nounced Dr. Shaw in opening the cor yention.
 We have absolute freedom here. The convention is yours, women Let us proceed to business"
 And the work of the week was started
 The purple and yellow flags of va. rious state suffrage societies deco rated the walls of the hall. while m the center hung great banner de handing in flaming letters of gold the amendment to the federal con- stitution enfranchising women"
 No greater ovation was given to any speaker than to Mrs. Patty R. Jacobs of Birmingham, Ala. when she declared that it was an indictment of the southern woman's intelligence" to say that she did not want the bal lot. She responded tC the address Of welcome.
 The convention admitted delegates from North Carolina and South Caro- lina although the organizations from those states had not formally been accepted into the national association. pr. Shaw said the convention would reverse the theory of present mar riage laws of the country by making it easy to come into the convention but hard to get out
 Government ownership of railroads was suggested as a result of woman suffrage, when Miss Marie " Smith of New York reported that difficulty had been found in getting reduced railroad fares for delegates. Dr. Shaw exclaimed when we vote we'll own the railroads
 Suffrage legislation has been in troduced or passed in various states this year on an unprecedented scale, according to the report of Mrs. Mary w Dennett of New York, cor responding secretary

It has been said of Hot Springs that nothing less than a political meeting would bring out large crowd There might have been some political interest in the regular monthly meeting of the city council last night, but the large audience that gathered there reflected more of an awakening of public spirit. and inter est in public affairs, than anything that has exhibited itself in Hot less of the detail, of the results. there is no doubt but that in itself, this public interest guarantees better things in the future for Hot Springs.
 There were many pyrotechnics in anticipation, and the audience was not disappointed, for there Were some sharp scenes during the session of the council, but for the most pait the disagreements were battled out with. out a fervor of prejudice. Some won and some lost but there was a council session followed intently by all audience as large as the capacity of the hall would permit, and the session tonight may be none the less interesting
 The Petit drumming ordinance, one that has been the bone of con tention in the council for months. was passed last might on the third and final reading by a vote of ' to :, but that does not mean anything signifi- cant, for Mayor McClendon author ized the statement just after the passage of the ordinance that he would veto the measure, and to pass the ordinance over the veto of the mayor will require eight votes, or two-thirds of the members-elect of the council.
 An unusual feature in connection with the passage Of this ordinance was that there was no discussion oi it. Among the petitions was read re quests for the passage of the hotel ordinance which City Clerk Housley stated were signed by 235 citizens MT Petit stated he had an additional list signed by 70 more.
