CONVICT BRUTALLY
MURDERS WOMAN
NEGRO FIEND is FOUND DEAD DE.
SIDE BODY OF HIS VICTIM
ON LOUISIANA FARM
Ecape of Negro and How Woman Was
Lured To Spot Remains
Mystery.

Baton Rouge, La, Nov. 11.-With the
body of her negro slayer lying dead
beside her, Mrs. Alice Ehlert, wife OF
a resident physician at Angola Farm
was found early today brutally muir
dered. The negro, Harry Harriet, a
convict on the farm, had choked the
white woman to death and then killed
himself. The killing occurred, author
tiles believe, sometime during the
night. just how Mrs. Ehlert was lur-
e dto the place of her death has not
yet been determined.
The negro convict is thought to
have made his escape from his cell
early in the evening at the time the
convicts are checked in from their
work and locked up for the night
After evading the guards, it is be-
lieved that black lay in hiding, plan
ming for the crime. Late during the
night, it is believed that he sent de-
coy message to the house of the resi-
dent physician. DR. Ehlert was absent
at he time and it is believed that the
negro was cognizant of this.
The woman must have responded to
the call. No cries were heard, though
it is probable that he convict leaped
upon his victim from behind and chok-
ed her speechless. Marks of a
struggle were found about the spot
where the two bodies lay.

"We don't agree with your honor,
said Attorney Rowell.
Il know you DON'T returned the
judge, tartly, but my word is bigger
in this court than yours
The state used only five witnesses
principally to show there was dis
crepancy in the books Of various inn
provement districts, whose money
Russell is accused of approprtating
Judge Grace would not admit evidence
to show that Russell had paid back
any of the shortage, holding that II
was not question Of whether or not
he had made good his shortage, but
whether he had Incorporated mon

ing tried, of the twelve indictments
pending against him.
Tom Gadberry, manager for the
Harrison Produce Company and Rus
sell Hollis, local realty dealer, who
were at the conference called by Rus
sell at Y. M. C. A. early in May, 1912,
were placed on the witness stand.
Both admitted that Russell, after call
ing his most intimate friends together,
acknowledged that he was short with
improvement districts in sums aggre-
eating more than $4,000. Mr.. Cad
berry testified that Russell said he
was short $4,000 and when asked
what he had done with the money,
Russell replied that he had lost 1t in
the Watson company, local medicine
concern. The witness also said that
Russell told them that they were

city improvement districts and that
something had to be done'.'
Mr.. Hollis testified that Russell had

trict. Russell told his conferees, said
the witness, that he was ruined man

himself from disgrace. He did not
hear Russell say that he had the mon
ey to pay back his shortage, II he stat
ed it at that conference.

The committee met with the reso-
luton of Senator Shaffroth for a
regional reserve bank pending

Washington, was present. Senator's
Pomerene, Shaffroth and Hollis, VINO
for several days have been preparing
a report for the caucus and bill
amended as they believe it should be-
closeted in their private room at this

The Democratic conference will be
held tomorrow afternoon. Senator
Kern issued the call today. The
call specifically states that the con-
ference is to be merely advisory,

it was not to be imam sense a
binding caucus.
Some senators have urged that the
caucus be opened to the press, but
Chairman Kern made it plain that
this would not be permitted. Sew.
eral senators explained that an open
caucus discussion might prove en-
barassing to certain senators who
have elections on their hands. Sena-
tor Vardemans said he would strongly
oppose holding the conference be-
hind closed doors. He did not be-
lieve anything should be urged or ad-
vocated in secret that could not be
fought for out in open.

BATTLESHIPS THERE

Washington, Nov. 11-Rear Admir-
al Fletcher, commanding the Atlantic
fleet in Mexican waters, reported
today that six Americans were lock-
ed up in Tuxpam, Mexico, with the
Mexican federals and rebels fighting.
The condition of the Americans is
serious.
The Wheeling, which is lying off
Tuxpam, has taken charge of twenty
Americans who fled to the Wheeling
for safety. The commander of the
Wheeling telegrapned Admiral
Fletcher that he hoped to be able to
rescue the other six Americans.
The Louisiana twas expected to
join the Wheeling off Tuxpaln today,
With the marines on the Wheeling
and the Louisiana, it is rot feared
by the May Department that there
is danger to any of the American
citizens remaining in Tuxpam. These
two vessels can land over 1900
marines and the fighting federal and
rebel forces are not reported in SUI
ficient strength to cause trouble ~
the American rescue party.
It was reported to rhe State De-
partment by Admiral Fletcher that
the fight between the federals and
rebels had continued throughout last
night, but the Admiral tells of no
result.
The State Department believes that
the fall of the Huerta regime is i'm
mineat should there be MOI foreign
assistance to Huerta In the shape of
money to pay his army and to meet
the obligations of his government.
Secretary Bryan said today that
he had no knowledge of any move
ment on the part of any foreign
government to lend Huerta money
for the continuance of his govern
ment. At meeting of the Cabinet
today, President Wilson presented the
complex question surrounding the
Mexican situation and there was gen
eral discussion of the final attitude
of this government.
The senates suggestion of removal
of the embargo on arms that General
Carranza, leader of the Constitution
alists, should be permitted to throw
his forces we'll armed against
Huerta, was considered.
President Wilson, it is said, oppos-
ed the proposition. He is waiting
to hear the final report from John
Lind, his special representative IN
Mexico, on Huerta's last stand. After
the Cabinet meeting the President
received number of members OF
Congress, but did not talk Mexico or
the situation that now confronts this
country following Huerta's declara-
ton that he would not adbicate.
Several Americans with interests
in Mexico came to Washington today.
They said they were taking no part
in the present Mexican situation.

Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. 11.--Cleveland
has been cut off from ell communities
ton with the outside world for the
past 48 hours and at late hour to-
night, but one telephone wire was
working. The sixty-mile gale which
has swept the city has subsidized some
what, but blanket of snow, varying
in depth from four to ten feet, covers
the city and suburbs. Numerous lives
are reported to have been lost and
hundreds are threatened with a fam
inc unless the streets are cleared
within the next ew hours. The suffer-
ing in many quarters has been in
tense. The warm weather of the pas
few days caused householders to neg
lect to prepare for midwinter weather
and in the poor section the supplies
Of food and fuel have practically all
exhausted for several hours. No milk
has reached the city for twenty-four
hours.
But few trains have arrived during
the day and those brought only pas
sengers and mail. The interurban
trolly lines, over which much of the
city's food is transported, have been
paralyzed for two days and there is
little hope of traffic being resumed
until late tomorrow.
The property loss is estimated at
more than million dollars. The gas
supplyYis almost exhausted and many
Of the electric light plants have been
closed p prevent e1ectrocutions and
conflagfations from the live wires
whic hare down all over the city. The
schools have been closed and few
store were open today.
The loss of life on the Great Lakes
is feared to have been heavy. More
than 100 vessels owned by firms in
this city have not been heard from for
two days. The big freighter J. G.
GARNER has been blown ashore near
Lorraine ana ner crew OF twenty-five
men are in constant peril as the life
savers have been unable to reach the
vessel through the gale.
The freighter Wesford is believed to
have been lost as five bodies wearing
life belts of that vessel were washed
ashore near London, Ontario, today.
Shipping men here estimated to-
night that values of the cargoes and
vessels now missing total $4,000, 900,
while there are about 5000 seamen on
the vessels. The damage to shipping
and especially to small boats in Cleve-
land harbor has been heavy. Scores
of smaller crafts have been blown
ashore or far out in the lake.
