CRYING FOR HELP.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, April 4.
-Piteous cries for aid reached
Evansville today as conditions
became more desperate by the
strong winds, heavy rains and
rising waters throughout the
flooded territory. Tell City,
Rockport, Grand View, Leaven-
worth and other towns report
frightful conditions and awful
sufferings. The Ohio river here
registered 1872 feet today and
was still rising slowly.
The north side of Evansville,
along Pigeon creek, has ten feet
of water. Water was splashing
over the upper boulevard levee
and threatening the fashionable
district of the city.

FOUR MEN HANGED;
COMMITTED MURDER
Was Necessary to Shorten
Rope Three Times
Two Strangled
(National News Association)

MONTGOMERY, Ala, April 4-P.
Walter Jones and Arthur Gilmer, both
white men, and John Adams and Cole
man Jones, negroes, were hanged
from the same scaffold in the county
Jail here today. Jones, who was for
merly prominent and wealthy citi-
zen, was hanged first at 6:1S o'clock,
but it was not until 6:45 that he was
pronounced dead. He finally strang-
led to death, the rope being so long
that his feet touched the floor, his
struggles presenting a horrible spec
tacle. The rope was then shortened
and Gilmer was executed. 1t was
found, however, that the rope was
still too long, and he, too, strangled
after horrible struggle. For third
time the rope was shortened, and the
last two executions, those of the two
negroes, went off without a hitch. All
of the four victims had been convicted
of murder.

MARTIN COULDN'T
HELP IT, He SAID
Averred Broken Water Main
Was Cause of His
Downfall.

"Your Honor, the water main was
broken last night and 1 was SO thirsty
that l just had to have something to
drink" said Mike Martin, who was
arrested for public intoxication last
night, to Mayor Zimmerman In police
court this morning Martin was fined
81 and costs and sent to the county
jail.
Martin stated that it is his belief
that no one should be fined today or to-
morrow. I'm not drinking man, Your
Honor" he pleaded, ''but last night
could get nothing to quench my
thirst except intoxicating liquors. I
even tried to get Cocoa Cola but the
man at the soda fountain said that he
didn't have any sodawater. Last, night
was enough to drive a sober man to
drink"

trembling and on the verge of nervous
collapse, Joseph Morarity, alias Will
liam Leehan, arrested at Fort Lee, n.
J., charged with the murder of Mrs.

April, 1911, was lodged in the Ocean
county Jail today.
Morarity was formerly employed as
a private secretary in the home of
NJ Horn of Pittsburg and has a wife
and child living.
The arrest of Morarity was brought
about chiefly through the efforts OF a

who, to gain the suspects confidence
went to live in the same roomins
house, where Mr.. and Mrs. Morarity
lived. She got a room adjoining theirs,
where she could hear all that passed
between Morarity and his wife Turner
the husband OF the murdered woman,

SAMPLES OF WATER
WILL Be EXAMINED
Health Officer Davis Sends
Samples to State Lab
oratory.

For the purpose of relieving fears
Of many residents as to the alleged
unsanitary condition of the water sup
ply, DR.. T. II. Davis has sent four
samples of water to the state labora-
tory at Indianapolis for analysis. The
water used as samples was taken
from various places of supply 80 that
local people will know the exact con.
dition Of the water used in the city.
The steps taken by DIR. Davis to find
the true causes of the condition of
the drinking water developed from the
agreement of the city health board
that the broken main had nothing to
do with this condition of the water
supply. 1t is generally believed by
members of the board and Health
Officer Davis that the supply Is in
fected by river water Dr. Davis stat
ed today that the ground is soaked
by the rain water and the rising water
of the flooded rivers has broken over
the galleries thus affecting the water
of the reservoir
Unless other sanitary conditions are
materially benefited. another invesd-
cation will ultimately ensue. Accord
ing to Dr. Davis this condition would
have been aided had the residents
left their faucets open thus preventing
compressed air forming in the pipes.

CAIRO, ILL.,, April Rain,
which continued throughout the
night and early today placed
Cairo in the most dangerous po-
sition since the Ohio and Missis-
sippi floods began. The wa
ters passed the top of the leeee
and were being kept out only by
the bags of sand piled on the
walls. Military authorities ad-
mitted that the outlook was de-
cidedly gloomy. A new danger
developed today. The waters of
the Ohio river have worked their
way under the depressions occu-
pied by the business and residen-
tial districts and are coming up
in what are called "sand boils."
AS quickly as "sand boil" ap-
,peared, heavy loads of dirt were
dumped into the cavities. Only
the hastily constructed bulk
heads on top of the levee today
kept out the flood waters. These
bulkheads are of lumber braced
with railroad ties, sandbags and
cement. Fifty flatboats have
been distributed about the city
where they can be readily reach
ed by the residents if the water
breaks the protecting walls.

LONDON, April 4.-Suburban rail-
way station at Oxsted, in Surrey, was
blown up and partly destroyed by suf-
fragettes today. The walls were crack
ed, the windows smashed and the
doors blown away. The police found a
time clock and a can of petrol in the
wreckage. The theory OF the investiga-
tors is that the explosion was caused
by a heavy trial Of gunpowder and that
the women evidently had planned to
burn the station but the petrol failed
to ignite. The flame of feminist vio-
lence was famed into a roaring con-
flagration by the three year sentence
imposed upon Mrs. Emmaline Pank-
hurst, who began to serve her term
at hard labor today.
Olive Hocken, an artist and friend
of Mrs. Pankhurst, in whose studio a
suffragette arsenal was found, was ar
raigned today in Old Bailey court on
a charge Of conspiring to destroy gov
ernment property.
81 will never submit to this or any
other government that holds women in
bondage" exclaimed Miss Hocken.
'1 want to serve notice upon the Brit
ish people that We are just beginning
to fight"
A great crowd of members of the
Women's Social and Political Union
gathered At Old Baiiey for the trial.
The police in the suburbs today ar
rested two suffragettes named Phyllis
Brady and Millicent Dean carrying
portmanteaus, which, upon being open
ed were found to contain candles, pet
roleum and other substances usually
employed by those contemplating ar
son, also a number of placards con-
tanning the inscription, Beware how
you treat Mrs. Pankhurst" were found
A telegram from Stockport stated that
a train of empty cars was blown up
there, evidently by women. The engi-
neer was severely injured. At Man
chester three suffragettes were arrest
ed for smashing art works in the Man
chester art gallery.

NEW CASTLE, Ind. April 4.-Coun-
Gilman ]. D. Smith returned from Indi-
annapolis yesterday afternoon where
he was sent by Mayor Barnard to
hold a consultation with detectives
who are working on the abduction
case of Catherine Winters, the nine
year-old daughter of Dr. w. A. Winters
The fact that Mr.. Smith refused to
state the nature of his talk with the
officials was indicates that the detec-
tives have some definite clew on
(which they are working and in all
probability the child will be located
within the next week. The gypsy
theory has been given up an dthe
authorities of New Castle believe if
she was not kidnapped she was muir
dered by a degenerate.
A new clew was gathered by detec-
tive Webster who reported that Ivan
c. Whistler. of Plattsville, Wis, broth
er-in-law of DR.. Winters by his first
wife, and the physician were not on
friendly terms. 1t is possible that he
may have abducted the child. The
child and her brother are heirs to an
estate of $4,000. It would have been
impractical for any one to abduct her
for this reason as the money would
have gone to her brother in case she
diced.
Harry c. Webster is working on the
case and expects to solve it. He is
one of the best know2 detectives in
Indianapolis. He returned from In
dianapolis yesterday where he went
in an effort to locate relatives of the
child who are believed to have some
knowledge of her whereabouts. II
was authoratively stated that the
child had not been located as yet
though her father expects to be ap-
prised Of the whereabouts of his child
at any time.
Chief of Police I A. Gormon of
Richmond is of the opinion that the
relatives know where she is. Accord
ing to information given Gormon the
child and her grandmother were great
friends and after her grandmother
and her father had a quarrel the
grandmother left the home and has
been living apart from the family.
Her mother is dead and as a result of
the intimacy and love between Mrs.
Whistler, the grandmother, Chief Cor
mon believes she may know the
whereabouts of the missing girl.
DR.. Winters resumed his dental
practice yesterday. He still believes
the gypsies have abducted the child.

GREAT EXCITEMENT
Excitable French Attempted

But Was Prevented.

LUNEVILLE, France, April 4.-Up-
ON orders of the minister of war the
German Zeppelin balloon, which land
ed here yesterday, was released today
and the members of her crew also
were liberated. Captain George Fritz,
commander of the balloon set the
men at work repairing the motor and
said he would be more careful during
flights in the future to avoid crossing
the French frontier. Incendiaries
tried to burn the balloon during the
night, evidently thinking that the oc-
cupants were German spies.
LUNEVILLE, France, April 4.-The
German military dirigible airship
Zeppelin ", made a landing in the
military parade grounds here yester-
day and was seized by the French au-
thorities.
The incident caused tremendous ex-
citement notwithstanding the fact
that the German officers aboard the
airship explained that they had been
lost in the clouds and did not know
they had crossed the French frontier
The inhabitants of the eastern from
tier regions of France have been
much agitated the last few weeks
over reports that German dirigibles
had been observed or heard nightly
lowering over the forts. But the
stories, like those of the Phantom air
ship Of England, never were properly
substantiated by the people of Lune-
Vile, who therefore were considerably
startled shortly before noon yester-
day when a brownish yellow airship
appeared at a great height in the
clouds coming from the direction of
Nancy. The airship was lost to view.
but reappeared an hour later. 1t was
apparent that the pilot was having
battle with the wind and that he was
making an effort to reach the earth.
Finally a safe landing was made in
the parade grounds where two squad
rons of cavalry were drilling. The
cavalrymen rode up and formed
Gordon. They caught the ropes thrown
from the dirigible and securely moor
ed it.
Local authorities and Brigadier Cen
eral Antide Leon Lescot were immed-
lately summoned and were closely fol-
lowed by a huge crowd of excited
people It required the efforts of two
companies of infantry to keep the in
dignant populace at safe distance.
Zeppelin " which is of the latest
and largest model carried ten passen-
gers of whom were officers in uni
form. A Prussian captain and lieu
tenant and two Wurttemburger lieu
tenants. The captain explained to
General Lescot, through an interpre-
ter that the Zeppelin was undergoing
a test prior to being taken over by
the war department. He and the 9TH
er officers had been assigned to that
task.
