CRIMINAL LAWYERS.

indianapolis. Ind. November 2l.-Dr.
William Il. Craig. president Of the In
diana Veterinary College, will be placed
ON trial at Shelbyvillc next Friday for
the murder of DR.. Helen Knabe. who
was one of the most prominent women in
Indiana.
On the morning OF October 24, 1911. DR..
knabe was found dead in her apartment
with a deep wound in her throat. Life
apparently had been extinct for several
hours when the doctors Office girl. Miss
Katherine Mcpherson made the discovery.
The police made a number Of arrests.
but in the absence of any known motive
for the crime, all the suspects were re-
leased. The public was not satisfied with
the police theory Of suicide and the case
was presented to two Marion county
grand %jurieS, both Of which failed to take
action. In the meantime. Coroner Dur
ham had been conducting an Investigation
of his own, and he reached a decision
that DR.. Knabe had been murdered by
unknown persons"
Various rewards were offered for in
formation leading to the arrest of SLAYER
o slayers, but these failed to bring re
suits. Friends of the woman finally in
duced the Local Council Of Women Of
Indianapolis to raise IL fund with which
to conduct a further investigation of the
mysterious case. Harry G. Webster. Il
private detective employed by the Coun-
Gil, worked for nearly 4 year on the case.
and in December, 1912. he presented be
fore the grand jury information on
which the Indictment against Dr. Craig
was based. \. VI. RagSdale. an under
taker. also was indicted as an accessory
after the fact.
Craig's attorneys asked 4 change of
venue, and the case was sent to Shelby
comfy. where the trial was set t. begin
November %. The date for RagSdaIe's
trial has not been set.
After the indictments were returned.
Webster admitted that the case he had
construed was entirely circumStantial
and that he had no Witnesses to testify
that either DR.. Craig or RaeSdalc were

Criticism in Handling Receipts.

Revenue Receipts-The present syS-
tenn of handling District of Columbia re-
ceipts is subject to the same criticism
as the existing plan of submitting its
estimates of appropriations and the ap-
preparations therefor. Under present
practice considerable sums are deposited
dii ectly into the Treasury of the United
States miscellaneous receipts, the only
notice the District accounting officers get
of the same being informal memoranda
by courtesy of the Treasury officials.
All collections, of whatsoever sort. be-
longing to and forming part of the
revenues Of the District of Columbia.
should be deposited directly with the
collector of taxes of the District of Co
lumbia, which would give to the District
officials a full and absolute control of
all receipts, and knowledge of all the
facts essential to good administration and
good accounting control.
"EXpenditureS-The same condition pre-
walls with respect to the expenditure or
disbursement of District of Columbia APP
propria tons that exists with respect to
the collection of its revenues. lack of
naturalization In accounting control. In
stead of all vouchers being duly audited
and approved by the auditor of the Dis
trict of Columbia, and paid by one Of
ficer, the disbursing officer of the Dis
trict, payments are made from District
appropriate tons by some twelve different
disburSing agents other than the dis
bursting officer of the District, the total
advances to these officers during the fis-
cal year 1913 amounting to more than
So 100, 600 Inasmuch as these various
disbursing agents .eport directly to and
account to the Treasury of the United
States for expenditures made from Dis
trict funds, this office is without informa-
ton as to detailed expenditures made.
The best that can be done is that which
is done in the annual report, reporting
the amount of acquisitions advanced less
the amount of repayments of disbursing
funds on account of same.

Puzzle for Commissioners.

Even a slight consideration of the
method OF preparing and transmitting es-
Inmates of appropriations affecting the Dis
trict revenues will show how impossible it
is for the Commissioners to literally OBJ
serve this law, in that the other charges
referred to therein do not come to them.
but are submitted in bills over which they
have no control by different administra-
tive officers and at different times
! The best that can be done in the
, matter under present conditions Is
that which is done, namely. the
taking up Of the amounts OF actual APP
preparations for prior years on account of
amount that may be required for the cur
rent year.
1T would be far better if all items af-
| fecting District of Columbia appropriations
and revenues We're contained in one bill,
the regular annual District of Columbia
appropriation bill. This would cause to
be brought together in one set of esti-
mates every item requisite to the consid-
Grafton and disposal of the Districts rev.
enues, for theinformation and guidance
of Congress in providing for the District :
needs for the fiscal year under considera-
| ton. Such treatment would in no wise
/ affect the control or administration OF
public works, enterprises and duties
| placed by Congress under officers of the
| federal government, the estimates would
be submitted by them as heretofore, with
the exception that they would be for
warded to and through the Commissioners
of the District of Columbia in one esti
mate which would then contain every
/ item in any wise affecting District appro-
priations
