Is Killed While Husband
Is Away.

Kingston, n. Y, Oct. 22.-Returning
to his home this afternoon after an
absence of two hours, Edwin Van
AIKEN, of Port Even, two miles south

bedroom, her head battered in by some
blunt instrument. Mrs. Van AIKEN had
been alone in the house and no one
was seen to enter or leave it in the
husbands absence.
Marks on the woman's throat indi-
Gated that she had been choked, and
the disorder of the room showed that
she had made a struggle against her
assailant. She had been struck three
times on the head. No weapon was
found.
Mrs. Van AIKEN was fifty years old.
An autopsy will be performed to-mor-
row morning, and the Sheriff and Dis

port continues to-day accord
ing TO a dispatch in the "Tele-
graaf," of Amsterdam, telegraphcd
here. "The Germans are firing from
Mariakerke and Middelkerke, the
French from Nieuport and the English

"The French and Belgians are per-

ATTACKS BENSEL
AND SOHMER
Writes to Travis, Republi-
can Nominee for Control
Ter, He'll Support Him.
WILL SHOW UP TIGER
Graft Exposer Refuses to Follow
Wilson'S Lead in Swallowing
Glynn or Rest of Ticket.

John A. Hennessy foe of Charles T.
Murphy and Tammany Hall, is coming
out foT District Attorney Whitman for
Governor. He has been upstate since
Sunday, working for the Republican
candidate quietly. Next week the for
nal announcement will be made, and
it is probable that the man who made
such hit on the stump for the Fusion
ticket last Fall will wind up the cam
paign with a series of speeches, in
which he will reveal Tsmmany Hall in
its true colors.
This information does not come from
official sources, but is stated on the
most excellent authority. Those inter
ested in Mr.. Whitman's campaign be-
lieved that the effect would be better
10 have the announcement come the
last week Of the campaign.
However, there was an indication Of
Mr.. Hennessys general attitude in
personal letter written by him to
Eugene N. Travis, the Republican car
didate for State Controller, saying he
would do what he could for the success
of Mr. Travis. Mr.. Hennessy lambast-
ed Controller Sohmer, the Democratic
candidate for reelection, and John A.
Bensel, Democratic candidate for State
Engineer.
Up 10 Each Democrat.
Then, in this letter, which WAS made
public by Mr.. Travis last night, Mr..
Hennessy said:
"The necessity for defeating other
candidates on Mr.. Murphy's ticket so
that VIC may have housecleaning may
be as essential as in the case of Bensel
and Sohmer, but that is something for
the individual Democrat to decide.
az feel sure that few anti-Murphy
Democrats will be led into believing
that the success Of the National Demo-
cratic Party in the future is in any
way involved in the success or defeat
of the Murphy, McCooey, McCabe NOM
inees."
So strong is Mr.. Hennessy as an
snti-Tammany force that those mem
bers of the Democratic party who
sought take it from the grasp Of
Charles F. Murphy, chose him to run
in the primaries as a candidate for
tn, nomination for Governor against
Governor Glynn. In his campaign ne
had the backing Of the Wilson admin
istrati, n, which had SO much faith in
him that it permitted him to distribute
federal patronage in this state.
When Hennessy was defeated, Presi-
dent Wilson was obliged TO come out
in support of the Glynn ticket, because
of his interest in the election of a
Democratic United States Senator and
, Democratic members of Congress. Fol
lowing the President, other so-called
Wilson Democrats swallowed the Muir
ply selections. Great pressure was

AUTO HIT BY CAR
LIVES OF THREE MEMBERS OF
ONE FAMILY CRUSHED OUT
IN AUTO CRASH.
Three Others Are Probably Fatally

Western Newspaper Union News Service
indianapolis, Ind.-Three members
of one family were killed, three others
were probably fatally injured and one
seriously hurt at FIT. Benjamin Harri-
son, near here, when an Indiana Union
traction car struck an automobile.
The automobile was struck in the
middle and the occupants were hurled
in every direction. Bodies We're
strewn along the track for distance
of 40 feet. The automobile was re-
duced to splinters. Three trolley poles
were torn down as the machine was
dragged along the track. Thomas o.
Stout's body was badly mangled. Just
what caused the accident could not
be learned. Mrs. Thomas o. Stout said
that they had looked and listened be-
fore starting to cross the tracks, but
could not see any car approaching.
The crossing is regarded by auto
mobilists as a dangerous one. The
interurban line parallels railroad
tracks at that point and the roadway
is narrow. 1t is impossible to turn
off the road without running into a
