DIR. BannOn Says Escaped
Mans Guard Disappeared,
But Knows Nothing of
Bribery Attempt.
IN MATE MONEYLESS
Clever Fugitive Believes
Himself Wealthy, Says
Hospital Official-Issues
Many Fraudulent Checks.

While admitting the circumstances
surrounding the escape of Henry
Thorpe, aged 20, from his quarters at
Eastern Indiana Insane Hospital Sat
urday night were mysterious and
that the guard who was on duty that
night In the building where Thorpe
was confined had departed the follow
ing day and had not yet returned, Dr.
Freeman Bannon, assistant superin-
tendent of the institution, emphatical-
ly denied that the young man was
sane, which assertion Thorpe made
when arrested yesterday at Dayton, O.
"Thorpe's statement that he was
wrongfully incarcerated in this insti
tuition because his aunt, Mrs. Francis
Winters of Fort Wayne, wanted to
get him out of the way, is absolutely
untrue" said DR.. Bannon. There is
no questioning the fact that Thorpe is
insane. He believes he is quite
wealthy and was in the habit of issu
ing false checks. When it was deter
mined that he was not responsible for
HIS dCllO1lS, MS Idnlly, lnCluOlnS MS
mother, had him sent to this institu
tion for treatment. He was received a
few weeks ago"
Cell Panel Removed.
DR.. Bannon when asked about
Thorpe's charges that he escaped from
Easthaven by bribing a guard, said
that he only had Thorpe's word on this
matter, but admitted that considera
BILE mystery was attached to the young
mans escape. He said that panel
had been removed from the door of
Thorpe's quarters so the guard could
see within and that it might have been
possible for him to squeeze through
this opening, but he regarded the dis.
appearance of the guard who was on
duty in the building where Thorpe was
confined as peculiar. He did not re-
veal the name of the guard or whether
he would be formally charged with
aiding an inmate to escape.
Thorpe is one of the cleverest pa
tients we have ever had said DR.
Bannon, land the ordinary person
would never suspect that he was in.

Staff Remains Silent.

With French Claiming

PARIS. Sept 3O.-Unofficial reports
of triumphs for the allies continued to
come into Paris today. Following
Tuesdays report from the north that
General Won Kluck's German army was
in full retreat, General Joffre having
rejected the German commanders con-
ditions of surrender. further informa-
ton was that the French had retaken
ST. Mihiel on the Meuse river.
While the French government did
not give official affirmation to the
report that the right wing of the Ger
man army had been smashed, Paris
expects an official announcement of
"a great victory" within forty-eight
hours.
Reports Reverses.
An official announcement issued
here this afternoon stated that the
Germans had been repulsed with
heavy losses in the northeast near the
forest of Aigle This forest is in the
promontory formed by the confluence
of the rivers Aisne and Disc and ex-
tends almost to Noyon, on the west
bank OF the OlSe.
The position of the Germans on this
promontory has been understood to be
the keystone of General Won Kluck's
British forces.
While the official statement fails to
confirm he unofficial reports that dis
aster has overtaken the German right
wing. it indicates that the Germans
are making vain attacks in an effort
to check it.
Text Of Statement.
The full statement follows:
1.-On our left wing, at the north
of the Somme, the conflict continues
to develop more toward the north.
Between the Disc and the Aisne the
enemy has made a vigorous. attack on
Tracy-Le-M Mont, at the northeast of the
Aigle forest. He has been repulsed
with heavy losses.
"2.-At the center there is a lull in
the storm along the entire front. which
extends from Rheims to the Meuse.
Between the Argonne forest and the
Meuse we have made slight advance.
In the Woevre region violent fighting
has taken place. Our troops have ad-
vanced at many points, nothably to
the east of ST. Mihiel
"3.-On our right wing lorraine
and the Vosges) there is no change"
Russians Succeed.
This statement on the situation in
the eastern theatre of war was issued
at the same time:
In Ga1icia the attempted sorties of
the garrison of PrZemysl have failed.
The Austrian armies continue to re-
treat in disorder, losing many prison
ers. guns and supplies. At the Uzkos
pass, the Russians have defeated
Hungarian brigade and penetrated into
Hungary"

CRAWFORD RELATES
HISTORY OF REVOLT
FROM 7. TAGGART
Wayne County Man, Turned
Progressive, Opens Cam
paign at Gennett Theatre
Thursday Night.

Earl Crawford of Milton, who will
address the voters of Richmond and
Wayne county at the GeKnett theatre
Thursday evening, was elected joint
representative from Wayne and Fay
cite counties on the Democratic ticket
in 1912, His election in this district,
heretofore considered the political ter
ritory of the opposition, was attributed
largely to the result in Fayette county,
near the border of which Mr.. CraW-
ford resides, and where he is well
known and popular
Mr.. Crawford held aloOf from active
participation in the 1914 campaign for
a long time. He gave in explanation
his personal preference for the quiet
ude of home. He was clearly disdp-
pointed at the attitude of his party rel
ative to his legislative record and its
failure to endorse him for reelection.
However, he realized that it was the
antipathy of the state organization to
his position on several major ques-
tions before the last session that kept
him out of further Democratic favor.
Breaks on Primary.
1t was on the consideration of tn
primary election law that Mr.. Craw-
ford and his Democratic colleagues
first broke Mr.. Crawford was made
chairman of the committee on elec-
tions in the house and was entrusted
with responsibility for a better pkj-
mary provision for the entire state. He
favored truly non-partisan law, one
that safeguarded the rights of all vot-
ers alike. and one that he believed
would meet the popular demand for
further participation in governmental
affairs He proposed reporting the
bill favorably for definite action in
the house of representatives
However, when the men higher up
in the state machine realized the ma
ture of the law he favored and what
significance such legislation might
have. they promptly stifled the Wayne
Fayette county man, and his primary
election measure became an impossi-
bility.
Thereupon Mr.. Crawford became an
insurgent. The party caucus no long.
Or bound and gagged him. He spoke
~tight out in meeting" every time the
speaker Of the house, Homer l.. Cook,
now Democratic nominee for secretary

Form Committee to Conduct
Public Hearing and Draft
Equitable Schedule for All
Consumers.

Manufacturers Ask Utilities
Body to Delay Action on
City Appeal for Their Re-
port.

More than thirty of the largest users
Of electric power current in this city
held meeting last evening at the
Home Telephone company building
and decided to conduct thorough in
quiry into the local power rate ques
tion with the end in view of prepar
ing a schedule of rates for the two
local plants which would be fair to al
classes of consumers, large and small
1t was decided at this meeting, over
which John M. Lontz, president OF
the f & N. Lawnmower company, pre-
sided as chairman, to make arrange
ments for the appointment of com
mittee to make an investigation of this
matter and to arrange for a public
meeting where this committee could
give hearing to all power consumers
in the city.
Last winter the Indiana public serv
ice commission granted the petition o1
the city for a reduction in power rates
for both local plants, but this reduc
tion was objected to by many con
sumers on the grounds that in some
cases the new rates were not suffi
ciently low; that as whole the new
rates were not equitable, and that
the minimum rate of rs cents pei
horse power per month was a grave
injustice to the small consumers.
Bond Files Protest.
In answer to the protests against
this new power schedule City Attorney
Bond several weeks ago filed with the
state commission petition for an
other power rate reduction. In this
petition the commission was asked tC
reduce the minimum rate from rs tc
90 cents.
No action has been taken on this
petition by the commission, and at the
request of local power consumers Mr.
Bond has requested the commission
not to consider this question until the
consumers committee has had an op
portunity to conduct a hearing and
secure data for a new schedule, which
will be satisfactory to all parties con
Cerned.
Mr.. Lontz said today he believed
some of the rates in the schedule the
city attorney recently petitfoned fol
were not equitable, but that he be
lieved it could be so revised as to sat
isfy all local consumers and, at the
same time, be no detriment to the
municipal plant.
A meeting to select an investigation
committee will be called in the neal
future.
