INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Not. 7.
(Special Telegram.) In a sen Ra
tional running revolver fight with
city detectives, Buck Weaver, whose
real name Is believed to be Art
Hauser, confessed Colorado high
wayman, was captured at Merldan
street at the Southside of Monu
ment place this afternoon.
The capture took place when the
etreets were thronged with shoppers
and children. Fully fifteen shots
were exchanged before the fleeing
desperado was placed under arrest.
Several persons narrowly escaped be
ing struck by bullets. ,
Hauser was locked up In the city
prison, charged with being a fugi
tive. Wtrhltn Pots to Claim.
He Is wanted by the Wichita, Kan.,
police for highway robbery, and also
Is wanted in Canon City,' Colo.,
where he is said to have escaped
from the state prison. He is also
suspected of being guilty of murder
in Omaha.
When examined by Captain Qulg
Uf and detectives, he made a com
plete statement. He said he would
not attempt to fight extradition.
A short lime after the arrest Mr. and
Mn. W. H. Moore. 32S6 North Pennsyl

man who held them up at Pennsylvania

took when they were waiting for the
man, the scene presented a real dime

escaped had he not run Into a messenger
boy on a bicycle. ,
.'.-i Marde of. !.- -, -
The murder of William Harry Smith,
Cashier for. the Woodman of the World,
the principal crime Hauser Is suspected
of committing In Omaha, was one of the
most sensational in criminal annals here.
Smith was klUed on Saturday night,
October 16. at Thirteenth and Dodge
streets. The murdered man was escort
ing home Miss Grace Slater. North
Thirty-fourth street, a E-year-old clerk
for the Woodmen, employed In the of
fice with Smith. Smith, according to the
girl's statement, was slain when he re
sisted being held up by a masked bandit.
The robber then forced the girl to ac
company him for nearly an hour, traver
sing several blocks.. He then released
her after having threatened to assault
her. He relented when she pleaded with
him to spare her.
Miss Slater was given her liberty after
toeing questioned by the polios. She
Identified Hauser as the murderer of
Smith by his photograph.
Smith lived at 218 Fuller avenue, Coun
cil Bluffs. He Is survived by a wife
and three children.
Descriptions Scatter Everywhere.
Hauser's picture and physical measure
ments has been scattered broadcast
about the face of the country. Every
police, chief and every sheriff, in fact,
every peace officer in the country was
aware of the hideous crimes charged up
to Arthur Hauser. and their attention
was riveted all the more solidly by the
fact that across the top of the glaring
. police circulars was the banner line:
Ten thousand dollars reward!"
The $10,000 reward attracted professional
and amateur detectives all over, and
especially In this part of the country or
near the cities where crimes accredited
to Hauser had been perpetrated.
Of course, though there is a price of
110,000 on Hauser's head. It will never
be paid, that Is. not entirely.
Omaha May Yet Get Hlsa First.
Omaha, for Instance, offers SfiO for his
arrest and return to Omaha, and con
viction. The other cities, where he Is
wanted worded their reward offers the
same way. An effort will be made
have Omaha's claim on him recognised
first, as this Is the only place yet known
where be Is accused of a murder.
There teems small likelihood that the
Indianapolis police have made a mistake

take part In the meeting. The state was
cMv.ded Into etxht districts, and a meet
ing has been held In each one. Uni

that there will be no need to register

WASHINGTON. Nov. 7. Points
made by the United 8tates In Its note
to Great Britain covering British
Interference with American trade are
sumiuarlxed In numbered paragraphs
as follows:
1. The statistics presented by
Great Britain to prove an increase
rather than a decrease in American
trade "fail to take into account (he
increased price of commodities re
sulting from a state of war or to
make any allowances for the dlmuta
tlon in the volume of trade which
the neutral countries In. Europe
previously had with the nations at
war."
Petslaed on Rnapleloa.
2. Detentions by Great Britain
have not been "uniformly based on
proofs obtained at the time of
seizure, but many vessels have been
detained while search was made for
evidence." The question has been
one of "evidence to support the be
lief of in many cases a bare sus
picion of enemy destination, or oc
casionally of enemy origin of the
goods Involved."

KITCHENER GOES
TO EAjjT FRONT
Government Declares Rumor Secre
tary Has Resigned or Contem
plated Doing So to Be
Baseless.
PLANT OF GLOBE IS SEIZED
LONDON, Nov. 7. "Lord Kitch
ener, at the request of his colleagues,
has left England for a .short visit to
the eastern theater of war,"
This announcement, made this eve
ning after a cabinet council an un
usual meeting for Saturday had a
long audience which Premier Asqutth
had with the king, set at rest rumors
current as to the war secretary's
present Intentions. '
. Later an additional official statement
was Issued, as foMows:
"The statement that Karl Kitchener has
resigned his post aa secretary of stats
for war has already been authoritatively
denied. It Is equally untrue to suggest
that Karl ; Kitchener has tendered his
resignation, or that his s-lslt to the king
had any relation to that Subject or that
hla visit to the eastern theater of war
In any way betokens that such resigna
tion Is contemplated.
' Will Not Give tp Tost. S
"On the contrary, this visit Is under
taken by him In discharge of his duty as
secretary of state for war, which duty
he has no Intention of abandoning."
Almost simultaneously with the an
nouncement of Lord Kitchener's proposed
visit to ths east, ths authorities seised
ths printing plant of the London Globe,
together with ths Issues of yesterday and
today. This Is ths first' action of the
kind taken by the authorities since the
outbreak of the war against a dally paper
In the United Kingdom. Some weekly
papers, both in England and In Ireland,
including the Labor Leader, were simi
larly treated some time ' ago, but the
Labor Leader after a secret trial of the
case was allowed to resume publication.
The Globe, while one of the oldest
papers published In ths country and long
considered a staid and conservative or
gan, has latterly lost that character and
has been chiefly noted for Its violent
sttacks on public men during the ad
ministration of the liberal government.
Government's BKter foe.
It has been one of the government's
bitterest opponents and has, since the
war, attacked virtually all of the mem
bers of the government. On Frtdsy It
bitterly attacked Sir Frederick E. Smith,
ths new attorney general, whom It had
heretofore supported and who ths eve
ning before had defended Premier Asqulth
sgalnst what he described "discreditable
personal attacks."
The Olobe also published a report of
the resignation of Lord Kitchener, this
being baaed chiefly on the fact that ths
war secretary had been received in audi
ence by the king Thursday night and a
brief announcement In a morning paper
that a change of the utmost Importance
was about to take place In the conduct
of the war.
The Globe Is edited by Charles Palmer,
for many years Its parliamentary re
porter. The Globe Is controlled by Cecil Harms
worth, brother of Lord Northcllffe. Mr.
Harmsworth's brother. Lord Northcllffe,
has been one of the severest critics of
the war oflce, through hjs newspapers,
the Times and the Mall.
The announcement that Lord Kitchener
Is to visit ths east did not come as a
surprise. It was generally believed when
It became known that he was shout to
undertake a mission that the Kalkans
would be his destination, for there Is no
man in the British empire better equipped
with a knowledge of near eastern affairs,
military and political, than he.
It la thought that his activities will
not be confined to this theater of the
war, however, but that ho will vUlt
Egypt to inspect the defenses of the
Sues canal against a possible German
or Turkish attack; Mesopotamia where
the British expedition is doing bigger
things than was expected of It and la
now nearing Bagdad, and the Dardanelles,
where steps are being taken to push the
operations to a conclusion.
Besides this. It Is undestood that his
duties will Include efforts to co-ordinate
the work of the general staffs ot th
allied armies. . .
Tho police officers, who seised the
Globs newspaper, made a thorough Job
of it. They cut off the electric, power,
removed the sterotype plates withdrew
the vital parts of th llnotyp"'inachlnes
and presses snd seised all copies of
yesterday's and today's papers, and even
the manuscript, which bad been prepared.
