New Orleans Holds Girl as

LOVES CLOTHES. HATES MEN.
Annie Crawford, Ugly and a Morphine
Fiend, Is Charged With Most Sen
sational Series of Crimes In
History of the South.
New Orleans, Sept. 23. That Annie
Crawford, ugly and a man hater, poi
soned four members of her family to
gratify her inordinate love of dress Is
the police theory of the most sensa
tional murder case in the history of
Now Orleans. That this love of dress
was exaggerated through the fact she
is a morphine fiend is another side
light. According to a statement by
tho district attorney after the girl
practically has been grilled for twenty-four
hours, she has not confessed
to her alleged crime or crimes, and
there is no likelihood of her doing so.
The woman she is twenty-seven
years old is under arrest charged
only with polsouing Elsie Crawford,
the stenographer, who died mysteri
ously a few days ngo. It seems al
most certain, however, that she soon
will be served with affidavits in simt
lar cases In which her father, her
mother nnd her sister will bo named
as the victims.
The result of the district attorney's
examination f the Crawford womau
and various relatives of the family is
being kept as secret as possible, but
the case appears to be growing more
serious all the time.
Annie Crawford through long serv
ice in the drug department of tho New
Orleans sanitarium, from which she
was discharged for alleged irregulari
ties in her accounts, was familiar with
the action of poisons and seemed to
have worked with the careful patience
of a scientist conducting an experi
ment. Her alleged methods some
times were crude, but she seldom bun
ded. Since her discharge from the hospi
tal two years ago she has not worked,
but has paid board to the undo and
mint with whom she lived. At first
die claimed she had saved up some
money, but later she said she could
not have kept up but for the insur
ance money she received by the deaths
of members of her family. In addi
tion to being addicted to morphine,
die was eccentric otherwise. She sel
dom ate at the table, usually taking
her meals in the kitchen. When
young, men called upon her sisters she
ran off and hid. Yet her clothes were
handsome and expensive.
Each of tho four whose deaths prob
ably were caused by the woman now
in prison carried insurance. Recently
Annie Crawford took out insurance
upon the remaining members of the
family.
Tho circumstances surrounding the
death of Elsie Crawford, who was the
prisoners junior by several years,
were mysterious at the time. Elsie
had been treated for heart trouble by
a Dr. Magulre, who, however, upon
the young lady's death on Saturday
refused to give a certificate of death,
saying that the symptoms were not
those of heart trouble. Dr. Maguiro
Is said to havo declared at the time
that if he had boon prevailed upon to
give n certificate of death he would
have diagnosed it as morphine poison

Taft Talks on Tariff at
Last Stop (n Kansas.
BIG CROWDS AT EVERY PLACE
President Visits Four of Eight Con
gressional Districts In State, Divid
ing Time Between Insurgents
and Stand Pat Statesmen.
Leavenworth, Kan.. Sept. 2S. Presi
dent Taft ended his four days' visit to
Kansas with speeches to three large
audiences.
There was a G. A. It. reunion meet
lng in Topeka and a county picnic at
Atchison, so that the president was
kept away from politics except for his
final address to a crowd In the public
square of this city. Here he discussed
tho tariff.
Mr. Taft just before leaving issued a
statement thanking the people of this
state for their kindly reception. Here
is the president's message to the Kan
sans: "1 am sincerely grateful to the people
of Kansas not only for the wnrm wel
come which they extended to me us
president of the United States, hut for
the kindly attention which they gave
to what I said. I found the intelligent
men nnd women of Kansas looking
prosperous, happy and contented and
congratulate them on the evidences
thereof thnt nbounded on every hand.'
Mr. Taft lias now traveled thrcnigh
four congressional districts of the eight
of this state. Two of these were In
surgent districts, admittedly so even in
Kansas, and two of them were ranked
as "stand pat." having returned their
old congressmen after hard fights iu
the primaries during the heyday of In
surgency in this section of the conn
try. It Is admitted by his enemies that
the president has covered n representa
tive portion of the state on his visit
The president's first day here was u
surprise to every one. The reception
did not abate in numbers through the
whole four days' trip in tho state.
Forty thousand people packed into
the public square before the state cap
Itol at Topeka, where tho president
spoke at tho G. A. It. reunion. Mr
Taft was obliged to go from one corner
of the big platform to th other in or
der to satisfy the crowds that banked
the platform on every hand. He made
most of his talk for the benefit of the
old soldiers, and only reserved a small
portion of it for himself in his arbitra
tion speech.
Tho picnic and reception at Atchison
was the most picturesque of the four
days of his visit hero. Balie Wuggem-r
was the host of the children of the
county, and the president nccepted the
Invitation to become n part of their
show.
In Leavenworth tho president had u
noisy reception. They brought out the
show cavalry from Fort Leavenworth
and several bands and gave the presi
dent a fine parade. It was close to n
hundred degrees where tho president
discussed the tariff with an lmmeuse
nudience in the public square. A cou
ple of old men had to be hurried out
of the press. It was another Kansas
audience thnt stood quiet and atten
tive while the president wont over the
tariff with them. The most persistent
criticism that has been leveled at the
president during his visit here has been
that he has wasted his audiences and
has not discussed politics as often as
he might.

Much Interest has been aroused
here by the announcement of the
well known scientific Investigator.
Commander Darget, of the success
of experiments In photographing hu
man uiougnt.
Commander Darget, w'ho has de-
oted a long time to the study of
hypnotism and kindred subjects,
stated yesterday to the Academy of
Science that after many trials he
had succeeded in obtaining photo
graphic impressions of thoughts of
concrete objects. He produced as
evidence two photographs, one show
ing a walking stick and the other a
bottle, In each case the image being
perfectly distinct.
In explanation of his achievement.
Commander Darget gave the fol
lowing acount of the process:
After staring a long time on the
object to be photographed in a
strong red light, concentrating all
nis attention on it, he fixed his gaze
with all the will power at his com
mand on a photographic -plate that
had previously 'been immersed in a
weak developer in a dark room. At
the end of a quarter of an nour the
imago of the object appeared on the
negative.
According to the commander's
theory, these astonishing results are
due to certain obscure light rays
