ahY3 MRS, INNE:
THIED TO POION
HRST HUSBAND
Relative of Woman Accused in
Nelms Case Gives Slauths
* New Clews.
Mrs. Jda May Innes, held as an
socessory In the alleged murder of
Beatrice Neims and Eloise Nelms
Dennis, {s pictured as a woman who
may prove to be another Belle Guin
ness, of the "“death farm” at Laporte,
Ind, In reports received Saturday
night'by Dan 8. Lechon from Burne
aperatives who have been investigat
fng in the West the careers of the
strange Innes palr,
That she, instead of Innes, may
have been the dominant apirit In
mulcting Eloize Dennis of thousands
of Aollars and than—if the theory of
the detectives is borne out—in pol
soning both Mrs. Dennis and her gls
ter, Beatrice Nelms, is suggested by
an Interview with Mre. Edith L. Har
baugh, a slster-in-law of Mrs. Innes
Here are a few of the charges and
suspicions voiced by Mrs. Harbaugh,
who was seen by Burns men at her
fhome, No. 619 Tarkin street, San
Francisco:
Tried ¢o Polwon Chum.
She told Mrs. Harbaugh that she
once had put polson in sugar to be
used by a girl chum whom she hated,
The polson, sald Mrs. Innes, was
etrychnine. |
£he sald, according to Mrs. Har-
Baugh, that she had read the lives
of great poisoners, and had studied
the effects of various poisons on the
dody, learning those whose presence
would be difficult to detect in a dead
body. |
She declared, Mrs. Harbaugh told
the detectives, that she would polson
her husband (her hushand then was
€. K. Harbaugh) because he neglect
ed her. This also was to prevent dls
grace, because he iz sald to have
jearned of her {ndiscretions with oth
er men.
Planned to Use Chioroform.
The detectives’ informant sald Mrs.
Irines (then Mrs. Harbaugh) had told
her she would set & large sponge with
ehloroform in his room, hiding it. This
man later died of slow paralysis—a
natural death, the doctors sald,
“] have heard,” sald Mrs. Innes’
glster-in-law, “that some polsons
bring on slow paralysis.”
Mrs. Innes took twins out of a
' diing home in New York, which,
i@.‘n.chlng Portland, she foisted on
her hushand, C. K. Harbaugh, in or
der to participate In his estate. Both
children died, and Harbaugh burled
them as his own. .
~ Mrs, Innes never had any chlldren
_of her own, and the two now with her
undoubtedly are for sympathy pur
poses, ' |
i “Son” a Foundling. ‘
The young man known as “Arthur
Harbaugh,” suppogedly a son of Mrs.‘
Innes by her marriage to C. K. Har
baugh, is said by Mrs. Edith Har-‘
baugh to have been a foundling by
‘the name of George Nelson, adopted
by Mrs. Innes.
Mrs. Innes, disguised In a blonde
wig, is reported to have been arrest
ed in company with a man nth'r than
her husband, & “pal” with whom she |
was alleged to be on Intimate terma.‘
At one time she poisoned two
beautiful hunting dogs belonging to‘
her husband and at various times she
was known to be preparing poison
and frequently talked of It |
Besides relating these black sus
picions, Mrs. Harbaugh, the sister
fn-law of Mrs. Innes, went Into the
detall of Mrs. Innes' alleged indis
cretions. The name of a youth of 16
was mentioned.
% Couple Refuse to Talk.
The seme detective saw T. J. Pin
der, of No. 515 Bush street, San
Francisco, and from him obtained
the admission that Mrs. Innes, then
Mrs. Harbaugh, had foisted a child
on him, claiming that he was the
father and she the mother. An in
vestigation is sal!d to have devel
oped that the child was from g
foundling home.
Dispatches from San Antonlo say
that Innes and his wife are taking
the situation calmly. They. refuse to
talk at length with the newspaper
men.
Not until Monday will Chemist I,
A. Nester make his report on the
substances taken from the cesspool
back of No. 120 Wilkins avenue, San
Antonio, where the Nelms gtrl; are
supposed to have been murdered. He
informed District Attorney Linden
Saturday afternoon there were signs
ef bone present in the substances
but he would not be able to determine
until after more exhaustive tests,
Mr. Linden frankly sayve that the
theory of destruction of the bodies
by acid appears to be crumbling
There has been no effort to obtain
the release of Innes and Mrs. Innes
through habeas corpus proceedings,

AUTD MAGNATE
AND SAVANNAH
BELLE TO WED
Mutual Enthusiasm for Road
Races Caused Them to Meet
at Vanderbilt Cup Event.
SAVANNAH, Sept, s—Miss Inez
Tiedeman's idea of a regular thrill is
the tingle that coimes trom watching
a 400-horsepower racing car take a
road turn on two wheels, half hidden
in a swirl of smoke and dust.
Roy D. Chapins likes to watch the
gpeed fiends, too. Put with him it's
business. He is president of the
Hudson Motor Company, of Detroit,
which, as any automobile man will
tell you, is quite some job.
So Miss Tiedeman, seeking thrills,
and Mr. Chapin, sreking engineering
nints, attended the Vanderbilt Cup
races.in Savannah.
An Acknowledged Beauty.
Miss Tiedeman 1s acknowledged
heiress to Mrs. Ted (‘ov'as title, “the
prettiest girl in Savannah.” So Mr.
Chapin is not to be criticised if he
took his eyes from automobiles now
and again to notice the beautiful
young race ‘fan.”
He sought an Introduction, and
found himself presented to the daugh
ter of Savannah's former Mayor,
George W. Tiedeman, one of its
wealthlest citizens, himself a gener
ous contributor to the Vanderbilt
race funds.
With the mutual enthusiasm for
motor cars as a basis, acguaintance
developed rapidly. Mr, Chapin was
entertained at “Carsten Hall,” the
Tiedemans’ handsome home. He fell
in love—with Savannah, so he said—
and bought Sapelo Isiand to prove it.
Then he invited Mr. Ticdeman and
his daught:r to be his guests on his
private car at the Elgin and Indian
apolis races.
Now They're to Marry.
And yesterday the engagement of
Savannah's belle and the automobile
magnate was announced.
Miss Tiedeman was a debutante of
last winter She ils a graduate of
Smith College, where she acquitted
herself with distinction. She was the
idol of all Savannah early this year,
when she was “Queeg of the May” in
a magnificent pageant for charity,
which owed much of Its success to
her adsistance.

COTTON PRICES
\ET IN DOUET:
CAOP THRII
MEMPHIS, Sept. s.—Little progress
was made during the week in solving
the problem of what cotton is worth,
although prices paid for what little
wag sold had a downward tendency.
Information as to what was belng
dYne came glowly and through irreg
ular channels, all the exchanges, save
Augusta, refraining from posting any
quotations, But such advices as
trickled through indicated that the
gellers were getting very low figurea.
Texas was perhaps doing most of
the selling, but grades there were
generally low, and some observars
were of the opinion that it was un
safe to form ideas based on tho‘e
early operations. New England
wires and reports sald that offers re
ceived there were at low figures,
around 8 cents for middling landed,
but there was some disposition to
hesitgte in accepting such as a falr
index to the situation.
The absence of a medium through
which all sides to the market could
express ideas of value was felt and
close attention was given to anything
indicative of light on when the con
tract markets .an be reopened. The
arrival of the committee from Liver
pool to try to effect a settlement of
the big straddle interest between the
foreign market and New York, estl
mated to be about 300,000 bales, has
resulted in a compromise plan clear
ing the situation.
Use of Exchanges Shown. ’
It has been believed that with this
big interest out of *he way there
could soon be a resumption of future
trading, which would enable hedging
and thus facilitate business ig the ac
tual. The need of the contract mar
ket as an ald to spot business has
been greatly emphasized, aecording to
many people in the trade, although it
remains to be seen whether more
buying of raw material for the con
sumers wiil depend on the resumption
of trading.
Nothing has been done here during
the week toward taking advantafe of
the Federal assistance to holding
through the distribution of funds tu
be secured by warehouse certificates,
although one reason for this is that
the movement in this territory will
hardly be important for a couple of
weeks to come. Memphis now has
wiflrehouse capacity for 400,000 bales,
but plans are being worked out for
enlarging this materially whqen the
occasion demands.
The banks are getting ready to meet
the situation as best they can, but
they will do this through the usual
channels by taking care of their line
of customers and a resort to redis
counting through the emergency cur
rency association, and later through
the regional bank at St. Louis. There
is warehouse room enough here now
to tax the ability of the lecal banks
to finance, but larger plans are in
mind. = S L
Crop Progresses Well.
The progress of the crop during the
week was regarded as fairly satls
factory, though some complaints of
damage from too much rain reached
here. The Government report on coli
dition of the crop on August 25 was
about as expected, and stimulated
enlarged expectations of yield. Opin
fon here is that since that report was
made up the prospect has not been
materially altered, but that an early
fall would cut down yield consider
ably. Already there is talk of lots of
cotton that will not be picked because
of the low price, but that will depend
largely on developments. There is no
question of this situation delaying the
harvesting process, although the
weather checked opening over a wide
area.
A feature of the week that escaped
much notice, but which will be re
garded as important later, was the
changing of the statistical year. 1t
now is starting August 1 instead of
September 1. This will help the trade
to get a better line in future on the
figures of each crop, and the confu
sion in comparisons will not be im
portant, i

CHICAGD WHEAT
MIRKET SHOM
“OIP I PRIES
131 JOBEPE F. PRITCHARD,
CHICAGO, ept. B.~There were
losses In the Chicago wheat market
of 3-4 u! 1 1-4 c to-day. This dip
in prices was the result of those hav
ing profits securing the same by sell
ing the grain.
, The fact that some of the leading
members of the Chicago Board of
T'rade have, it is sald, intimated to
exporters the desirability of report
ing less business for a while, so that
the market could quiet down, was
also a factor. This reported request
of Chicago officials is viewed by the
New York exporters with disfavor, as
they say that the volume of export
business has been vastly swollen
over the actual transactions,
The New Yorkers also point to the
fact that the Canadlan and American
export surplus was about 375,000,000
bushels, That last year the world's
imports were 665,000,000 bushels of
which 116,000,000 bushels were for
German and Austrian account, leav
ing net imports of 649,000,00 bushels,
s 0 that the American supply was two
thirds of the entire imports last year
of all the countries which can now
be supplied.
A Difference of Opinion.
The writer differs with the New
York Produce Exchangse exporters as
to the amount of wheat already sold
and being sold from day to day to
exporters,
The writer believes that the trans
actions on foreign account from day
to day are liberal not only in wheat,
but enormous in flour. These bread
stuffs are not all taken at Chicago. It
is useless to make any pretense to
cut down the actual business in
breadstuffs on foreign account, as the
business is reported by Broomhall or
other authorities from abroad, if the
sellers here fail to make the transac
tions public.
The action of the market last week
in advancing Ilc to 12 1-2¢ shows
what may be expected in the matter
of price changes whenever the public
and the foreigners inaugurate a buy
ing movement, and the offerings in
the pit come out slowly. Cash trans
actions here to-day were reported as
light 4t 125,000 bushels.
Sympathetic Gorn Market.
There were losses of 3-8¢ to 1 5-8¢
for corn, that market acting mainly
in sympathy with wheat and oats.
The country was selling cash corn in
a small way only, but the primary re
ceipts for the week show 6,259,000
bushels, compared with 5,297,000
bushels one vear ago. The condition
of corn in Michigan was placed at 89,
against 84 a yvear ago. The Missour!
condition was placed at 56.8, against
68 last September.
