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

.'.-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

have been held In different sections of

the stato by Secretary Bernecker of tlm

State Board of Assessment during the

week past. These counties were Holt,

interested could send Its assessor or

tome other representative Mho could

take part In the meeting. The state was

cMv.ded Into etxht districts, and a meet

ing has been held In each one. Uni

rants against the stato general fund. On

Saturday svenlng the books showed a

that there will be no need to register

the neutral countries In. Europe

previously had with the nations at

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

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.
