TENNANT DECLARES KRAUSE IS
UNDOUBTEDLY GUILTY OF
MURDERING CHRISTIE
A. P. A. Ssrvics.
SEATTLE, >(ov. 16.—On emerging
from his private office this afternoon
following a four hour session with
Krause, the suspected murderer of
William Christie, Captain Charles Ten
nant, chief of the city detective force,
said there was not the least doubt
that Krause is the guilty man and ,
despite some of the discrepancies in
t ie chain of evidence that fs being1
forged around the latter, he believed J
that the fact would be established to J
the complete satisfaction of a jury.
"There is not the slightest doubt in
my mind after this interview that Ed
ward Krause murdered William Chris
tie. his chief motive being love for
Mrs. Christie, whose first husband,
Uehekus, wus also a German and a
great friend of Krause. I also hope
to soon bring out evidence that will
show' that Krause also murdered the
old man whose name he was using at
the time of his arrest. The man Moe
who is so prominently connected with
the affair is also missing under very
strange circumstances to say the least.
Deeds to M,oe of various pieces of
teal estate in King county were found
in the possession of Krause when my
men arrested him and this coupled with
the fact that Moe's disappearance has
not been satisfactorily explained lead
■o the belief that he has been done
away with in order to prevent the pos
sibility of his giving testimony con
cerning the Christie affair.
'.Ve also found Christie’s signature
nt’cehed to a document in the posses
sion of Krause and which It appears
he had cut from the purported war
rant read to Christie and which Krause
had him sign while the latter was at
tempting to make Christie believe that
lie was under arrest. We have also
found that Krause carried a murder
ous looking gun when he went aboard
the Jefferson on his way to Alaska."
I "iinent states that they have estab
lished the movements of Ole Moe up
to the point that Krause became as
set’.tied with him in the launch in
which H. Dahl and Moe were inter
ested while in Alaska. Tennant says
that Moe and Dahl left for the north
in the launch in 1913. Krause later
went north and purchased Dahl's In
terest In the boat and the latter re
turned to Seattle. Not long thereater
.according to the story told by Krause
to Tennant, Moe left the north after
ward going to Europe. By way of
explaining tlie deed for Moe's property
found in his possession when he was
taken into custody, Krause claims that
he loaned Moe the sum of three hun
ted dollars on the property before
tlie latter departed or Europe.

ROOSEVELT WILL OPPOSE ANTI
PREPAREDNESS CANDIDATES
A. P. A. Service.
NEW YORK, Nov. 16.—Discussing
the part that Colonel Roosevelt will
play In the coming election Wilson
Gardner stated that the former will op
pose any candidate that will not place
himself on record as favoring a com
plete state of national preparedness
and is also opposed to any candidate
who may have had a hand In his fail
ure to secure the republican nomln
atlon at the last convention. Gardner
says that on an Issue of adequate
preparedness Roosevelt will support
any republican who was not an active
participant in what he terms the
“theft” of his nomination four year
igo. On these grounds Root, Taft and
their friends are practically barred i
from receiving his support. "I make I
this statement on the very best au- |
fhority,” said Gardner, "Senator Cum- I
mings would be eligible for Roosevelt’s
upport," he continued, “but Burton Is
almost a too recent convert to the
preparedness program to satisfy the
colonel and it is probable that he would !
have to give further assurances before
Roosevelt would be Inclined to fa^ui
him.
Borah might get the Roosevelt sup
port In spite of the fact that the con
servatives are entirely dissatisfied with
his conservative record. It is assumed,
however, that Borah would stand for
s rcng preparedness program as the
pr Je of the support of Roosevelt."
er also declares that the colonel
nil also insist that the platform of
...f. ui the convention shall be rfhort
. d make adequate preparedness the
ading Issue.

RUSSIAN GIGANTIC
OFFENSIVE IN GALICIA
A. P. A. Service.
LONDON, Nov. 16.—Late advices
from the Times correspondent at Petro
grad state that the Russians are pre
paring for a renewal of the Qallclan
offensive on a gigantic scale and will
probably attempt to make the conquest
ot the Galician territory the first move
ment In a large plan Intended to cause
the Germans to withdraw their forces
from a large portion of the Russian
tei t itory.
The correspondent states that the
Russian authorities recognize that the
lask of driving the Germans back Is
i -ie of mammoth proportions and It is
determined that the surest plan of
causing them to withdraw lies in a
hurricane contest In the south which
will cause them to weaken their lines
in the Baltic provinces and Poland.
The dispatch states that the new Rus
siun army Is being equipped ready to
take part in the projected movement.
SERBIAN STRUGGLE
IS NEARING FINISH
A. P. A. Service.
SALONIKA, Nov. 16.—Reports from
the Serbian war zone Indicate that the
Serbs are fnst drawing near to the
end of their resources and the unequal I
struggle will soon be brought to a
close unless the allies can reach the
scene with sufficient forces to stay the
Teuton and Bulgarian advance.
The Serbs despite a reslstence from
all accounts the most heroic In his
tory, have been gradually hemmed In
on nil sides and are at present In Im
minent danger of being completely
surrounded by the Austro-German
forces who are reaching ever south-1
ward In the direction of Prishtina. i
The Serbs are offering a desperate !
resistance at the Babuna Pass but ow- !
leg to a lack of artillery will proba
bly have to give way before the su
perior strength of the enemy The lat
est reports from that locality Indicated
that they could not hold out much
longer. It is apparent that the only
hope of the Serbians at present is that
he forces now concentrating at Mlt
erovitza will prove to be strong enough
to take the offensive and advance
through the encroaching Teuton lines
toward Morst&lr and thus effect a
junction with the Serbian army oper
ating in the southern districts.
Recent reports from Mltrovitza state
that the people of that place are In a
pitiable condition from lack of food
owing to the cutting off of supplies
through the seizure of the railroad by
the Bulgarians. It is said that there
is not even bread to be had and the
oeople are reduced to living on ground
straw and such fruits as grow in the
adjacent valleys. In many sections the
people have nothing to eat but apricots
which grow in great profusion in that
region.

ROUTED !AT BABUNA PASS
j
A. P. A. Service.
ATHENS, Nov. 16.—Late reports from i
he northern war zone In Serbia state
that the Serb forces defending the
Babuna Pass have been completely ,
overwhelmed by the wave of advancing
Teutons and are rapidly retreating to j
Mltrovltza where they will make a last
stand against the overwhelming host
of the invaders.
The Bulgarians are now reported to 1
be moving rapidly forward from the !
Kratova region for the purpose of cut- I
ting off a possible retreat toward Mon
astir. In the event that this move
ment is successful the Serbian forces
in the north will be practically sur
rounded with little hope of escape
save by surrender. The allied forces
in western Bulgaria are reported to be
making steady advances along the
Struma toward Sofia with the Bulgars
offering a stiff resistance.
