America from Poland FIVE years ago
and worked on a farm near Lynn,
Mass. On February 10, 1905, he mar
ried the woman whose murder he now
confesses. When he married her, he
states, the woman represented that
she had $500. and was but 2S years
old. He found afterwards that she
possessed but $500 in money and was
more than 40 years old. The decep-
ton she worked upon him was the
constant cause of quarrels, he says,

NoRWEolANs ASK RECOGNITION
FROM UNITED STATES.
Document Has Been Prepared and
Special ENJOYS to Present Same.

Chicago.-It is said that the indie
pendent Norwegian government is
prepared to ask official recognition
from the United States, and that spe-
cial ENJOYS have been in this country
some time looking over the ground.
This was developed Tuesday with the
return from New York of Il. Hermann
Gade, mayor OF Lake Forest, III.
Mayor Gade is an active worker for
an international status for Norway.
He has been in New York for the last
ten days in conference with J. Irgens,
a special Norwegian envoy, who a
few years ago was secretary Of the
Norwegian-S Swedish committee that
treated and dealt with the consular
question.
The conference included Christian
Haugee, who up to the time OF his res.
ignation a month ago was the charge
d'affalres and secretary Of the Nor
wegian-Swedish legation at Washing
ton. After consultations with such
eminent international authorities as
Prof. Moore Of Columbia university
and John w. Easter. an informal docu-
ment was drawn up for presentation
to the state department to serve as a
"feeler" for the official document
which which may be expected to fol-
low.
The communication which has been
prepared and is to be presented in the
name of Mr.. Haugee. as private cit
lzen, asks some pertinent questions Of
the state department. as follows:
"Will the United States government
officially receive diplomatic ENJOYS
and recognize consuls appointed by
the Norwegian government?
will the United States be incluined
TO permit its consular officials In diff
ferent countries TO take charge Of the
interests OF Norwegian citizens there
that may require attention until such
consuls can be appointed and sent to
such countries by the Norwegian gov.
ernment?"
Recognition will be asked from the
United States first" explained Mayor
Gade today, because OF the stand
which this nation has already taken
in international questions Of this kind,
and also because OF the present pres
tige of the United States in interna-
tional diplomatic circles.
I'VE were assured by the authori.
ties on international law with whom
we consulted In the east, and have not
the slightest doubt ourselves of our
right to recognition"

RUSSIA STATES
HER POSITION
viii Not Consent to Peace on Grounds
That Would Affect Her Dignity.

ST. interchangeable Novoe Vremya
Monday prints the following statement
Of Russla's position, which may be in
spired:
Russia can consent only to such
peace as will not affect the dignity or
vital interests of the empire. To act
otherwise would be fatal to Russia,
and would threaten all Europe. Eu-
rope no longer believes in Japan's
assurances that she will not restrict
European interests in the far east.
Even In England and America the
voices OF moral instigators can be
heard in favor of the indirect influ-
ence of the powers to moderate ia
pans demands. Our plenipotentiaries
must remember that they must defend
also of the other Caucasian powers,
and they will find moral support in
Berlin, Paris, Washington and per-
haps even in London. Our army in
the field is much stronger than 1t was
fifteen months ago.
THE Hamburger Nachralien pro-
poses that Europe intimate to Japan
that extreme demands will be resisted
by Europe In general, especially Ger
many. This is a valuable statement.
We must ascertain the acceptable
miximum of our concessions to Japan
in European point Of view, and act ac-
cordingly."

Heuter, retired San Francisco mer-
chant and a pioneer paint manufac-
turer was shot and instantly killed at
his home in the Santa Cruz noun
tains, near Patchen, Friday night. A
coroner's jury Saturday exonerated
Mrs. Heuter, who claimed the shoot
ing was done in selfdefense.
According to Mrs. Heuter's story,
they quarreled over a trifiing incident.
Heuter sprang from his bed and
seized a shotgun. Mrs. Heuter, real
izing that her situation was desperate.
drew from beneath her husbands pill
low a revolver which was always kept
there, and before he could raise the
weapon, fired at him. II Is supposed
that death ensued almost Immediately
after the shot was fired, as the bullet
entered the back of the neck and pen
etrated the brain.
Mrs. Heuter, who is 30 years Of age,
was Teuter's third wife. Heuter was
20 years old

Guard Saved Treasure.

Laporte. Ind.-Regaining his senses
while two masked robbers were trying
to break open the treasure box OF the
United States Express company, G. w.
Angerman, the guard, opened fire on
the men and put them to rout.
The attempted hold-up occurred at
an early hour Sunday morning. while
the transfer wagon was en- route to the
Lake Erie station. Angerman, the
guard, was seated on the rear of the
wagon. The bandits struck him, and
at the same time they pulled him
from the vehicle they seized the iron
box. Rufus Mccarthy, the colored
driver of the wagon, proceeded on his
way, but soon noticed his companion
was missing. He promptly returned,
but by this time the guard had re-
gained consciousness and opened his
successful attack on the men.
Angerman was badly bruised up
about the head, but his condition is in
no wise serious.

Fast Flyer In Wreck.

Harrisburg Pa.-Train No. 2S, on
the Pennsylvania railroad, known as
the Pennsylvania flyer, the new eight.
een-hour train from Chicago and New
York, met with an accident Saturday
a mile west Of Port Royal which for
tunately did not result seriously. A
westbound freight train near Port
Royal tried to stop suddenly and the
engineer made too violent applica-
ton OF the air, the consequence OF
which was that car buckled and was
thrown over to track No. 1, on which
the flyer was speeding east. An at
tempt was made to flag the train, but
the break occurred almost simultan-
eously with the arrival of the flyer, and
the train plunged into the wreck: The
momentum threw the wrecked car
from the track. but the flyer did not
jump the rails.
Beyond the damage to the engine,
which was slight, and the smashing
of the platform of the combination
baggage and smoker the train was not
damaged. 1t arrived here at 1928 and
left at S:33, two hours and forty min
utes late.
