BIGAMIST ADMITS
MURDER O. GIRL
WHO MARRIED HIM
Makes Admission Which Will
Probably Land Him in the
Electric Chair.

New York, Oct. 27.-Frederick Beb-
hardt, alias Mueller, the German piano
maker, who was arrested last night on
the belief that he might know m
thing of the death of Anna Latter, the
young German woman whose skeleton
was found at Isiip, L. l., recently, sons
fessed to the Brooklyn police today
that he murdered the girl.
Gebhardt, according to the statement
given out by the police. said he shot
the woman because he had too many
wives.
Gives Graphic Details.
Gebhardt said he married Miss Lat
ter In Newark, in February, 1908, and
then went abroad on a wedding trip.
On his return to this country in the
following April he took his wife to Bay
Store, L. l., not far from Islip, and
showed her some property, which he
told her he would like to have her buy.
The woman declined to make the pur-
chase and Gebhardt said he then told
her he was married n had no further
use for her. According to Gebhardt,
the woman became hysterical and,
throwing her arms around her neck,
begged him not to leave her.
Il tried to run away from her and
h followed me, calling for me to
stop" Gebhardt told the police. Il
llIieH luTIlSu aIlQ ufdWlHS my revolver,
shot her. Just how many times I shot
her | do not know. / then threw the
revolver away and fed
The confession was made to Acting
Captain Coghlan, Coroner Savage, of
Suffolk county, and two detectives.
Present Wife Gives ctew.
Mueller's present wife gave an I'M
portant clew against him. She said
that she has lived in terror of her life
for a long time, n that on one occa-
sion her husband was heard to declare
that she was his eighth wife, and that
all who preceded her were in their
graves. The police believe that they
have started to uncover a wholesale
trail Of murder and bigamy.
Mueller admitted shortly after his
arrest that he, had married the Latter
girl, the finding of whose skeleton
started the present Investigation, in
February, 1908. His story was, how
ever, that, after living with her three
months, he had deserted her, and thai
he had lost all track of her where
abouts. He was submitted to a severe
questioning, with the result, 1t is
claimed, that he broke down and on
fessed to numbering her.
Had Planned to Vanish
The police found four notes, written
by Mueller on october 2S, the day be-
fore his arrest, all Of which indicate
that he intended to disappear. One OF
the notes, which was addressed to the
Long Island City bank, reads as fol-
lows:
please pay my account to my wife,
Anna Gebhardt. l am legally dead

Should Be Well Supported

The attendance at the meet of Satur-
day and Sunday was not strictly up to
Los Angeles standard. Few can realize
the expense of even making start at
opening such a field of promotion. The
installation of the repair pits, extension
of water feeds to each with hose con-
nections for each car, the patent score
board, the employment Of 'really" po-
licemen outside and inside the grounds;
care of the track and it's repairs, the
water bill alone being prodigious, as,
for example, 100000 gallons being
used in wetting down the track. The
management deserves the good support
of the public who enjoy clean exhibit
tions Of mechanical and mental skill,
where the game is clean and on the
square, as it is now at Ascot park.
The people are disposed to be fair and
liberal and If the sports arranged by
Hempel and Henry are maintained
as they have been started, they will
meet with the success they deserve.

A STORYTELLING Picture

All the type in The Herald office can
not tell as strong a story as a photo
graph in another column of this paper
speaks of what a live business concern
is doing in the automobile business.
The picture shows an ordinary regular
weekly shipment of Studebaker cars
coming to the Lord Motor Car COM
pany once every six days. They are
not sent to storage, but are u, and
the next week sees another shipment
just like it standing at the doors of
the show rooms. No promising cars
next month or three months hence, but
buy your car and take 1t along with
you If you like.
And there is a good reason for this.
The Lord Motor Car company has a
great popular priced car with a factory
that is turning out prodigious numbers
of machines daily. They have the
goods, tell the people in The Herald
that they have them, and they have
the buyers come for them and drive
them off There's a lesson in the Stu
debaker picture for others.

sKILLFUL DRIVING OF A
CAR THAT is RIGHT

Again did the audience at Ascot
park have the opportunity to witness
the work of an accomplished, cool
headed, thinking driver of a racing
automobile. Twice yesterday did
Frank Free, the big, cool. straight,
skillful manipulation Of the circled
track, pilot his car to first place and
took down the $275 of Hemple & Hen
rvs money they had offered to the
winner.
Like a baseball hero, Free may be
expected not to be long in this section
of the country on the race track. His
driving is as notable as the work Of
his car. The little Corbin is all that
has been said of her in the east, where
she has been making good. She has
the stuff" in her. She is strong,
splendidly constructed machine, with
parts that are built for HARD work, will
stand the strain to which any car is
put on a race course such as she has
been trundling over for two days at a
clipping gait, and her driver knows
her from tire to wheel.
The skill with which the Corbin
dashed into the lead and hugged the
innermost tracks showed the cool,
steady hand of Free, and follow him
again in that 100 miles, his wheels are
beating down the exact tracks which
marked his first time round. Nothing
flurries Free, no dash of a nearby car
worries him i'll the least, for, when he
finds himself crowded slightly, he has
the knack of giving her the gun and
his machine responds as does the fly
ing horse at the word of his master.
The Corbin is a wonder Of a car, and
has a skilled and accomplished driver.
That tells the tale briefly

The arrangements for the meet can
not be too highly complimented. The
policing OF the track was perfect, an

and yesterday for service, but for
tunately was not required. The track
was always clear. none but the judges
and newspaper men being allowed in
the timekeepers' stand, the score board

played popular airs well, the public
has been told that it can have
clean, straight racing entertainment

ANOTHER MARK OF GROWTH,

Has it occurred to you that the large
number of first-class theatrical attrac-
tons in Salt Lake last week is some
thing of a proof of growth?
There was the Cohan royal family"
at the Salt Lake theatre; the Cay Mu-
stefan" company at the Shubert; cap
ital attractions at the Colonial the
Bungalow and the Grand, and a whole
houseful at every performance in the
Orpheum.
And good audiences proved apprecia-
ton at every one of them.
Salt Lake has always been noted as a
good show town 1t is getting even
better. That is one Of the indicat ons.
Not only does it prove the larger num-
Der of people from whom such an at
tendance can be drawn, but it proves
the financial ability of the people to
pay for their amusements.
Possibly, also, 1t proves that Salt
Lake is inclined to discriminate, and
gives its approval to the attractions
which really have merit.
Don't let the notion get current that
any old kind of a show would win the
support that was given to those the
atrical offerings of last week

SHE WANTS A HOME,

If Margaret Ellington knows herself,
she wants a home. Because of that,
she divorced a husband who gave her
all the money she needed-even if she
had not been big money-maker her
self; a husband who was never cruel
to her. who gave no cause for jealousy,
and who was very tender and proud of
her. But he didn't give her a home.
He didn't want a home. He got along
very well at hotels and restaurants and
Pullman cars.
The only question is: Does Miss
Ellington know herself? 1t is by no
means a settled question.
She has the precedent of Mary An
derson. it is true. That young woman
married because she wanted a home
and got it. Although she stood at the
very pinnacle of dramatic success, she
put all public triumphs behind her, and
settled down in q home that she has
never tired of, and which nothing could
induce her to abandon.
Miss Ellington may be another of the
Mary Anderson sort.
And then, again, she may not. 1t is
just possible that she will more resem-
bic the vast majority. And the vast
majority of women-as well as men
who have known the sweets Of drama
tic success are never happy away from

PLANS FOR FIVE YEARS.

Boston is planning for a five-year
campaign that has the bettesment of
Boston as it's motive. Those who in
augurate the plan set their eyes on the
year 1915. and make the picture of the
Boston of that day as fair as fancy
can mount and reason will permit them
to hope. And then all the city is get
ting into the harness with the hearty
pledge 10 work toward the realization
of that dream.
And they can have whatever kind of
city they want. 1t has been said that
a hundred earnest men can make a
city anywhere. Boston has more than
that number devoted to the 1915 picture.
We of Salt Lake would do well to
follow the Boston example. An expo
sition at the expiration of that time is
one of the things the Massachusetts
capital is planning. A national fair in
Salt Lake would be quite as easy of
realization.
This city is going forward pretty
well as it is. But it would lose nothing
by having a definite ideal, accepted by
the community generally, for its OBJ
jective.
One of these things would be the
erection of the new capitol. Surely our
people cannot afford to go forward
further without starting on that i'm
portant and necessary work.

NOW HE GIRL CITY.

Boy cities have been with US for
some years. A New York school teacher
has established a girl city. The girls
conducted an election, chose mayor.
a chief of police and a prosecuting at
torney. The mayor is also the judge.
The pupils are all in the grades, and
they have taken most of the task Of
discipline away from the teacher.
These elected officers keep watch
over the pupils for infractions of rules
that the teachers and the school board
nave laid down. Any offense is prose-
cuted by the pupils, defense is made,
end sentence is pronounced if the ac-
FUSED is proved guilty. Gum chewing,
whispering, the calling of unseemly
names, the theft of schoolroom arti-
cIes-these are some of the offenses
which are prohibited; and the punish
ments run all the way from five-min-
ute detention after school to a public
apology to the principal.
Reports claim success for the girl
city. The pupils are put on honor. just
as boys are where self government is
entrusted to them. And the RESPONSE
bility seems to have a good effect. The
rooms where this method has been
adopted are said to be better behaved,
TO give better results in school work.
and to apparently develop character in
the girls and boys beyond any other
device that has been tried.
The thing is as much of compliment
to the qualities of the pupils as to the
ingenuity and patience of the teachers
who inaugurated it.
Children are curious creatures, at
best. And that person who solves even
a part of the riddle of their bringing up
has greatly helped the world

the footlights. They have tasted the in
toxieating wine of public applause. and
they want it again. For that they will
give up anything under heaven.
1t is 10 be hoped the young woman
who made so capital an actress may
make as good a mistress of home. The
man she has just married is abun-
dainty able to give her all that her
talents ever could earn-and more.
Besides, he wants home. He doesn't
like the hotel, and he abominates the
restaurant.
1t isn't especially the business of the
public at large, excepting as the public
liked Miss Ellington, the actress. And
the public which Endorsed her and her
art will be very sorry indeed to learn
later that she was mistaken-and tina,
she didn't want home as much as she
believed she did.

STICK TO THE TEXT.

In the little exchange of courtesies be-
tween The Herald-Republican and the
Tribune it will not be forgotten that
there is just one matter with which the
people care to concern themselves.
The neutrality-suspicious. has over H.
600 circulation daily, and much more
than 10000 on Sunday.
The Tribune has less than 5000 daily.
The Herald-Republican is ready and
willing to make proof OF it's claims.
The Tribune permits no examination
Of its circulation to be made-not even
by the advertisers, who have a right
to know.
Calling names will not alter the fact
that The Herald-Republican is the
leading paper of the state and of the
city.
The use of vulgar epithets Will not
convince any one that the paper is
badly managed which has 1900 actual
paid subscribers daily and more than
10000 on Sunday.
And the plainest fact in the world is
that a paper with only 5000 is not in
position to pretend a superiority TO it's
better patronized competitor.
