RENT ALL HIS LIFE

Problem.

Ogden, Utah.-"I have paid rent all

declared Warren Foster, a well-known
Socialist writer and speaker, in a let
ter expressing his last wish, opened
after his death.
For the final disposition of my old
body" says the letter, my first wish
is that it be cremated. If this is incon-
venient or too expensive, then lay me
away in what is known as the potters
field. But in no event, under any con-
dition, am l to be buried in any ceme-
terry where they buy and sell lots or
charge a rental of any kind for keep
ing the lots in condition. Any evasion
of this request will meet with my
hearty disapproval and for which
there will be no forgiveness either in
this life or next.
IF my life service has not been
sufficient for the community to furnish
a place to rest this body when | get
through with it, then let them feed it
to the more merciful and more kindly
coyotes. Do not spend one cent for a
lot, directly or indirectly. l want no
landlord calling me up from rest to
pay his rent"
The body was sent to Denver for

SLAIN FOR HER GOLD.
OTTO MUELLER, HUSBAND OF
lsLlP MURDER VICTIM, BEING
SOUGHT BY POLICE.
BELIEVED TO Be IN COLORADO
General Alarm Has Been Sent All
Over the United States and Police
Of Germany Urged to Watch
for Him.

New York City.-The police as.
serted that evidence indicated Mrs
Anne Luether Mueller, whose body
was found in the woods near Islip,
L.. l., had been slain for 1915 which
h is known to have had in her pos
session and the hunt for Otto Mueller,
the missing husband of the woman,
was made worldwide.
A cable dispatch from Hamburg
says that the police there are of the
opinion Mueller may have been a pro
tessional marriage swindler. The re-
port that Mueller had gone to Colo
RADIO was strengthened by information
that Herman Luether, father of the
dead woman, who lives in Waldo, Sax
ony, received several letters from
Mueller, mailed from Trinidad, Col.
A general alarm for Mueller has
been sent all over the United States
and the police of Germany have been
urged by the German consul to keep
a lookout for the man.
The evidence unearthed leads the
police to believe that Mrs. Mueller
was killed a few days after she ar
rived here with her husband from Ger
many, April 4, 1908. When she came
she had 1900 marks, or about 1915 in
gold, a wedding gift from her father,
whose home the married couple had
visited while abroad. She carried this
money in a pocket in her skirt.
Woman Identified.
The Identification of the dead WON.
an was made positive by MI. and Mrs.
Gottlieb S~chweikert of Newark.
Following their declaration to the
police that they recognized the jewel
ry found on the skeleton, through pic
lures published in the newspapers.
they were induced to go to Islip and
look at the various articles. The rem
nants of clothing were first placed be-
fore Mrs. Schweikert.
AS she examined the corsets, Mrs. |
Schweikert gasped and tears sprang
to her eyes.
"They are Annals" she cried. "She
showed them to me when she came
from Germany"
Why She Was Slain.
Coroner Savage asked Mrs. Schwei-
kert if she could possibly think of any
reason why Mrs, Mueller had been
slain.
"Yes," the woman said positively.
sit is plain to me now. When Anna
home her parents gave her 1900
marks in gold, which is about 1915.
When she returned she had the money
intact, and told me she was going to
put it in the bank. I know she had
not spent any of it on the day she left
with her husband.
Il am certain she was slain for this
money. She carried it in her dress in
special pocket that she had made
or it. 1t was all in gold, every bit of
t, and at night she would put in under
