WO[TER Will
Be EELECTR0CUTED
Degenerate Youth Met Just
Fate at the Hands of the
Jury

New York. April 2s-Albert VOL
ter, the degenerate youth of nineteen
years, who gloated over lewd pic
lures and was "crazy" about women,
must die in the electric chair for the
murder Of Ruth Wheeler, the pretty
fifteen year old stenographer. After
only one hour and fifty minutes of de-
liberation, jury in the court of spe-
cial sessions found him guilty of mur-
der in the first degree at 10:30 o'clock
last night, brought to a close a trial
marked by its swift movement and
its testimony Of horror.
The twelve men decided that he had
strangled Ruth Wheeler and thrust
her while yet alive in his fireplace.
where, soaked with oil, her crumpled
body writhed and burned. With the
same wax faced indifference that he
had shown throughout the trial, VOL
ter evinced no emotion when the YER
dict was announced. He had been
asleep in his cell, and sleeping sound
ly, while the jury was deliberatir on
his fate. This was made known by
a court attendant, who said that he
had to rouse the prisoner to bring him
into court. He will be sentenced ON
next Wednesday.

CONGRESS WILL
ADJOURN BY THE
MIDDLE OF JUNE
Members Are Anxious to Get
Back Home For the
Elections ..a1sai
THE FIVE ADMINISTRATION
BILLS WILL PROBABLY PASS
Leaders Want to Do Something to
Offset the Democratic Victories In
Massachusetts, and New YOrk-Fiye
Leading Bills to be Pushed.

Washington, April 23-Congress will
adjourn before the middle of June
and possibly by June 1, it is believ-
ed by President Taft and the admin
istration leaders. And before that
time, 1t is expected. most of the So
called administration measures now
before congress will have been pass
ed. or II not, they will be in such
shape that they can be enacted into
low soon after congress meets in De-
cember. Operating in favor of the
early passage of the five administra-
tion bills which are the railroad bill,
the statehood bill, the postal savings
bank bill, the conservation bill and
the anti-injunction bill, are two fac
tors. One is the fact that a number
Of the Republican members Of each
house wish to get back home as soon
as possible to prepare for the coming
congressional election. Another rea-
son is that the leaders feel they must
do something to Offset the Democr ratio
victories in the Fourteenth Massa-
chusetts and Thirty-second New York
districts.

REFUSED MONEY
Food Price Committee Unable to Get
Favorable Action

Washington. April 23-Charging
partisan motives on the part of the
movers of the cost of living inquiry,
which is proceeding under the direc-
tion of special senate committee of
which Senator Lodge is chairman.
Senator Hughes of Colorado today
prevented q vote on the resolution to
appropriate $65,000 to continue the
work. Democratic senators have pre-
vented vote on the resolution every
day for nearly .atweek. - *.
A speech by Senator Galtfnger fur
nished the foundation for Mr.. Hughes
charge of partisanship. He inter
preted that speech to be a claim that
the Republican members of the COM
mittee could select their own agents
to carry on the work.
Notwithstanding the frequent and
earnest denials from both Senators
0allinge rand Lodge, the Colorado
senator would not withdraw his state
ment that he believed the purpose of
the investigation to be to distort the
situation that the high cos Of living
could not be. attributed to the tariff.

PARTY CAUCUS
Effort to Reach an Agreement Of Ad.
ministrati0n Measures

Washington. April 23-The Repub-
ltcans Of the house will hold q eau
Gus to determine the course of party
action on the postal savings bank bill.
This is the partial outcome of the
conferences held between President
Taft, Representative Weeks, chair
man of the house committee on post
ofhces and post roads and others, on
the subject Of the present status of
the postal savings legislation. The
caucus will be held Immediately aft
er the disposition of the administra-
ton railroad bill and during the con-
sideration Of the sundry civil appro-
priation bill, probably next week.
The predicament into which this
legislation has finally grav!tated in
the house is causing the administra-
tion leaders in congress no little
concern and 1t is realized that only
by the most careful and concerted ac-
ton will it be enacted. 1t is stated
that only two Of the nineteen members
of the house committee on postofices
and post roads are unqualifiedly in
favor of the bill as it passed the sem
ate or in any form similar to that.

sent to accept only the most conser-
vative legislation along this line and
wishes to see the house pass bill
which will not commit the govern
ment to the proposition any further
than the undertaking of a sort Of ex-

Several members of the committee.
today expressed themselves as con-
sidering postal savings banks bill
the most important matter before
congress at the present session. They
believe that IL the government en-
barks upon this business it will lead
ultimately to far reaching conse-
quences involving possibly, nothing
more nor less than the government
conducting the banking business Of
the country.

BEARlNq FRUIT { . :.
President TaftAs Actiyity With Con.
gressional Leadei3 Having Effect

Washington, April 23-Evidences in
crease that President Taft's recent
activity with the congress leaders is
bearing fruit and it was declared to-
day that the house organization was
not only willing but anxious to get
behind the president and adopt his
measures. Whether recent political
events have, had an effect on the or
ganization and shown. the necessity
of getting together and doing some
thing before the fall election, is a
matter Of conjecture. President Taft
is reported to be more pleased today
over the outlook for his measures
in congress than he has been: at any
time since the present session began.
1t was stated today that as soon
as the railroad bill was out of the
way in the house, caucuses would be
called by the Republican organiza-
tion on the postal savings bank and
anti-injunction bills. The insurgents
will of course, be invited to these eau
cuses in accordance with the agree
ment brought about by President Taft
some time ago.

Marine League Would Be Ben.
eficiary of Additional Ton
age Of Vessels

Washington, April 23-The direct
interest of members of the executive
committee of the Merchant Marine
league of the United States in the leg
islation which they urged for the
restoration of the merchant marine
was brought out at today's hearing
before the house ship subsidy inves-
tigating committee.
Prosecuting Attorney Ralston, who
Is counsel for Representative Steener-
son of Minnesota, the aggrieved men,
ber under the leagues propaganda,
prodded Secretary Penton of the
league as to the effects of the second
clause Of the Humphreys bill. Under
his questioning the witness admitted
that a large proportion of the members
of the committee and other officials
were engaged in the production or
transportation of iron ore or steel,
and would be thereby benefited by
the additional protection of the large
increase in the tonnage dues on YES
sells entering from certain countries.
Mr.. Penton said that view of the
matter had not occurred to him before
nor did he believe that the question
Of pecuniary or direct interest of any
kind had occurred to any OF the Of
ficials mentioned.
Attorney Ralston wanted to know
about the published reference in the
American Flag" the leagues organ,
to Representatives of the foreign
shipping combination, in and out Of
congress"
who do you mean by in con-
gress?'" Ralston demanded.
THAT applies to Representative
Steenerson." the witness replied. I'VE
felt from his attitude and his bitter
attack on the league that his mo-
tive was not worthy; that he was
interested in the other side of the
question.
Penton said the foreign interests
dominated the Merchants association
Of New York. and that the league
would prove that agents have been In
