ADMITS he KILLED
HIS s|sTER-|h.[AW
John Fox Makes Confession To
Sheriff After He Is Captured
At Oxford

FLINT, Mich, Feb. 3.-Sherin
Parkhurst says Frank Fox has con-
fessed that he killed his sister-in-law,
Miss Ella Blade, at her home early
yesterday morning. and attempted TO
kill Mrs. Catharine Talbot. another
sister-in-law. He has admitted every.
thing except the motive, the sherin
says.
Mrs. Talbot, in whose house the
shooting of Miss Blade occurred, says
that Fox came TO the house early yes
terday morning and. after they had
admitted him, he told them that MS
wife was dying at the station and he
wanted them to go and see her.
Mrs. Talbot returned TO her room,
she says. and within a few minutes
she heard a struggle in the Kitchen,
followed by a shot. She ran from the
house and her sister followed her,
with Fox in close pursuit, she alleges.
The fatal bullet was fired when her
sister was running through the yard
to escape. Ii was then that Fox turn
ed and fired at her MRS. TalbotD.
Jonathan Gordon, friend OF the two
women, advances the theory that Miss
Blades refusal to move 10 PittsDurg
and live with Fox was the motive be-
hind the shooting. Gordon says that
Miss Blade informed him that such
proposal had been made TO her by
Fox about ten days ago, at the close
OF A twoweeks' visit with his sisters
in-law.
The officers had little trouble In
capturing Fox. The trainmen on the
ID. U" r. had been given his descrip'
ton, and when he got on one or the
morning cars at Myers Crossing, a
few miles from here, he was recogniz
ed. When the car reached Oxford ne
was placed under arrest.

LANSING, Mich, Feb. S'-The
house OF representatives indicated
yesterday afternoon that It is about
TO come to some sensible attitude on
the question of visits OF committees

jockeying over the junket proposition
which has consumed much of the time
since the opening of the session.
Chairman Yeo OF the committee on
normal schools, introduced a resolu.
ton that in view OF the fact that
$730.000 had been asked by the varl'
GUS schools for buildings and i'm

Rep. Ogg. OF Detroit, then moved
that the resolution include all the
committees on all penal, lunacy and

annually in advertising the pro-

however, in publications of ma

In discussing this subject, Mr..

Henry johnson has evidently never
heard that old saw about ieadlng a
horse to water.
AT any rate, Henry is the sole pro-
prietor of a real live flesh and bones
replica of an equestrian statue, which
he keeps in a stable in Dingman place
northwest, and dignifies with the name
of Pepper, not because Of a spicy temper
and unruly ways, but on account of a
sprinkling of white on an otherwise coat
OF black. In fact. the only real sign
of life displayed by Pepper during the
last few years has been half-hearted
responses to Henry's whip. Even in his
younger days Pepper was not in the
2:40 class.
AS usual, Henry went to the stable
this morning to pay his respects to
Pepper and take him a measure Of oats
for breakfast. After the meal, there
being no water handy in the stable,
Henry led Pepper from the stable, or.
rather, pulled him, to a trough at First
and z streets northwest. Pepper was
not thirsty, however, and tried to make
the fact plain to Henry.
Within a few feet of the trough he
baked. Moreover, he folded his hind
legs and sat down. Henry tugged and
tugged at the bride. But 1t was no use.
Pepper was as stubborn as any Govern

Beauties of the West and Middle West
will be subjects of a lecture to be de-
livered by Adam Dixon Warner, lawyer,
author and orator, of Los Angeles, Cal,
at the Columbia Theater on Sunday
evening. The lecture, including stereop-
ticon views and moving pictures, will be
replica of that given last night before
a large audience in the ballroom of the
Willard Hotel.
Mr.. Warner makes as pleasing an
impression as any of the well-known
lecturers who have been in Washing
ton for several seasons. He combines
an attractive personality with a splen-
did collection of views and a forceful-
ness of explanation that seems to take
the audience through the distant West
ern lands. The trip included Yellow
stone Park, Grand Canyon, the Yo-
semitic Valley, Alaska, and six or eight
of the largest Pacific coast cities.

An International wedding.

Washington was the scene the other
day of a most brilliant international
wedding. 1t was thar of Countess
Louise Alexandra Won Bernstorff and
Count Raymond Pourtales. The beau
tiful little bride, who looked like a
Dresden doll in her wedding finery. is
the daughter of the German Embassa-
dor and his American wife, while
Count Pourtales was formerly MEM
ber of the embassy staff, but has just
been transferred to the Foreign Office
in Berlin. The ceremony was per-
formed at 4 o'clock in the afternoon at
Concordia Lutheran Church, in this
city. While the wedding guests were
largely comprised of the members of
the embassadorial and legation staffs
in Washington, the various uniforms
making it look like a very foreign af-
fair. the marriage ceremony was, after
all, rather more American than Ger
man. altho the bride and bridegroom
adhered to many OF the German Gus
toms.
There was a full choral service given
by a vested choir, which numbered 40
men and boys, and the music was par
ticularly effective. The vested choir
met the bridal party at the door of the
church, and preceded them to the
chancel. The floral decorations of the
church We're particularly beautiful.
Among tae guests of honor were
President and Mrs. Taft and Miss Taft
and the Vice President and Mrs. Sher-
man, who We're shown to their seats
just before the bridal party entered.
The bride was escorted by her father,
the German Embassador. She wore u
Paris bridal robe of white satin, with
train three Yards long. 1t was prin-
cess in style. and there was no hObble
nor harem about it, The vail of mag
nificent Brussels point was held to her
head with q wreath of myrtle. Her
bouquet was of lilies of the valley and
white orchids. Her one ornament was
a string of exquisite pearls, ii present

maids were Miss Alys Never, daughter
of the Secretary of the Navy; Miss Eli

and Miss Cecilia May. who will herself

of honor and no best man. The brides
maids were attired in very dainty pale
rink satin gowns, vailed in light blue
chiffon. and the dresses We're demi-
trained and untrimmed. Across the
front of the gowns were garlands of
tiny pink satin roses and buds with
green foliage, also in satin. They wore
hats OF pink and blue tuIle, with gar

slippers, hosiery and gloves were pink.
They all carried pink roses, and wore
