INSURGENTS WIN
IN NATIONAL GRANGE

Spokane, November 22.-The "insur-
gent" faction in the National Grange
today lost their fight against the hnan-
cial report of the exeeutiM committee
without ever having chance to test
their strength by vote. National
Master Wilson held that the report
could be attacked only through the
auditing committee. The report of the
auditing committee approving the ex-
ecutive committee report was adopted.
The insurgents" however, obtained
two victories when the executive COM
mittee was ordered in future to prefix
exact dates to all items and when It
was determined that at future meetings
the executive committee report would
be acted upon directly instead of
through the auditing committee.

PRINCE ADMITS
KILLING BENTLEY
Following Confession Two
Men Held as Accom-
plices Released

Warsaw, N. Y, November 22.-In a
sworn statement-made to the district
attorney here this afternoon, Althos
Prince admitted that he murdered his
neighbor, Frank Bentley in the woods
near North Java Saturday afternoon
and attempted to destroy evidence of
his crime by hurying the body Jeal-
ousy over Bentley's friendship with his
wife. Prince said, was the cause.
The confession does not give all the
details of the shooting, but says Prince
shot Bentley twice. He then walked
about five miles to Java Lake, where
he hid Bentleys shotgun. 1t was
found there today. Later on Saturday
night, Prince states, he returned to the
woods with a wheelbarrow and trun-
died the body to the place where it was
found. He dug a shallow grave and
built fire over the body. Fear of at
tracing attention caused him to give
up the idea of destroying the body and
he covered it with EARTH
Prince denies that he dismembered
the body.
Following Princes confession, Sheriff
Bauer ordered the release of the two
Weber boys, Mrs. Princes brothers,
who were taken into custody yester-
day
