STRIKERS ASSAULT
INNOCENT PEOPLE
TEXTILE WORKERS BEAT cccu-
\ PANTS OF STREET CARS eE
LlEvlNG THEM "ScARS."

Lawrence, Mass, Jan. 29.-Serious
rioting occurred today when a crowd
of strikers attempted to prevent oper-
atives from entering the various tex
tile mills to resume work. In many
cases the strikers were successful and
the mills that reopened were able to
operate only on a greatly reduced
scale. Several persons were seriously
injured during the trouble.
The rioters held up some 20 or
more electric cars headed in the di-
rection of the mills, forced the pas
sengers to leave the cars and then
assaulted them in the belief that they
were strike-breakers. Bottles and
Jumps of ice were thrown in the car
windows.
The rioting began an hour before
the time for the opening of the mill
gates. The mob was composed mostly
of foreigners and many were women,
who cheered the men on to violence.
The police were powerless to end the
disorders. Entrance to the mill dis
trict by the marchers was prevented
by the militia stationed in streets
bordering the mills.
Several arrests were made. Taras
Parnagian, an Armenian, was taken
to the police station, charged with as
saulting City Marshar O'Sullivan. The
other arrests were on charges of in
timidation, rioting or carrying danger
GUS weapons.

HAD BETRAYED YOUNG GIRL
LuRED RUTH WHEELER TO HIS
APARTMENT, RAvIsHED HER
AND THEN KILLED HER
HE DIED. INSTANTANEOUSLY
ELECTRIC CURRENT SNUFFs OUT
HIS LIFE AT THE FIRST
APPLICATION

Ossining, N. Y, Jan. 29.-Albert
Wolter was put to death in the cleo
trio chair at Sing Sing prison at 5:41
O'Clock this morning for the murder
of 15-year-old Ruth Wheeler nearly
two years ago. The girl came to VOL
ter's flat in New York in search OF
employment and he killed her after
she had been mistreated. Wolter left
a statement with Warden Kennedy
denying that he had committed the
crime.
The execution was without feature
and Wolter was declared dead after
one contact of 1860 volts. The state
electrician said that Wolter showed
less resistance to the electric current
than any murderer put to death by
electricity at Sing Sing prison.
The murderer spent his last night
quietly, resting only part Of the time.
At o'clock this morning Welter wrats-
his denial Of the killing. The state
ment reads in part:
''The world refused me Justice but
Our Father in Heaven, who knows our
innermost thought, He will give me
pure and undefiled justice. l wish
to state I am innocent of the crime
I was convicted of. / have been a
victim Of circumstantial evidence.
hope there may come a time when
the conscience of the perperator will
overpower him and will compel him
70 come to the front and acknowledge
he crime. To those who have given
ne their kind assistance l give my
'incerest thanks. To those who have
prosecuted and killed me,
or them pray Gods forgiveness.
'(Signed) ALBERT WOLTER."
Although Wolter was convicted on
'ircumstantial evidence, the court of
reviewing the case after a
series of legal delays, declared he was
airly tried and justly convicted.
Ruth Wheeler met her death on
March "a, 1910 in VOTERS apartment
IN the fourth floor of house on East
seventy-fifth street, New York City.
where she had gone to seek employ
nent as a stenographer. Her charred
body was discovered subsequently.
The evidence indicated that the girl
lad come to her death by strangula-
ion and burning after having been
'avished. The body had been thrust
nto fireplace where it was partly
,urned and concealed until it became
to remove it in a bag to
he fire escape from which it was
brown on to the ground below.
Wolter admitted that he wrote the
,ostal card which led Ruth Wheeler
0 visit his apartments and in book
,ept by him was found an entry Of
Ier name and address. Wolter sought
0 account for the entry by saying be
Vrote it there at the dictation OF
Fred Ahner" who was desirous Of
tarting a school of shorthand and told
i'm he was going to engage Ruth
Wheeler. No one could be found to
estify to the existence of Ahner.
Wolter was sentenced to be electro
uted on June 16, 1910, but the exc
ution was stayed by an appeal. AL
hough the law allows but six months
j which to argue an appeal. the case

M|SSOULA COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL
Announces NEW COURSE Of STUDY

The six courses of study for the To-
cal high school herewith published
represent an attempt TO adjust the
high school curriculum more nearly to
the needs of the pupils who attend
high school. The chief function of the
high school s no longer to be regard
cd as preparation for college. The
mere representation of a considerable
variety of courses does not, however
solve the problem. There still remains
the extremely difficult question of the
best course for any particular boy oil
girl to pursue. Parents are urged to
give careful study to the courses out
lined and to discuss them with their
children. The best course for any boy
or girl is the course most suited to his
ability, character. aptitude and plans
for the future.
A very few general statements IN
explanation of the courses will sut-
flee.
The classical course is intended to
meet the entrance requirements of ms
many standard colleges and univcrsi-
ties as possible. inasmuch as these
requirements vary greatly college
preparatory students are urged TO de-
termne as early as possible in their
course what college they wish to en-
ter. Variations will then he allowed
from the outlined course and entrance
difficulties will be avoided,
The scientific course is intended tc
prepare for admission to the engineer
ing departments of universities or te
the best schools of technology.
The English course is planned foI
those students who desire a good gem
cral training but who do not expect

course arc sufficiently understood
