Chicago MURDER MYSTERY
FIANCE OF EDNA MAY FREOER.
ICkSON UNDER EXAMINATION.
Another Theory is That the Wealthy
Tailor Was Victim Of Hired
Assassin.

Chicago; April 16.-George Ringler.
Jr.. fiance of Edna May Frederickson,
whose death the police are attempting
to link with the mysterious murder
of George DietZ, wealthy tailor, was
arrested early today as he stepped
from the steamer Carolina from Mil
waukee. Ringler was taken to the
detectives headquarters and examin-
ed by men working on the case He
protested that he did not know DietZ
and never heard the Frederickson girl
speak of him and that he first heard
of the murder yesterday morning
when a steward on the Carolina told
him of 1t. Ringers arrest tended to
disprove the report that man arrest
ed last night by private detectives
confessed early today that he was
the murderer of Dietz. The police to.
day refused to either deny or confirm
the story that the murderer of the
tailor was under arrest and had con.
fessed.
George Dietz was the victim of a
hired assassin, according TO theories
advanced by crime specialists of the
Chicago police department after the
second days investigation of the
murder of the aged merchant Monday.
One theory of the murder which is
being investigated with the utmost
secrecy is said to involve close friends
of the deCedent 1t discredits the
death note and calls the newspaper
clippings found in Dietz's clothes a
plant" made by the slayer to divert
suspicion. The fiat and its occupants
are under constant espionage, while
detectives are making Investigations
along certain avenues.

Botoh Branches Of the Legislature
Pass the kuIp Bill, Which Calls
for Amendment Allowing Ini-
tiativc and Referendum.

Des Moines, April 16-The McHose
fusion bill. devised to allow a repub-
lican to run on the regular and bull
against a democrat, was overwhelm-
ingly defeated In the House, muster
Ing but 81 votes, against II negative.

An effort was made by Power. of
Fairfield, to amend the bill by pro-
fiding candidates name could be
written in another ticket and counted,
with hope of saving the bill in an.
other form. This was defeated. Then
motion was made to re-refer the
bin to the sitting committee. But the
democrats determined to kill the
measure in the open and they voted
against preference. The bill was
then slaughtered on the floor of the
house and with it, it is claimed, much
of Snator Cummins' chance for cleo
ton to the senate to succeed himself
under the popular election for there
will probably be a bull moose candi-
date to divide the republican votes,
and the democrats will win. At least
this is the way the democrats figure
the situation.
One of the sensations of the debate
was the opposition to the McHose
bill by Representative Jacobs, who
has been considered by some as in
line with the insurgents. He has,
however. shown conservative dispo-
sition and opposed the measure, he
said. because he believed it wrong in
principle.
Rumor Is persistent today that
Judge Withrow, of Mt. Pleasant, first
district, Is going to receive the ap-
pointment as the new member of the

Nine full barrels of wine were talk cn in a raid by the police last eve ming of an alleged blind pig" at Seventh and Cleveland streets. The cargo" was more than the patrol wagon could negotiate and it was necessary to call into service one of the big auto trucks of the Lightning Delivery to bring up the booty to the city hall.
 Incident to the raid, Mark Berni- dino and A NJ. Bcrnidno were ar rested and locked up in the city jail pending an investigation of the charge that one of them disposed of one gallon of wine to q Mexican. receiving therefor exactly sixty five cents Both prisoners will probably be arraigncd in police court this afternoon. Nor is 1t likely that their appearance in the police court will complete their prosecution for if they are guilty of the violation of q city ordinance they are surely guilty of violating the state and federal laws with regard to selling liquor without a license.
 Reports had been coming to the police station for sometime that li- quor was being sold on the prem i>es. It was stated that there Was b IdfSt quantity tI lltIuoI stored Tn the cellars of the establishment, which had once formed part of the stock of the old RedIight Saloon. out ot business several years ago.
 Last night a Mexican was seen to enter the place from the rear He was carrying a two gallon jug When he emerged. the jug was half full of wine He was taken to hto police station and later admitted that he had purchased gallon or wine from ono of the Benidinos for sixty-five cents. The raid followed the infor-
 nation given by the man.
