Trenton, n. j., June 2.-The fifth
instalment of the sensational Bovine
Mott Manning Fuller serial, which, as
published from time to time in the
newspapers during the last year has
created worldwide interest, is shortly

PENDANT his pretty wife who Is now in

Mrs. Manning, so her husband aver
red, was deeply sympathetic also. One
evening, about month after Mrs.
Bovine and young Mott eloped, Man
ming discovered his wife and Bovine
in a secluded corner of a. New York
hotel dining room. Instantly there
was a fight. Bovine, badly whipped.

Bovine is said to have\been mentioned
as correspondent.
Now Bovine is about to secure his
divorce here. Mrs. Bovine has placed
no obstacles in his way. According
to the late news from Hongkong, she
is rather pleased to think that one
more obstacle to her final union with
young Mott has been removed.
| Bowne's future domestic plans are
unknown. It is quite certain, however
that his wife and young Mott will bt
married provided Mrs. Mott will ge

Private but reliable information as

that while he is without fever today
he is much weaker than at this time

each day. Even IL the bronchial af-
lection does not develop into actual
pneumonia, it is doubtful how long the
constitution of the patient can hold

CAUCUS WILL Be
HELD THURSDAY
BY REPUBLICANS
Prospect Of Lively Time
When Minority Members
Of House Meet to Plan for
the Extra Session.
[BY E. H. HANsoN.l

Washington, D. c., April 16.-Either
one of the hottest times In the history
of party caucuses or one of the most
peaceful is scheduled for Thursday
might when the republicans of the
house of representatives will caucus
as to their future action during the
special session.
The chief item of scheduled business
Is the question as to whether all re-
publican caucuses in the future shall
be thrown open to newspaper men and
the public in general.
An item which is not on the slate,
but which promises to precipitate one
Of the greatest ter-party fights in the
history Of the G.. O. p. is a resolution,
to be offered by Representative Rogers
Of Massachusetts, q new member, con.
demning the present system Of ap-
portioning delegates to the republican
national convention and calling upon
the national committee of the party to
call convention for sometime this
summer to revise the party's business
program.
The Scheme Of Cummins.
This is the scheme OF Senator Cum.
Minis of Iowa, and now there Is a merry
tussle going on between the progress
sive and reactionary wings Of the min
ority party in the house to line up the
various members either for or against
the Rogers resolution.
Representatives Good of Iowa, and
Lenroot of Wisconsin, are the most ac-
tive In support of Rogers, They will
have the help of Representative Mad
den OF Illinois, hitherto regarded as
one Of the greatest reactionaries In
the house.
The old guard, led by Represents
tive Mann Of Illinois, minority leader,
Payne of New York, co-author OF the
present tariff bill, and Gardner OF
Massachusetts, son-in-law of Senator
Lodge are doing everything within
their power to whip their men into line
80 as to muzzle the resolution without
q vote.
Regulars In Minority.
At their caucuses Friday night, the
republicans did their best to put the
democrats in the hole. They went
back, on every one Of their old reac-
tionary traditions and threw the meet
ing open to the news writer's and the
public. No less q person than Minor.
ity Leader Mann himself made the
motion.
A few minutes after 1t passed, how.
ever, Mann probably regretted 1t for
when Representative Gardner OF Mas.
sachusetts got up to outline the even
ing's slate Of business he found him
self opposed by Representatives Good
and Lenroot and before they knew
what had struck them, the reaction.
aries found the progressives In full
charge of the caucus. AS a result, they
fought their hardest to delay matters
and finally got an adjournment until
Thursday.
The senate foreign regulations com.
mittee acted favorably on the nomina,
tions Of Walter H. Page to be ambas.
sador to Great Britain and Dudley
Field Malone to be third assistant sec,
retary OF state. Confirmation is ex.
pected at the executive session Of the
senate Thursday.

ADJOURNMENT
OF LEGISLATURE
EXPECTED soon
Probable That Tomorrow
Will Witness End Of Ses-

Two Bills Killed.
[BY ORA WILLIAMs,]

Des Moines, April 16.-There are
signs OF the Legislature moving home.
ward. There is really some prospect or
possibility of the breaking up coming
up tomorrow. But II that happens
there Is going to be lot Of work left
undone.
For one thing, great many OF the
members are packing UP and sending
home their books and papers. The
fine days OF the week have caused 9
stir. Many are becoming nervous and
show signs Of desire to get back
among the home folks to talk 1t over.
The senate pulled the strings on its
adjournment resolution and let the
house have it, after the house had
passed it's own. If the house should
at once accept the senate resolution 1t
would Ak the time of adjournment at
noon tomorrow.
Last night the members Of The legis-
Ilature were the guests Of the CONNER
cial organizations Of the city OF Des
Moines and partook OF a banquet at
which many things were said indicat-
ing q general belief that the session
OF the 35th general assembly is near
an end.
The house is clearly behind In Its
work and the senate ahead. On last
Saturday and Monday the senate dis.
posed Of at least Is bills. and half OF
them were house bills. This is big
lot of work and great credit is due
President Harding for the manner IN
which he deliberately put the whip
tn the senate and crowded matters
along. The appropriation bills are
coming in now and receiving con-
sideration. The tax reform matter
was put to sleep. The utilities bill Is
vet to be considered. There probably
will be no consideration OF any bill to
lincrease the available revenues for
permanent road building or to permit
communities that desire to engage IN
road building on extensive scale to do
40. Thus it will be seen that all signs
noint to an approach to the end OF the
session.

Diet SLAYER
HAS CONFESSED
TO THE POLICE [:
Murderer Of the Chicago
Woman's Tailor Secreted
in Jail; Others Implicated
in the Crime.

Chicago, April 16-That at least
two persons other than the man now
under arrest and who early today
confessed to the police and Coroner
Hoffman his part in the murder of
George pietz, the wealthy woman's
taller and milliner, in his home at
1873 Aldine avenue early Monday,
were implicated in the crime, was the
conclusion drawn from remarks OF
first deputy superintendent Of police,
Schuettler.
Police Maintain Secrecy.
The police officials held firmly to
secrecy regarding the identity Of the
man arrested and would tell no word
of his confession. He refused even
to give any hint of where or by whom
the suspect was arrested.
Asked why he would give out no
information regarding the prisoner,
Schuettler said there were others to
be questioned. He would not tell who
or how many he intended to interro-
gate but said there were more than
one man.
From the description Of the man
who confessed. 1t is believed he Is
Swedish. This fact would not be ad-
mitted either by Schuettler or the
coroner, but the mans dialect and
features appeared to plainly indicate
his nationality.
Letter Believed Hoax.
Other bits of information regard
ing the case seemed to indicate that
the police have concluded that the
1-Ak 10 ho,, writ !,
which the fatal blow was struck, was
hoax intended to misguide the
police in their investigations, though
It is still believed the death of Edna
Ruth Frederickson, caused by an
illegal operation, has an important
bearing on the case.
The deputy chief would neither
affirm nor deny that the prisoner is
a relative Of the dead girl. nor would
he deny that 1t is the belief that the
crime was committed in revenge.
Z Both the coroner and police official
hinted that today might bring out the
whole story of the crime.
After being questioned for several
hours the prisoner was transferred
secretely to police station near the
scene Of the crime and the lieutenant
in charge there was given orders to
allow no person to communicate with
him.
Police Deny Confession.
Later Schuettler denied that con-
fession had been made by the man
held in custody II am satisfied he
had no part in the crime" said Schuet-
tier. There were certain circum-
stances at the time of his arrest which
warranted his examination. He told
satisfactory stories"
