cities and villages where exchanges
are located $146, 1854 A check for
the payment of the states share was
received by State Treasurer Johnson
and payments to the towns, cities and
villages are made directly to them.
Milwaukee's share in the distribu-
ton is greatest, being $7O,O64O8. Mad
ison is next with $7,169.60. Next
comes Racine with $5,672.50 Others

GIRL ADMITS MURDER
WIFE OF SENATOR'S NEPHEW AL
LEGGED TO HAVE CONFESSED.
Police Claim Mrs. Katherine v. Har-
rison of Texas Says She Killed
Man Who Wronged.

Fort Worth, Tex, Feb. 28.-Mrs.
Katherine Vance Harrison, fifteen
year-old bride of Charles Harrison,
nephew of United States Senator
Charles Culberson of Texas, was re-
leased with her husband after they
had given $4,000 bail each to answer
charges of murder filed against them.
The police said Mrs. Harrison had
confessed that she shot and killed
w. r. Warren, a hotel proprietor,
claiming that he had wronged her be-
fore her marriage.
Warren's body was found, riddled
with bullets, at the side of country
road near here, December %. There
were few clues to the identity of his
slayer.
On Saturday an arrest was made in
the case and much excitement en-
sued, which was succeeded by the
greater sensation caused by the po-
lice announcement that Mrs. Harrison,
to clear the suspected man, had ad-
mitted in a signed statement that she
was responsible for Warren's death
She invited Warren into her auto
mobile, introduced him to her hus-
band, and drove into the country, the
police statement said. At an isolated
spot she asked Warren to get out and
see if tire was fiat. When he walked
around the car she shot him, accord
ing to the alleged confession.
