You want all-wool clothes az
THE high cost of wool;' the disorganized
dye-stufs market; the easy manipulation of {
cotton with wool in clothing fabrics; these may
make your clothes-buying matter of some

But we want you to know that our standards
of quality and our guarantee of satisfaction are
not changed when the market conditions CHANCE.
We use none but al-wool fabrics;
we guarantee the complete satisfac-

But the clothes are going to cost more than

TELLS STORY Of
MURDER TO JURY
Woman Who Killed Husband
Says Deed Was Result of
Years of GOading.
Internatlonnl News Service :

International News Service:
NEWARK, y. J., oct 26.-Their
eyes filled with wonder at the
suangeness of it all, five little chill
dren Of Mrs, Margaret c. Beutinger,
sat In court here today and heard
their mother tell why and how she
killed her husband, Christopher.
only once during the recital did
the woman break down.
3eutinger was shot at his home in
Caldwell. y. j., on the night Of July
II. The shooting, according to the
story told today, was the result of
years Of goading.
Immediately after their marriage
In jamaica, Mrs. Beutinger said her
husband revealed his true character.
he began to drink heavily and when
intoxicated beat and tormented her.
At that time he was quarterrnaster's
clerk in the United States army.
Mrs. Beutinger said she learned
her husband was making money
through graft and when she threat
ened 10 expose him he said ne would
kill her II she did so. For while
the couple lived In the Philippines
Later they went TO Atlanta, Ga.
Finally the army officials learned Of
Beutinger's IRREGULARITIES, the wom-
an said, but she went TO washington
and personally pleaded with the sec
rotary of war so that her husband
was allowed to resign instead Of be-
ing dismissed.
This sacrifice had a good effect.
but II was only temporary, Beut-
niger signed the pledge, but later
began to drink again. Love OF her
children was all that kept Her from
leaving her husband. Mrs. Beutinger
swore.

TICKET AGENT IS
ROBBED OF S1,040
A. N. frost of Lake Shore is
SIugged While on Way
to Express Office.

Owing 10 the quick action Of the
police and detective departments of
the city, il is thought that the man
who assaulted and robbed A. n.
frost, night ticket agent of the Lake
Shore station of S1.040.49 in re-
ceipts. while he was on his way TO
deposit the money at the station ex-
press Office at 12:45 o'clock Thurs
day morning. is still in the city or
in the near vicinity.
AS frost was turning the corner
of the station. and about to cross
the short intervening space between
the waiting room and the express
Office a few feet TO the west. a man
felled him with a sharp blow over
the head with a blackjack. The
man snatched the envelope contain
ing the money, from his hand and
just as frost was able TO raise his
head, was disappearing behind the
cars on the siding.
At once the police were notified
and they quickly proceeded 70
place a watch over all OF the out
hNAAAH II tAAAAN anu NulT AOuEn tic
description that they were able TO
get from the injured man was very
meager, It Is not thought possible
that any one could slip through the
close scrutiny of the detectives. The
special officers Of the Lake Shore
railroad are also assisting in the
search.
AS far as It IS possible TO learn at
the police headquarters. no clews
have been uncovered I'm the past
hours. Chief of Detectives Kuespert
declared that he had practically the
whole force of detectives working
on the case. II is expected that
there will be further developments
in a short time.
frost described the man as being
approximately five feet. eight or 10
inches in height. He wore n light
coat and a dark felt hat.
