Tabloids of Politics
Grist of Little Items About
the Progress Of the Campaign

A letter from the Seward county re-
publican chairman Of the central COM
mittee brings information that Ger
man member of the democratic conf
mittee of the same county nearly
caused riot when at recent meeting
of his committee he was frank enough
to tell his fellow democrats that the
German farmers of Seward county in
tended to vote TO rHughes. The chair
man gagged the laxative member and
told him it was bad enough to think
that such situation could be tr E,
but it was worse politics tc talk right
out in meeting and made such state
ments to go out to the world.
T. ]. Mcclure has returned from
Archer, Neb., where he made an ad-
dress to gathering of farmers. Il
don't want to be charged with being
over.enthusiastic, but evidences of
Hughes popularity in the rural Sec
tons of this state are plentiful. ] OBJ
served this sentiment in conversation
and also at the meeting | addressed"
Henry J. Allen, editor and orator Of
Wichita, Kan, will arrive Monday d.
rect from his home town. At the South
Side station he will be met by Henry
c. Murphy, P. J. Martin, Wesley Ad-
kins. Guy Kiddoo and Joseph Kout-
sky. During the noon hour he will
address the packing house men on the
west side of the O street viaduct, fol-
lowing which he will speak In the Ex-
change building. South Siders are
promised something more than a po-
litical talk from Mr.. Allen, who is a
man Of wide observations and learn
ing.
James Walsh of Benson and Oma-
ha has returned from summers out
ing in Washington state and Alaska.
Il read that Hughes was to speak in
the auditorium at Seattle, so /
stopped fishing long enough to 60
down to the big city. Outside Of the
auditorium were 10000 people who
could not get inside. Mr.. Hughes ad-
dressed this great overflow meeting.
| was impressed by the force and sim
certify of Mr.. Hughes. He wins all
who hear him make an address. He
made a favorable impression all
through the state Of Washington"
stated Mr.. Walsh, who added that he
has no patience with unfounded po-
litical statements, but he is ready to
bet money, marbles or chalk on
Charles E. Hughes.

THREE SHIPS SUNK IN BIG
AIR RAID BY THE BRITISH
Flyers Drop Bombs in Schleswig-
Holstien-Aviators Are Aided
by the Fleet.

London, March 28-Dispatches from
Esbjerg, Denmark, to the Berlingske
Tidende, says Reuters Copenhagen
correspondent, report that Tondern, in
Schleswig- Holstein, has been bombed
by five aeroplanes.
Three OF the British aeroplanes
which took part in the raid on the
German airship sheds are missing.
Two German patrol vessels were sunk
and a British destroyer is believed to
have been lost.
A dispatch to the Exchange Tele-
graph company from Copenhagen says
the two German vessels which were
sunk were named Braunschweig and
Otto Rudolf.
The following official statement was
issued here:
AN attack by British seaplanes was
delivered upon German airship sheds
in Schleswig- Holstein, eastward of the
island of Sylt The seaplanes were
conveyed to their rendezvous close to
the German coast by an escorting
force of light cruisers and destroyers
under Commodore Tyrwhitt.
Three of the aeroplanes which took
part in the attack are missing. The
destroyer Medusa was in collision
with the destroyer Laverock, and it
is feared that in the stormy weather
which prevailed the Medusa may have
been lost, but no misgivings are felt
as to safety of the crew.
Two German armed patrol vessels
were sunk by our destroyers.
mo detailed report has yet been
received, but from Danish press mes
sages it would appear that this oper-
alton, which was carried out within
the enemy's water, achieved it's OBJ
ject."
Berlin (by wireless), March 28.-
The official report says:
From two ships, which were &C.
companied by cruiser squadron and
fotilla of destroyers, five English
hydroaeroplanes started for an attack
against the German aeronautic estab-
lishments in Northern Schleswig
Not less than three of them, among
which was a fighting aeroplane, were
forced down by the defensive service
on and about the Island of Sylt The
inmates Of the machines, who were
made prisoners, are four English off,

WAITE ADMITS HE
KILLED THE PECKs
Dentist Killed Couple With Germs
and Poison.
RAVES OF JEKYLL HYDE
"The Man From Egypt Made Me Do
It," He Told Prosecutor-"l
Couldn't Get Away From
Him."

New York, March 30.-Dr Arthur
that he killed his mother-in-law, Mrs.
Hannah Peck, with disease germs and
murdered his father-in-law, John E..
Peck, with arsenic.
In making the confession he laid the
groundwork for his defense on the
plea Of mental responsibility. He
attributed two natures to himself-a
good and an evil one-and said that
the evil nature, stranger to his real
self, dominated him when he COM
mitted the crimes.
The essential part of the dentists
confession was made to District Attor-
ney Swami and Assistant District At
torneys Mancusco and Brothers in the
presence of former Assistant Attorney
Walter R. Deuel., who has been en-
gagged as counsel for Doctor Waite.
The lawyers walked into the private
room of the alcoholic ward, to which
Doctor Waite had been removed, and
found the man lying on bed rubbing
his hand across his forehead, seeming
ly in shaken and uncertain condition.
Don't you remember me-" asked
Mr. Brothers. You talked to me last
Friday"
Did II" asked Doctor Waite. There
was moments pause before Doctor
Waite spoke again.
ooh, but that doesn't matter" he
said; its all over now. l did it all.
l killed Mrs. Peck and Mr.. Peck. The
man from Egypt made me do it. He
was after me for long time. | couldn't

He's gone now, but l couldn't get
away from him for a long time.

was afraid of him. l told Clara about
him"
By Clara" Doctor Waite meant his
wife, who now is in Grand Rapids.
Representatives of the district at
torney's office are searching for the
undertaken who embalnled the body Of
Peck. Mr.. Swami declared Waite had
told him that he had made an agree
ment with the undertaken that for
consideration of $4,000 the latter
would testify that he had used arsenic
in the fluid with which he embalmed
Peck's body.
Earlier in the day Doctor Waite
talked freely to his brother and Ray
mond c. SCHNEIDER, the private detec-
tive employed by the Peck family.
He described himself as persona
fication of Doctor Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde,
saying that for many years he had
struggled with good nature against
an evil personality that many times
dominated him and drove him to acts
of which his better self, the self
known in tennis clubs and to his
friends, was utterly abhorrent.

FAIR SEX IN TIE MAJORITY
Preachers Offer to Marry Persons
Brought an Altogether Unlocked
For Response.

Some of the visiting ministers have
told some good stories about one an
other during the Laymen's Missionary
Movement convention here, says the
San Diego Union. This is one that
was handed" to Rev Hugh L. BuTle-
son:
A young couple came into his rooms
just as he was going to begin service
in the church and asked him to marry
them. He said if they would wait until
after the service he would give them
public wedding.
After the benediction he announced:
Nov. will those persons wishing to
be married please come forward" 1t
is recorded in the story that eleven
women and one man answered to the
CALL
An offset to that story is one told by
DR.. AlonZZo r. Petty of woman who
was before a judge asking for di-
vorce. The judge leaned over the desk
and said to the woman:
Madam, how long did you know
this man before you were married?
Your honor" she said, Il was ac-
quainted with him for eighteen
months, but l never really knew him
until asked him for dollar.

FRENCH STEAMER ATTACKED
BY GERMAN SUBMARINES
One American and 81 Other Persons
Perish When the Sussex Is
Torpedoed.

London March 27.-Nmety-seven
persons, including one American WON
an, ere missing as a result of the
blowing up of the channel liner Sus-
sex off the French coast on Friday, ac-
cording to revised official lists issued
in both London and Paris.
The missing woman is Mrs. c. A.
Fennell of New York
More than half dozen of the Amer
lean survivors have sworn to afidavits
at the United States embassy declar-
ing their belief that the ship was tor
pedoed by a submarine.
Fears for the safety of Professor
and Mrs Baldwin and their daughter,
Miss Elizabeth, were set at rest by a
telegram from BOulogne stating that
all had been landed on the French
coast.
Erroneous reports were circulated
in the confusion on Saturday that
Elizabeth Baldwin had died from her
injuries. Miss Baldwin was wounded,
but is in no danger of death, the Bou-
logne dispatch stated.
Miss Gertrude Barnes of New York
is also safe. She had been listed as
missing on Saturday.
London, March 27-Sinking of the
British liner Minneapolis in the Med
iterranean by submarine has been
confirmed. A late dispatch states, how
ever, that all on board the vessel were
saved with the exception of eleven
men who were killed by the explosion
that shattered the steamers hull
Earlier reports had indicated that all
on board were lost
The Minneapolis was used by the
British government as transport and
it is reported that it was destroyed
near the spot where the French auxil-
larry cruiser La Provence was torpe-
decd.

mendations to the imperial chancellor,
Won Bethmann-Hollweg.
Chairman Stone of the foreign rela-
lions committee said, after seeing
President Wilson, that all facts would
be awaited before action was taken
and that in their absence he refused to
express an opinion.
