COL. BUFFERS WIFE
TO RECEIVE PENSION
Officer Making Investigation
Reports He Had Right To
Be with Mrs. SPANIEL

San Antonio, Texas, July 27-The
widow of Lieut.. Col. NJ. G. Butler slain
by Harry SPANIEL, hotel proprietor,
in Alpine last week, VIII receive n
pension. The official report OF Col.
j. A. CASTOR, commander in that dis
trict, clears Butler S name and assigns
unreasonable jealousy as Spaniel S
motive in shooting his wife and But
Ter. According to the army code, the
fact that Butler had a "moral right"
to be with Mrs. SPANIEL shows he
died Sin the line Of duty watch
must be proven if a soldier s widow is
entitled 90 a pension.
According to Castor s report, Span
nell had an argument with Butler n
bout Mrs. SPANIEL prior to the shoot
ing, after which Butler avoided Mrs.
Spanneli as much as possible. Earlier
in the day OF the shooting, Butler and
SPANIEL. with their wives, called on
a mutual friend who was i'll. Upon re-
turning to the Holland hotel, of which
SPANIEL is proprietor, the two wom-
EN- went Butler Is rooms. Mrs. Butler
left tne room for moment and Span
nell, entering, upbraided his wife for
being alone in Butler S rooms Mrs.
Butler returned, ending the argument.
This was said by CASTOR to have been
the immediate cause of the shooting.
Soon after SPANIEL took his wife and
Butler for an automobile ride and shot
them both. He gave himself up and
is now in the county Jail at III Paso.

First Political Lie

New York, July 27.--"' Such talk is
treason, said Vance Mccormick X
chairman of the national democratic
committee today in discussing charges
that President Wilson had decided to
keep the national guardsmen ON the
Mexican border until after the election
because he feared lie had incurred tae
enmitv of the militiamen.
=" National guardsmen are loyal pa
triots," said Mccormick "Taey join

all good soldiers. There may be few
grumblers among them, but they are
Inspired by political purposes by out
siders.
"President Wilson sent the national
guard to the border for protection, ev-
cry one knows that, and to infer he
sent them for political reasons or will
keep them there for any other reason
than protection, is rot. Such talk is
treason

Market Very Quiet
Prices Somewhat Lower

New York, July 27.-The New York
Evening Suns financial review today
said:
Operations in today's stock market
were light in all parts of the list with
the general tendency of prices in the di.
rectiOn of lower levels. The more i'm.
portant interests took no part in the
speculation while there was no indica-
tion of outside participation, except to
a slight extent in some of the high class
issues in which investment buying was
reported.
AT times in the afternoon trading
came almost to standstill, even active
efforts by professionals against the
poorest variety of stocks failing to ex-
cite any interest in the market. And
efforts to bring about stock rise in the
rails failed to create anything more
than passing attention, although they
carried prices lower.
The small offerings of these issues
were quickly absorbed by representa-.
tives of big houses, especially in the
case of Reading and Union Pacific.
Steel common in the late trading got
back to its closing of Wednesday.

Baltimore, Nd, July 81. Either
alarming information or good news Of
the submarine Bremen kept the Ger
man wonder boat Deutschland in port
today. Which it was, the managers of
the undersea venture refused to say.
Orders for the vessel to 90 out over
night were suddenly countermanded.
lnasmuch as news of the Bremen
was the determining factor in the mat
ter OF the Deutschland sailing, it was
accepted as true that at last the
Deutschland's sister ship had been
heard from.
Perhaps, it was said, the Bremen
had met with mishap and that the
Deutschland would not make an at
tempt to run the allied blockade. On
the other hand it was suggested cheer
full information determined the manag-
ers to wait little on che Bremen's
coming.
The tug Timmins has extra coal
aboard prepared either for run out
beyond the three mil line at the capes,
or to intern for time in cove down
Chesapeake bay.
One theory was that the Deutschland
had been found defective and hence
could not quit port. But during the
forenoon, the Deutschland submerged
anew and as far as observers could
learn, this was satisfactory.

They Want Thomas Mooney.

San Francisco, Cal, July 21.-With
one bomb suspect under arrest and Mrs.
Belle LAWN detained for examination,
the police today sent requests all over
the country for the detention of Thomas
Mooney, who, they believe, may give
them further information regarding the
bomb outrage here which has already
cost nine lives.
Such close secrecy has been maintain
ed regarding the activities of the spe-
cial bomb squad of the department,
that the police will not even admit
that Warren X. Billings is under ar.
rest, although from other sources it is
known that he is. Billings, who has
served q term in Folsom prison for ear
rying dynamite on passenger train,
was taken into custody at Lane hospital
when he appeared at the free clinic
there for treatment. No newspaper
men have been permitted to see him and
n sweating" which was begun yester-
day, continued today.
Immediately after Billings arrest, po-
lice hurried to the lodging house of Mrs.
Belle LAWN, where Billings roomed,
searched his room and took Mrs. LAWN
into custody. This was the house at
which Mathew A. Schmidt and James b.

1t is not known whether he has informa-

Captain Duncan Matheson, head of
the bomb squad, declares that so far
there have been no confessions, but
there is strong belief among at

police have some definite information
from reliable source and are not by
any means working in the dark.
"All our Information indicates that
this crime was but one of series of

"The plot will be shown to be very
