New York, April "A side issue of
the main crime today occupied the at
tention of members of the district at

Peck murder case. DR.. Arthur Warren
Waite has revealed almost every de-
tail of how he planned to murder his
father-in-laW and his mother-i law,
Mrs. Peck, and last night he admitted,
according to his attorney that he in
tended also to kill his wife to remove
the last obstacle between him and the
Peck fortune.
Eugene o. Kane, the embalmer, I'M
derwent another examination today.
Hitherto he had not explained why,
when he surrendered to the authori-

tectives said that the telegram signed

suspicious of the Peck family in Grand
Rapids has an important bearing upon
this mystery.
A description Of the man who sent
this telegram has been obtained and it
was said that another arrest might fol-

HOLLAND WHEAT
RESERVES USED
Dutch Governments Stores OF Grain
Practically Observation-Disclosures
to Supply Huge Quantities.

The Hague, April 3, (via London,
11:05 a. m.)-Holland's reserves OF
wheat are practically exhausted and
the Associated Press is informed on
the very highest authority that the
government intends to buy 100000 tons
in America in addition to the normal
$4,000 monthly, in order to form the
needed reserve. Several Dutch ships
have been requisitioned under the new
ship law to bring these supplies from
America. The disappearance of the
reserve is due to the failure of the
Holland-America and other steamship
companies to fulfill completely their
contract to transport $4,000 tons Of
wheat and -four and $4,000 tons of corn
from North and South America, owing
to the delay caused by war incidents.
A hundred thousand tons of corn is
also needed every month but only TO-
900 is now received.
