FOR Wife MURDER
F. T. Price on Trial Charged
With Pushing Her OFF Cliff.
Star Witness Claims He Got
$4,000 as an Accomplish.

Minneapolis, Jan. frederick T.
Price. a local business man, will be
placed on trial in district court here
tomorrow for the alleged murder of
his wife, Mary Fridley Price, mem
Der of a wealthy pioneer family of
Minnesota. 1t is charged that Price
pushed his wife over an embankment
on the East river automobile road on
the night of November %, 1914, with
view to inheriting a goodly sum of
money given to the woman by her
father
The chief witness for the state will
be Charles D. Etchison, travelling
salesman of Washington, D. c., in
dicted Jointly with Price on a charge
of first degree murder and who, after
his arrest in Washington and while
en- route to Minneapolis, signed con-
fession in which he said he accom-
panied Price to the scene of the al
legged crime. He further charged that
Price had planned to rid himself of
his wife several months before her
DEATH and said that while he (Etchi-
SOM first refused to have a hand in
the alleged crime, he finally consent
ed to make the trip to the River road
cliff, for which it was understood that
Price was to cancel a note of about
1900 and in addition give EtchiSon
So, 500 in cash.
Etchison is expected to repeat his
story at the trial.
Keen interest has been manifest
in the case. Mrs. Price had a wide
circle of friends. She married Price
against the wishes of her family.
Not satisfied with story told by
Price and Etchison that Mrs. Price
had fallen over the embankment
while trying to rescue her pet dog,
David H. Fridley, her father, after
whom the town of Fridley, Mimi, was
named, placed the case in the hands
of a private detective agency. An in

HE SPOKE RIGHT UP
Norman Hackett Gives His
Ideas on SorOrities.
Well Known Actor in Topeka
Favors Girl Regulation.

Regulation and not determination is
the proper method of dealing with high
school fraternities and sororities, be-
lieves Norman Hackett, the well
known actor, who appeared in kick
In" at the Grand last night. Mr.. Hack
EFT is a University of Michigan man
and is a member of a college fratern-
ity, the Theta Delta Chi. as well as a
high school one, the lambda Sigma.
In talking to a reporter this morn
ing Mr.. Hackett said, 81 have been
greatly interested in reading of the re-
cent trial in Topeka over the secret
society matter in your high school. 1t
is indeed regrettable that it should be
found necessary to carry such an issue
into the courts.
81 have been a close student of the
fraternity question for years and am
convinced that the societies are
capable of doing great good if kept
under proper school discipline. Reg
ulation and not determination should
be the way to handle them. Several
states have passed laws against them
in high schools but the organizations
go on just the same, which is bad. as
it promotes deception. 1 do not con-
slider fraternities an enemy to the
democracy of the high schools, be-
cause companionship is.the oldest law
of mankind. Every boy and girl is
bound to choose a dozen or more con-
genial friends and pal with them. 1t
is not to be expected that a boy or girl
will associate with a thousand or more
other students. Abolish fraternities
and the students will divide into
groups just the same.
why, then, is it not better to let
them have organization and ideals to
strengthen their friendships? 1 be-
lieve in having a teacher elected to
each society. then that teacher can as
sure the principal that the society is
all right. The members should all be
compelled to submit to certain regula-
tons set down by the superintendent
and principal, but to try and put the
societies out only fosters deception
They are thriving just the same all
over the country. They will continue
to do so despite legislation, because nc
law can prevent a boy from choosing
his own limited circle of friends. 1t
is a pity the faculties can't realize this
and treat the matter as a part OF
school discipline. because the abolish
| ing method has certainly not succeed
ed. The members of state legislatures
might do well to investigate such cases
as the one which has attracted atten-
| tion in TODek3 -
