She Says.

waukesha, Wis, June 25-Miss Grace

n killed Mrs. David Roberts, wife OF a
former state official, with whom she
professed to be in love, has been served
with a warrant charging her with muir
der in the first degree. The warrant
was res to her in the hospital where
her life still hangs in the balance from a
bullet wound she inflicted on herselr
after standing off the police for half an
hour.
Despite her protestations of lasting
love for DR.. Roberts. Miss Lusk 1ndl.
Gated bitterness when she was placed
under formal arrest. "Oh, God" she
called, Are they going to take me and
let him go free?"
Later Miss Lusk's condition too a
turn for the worse.
A pathetic incident occurred When
DIR. A. p. Lusk, father of he accused
slayer, visited her in the hospital This
afternoon. 1t was a short meeting ana
both were sobbing.
In a broken voice DR.. Lusk asked:
"You poor girl; why did you do it?"
IF o only knew, father, the life !
have lived. 1t was terrible and ! know
God will forgive me-" she replied.
A letter that Miss Lusk dictated TO
DR.. r. E. Davis while she held him n
others at bay at the foot of the STAIR

1t was addressed to Miss WlnlIred
Frye, 526 East Arrillago street, Santa

"Oh, he has the maudlin and common
sentiment that characterizes only the

matched mine; that his conception OF
ideals was pure and his intellectually

GERMAN TELLS WHY
WORLD HATES TEUTONS
Says Kaiser Wants Peace With
out Indemnities, But Fears
to Say So.

Amsterdam, June 25.-According to
the Berlin Vorwaerts, a copy of which
has been received here. Wolfgang
Heine, member of the %reichstag, address
sing a social democratic meeting in
Berlin, spoke strongly in favor of peace
without annexation or indemnities.
Herr Heine declared that the govern
ment long g should have stated pub
licly what it said c~onfidentially to DR..
Arthur Hoffman, the former member OF
the Swiss federal council, who en-
deavored to open peace negotiations be-
tween Russia and Germany.
1t failed to do so, Herr Heine con-
tinued, because Wilhelmstrasse was
afraid Of the kreuz Zeitung, the Reichs-
bote and the Tages Zeitung, and be-
cause Prussian tradition attached vast
ly more importance to the words Of the
generals than to those Of other people.
"But since the belligerent govern
ments are now so involved in the cul de
sac that 1t is unlikely that they will
come together to talk peace" Herr
Heine. continued, lit only remains for
the people themselves to raise their
voices for peace and to take in hand
the task of removing the influence Of
those people whose mischievous activ-
ity is largely blamable for the war;
whose avowed policy OF domination is
wrongly regarded abroad as the aim of
the German people and to whom must
be ascribed the fact that Germany is
hated by the entire world"
