HUSBAND
HELD FOR MURDER
Woman, Once Montana Ste
nographer, Shot in Bed
With Sister.

st. Paul, April 26.-While the police
insisted they had no information defi-
nitely connecting him with the crime,
Frank J. Dunn, a teaming contractor,
was/locked up in the county Jail here
tonight pending a thorough investi-
cation of the murder early today of
his former wife, beautiful daughter of
an old st. Paul family.
No formal charge was entered
against Dunn and the authorities re-
fused to disclose what clews they had
that might lead to the apprehension
of the man, who. wearing a white
mask, entered the bed chamber Of
Mrs. Alice McQuillan Dunn and when
the flare of light from Il Passing street
car revealed her lying in bed, shot her
three times as her terrorized 19-year-
old sister, katherine, lying beside her,
looked on.
Mrs. Dunn was granted legal sepa-
ration from her husband September 3,
1909, with alimony and since her re-
turn three weeks ago from Montana,
where she had been employed at Bill
lings, Forsythe and other cities as a
stenographer. she had lived at the
! home of her father, ]. +. McQuillan,
and shared her room with her younger
| sister. Mrs. Dunn was % years old.
! The assassin. the police say, drove
to the house in a powerful automobile
and gained entrance to the house
through a. rear window. He took a
check for $40 and II cents in cash
from Mr.. McQuillan's room, but police
cover up the real motive of his visit
as indicated when he told Katherine
who screamed as he approached the
daughters bed to keep cool. Il don't
want you'll saw her, and just want
to do a little shooting
katherine's screams aroused hel
father and brother, but only after The
man had escaped in the automobile ir
which the police believe a confederat,
was waiting.
Dunn was taken to police headquar
ters shortly after the shooting, bu
was released when he apparently hat
convinced the police that he was il
his apartment when the crime wa
committed. 1t was after a two hours
con inference late today between tn
chief Of police and county attorne
that Dunn was locked up.

Apparently the sanguinary struggle
that has been going on in the region
of Arras has come to a pause for the
moment. Thursday saw no infantry

as the British and German official
communications have made known.
London reports nothing except artil-

Berlin merely asserts that of the days
doings there Is nothing of Importance
to report.
The only thing savoring of an in
fantry clash occurred southeast of
Ypres, where the Germans early
Thursday morning attempted to raid n
British crater post but were driven off
with casualties. Likewise on that part
of the line held by the French there
has been a similar let up in the fight

FOOD FOR MILLIONS
DRUNK UP IN BOOZE
Wasted Grain Would Feed
Eighth of Population.

Washington, April 26.--Establish i'm
mediately two meatless days week.
Prohibit use of grain in the manu-
facture of whisky and beer. ..,.
Prohibit milling of white flour or
refined cornmeal."
Compel use d whole wheat flour
and whole cornmeal.
Taboo polished rice: substitute the
npolshed-and healthier.
These are, epitomized, some of the
hints in the war diet which DR.. Harvey
w. Wiley, original pure food exponent,
gives to the nation. Such a war diet
as DIR. Wiley proposes would not only
conserve the nations food supply i'm
measurably but it would result in u
far healthier nation, DR.. Wiley. con-
tends.
In milling white flour DR.. Wiley
said, I'VE throw away nearly third
of the grain. BY milling whole wheat
we can turn two bushels OF grain into
as muclD flour as three bushels now
make.
whole wheat flour is Nr more
wholesome than white. for it contains
all the vital elements that have been
taken from white flour. t..-
I'VE eat meat to supply the vital ell
ements which have been thrown out Of
our bread. If We will keep them IN the
bread we can get along with less meat.
American. distilleries and breweries
use enough grain every year to feed IL
million people-one- eighth of Ameri-
cas- population.
Manufacture of white flour and re-
fined cornmeal wastes enough to feed
5,O0o,0 900 more.
Those who eat whole grains, such
as oatmeal, wheat and corn, don't need
so much meat.
ITS poor economy to do without po-
tatoes and other vegetables, ever
though their price may be high.
ITS a mistake to eat rice as a sub
stitute for potatoes. Polished rice is
little better than poison, and in man!
cities it's impossible to buy unpolished
rice. ..-----...
Il urge every one to eat less sugar
because sugar Is fuel that only thos
working at day labor can use withou
harm.
| And above all. I advise plenty o
pure milk for the children of the ma
ton. There is no better food tha
milk"

To Take Several Weeks.

Three or four weeks may be spent
in deliberation on the bill In full COM
mittee. Provision fdr obtaining all
money immediately needed already
has been made and the committeeman
are inclined to take their time about
formulating a fair revenue bill.
Members of the subcommittee are
virtually agreed on all features except
income and excess profit taxes. Its
| experts will present statistics on ex-
| cess profits tomorrow.
| There has been a great deal Of argu-
ment over whether the income tax
exemption shall be lowered to $1,000
for single and $1,000 or $4,000 for mar
ried persons. from the present figures
$4,000 and $4,000. Most members OF
the sub committee are understood to
be willing to lower the exemption 70,
single persons to $1,000, but they are
at loggerheads on the figure for mar
ried persons. Some maintain that the
married persons should be allowed
$1,000 greater exemption than single
while others are holding out for onl,
$500.
The excess profits tax presents
quite as great a problem. Whether
there shall be a flat tax on all profits
or a continuation of the present exces
profit tax plan with "a raised rate ha.
not been decided. 1t was said, how
ever, that there was a strong likeli
hood Of the latter plan prevailing.
Plans for taxing automobiles nov
receiving close attention would pro
vide for a five per cent tax on tn,
factory cost. At this rate, it is esti
mated $75,000.00O could be raised dur
ing the coming year.
A tax on railroad and Pullman ca
tickets to be paid by the purchase
lappears to be assured.
one great general problem wit
which the sub committee now
struggling is that Of providing NOR
taxes which can be placed on wealt
! and not passed on to the consumer
Some committeeman thing the solutio
lies in income and excess profits plan
now under consideration.

BILL FOR RAISING
WAR REVENUE READY
House Committee to Delay on
$l,5OO,OOO,O0O Measure.

Washington, April pa tentative
bill for raising war revenues during
the coming year probably will be re-
ported to the ways and means COM
mittee not later than Monday by the
sub committee drafting the measure.
The list of suggestions submitted by
Secretary McAdoo for the information
of congress is expected to be followed
closely, though it is said to be unlikely
that it will contain provisions. for
retroactive income and excess profits
taxes. consumption taxes or tariff
changes.
Present indications are that the bill
will carry items totallng only about
$500, 100000. The secretary's sugges-
tions would have brought in $l,S00.-
100000. which. it was thought. would
meet half the expenses of the first
year of the war.

WIVES AGAIN

A friend of ours came home one
day last spring with large, durable
wife She had a long nose and a
short upper lip; a beard, a mole, a
mustache and a jaw, ladies and gen
tIemen, that would make a chunk Of
chilled steel green with envy.
About the same time another
friend troOped in with a small, COM
pact, tWo-gil creature who fiddled.
Fiddling and dawdIing over every
thing she did was her speciality. Nero
fiddled while Rome was burning. She
fiddled while the potatoes were doing
the same thing.
Now we struck a middle ground.
We got one neither tall nor short,
dawding nor adamant, iron nor
mush. We took her on in cold blood,
after due consideration. She fits.
And we don't expect to take her off
in Reno
We favor the three-quarter length
wife.

And then she died.
That was one thing he hadn't
counted on.
Upon him now fell the full burden
of caring for the brood, the oldest

you have gathered from all this that
Bartlett didn't love his babies you
must know little about universal
fatherhOOd. 1t struck him now like
a blow that he couldn't converse with
his own flesh and blood.
He lay awake nights yearning
over his little "cubs," half white, half
brown waits, listening to their
strange mUrmurs as they dreamed,
or their pathetic calls for the dead
mother who could understand them.
Every uninteIligible word through
which they tried to make known
their walled-in souls was a reproach
to the father
Today the prOspeCtOrs remark on
the change that something has
working in the eyes and features of
Trader Bartlett, but few have
guessed its cause.
Recently a scientist in the govern
ment employ stopped to buy tea and

opened his heart for a flash.
You know" he stammered, look

men. I can't talk to my own chill

"squaw men" of the north.
They expect very little Of life. But
Bartlett got even less than he ex-
pected.
