Girl Kills Woman
Whose Husband
She Had Stolen

Waukesha, Wis, June 22.-Miss
Grace Lusk, high school teacher, who
yesterday shot and killed Mrs. Rob
erts, wife of DIR. David Roberts, for
mer state veterinarian, and then tried

physicians said today.
To Chief of Police Mckay, Miss
Lusk said:
4 am sorry for Mrs. Roberts. l

"I never thought ] could do it. /

and always"
A letter evidently written by Miss
Lusk to Mrs. Roberts was made pub
lie. 1t read in part:
"You must have known for long
time that your husbands affections
had passed from you; that he cared
for someone else. That is sufficient
annulment of any marriage vow that
ever was given.
That is the way you respectable
folk-good, moral women--do things

live lives of ease.

FOUR PERSONS SHOT
BY NEBRASKA MAN
Frank briggs of Lincoln Kills
Three Men and Woman
and Attacks Girl at
Potsdam, N. Y.

Syracuse, N. Y, June 22.-(Spccial
Telegram )-Three men and one
woman are dead, and an l8-year-old
girl is in a serious condition, following
an assault and a fourth man is in the
Potsdam, N. Y, hospital with a bull
let in his shoulder, as the result OF
Frank briggs of Lincoln, Neb., sud
denly going insane last night and
numbering an entire family.
The dead are:
HENRY LADUE, aged IS.
JAMES LADuE, aged %, his brother.
MRS. }. sEPPINE ROGERS, aged II,
their sister.
DIR. THERON JENKINS.
Wounded;
John Ladue. another brother.
The girl, Miss Minnie Ladue, is a
niece OF the dead men. After being
kidnapped by briggs she ran away
and notified the Potsdam police. She
tells an incoherent story to the effect
that Mrs. Rogers had sent her for a
doctor and as soon as she left the
house briggs shot her aunt.
The girl entered the house and
was tied and gagged. She heard
briggs enter the room OF her uncle
and shoot him in bed. Her other uncle,
James, ran cried out to be spared.
Two bullets cut his pleas short.
Descending to the first floor briggs
heard DR.. jenkins mount the porch.
He waited until the doctor opened
the door and then shot him down. He
then went to the barn and shot John
Ladue in the shoulder.
briggs then returned TO the room
where Miss Ladue lay and assaulted
her. He compelled her to accompany
him TO Potsdam, where they regis
tered at a hotel.
After briggs fell asleep she escaped
and fed to the police station and
directed the officers TO the room,
where he was arrested and lodged in
the Potsdam jail.
briggs maintains a sullen air. He
says his home is in Lincoln and that
he has relatives there. He is an cleo
trician by trade. During the last year
and half he has been wandering
around, living for a short time at St.
Louis and Omaha.

WILL FIX PRICES ON
STEEL AND Pig IRON
Government Will Commander
Plants if Fair Rates Are
Not Accepted by the
Manufacturers.

Washington, June 22.-Thc Federal
Trade commission will be asked soon
by President Denman OF the Emer-
gcuCy Fleet corporation TO fix uni
form price for steel and steel products
ior all industries throughout the coun-
try.
The commission will be asked to
name a fair price which will afford
producers fair profit, not only on
steel, but on pig iron, iron ore and
every other material entering into the
manufacture of steel.
May Commander Plants.
The method of procedure will be
ior the commission TO suggest to all
IRON and steel manufacturers and ore
producers that they unite and name
a price themselves, subject to the
commissions approval. Should they
decline TO adopt this course the gov
ernment has power to commander
the plants,
With the government obtaining its
steel for the proposed feet OF ocean
going vessels at a comparatively low
price, it is feared that unless some
restrictive action be taken the price
of steel and iron to other industries
will attain unheard-of levels within a
short time.
That, it is pointed out, might be
brought about by tn natural law of
supply and demand, as the govern
mcnt's requirements when filled
would leave an inadequate supply for
other industries.
All Grades and Kinds.
The present program calls for the
fixing OF prices of all grades and
kinds OF steel and iron. 1t is pointed
out that iron and steel for use in the
manufacture of harvesters and other
agricultural implements is necessary
for the national defense to a degree
secondary only TO the need Of steel
in constructing the proposed mer-
chant feet. ,.
The commission also might find it
necessary TO fix the price of manga
nese, limestone and other elements en-
tering into the manufacture OF pig
iron, which, in turn. enter into the
manufacture Of steel.
