Detective Is ''Hired'
To Kill a Husband
Ex-Sailor, Accused of Death
Plot. Blames Woman

Chicago, July 26.-Sidney P. Walker,
recently discharged dishonorably from
the navy at the age Of twenty years, is
tonight locked up on a charge Of con-
spiracy to murder the husband Of Lu-
ellie Ender, who was released tonight
on bonds after she had declared that
the plot, if it existed, was not Of her
planning. Mrs. Ender, who is twenty
one years old, recently sued her hus-
band, Adolph, fifty-fve years old, coal
dealer, for divorce, alleging cruelty.
Walker was arrested after, it is al
legged, he had unsuspectingly "hired" a
police detective TO kill Ender for Sl5
and a promise of $500 more after the
act had been performed. He talked
freely when arrested, the burden OF his
story, the police say, being that 1.-The
woman did it," He said he came to
Chicago after his discharge from the
navy, met Mrs. Ender, and later went
10 room at her house. He said he came
TO love Mrs. Ender through seeing her
husband beat her.
Before the divorce suit was filed,
Walker asserted, Mrs. Ender told him
it was either her life or her husbands.
Mrs. Ender told the police that all this
was romantic raving.
According TO Walkers story, he asked
a barkeeper where he could get man
to commit a murder, and a city detec-
tive was called in, disguised to look
like a desperate man. Soon after the
supposed murderer had received his
first payment Walker was arrested.

Two Pittsburgh Girls Helped
In Overthrow of the Gar
Daughters of Count Former Engineer Subway Served
New Regime as Messengers in Petrograd When
Rioters Filled Streets-Now in New York

with the thought OF new freedom. Yet
no one ever molested the young girl,
who went about, day and night, un-
escorted and unarmed.
Margaret and Vera are the daugh-
ters of Count Alexander Lodyguine, a
mechanical engineer employed by the
Petrograd Tramways Corporation. Prior
to his return TO Russia he was en-
ployed as a constructing engineer on
the New York subway. Countess Lody-
guine brought her daughters back to
the United States because of the lack of
educational facilities in Russia at pres
ent.
Insist in Aiding New Regime
For the first two days of the revolu-
tion she kept her daughters indoors,
but when the scout commands to which
they belonged sent out call for mes
sengers to aid the newly formed gov
ernment, the girls insisted upon going.
During the next two weeks Vera and
Margaret worked from in the morn
ing until midnight. They carried mes
sages, they helped troops keep the
crowds in check, they aided in hunts
for spies and traitors. Then Margaret
was made secretary to the chief of po-
lice and Vera became a special messen-
ger for the War Department.
eve were afraid sometimes" she said
in answer to question, "but generally
we were too busy to think about being
scarce. For the first little while the
government was suspicious of us, as it
was of everybody. Later they realized
that we were patriots and we received
important assignments.
For while no street cars were rum
ming and we had to walk long dis
tances. Sometimes officers would rec
ognize our uniforms and give US lift

Militia and Negroes
Riot in Youngstown

Youngstown, Ohio, July 26.-Soldiers
of the 10th Regiment, Ohio National
Guard, were patrollng the downtown
district Of Youngstown tonight, as a
precaution against renewal of race
rioting which broke out here this af-
ternoon between thirty Guardsmen and
a score or more of negroes. During the
rioting one negro was severely injured
and several others were badly beaten
by the militamen, who say the trouble
was the result of insulting remarks di-
rected at them by the negroes.
The Guard patrolmen carried no guns
but were armed with policemen's clubs
and were under orders from Colonel
William f. Love TO allow neither
Guardsmen nor negroes to congregate
on the streets. Up until a late hour
there had been no further disturb
ances.
Following this afternoons outbreak
the feeling, which has been developing
for several weeks among white resi-
dents against the negroes, reached a
high pitch, and il was the opinion of
authorities that the slightest disturb
ance tonight might cause riot of
serious proportions.
Soldiers maintain that for some time
past the negroes have been persistently
insulting members Of the units sta
toned here, and the resentment of the
mlitiamen finally became uncontrol-
able this afternoon. A large crowd Of
white citizens were spectators during
this afternoons trouble, and were start
ing to participate on the side Of the
Guardsmen. when a Gordon OF police
stopped the encounter.

From an article written by Mr.. OLeary
in the August number of "The Bull"
which was on sale yesterday, he appears
to have done so.
"Unmoved and immovable, confident

Is, Mr.. OLeary points out, "the
splendid genius of the German Cen
eral Staff and host of other admir-
able attributes.
Still more than the panegyrics Of Mr..
OLeary, the cartoons in the magazine
interested Federal officials yesterday.
There is one depicting an undertaker's
mop. Some of the placards scattered
about are "CaSket Contractors for the
United States Army" Before Trav-
cling Abroad Come Inside and Be
Fitted" Estimates Cheerfully Fur
nished."
Another, entitled "The Lion and the
Mouse" depicts an animal trainer re-
pulsing with a whip a mouse which
seeks crumbs in the lions cage. "You
must wait until the lion is fed" SAYS
the trainer. The man in menagerie liv-
cry is President Wilson. The lion

Shipbuilders here. whose men have
been on strike three weeks, have noti-
fed the Navy Department that they
will have all the men they may need by
July 80, and the government then will
begin recruiting men for work in the
Brooklyn and other yards. Up TO this
time the government and the private
yards have been working under a
gentlemsn's agreement by which neithes
employed men engaged by the other.
This agreement was made because of
desire TO avoid interfering with the
work private contractors might have
on hand. On their statement that they
will have all the men they can Use next

Two daughters of the Russian revo-
luton reached here yesterday. They
wore uniforms Of Girl Scouts, which
had been their badges OF Office when
they served the Provisional Govern
ment as messengers during the stormy
days following the overthrow of the
Car.
Both girls were born in Pittsburgh,
yet blue-eyed Vera Lodyguine, four
teen years old, had threaded her way
through streets choked with rioters
during the seven days of the revolution,
carrying messages from department to
department of the young government.
She told quite calmly yesterday of men
and women shot down near her and of
how she administered first aid from
the scout kit which she carried.
Aided Chief Of Police
Her elder sister, Margaret, sixteen,
served as secretary to the Chief of
Police at Petrograd. During her term
of office she wrote hundreds of war
rants for arrest and seizure of prop
erty.
Vera told the story yesterday. Her
blue eyes sparkled excitedly as she re-
counted the stirring events of which
she was a part. She wore khaki
blouse, with "Petrograd" in Russian
characters on its breast pocket. She
also displayed a permit which granted
her the right to carry revolver.
"But never had one" she remarked.

Red Cross Arranging
Rest Stations for Troops

Paris, July 26. - Officials of the
American Red Cross expects before the
end of this week TO complete the in
stallation of some dozen infirmaries
and rest stations along the route fol-
lowed by American troops between the
port of debarkation and the permanent
training camps.
The process of moving troops under
present conditions occupies hours, so
that diseases are apt TO develop. The
Red Cross will therefore station a
nurse at each of the stations, which
will be equipped with ten beds apiece,
and designated by the Quartermaster's
Department as food and rest points.
Officers in charge of shifting troops
will turn over 10 the nurses all soldiers
who become i'll, and the men will be
placed in French hospitals, visited
daily and given attention and small
luxuries until they are able to rejoin
their companies.
