Who Are Trying to Capture
Her-SteaIs From Spy.

Paris-From the mass Of thrilling
entente spy stories, there stands u
one master mind" a young woman.
She is Miss Irene Westermann. From
the outbreak of the war, this mysteri-
GUS and fascinating lady, whose gifts
made her a welcome guest in many
Berlin homes, cleaned from German
high officials information of the great
est value to the allies. Despite the
price of $4,000 on her head, she Worked
successfully in Germany during the
four years of war, wen associating
with and obtaining information from
the very German secret service wiz
ards" who were trying to capture her.
1t was not until the eve of the armi-
stice, in October, 1918, that the Ber-
lin secret service discovered Miss
Westermann's real work. When they
went to her apartment to arrest her
she had flown.
According to the Germans own
story, Miss Westermann obtained and
passed to agents of the entente infor-
nation regarding Germany's construc-
ton of new types of submarines, the
latest type of %aeroplanes and the new
gun which the Germans had invented
to deal with tanks.
What the German high command evil
IDENTIFY felt most of all was the fact
that when they had arranged for the
preparation of a new poison gas, which
was to be a greater surprise to the al
lies than the first gas, this mystery
spy obtained the formula in some way
and passed it on to the allies. The
result was that work was begun on a
new type of respirator, and when the
gas was used it proved a great failure.
Toyed With German Agents.
Miss Westermann was master of the
situation in Germany. She had estab-
lished a wide connection and gave
music lessons to %children>in Berlin be-
fore the war. She spoke German
~fiuently, and to all outward appear
n c was a typical German girl.
The first hint of a clever girl agent
in the employ of the entente was re

In 1915, when they were warned that
q lady was obtaining very important
information and passing it to suspect
ed agents In neutral countries. Maj.
Weissmann, Germany's spy expert,
made a six months search throughout
Germany, but finally confessed fall
ure to locate her. Weissmann appears
to have been among the last to sus-
pect the charming Miss Westermann,
who was a personal friend Of his and
actually on several occasions discussed
with him the mystery Of the woman
spy who was battling the best brains
of the German secret service.
Took Papers From Spy Expert.
On one occasion Weissmann cap
tured and had shot two French secret
service men who had stolen some i'm
portant documents from him. Weiss
mann was rather proud Of his success
in getting these papers back and in
having the two spies executed.
He could not help boasting about his
success to the lady and he even showed
her the papers. She appeared greatly
interested In them and lost I'm admIra-
tion for the resources and skill Of her
companion. It was only when he
reached his w lodgings that tho
major found the papers missing.

Vote For Cash Valuation.

~ wi S0Si V0iddAtSus -
The house, by a vote of 95 to RI, has
passed the Farris bill providing that
all real and personal property in the
state shall be assessed and taxed at
its full cash value, and reducing the
state tax levy from 15 cents to 10
cents on the 800 valuation. Four ST..
Louis representatives voted against
the bill. The bill carries an emer-
gency clause.
The measure also reduces the state
capitol tax from 2 cents to 1 cent on
the 500 valuation and suspends for
a period Of two years the tax Of 2
cents on the state school and seminary
certificate Of indebtedness.
Discretionary powers are given to
city and county tax levying bodies to
reduce the tax levies Of the particular
county or city to produce sufficient
revenue to conduct their business.
While the measure repeats the law
creating the state tax commission, it
furnishes the machinery to manda-
mus the state board of equalization to
assess all property at its actual casn
value. Other bills have been passed
abolishing the commission.
Farris explained that the clause
providing that the assessor could have
full access to the books Of banks and
been stricken out of the bill. This
caused a fight to be made on the bill
when 1t was e%ngrossed, and wal fol-
lowed by a flood of letters into the
legislature protesting against the
measure.

Governor sians Road Bill.

Governor Signs Road Bill.
Governor Gardner signed the Nor
CANINE Cullough road bill and sent a
special message answering the criti-
cisms which the members Of the Auto
mobile Club, the newspapers and the
Chamber of Commerce of St. Louis
have levied against the bill, chief Of
which was that it commits the state to
a policy of dirt roads.
Incorporated in his message which
he made public Is an opi1a(n en-
dered by Attorney General Frank w.
McAllister, in which he holds it does
not preclude the use of convict labor
In road construction, that it cantem-
plates the construction Of every kind
of road, that it does not relax the pro-
visions for obtaining state and federal
aid.
Governor Gardner p~ropounded four
questions to Attorney General Meal
lister. these covering objections which
had been raised to the law by st. Louis
critics largely. THESE were:
First, can convict labor still be used
In the work of road construction to the
same extent as is authorized under the
existing law?
Second, can the machinery and road
equipment owned by counties or other
civil subdivisions of the state be made
use Of in the construction Of roads
under the proposed act?
Third, does the proposed enactment
change the character Of roads, sur
faced and earth, which may now be
constructed under the terms of the
Halves act?
Fourth, do the proposed amend
ments relax the provisions contained
In the Halves law, with reference to
obtaining federal aid for road construc-
ton?
Gardner, after quoting the opinion,
strongly defended the law.

The governor said the people of the
state were expecting the enactment OF
a workmen's compensation law and the
submission Of a proposal to call a
constitutional convention, as well as
other important measures pending,
particularly those relating to educa-
ton. He suggested that If employer

as appeals to you to be fair to all the
parties interested"
