ADMITS cH,LD's MURDER.


Chicago. Thomas Fitzgerald, 80
years old, and married, confessed Sun
day to the police that he killed little
Janet Wilkinson, six years old, a neigh
boris child, hast Tuesday by srrangling
her. He accompanied the police to
his home and showed them where he
had concealed the body beneath some
cOul under the basement s.ups, and Ii
was recovered
The solution of the mystery, which
has stirred Chicago as few police cases
have aroused the populucc. came this
morning when Fitzgerald after five
sleepless days and nights, constantly
kept under a grueling examination and
never-ceasing scrutiny, called for an
officer and made his confession.
The authorities acted quickly. Al
though Fitzgerald has been termed a
moron by the police, the criminal
machinery was to proceed as usual.
Coroner Hoffman quichly selected a
Jury and opened the inquest.
Fitzgerald was an employee at the
Virginia, residential hotel. He lived
Ia the neighborhood. In lhe same
building lived the Wilkinson family
Janet was one Of four children.

Prominent Oakley Men
In Accident

l.. A. Nelson and H. r. Matthews
narrowly escaped fatal injury last
July q when the buggy in which
they we're driving into Rock creek
canyon rolled down the side Of the
mountain.
The men were on a fishing trip.
and tried \ descent where the grade
proved too steep. The buggy
tnrned 4 somsrsault over the horses.
and continued its xcrobatic feats for
225 feet down the mountain. The
horses became disentangled sitter =
short time, but the two men were
unable to get loose from the wreck
age till it had gone considerable
distance. H. R Matthews wxs the
hrst to escape. MIR. Nelson was
carried about $50 feet before he
rolled out.
While both men were bruised, Mr..
Nelson suffered the worse Injuries
He was severely bruised over his
entire anatomy.

Birch Crock Road Will
De Completed Soon

About fifteen men are now work
ing on the new Birch creek road, un-
der the supervision Of J. w. ColIis-
ter, road overseer. The new road
represents several advantages over
the old one. Thirteen bridges have
been eliminated, there being now
four instead Of seventeen ~ former
~. The new road bed il much
smoother than the old one, and the
grade 10 better. The steep grade
over the Martindale hill is altogether
eliminated. Besides. the new road
is shorter than the old one, at least
a mile having been saved between
Oakley and Moulton.
The stretch of new road is entire
ly along the west side of birch

YANKEES WE'D GERMAN GIRLS.
Many American Soldiers Marry When
Orders Are Misunderstood.

Coblenz.-keports Of marriages be-
tween American soldiers and German,
girls have been received nt bcnduuur-
ters from various parts Of the occu-
pied area during the past few days.
but as yet no cliarges have been filed
against any OF the men. 1t is believed
most Of the marriages were due to
misunderstanding regarding the anti
differentiation regulations.
A week before the treaty was signed
several Of the chaplalns. through mis-
understanding, informed The soldiers
that marriages were permissible Ms
soon as the Germans accepted The
peace terms. Officers say that a num-
Der OF marriages took place before this
belief was corrected by special r,lcr
from headquarters calling the niten-
ton Of officers and men to the fact
that until the United States ratified
the treaty Germany and America
technically were at war. and the reg
ulation prohibiting determination was
still in force.

By Charles Nicholson.

Washington, May 19.-When he re-
turns to America President Wilson
plans to make a definite and public
announcement that under no citcun-
stances will he be a candidate for re-
election.
He outlined this program to a
number of democratic members of the
foreign relations and foreign affairs
committees on occasion of the dinner
at which he answered questions about
the league of nations,
There has been more or less mys-
terry about utterances on that occa-
S on, principally due 10 the circuri-
stance that his statements about his
candidacy were confid ntial, while his
replies to the questions concerning the
Paris negotiations were meant to be
told broadcast.
Wanted Undivided Attention.
He explained his reasons for not
making the announcement at that
time. He wanted the undivided at
tention and support of the party lnad-
ers for what he regarded as the mcst
vital thing in the modern history of
America. He hoped that the personal
ambitions of 70 democrat would start
cross currents that might develop into
rivalries that would distract the en-
ergies of the leaders of sentiment and
confuse the public opinion.
AS long as there was a possibility
of the presidents being the candi-
date, nobody would start campaigns
for the other fellows, and the atten-
ton. Of the country would remain cen
tered on the big question.
! AT the same time he made then

There was SONY effort to get the
president to indicate then Tho. in
his op.nion, the best man was, but
he was not to be cajoled into making
a choice that would upset III his cal
culations regardless of the confiden!ial
character of the conversation.

TOWERS AND CREW OF NC-.3
ENTER PORT; BRING PLANE
IN UNDER ITS OWN POWER


Washington, May 19.-After wealth
ering a sixty mile gale and heavy seas,
the missing seaplane NC-3, flagship
of the American naval trans Atlantic
flight squadron entered Ponta Del
Gada harber today under her own
power nearly sixty hours from the
time she was forced down by fog when
almost in sight of the Azores on the
record breaking flight from New
Foundland for Lisbon and Plymouth,
England.
Searching battleships and destroy
ers were securing the seas and naval
officials had all but abandoned hope
for the safety of the flying ship and
her crew of five when warships at
Ponta Del Gada saw the plane taxing
across the water headed for the flight
objective in the Azores.
Rear Admiral Jackson Immediately
dispatched the news to the navy de-
partment by cable, relieving the anX-
iety Of officials and ending the long
vigil Mrs. Towers had kept since first
news came, last Saturday morning
that her husbands plane had been
lost in the fog 800 miles from the
Azores.
The story of the plucky fight the
forced to make for two days and
nights was not expected at the navy
department before tomorrow for Off
clals realized that the aviators must
have been almost exhausted when they
reached their haven,
With the crew safe the matter of
greatest momept was the condition
of the plane and whether it would be
able to continue the flight to Lisbon.
| No information as to this had
reached the department tonight, but
officers would not be surprised if it
was found that the ship could not
proceed without extensive repairs.
