CHICAGO MURDER MYSTERY.
Police Investigating Death Of Wife e,i
3 War Hero and Ragged STRANGER.

War Hero and Ragged Stranger.
Chicago, July ADMINISTRATION of
the mysterious murder Of the young
wife Of Lieut.. Carl Wanderer center
ed last night upon the identity of tie
ragged, illkept man whose body ws.s
found beside her in the vestibule of
the Wanderer home July 81.
While the lieutenant, who Is in
custody Of the police, claims the man
was, a robber, the authorities are not
satisfied with his story. Thruout
yesterday and late into last night
they grilled him in an effort to break
down his story.
Fred Wanderer, a cousin. and Carl
Johnson, a brother of the slam
woman, also were held and que.,-
toned at length concerning the pres
ence of two automatic pistols on the
scene Of the tragedy.
Lieutenant Wanderer admits ono
belonged to him; and that he shot
the stranger to death with it after
the latter had shot and mortally
wounded his wife in an attempt to
rob the couple as they entered their
home, 4732 N. Campbell av.
He claims the other weapon was
drawn by the alleged robber. Thru
the cousin. and brother in-law, how
ever, detectives have established the
fact that Lieutenant Wanderer was
in possession Of two automatic
pistols at the time of the tragedy
one his own and another which he
had taken from the former.
This latter weapon Is missing, but
1t Is said to correspond almost identi-
cally with that which was found be-
side the strangers body.
BY establishing the identity Of the
unknown man, detectives believe they
will forge a new link of circumstsln-
tial evidence against the army officer.
They think it will be shown that the
stranger was not in possession OF q
weapon, and therefore that the one
beside him was placed there by a
second party.
A registration card was found in
the mans pockets. This has been
forwarded to the war department at
Washington with request that the
draft registration records be opened
and the holders identity learned.
While this angle of the investiga-
ton was being pursued, other detec-
tives searching the Campbell avenue
district found a neighbor-a man

PENNSY DIVIDEND
REGARDED SAFE
Local Bankers Find Three Dis.
tinct Favorable Points in
Rate AdranceS

While not having any direct influence
or association with any of the local
shares the extremely favorable rate de-
| cision given by the Interstate Commerce
Commission on Saturday was the chief
topic of discussion in local banking and
market circles. 1t naturally was of
great interest in that IL means a sta
blity of dividends for many OF the
railroad shares which are held eXten-
sively by the Philadelphia investors.
In the opinion Of local bankers the
generous allowance granted by the In
terstate Commerce Commission, virtu-
ally makes the Pennsylvania Railroad
absolutely safe. Reduction by this
standard representative Of American
railroad in dividend had never been Sc
riOusly entertained. but now there is
no question as to its continuance. The
stock, naturally was one of the strong
est spots of the local market. and came
for attention by reason of the recovery
OF the 70 cents quarterly dividend which
came og this morning. At 1917, com.
pared with 397s, Saturdays closing
price. the stock showed n gain of tx,
as today's price with the dividend on
was equivalent TO AN.

In the opinion of banking interests
the action OF the Interstate Commerce.
Commission has three distinct points
each of the umotst value. First, and
foremost, of course, is the increase in
itself then there is the great value in
the change of attitude on the part of
the government, Interstate Commerce
Commission and the shippers, and al.
most equal importance to the increa sc
in rates Is the practical establishment
of value of the roads. a substantial rec
ornition of book values, and this should
put an end to the repeated cry Of

In the miscellaneous list price move =
ment was very mixed. Renewed selling
pressure appeared for time against
Philadelphia Rapid Transit forcing that
stock back to IA, but there was much
better underlying support which soon
checked the decline and brought q par
tial recovery. Philadelphia Traction
still held at 80, the recent low level.

SATURDAYS FINAL QUOTATIONS
NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET

New York. Aug. 2.-The market for
coffee futures opened 10 to 20 points
higher this morning on short covering
brought about by the steadier cables
from Brazil. Trading was quiet.
There was little or no selling pressure
after the call and, on continued de-
mand, prices advanced 20 to 81 points.
December selling up to 1910 and March
to 1890 by midday.
Some of the local traders point to
the change in weather conditions in
Sac Paulo. this mornings map show
ing minimum temperatures ranging iron
33 to 4S. This may have had a sentientol
influence and tended to check offerings
to some extent. There was more dis.
position to buy than usual.
The early advance failed to hold be-
yond midday and prices quickly worked
bock TO initial figures. with December
selling at 1O.55C and March at l0.TsJc,
or % points down from the high point
of the morning 1t was believed that
the demand was checked by q privately
reported lower Santos market with fresh
trade selling following in the local mar
ket.
1t is believed that little in the way
of strength may be expected in Brazil
until Santos has sold large amount of
coffee. This they have not done.
American importers are not showing
interest in purchases at present levels
although Santos firm offers have been
lowered from day to day. IL seems to
be question Of demand.
