WIFE MURDERER
CONFESSES CRIME
Attempted To Take His Life In New
York Hotel-P1aced Under Arrest
While On Operating Table.

NEW YORK, March lS.-George
Evans of New Britain, Conn, confessed
murderer of his wife in that city just be
fore noon Tuesday, was arrested last
night as he lay in the Bellevue hospital
following an attempt at suicide by slash
ing his throat and taking poison. He
made complete confession, according to
the police, and said he was willing to go
to the electric chair for the crime.
The confession was made, the police
say, while Evans was lying on an oper-
ating table, after surgeons had sewed up
cash in his throat inflicted by a piece
of broken glass iii a room at the Park
Avenue Hotel. He said he choked his
wife to death in the kitchen of their New
Britain home in furious rage over a
statement by her that she didn't care
what became of their three-year old son.
According to the detectives, their pris-
oner said that he had quarrelled for the
last week with his wife, whom he had
married when she was IA years old; that
Tuesday morning he had accused her OF
infdelity and neglect of their child, and
when she replied that she didn't care
what became of the child, he flew into a
rage, chol1ed her with the reins packed
her lifeless body in trunk and left foi
New York just before noon.

SUGGESTED ROUTES
FOR HEAVY LOADS
Board of Trade Renders Service to
Persons Coming Into the Village
May Avoid Bare Streets.

Farmers and teamsters in outlying
sections are being rendered real service
today by the Brattleboro board of trade,
officials of which have made a survey of
travelling conditions on the various
streets about town, in the way of laying
out advisable routes for them to follow
in coming into town with loaded teams
in order to avoid the hard pulls across
the bare pavements to their places of nm
loading. Letters are being sent out this
afternoon to about 80 members of the
board who live in the outlying districts
giving the suggested routes.
Local lumber dealers said today that
lumbermen had been hampered in their
work this winter by reason of unusually
deep snow, which has prevented them
from getting logs out of the woods and to
the mills, but with the rising tempera-
lures and consequent diminishing of the
depth of snow many loads of logs may
be brought into town during the next
week, and if the less frequented streets
of the town are used much time will be
saved from what would be necessary if
the teamsters were obliged to double
up across the bare stretches
1t is inevitable that the conditions
should change from day to day at this
season of the year, and the board of trade
suggests that persons contemplating
bringing in heavy loads telephone the
board of trade office between $50 O'Clock
in the forenoon and 5 clock in the after
noon for information regarding the roads.
To persons coming from Dummerston
or Putney or from points along those
roads, the route suggested is as follows:
Follow main road to the fountain near
the high school; turn right across car
track to Linden street; then Williston
street to Oak; across High down Whipple
street to Green; across Green to School,
down School to Elliot; turn to right
on Elliot and take Frost street to Flat
For those coming from Guilford or that
section the following route should be
followed: Follow Canal street to Birge
street past Estey's shops and down grade
across iron bridge to Elliot street and
take first right after crossing iron bridge
for Flat street. The routes to be sug
gested for teamsters from West Brattle
boro and Hinsdale have not been decided
upon definitely, but information regard
ing these will be given out tomorrow.

HOPE TO FINISH
TREATY TODAY
Senate Will Hold Night Ses-
sion Ii Necessary to Com
plete Reservations
MUCH UNCERTAINTY
OVER FINAL VOTE
Bryan's Efforts to Have Democrats
Accept Republican Compromise Hav-
ing Effect-Declaration of Policy
Towards Europe Fails.

WASHINGTON, March lS-Fimal vote
ON ratification Of the peace treaty seemed
probable today. While plans were not
being made for a show down before to-
morrow and perhaps not until Saturday
senate leaders were prepared to put the
treaty to a test Immediately if all the re-
naming reservations were disposed of be-
fore adjournhent A night session was
regarded as likely in the event it seemed
possible to bring conclusion to the ia
nous controversy which has been be.c.e
The senate many months.
The presence of William Jennings
Bryan and his influence to persuade the
Democrats to accept the best compromise
they could obtain on the reservations
submitted by the Republicans so that
the treaty might be ratified before the
Presidential election gave added uncer-
tainty to the outcome of the ratification
vote.
About a dozen reservations remain to
be acted upon, but all are concerned with
minor questions unlikely to provoke
much speech-making Debate has been
limited by agreement to 10 minutes for
each speaker on each reservation.
The Republican irreconcilables, com.
bining with the Democrats, overturned
on the senate floor yesterday the plan
of Republican leaders to attach to the
peace treaty a general declaration of A
merican policy toward future European
wars
The declaratory reservation which
would pledge the United States to re
gard with grave concern any threat to
Europe's peace or freedom, was voted p
to SO after the irreconcilabes had tried
in vain to amend it. Intended as an off
set to the reservation denying the obi
cations of Article 10, the proposal had
been expected by the Republican leaders
to attract many Democratic votes, but on
| the rollcall only two senator's on the
Democratic side supported it.
| The senate soon after meeting rejected
AS to 81 a reservation presented by Sen
ator Reed, Democrat of Missouri which
would reserve to the United States fol
decision questions affecting tits national
honor or it's vital interests. The senate
| then defeated another reservation by Sen
ator Reed providing that the United
States would refuse to assume any obll
CATION to employ in military or nava
| forces it's resources or any form of eco
nomic discrimination under any article
! of the league covenant.

THROUGH TRAFFIC
ON STREET CARS
Car Covered Entire Length of Road
Late Yesterday Afternoon for First
Time Since March 5.


Through traffic on the Brattleboro
street railway line was resumed late
Yesterday afternoon. Portions of the
track had been impossible since the
storm of Friday night, March 3, when
rain followed by snow blocked the
track the entire length of the route.
1t is possible today to maintain the
regular schedule.
Workmen of the company and volun-
teers have worked many hours shovel
ing and picking out the ice, and on
March 10 it was possible for West
Brattleboro residents to ride as far as
the corner of Oak and High streets.
Work was then relinquished on the Oak
street section of the track and taken up
on the south end of the line in order
to give persons in that section of the
town equal privileges of riding.
On Sunday many volunteers were able
to clear the tracks down Canal street
and up Main street to the foot of High
street near the town hall building, and
this week work was resumed on the
central section of the road. Yesterday
morning the West Brattleboro ear was
able to run as far as the common and
in the afternoon the first ear to go the
entire length of Main street since March
) came from the southern terminus and
at 5.l5 o'clock passed serenely to the
common and thence to the western
terminus.

Rumor Of Suicide.

LONDON, March lS.-Rumors are
current in Berlin that Dr. Wolfgang
Kapp, head of the reactionary govern
ment set up in Berlin last Saturday
and whose resignation was announced
yesterday had committed suicide, ac-
cording to despatch to the Exchange
Telegraph company from Amsterdam.
The reports were received by telephone
in Amsterdam from the German capital.
Kappist troops are withdrawing from
Berlin and forces commanded by Spart-
acan leaders are expected to attack the
city at any time. A consolidation of
all parties to fight Bolshevism has been
formed, only the Independent Socialists
not being included.
Elections will be held no later than
June, according to dispatches from
Stuttgart
President Ebert arrived in Berlin
last night, according to a telephone mes
sage received by the Amsterdam cor,
respondent of the Exchange Telegraph
company from the German capital
President Ebert has ordered the inn
perial court at Leipsic to bring action
against the leaders of the revolution

ASSOCIATED Press.)

The collapse of the reactionary die
tatorship in Berlin has been quickly
followed by the resumption Of author
ity on the part of the old government.
Its chief task for the moment, it APP
pears, will be to deal with the disor-
dered condition which the Spartacans
are endeavoring to prolong for their
own purposes. Dispatches stating that
Minister Of Defense Noske, the strong
arm of the constitutional regime, was
back on the scene in Berlin, have been
followed by reports that President
Ebert also had returned to the capital
Pending his return the vice premier of
the Bauer cabinet took over the direc-
tion Of affairs relinqushed by Dr. Kapr
when he gave up his efforts to estab
lsh a new government.
There are reports current in Berlin
that ex-Chaneellor Kapp had commit
ted suicide, but these so far lack con
frmation. His prosecution together
with that of other leaders of the reac
tionary movement, is said to have beer
ordered by President Ebert

the rest, aside from eolors, but was de-
cidedly artistic
