Scott and Marjorie Discover a Ghost

Hadley and Helen Hawton had been
promised Halloween party for weeks.
At last the evening of the party came
Hadley and Helen were not usually al
lowed to have evening parties, but as
everyone knows, COLLINS and ghosts and
grinning spooks sleep in the day time
and come out for their revels at night.
And Halloween of all nights-Well it goes
without saying that Halloween party
must be in the evening.
One by one, and two by two and in
threes and tours, the guests came and
then the games started.
While bobbing apples was causing
great laughter and noise and splashing
and fun on the back porch Scott and Mar

Hadley and Helen and who wanted more

lantern, hung above the fireplace like
a helmet and headpiece of armor in an

16-YEAR-O[D GIRL
IS BROUGHT INTO
WANDERER CASE
Slayer of Wife Denies He
Wished to Be Free on Young
WOman'S Account.

CHICAGO, July IA theory that
Carl Wanderer shot and killed his
wife and . hired "robber" because OF
his interest in sixteen -year-old girl
was being investigated to-day by the
police. Confronted with tho girl In his
cell, Wanderer for the first time since
his arrest lost composure momentarlly,
but firmly denied the girl had had any
influence on his desire to be free. In
one Of his statements to the police
Wanderer had said he shot his wife
so he could return to the army and be
free EOm the care OF his wife and the
baby they expected next month.
The girl, Julia Schmitt, told the
police she had known Wanderer some
time and had gone to an amusement
park with him several times, but did
not know he was married. She was
not held, as the police announced after
questioning that they were convinced
she had no knowledge Of the murder
plot which was carried out in the
lobby Of Wanderers apartment June
II.
Wanderer to-day maintained his
calm attitude in regard TO the mur-
ders and talked of his dead wife
without emotion.
The Identification OF the hired rob
ber" as John ]. Maloney Of River
Point r. l., was further supported to-
day by John Welland. clerk at a hotel
where Maloney had stayed three days
just before he was slain and had reg
istered under that name.

RUTLAND, VT, July 12.--Gov. Per
cival w. Clement to-day issued q
proclamation refusing to call this
Legislature in special session to make
possible ratification OF the Fedora
amendment for Woman Suffrage.
During a recent conference Senator
Harding is understood to have asked
Gov. Clement to call an extra session
for the purpose of having a vote or
the Suffrage amendment
Gov. Clements's proclamation as.
serted that "as it stands and is in.
terpreted by the Supreme Court to-
day, the Federal Constitution threat
ems the foundation Of free popular
government"
Tho Seventeenth Amendment
to the Constitution, he said,
"had been lobbied through Con-
gross and State Legislatures by
Federal Agents, and the
Eighteenth had been forced
through by powerful and ire
sponsibIe organizations, operating
through paid agents.
"It 10 now proposed ito force
through the Nineteenth Amend
ment for woman suffrage in the
same manner and also without
the sanction of the Freemen.
'T have been asked to overlook
these considerations as a matter OF
party expediency. but this is a mat
ter OF principle, not expediency, and
the party that invades a well-estab-
lished principle of popular govern
ment will suffer in the end.
''The provisions for changes in the
Federal Constitution TO which, we
Vermonters are loyal subscribers are
in conflict with those laid down ir
the Constitution of Vermont. The
Federal Constitution provides thai
proposals. for change therein shall, Il
favorable action is taken thereon by
the Congress, be submitted TO the

This decision leaves the people al
