Wilson's Plans Dispose
OF Third Term Rumors

WASHINGTON, May 10.-The
story has come back to Washington
from brokers' offices in Wall Street
that President Wilson will exert all
his influence to bring about the
nomination at San Francisco of Will
liam Gibbs McAdoo. There is moth
ing in sight here that either confirms
or disproves the rumor. So far as
can be learned the President is pay
ing little attention to the plans for
the Democratic convention. The con-
vention hall will be connected with
the White House by telephone and
telegraph. That is usual, but no
attache of the White House will at
tend.
This fact, stated with authority, is
taken as answering the question
whether the President has any third
term intentions. If he was intending
to make a fight for the nomination
Secretary Tumulty and the whole
White House contingent would be on
the job.

BY GEORGE B. WATERS.
N. E. A. Staff CORRESPONDENT.

WASHINGTON, May 1O.-The
National Woman's Party has mapped
out it's program for the immediate
future, in the event Delaware COM
pletes ratification of woman suffrage.
The next step will be to get Louis
lana, North Carolina, Vermont and
Connecticut to ratify and make sure
that the loss of Ohio, in case of a
referendum in that state, would not
upset quick ratification.
The next thing on the program
will be to fight in the courts against
a referendum in Ohio, New Mexico
and Oklahoma, where the question
is up.
The third and important step will
be to get Congress to put through
a law putting the amendment into
effect. No state could disfranchise
women, even without the law, as it
would be unconstitutional. But the
women want Congress to set forth
in detail all the rights of women to
the ballot, with a penalty for anyone
who tries to interfere with their vot-
ing. With only the amendment in eff
feet their right to vote, in case some
state questioned it, would have to be
established by civil litigation.
The women expect some opposition
to this law. But they will keep on
the trail of Congress till it passes one.

G. 0. P. Candidate
Out On Wet Platform

NEW YORK, May 1O.-Dr. Mich
olas Murrah Butler, candidate for the
Republican presidential nomination,
has issued statement of his prin-
ciples, favoring among other things,
light wines and beer, and the princi-
pies underlying the Kansas Court of
Industrial Relations. This is the only
public statement that he will make
prior to the convention in June ac-
cording to j. R. Davies, manager of
the Butler campaign committee.
The statement sets forth II points
covering the subjects, which DIR. Bu.t-
Ter says urgently need attention.
These he says, are of three kinds:
First, those relations to the struc-
ture and functions of our govern
ment; second, those relating to our
domestic affairs, chiefly economical,
financial and industrial; and third,
those relating to international duty
and opportunity.

Grocer Who Fixes Own
Profits To Lose License

ATLANTA, May 10.-Failure of
merchants to comply with regula-
tions of the State Fair Price Com
mission limiting the profit on sugar
to two cents a pound wholesale and
three cents a pound retail will result
in revocation of their Federal IL
censes. Hooper Alexander, United
States district attorney, says the Ii
censing system is still in effect and
that under orders from Washington
he will see that it is enforced
At least six wholesale merchants
have been openly selling sugar at a
greater profit than allowed by the
commission, according to evidence
collected by the Department of Jus
tice under the direction of V. W.
Hughes, assistant superintendent.
Mr.. Alexander said licenses would
not be revoked summarily because of
these past violations if dealers ex-
pressed willingness to follow direc-
tions.

JEALOUSBRIDE
HALTEDCAREER
OF 'BLUEBEARD'
Woman Hurt Married
In 1919 Brought
About His Arrest
N. E. A. Staff Special.

SPOKANE, Wash, May 10
Woman's jealousy brought Richard
HURT to the end of his career as
'Bluebeard,' and her jealousy and
munger for vengeance will not be ap-
peased until final punishment is meted
out to the man who wronged her.
Miss Katherine Wambacker, whom
HURT married in Seattle in Novem-
Der, 1919, under the name of Harry
M. Lewis, is the nemesis who brought
him to justice.
HURT left her in Los Angeles while
he was absent on mysterious Journey
ings. She employed priva6e detec-
tive who caused Hurts arrest in con-
nection with the theft of Liberty
bonds. Then came the confession
and Miss Wambacker realized that
she was among the 20 to 30 women
deluded and defrauded by "Blue-e

She attached his bank account in
this city to make up for the savings
he had persuaded her to part with.

we're enough for him; he deserves the
worst that Imagination can devise"
said Miss Wambacker.
Mrs. Elizabeth Williamson married
HURT in Davenport, Wash, Aug. 2S,
1919. She knew him as Harry NJ
Lewis. She is in Los Angeles, and
while Miss Wambacker is doing
everything in her power to assist the
prosecution of HURT, Mrs Williamson
remains loyal to him.
Writing to friend in Spokane
she says:
"This is surely the worst blow of
my life. Coming at time when |
was so perfectly happy makes it all
the harder to bear. You can imagine
how l feel, for all said about him
l have found to be too true.
"Well, I'll say I've had seven
months of extreme happiness, and
with it all he's been lovely to me.
He has ben an ideal husband to me
and beautiful father to my daugh-
ter. In fact she loved him so much
that | had her name changed from
Williamson to Lewis.

sion operation was necessary to save
