Lady Astor Denies Story
Of Collusion in Divorce
Recounts Marital Dissolution i'm
1903 i'm Answer to Attacks
by Newspapers

PLYMOUTH, England, July s.-Lady
Astor, M. F., took occasion to-day to
recount all the circumstances of her
divorce in 1903, with view, as she ex-
pressed it. to rebutting charges printed
in London newspaper last May. She
was addressing her constituents at the
annual meeting of the Unionist Asso-
ciation. She denied emphatically that
there was any collusion in the case.
Lady Astor declared she had con-
fidence that the electors had trusted
her, but said it was due them to know
all the facts SO they could Judge
whether she still deserved their con-
fdence.
'It is painful duty to revive these
old troubles and sorrows" said Lady
.Astor, "but there art indications that
certain influences which often lead to
corruption in politics are trying to
undermine my position. 1t will be for
you to decide whether you will allow
this campaign to succeed"
A resolution was adopted unani-
mously expressing condemnation of the
newspaper attack and assuring Lady
Astor of the electors "unbounded es-
teem and confidence"

litigants have little confidence in the
power Of the court.
For the same reason it is alleged
that Unionists are appealing to the
Sim Fein lower courts. One Union
ist attorney is credited with saying
that it was useless to take case be-
fore the crown court, and that as his
client desired quick action he took the
case to Sim Fein tribunal.
In many parts Of the provinces Sim
Feiners have taken over control of

to saloons regarding the hours of clos
ing. Sim Fein pickets have been ef-
fective in stopping Sunday drinking by
checking up bona fide travellers who
are entitled under the law to drink.

it has been made regular by code
issued to license holders by which they
may be open only from 8 O'Clock in the
morning until 9 at night, and which
prohibits the selling of liquors on Sun
day or church holidays.
Among the recent activities of the
Sim Feiners has been the attendance
of volunteers to keep order at the rae
ing meetings. Here they have coerced
the disorderly element and captured
persons who refused to pay bets. The
volunteers turned up to perform these
Offices at Bellewstown, but the mill
tary appeared there to check them.
The military officers commanded the
volunteers to disperse and surrender
their armlets. on which were inscribed

of the armlets were surrendered, to-

CHICAGO, July 9.-Lieutenant Carl
Wanderer in new confession which
the states attorney gave out tonight
admitted he shot and killed his wife
to get rid of her and get possession
Of her money. He admitted, officers
said, that he planned Framed up"
robbery with the man he killed on
the same occasion in the doorway of
their home.
He was also quoted as saying that
he had "tired Of married life and de-
cided to return to the free life of the
army"
Wanderer denied, the states attor-
ney said, that he knew the accom-
plice whom he shot to death. The
tragedy occurred on the night of June
2l,
Is Second Alleged Confession
This was the second alleged confes-
sion by the former army lieutenant
announced to-day. In the first he was
said to have contested that he fired
the shots which killed his wife and the
stranger.
Wanderer declared in his first con-
fession that the shooting of his wife
was accidental, and maintained that
the stranger whom he killed had at
tempted to rob them.
He explained the withdrawal of
$1,000 by his wife from bank by
saying that they wished to have it in
an institution nearer home. He said
she drew it out of the bank on Sat-
urday too late to. consnmmate the
transfer and placed it~in bureau

cording to that confession, man came
out of an alley and followed them up
stairs, saying: "Fork over the money

pocket and started shooting" Wan.
derer was quoted by the officials as
saying. "The second shot | believe
hit my wife. I fired ten shots and
when both guns were empty put them
beside the man. Later took one gun
away and left the other there"
: Clever Work by Detectives
Wanderers admission that he killed
the woman is said to have been
brought about by a clever piece Of de-
tective work. Detective Sergeant John
Lotus ordered the affair be thoroughly
investigated. He said he did not see
how two men could exchange ten shots
in a darkened vestibule and one of
them come out unscathed. He later
arrested Wanderer after the pistol
found lying beside the ragged stran-
ger" was discovered to belong to him.
To-day before a small crowd in the
States Attorneys Office he is said to
have reenacted his latest version of
the way the shooting occurred. 1t was
his seventeenth story of the affair.
derer was tentatively identified tonight
as William North, who in 1911 or 1912
was employed by the Gentry Brothers
circus while at South Bend, Ind. The
partial Identification was made by a
former circus employee.

DUBLIN, July 9.-In the Sim Fem
publication "The Irish Bulletin" IS
sued tonight, is story OF alleged
insubordination among the Irish con-
stabN,lary and the reported impending
importation of English police, whose
advent is to be accompanied by martial
law and other extreme measures.
According to the statements, contir-
nation of which cannot be obtained,
the Royal Irish Constabulary at Lis
towel, County Kerry, were ordered on
June II to hand over their barracks to
the soldiers. The constabulary refused
and fourteen members resigned, but the
designations were not accepted.
Mr.. Smith, division commissioner for
Munster, arrived the next day and ad-
dressed the men, telling them, among
other things, that martial law in the
whole of Ireland was to be established
Immediately; that as many troops as
were required would come, besides the
1000 English police. These were to
be given the power to shoot freely all
suspected persons and would not be
punished, and hunoer strikers, the
statement says he auded. would be al

Guns and troops are going north

WARSAW, July 9 (By The Associ-

have broken through the Polish lines
south of the Dvina River in a drive
designed to overrun Lithuania and
form a contact with East Prussia, ac-
cording to an official statement issued
here Thursday night.
The Soviet army is using infantry,
cavalry, artillery, airplanes and tanks
and the Poles are fighting desperately
to check the advance along the north
ern front, against which the enemy is
throwing crack divisions.
On the southern front General Bu-
denny is advancing on Lemberg, which
is but 180 miles from Warsaw.
Poland Addresses Allies
The Foreign Office announced that
the government had forwarded a note
to the conference in Spa declaring
that Poland is now, just as before and
always, ready and willing to make a
peace based upon the principle of self

American Wool
Mills Closed:
10000 Idle
All but Three Factories of
the Company's Big Chain
Through New England
and New York Affected
Workers Quit Lawrence
w. NJ. Wood, President of
Firm, Blames Railroad
Tie-Up and Prosecutions
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

Special Dispatch to The Tribune
BOSTON, July 9.-Many mills of the
American Woolen Company throughout
New England and in New York State
suspended activities indefinitely to-day
in the first great reaction from the
wartime rush which has fallen upon
American industry.
More than 100000 workers are thrown
into idleness and the exodus Of mill
operatives from the textile centers has
already begun in great tide. Hdn-
dreds of employees of mills in Law
renee, including whole families. have
left the city during the last few weeks
as work slackened. The closing of the
mills was signal for thousands more
to leave.
Only three of the American Wooden
Company's mills escape the general
shutdown These will close early in
August, William M. Wood, president
of the company, believes. They are
the Puritan Mills, at Plymouth; the
Beoli Mill, at Fitchburg, and the Globe
MILL at Utica, N. Y.
OAly OLlCc 1OICcS anu operatives
needed for cleaning up reported this
morning in the other mills. These few
operatives, after handling the cloth
which was off the looms yesterday,
also will be laid off. The Office help
will remain.>
American Woolen Company mills
only are involved thus far. Other
mills at Lawrence have been working
to full capacity, or nearly so.
One result of the widespread "vaca-
tion" was a rush of skilled and un-
skilled workers to Boston and other
cities. The condition in the wool
trade is believed to be partly RESPONSE
BILE for the fact that since the first Of
this year 4,341 New Englanders have
obtained passports, as compared with
1,715 in the corresponding period last
year.
Many of the older workers, far from
feeling the pinch of necessity, now
that their wages have been cut off, are
taking their families to the beaches
and summer resorts, paying their ex-
penses on money saved from their high
wages of the last few years.
As result of the layoff the rent
situation in the textile centers has
been greatly relieved. The real estate
market, which has ben booming, has
slumped.
Mr.. Wood attributed the forced shut
down of his mills to freight congestion
and the action of the Department of
Justice in bringing charges of profteer-
ing against the company. These in
dictments, he asserted, were unjust,
but caused many cancellations Of
orders.
