CONFESSES MURDER Of
TWO IN FAKE HOLD-UP
Army Lieutenant at Chicago
Clears Up Crime Which
Puzzled Police.
By Associate ted Press TO Every Evening

BY Associated GreSs 20 Every Evening
Chicago, July 10-Lieutenant Carl
Wanderer yesterday confessed he fired
the shots which killed his wife and a
stranger in the vestibule of his apart
ments several weeks ago, according to an
announcement from the State attorney S
Office.
Lieutenant Wanderer, In new con-
fession which the States attorney gave
out last night. admitted he shot and
killed his wife to get rid of her and get
possession of her money. He admitted,
officers said, he planned Crane up"
robbery with the man he killed on the
same occasion in the doorway of their
home. He was also quoted as saying he
had tired Of married life and decided to
return to the easy life of the army"
Wanderer denied, the States attorney
said, he knew the accomplice whom he
shot to death. The tragedy occurred on
the night of June 81.
ut is one of the most cold blooded and
revolving crimes in Chicago's history"

One of the anomalies of the case which
misled the police for weeks was the ro-
nance of the couple. Wanderer, who had
never smoked, chewed, drank or indulg-
ed in slang. had but one love affair. the
one with Ruth Johnson, who became his
wife In war romance.
'1She was the only girl ever kissed"
he said. al took her to ch ureh every Sum
day"
Formal charges of murder were prepared
today by States Attorney Maclay Hoyne
to be preferred against Wanderer.

NJ 'ADOO DEMANDS A
NEW CAMP PA|CN Law
Would Make Private Contribu-
tions to Presidential Pri-
mary Illegal.

New York, July 1O.-William Gibbs
McAdoo, former secretary of the Treasury
who made a speech before the League OF
Masonic Clubs at the Waldorf Thursday
urged the enactment by Congress of legis-
lation which would make it crime to
subscribe or use a cent of private funds
in Presidential primary or election and
would provide money for legitimate
expenses out of the National Treasury
There is one thing that Americans
will never stand for, he said, "and that
is the purchase of the Presidency Of the
United States. They will never let the
time come when the dollar sign will become
everything"
Mr.. McAdoo said that, as an officer
of the Democratic National Committee
in 1912 and later as Secretary Of the Trea-
sury, he had learned by experience tina,
those who make large contributions do
not usually make them from unselfsh
motives.
IF a contributor to national campaign
were able to obtain the remission of a
fraction of one cent on the duty on a
particular article in which he was inter
ested, he might receive in return for his
campaign contribution ten times, fifty
times, possibly even one thousand times
the amount he had subscribed.
Mr.. McAdoo asserted that the Presi-
dental primaries In various States during
the recent campaign were a disgrace TO
the nation and he called for vigor in the
investigation of primary expenses and
primary methods by the Senate Com
mittee at Washington.
Another idea urged by Mr.. McAdoo
was that the national conventions should
nominate, not by two-thirds vote as in
the Democratic Convention, nor by n
majority vote as in the the Republican,
but by plurality only, MIR. MoAdoo did
not in this part of his speech or IN any
other refer TO his own recent experiences
or specific cases of any kind.
In order to make the plurality method
a proper kind of selection, however, he
SAID that it would be necessary first 10
purify national politics by driving the
bosses out of power.
The nominee must be the nominee
of the people. not of the bosses, he said.
The nominee of the future must not
be the selection of bossed convention
The delegates must really represent the
people, so that the candidate can 90
forward and make fight for the people.
There is no greater menace to Ameri-
ca today, he said, than the corrupt and
improper use of money In elections
This thing of financing the national
election by the profiteering interests or
even by the contributions of citizens is
utterly wrong and improper"

A ROMANCE NIPPED

Romances may sometimes develop
at movie show-and sometimes
they get nipped in the bud. This
happened at The Alamo one night
recently. THE NEWS man took a
seat behind a young man who sat
behind young woman and an elder
ly companion who was perhaps her
mother. Everything seemed to go
on about normally until the young
man in front suddenly kicked the
foot of the young woman in front
of him.
Evidently she did not resent it,
and he, perhaps thoughtlessly, did
not take the trouble to remove his
foot. And then the girl did one Of
those original things so characteris-
tic of women. She produced a
handbag with mirror attachment,
and, while ostensibly powdering her
already lily-white nose, she glanced
in the mirror to see what the modern
Romeo behind looked like.
Whether she was satisfied with
the picture in the mirror could not
be determined. but evidently she
was, because her elderly compan-
ion, evidently or possibly her moth
er, getting suspicious, told the
young lady to put on her hat, and
they departed Thus the romance
ended. $500 -

STATE EXPERIMENT STATION
TOBACCO REPORT.

The range Of tobacco prices for all
classes of tobacco raised in Kentucky
is higher than at any time except at
the opening of the market and to-
bacco is being brought to market in
greater volume than at any time
during the season. One noticeable
feature, however, is taking place;
the finer types of tobacco are either
holding their price level or increas-
ing in value while the poorer grades
ere settling to lower levels.
There is large quantity of COM
mon types of tobacco still to be mar
keted and the preponderance Of this
type is likely to break the market
sometime during the coming month.
The following is a quotation from
Tobacco, an English tobacco jour-
nal:
Despite THE threat of dearer to-
bacco and cigarettes in the New
Year, stocks were never larger, and
shipments of tobacco leaf has been
suspended at Liverpool owing to the
enormous stocks held in the bonded
warehouses. The Liverpool repre-
sentative of Tobacco states that the
total value of the raw material at
the port reaches 100000 pounds
approximately $S6,400,000.) The
stock there has increased from co.
900 to 10000 hogsheads, and the
duty on each is $50 pounds All the
bonded warehouses in London, Glas-
gov, and Bristol also are full"
