GIRL BEGGED HIM TO
 KILL HER, DECLARES
 BOY, UNDER ARREST 
Anson Best is Held for Mur- der of 19-Year-Old
 Phone Girl

Pontiac, Mich, April 2S.-Anson Best, formerly of Flint, Mich., con- fessed early this morning according to Prosecutor Glenn c. Gillespie, that he killed Miss Vera Schneider, 19- year-old telephone operator, whose body was found early Sunday morn ing on the porch of an unoccupied dwelling.
 Best, according to the prosecutor. had been questioned turnout the night and broke down after being identified by workman as having been seen while washing his hands in the Clinton river near the scene of the crime few minutes after it's discovery.
 "She asked me to kill her," Best was quoted as saying. He even de- clared, according to the prosecutor, that he met Miss Schneider for the first time late Saturday night.
 The confession, MT. Gillespie de- clared, was made in the presence of a stenographer and several police of- ficers and gave no other reason than that Miss Schneider begged Best to end her life because she was tired of living and was "simply in the way of others" She even drew the handkerchiefs from his pockets and asked him to tie them to. gether and place them about her neck, Best was quoted as saying. The officers said Best told them that he complied but at first refused to. tie the handkerchief, she then begged him to do so.
 Continuing the statement quoted Best as saying he left the body and walked to the river nearby, where he washed his hands which had been slightly bloodstained from blood that came from the girls mouth. He retraced his steps to the place where the body already had been found by officers and when stopped by po- liceman even took searchlight, went to the porch and looked at the girls face.
 Best was released at that time, but was re-arrested Monday night after workman had told of seeing a man coming up from the river shortly after the body was discover ed.

 OTHER INDUSTRIES
So Says Secretary Meredith to the National
 Chamber

Not only that, but agriculture as an industry is in direct competition with other industries for capital and especially for labor Under present cond- tions farmers are losing in competi- tion for labor"
 Changes have been wrought in England by the war which "almost deserve the title of revolution" Sir Auckland Geddes, British ambassa- dor, said Vast new classes have been enfranchised. he said, and the working classes, strongly anti-ml- taristic, now hold ultimate political power
 Reports of ddissension between representatives of Britain and Farnce and France and Italy at San Reno are Fantastic" the ambassador as sured the chamber.
