9'BLUEBEARD" CLAIMS TO
BE GENTLE AS A DOVE"
Frenchman Cool and Cynical
Under Charges of Numbering
Wives for Their Property.

Paris, July 30.--Q. N. S.)-The chair
of evidence which the state is forging
against Henri Landru, the modern
French "Bluebeard" was strengthened
today when medical experts reported Ia
the French courts that they had dis
covered proof that three persons, prob
ably women, had ben cut up and
burned in Landru's villa at Cambais.
Landru was originally accused OF
wives" or ''fiancees" for their prop
erty. He was arrested more than n
year ago, but despite the vigorous and
ceaseless investigation OF the police
they were unable to gather evidence
sufficiently strong TO put him on trial
for his life
The prisoner has maintained n cool
and cynical air under examination.

Kansas Women Put Candidates
On Rack; Ask Each to Explain
Speech May Be Splendid but Office Seeker Finds His Trap Wher
the Voters League Starts Its Line Of Questions.

Wichita, KaEn., July 30,.-The women
of Wichita have established a prece-
dent In politics for oil the women oil
the state to follow TO good advantage.
The women OF Wichita are not going
bilndfolded. They propose to know
something about the candidates who are
running for office before they vote for
them.
The women here bave organized a
voters league, and It has a large mem
bership. Twice every week the league
holds open session and asks the candi-
dates 10 appear before the members and
explain their platforms After the cam
didate makes a speech which he has
carefully committed for campaign pur-
poses the women take him in hand for
a series OF very pointed and personal
questions.
The questions indicate grasp OF state
affairs which would put good many
OF the men voters to shame, and 1t
finds some OF the candidates utterly uh-
prepared TO answer.
Questions "cet" Them.
For instance, at the meeting OF the
league here yesterday one OF the candi-
dates for Representatives. in the legisla-
ture appeared and slater a number OF
reasons why he thought he should be
elected. He made n very good speech,
too. Then he paused for questions:
What do you know about the In
dustriai farm for women at Lansing?"
one OF the women asked.
why 'er, Well--not much, specifi-
cally," the candidate replied.
DO you favor the code commission
for children" another one asked.
II don't believe / understand your
question" tho candidate stammered
What about the mothers pension
law? Are you for making a mandatory
provision In the law?"
IT don't believe I understand what
You mean?" the candidate stammered
again. as he retired wiping the per-
SEPARATION from his brow.
One by one the candidates take their
turn and run the gauntlet. The boys
who are seeking office do not mind the
task OF making n speech before the
women--but those questions! How they
do dread them.

C. 0. P. MEMBERS
TO CAUCUS ON BONUS

Washington, Jan. 26.-Special
At a Republican House caucus in the
future-perhaps in the next fort
night decision will probably be
reached as to what policy the me-
jority party in that end of the
capitol will adopt as to the, difficult
question of bonus for the citizen
soldiers who served in the United
States military forces during the
great war.
One of the House majority lead
ers, in conversation with friends cn
the subject, said today that he be-
lieved the bonus question would have
to be settled soon, and that it would
be settled in the favor of the mon.
He expressed the opinion that jho
caucus would decide in favor CT
some such plan as a gift of 81 to
each man for each day in which he
had been in the military service, be-
ginning with the date on which he

was mustered in, and continuing un-
til the date of his discharge.
The principle underlying this plan
has been carried out by Canada,
which has granted a money gift to
each soldier in proportion to the
length of his service. This is con-
sidered by growing number of con-
gressional advocates of bonus as a
much fairer method, both from the
public and private point Of view.
than that of simply awarding a flat
gratuity of the same amount to each
man, whether he served the colors a
month or year.
When the Republicans have made
their decision as to bonuses, the
Democrats will have to face the sarn2
music. The Secretary of the Treas
ury has warned Congress of the fl
nancial danger of wholesale military
gratuities. but this is q Presidential
year and Congress is concerned
about the soldier vote.

FIRST SPRING CATALOGUE

The poet who writes of the beauti-
full Spring
Must wait for his theme till the first
brides sing,
Or the stormy hue of midwinter sky
Changes to suit his professional eye.
Must find pink arbutus deep down
in the wood;
Discover new gold in young crocus
bud.
Yea, in order to write his annual
rhyme,
He must see and hear-have proof
of the time.
But Spring comes to me when the
Winter winds blow,
When garden and wood are a great
fluff of snow;
When the sky is painted a battle
ship gray
And the birds are singing-down
Palm Beach way.
The old postman whistles and hands
it to me,
And all that it costs is a "perfhy
due" fee;
Yet I know when l tear off it's thin
disguise
The glory of Flora will blind my
eyes.
My first Garden Catalogue! Yes, it
is here.
It's gaudy, its wordy-not real art,
I fear;
But I pore DER its pages of riotous
bloom,
And soon, very soon, all Springs in
the room.
Fen, the logs on the hearth are
sending forth shoots
OF curly green leaflings and odorous
roots.
o. @a!'Fcraian Garnet is magic in
deed
: great bed of pansies now-"grown
from seed"
Convolvulous lacework twines table
and chair,
Shy wall flowers hide in the corn
ers there;
Delphiniums, roses, >sweet-scented
stock,
Carnations oXalis, starry-fr:nged
phlox,
All growing as pictured ON Page So
and So,
AS somehow I never can quite make
them grow
Except in the garden l plant on the
day
That the first Spring Catalogue
comes my way.

DEMOCRATS WIN
TILT WITH iIALE

Washington, Jan. 26.-Demo-
cratic opposition blocked action to-
day on the resolution introduced by
Senator Hale, Republican, Maine,
authorizing employment of legal
council and clerical assistance for
the subcommittee investigating
naval awards and the navy's con-
duct of the war. Senator Hale, who
is chairman of the subcommittee,
late today brought the resolution
before the senate for the third time
with the request for immediate con-
sideration. A threatened Democratic
filibuster, led by Senators Pittman
of Nevada land Walsh of Montana
caused him to withdraw the request
with the announcement that he
would make it again tomorrow. Sec
retary Daniels, who had been expect
ed to appear before the committee
Thursday notified Chairman Hale
today that it would be more con-
venient for him to begin his testi-
mony on Friday and next session
was set for that day.
Secretary Daniels made public to-
night a letter to Chairman Hale of

eating naval war decoration awards
