Saw Wanderer After

RAGGED HOBO" CIRCUS MAN

CHICAGO, July 12.-The real mo-
tive of Carl Wanderer, former army
lieutenant, in plotting the shaving OF
his wife, his unborn child, and der
elic af the streets he hired to pose
as a highwayman, was declared by
the police today to have been the in
fatuation of Wanderer for Julia
Schmitt, a sixteen-year-osd } girl.
POSED As SINGLE MAN.
Evidence given the police by the
Chicago Herald and Examiner, in
cluding a love letter written to the
girl after Wanderer had consum-
mated his double crime, showed he
had been making love to her for sew
eral months, posing as an unmarried
man.
In the letter written after the slay-
ing, Wanderer invited Julia to keep
a clandestine appointment with him,
adding:
THE reason I do not call at your
house is that people would talk about
me. Julia, put yourself in my shoes
and see IL l am not right"
In a statement made to the police,
Julia Schmitt admitted a friendship p
with Wanderer, but said she had
been much hurt on learning, through
newspaper stories Of the murder, that
he was a married man. She accepted
his attentions afterwards, however
going to an amusement park with
him one one occasion.

feet, public notice. to the landlords
Of Washington that the District gov

a c6mpls1nt submitted to President
Wilson by the rent commissioners
and asking him to settle the con-
|troversy which has grown out Of the
disputed possession of Eagle Hut.
BROwNLOw CALLS TUMULTY.
| District Commissioner Brownlow,
| who, in disregard for the ruling Of
| the Rent Commission, served notice
| last week on the city postmaster that
it was the District governments in
tention to raze Eagle Hut, August l,
| this morning communicated with the
White House and inquired as to what
| action could be taken to settle the
present argument. Secretary Tum-
| ulty told him to file the District Com
| missioners' side of the controversy
with the President for his considera-
ton, as the Rent Commission had
done.
When the District Commissioners
last week served notice on the City
Postmaster that he must vacate the
temporary postoffice in Eagle Hut, in
spite of the ruling of the rent COM
mission to the contrary, the City Post
| master asked Commissioner Brownlow
whether he was to understand that
the District Commissioners, because
Of their attitude. held the Ball rent
act unconstitutional. Although this
question was never answered by
Brownlow in his letter to the City
Postmaster, reference was made to
the Court of Appeals holding the Ball
act unconstitutional.
TEXT OF COMPLAINT,
According to an announceent from
the White House this morning. the
communication of the rent commits
sioners to the President stated:
"The only conceivable ground for
such action as the District Commits
| sioners threaten is the assumption
that the Rents Act is unconstitu-
| tional, and that the determinations
| of the Rent Commission are abso-
lutely void. Only on that hypothesis
could the District Commissioners con-
| ceivably undertake to disposses the
City Postmaster after the rent COM
mission has determined that he is In
| lawful possession. If that determine
| ton be wrong, the District Commits
sioners have an adequate remedy In
their appeal now before the Court of
Appeals.
THE decision of that court in the
case mentioned above is not self
executing in other cases. and while
inferior courts may see At to follow
It, even before final determination by
the Supreme Court of the United
/ States, manifestly 1t is not competent
for litigants-whether administrative
| officers or others-to take the law
into their own hands and, without
any judicial process, forcibly eject
| persons whom the Rent Commission
has adjudged to be lawfully in pos
session.
"This position OF the District Com
missioners, moreover. Is in sharp con-
trast with that of the executive de-
partments of the Federal Government.

continues with new enthusiasm the

is proved by the report OF the

NORTH HSTART GLARE
 SHIELDS FOR CITY

The city of Phoenix is using North Star glare shields on it's motor cars and finds them entirely satisfactory, ac- cording to an announcement made yes terday. The lens which meets every requirement. of the Phoenix ordinance, has been giving complete satisfaction on the cars which are being used by the city.
 The North Star glare shield aims only that part of the light which slares in the face of an approaching driver, but will allow the rays from two sides of the reflector to pass through un obstructed.
 When the lamps are tipped slightly downward so that the center rays fall on the road the two open sides of the reflector will not throw glaring rays in the face of those approaching from the opposite direction.
 McArthur Brothers, distributors for the North Star in Phoenix maintain a service station where the lenses are adjusted and focused.

the work of two of the usual. horse drawn outfits. One can now dispense with the horse on the farm almost en- tirely. for row cultivating is about the last job on the farm in which old Dobin has not been replaced by motor power. Horseless cotton crops are now a reality in every cotton growing section of the southwest.
 Besides laying out the land with a lister attachment. planting and cul- tivating. one can do many other kinds Of work with this motor cultivator. With the cultivator gangs removed and the draw bar attached, the machine can be used a light tractor for pulling different implements for less than the cost of doing this kind of work with horses. More than this, the cultivator has a belt pulley and is used by many ranchcrs to drive a pump, wood saw, grinder. etc.
 Who can tell that in the years to come horses in the fields will be as scarce as they are now getting to be on the nations highways?
