WANDERER, AS
GALLOWS LOOMS,
DENIES GUILT
Nan Who SEelU Ragged
Stranger Issues Last State
n1ent Before Execution.

CHICAGO, July 2S.-Carl Wandered who
is to be hanged tomorrow for the muir
der Of the Ragged Stranger" has is
sued q thirteen page statement in which
he protests his innocence. He declared
himself ready to die for the people for
whom I fought in the war" asked that
the gaIlows be draped with the Amer
lean flag, and insisted that he did not
know the identity Of his victim.
The crimes for which Wanderer was
twice convicted were the killing of his
wife, Ruth, who was about to become
q mother, and a youth whom he first
claimed was a robber and later ad-
mitted was just a poor boob" whom
he had hired to stage q fake hold up
in order to cover up the killing Of his
wife.
DEATH VOTED
AT SECOND TRIAL.
Wanderer was first tried for the mur-
der Of his wife, and the jury found him
guilty, but sentenced him TO twenty
years imprisonment A second trial
and he was sentenced TO be hanged for
the murder Of the poor boob" His at
torneys failed il an attempt TO have him
adjudged insane
Wanderers latest statement says:
With Ruth as my witness, I am in
nocent of this crime that the State OF
Illinois claims I have confessed freely
and voluntarily.
IF I have been an offender and com
mitted anything worthy Of death. I fear
not to die. By making i confession
against myself and placing all the blame
upon myself. the people rose up against
me for something I never done in truth,
but in words only.
TALKS OF
FALSE TESTIMONY.
Il would like anybody to show that
Ruth and myself were not at all times
happy. The State admits they have no
motive. = order 10 condemn me they
had TO manufacture false testimony.
am TO blame for listening to their theory
OF the crime and signing my name to a
so-ealled confession, but I could not do
otherwise after being kept for three DAYS

near future I viii be cleared Of Ruth's

One police officer suggested TO me that

Of q condemned criminal.

After signing the latter be adds the fol-
lowing postscript:

very much but he. isn't SO anxious to

Fun and feathers are the outstand-
ing features of the new millinery
modes. Unusual brim shapes and high
crowns are typical of the new sea-
sons styles. The short front and back
with the long sides is a popular
shape. and the long sides are usually
dropping with a feather or ornament
of some kind trailing down milady's
cheek.
Here is a smart little chapeau,
however. which features the off-the-
face brim. It is designed for wear
with the fur coat or fur-trimmed suit.
Karakulam, a, fur fabric resembling
broadtail, fashions the hat which
turns up abruptly in the front. A pom
pom of monkey fur with a pearl or

~ in the front, giving a smart trim

hat. Although very smart, the hat has
an unusually youthful look.

travel across the boundaries into Ger many involves an endless making of declarations.
 It is almost impossible under pres ent conditions for tourists to travel on a fixed schedule in Central Europe especially if their trip necessitates the crossing of boundaries. Passport of fices are frequently crowded. Much time is lost in getting vises, and trains have interminable waits at customs stations.
 Through trains are now operating between Paris and Warsaw, which make the rail trip to Poland and the Baltic states fan easier than it has been since the armistice. Trains will soon be run from Berlin to Riga, Latvia- Barring passport annoyances, travel is almost normal between Ser lin and Prague and Berlin and Vii enna.
 There are no fast boat trains now between Berlin and Hamburg and Berlin and Bremen, such as existed between the war.
 The great German steamship lines cooperating with American lines now operate touring companies of their own which are prepared to con duct parties throughout Germany at a fixed price, including hotel accommo- carriages. The rates are higher than before the war, even taking the fla vorable American exchange into con sideration.
 since the dfn1lsuce there nave been few American tourist parties in Ger many on regularly conducted tours. The great tourist agencies have not been able to guarante fixed rates be- cause of the wild fluctuation in ex- change and the general disruption of the organizations through which ar engagements were perfected in pre-war days.
 An effort is being made by steam ship lines, hotel proprietors and rail- way officials to get American tourist business back on a fixed basis, but the failure of the United States to make peace with Germany has been a great hindrance to such negotiations.

POOR TOURIST FACILITIES IN
 RHINELAND

l Berlin, April 22-American tourists 1 who come to Germany this summer
 will find conditions of travel far less | attra ctive than in pre-War times. In l Hamburg and Berlin hotel facilities are constantly oVertaxed by business l men and even persons who have tele- graphed days in advance for accom- modations are turned away by the ' first class hotels. If foreigners are assigned to rooms they pay far more | than is charged to Germans. Conditions along the Rhine are not especially inviting for tourists. The 1 larger places are oVertaxed by the | occupied armies, and it is almost inn possible for outsiders to get flrst-ciass hotel accommodations. Cologne, Coo- lenz, and Mainz are filled to over flowing by British, American and French officers, respectively. Most of the hotels are under control of the military and cannot be used by civil ians unless they have authorization from commanding officers.
 It is also difficult for tourists to travel between the various sections or the occupied area. Police registration is very strict and permits must be ob- tained to enter and leave VarlouS areas.
 In South Germany conditions are more inviting to pleasure-seekers. Dresden and Munich are not so filled with business men and the better ho- tels are unusually able to provide tourists with rooms at rates much less than in Berlin and Hamburg.
 The passport problem is annoying even within Germany's own boundar- ies. For example, it is necessary for a tourist going from Berlin to Ba- varia to have the wise of the Bavarian legation in Berlin. This precaution has been taken by Bavaria to prevent red agitators from invading their ter ritory from Berlin.
 Trains are normal in Germany. Bread cards are necessary to get bread in dining cars and hotels and most of the bread served is heavy and black.
 In the smaller cities and villages tourists will find living conditions much the same as they were before the war. Americans motoring through Germany or travelling on trains are courteousIy treated There Is no longer any disposition to resent the use of the English language.
 So far this year there have been few Americans in Germany excepting business men and persons who came to visit relatives. Most of these found the passport regulations very irksome. Tourists arriving at Dutch, Belgian, French or English ports suffer delays in getting vises for Germany, and

 PRINCE IS POETRY

 Tokfo, April 22-An incident con- nected with the departure of the Crown Prince of Japan for foreign lands Is not generally known, but now carefully filed away in the archives of the State Department in Washing ton, occurred at the Alaska Palace in To11io a few days before His Highness left.
 The Prince was giving a farewell banquet for the heads of the various embassies and legations in Tokio and after a banquet which will long be remembered a marvel for beauty and excellent food, the ambassadors. ministers and charges stood outside the Princes private room awaiting g for the coveted short informal con- versaion which they were to have with the future Emperor of Japan. Sir Charles Eliot, Ambassador from Great Britain: Basil Krupenski, Am bassador from Russia (the Russian Government Is recognized by Japan) and numerous others ranking as am bassadors had had their few moments of informal conversation.
 MT. Edward Bell. American Charge d'Anaires. ranking Charge, was among the last to enter. It was known thaIt the Crown Prince talked little English and that his usual top les were Do you like Tokio ?' Are ry blossom season or some other subject of passing importance. These topics had been taking less than five ulinuHeS for discussion, and for that reason, when MT. Bell remained with the Prince five minutes, then ten, the waiting ambassadors and ministers fidgeted. 'Is he signing a new treaty, starting a war or what ?'' was the re- mark made by one of the older mem- bers of the Corps Diplomatique--
 Poetry, Not War.
 Quite naturally, therefore, when MT. Bell came out he was asked numer- ous questions as to the length of time he had conversed with the Grown Prince. When he replied that the garding the poetry Of Mrs. Charles Burnett. wife of the Military Attache of the American Embassy, his hearers were aa-ounded.
 Mrs. Burnett ranked high in the New Year poetry contest held by the Imperial household. She was sum-
 noned numerous times to the former death and wns rem emb bered in the will of tho Empress when she died Her poem, And You Shall Walk There .n," written on tho occasion of the Princes departure for Europe, and sent from Japan to all Of the coun- tries included on the imperial trip, has created much favorable comment in court circles.
 So when MT. Bell entered he was not greeted by n formal Crown Prince. instead, without introductory remarks His Highness said. Have you read Mrs. Burnetts poems?'
