DEATH L4AIMS SEN. KNOX
Did Innocent Man SerUe Years
For Numbering Girl Father Killed.?

Madison, Wis, Oct. 12,-(Spe-
cial. .)-Has John A. Johnson
served ten years of life sentence
for a murder that he did not COM
nit? Did Martin Lemberger, faith
er of Anna Lemberger, 8, slay her
on September 5, 1911, and remain
silent while johnson confessed"
to the murder and received a life
sentence?
Wisconsin officials are to find
out.
The recent application of J. A.
Johnson for a pardon from Wau-
pun penitentiary where he is serv-
ing a life sentence for the con-
fessed murder of Annie Lemberger
Sept. 5, 1911, took sensation ii
turn when Martin Lemberger,
the father of the child. was ar
rected for second degree murder;
his wife and son Lewis were ar
rested for perjury.
Mrs. May Sorenson, a friend of
the family, took the stand and said
that the day following the murder,
Lewis Lemberger, the son, then 9
years old, confessed to her that his
father had hit the child over the
head the night before; that the
body had been spirited to the base
ment and hid underneath a wash"
tub and that a colored man had
been paid $25, according to the
boy, to secrete the body out of the
house to the lake.
Saw Bloody Gown.
Then at the close of her testi-
mony she told how she had seen
the little bloodstained nightgown
worn by Annie, and how the
mother grabbed it from her and
burned it in a stove. Silence she
had maintained for ten years be-
cause Martin Lemberger had
threatened her with "choking"
should she ever reveal.
Throughout the sensational dis
closure Johnson, who has served
ten years in the penitentiary for
the crime, sat and gripped his
chair, his face a changing picture
of emotion as the tale was re-
vealed. Beside him sat his wife,
tired and worn. from taking in
\. ashing while he has been in
prison.
A final chance was given TO Mar
tin Lemberger, his wife and boy,
to make a statement when the
hearing was called. All stoutly
disclaimed any knowledge of Low
the murder occurred
Attracted National Attention.
Because of the peculiar cir
cumstances surrounding the death
of Annie Lemberger, national at
tention was attra cted to the case
at the time. The crime was COM
mitted on September 5, 1911. John
A. Johnson, who had already
served time for wife abandon
ment, was suspected, arrested, and
pleaded guilty on September IL,
1911, and was sentenced to the
state penitentiary for life. After

that he had never committed the
crime and has always declared his
innocence during the ten years of
his incarceration at the state pen
itentiary.

Johnson lived, one morning was

The McGraw men need but one
more victory to give them the
series and the big end of the

win tomorrow and a ninth game is
necessary, the Giants will be the
home team, the Yankees batting
first. This was decided in the
club house at the Polo grounds

The police suspected johnson
had committed the offense and he
was arrested. Johnson claims that
his pleading guilty came as a re-
suit of information conveyed to
him that the people of Madison
were thoroughly wrought up over
the case and that he might be
lynched any moment. He declares
he felt that by pleading guilty he
would be spirited out Of town and
thereby save his life.
Johnson has always claimed n
nocence. His family has main
tanned that he was home the night
of the crime. His record, however
was against him, because fifteen

Douglas Against Mays
Once more, and for the third
time, it was a case of Douglas
against Mays, and for the second
time the verdict went to Douglas.
"Shufflin Phil pitched masterful
ball, settling down after some
what uncertain time of 1t for the
first two innings, in the second
of which the Yankees scored their
only tally, and either turning the
American leaguers back in order
or skillfully foiling their valiant
attempts to put another run across
the plate. He was aided by won
derful support by his Giant team
mates, not fielding misplay be-
ing made on the Nationals side.

Neither side scored in the third,
but in the fourth the Giants tied
it up. With one out Young got
an infield hit off Wards glove. and
stole second as Kelly famed.

single to center which brought
Young home with the tying run.
The count remained in its tight
ly knotted state until the seventh
with its fatal break for the Yanks
and the Giants winning tally. Nc

Yankees only run, injured his
right shoulder lin sliding for Sec

Women's Clothing Plants
Inspection Regins To-day
Joint Board of Sanitary Control
Will Visit All Shops in
Annual Tour

The New York women's clothing in
dustry is to give itself thorough in
spection, from the standpoint of safety
and sanitation, beginning to-day, ON
behalf of the $4,000 workers employed
in this branch of garment manufacture.
Approximately 1000 lofts and other
shops, where milady's wearing apparel
is made, are to be included in the in
spection, which is in charge of the
Cloak, Suit, Shirt, Dress and Waist In
dustries.
The board is composed of representa-
tives of the manufacturers and the
trade unions CONCERNED, and three
representatives of the public, and in
the eleven years it has been in ex
istence has benefited the clothing
workers and improved their working
surroundings.
Annual inspection of the shops in
the industry is one of the most i'm
portant features of its work, and that
beginning to-day is its eleventh. Its
and will grade them into four divisions,
safety, health and sanitary standards
they find. Shops getting only D
classification will be reinspected weekly
thereafter.
The standards established are con-
siderably higher than the legal re-
quirements Of the labor and Are de-
partments, according to the board men,
bcrs.
DR.. George NJ. Price is director Of
the board. The three representatives
Of the public, who have served since
it's organization, are DR.. William Jay

ard also consider plans for having the
several states assist in meeting these
difficulties in unison"
In outlining his reasons for asking
such seton Senator Walsh wrote:
Some reports coming to me recently
from official government sources con-
corning the physical and financial con
dition of our New England railroads
Indicate an impending crisis in our
transportation system. Even In the
face OF extreme government assistance
the. roads seem to be on the verge of
economic breakdown
"You are doubtless aware that the
reputable banking houses have already
refused to make further financial adj
vances to at least one of the big New
England roads.
Even with greatly increased rates,
the railroads in New England are. not
able to hold their own and they have
already drawn out Of the government
revolving fund provided by recent leg
islation more than their proportionate
share, and in larger measure than the
roads Of any other section Of the coun-
try. It is doubtful If the government
will advance the more important New
England roads any moro money in
loans.
II may make bold to suggest that il
something Is not done at once We will
have to face one Of two alternatives:
either that of extending general aid,
implying, as it does, the collecting of
the necessary revenue to assist them
from our already overtaxed people,
which the national government and
private banking concerns refused, or
the very serious, indeed dubious, one
Of embracing some form Of state own
ership."

Credit Relief to Farms
To Be Available Soon
War Finance Corporation Near.
ly Ready to Begin Advancing
Billion.DOlIarF Fund

WASHINGTON, Sept. s. = Prepare
tons for advancing upward of billion
dollars in agricultural and livestock
credits under recent legislation Writ
ually have been completed by the War
Finance Corporation, officials said to-
night. The corporation probably will
be ready within the next week or SO
to function under it's enlarged powers
designed to- afford needed credit relief
to the farmers, it was said.
The corporations policy for financ-
ing advances, officials asserted, has not
yet been definitely decided. but it is
believed that little of the S40o, 200, 600
balance with the Treasury will be used
for agricultural credits.
Current operations of the corpora
ton in financing exports are being
carried on almost exclusively out of a
revolving fund automatically estab-
lished by the repayments being made
on the approximately $l00,0o0,oo0 in
advances now outstanding.

Wooden Trade Looks for
Return of $25 Suit

BOSTON, Sept. 3.---Members Of the
Boston wool trade are commenting on
the report from the retail trade that
the $40 suit for man does not appear
to be very popular at present and that
return to the $40 suit would be met
with much more favor. 1t is predicted
that in connection with meeting this
by dealers will not be made out of fine
wool for which extremely high prices
were paid. In order for them to have
any profit, they would be obliged to
make their purchases of clothing made
Of wool sold at half Of the lofty figures.
This, Of course, it is unreasonable to
expect in connection with goods manu-
featured from the very fine wools.. 1t
will be necessary for the wool to be
coarser for worsteds, all wool WOODEN
goods, or low woolens, and purchased
on a basis Of from 80 to IS cents, the
cost after it has been cleaned. II is
stated in the wool trade here that all
factors contributory to lower cost of
clothing to the consumer are bound to
help business. The price which it will
be necessary to demand for suits made
of the very fine woods, OF fine worsteds.
viii! naturally be regulated by the num-
Der of customers who car purchase
this high grade clothing.
While during the last week the de-
mand for wool has fallen off, partly
what induced by the hot weather, and
also by somewhat lesser. activity in
the goods market since the favorable
opening of the goods of the American
Wooden Company, 1T is estimated that
$4,000 900 pounds Of wool were sold in
the Boston market during August. This
does not include wool which was bought
speeulatively and il included would
substantially raise the above figure.
1t is definitely known that one large
wool house sold at least one and three
quarters million pounds each week, or
total of more than seven million
pounds for the month.

SviuttAoAS nave CnAHRcO greatly IN
the eighteen months since furs first
started to retreat from the extreme
prices Of the winter Of 1890. Small
er dealers who entered the industry
with insufficient capital have in most
cases released their holdings, and, al
though this action served to break
prices of furs below replacement costs
the situation in the industry as whole
was improved to the extent that 1t
placed supplies in stronger hands and
checked wild speculation. The low
prices served also to restrict the catch
last winter and brought about u de-
crease, II not shortage, in the most
desirable skins.
In an endeavor to obtain the views
OF representative members of the trade
in New York on the approaching sea-
son, The Tribune recently asked sew
eral firms to answer q QUESTIONABLE.
Among the questions asked were:
What are the prospects for consumer
demand for furs this winter" and "Do
you think prices Of fur garments are
stabilized or likely to advance o. de-
cline?
Answers to these questions were al
most unanimous. Prospects for the
current season were characterized as
fairly good" good" every good" and
most encouraging One manufac-
turer looks for the best business in
four or FIVE years.
Responses were unanimous on the
point that prices would not 60 lower
Many thought that the market had
been stabilized, although it was sug-
gested that if prices for raw furs
showed a tendency to rise there might
be stifening in the market for gar
ments: The opinion prevailed. however,
that the public would show tendency
to resist higher prices.
Raw Furs Stabilized
The same opinion was noticeable in
raw furs, to some extent, although the
element of speculation was regarded as
more apparent in this line. The APP
preaching auction would show to
great extent the probable price trend
for the season, it was felt, and it was
generally believed that prices would
hold steady, with advances probable in
the more desirable skins
