LONDON, March l5.-After many
months OF complicated negotiations the
AngloRussian trade agreement nrob.
ably will be signed tomorrow. Several
tunes heretofore the agreement has
been at the point OF consummstion. but
last-minute stipulations By one side or
the other always have held I'D matters.
The essential points os this docu-
nent were summarized in a public an
nouncement several months ago Brief
ly 1t provides for an interchange OF
commodities through Official trade
agents stationed in both Great Britain
and Russia. The most recent discus
slons OF its terms have cen.ered on
Sucn technicalities as the machinery for
financing trade and, particularly.
mutual guarantees to abstain from
propaganda
The whole process OF evolution in
the agreement has been marked by re-
crlmlnatons on both sides Leo Kane
netF, one OF the Russian envoys who
mad part in the preliminary work on
1t, was compelled 20 leave Great Brit
am because ne engaged in propaganda
Tor the Red government. and on sew
eral occasions the political fortunes or
misfortunes OF the Moscow administra-
ton apparently affected the negotia-
tions.
When the Moscow government on
Decem Der 80 last year recalled Leonid
hrassin, the Soviet trade emissary
here, the breakdown Of all discussions
looking toward an agreement was
generally reported to have been in
volved. However. a London dispatch
to The Tribune on that date said. and
correctly, that an agreement had been
reached and that Krassin was going
home merely for consultation on GER
tain points in the preamble.
The amendments which krassin has
been pressing since he returned to
London a few weeks ago fall into
three classes: First. a list OF border
states around both countries in which
there is said to be no hostile propa-
ganda; second. the demand that Great
Britain withhold support from pre-
tenders 10 the government Of Russia.
and, third. reservation by which the
agreement is rendered void if Russian

 I1lwood Wade deliberately violated two of the fundamental dictates Of God and Man.

 Wade and his paramour, when their" fiendish designs had been exc cuted set about to conceal the crime and attempt evasion of the coiise- quences of their deed.
 A trunk was carried from the third floor, and with movements deliberate and unruffled the mangled body of the husband was crammed into it. The remains of what had once been the body of a human being, now cold in death, was doubled, twisted, bent and prodded into the bottom of the re- ceptacle while linens, old clothing and newspapers were packed nearer the top.
 The trunk was placed in the front hallway. and Wade disappeared from the house to rejoin his companion, Johnson, who was waiting with an Johnston, who was waiting with an tant.
 Pans for the disposal of the trunk and it's ghastiy contents had already been formulated, and a few minutes after o'clock that night the pair returned and loaded the trunk into their truck.

ETbert Wade, fhe pa | rent masked his shame and humil- | iation and threw himself at the mercy or an enchantress, when he plead ed | for her to relinquish her Tenacious grip upon the boys life. George Mott, i the Scorned husband, was soon made acquainted with the s.ate of affairs, and cleyerly Schemed to gather the damaSing evidence against the two. Spies, eavesdroppers, window | watchers were enlisted in his service. and soon regular reports were made of the visits of young Wade to his home. Driven to passionate anger against the one who dared contami- nate his household and alienate the love and carresses of his mate em- bittered by the faithlessness of his wife, Mott stormed and threatened. One outlet of his soul-sickening emo- tions was attained in the administra- t1on of bodily punishment on his wife, Instead of regaining her affection by his primitive methods. he uncon-
 sciously whipped the passions of his
 wife and her lover to fever heat, and actually hastened towards the crisis circumstances that were but shortly
 to result in the ending of his own life.
 Three lives hopelessly entangled in
 an impenetrable web embedded in the
 muck and slime of Quick-Sand of lusful cravings and unbridled passions were craftily guided by the joined
 hands of fate and misfortune along the rock-strewn, bramble-bordered path Of devious ways forging surely ahead to the frightful goals that
 marked the end of their life journeys
 Summer was gradually drawing to a. close as the three misguided souls rapidly drew nigh to the horrible Crj- sis of their lives. Mott and Wade met, had accused and been accused, had quarreled and parted with soul-sear- ing curses. Dire threats had fallen upon the heads of each, and both had called down on the other every inn PrCcation to their vocabular limita- tIcns.

 Cunning plans were laid by the veueetul lover with the tacit approval of Ethel Mott and the ill-cTr-S dsred assistance of the ignorant Johnston.
 In the weird still hours of late night the lover and his blinded toady lay in wait for the unsuspecting husband.
