 Wanderer confessed that he com mitted three murders because he could not assume the duties of fatherhood
 On the scaffold as they were ad- justing his white robe and the moose, he began to sing. It was evident he sang to his murdered wife. The words and tune came clearly from his lips and the people in the darkened death room listened appalled, to the grre- some concert: oh, pal. old pal, you left me alone. Oh, pal, old pal, I'm just rallong stone
 Here Sheriff Peters fixed the rope around Wanderers neck. He tight ened it and moved the knot into its proper place. There was sudden pause in the singing Then when the rope was ttghtened, the voice resumed again: My arms embrace an empty space; the rams that held you ten derly"
 A few seconds later the former army lieutenant and paid the penalty for the murders of Ruth Wanderer. his wife. her unborn child and the ragged stranger he had duped. The hanging eXacted vengeance for the most brutal killing in Chieago's recent history Hired of h;S young wife, Wanderer devised fiendishly inge- nious murder plot He hired a young "dOwn-and outer" to accost him and his wife at their door Then, in del. bate accord with his plan, he killed Mrs. Wanderer and the dupe, leaving himself in the role of avenger.
 The robber killed Ruth at the first shot, he said. .'Then I fought it out and killed him.
 He was hero for week. Then a trival oversight put detectives on his trail. He was arrested. And at dawn today, after more than a year of court delays and mistrials and re prieves, he was hanged.

EFFORTS EXTEND
 SURFACE RIGHTS : TO ALASKA MADE
Shoot Again Introduces Measure for Relief of
 Homesteaders in North.

Another effort has been started to extend to Alaska laws authorizing the issuance of patent to surface rights as an aid to homesteaders, according to advices just received here. Senator Reed Shoot of Utah, has introduced a measure for that purpose which has been favorably reported.
 The bill provides that from and after its passage homestead claims known to contain workable coal, oil Or gas deposits or that may be val uable for such deposits, and which have not been otherwise withdrawn Whenever such claim shall be in itiated with view of obtaining titia thereto, the ownership of the coal or other deposit therein shall remain vested in the United States, as well as the right to prospect, mine and remove the same.
 This measure is virtually identi cal with a similar bill introduced by Senator Shoot during the last session of Congress and which was passed by the Senate It was re ported on favorably by the House committee but was lost in the great mass of bills which was not reached by the House in the closing days of the session.
 Granting of homestead patents to surface lands has been authorized in the public lands states for many years. Many settlers, especially in the Kachemak Bay district, in Alaska have been greatly handicapped by reason of the fact that the same law does not apply to Alaska.

skeleton Of a gigantic extinct monster,
recently discovered in the pleistocene
beds OF Tasmania, 49, 80
The. animal was as large as the
largest existing rhinoceros. The new
discovery shows clearly that. it was a
rhinoceros-like animal, with skull
built. for aggressive warfare, and at
least one powerful horn on the snout.
Evidence Of the gigantic battles in
which this animal engaged is to be
found in the complete smashing and
partial mendiug Of the collar-bone,
and, in the crushing and subsequent
repair Of the bones of the nose and
snout.
