LAW DEMANDS THIRD
VICTIM OF ILLICIT LOVE

WETHERFIELD. Conn. May ID
| Gu. P)-The hanging of Elwood b,
Wade, scheduled for tonight, will be
the third death to result from a mans
wild infatuation for another's wife.
When the youthful milk wagon driv-
er became unduly alternative to the
fair Mrs. Ethel Hutchins Mott in the
summer of 1920, there was no shadow
of the impending tragedy. Both prin-
cipals apparently lived happily with
their respective families in their homes
in Bridgeport. Mrs. Mott is 80: Wade
! is 2S. The latter has two children,
Gertrude 5. and-Elbert 3. and Mrs.
Mott had two children. George 5, and
Mildred 8.
The first death was that of George
B. Mott, gambler by profession, who
was attacked while sleeping in the at
tic of his home and later killed in the
struggle. A heavy piece of pipe. a
carving knife and a revolver were
used. The persons who committed
this murder were, according to testi-
mony at the trial, Elwood b. Wade
and John E Johnston, who was em-
ployed by Wade on the latter's milk
route.
- The second death was that of John
ston's aged mother. who died Febru-
airy 2S of broken heart.
And the end is not yet. When Mrs.

cape with a light sentence for his part
in assisting the prosecution in Wade's
trial. This 20-year-old youth was the
first to break down and tell the police
of the murder.
The murder of Mott was carefully
planned, and deliberately and method
ically consummated None of the
principals with the exception of John
ston, appeared unduly excited when

with a roll of jazz music on it. was

went up to the attic and to bed. Mrs

MUT|LATED ITALIAN
SOLDIERS TAKE Jobs
FROM YOUNG WOMEN
Take by Force Positions of
Girls Who Gained Footing
There During Late War.

ROME. May 30. P.)-Itallan
soldiers who were more or less mutt
lated during the war lately have taken
the law into their own hands and have
swarmed in thousands into many of
the government ministries, taking pos
session by force of the9places of the
many young women who gained a foot
ing there during the war and so far
have refused to be displaced.
Newspapers are being flooded with
letters, some few of them arguing that
the women clerks have earned the
right to work if they please, and to
support themselves, but most of the
writer's telling lurid and terrible tales
of the frivolity of these daughters of
Eve; of the little work they do and
the great amount of time they waste
on flirtations and on their toilettes; of
the alleged subversive effect they
have in well-regulated ministries, and
of many families whose peace is said
to have been undermined by their
dangerous proximity to staid and re-
spectacle men.
At any rate it appears that soldiers
who have served their country have
made good their claim to the coveted
positions and, both in Rome and in
many provincial towns the edict has
gone forth that the girls must go.
italian housekeepers hope that some
will return to the many mistresses who
sigh in vain for assistance in their
households. but doubt whether after
the short hours and Independence of
office life they will take kindly to do
nestle service or the long hours of
shop work

A WRONG IMPRESSION.

MADISON, visa wrong I'M
preston has gotten abroad among
the farmers, the proponents OF the
Grimsted land tax bill say, as to
the purpose and effect OF that mea-
sure. 1t simply provides for sur
tax on the use and enjoyment OF ex-
cess land values above $4,000 with
an exemption of the value OF the I'M
provements, cost of clearing land,
standing timber and fertility from
that surtax. As a matter OF fact 1t
will not apply to NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
of the farms in Wisconsin. 1t will
apply to big land holdings which are
held at inflated prices and which, to
the degree they are thus held, dis
courage the securing OF land by
people of small means for legitimate
farming purposes. Without IN
creasing the taxes of the average
Wisconsin farmer one cent the new
surtax would bring larger revenue
into the state treasury and at the
same time discourage holdings which
really keep land out of the hands OF
actual farmers. Taking all the ex-
emutions provided for in the bill
thew will amount to at least $4,000
on the average farm or urban pro-
pertv. The surtax of one-half OF
one per cent tax would not apply
until the holdings exceed $4,000.
Careful estimates place the amount
of excess farm holdings to which
the bill would apply at five per cent
of the total taxable property OF the
state. but this would bring an addi-
t;onal revenue of one million dollars.

From out of the summer sea.
And q man and q maid through fields OF

Strolled onward 70 happily.
Then the trumpets blared. and the guns

A nation to grisly war.
And the maid was left with the kline
which browsed
Ger the meadows near and far.
Now the moon looks down on . lonely
mound,
Away in q distant cline,
And the niont breeze. whispering softly
round,
Hymns a sacrifice sublime.
And q woman walks In the meadows bare.
That border the restless sea,
And her hopes lie far beyond grief ana
care.
Where joy is eternally.

MANY PRICES
TAKE BIG SLUMP
Daily Paper Quotations Indi-
cate That Food and Other
Prices are Rapidly Going to
Pre-war Levels.

Milwaukeen wholesale prices OF
butter dropped from 40c to 35c per
pound on Monday of this week and
predictions of Commission mer-
chants, according to the Milwaukee
Journal, are that with the grass sea-
son starting prices will go even low
er. Milk prices in the Wisconsin
metropolis also took a tumble and
are expected to reach &c retail with
in the present month.
Cheese is also down, the whole
sale price at Milwaukee being 1871
to 15c per pound.
Not only has there been slump
in food stuffs, but gasoline and kero-
sene have also taken tumble, and
this slump has already been felt
locally, wholesale price of gasoline
being 22.S, drop of three cents per
gallon.
The southern part of the state is
usually about three weeks ahead of
northern Wisconsin, both in the
rise and fall of prices, and it will
likely. be some little time before the
prices are felt here.
Sugar has also taken tumble and
is expected to go even lower. Re-
finers are now asking less than 7c
per pound for their product.
