LEAD HIM AS SPIRIT
Woman Kills Baby and Their
Swallows Poison - Said
Spirit Would Aid Husband.
(By Associated Press Leased Wirel

NBy associated Press Leased Wirel
Newark, N. Mrs. Maud Fauncher
who swallowed poison yesterday after
Staying her baby son, Cecil Raymond
hoped to guide her husband to happi-
ness as an emancipated spirit. She is
at deaths door in city hospital. The
story of her belief in spiritualism was
told in the three letters-one of 20
pages written before she took the poi
son, one after the baby's death, anF
the third as she was half consciou
herself.
Got Idea at Seance.
Mr.. Fauncher said today that soon
after they married in Detroit, three
years ago, he and his wife attended a
seance at private home in that city
and both had talked to their dead par
ents. Since that time, he said, Mrs
Fauncher had taken a great interest
in spiritualism.
"That seance," he said, "put the
whole idea into her head. She thought
she could do better for me if she were
dead and would guide me to heaven
Mrs. Fauncher's health had been very
poor since the birth of their son, ant
she felt, her letters indicated, that her
death would relieve her husband of 2
severe handicap. She took the baby's
life because she could not bear to think
of someone else caring for the boy, she
said.
Promises TO Guide Him.
Dear, my heart is breaking at lea1
ing you, and you love the baby so, too
she wrote. "But remember, you are t.
get yourself another son and sweet
one, too, for am going to guide you
until you do"
Darling beloved husband" another
letter started, 81 am writing you line
on this queer suicide and know what
everyone will say-'Oh, she has lost
her mind'-but l have not by a long
ways. 1 know just what am doing
l want you to get married again If
you wish. You know about spiritual
ism and I want you to go where you
can talk with. me-"
Made All Funeral Plans.
She directed that she and the baby
be buried in the same casket and said
she did not want the bodies shipped
home to Detroit. She suggested that
the husband dispose of their household
effects and other property and return
to Detroit to live.
While physicians say there is little
chance for the woman's recovery, she
stated today that if she did get well
she would try suicide again and "next
time," she said, "I'll make good job
Of it, you may be sure"

demands of the Central powers were

refused to concede them.
The next move by Russia was to an

withdrawn from the war without sign
ing peace and had ordered imme-

all fronts. This maneuver did not
satisfy the Germans however.

Only for War Purposes.
This treaty was effective, so far as
its continuing provisions were concern
ed, however, only SO long as Germany
remained in the war. With her defeat
and the conclusion of peace with the
Allies, Germany, in the treaty Of Yer
sailles agreed to accept the abrogation
of the Brest-Litovsk and all other
treaties entered into with the max
imalist government of Russia, to recog-
nize the full force Of all treaties en-
tered into by the Allied and Associat-
ed powers with states which were
part of the former Russian empire and
to recognize the frontiers as determin-
ed therein. 1t was added that the pow
ers reserved the right of Russia to
obtain restitution and reparation on
the principles Of the Versailles treaty.

Genoa = A treaty between Germany
and Russia was signed at Rapallo yes
terday, the signatories being the for
eign ministers of the two countries,
George Chitcherin for Russia and DR..
Walter Rathenau for Germany. The
treaty nullifies the Brest-Litovsk trea-
ty and re-establishes full diplomatic
relations on an equality basis.
The pact cancels all war claims, as
we'll as claims arising from the ma
.tionalization of property.
The treaty signed yesterday, it is
stated, represents the conclusion. of
negotiations begun many months ago.
This action by delegates to the Genoa
economic conference, in meeting indie
pendently and negotiating a treaty
outside the scope of the conference it.
self, is pointed to as establishing a
striking precedent for the nations who
are participating in the discussion of
the Russian problem here.
Announcement Surprise.
In connection with the mutual re-
nunciation of naturalization of prop
erty claims and war claims, the treaty
expressed the friendly hope that other
powers would do likewise.
Announcement of the signing of the
treaty came as a rather rude surprise
to the Genoa conference, and it was
pointed to by observers as likely to
make more difficult the position of
some of the other allies in their at
titude toward Russia.
By the new treaty replacing the
Brest-Litovsk pact which has been so
humiliating to the Soviet leaders,
Germany is the first great power to
grant Russia full recognition. Poland
and the Baltic states have long had
diplomatic relations with the Soviet
government, but Germany has been
Withholding recognition because of
failure to obtain satisfaction of the
claims for the murder of Count Mier-
bach who was assassinated in Mos
COW in 1918 when he went there as
German ambassador under the terms of
the Brest-Litovsk treaty.
Although negotiations between Ger
many and Russia have bee min pro-
gress for some months on various
subjects, mostly relating to trade mat
tiers, there had been no intimations
that the signing of a formal treaty
superseding the historic Brest-Litovsk
pact of early 1918 was contemplated by
the plenipotentiaries of two nations
at Genoa. The countries had previous

Washington Completion of the
defense program in Hawaii and the
Panama Canal zone as. an integral fea-
ture of the defense Of continental
United States was urged before the
Senate appropriation committee by
Colonel B. H. Wells, head Of the war
plans division of the general staff.
He criticized the pending army bill
in its present form as inadequate and
tending to wreck the progress already
made in providing for national de-
tense.
In explaining that the defense of the
Hawaiian group had been conferred on
the island of Oahu which contains
Pearl Harbor and Honolulu harbor
Colonel Wells said these waters were
seen as "bases from which the fleet
may protect the west coast of the
United States, Alaska and the Panama
Canal"
"0ahu is the most important island
strategically Of the Pacific ocean," the
witness said.
