Years With Stenographer,
Wife Has Since Remarked
Believing Him Dead

NAPA, Cal, Dec. 6.-Edward J.
Sailstad, who was arrested here last
night, admitted that he put a ody
in a cottage at Lake Nebagamon,
Wis, and set fire to the building four
years ago in an effort to make it
appear that he had died in the fire
so his wife might collect $62 900 in
surance money, according to District
Attorney Thomas C. Anglim. Of
Napa.
With Sailstad when he was arrest
ed was Miss Dorothy Anderson, who
was his stenographer when he was
a business man in Eau Claire, Wis,
before his supposed death and who,
according to Mr.. Anglim, admitted
accompanying him on his flight
from Wisconsin. Miss Anderson was
detained for further questioning to-
day.
Sailstad is being held in Jail here
on a charge of arson, at the request
of the authorities Of Superior, Wis.
Sailstad and Miss Anderson were
travelling in an expensive automo-
bile and told officials here that they
had been visiting various parts of
the country, repairing typewriters.
At first the young woman declared
her name was Mary Brown and said
she met Sailstad, who has used the
name of Kingston since the Lake
Nebagamon fire, in Chicago. Anglim
said.

lowed by a gun fight resulted from

degree murder ordered by a coro-
ner's jury following its investigation
of the killing of j. r. Mays, of Do

DRY Up CONGRESS
FIRST, IS EDWARDS
PLAN FOR WET BLOC

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Start en-
forcing the prohibition law in the
senate and house of representatives
that is the program of Senator Ed
ward I. Edwards, leader of the
strengthened wet bloc in the new
senate.
The first step of the vets should
be to ''clean up the hypocrisy OF
those who do not vote as they drink, :"
Edwards says. He is prepared to
do it.
The legislative fight of vets shapes
up like this:
1. Fight appropriation of 100000
900 for construction OF a rum navy
and against big appropriations for
running unsuccessful prohibition bu-
reaus.
2. Let the Volstead act alone unless
some unforeseen developments make
the time propitious to stir up a fight
for light wines and beers.
3. Permit the twelve-mile terrific
rial waters treaty with Great Britain
to go through the senate without Sc
rious objection.
The vets are said to plan their
biggest demonstration when the
recommendation for construction of
the rum navy comes up. They say
they are confident that such an ap-
preparation can not get through the
senate
