VEAL THY BUTCHER
CONF ESSES KILLING
IN INSURANCE PLOT

ET' REKA, Cal, Oct. 3.-Alex Kels,
wealthy butcher of Lodi, Cal, con-
fessed early this morning to author
tiles that he killed a straI or on his
raanch near Lodi September IL, SET
fire to haystacI ne his a6tomo-
bile to burn the body and disappeared
from sight to enable his wife to col
lect his insurance money, amounting
to 100000.
Announcement of the confession
was made by Assistant District At
torney NJ. G. Woodward, of San Joa-
quin county, after he and Sheriff w.
III. Riecks had grilled Kels nearly
four hours.
The attempted lax was carried
out, Kels told the officers, because
he was in financial distress. Who
the man was that he killed he de,
clared he did not know. He picked
the stranger UP at Lodi free en-
ployment agency, he said, and took
him to his ranch. There he shot him
twice, killing him, later driving to
the point where the body was found.
Placing the hay around the machine
he set fire to it and fled from the
scene, walking to Sacramento, where
he began the trip over the south
west which later led him to Eureka,
where he was arrer+~' Monday night.
The two officers left here this
morning for Lodi with Kels.
The confession came after persist
ent denials by kels that he had had
a hand in hte death of the man who
for nearly three N-oks was believed
to he I<els himself, and whose body
was buried after one of the most
ella borate funeral services ever held
in San Joaquin county.
lsels told the authorities that he
conceived the plan himself and neVe
expected to realize on the insurance
money, but to assure his wife of get
ting it and enabling ner to discharge
business obligations he had con-
tracted His wife is in a serious con
dition at her home in Lodi and has
not been told kels is alive and under
arrest.

CARTER CLASS HITS
PATRONAGE ABUSES
Of c. D. P. IN SOUTH
Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
40S Evans Building.
RY THEODORE TILLER

WASHINGTON, Oct. Pin a vi
triolic letter made public here today,
Senator Carter Glass, of Virginia,
charged that the present administra-
ton in making it's postoffice appoint
ments is treating the south las
conquered province" that there is
wholesale abuse in the practice of
designating acting postmasters,
and that there are bureaucratic Vio-
lations of the constitution" in the
present patronage system.
The letter Of Senator Glass to de-
posed Postmaster Pifer, of Virginia.
reads:
Il have so often expressed indig-
ma ton at the utterly dishonest prac-
tees of Republican officials who in
decently disregard both the spirit
and the text Of the civil service
statutes with respect to appoint
ments to and removal from office
that it seems now almost useless
thing to do. In such matters the
south is treated as a conquered prov
ince. 1t is not given as fair consid-
Grafton as the Philippines or Porto
Rico or any other possession of the
United States. The Offices are OPEN
ly bartered away and the traffic has
proved a profitable enterprise to mer-
cenary Republican politicians.
Not only am in favor of inves-
tigating your particular case. and re-
vealing the facts to the country, but
the senate of the United States in
very self-respect should investigate
the practice of appointing acting
postmasters' merely for the purpose
of avoiding the consequences of SEN
atorial disapproval of an appoint
ment. 1t is plainly a bureaucratic
violation of the constitution of the
United States. 1t is a usurpation of
power which should be quickly and
deciSiVelV ended 3"

which Billiard himself had picked up
and brought to the home some two
weeks before the shooting.
The witness recited how he and
his wife together went to his ia
theirs house, and subsequently he
was removed to a hospital where he
remained for six days, during which
time all of his relatives except his
wife visited him. Billiard identified
the burned and blood stained pillows
which the solicitor general offered
in evidence. He said they were the
pillows that were on the bed the
night he was shot.
The prosecution began this after
noon the Introduction Of evidence
concerning alleged intimate rela
tons between Edwards and Bul-
lard's wife. which, it is allege-.,
furnished the motive for the shoot
ing.l
Quillan Petty, neighbor and
acquaintance of both Billiard and
Edwards, took the stand and related
how he had surprised the defendant
and Mrs. Billiard in an affeCtiOnate
position in the Billiard home.
Women Excluded
A number of women, who had OBJ
tanned seats, were excluded from the
court room, but not until they had
obtained a fleeing glimpse of the
woman in tbe case" as she answer
ed the call of witnesses for the de-
Tense, of whom there are about
forty.
The morning session was marked
by frequent clashes between attor-
neys representing Edwards and So
licitor General John A Wood of the
Blue Ridge circuit, concerning the
admissibihty of evidence.
After the cross examination of
Billiard, the medical testimony as
to the nature of his wounds, the
state called Mr.. Petty. Because OF
W hich he was to testify, Judge Blair
excluded all women. Counsel for the
defendant argued at length con-
corning the admissibilty of testi-
mony bearing upon the alleged re-
lations between Edwards and Mrs.
Billiard. The jury was sent from the
court room during this argument.
Judge Blair overruled the objec-
ton and Quillian proceeded to recite
in great detail and at length a cir
cunstauce involving the alleged in
innate relations of the defendant
and Mrs. Billiard.

a4ld the offer made by private con-
GERS should he accepted, or an alter
native devised.
Mr.. Silver said that his organiza-
ton was well eware that | EiGrar
price for wheat could not be Oh lined
by government subsidies, but that
the American farmer could and
would adjust himself to word con
ditions, provided he could being down
the cost at home. He felt that the
systems of intermediate credits,
which had been set up by congress,
together with orderly marketing,
would help to keep the prices from
fluctuating at home, out that, basic
ally. the biggest reform mus. COME
in the cost of production.
He believed that the farmer was
quite willing to take his chances in
the sale of his surplus abroad, pro
vided he could make a profit on the
home market, and this would be pos
sble through cheaper nitrates, lower
freight rates and orderly marketing.
Farmers Not IsOIati0nists
Mr.. Silver in reply 20 questions
concerning the farmers interest in
European problems, stated that
farmers generally were anxious that
the United States extend its influ-
ence so that markets abroad could
be restored. He did not believe the
farmers were isolationists. ouc would
welcome co-oepra ton with Europe.
After Mr.. Silver 1eft, Spencer
Weymouth, editor of Farm Life, an
Indiana publication. who ~lso came
at the invitation of President Cool
idge,, told the chief executive that.
with the exception of the CHEAT
growing farmer, conditions in the ag.
ricultural world were not as bad as
were painted. He was doubtful
whether a higher tariff would do
any good.
Suppose" he said, that tariff
is imposed and we restrict our acre.
age to home markets, and then along
comes s. Dem ecratic administration
or some other thing, and the tariff
is removed? Then Canada and the
rest of the world not only9Dan come
N here and compete with us. but,
all the time the Ia # is in effect,
the other wheat growing countries
vii be capturing the markets of the
world"
Mr. Coolidge told some of his call
ers he was considering the proposal
that the government buy wheat at
dollG- and half bushe1 for eX
port, but he didn't indicate whether
he would approve or reject it.
Mr.. Silver thought the war finarce
corporation had the power already
to buy wheat from the American
farmer and sell it to European coun-
tries, including Germany, on credit
backed up by gilt-edge securities.
There are literally dozens of pro
