Aged Man Is Held Responsible
For Tragedies in Battle
) SSSti-s Creek t4%

Battle Greek, Mich, Aug. 8.-The
body of Mrs. B. IL. Stewart, 58, was
found by posse Of searchers late
yesterday 10 miles southeast Of this
city, bringing to three the number of
persons whose deaths are blamed on
John H. Wells, 70, retired merchant
and reputed to be wealthy.
Wells early yesterday shot and
killed his wife, Ella, 68, and himself.
He left word with nephew that he
had killed Mrs. Stewart and placed
her body in clump of bushes some
distance from this city. \
Jealousy is the theory advanced by
police as the cause of the triple kiln
ing.
The body of Wells and his wife
were found in their apartment when
detectives, called by neighbors, broke
down the door. Both the man and
woman had been shot through the
head. A revolver was gripped in
Wells lifeless hand.
Mrs. Stewart was last.seen yesterday
morning when according to those liv-
ing near the home, sne drove away
in an automobile with IAN elderly
man."
Police are working on the theory
that Wells drove the woman to the
woods, shot and killed her and then
returned, killing his wife and him
self.
Mrs. Stewart was the wife of an
electrician, Bert Stewart, Wells came
to Battle Greek two years ago from
Oklahoma.

Supreme Court Says Legisla'

Bringing Them In It.
DECISION OF COURT

Because it held that the case befor.
it was not properly an equitable ac.
tion the supreme court did not find
it necessary ITO decide one of the
strongly contested points in the con.
troversy between the Ransom County
Farmers Press and the Lisbon Free
Press over the selection OF the latter
as official paper Of Ransom county
but the court in its discussion of the
case strongly intimates, according to
interpretations placed here, that the
corrupt practices act of 1911 does not
apply to the case to newspapers
which are candidates at an election
the same as other candidates. The
plaintiff and appellant had contended
the Lisbon Free Press had violated
the corrupt practices in offering to
furnish to each voter of Ransom
county copy of its paper contain
ing the delinquent tax list.
"The Corrupt Practices Art (chap-
ter 129, laws 1911; sections 923- -944.
c. L. 1879 applies to all primary
and general elections held in the
states; but the language of the act
indicates that the legislature intend
ed that certain provisions should be-
applicable only to elections of public
Officers, while other provisions should
be applicable alike to election of Of
ficers and elections involving some
measure, proposition or question sub
mitted at an election" says the syl-
labus Of the decision, which was is.
sued per curiam, or by all judges.
Adopted in 1911
"The Corrupt Practices Act was
adopted in 1911. (Chapter 129, Laws
1911; Sections 923-926 C. L. 1913),"
says the opinion. "At the time of it's
enactment there was no provision for
the selection of official newspapers
at an election. In fact, the same leg
islative assembly which enacted the
Corrupt Practices Act, also, enacted
a law imposing upon the county COM
missioners Of each county in the
state the duty to designate the Of
ficial newspaper Of the county.
(Chapter 1877, Laws 1917. The law
providing for the selection of an Of
ficial newspaper was enacted in 1919.
(Chapter 1877, Laws 1919. Hence, it is
manifest that at the time the Corrupt
Practices Act was enacted, the legis-
lature had no intention that it should
apply to an election held for the pur-
pose Of selecting an official news

GREAT CONFUSION

NNOnA SVANC
Berlin. Aug. 8.-(By the Associated
Press)-Utter confusion prevailed in
the retail situation in all lines in
Greater Berlin yesterday due to the
continued plunging of the mark and
the consequent fantastic rise Of the
dollar.
While the food situation continued
to show q chronic shortage in or
dinary staples, hourly rises of prices
caused by the fluctuation of the
mark are projecting new and seri-
Gus element into the situation, as the
retailers are withdrawing their wares
from sale whenever the customers re-
fuse to pay prices based on the gold
mark or the dollar units.
Shopkeepers Proclaim Strike
As the latter procedure results in
the price ranges which are prohibit
ed under the usury ordinances, the
shopkeepers' union has proclaimed a
general strike for Thursday and all
retail establishments except food
shops will close for day as a pro-
test against conditions under which
they are expected to operate.
Their chief objection is being di-
rected against the prohibition Of
price quotations based on the gold
unit.
Many shops throughout the city
have shut down, barricading
their doors and emptying the shop
windows Of. all display.
Meanwhile, the government is max
Ing hectic efforts to prevent the sit
