render herself He insisted that
they start at once and brought out
his automobile.
AS they started she asked him to
care for their 4-month-o1d son.
Hell have better care than he's
had before. Heldman replied.
A little whimslcaIly she specu
lated as to what would become OF
her.
Bitterly, brutally, he replied:
You'll probably get the electric
chair. / think you deserve it.
They drove on in silence and
reached Canton. For moment
they were held up by traffic at a
street corner.
Shoots Herself
'It won't be long now" the
young husband observed morosely.
There was a sharp report and
Mrs. Heldman slumped forward,
Dazed, Heldman drove on to the
courthouse and summoned the
sheriff.
Mrs. Heldman was rushed to a
hospital where she died.

tity of the phantom murderess" and
her motive for killing Vernard Fearn.
Formerly Of Canton. Mrs. Held.
man came here Monday, December
3, to visit her sister, Mrs. Roy
Pierce. Fearn, a young coal dealer,
was called to the door of his home
at Waco, near here, Thursday night
week ago, and was shot to death
before the eyes of his wife and
9-year-oid daughter.
Heard Of Fearn Only Once
The murderess came to Canton on
bus. Returning to her home at
Lorain, she prepared her husband $
breakfast the next morning.
IIeldman, up to that time, had
heard of Fearn only once. He had
seen letter which his wife had writ
ten to her sister, stating that they
would probably be divorced and that
il was the fault of this man Fearn,"
she apparently supposing that her
husband already knew of the situa-
ton.
A few days after her return, with
police running down every clue in
their efforts to clear up the mys-
terious murder, he accused her of
it, Heldman said. She denied it.
Then, late yesterday, he discovered
crumpled note, addressed to him,
which his wife had evidently written
some time before and then decided
to throw away.

Whispers That Wales
Would Decline Throne
Belied by His Actions
Ry !. e. OFSTREICHER

LONDON. Dec. IA 1.N.S.L-The
often reported but entirely uncon-
firned determination of the Prince
of Wales TO decline accession to the
British throne has been brought
forcibly to the forefront today bv
his dramatic dash home to the bed
side of his stricken father.
From his youth-the Prince will
be 35 his next birthday-the heir
apparent has been noted for his
democratic principles. The whispered
runors that he might decline the
throne We're based for the most part
upon the possible inability to har-
monize the position of sovereignty
with his well-known democratic ten
denotes. Another reason was the
Princes failure to marry.
For years there have been back
stairs whispers that the Prince In
tended to waive his right to sue
cession.
These whispers were intensified
after the King became ill nearly
four weeks ago. 1t has been re
ported the Prince might delegate
his power and position to his mex.
brother, the Duke of York. The
Duke is married and has a baby
daughter.

OPEN WALTHER
LEAGUE FARLEY
Keynoter Says Only Church
Can Save Youth.

bU UntJe0 Ff6S8
MILWAUKEE,, July 16.-Only the
church can save modern youth from
the paths Of evil, Governor Fred
r. Zimmerman Of Wisconsin told
1900 delegates to the Thirty-Sixth
International Convention of the
Lutheran Walther League at its for
NAL opening today.
The Governors speech struck the
keynote of the conventions first
session. He praised the work which
the league was doing on behalf Of
the younger generation.
Atheistic and agnostic influences
were deplored by other speakers
as among the most sinister and
harmful of all present-day inau-
enceS which beset youth.
Youth Graves fellowship with
others of his age, and unless he is
invited and led to make worthy
friends, he falls prey to the tenets
of false friends" said the Rev. Paul
Miller of FIT. Wayne, Ind, in COM
menting on the efforts of the league
to bind young people to the church.
District Attorney Eugene Wengert,
who welcomed the delegates to
Milwaukee, asserted that lin an
age when the stability of the home
is threatened by such doctrines as
companionate marriage, and when
one marriage in five ends in
divorce, the young people of today
must for mthemselves into such or
CARNATIONS as the Walther League
to defend the sanctity of the home"

LOST AVIATORS
BARE STORY OF
SIBERIAN Trek
Reach Post After Crash in
Forest; Go Without
Food Six Days.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
NOVOSIBIRSK, Siberia, July Is.
"A stirring tale of danger and pri-
walton has been brought out of~the
wooded wastes of northern Siberia
by two aviators and a newspaper
man, who were forced to land in a
marshy clearing in the virgin for
ests of the Ochinsky district.
Their airplane the Sibrevkom was
found by an expedition sent out to
search for them, but the three men
who had flown in the plane-Avia-
tor Yoske, Mechanic Brantzeff and
the representative of the only news
paper in Biesk, Magid-were not in
the vicinity.
Natives of the forest lands, va
satch Tartars, who first discovered
the plane, could tell nothing about
the missing men. They merely re-
membered having seen frightful
bird swoop to the ground. Yasatch
leaders organized an armed band to
approach the monster, but only the
most daring tribesmen ventured
near the machine.
Russia almost had given up hope
when the three men wandered into
fishing village near Ochinsk. They
had been lost for six days in the
forests. Aside from a bird which
they caught with their hands, and a
few herbs, they had been without
food for the whole period.
The Sibrevkom, the trio said, ran
short of gasoline after it had crossed
the Kuznyetzky range of mountains
en- route to Ochinsk.

CHICAGO WHEAT
DECLINES WITH
LIVERPOOL DROP
Corn and Oats Lose on
Favorable Crop Reports
in Market.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, July 16.-Unexpected
weakness at Liverpool sent wheat
lower on the Board Of Trade today.
Corn and oats lost on favorable crop
reports.
Wheat opened q to 1 cent of {;
corn was down II to cent, and oats
was off y to q cents. Provisions
were unchanged.
Traders in wheat are inclined to
be unusually cautious. Warm
weather in the Northwest over the
weekend and rain early today in
creased the danger of rust damage
in that section. Liverpool was much
lower than expected today.
Large shipments of old corn were
received here. Experts are predict
ing bumper crop, but the harvest
period is not yet in sight.
The oats harvest is progressing
rapidly in Indiana, Ohio and ILL
noiS, causing considerable Hquida-
ton in the July delivery. Supplies
of old oats are small.
