* MYSTERIOUS WANDERER e TR CASE GOES TO TRIAL (By United Press) Chicago, Sept. 25.—Charged with murdering his girl-wife of a year and of slaying a_‘‘ragged-stranger” whom he is alleged to have hired to stage a fake holdup so he could kill his wife, Carl Wanderer, ex-army Heutenant, 1s scheduled to go on trial for his life here October 4. The Wanderer-case was given na- tion wide publicity because of the mystery attached to it. ‘Wanderer, just ‘out of the army, was working in his father's butcher ship. One night, according to the first story he told police, he returned home with his wife to find a ragged dressed stranger standing in the vestibule of their home. The ‘“ragged strang- er,” police sald Wanderer told them, ordered them to throw up their hands. /Wanderer stated it was dark in the vestibule. Instead of complying with the stranger’s demand, - Wanderer fired. 'When the police arrived they found the young wife and the alleged holdup man dead. ‘Wanderer for a time convinced the police that he was telling the truth until they traced the ownership of the pistol used by the ‘“ragged stranger.” It was found that the revolver had originally been sold to Wanderer. \ et After a gruelling cross-examinatio ‘Wanderer is alleged to have confess- ed to State’s Attorney Maclay Hoy- ne that he had killed both. He kill- ed his wife, about to become a moth- er, because, according to the alleged confession, he was tired of civillan life and wanted to get back in the army. It's a softer life in the army,” he told interviewers. 5 (He killed the “ragged stranger,” the alleged confession stated, because he wanted to prevent any ‘‘double crossing.” * : Acording to the story police say Wanderer told them, he hired the “ragged stranger’ 'in a West Iadison gtreet lodging house for three dollars. To date his body has not been iden- tified, though it has been lying in the county morgue for many months. Following the alleged confession Wanderer stated he didn’t care what happened to him. He said his mind was at rest and the was ready for the walk to the gallows. The state plans to demand that he be hung. * ¥ THE PIONEER WANT ADS BRING RESULTS ery, y automatic press, new fonts of type, lowing items: circle saws .

Bemidji, Minn. # &, _ GERMANS.-STICK (By United Press.) Berlin, Sept. 10 (by John Grau- denz, by Mail).—Entente authorities here doubt whether they will collect more. than a million weapons, from German citizens under the disarma- ment ‘agreement made at the recent Spa conference. This in spite of the fact they estimate there are two million rifles and revolvers in the hands of citizens and another million in possession of speculators, many of whom are known to be connected with the army organization. g Fears of the entente officials that the delivery will be small is being substantiated through sabotage meth- ods applied to the new disarmament law. For instance, the reichstag, control committee emasculated the provision for the oath concerning the amounts and depots of weapons. This the commissioner had considered his biggest club in forcing the coun to disgorge. - *Certain kriegerverein, or warriors’ societies, recently were reported to have exchanged modern models for old guns. Furthermore, power dis left to the commissioner to decide wheth- er societies such as citizens’ guards must deliver weapons or only an- nounce their possession, although they have already been dissolved. SAYS WILSON DREAMS - HAVE WEARIED SOUTH Chicago, Sept. 25.—*“The Soutdiern people are tired of words, dreams and radicalism. It's time to get back to the Constitution and sanity,” Sena-|’ tor Albert B. Fall of New Mexico sald upon a recent visit to Republican headquarters here. “The south is not for internation- alism,” tbe Senator continued, ‘“‘and you will find after the vote has been counted in November that a great many heretofore strong Democrats have voted the. republican ticket. There are three great issues before the southern people: An all-round protective tariff, the Mexican situa- tion, and the Wilson League of Na- tions.” : Senator Fall asserted that for the first time in years the republicans of El Paso, .Texas, are fighting for the election of their ticket assisted by Democrats dissatisfied with the Wil- son administration.

N 6t9-25 _— RAIL RATE INCREASE New Yeork, Sept. 25.—Uppermost in the minds of shippers and receiv- ars of goods and the consuming pub- lic, i8 the subject of the recent raise in rallroad freight rates and its ef- fect upon prices. On first thought it wauld appear that any increase in transportation rates would mean a sorresponding increase in the cost to ‘he consumer of the materials trans- sorted. However, in a recent address to members of his organization, R. E. sulton, vice president of the Inter- qational Motor company, took excep- “jon to this popular idea and showed ~hy the increase should in rcality, -educe the cost of living. “Expensive transportation is far ‘heaper than no transportation,” :aid Mr. Fulton. “To a very large ex- ‘ent, 'the present high cost- of living ‘s the result of attempting to carry »n transportation at rates which did 1ot allow the railroads sufficient rev- ;nue to maintain adequate service. Viany of the apparent _shortages vhich have forced up prices have yeen the result of inability to move »0o0ds to markets. Likewise, interest m capital involved in commodities ted up by lack of transportation fa- silities, must be included in the final wrice of all articles delayed in tran- +it. The waste of perishable com- . modities is another important addi- ,loh’—-—a recent congressional investi- sation proved that fully 50 per cent \f the perishable food products of \merica are wasted thru insufficient nethods of transportation. If giving he railroads adequate compensation cor their service will aid to establish 'n uninterrupted flow of merchandise ‘rom the producer to the consumer, hen a general lowering of prices is ound to result, and the cost of main- aining such a steady flow will be 10thing as compared to the price th& sountry has already paid for inade- (uate transportation. «It is the same way with motor ‘ruck_transportation. Every dollar ypent to build adequate highways is wn investment in lower commodity _orices. On the other hand, any un- -ustified restriction or discourage- nent to economical hauling such as| +hat offered by larger capacity trucks ‘s just as poor business as to handi- sap railroad freight transportation. And ply because they are heavier. same loads means costs for the transportation And even then road wear increased because degree of road wear pacity decreases as truck increases. stead of a single large truck, roads are forced to which adds to road destruction. “Transportation only ‘when it is wasteful. the railroad or motor truck, economy to common assumption when a, fiect in freedom of traffic, 160 unfortunately, most of the leg- islative effort along this line uas ‘been unjustified since it has been based on' the mere assumption that large ca- pacity trucks wear out the roads sim- Legis- lators fail to realize that the use of trucks of half the capacity. for the two trucks instead of one and therefore more trucks on the highway as well as far greater of goods. would be the use of lighter trucks means higher speed and the is proportionate to the rate of speed.
