GONFESSES MURDER, DESTROYED CORPSE s e e W, J. Lincoln Tels ol Slaying Vil as She Kild Brothr Aurora, I, Jan. 14—Warren J. Lineeln, lawyer, horticulturist and dis- taiit’ kinsman of Abriham Lincoln, confessed last night that he killed his | wife, Lina, dismembered « her body, and burned it, January 10, 1923, along| brother, # Byron | with that of her Shoup, who, he maintained, had been ‘ghot to death Ly Mrs. Loncoln. Appears and Disappears Lincoln disappeared from his home April 30 last, and his wife and Shoup were suspected of his murder. The lawyer-horticulturist suddenly reap- peared on June 10, explaining his ab. gence by charging Mrs. Lincoln and 8houp had kidnapped him, only to wisappear again four months later When whispers of suspicion that he possibly had slain his wife and her brother reached him. A fortnight ago the Aurora police told the Associated Press that they were searching for Lincoln to question him about the dis- appearance of his wife and Shoup, and when he applied for a position in Chi- cago last Thursday, learned of his ad- dress through the firm with whiclr’lm] sought employment. Confesses to Murder Arrested Saturday, and confronted with charges that he had done away with the brother and sister, Lincoln confessed, concluding with “I'm glad to get that load off my soul,” Lincoln collapsed as he uttered the last. words of his confession and the police left a part of his story unre- lated, The “plant” to foree the conclu- sion that he had met with foul play when he left home last April, his night &hirt smeared with blood, his night cap similarly discolored, and a blood- | stained Indian club, along with a stained glove his wife had worn, and a pool of blood in his greenhouse, was left for later explanation, He was not usked to re-enact the double killing, becanse of his weakened condition, but he told of it in vivid language.

Then I swung for her head, T cut up their bodies and burned them next night.” Lincoln, in his confession, told how e had observed with satisfaction the epparent police and newspaper ac- ceptance of the theory that he had been murdered. He told how he traveled about the country in fancied seourity and of his return bedause he necded money. g Collected Money He admitted insertion of “personal” advertiseinents in ne apers, signing them *Lin his wife’s name and ad- mitted authorship of letters to his wife's relatives, asking and receiving money from them in Mrs. Lincoln's name and confessed signing Shoup's name to a check on a Aurora bank, where Shoup had a large account.

' ANOTHER BONUS BILL New Measure is Based on Insurance Premjums Paid and Also on Liberty | | Bond Subscriptions. | Washington, Jan. 14-—Another sol- diers’ bonus bill was proposed today in the senate,’ It is sponsored by iSt-nalor Bursum, republican, New Mexico, and calls for return of the eterans of family and insurance al- | lotments deducted from their pay and la percenmfie of their subscriptions to | Liberty bonds while in service, plus | additional compensation at the rate | of $20 a month for each month of | service, ! Payments would be made in cash | ever a period of four years, one- { fourth of the veterans to be paid each | year in full or in the form of insur- ance, as they might elect. The insur- |ance would be payable at death on the basis of $400 for each $100 of | cash due or the policy might be sur- | rendered at the end of 20 years at its| {cash value, based upon annmal pre- | miums plus 4 per eent interest. j Estimating that 75 per cent of the | veterans would elect to take insur- {ance, Senator Bursum calculates the cost to the treasury at $125,000,000 each year for the first four years and $60,000,000 annually for the succeed- ing 16 years. MAY LIMIT STUDENTS | Harvard be Curtailed as Solution to { | Overcrowding. | Cambridge, Mass., Jan, 14.-—-A sug- gestion that Harvard ugiversity limit, at least temporarily, the number of students in the college as a solution to the ‘problem of increased appli- cants secking admission, was made | by President A. Lawrence Lowell in | his annual report today to the board of ovorseers, “The question has presented itself | this autumn In an acute form,” said Mr. Lowell. “The idea of limiting the number of students in the college Is not agreeable, and no one would pro- pose it as a finality, or suggest that there is here some permament size of maximum usefulness; but for a time the conditions of the teaching staff and equipment may render it impos- sible to do full justice to more than a definite number of students. That is, In fact, our situation today, as it is also Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth and other colleges which have set a limit to the number of their students. “We have been brought for the present to a position where either the service we can render to our students must be reduced, or thelr numter for A time must be limited; and between these alternatives we can hardly hesi- tate."” Suggestion Made That Enrollment at) 1ggested by Dr. Lowell is that of creating distinct honor and passing degrees, based up- on different requirements in the grade of scholarship and in the content of the curriculum, MEETS IN NEW YORK lSilver Gup towBevGiven Winner at Banquet in New Britain A meeting of the general commit- 11ee having charge of the contest be- tween the three largest Bible classes |of the eastern states was held in Mount Vernon, N.
