Hartford, May i7.—Karl A, Badsing, who was convicted in Chi of hav- ing poisoned his bride of two months for the sake of the $2,000 insurance on her life, had for his victim a member of a former Hartford family. Mrs. Badsing was Miss Mabel Reld. At the age Of 14 years she lived in this city with her parents. The Reld family lived at No. 152 Sevmour street, in the house formerly occupled by Rev. Dr. Reid, was,a woodworker emploved a concern on SHeldon street. After & residence of two years here the family moved to Chicago ten years ago. Mr. Reld died in 1905 of coi on, and the yvoungest daughter died in 1909. Mabel Reid, who became the murder- er's victim, was a pupll at the South school while in this eity. Of the Reid family, living now at No. 1623 North Irving avenue in Chi- cago, there mow remains Mrs. W. C. Reld and a son, Guy W.-A. Reid Mrs. Reld was instrumental in bringing the charges against Badsing which result- ed in his conviction and a life sen- tence in prison. It was also claimed that Badsing has dispos2d of his first 1907, for the same reason—to securs the insurance money on fer life. The first wife died in November, 1908. _On’ June 15, 1310, Badsing married again. Miss Mabel Reid was the bride. Just two months Iater, August 15, Mrs. Badsing died. In both cases the cause was declared to be ptomaine polsoning. It was learned, however, that Badsing had taken out iwo in- surance policles of $1,000 each upon the life of his. second wife. The cir- cumstances of the death were coneid- ered pecullar emough fo warrant an investigation, and Badsing was arrest- ed at a branch office of the - tial Life Insurance company m called to collect the insurance meney. Chemical analysis of the orsans of Mrs. Badsing revealed four grains of arsenic, and when the trial occurred in April the jurors took but an heur of deliberation in determining that Bad- sing was guilty of the charge of poi- soning his wife. During the trial, As- sistant State's Attorney Frederic Burnham, who prosecuted the case, drew a parallel between the case and the Hoch and Billek cases, the last two being notorious wife murderers. Following the return of the verdict, Badsinz’s counsel entered a motion for = new trial, and this was set down on the motion calendar. CLAIM OF UNDUE INFLUENCE IN THE BULL WILL CASE.

Another Advance Step. Recognizing that there may be ques- itions of policy and other matterslike- Iy to force nations to the brink of war, but which no people would be willing to arbitrate, the tentative draft of the treaty provides that differcnces that either party consider within 1is cate- | gory shall be referred to a commisgiorn | af inquiry empowered to make recom- mendat for their settlement. In this t the treaty will take an- other ad¥anced step by binding the disputants to arbitration in case the commission of inquiry declares that the controversy shall be arbitrated. Arbitration Always a Last Resort. Arbitration will in all cases be a last resort. After the two' countries have conchided that it is impossible to set- te a dispute by diplomatic inter- change, the question will be submit- ted to & commission of inquiry charged with the duty of suggesting a way to avoid. arbitration, if possible.

Costs $5.35 Less in Canada. Summarized briefly, the report says tha: 2 tor of news print paper is made in Canada for $5.35 less than it is made in the United States. The aver- age Canadian cost is given at $27.3 and the average rcost in the United States at $32.85. The duty upon a ton of rews print paper under the present tariff is $3.75. A Very Complete Document. The document. presenis extensive tablez, comparisons and other tabula- tion: It is declared to be the mlrst{ compiete thing of its kind e at- tempted. The entire force of the tariff board has been engaged upon it for monihs. Several factors entering into the incrzaed cost of manufacture ‘n the United States are taken up ex- haustiveiy in the report. Pulp Wpod Costs Double Here. The principal increases are said 1o be due te the fact that a ton of puip twice as much in the Uniicd States as it does in Canada and that many of the American mills have much older and much less effi- icnt equipment than the Canadian | s said to De responsible large increased manufacturing for a cost. Labor Costs About the Same. In the cost of labor employed, tho differences in the two countries are shown to be very small. The total av- .erage cost of a ton of ground wood pulp in bulk at a mill in the United States is $14.59; in Canada it is $9.56. Materials Cost Nearly $6 More Hers Per Ton. he total cost of a ton of sulphite fibre in the United States is $31.39; in Canada it is $26.47. The total materials entering into ths manufacture of a ton of new print paper in Canada are shown as $16.84 and -in the United States as $22.74. The labor cost of a tor of paper in the United States is shown to be $3.27 and in Canada $3.19. Al other ailowances for manufacturing costs in the United States arz $6.87 and in Canada $7.45.

One feature of the r rt shows that the-gost-of print paper in the United States varies The lowest cest recorded is $24.50 a ton, the highest is $48. From this the tariff bo: strikes an average of $32.83. At the Canadian mills the lowest pricz recorded for producing a ton of news print paper is $24.97 a the highest is $30.18. Average, $27. Wood for Pulp Costs Doubl: Tn accounting for the increased cost of the pulp wood it is shown at an American mill the average cost of a ton of wood for ground puip is $10.73; in Canada $5.70. The average cost of the ground wood pulp entering into a tor of news print paper in the United States is given at $13.27; Canadian value $8.49. The average cost of the sulphite fiore in 3 ton of paper at a mill in the United States is- given at $863; Canadian valuation $7.41; man- wfacturing lahor in the Unit#d States and in Canada 33.19.

Washington, —The resigna- tions of two members of the board of governors and the secretary of the Metropolitan club in this city, made known today, since a speech by Pres- ident Taft last night, in which he de- nounzed “small-headed men” who, in clubs, attempt to manifest their great- ness by blackballing men of promi- nence_proposed for membership, have stirred official and social Washington to_the core. Presidont ‘Laft. who is a member of the exclusive Metropolitan, was re- ported several weeks ago to have felt “some resentment over the exclusion from the organization of several new- 1y elected congressmen and senators proposed for membership by some of the most Influential men in the club. Among the men excluded was one of whom the president is ‘said to be par- ticularly fond. The flurry caused by the club's ac- tion .at that time had partially died gown, when, last night, in an address at the Jewish temple, the president revived the subject by saving that he had friends—Gentilas—kept out of clubs “by peovle who were not worthy 1o button up their shoes.” This was followed by the announce- ment todey that Brigadier General Clarence R. Edwards of the bureau of insular affairs, an intimate friend of President Taft; Lieut.-Col. Charles L. MecCauley of the marine corps, former- 1y a_ White house aide, and Capt. T. M. Potts of the navy had resigned their official positions with the Metro- politan club, General Edwards and Captain Potts were members of the board of governors, and Zolonel Me- Cauley was secretary of the club. All three of the officers asked that their resignations take effect at once, but Captain Potts =nd Colonel McCauley later agreed to serve until next Octo- Dber on account of the difficulty of fill- ing their places at this time of the vear. General Edwards, however, in- sisted his résignation be accepted im- mediately. It 1s said that the resignations of Messrs, Edwards, McCauley and Potts means that in the future no officer in the active service of the army, nav: or marine corps il hold office in the Metropolitan club. - Friction created by the exclusion Of senators, repre- sentatives and other men of promi- nence in official life has been miore or less frequent and it is believed has not worked to the best interest of the varlous branches of the milifary serv- ice. Associate Justite Hughes of the su- preme court has incurred the enmity of three members of the Metropolitan club, who informed a friend recently that they would “take pleasure in blackballing Mr, Hughes if at any time his name were proposed for member- ship to the .club” Their opposition Wwas based on the campaign against the race tracks in New York, while the justice was governor of ‘that state. The three members are interested in horges. This develored today. Jus- tice Hughes' name has not been pro- posed to the club, however, FINDS CORRUPTION IN LORIMER ELECTION His Investigating Committee . Says Election Was Dud to Bribery.
