After the property Is condemned they want the port of Seattle to leave it to them for 30 years, will the privilege of renewal for 30 years more. ‘The Bush peo- ple will in that event agree to put in $2,600,000 within three years to push the terminal project ahead.

Ip addition, they alay want the port of Seattle to inud bonds for $3,000,000 more in the erection of piers and other improve ments, The $5,000,000 thus put in by the port of Seattle will be repaid by the terminal company at the end of 47 years, the Bush people agreeing to pay the interest and to establish a sinking fund to retire the bonds. At the expfratt of the lease, which will be for at least 20 years, and probably for 60 years, all the improvements, both those put up by the port of Seattle and those built by the company, will revert to the people, People Must Before the project can be adopted it must first be put up by the port commissioners to a vote of the peo ple, The port commissioners will consider the matter this afternoon and decide whether it is sufficiently meritorious to be submitted to an election.

Albert Wolter Goes to Death Coolly for Murder of Young Ruth Wheeler—Protests His Innocence. (By United Press Leased Wire) SING SING, N. Y., Jan. 29.—Pro- testing his innocence to the last, Albert Wolter went coolly to hi death in the electric chair here ly today, with a amile on his lips. Wolter was executed for the mur- der two years ago of Ruth Wheele: who had applied to.him for a posi- tion as stenographer in response to an advertisement. Several days later the body of the girl, horribly mutilated, was found in Wolter’ room. As he was Jed away from his cell, Wolter turned to the 18 other con- demned murderers in “death row” and said: “Good-by, boys, it will soon be over pow,” “1 Am Innocent” The condemned man slept well last night, but had asked to be called at 2 o'clock this morning to write @ atatement for the public, which follows: “To be given to the public by Warden J. 8. Kennedy. “January 29, 1912, 2 a. m.—Now that I am departing from earth and going into the presence of God, I wish to make this Inst statement: “The world bas refused me jus- tice, but our Father in heaven who knows our inmost thoughts- He will give me pure and undefiled Justice. “I wish to state that I AM INNO- CENT of the crime of which I was convicted. I am the victim of cir- cumstances. I hope the time will come when the conscience of the perpetrator of the murder of Ruth Wheeler will overpower him and force him to acknowledge his guilt. My earnest prayer is that God will bring the perpetrator of this crime to justice, and my name be cleared of the stain, so that the public will understand the injustice done me— that they have killed an innocent boy. “To those who have given me as- sistance and trusted in me, I give my sincerest thanks. To those who have maliciously prosecuted me and killed me, I pray God's forgive: ness.” Smok, After writing statement, which was given to the Rev, Dr. Buemyer, Wolter smoked a cigar, slept another hour, and arose vol- untarily at 4 o'clock to prepare for death Steps Into Chair Smiling At 5:36 o'clock he entered electrocution room and watched with great interest while the death instrument was tested. He step- ped almost jauntily up to the death chair and smiled at the Rev. Dr, Buemyer as the straps were ad- Justed. “Good-by and God bless you,” he said to Dr. Buemyer. The current was turned on at 5:37 and three minutes later Wol- ter was pronounced dead. Dr. Buemyer was visibly affect- ed by the execution. He stood be- side the death ir, closed and his ears stuffed so that he could not see what was going on, but reciting prayers in German all the while. Thinks He Was Guilty Dr. T. D. Lane, who witnessed the conviction, said: “The crime was one of the most brutal that I have ever encoun. tered, and the manner in which Wolter met death convinced me that he was guilty. His bravado was that of a guilty man seeking to convince others of his innocence.” DIFFERENT NOW: “You didn’t used to object to your husband playing poker.” “No, but that was before I learned to play bridge.

This will probably be tomorrow Officials Won't Talk The police refuse to divulge what evidence they have in the case, or just where it comes from. The autopsy yesterday revealed the fact that two shots entered the brain and another perforated both cheeks. No “evidence of the fourth shot was found, but one of the shots in the head was not accom- panied by @e powder marks usual where the pistol is fired close to the face. Another point that has aroused the activity of the police is the fact that statement made a neighboring | woman, whose name is withheld, to} the effect that fully a minute elapsed between the first two and the last two shots.
