Questioning of a dozen witnesses by the senate com mittee investigating camnaiirn e-r- f penditurcs today resulted in charges that the high cost of living bureaus established by the department of justice were "political enterprises." intended primarily to "bring about the nomination of Attorney-General A. Mitchell Talmer for president by the democratic national convention." Miss Olivia Brueggeman, formerly executive secretary of the Missouri women's committee to reduce the high cost of living, was one of the witnesses. Annunl font Put at $100,000. Miss Brueggeman said there are 18 "H. C. L." bureaus in the country, "run at a cost of at least $100,000 a year," and that she understood they also were used to advocate Talmer's i-and idacy. "They were apparently to organize counties, but in reality to boost Fal iner for president," she said. Miss Brueggeman also declared workers supposed to address meet ings on the high cost of living actu ally spoke only on Palmer, telling "what a fine man he would be for president." These workers frequently traveled at government expense, she declared. "I was dismissed from my office because I was a republican," she said. .Miss Brueggeman said that after three months In office she was dis missed and summoned to Washing ton, where she conferred with How ard Figg, assistant attorney-general. "He previously had asked me," Miss Brueggeman continued, "to in clude literature favorable to Palmer in the 'H. C. L.' literature sent out. The 'H. C. L." office was purely a political enterprise. Palmer Boosting Related. "This literature ostensibly was "H. C. L.' literature, but much of It was not published. This caused com plaint from Mr. Figg. "Miss Mary Scott drew $200 a month and was seldom in the office more than two hours a day. A Miss Halsey Wilson was sent here by the department of justice to speak on the 'H. C. L." She addressed sev eral meetings and did nothing but boost Palmer for president. "The only time Miss Wilson men tioned the "H. C. L." was when she said the way to reduce It was 'to elect Palmer president.' -wnen talking to Mr. Figg at Washington, I told him I did not know It was a political organization but that it did not make any difference who was boosted, for the republicans had to have some one to run against, y.

Miss Mary Scott, mentioned by Miss Brueggeman, then was called to the stand. She said the principal object of the bureau to reduce living costs was to teach the people to do away with non-essentials. She admitted a charge by Miss Brueggeman that she used government money to go to the democratic state convention at Joplin. she said the plan was to urge "H. C. L." reduction at the convention.

ANOTHER mmmmii "' i, i li ; Captain Emanuel Tonncson Arrives in Seattle From Nome and Tells of Expedition. SEATTLE. Wash., July 9. (Spe cial.) Captain Roald Amundsen, now in northern Siberia, will make a dash for the north pole this fall in an effort to confirm or refute the claims of the late Rear-Admiral Robert E. Peary that he had discovered the northernmost point of the earth. This fact became known today when Captain Emmanuel Tonneson, a member of the Amundsen party, was found in Seattle, visiting friends. Captain Tonneson came to this city Monday aboard the Nome liner Vic toria, but he remained in seclusion until today. He said he did not know the exact location of Amundsen's party at present, but that he was satisfied the explorer is safe. He added that Amundsen probably will call at Nome some time in the near future, because as he plans to reach the pole on the present expedition it will be necessary for him to get ad ditional supplies. According to persons familiar with Arctic conditions, it will be entirely possible for Amundsen to reach Nome this summer, and he may get there within the next few weeks. Captain Tonneson is the first mem ber of the Amundsen party to return from the far north since the expedi tion started, more than two years ago. His return was necessitated by the fact that his feet were frozen on the Anadyr river, Siberia. He will leave Seattle tomorrow for New York, where he will embark for Norway about July 16 on a Norwegian-American liner. On reaching his home he will be the first man to have traveled around- the world by way of the northwest passage from Europe to America. He is also the first man to reach Seattle or any other American Pacific port by' this route. Captain Tonneson's feet were frozen when, in company with Captain Han sen, first officer of Amundsen's ship, the Maud, and another member of the crew, he left the vessel in the ice northwest of East Cape and attempt ed to reach a settlement to the south in order to send cables to Norway. The Amundsen expedition in the Maud left .Chrlstiania June 25, 1918, and wintered the first year off the northernmost point of Siberia and the second winter about 1800 miles eastward.

Document Signed in Form Sought by Allies. INVASION AGAIN PROTESTED Entente Decides Occupation, Says Lloyd George.' GERMANY MAY RESIST Experts to Study Difficulties Bringing War Guilty to Trial After Arrest. of SPA. Belgium, July 9. (By the As sociated Press.) Germany, in con formity with the unanimous decision of her cabinet, today signed the protocol for her speedy disarmament insisted upon by the allies. Chancellor Fehrenbach and Dr. Simons, foreign minister, affixed their signatures to the document, which was drawn in the exact form submitted by Marshal Foch and Field Marshal Wilson, the allied military chiefs. The signature was preceded by a notification from Dr. Simons on behalf of his government that in signing the protocol Germany did not give her consent to further occupation of Ger man territory, which could only be g'iven by the reichstag. Allien to Decide lnvaiion. Premier Lloyd George said he quite understood that ooint of view. The question ol further occupation in the event of Germanv not observing the stipulations of the treaty and protocol, however, was one for the allies to determine and not for the German parliament, he declared. The protocol was signed in a 'small room adjoining the conference cham ber. Chancellor Fehrenbach and Dr. Simons signed first. After laying down the pen they bowed to Mr. Lloyd George as though saying: "Well, that disagreeable business is fin ished." Lloyd George Bow. Mr. Lloyd George bowed cour teously in return. Herr Gelssler, minister of defense, was not present but he voted earlier in the German cabinet council for signing the pro tocol. Asked by M. Delacroix, Belgian pre mier, at the opening of the morning session what reply the German dele gates had to make regarding the dis armament protocol. Dr. Simons de clared: "The German delegation has decided to sign," adding, "Under the German constitution we have no power to alter the treaty and recognize that the protocol relates merely to its execution and grants the Germans certain delays. On the other hand, the allied threat to occupy the Ruhr or other German territory in case of non-fulfillment of the conditions really means alteration in favor of the allies. The German delegation can find no clause in the treaty requiring Germany to consent to such occupa tion except in the case of non-execution of the reparations clauses." After a short adjournment. Premier Lloyd George took the floor and said: Signing Avert Dinaster. "I am very glad the German dele gation has decided to sign the proto col. It would have been disastrous if the conference had been broken off." He then pointed out that the proto cal contained real concessions to Ger many, saying it gave her more time to sign and allowed her certain in creases in the number of officers and armament, notably machine guns. He declared: "The first official report required from Germany as to execution of the terms will be forthcoming September 1, giving her two months to put dis armament underway." As to Dr. Simons' objections to the clause providing for further occupa tion, the premier asserted: "The protocol signed January 10 provided that in event Germany failed to fulfil her obligations the powers reserved the right to use all military measures." Allies Sisn Protocol. The conference then proceeded to a discussion of war criminals, while secretaries drafted the disarmament protocol for signature. When the document was ready the delegates filed into a room adjoining the con ference chamber and Chancellor Feh renbach advanced first. "How shall I sign?" he asked. A secretary replied: "With your natural signature." The German premier then affixed his sig nature, followed by M. Delacroix, Premier Lloyd George. Premier Mil lerand. Count Sforza.

Center ot Great Irrigation Proj ect Penetrated by Party Whicli Wonders at Waste. BT R. G. CALLVERT. OTHELLO. Wash.. July 9. (Staff Correspondence.) Thi3 dispatch Is filed at a town which stands virtually in the center of the Columbia basin Irrigation project. It is almost 50 miles in any direction to the border of the lands it is hoped to irrigate. To this point the sight-seeing party of editors and representatives of com mercial bodies came by automobile today from Quincy, a town on the northern border of tho project. Seventy-five miles of virtual desert were traversed, the route taken being round about for purposes ot better observation. Once the same land was a land of hope and promise as a dry farming area. The soil is deep, the land level, the sunshine abundant Every element except sufficient water was there to make it a paradise. But dry farming failed. Now the plains are dotted with the deserted cottages of the homesteaders. There are dozens of these deserted farms. A few have stuck it out. Some have made good by pumping water from wells 150 to 300 feet deep. The leaders of today's excursion guided the party to two points of elevation. One overlooked the Quincy valley of 275,000 acres, every acre as fertile as that of the Yakima. At another point on Saddle mountain the party overlooked the district sloping off toward White Bluffs and majestic sweep of the Columbia, which could be seen in the distance. Here lie 100.000 acres of the best corn land on earth, so the soil ex pert told us. The route lay through thie "corn land." Its present out standing features are sagebrush, jackrabbits and deserted shacks.

AIDE IN PLOT ALSO VICTIM Pretty Girl Bride of Year About to Become Mother. GUN TRAPS MURDERER I Had Tired of Married Life and Longed to Go Back to Army," Arvli-Fiend Confesses. CHICAGO. July !. (Special.) Carl Wanderer, formerly a lieutenant in a machine gun company, who was re cently acclaimed a hero for killing in a pistol duel a robber who had attacked him and shot and killed his wife, is locked up tonight on his own confession that he killed his wife and. to avert suspicion, sacrificed an unidentified man. w ner. tne ponce reached his home on the nigh of June 21. the ex-officer's young wife, about to become a mother, was dead. In the vestibule was the body of a roughly-dressed youth with three bullet wounds in it. Mrs. Wanderer was fatally shot through the body. Wanderer was not injured. He told a tale of taking his wife to a theater, being followed by a strange man on their return and a conflict in the vestibule when the man tried to rob them. rli-e Trace 'Weapons. An army pistol was found beside the body of the man. The police dis covered that Wanderer owned both weapons, that his wife had drawn $1300 out of a bank but a few hours before she was killed. Tonight, the police say. he con fessed what he avers is the truth. "I killed my wife and this man in a 'frame-up' robbery to get her out of the way, obtain the money she had and go back to the army. I don't know who the man is. I met him on Madison street and offered to divide the money if he would help me in pulling off a fake robbery. He did not know I was going to shoot my wife; he didn't know he was going to get killed himself, either. "I had become tired of married life and longed to go back to the army. I had my wife withdraw $1300 from the bank on the plea that we ought to'have it nearby to pay her hospital expenses. 1 planned the robbery to take place while the money was in the flat. Accomplice Isj Tricked. "I did not intend to give any of the money to the man engaged to play the part of robber. He came to the entrance and followed us in as I planned. Then I began shooting with two revolvers. I shot my wife first it was very dark then I turned one of the guns on the man and fired altogether ten times." The body of the man killed by Wanderer is that of a youth of 22, dressed in an army shirt and tattered coat and trousers. He has not been identified. The one thing which Wanderer overlooked, and which brought about his arrest, was the number on the weapon which the alleged robber used. This number was traced from the factory to a retailer, then to Fred Wanderer, a cousin, from whom Carl Wanderer borrowed it the day of the double killing. Ciun Placed by Victim. When he had committed the double slaying he placed hi3 cousin's revolver by the side of the unidentified stranger and told the police his wife had been shot in the exchange of bul lets which passed between him and the "hold-up" man. The suspicions of the police were aroused by the unemotional manner in which he related the shooting inci dent. Apparently the police forgot about the shooting and Wanderer was given his freedom. Actually, how ever, the homicide squad was tracing the automatic. It was only a matter of time until they learned it had been purchased by his cousin. His arrest followed Wednesday night. The confession came at the close of a 16-hour grilling this morning at de tention home No. 1. When he had fin ished he left only one point in doubt, the identity of the poorly-dressed tramp whom he had hired from the street to "frame" a hold-up, which was to be his excuse for killing both his aide and the bride of a year, Mrs. Ruth Wanderer, 21 years old. feared "Bum" Would Squeal.
