guardsmen so that they will be able
to meet similar situations in future
in a like creditable fashion.

alimony. Convinced she was a
widow, Mrs. Clark later was mar
ried to John Conrad Jetter, who beat
her frequently and fearfully and
finally railroaded her to an asylum
for the insane. .
Recently the woman obtained her
release and began divorce proceed
ings against Jetter, who filed a
cross bill stating that her first hus
band was living. With the assist
ance of the Port Hope police the
woman confirmed this charge, and
Judge" Mangan promptly annulled
her marriage to Jetter. She is now
Mrs. Clark again and in a position
to force her husband to continue
payments of alimony, probably
dating back to 1913, when she was
married to Jetter.

WHEAT RISE PREDICTED
High Treasury Official Says Bet
ter Prices Are Coming.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 28.
Better prices for wheat in the near
future were foreseen today by high
treasury officials. The present low
level, officials declared, is bound to
be -bettered with improvement In
transportation facilities and the de
mand for wheat abroad which will
come later.
Inability of the railroads to trans
port wheat to seaboard, has been
partly responsible for low prices, it
it believed at the treasury, but there
also has been a lack of demand in
Europe. While no world wheat
shortage is foreseen, it is declared
there will be need for all the aur
plus wheat of this country and
Canada, particularly since little
Russian export wheat is expected.

SOUTH BEND, Ind., Sept. 28
j Mrs. Augusta Tiernan searched her
house today, gathering together her
wardrobe and the clothing of her
children. And as she prepared to
go away and forget, for a time at
least, the scene of her eelf-alleged
clandestine love meetings and the
home of -her husband she searched
from attic to basement for the play
things of "Baby Billy" and the two
Tiernan children whom she is de
termined to take with her.
There -was no sign of reconcilia
tion in the Tiernan household. Mrs.
Tiernan and Baby Billy will leave
South Bend as soon as possible after
the court determines the extent of
Harry Poulin's guilt, she said. She
was undecided as to where she
would go or just when she would
leave.
"If the court finds Harry Poulin
innocent of betng the father of my
baby by, I fear that I shall never
be able to stand it," she said. "They
don't want me to go to the court
room Saturday morning, but I shall
be there and if the verdict is against
me I fear I shall collapse. I know
who is the father of my last born
baby. Harry' Poulin must pay, and
if they tell me that he is not Billy's
father I shall prove in a higher
court that he is.
Something Might Happen.
"I don't know where I am going,
but I shall leave. Professor Tiernan
wants to place our two children in
a school in Chicago. I shall fight to
take them with me. I couldn't live
with a single one of them away
from me.
"There has been no reconciliation.
John has stood by me wonderfully
and perhaps the trial has brought us
more closely together, but he has
recognized that only for the purpose
of proving Harry guilty. He has
not offered to forget our past and
start life anew, and I am in no
position to ask him to.
"Yes, there is a chance that some
thing may happen before I leave
that would again unite us in that
happiness that was ours on our wed
ding day. But whether or not we
separate, I shall go away and take
my Rabies, to rest from the strain
of this ordeal. I shall remain away
at least until the second trial. Then
I shall return. Professor Tiernan
has pledged to stand by me to right,
so far as possible, the wrong that
Harry Poulin has placed upon us
Poulin has paid, through notoriety
and publicity but not enough. He
must pay to the very limit, and I
shall fight to the highest court to
prove him the father of my boy."
Faith In Doctor Gone.
Mrs. Tiernan may go to the home
of her mother in Bronson, Mich.,
to recuperate. Although she met a
French woman in Chicago yesterday
who invited her to visit indefinitely
at their home, she hesitated to go.
Chicago is so big and noisy; I'd
rather go into the country to rest,"
she said.
Mrs. Tiernan, bitterly disappoint
ed after her conference with Dr. Al
bert Abrams, California specialist,
in Chicago, has lost faith in his
ability to prove the paternity of a
child through blood tests. She be
lieves that he has nothing but theory
and neither she nor her husband
would permit him to test their blood.
Any other surgeon would be called
in preference, they intimated, if a
blood test were taken.
'He asked if I would be content
to accept his finding, if he should
declare Professor Tiernan the father
of the baby. I told him no, that I
knew without doubt who the child's
father was. Then he -would, do
nothing, except in open court," she
said.
Woman's Sanity' Donbted.
He questioned her sanity.
Professor Tiernan returned from
Notre Dame this afternoon after his
first day. in the classroom. His
legal mind has caused him to scout
Dr. Abrams' ability. He had held
high, hopes for the test, but after a
conference with the surgeon would
under no conditions submit to a. test
by him.
It's great to get back in the har-
ness at the university. The boys
treat me finely, wonderfully," he
smiled.
and Dr. George Parrish, city health
officer.
Dr. Hamilton after the treatment
said that the injection was of a
chemical nature with antidotal re
action, working on the patient In the
same way as any ether antidote. It
put the patients into a sub-conscious
state, from which they are expected
to emerge about Sunday, morning

The addicts were prepared for the
injection yesterday and were given
large doses of morphine in the morn
ing to .keep them in a receptive con
dition during the day. The injec
tions were administered . shortly
after 8 o'clock in the presence of
several physicians and welfare
workers. After they recover from
the injection the 'addicts will be
watched for a short time to deter
mine the merits of the secret cure.
YOUTH IS DOUBLE SLAYER
WOMAN AND MAN DECLARED
KILLED BY SINGLE SHOT.
Not Murder but Accident, Young
Man Affirms, but Police
Maintain Otherwise.
(By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.)
NEW YORK, Sept. 28. While the
police were searching today for the
slayer of Mrs. , Lillian Schmidt,
known to the east side as "The
Polish Queen," and Bernard Rosner,
aid by the police to be a character
with a long record, Edward Hod
nett, 22 ' years old, walked into
police headquarters and announced
that he did the killing.
Hodnett, also known as Ferone
and Donohoe, occupied the room in
East Eleventh street in which the
bodies of Mrs. Schmidt and Rosner
were found soon after the shooting
last night. The story he told the
police was that both were killed by
a single shot -which lie fired acci
dentally from a revolver he was
examining.
Hodnett said that he and the
Queen" were in the room when
Rosner came in, carrying a small
box from which he took an auto
matic pistol which he handed to
Hodnett to examine. As he toyed
with it, Hodnett said, the weapon
went off and the bullet passed
through Mrs. Schmidt's head as she
sat on the bed and entered Rosner s
abdomen. Terrified, Hodnett fled.
Today, he said, lie decided to give
himself up.
Although the secretary of the
medical examiner said tonight there
was a wound straight through the
-woman's head and that the killing
might have occurred as Hodnett
said, the police, insisting there was
evidence of a struggle before the
shooting, held Hodnett on a charge
of homicide.

Scientific Service
in Fitting
egal Shoes
The fitting device illustrated above scientifically and automatically
registers and records, and translates into Shoe Sizes, the length and width
of the shoe required to properly fit each stockinged foot when the
Standing Weight is placed on the sensitive springs.
The mechanism of this Fitting Machine is scientifically adjusted to measure
the "foot expansion" (length and width) under the weight of the body when
a woman is shopping or dancing or a man is walking or running, and the
function of the foot under these conditions is to balance, propel and guide
that weight. .
The United States Government and the Regal Shoe Company have the
exclusive use of this Measuring Machine which was designed and
developed by the President of this Company and officially adopted for
use by the United States Army Sept. 20, 1918 and also used by Navy and
Marine Corps and in all training camps during the war
EXTRACT FROM A MANUAL FOR COMMISSIONED OFFICERS
WAR DEPARTMENT
Document No. 879
October 28. 1918 Office of The Adjutant General
"In all the tests made in 1917 and 1918, summarized as follows, the fitting
system, herein made official, was employed."
"In August, 1917, a survey of the enlisted men's feet at a camp showed
that 81.77 per cent, of them were in shoes from one-half to three and
one-half sizes too short; 3.07 per cent. were wearing too-long shoes.
' and 15.16 per cent, were wearing correct-size shoes."
"At another, camp, in August, 1918, 88.6 per cent, of the men were found
to be wearing shoes from one-half to three and one-half sizes too short;
1.4 per cent were wearing too long shoes, and 10 per cent, of the men
were wearing shoes of correct size."
The old "Rule of Thumb," Foot-Rule, Tape Measure or Size Stick doesn't
measure the expansion of the tranverse arch or the extension of the longitu
dinal arch under the weight of the body when marching and that's the rea
son for the alarming condition revealed by these reliable statistics.
Our experiments in measuring the feet of new customers this Season in
the Chain of Sixty Regal Stores from New York to San Francisco have
convinced us that the percentage of "misfits" in the Army Survey is not
materially changed in Civilian Shoes.
We believe that proper fitting is the most valuable service that can be
offered to the public, and as a result of our tests we have installed this
Measuring Machine in every Regal Store, and whether or not you are a
Regal Customer, this Scientific Measuring Machine is now
At Your Service"
