Spranger made full admission of tre shooting, but said that it was due 10 Melster's Jealousy over his wife. Mr. and Mrs. Meister and Spranger played cards during the afternoon and eve ning, but Meister went to a lodge meet ing after dinner, and returning abou 9:30, found his wife in Spranger' s apartment. The two were engaged alone in a game of cards. Pulled Trig-gar Tnra Tlmi. Meister had an empty revolver In his hand and pulled the trigger three times, the barrel of the gun pressed against Spranger's body, witnesses say, before Spranger finally shot him. Meister wan lnstantlv killed, the sec ond shot from Spranger's gun passing through his heart Mrs. Meister was taken with Spranger to police headquarters in a hysterical condition as a result of the shooting, but after giving a state ment in which Sprangei waa virtually exonerated, was allowed to go home with her daughters. "During the afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Meister and myself played cards in my apartment, said Spranger. in a statement to Deputy District Attorney Deich.

I have known Mrs. Meister about 20 years and knew him for fully 25 years. We waro always the best of friends, in fact lik.j two Drotners. we had not been drink ing, none of us. Mrs. Meister made a similar state ment. When she went to the door, she said Meister struck her and tore her clothing. She broke away and ran to her apartment, and returned later as the shooting started. "There was nothing between Mr Spranger and I that should have caused my husband to be Jealous," she said. We had never quarreled about Spranger." Alice Meister, the 9-year-old daughter, also made a statement. She was not home when the shooting - occurred. A. W. Glassford, a resident of the Votalar to Causa Jealousy- apartment and salesman for the Thomas D. Murphy company, was downstairs talking with Fritz Diet rich. Janitor. Meister came in. took off his coat and hat and went up stairs, liiassrora saia. some minutes later he came rushing back, aad bur rowed in his trunk and found the revolver. . "Had Caught Them la the Act," "He was very much excited and said he had caught them in the act and said he -was going to get them. Ulassford stated. Shortly afterwards two shots were heard, and Meister was found dead in the hall outside Spranger's door. Deitrich also mado statement coinciding with that of Glassford.

P.) For the flr,st time today the British press and public seemed to have arrived at a full understanding of the complex situation which President Wilson faced because of the senate rules permitting filibustering; consequently comment, both private and in the British papers, reflected a sympathetic attitude to ward the American executive and his problems. On the other hand, the "handful of senators" who blocked passage of the armed neutrality ill in the senate came In for universal exe cration for "thwarting the national will." as most newspapers expressed it. The average Briton finds it hard to understand the American leglsla tive or political system and in suoii a mix-up as the American senate foun-1 itself durinar the last two days neither the British newspapers nor the puDii; were able to fathom the .matter. .Dispatches detailing tne close or tne congressional session "featured" here by the newspapers, served to clear up much of the mystery or the situation. United Press dispatches from Wash ington Saturday and Sunday aid.ed in giving the public a dear, comprehen sive view of the dramatic close of con gress and some conception of the situa tion in which President Wilson now finds himself. British newspapers were chary about suggesting a "way out" for Wilson, but most of them seemed content to leave the problem in his hands expressing the belief that the American people were behind him In whatever he did.

YAM D HANG ON HOOK FOR COUPLE OF YEARS REGENT CODE AND ACT Insurance Code and Steriliza tion Act Will Be Targets in Referendum to Be Invoked. PETITIONS WILL BE FILED It ib Claimed That the 7ormr rata Control ia Hand of Big Oompaalea Xftr Drastle, Bangaron. The insurance code and the steriliza tion act, both passed by the last legis lature, are to be hung on the hook for a couple of years by the referendum, according to. the statement of L. D. Mahone, secretary of the Taxpayers' association, which organization is now taking preliminary steps toward that end. The preliminary petitions required by Jaw to be filed with the secretary of state are now being prepared, and will. as sow planned, be filed at Salem not later than Wednesday of this week. As soon as these have been file fend have been approved aa to form by the secretary of state, the work of secur ing signatures to the referendum peti tions will be undertaken and actively continued until the necessary 5 per cent of the legal voters of the state have been secured. JTo Badrs for Policy-Holder. The Taxpayer association, of which W. O. Powell i president, and L. D. Mahone is secretary, objects to the in surance code because it is contended that the measure throws the entire control of insurance rate making into the hands of the big insurance com- panies and leaves ;th policy-holder no workable or adequate rearess. snouia these rates become exorbitant or op pressive. The insurance code was original ly drafted by a commission headed by Harvey Wells, insurance commissioner, appointed by the governor under au thority of the. 191S legislature. us original draft was submitted to the joint Insurance committees of the house and senate at the beginning ior the-session and was worked over by those committees for the greater part of the 40 daya before finally being in troduced in the senate. Committees Xadorsad Xt. During the early days of the session much objection was raised against th.) proposed code, it being the current im pression that the measure was tn favorably received by the insurance men generally to carry any regulatory provisions that might be objectlonab'o to them. After various hearings in: been had. and many ameiraments hao been made to the original draft, this undercurrent of comment died down. and the code bill went through house and senate with practically no opposv tion, and upon the recommendation or the committees to the effect that they had spent much time upon It and weie willing to give tt their fall indorse ment. Sterilization Too Drastic The sterilization act ia opposed on biological and sociological grounds, it belng contended not only that the peo ple have once rejected a similar meas ure, but that the advanced thinkers are opposed to such legislation as o- ing too drastic and dangerous. No effort will be made by the Tax payers'- association to place the tw measures on the ballot for the special election, it having been decided in the rirst place that the measures could not be considered at that time, under the law. and second that even if this were possible, there would not be su f Icient time to enable either the friends or the opponents of the measures ij conduct an adequate campaign of edu cation prior to the election. Session at Olynjpia Is Nearing Close Thursday Is Xust Bcaedalsd Say Work of Employ round Hot Sat isfactory Mnca Work la Prospect. Statehouse, Olympia, Wash., March 5. The legislative session is nearing its close. This afternoon and tonight, and tomorrow morning, afternoon and night, the bodies will consider only measures that have already been passed by one house or the other. Wednesday tha program calls only for consideration of vetoes and confer ence reports.. Thursday is the scheduled last day. There are some extra long measures .which will probably go through, such as the water code and probate cod bills that will take hours and hours to enroll after they are finally passed and the legislature will have to remain in session until these enrolled bills can be signed by the president of the senate and speaker of the house. With all the overplus of employes, i is a commentable fact that there are not enough efficient ones to get ou these bills in a hurry. An example o their carelessness was the discovery by Governor Lister that but $1500 was appropriated for factory' inspection, when $15,000 was intended.
