If the vigilantes keep on their

fore the reds will be blue.
Stop signs put at High and Liber

highly derogatory to business
around here, based on past records
hung up by those corners. Business
Is apt to be hit at about tne loi-
lowing ratio:
Repair work for garages on bust

Doctor and hospital Ices reduc

CONFESSES TO

Seattle, July 21 (U1) First degree
murder charges probably will be
filed against J. H. Hendrikx fol
lowing his confession that he killed
Mrs. Ruby Barton, deaf mute, with
a flatiron In a fit of anger.
The 49 year old Tacoma carpen
ter, who forced his victim to marry
him July 7 although she was legal
ly wed to another man, wept bit
terly after the confession.
"I got terribly, terribly mad and
I killed her," Captain of Detectives
Ernest Yoris said Hendrikx told
him after constant questioning.
Mrs. Barton was apparently put
ting on her coat with intention of
escaping Hendrikx' fury when he
killed her Monday night In the
room'he had rented for her..
Muffled sounds, thumping and
scuffling were heard by other oc
cupants of the rooming house,
which tallied with Hendrikx' story,
Yoris said.
Hendrikx walked to the bus de
pot after the killing and left for
Tacoma. Police arrested him there
in a room with another woman
early Friday.
Mrs. Barton complained several
days ago to police that Hendrikx
was holding her In his Tacoma
home and that she feared he would
kill her.
