formerly of Brooklyn, N. Y., who was
on tnnl here today charged with being
a Herman spy, committed suicide today
ton lirison.
Kuepferle left a note nddressed "To
"iu n may concern," in which he
sank
" I am a soldier with a rank I do not
desire to state. I had a fair trial, but
unable to stand the strain any longer I
am taking the law into mv own hands.
I do not wish to ascend the scaffold."
A Masonic sign was interposed here
and the note continued:
"I hope the grand nrel.iteot of the
universe will lead me to the unknown
land of the east. I am not dying as a
spy, but as a soldier who stood his fate
as a man. I cannot be a liar or a per
jurer. What 1 have done was for my
country."
It is understood Kuepferle testified
in his own belmlf during a secret session
of his trial yesterday,

Parcel Post Attacked
By Wholesale Grocers
Sun Francisco, May 20. Strong at
tacks on the parcel post system marked
the session yesterday of'th,. National
vv iioiesale t.roeers association of the
inited States which is holding its
ninth iiiinual session here. More than
oimi delegates, representing more than
. it cent ot the groceries, inanufac
hirers nnd consumers in the United
Slates, were present when President (.
H. McGlnsson of Chicago, charged that
tlie present parcel post system is a seri
ous menace to the life of the small
grocer.
"We must curb the operations of the
parcel post system," Maid the president
in his address. "The continuation of
the operation of the present system
spells the ruination of country grocers.
The parcel post is nn enormous octopus
nursed by the federal government anil
it Is slowly but surely sucking the life
out of the little business num. It Is
killing the small town grocer by cen
tralizing the business in (ho bin cities."
II. .1. Moore, of Sioux Cily. fifth vice
president of organization, also attacked
the parcel post, "Graft, ' said Moore,
"had tainted the postal service for
years in second class mail mutter and
now it is creeping into the parcel post.
The parcel posi iininlaiioiis nre a men
ace which sound, the doom of the rural
ooitiuiuuily if ii is not soon curbed. "
Moore concluded his attack with an
appeal for eipializatiun of the postal
rates which would increase t ) parcel
post rate by approximately per cent.
The business t lilies of Ibe enliven-1
lion will teiuiiiiale I'ridav when the
election of officers will be held. It is
predicted that the next president will
be Til line i Whitinaisli of New
York, now tieasnier.

That Membership WU1 Be An
nounced Within Next Fort
night Is Certain
London, May 20. Announcement of
Great Britain's new eolation war cab
inet will be made within tbi next fort
night. This was a certainty today fol
lowing tho adjournment of parliament
hist night until June S. lteforo that
date tho reconstruction of tho cabinet
is expected to be complete and a vote
of confidence will then be sought from
the liouso of commons.
In government circles it was believed
one of the most important chnnges Is to
come in the admiralty when Arthur d.
Italfour is expected to succeed Winston
Churchill. Hir John Fisher, first sen
lord, will retain his present position,
it is declared. Andrew Ilonar Uw, op
position leader in the commons, is gen
erallv regarded as likely to receive the
portfolio of chancellor of the excheipier
while David Moyd lleorgo will share
the responsibility 0f the war office
with Lord Kitchener, Idoyddeorge at
tending to the furnishing of munitions.
Lewis llarcourt, it is believed, will
be supplanted ns colonial secretary,
probably by Austin Chamberlain. Tlie
Miiruuia of Crewe is believed tu lie
among those slated for retirement with
the possibility that Churchill may be
given this portfolio unless ho desires to
go to the front with the territorials in
which he holds a colonel's commission.
During today Frontier Asipiith held
extended conferences with present Hud
prosHvtive ministers as he took up the
task of reconstructing bis cabinet. He
conferred with Italfour, Konar Iw,
Lord Landsdowne, Hir Kdwaril (Irey
and Lloyd lleorge, while Homo Secre
tary Heginald Mok'eiinn was also with
the premier for sonic time.
