OFFICERS FAIL
TO GET KILLER
24-Hour Man Hunt Does Not
Reveal Slayer of Man
And Woman
HOUSTON. May 7—T^-After a
-4-hour man hunt officers here to
day were without a tangible clue to
the Identity of the slaver of Olena
Wuenche. 20. of Spring, and Edward
Stone. 21. of Westfield.
Both bodies were found yesterday,
the cirl's a mile from Aldine and
the boys about four miles nearer
Houston.
The theory of jealousy of another
suitor was abandoned after police
had quizzed a youth said to have
called frequently at the home of the
girl. He had a perfect alibi, offi
cers said. He was in Conroe at the
time of the slaying.
That the crime was not the work
of a professional roadside bandit,
however, is conceded by police, since
the slayer used a shot gun to kill
the couple. For this reason offi
cers were inclined to the idea that
a prowler, probably Inflamed with
iiquor or narcotics, was responsible
for the killings.

The duty on brown rice was step

11-2 cents a pound, with a quarter
of a cent a pound added to the duty
on rough rice, fixing the rate at
11-4 cents a pound.
Hides and leather would be left on
the fre list and no duty would be
placed on boots and shoes which now
are also on the free list.
Turpentine and rosin would re
main on the free list.
Increase Duty on Hogs
The duty on hogs would be in
creased from one-half a cent a
pound to two cents a pound; while
that on fresh pork would be 2 1-2
cents a pound against the present
three quarters of a cent a pound.
Duties on cattle would remain as
in the Fordney-McCumber law. but
the rate on fresh beef and veal
would be advanced from three cents
a pound to six cents a pound. Sheep,
lambs and goats would bear an Im
post duty of three dollars a head
against the present two dollars with
the rate on fresh lambs proposed at
seven cents a pound, an increase of
three cents.
A reduction of one-half cent a
pound in the present rate of 7 1-2
cents is proposed, but in no case
would this rate be less than 35 per
cent advalorem.

As they emerged from the super

nounced the 53-year-old prisoner
had nothing to say to the press.
Sinclair then followed the captain
of the guard into the center of the
hall which is to be his home for ]
three months. His brother and his
attorney walked out without further
words either to the oil man or to
those who thronged the entrance.
Inside the 70-year-old structure,
the wealthy prisoner found a
warmth that belies the appearance
of its gloomy exterior. Flower gar
dens dot the lawns wherever room
can be found for them and curtains
from the windows.
Find Simple Life
The oil man w^Il find life simple.
Daily, upon arising, he will straight
en the covers on his iron cot and
then present himself for breakfast
A long day of work will follow and
then supper, after which he will
have a short period for recreation.
But the recreations afforded will
offer a wide contrast to the outside
diversions of operatmg a racing
stable and engaging in the mvriad
other pleasures of the wealthy.
Checkers, dominoes and a few books,
most of them mystery stories and
outdoor adventure tales In addition
to the Bible, are the principal equip
ment of the community recreation
room.
