THEODORE WALLERT PLEADS
GUILTY TO MURDERING HIS WIFE
AM) STEP-CHILDREN
HENDERSON CASE SOON ENDS
The Prisoner Will Be Allowed to
Sialic a Statement Tuesday,
When He Will Be
* Sentenced.
HENDERSON, Minn., Dec. 6—(Special.)
—The Wallert murder trial commenced
this afternoon in the district court before
Judge Cadwell.
The prisoner, Theodore. Wallert, act
ing on the advice of his counsel, pleaded
guilty of murder in the first degree. He
also asked permission to make a state
ment, which was granted, and he will be
heard next Tuesday, at which time he
ill be sentenced.
The court appointed E. H. Huebner, of
Winthrop, and T. A. Cosgrove, of Arling
ton, to defend the accused. W. H.
Leenan, of Henderson, is conducting the
prosecution.
Judge Caldwell is known to be opposed
on principle to capital punishment. In
view of this and today's action of the
defendant, there is ground for the belief
that Wallert will get off with a life sen
tence. His crime was one of the most
atrocious ever committed in the North
west. •-.-. -.-,> "
The crime which Wallert committed
was that of murdering his wife and four
step-children at Arlington last summer.

It is reported that a St. Paul doctor was

There are several cases of smallpox
in the city, but as yet they are all con
fined to two families, and these are
strictly quarantined in the western part
of the city. There was some thought of
closing the schools, especially the one
in that part of the city, inasmuch as
one of the boys of the stricken family
has been attending school all the time
until he was taken with the disease. The
school board and the city board of health.
In a joint meeting, adopted the resolution
flfeat after Dec. 11 no pupil should be al
lowed to attend school who shall not
have been vaccinated within the last two
years. There are not a few people who
contend that the boards have no right to
pass my such resolutions of the kind.
The doctors have set the price of 50
cents per pupil, and the city superinten
dent has already made arrangements
.to. have the pupils of some of the
schools vaccinated at the different school*
buildings.

AMERICAN AMENDMENTS 10 JOINT
NOTE OPTED.
LONDON, Dec. 7.-Dr. Morrison wiring
the Times from Pekin, Dec. 5, confirms
the reported acceptance of Mr. Conger's '
amendments to the Joint note and says
"The names of the guilty are not sped- '
fied, the stipulation, only providing that
those princes and officials must be pun
ished who are recognized as guilty by
the Chinese government with the addi
tion of others to be hereafter designated
by the ministers. The practical result of
this compromise Is that the form of pun.
ishment is left for the determination of
the empress dowager, who is the chief
culprit. The history of the campaign is
instructive. The proposal came originally
from- Japan. It was communicated to
Germany and then to Washington.
Although the amendments were present
ed by Mr. • Conger, • all the credit Tor se
curing softened terms Is given by tho
Chinese, not to Great Britain or America, .
but to Russia, who continues to handle
the Chinese with consummate dexterity."
"Influential Chinese says," save the
Shanghai correspondent of the Times,
"that the court will leave Sian Fu short
ly, although its destination is not known
here."
The Berlin correspondent of the Times,
commenting upon the attempts to repre
sent the attitude of America -.is divergent
frcm that of the other powers in China,
says he lea that rhe formal assent
of the United States to the demands cf
the powers was intimated by Ambassador
White to the foreign office today (Thurs
day).
