TO BARE NEW TRIANGLE
SCANDAL IN KANSAS CITY
KANSAS CITY, March 13.—De
tails of a new type of triangle slay
ing soon will be laid bare in the Kan
sas City (Mo.) courts.
In the familiar triangle the wife
—or her lover—slays the husband
that illicit love may be legitimatized.
But in this strange case the al
leged lover has been slain—shot
down in a street battle in which
shots were fired by the husband and
by the wife!
The husband, police say, admits he
fired the shot that caused the “other
man’s” death. He says he did it be
cause the alleged lover persisted in
annoying his wife after she told him
it was “all over,” according to offi
cials.
The wife upholds her husband in
his act and will aid in his defense.
Principals in this strange love
i maze are Frank Merritt, a jnotor-
I cycle policeman; Alice, his wife, and
Reuben Shell, the slain man.
Here is the story, according to
I evidence in the hands of the prose-
I cutor:
Merritt worked at night. He wel
comed the offer of his friend, Shell,
heir of a wealthy family, to take his
wife and children out motor riding
in the evenings.
But soon, the prosecutor will seek
to show, the children were left at
j home and Mrs. Merritt and Shell
i went riding alone. The neighbors
: began to talk.
Merritt told Shell to stay away.
I Shell refused. He’d meet Mrs. Mer
j ritt on . every possible occasion—
when she shopped, when she visited,
whenever she left the house.
The husband- talked frankly to his
wife. She agreed to drop the troub
lous friendship. They went to a per
sonal friend, Chief of Police C, A.
Vassar, who counseled them to for
get the past and become the loving
mates they had been.
But Shell would not be thwarted.
He continually followed Mrs. Mer
ritt, police say Merritt told them.
Then the wife armed herse’C,
claims the prosecutor. One night
the Merritts met Shell on a boule-

LAME DUCK CONGRESS
ACCOMPLISHED LITTLE
Only Legislation Accomplished
Was Non-Partisan, Except
Infamous Tariff Measure
WASHINGTON, March 13.—The
Sixty-seventh congress which expired
March 4 will long be familiar to some
as the “Do Nothing Congress,” to
others as the “Lame Duck Congress,”
the “Profiteers’ Tariff Congress.’ the
“Newberry Congress,” the “Ship Sub
sidy Congress,” etc., but among its
many titles there will be none re
membered with pride.
With the life of the late Congress
went the flotsam and jetsam, the
strange things that the tide washed
I up on the congressional beach and the
(other strange things that the cat drag
| ged in 1920, and with them went
most of the Newberry senators who
wi r.e up for re-electitfn. The voters
of the country did a great and com
mendable job of housecleaning last
November when they reduced the Re-
I publican majority in congress from
169 to 17. The next congress which
meets next December will be a tidier
congress than the Sixty-seventh; it
will wash its face and brush its hair
oftener and keep its nose cleaner
than the one which has just passed
into legislative history.
The late Sixty-seventh congress did
some things for which it will receive '
popular approval, but in nearly if not .
quite every’ instance of this kind the
legislation was non-partisan, and re
ceived the votes of both parties. Thi;
was true of the ratification of the dis.
approval, but in nearly if not quite
armament conference treaties, the
[ approval of the foreign debt funding I
I agreement, the extensions of agricul- j
tural credits, good roads legislation
I and bills of this character.
But when the work of the congress j
I is analyzed in detail it will be found |
i that it did nothing of a permanent I
j character for the farmer, the legiti
' mate business man, the workingman, I
I th? ex-service man, the average tax-i
; payer, and that it disappointed the j
reasonable expectations of the peo
ple as a whole. It has done nothing)
to solve th e European problems look- I
ing to the restoration of foreign [
trade and markets for surplus prod- !
nets of agriculture and manufacture; '
it did not even attempt to solve the ,
vard.
A hail of bullets followed. Shell )
dropped, a leaden pellet in his heart.
Though all three fired shots, Mer- i
| ritt declares, police say, that he fired
the death shot and that Shell fired
on him first.
The wife was released, but Mer
ritt must stafnl trial. Self-defense
will be his plea.

or foreign policy of its own, nor one
outlined by the administration.
Its net results are all for the bene
fit of the special privilege ami prei;
tory class in whose favor it has dis
criminated as against tixe pcop.e as a
whole. It added largely to the taxes
of the people and to th profits of the
profiteers through th e tali'!; it reduc
ed the taxes of the bix taxpeyers with
no corresponding reduction to the
small taxpayers, it attempted to dis
pose oi the great merchant marine to
the shipping interests for a song ana
grant a huge bonus besides. Ship
subsidy was the measure upon wnic.i
President Harding elected to assert
his leadership, and his leadership was
repudiated.
There will be Republican claims oi'
economy and reduced appropriations
by the congress, but legislative econ
omy is reflected in reduced taxes, and
the fact is that the ordinary annual
recurring expenses of the govern
ment have not been redti- i 1 and (<•>
average taxpayer has he d no relief.
In all major respects th e congress has
failed.

Belles, Legion National adjutant, has
announced. The money will be rais
ed by contributions from the 11,000
Legion posts" in the country and
added to an amount already donated
lor the same purpose by private be
quests.
National headquarters of the Le
gion have been advised that there
now are 32,100 graves of American
soldiers who died abroad in the ser
vice of their country. Os these 31,-
190 are in France and Belgium, 140
in 40 in Ireland and one
sailor buried in Spain. Althohgh the
government of the UnUited States
has established cemeteries for its
soldier dead, the Legion feels that it
would be a fitting tribute to these
heroes for representatives from
among their former comrades at
arms to visit the graves on Memorial
Day each year. It is to this purpose
I hat the income from the endowment
fund will be dedicated.
