Friday, October 5, 1923. CLUE TO IDENTITY OF KELS' VICTIM By S. M. HOLLAND (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) STOCKTON, Calif., Oct. 5.—Sheriff William H. Riecks announced this afternoon that the first definite clue to the identity of the litterant worker slain and burned by Alex A. Kels, Lodi cattleman, in an effort to perpetrate a $100,000 insurance fraud had been obtained. A scrap of paper was found in the employment agency where Kels secured the stranger which read: "Ed. Meservey employed by Kels at $2.50 and board." When this was shown to Kels in his cell at the county jail by Sheriff Riecks, Kels exclaimed: "That's the man. I couldn't remember the name before." Nothing is known concerning Meservey. The man in charge of the employment agency has no recollection concerning him. Sheriff Riecks expressed hope that friends would come forward to assist in further identification. Meservey is believed to have been about 60 years old, about 5 feet 7 or 8 inches in height and to have weighed about 145 pounds. STOCKTON, Oct. 5.—Alex Kels pleaded guilty before Judge D. M. Young's court here this morning, of the murder of an unknown iterant laborer. Sentence will be pronounced next Monday at 10 o'clock, the court announced. The arraignment was a quiet and plain Dealer Want-ads bring results. NEW MEXICAN DIPLO Left to right, Mannel Y.

After hearing the formal recital of the charge against him, Kels unhesitatingly pleaded guilty.

Deputy District Attorney Sanborn told International News Service that it was not certain just what the sentence might be. There are only two alternative death or life imprisonment, and according to officials connected with the case, efforts are being made by Kels’ friends to make his sentence imprisonment instead of the extreme penalty. Officials refused to comment on the charge of Attorney George McNoble that politics will save Kels from the gallows. McNoble charged that Kels had been promised life imprisonment and that after a few years in San Quentin he will seek a pardon. STOCKTON, Oct. 5.—One of the weirdest criminal cases in the history of the west will be brot to a climax here today when Alex Kels, prominent Lodi cattleman, is arraigned before Judge D. M. Young’s court to answer an indictment brot against him yesterday by the county grand jury charging him with the murder by shooting and burning of an unidentified itinerant laboror at a lonely spot near Lodi the night of September 12. “Now that I’m caught I want it to be all over with as quickly as possible,” Kels declared to Assistant District Attorney Marion G. Woodward yesterday. “I have taken a life and I expect to pay one back. I am ready to plead guilty. Let them hang me as soon as they wish. I don’t care.” When seen by an International News Service correspondent Kels refused to talk. He glared at his would-be interviewer with a look of tired indifference and paid no attention to questions. “The man is all tired out and will not talk to anybody,” Morgan A. Sanborn, deputy district attorney, said. “It is my purpose to show that the murderer Kels is guilty of murder, premeditated and committed in cold blood. It will be up to the court to do the rest.” Restlessly tossing on a sick bed in Lodi lies the wife of Kels, a prospective mother, entirely innocent of any connection with the murder of the unfortunate stranger and entirely oblivious of the fact that her husband is alive and in prison charged with one of the most helneous crimes in the annuals of California. Should Kels plead guilty at his hearing today it is likely that sentence will be deferred for several days, possibly until late next week, it was said.

PASTOR DEFENDS SUNDAY GOLF GAME COLUMBUS, Oct. 5.—"I rebel at the tacit approval of Sunday golf, which is played Sunday morning and takes boys from Sunday school, while the churches object to Sunday afternoon movies," said Rev. Sidney E. Sweet, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal church here, sermonizing on "What a Christian Thinks." "Perhaps the golf players are more numerous in the churches," he continued. "Why should not people who have not money enough to join exclusive golf clubs, or to own automobiles, watch moving pictures? Sunday afternoons? My conception of Sunday is that all should worship God. Make the movies good for every day and no one can reasonably object to them on Sunday," said Rev. Dr. Sweet.

Three minutes later the fire ladies prepared for action their new equipment, as yet unused. But this time for trying out the brand new hose was not at hand. All that the firemen found were a little black stew pan and a few coals in the bottom.

Y., Oct. 5.—That Canadians have not yet learned to eat "hot dogs" was one of the things that Edward Grems learned during the automobile tour that he and his family recently took into the country across the northern boundary of New York state. Mr. and Mrs. Grems covered more than 1400 miles. "We missed the wienie stands along the highways," said Grems in telling of the incidents of the trip, "and there were also no fried cakes to be found in the Canadian bakeries or homes." America is face to face with the dawn of the six-hour day. The eight-hour day has really been here for five years. So declares Geo. F. Johnson, multi-millionaire shoe king and the dominant figure in the Endicott-Johnson Corp., which conecra's experiments with "industrial democracy" have been closely studied by economists and capitalists of many lands. “There will be a six-hour day universally adopted within 50 years,” asserted Johnson. “The steel trust was wrong in seeking to maintain a 12-hour day. The 'eight-hour day has arrived. It 'arrived' more than five years ago. It is the logical number of hours out of 24." "The number of hours one works does not necessarily determine the amount of work one does. Diligent application of one's energies, skill and ability is what determines the amount of work.
