WILSON'S ADVISERS
URGE HIM TO MAKE
PUNITIVE EXPEDITIONS
Plans for Sericjl of Trips to Cen
tral West Outlined as Offset
to Attacks by Hughes on
Administration
THREE SPEECHES IN VIEW
Asnunr pahk, n. j.. sept. 27. "runi-
tlvo expeditions Into the central West In
October were today being worked out In
detail by President Wilson, Development
of his plans for this series of trips all
Important from n political standpoint In
cludes decision as to the nature of the ad
dresses he wilt make and the number.
On both these points the President Is
recolvlng tremendous nmounts of advice
dally. As n result ho has summoned his
campaign general, Vance McCormlck. for a
conference nt Shadow Ijiwn late today.
In tho first place, tho Democratic leaders
want tho President to "get Into the game"
with Hughes and land on a number of
Issues tho Republican candidate Is now
striving to put over the plate. While the
leader.! agree with tho Prcsldont that ho
should not go out on a stumping tour, they
are more and more outspoken In urging tho
Injection of a few more personalities Into
the BO-called "discussion ot public ques
tions" to which the President has said ho
wished to limit himself.
These leaders wish to see tho Republican
party and Hughe himself, If possible,
plnccd on tho griddle by President Wilson
and made to answer what both would have
dono In the situations confronting the Ad
ministration during tho last three and a
half years.
As for the number of speeches he will
make, that's another troublesome question
for tho Prosldent. He plans to speak nt
night In Omaha, October B: In the after
noon at Indianapolis, October 12, and prob
ably In tho afternoon In Chicago, Octo
ber 19.
En route to these cities the President will
cover hundreds of miles, pass through
scores of towns and cities, and either speak
to or pass up thousands who will naturally
bo on hand to see him at the stations.
Many of his lieutenants want him to
make platform speeches. The President,
however, believes If he did this on a general
plan his trips might be classified as stump
ing tours.
JEALOUS WOMAN SLEW
AUTO MAN, SISTER SAYS
Continued from Tata One
The wounded woman refused to revel her
name to the police this morning.
SECOND VICTIM UNCONSCIOUS
"Please, please let me alone," she moaned
when Magistrate Persch went, to her bedside
at the Jefferson Hospital to take an ante
mortem statement. Sho lapsed Into uncon
sciousness. Mrs. Belzar. who evidently awaited the
return of Gravier and his companion at
the hotel, hod trallVd Gravier for a year,
according to Fancey and Mrs. Apman.
"She was Infatuated with my brother,"
Mrs. Apman told the police. "He was a
widower. When his wife died two years
ago, Mrs. Belzar, who Is separated from
her husband, became Infatuated with my
brother. He discarded her about a year
ago and she has been following him ever
since."
SHOOTING PLANNED WITH CARE
The movements of the slayer were traced
In the city Monday by Detective Callahan,
of tho nlurder squad, who showed that the
shooting had been planned with great care.
From a taxlcab driver he learned that Mrs.
Belzar, a handsome woman of about thirty
three years, had visited every hotel of
prominence In the city Monday afternoon
and evening, scanning the registers and
explaining to the clerks that she was look
ing for her husband. The hunt ended at
the Hotel Walton yesterday, evidently, as
Gravier and his companion 'arrived there
In a large gray touring car during tho
afternoon.
The description given by the taxlcab
driver and hotel clerks whom the woman
queried In her relentless pursuit tallied ex
actly with that of the dead woman.
PART OF MYSTERY LIFTED
Mrs. Belzar, whose Identity was a mys
tery until the arrival of Fancey and Mrs.
Apman, was at first thought to have been
Mrs. J. C, de Lur, as she had a card bear
ing that name and an address at 111 West
ISOth street, New York, In her hand bar
The, possession of this card was explained
by the police as being one of the womnn's
safeguards In posing as 'the wife of J. C.
Oravltr, the similarity In the first two
Initials being pointed out.
Tho slayer, before her marriage, was
Mtfis Margaret Mc And rows, nccordlng to
Mrs. Apman, who added that her husband
Harry Belzar, lives at Oravesend, I-oiik
inland.
Further elements of mystery were thrown
Into tha case on the arrival of Mrs, Apman,
who attmptod to avoid notoriety by giving
her name as "Mrs. Ogden" to Detective
Callahan and Coroner's Detective Frank
Paul, who accompanied her to the morgue.
When sho confided her true name to them
they were skeptical and required her to
furnish proof as to her actual name.
Jewelry valued at several thousand dol
lars was fotjnd In Gravler's handbag In
his room. No. 916, at the Walton. He was
tell-to-do, Fancoy Raid, and was active In
Juvenile work, being the first probation
officer appointed In tho metropolis when the
probation system went Into effect. He was
rorty-ono years old and had a homo at uulst
Cottage, Park avenue, Keansburgh, N. J.,
In addition to his New York home.
The shots that ended tho man-hunt ap
parently were fired shortly after midnight.
They were not heard by any one In the
hotel, the sound of the music on tho roof
drowning out tho reports.
The bodies of Gravier and Mrs. Belzar
wero found about 1 o'clock this morning
by Mnnnger Miller, of the hotel, who heard
groans coming from Room 915 as he was
descending the stairs from tho roof gnrden
to the ninth floor. He ran Into tho room,
and when he turned over tho form ot
Qravlor's companion to see If she, too, were
dead, her limp left hand fell Into tho open
palm of Gravler's right hand.
Miller summoned Dr. Horbert M. God
dard, tho house physician, who sent the
wounded woman .to tho Jefferson Hospital,
where It was said sho would die of her
wounds. She, too, was hnndsomcly dressed,
Oravler evidently died Instantly, ns he
was Rhot through tho heart. The woman
registered as Mrs. Oravler was shot
through the, breast, The slayer killed her
self with a' well-placed shot In the temple,
Oravler and his companion, who had
motored over from Now York In the morn
ing and registered at tho hotel, wero ecn
to return to tho hotel nnd go upstairs
shortly after midnight. They had been to
a theater and had taken lunch before retir
ing to their apartment.
A woman Invalid, a guest at the hotel,
told Detective Harbldgo that as she was
walking past room 915, about 10 o'clock
last night, she found a woman sitting In
front of tho door.
"I'm waiting for my husband," the wom
an told her smilingly "He has the keys
and I'm locked out."
The guest thought nothing of the mat
ter at the time. The woman was dressed
In black, with brown furs and a French
hat. This costumo corresponds with the
clothing of the slayer. The Invalid guest
was the only person who saw tho woman
before tho shooting. .
WAS FRIEND OF "NEWSIES"
Gravier and his companion registered at
tho Hotel Cecil, New York, on September
21 as "Mr. and Mrs. Gravier," according to
the New York police. A hotel bill found
among Gravler's effects showed that he had
been at the Breakers Hotel, Atlantic City,
September 22-24. The bill was paid.
On the dresser In the room whera the
shooting took place was a gold medal, the
obverse bearing the coat of arms of New
York and the reverse tho Inscription: "In
recognition of pleasure given tho newboys
by J. C. Gravier. From C. R. Robinson,
New York city, December, 1IJ99." Tlu;
medal evidently Is a memento ot Gravier
Juvenile; work.
NUGENT GETS REVENGE
BY BEATING WESCOTT
Continued from I'sze One
Jersey In 1910 by Nugent and his chief,
former United States Senator James Smith,
Jr., turned down Smith In his desire to
return to the United States Senate.
NUGENT THREXt RECALLED
This embittered the Smith faction, nnd
nt n drinking resort near tho Sea Girt
State encampment while Wilson was Gov
ernor, Nugent delivered his famous toast:
"Hero's to W'oodrow Wilson, Ingrate and
liar."
This toast cost Nugent the chairmanship
of the Democratic Stato committee, which
ho held.
Since that time, whlla apparently Nugent
has gone back to the Wilson camp, it la
questioned If he really has dono so. The
k part he has had In turning down Wilson's
I candidate, thereby embarrassing the Pres
ident In his campaign by showing that New
Jersey has not stood by him. may never be
known publicly, but political observers de
clare they can see Nugent's hand In Wes.
cott's defent. It was estimated today that
Wescott was beaten by from 4000 to 5000.

NEW DEMAND BV JAPAN
IMPERILS CHINESE LOAN
Tokio Wants Land Tax as Security,
With Collections Under Her Supervision
SHANGHAI. Sept. 27. As security for
her share of tho 50,000,000 loan sought ot
tho Powers by China Japan Is demanding
that the Chinese land tax ho offered, with
collections to be made under the super
vision of Japanese Inspectors.
Tho Fekln correspondent of the China
Press says that this Is most serious to China,
because It means the penetration of the in
terior by the Japanese financial represen
tatives, who would be followed by Japanese
troops. Tho manager of the Yokohama
Specie Bank, who represents the Japanese
financiers Interested In the loan proposition,
has demanded tho security of tha land tax
and, according to reports here, Premier
Tuan Cht-Jul prefers to sacr,,lco the loan
rather than accept what ho considers an
unreasonable demand. Premier Tuan Chi
Jul considers the surplus of tho salt revenue
sufnclent security.
