See a Double
Motive in Jew
elry Robbery
Theory Advanced Attack on Mrs.
Thompson Is Part of a Plan
to Discredit Police
Chicago Mayor Thompson put it
up to his police chief Tuesday to find
the men who robbed his wife of $17,
000 worth of jewelry and sent her
to bed. prostrated by the shock.
John H. Alcock, acting commission
er of police, accepted the responsi
bility with few words. "The whole
department is working to apprehend
the robbers."
Between the lines that told of the
midnight holdup in front of the
Thompson's Sheridan road apartment
the public read two questions:
"Who?" and "why?" The "why?"
inspired by a theory that underworld
foes of the Alcock administration
took the sensational method of rob
bing the mayor's wife to jeopardize
the commissioner's post.
"I have my own Ideas about that,"
Alcock said. "The matter will be
fully investigated."
Another theory as to the motive:?
behind the robbery was that it was
mere chance that Mrs. Thompson was
the victim; that the robbers were
waiting to hold up anyone whtfcame
along or possibly that they had
"spotted" her because of her expen
sive jewels.
Tore Off the Jewelry.
The three men who tore her jewel
ry from Mrs. Thompson and slugged
:.nd robbed her policeman-chauffeur

said nothing to indicate that they
know Mrs. Thompson's identity.
They did. however, express surprise
at finding a star on the chauffeur
Peter O'Malley. One of the robbers,
saying he was a "cop hater" threat
ened to kill O'Malley 'on general
principles," but was interrupted by
his companions' return with the
jewels.
This was taken by Chief of De
tectives Norton as proof that the men
did not know who the victim was.
"Tf they had known it was Mrs.
Thompson," Norton argued, "they
would have known that her chauf
feur was a policeman. They were
just amateurs who happened to
bump into $17,000 in jewelry."
The theory persisted, however, that
the holdup was planned by an or
ganized gang to embarrass Acting
Cornmisioner Alcock, who has direct
ed a drive on racketeers and hood
lums. It was recalled last week the
underworld was reported as gathering
a million dollar fund to combat the
police and especially to bring about
Alcock's removal.
Alcock Made Responsible.
Alcock. who was swept into the
office of commissioner in the storm
that followed the slaying of Jack
Lingle, was made personally re
sponsible for solution of the Thomp
son robbery.
"It's up to Alcock," said the mayor
in a brief statement to the press.
"We'll see if he can make good."
"And if he doesn't" the mayor
was asked.
"We'll talk about that later," he
re plied.
Alcock. informed of the mayor's
statement, said he took full respon
sibility, but that he had not state
ment to make regarding the robbery.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Thompson, who
had been in poor health for two
years, was again confined to her bed
with her home guarded by a squad
of police. Altho no official bulletins
were issued.
The mayor said she was "ill from
the shock of her experience" and
added that he feared the benefit she
had derived from a summer at the
seashore had been lost.
The mayor's wife had been the
victim of thefts twice before. In
1917 her jewels and money were
taken in a sleeping car en route to
New York and in 1922 she was rob
bed on an ocean liner en route to
England. State Journal.
SUBMARINE USE ADVISED
New York Vilhjalmur Stefanson,
Arctic explorer, arrived in America
Tuesday with the statement that the
submarine is safer and more practi
cal than the airplane as a means of
reaching the north pole. Mr. Stef
annson, who has been lecturing for
three months at Cambridge univer
sity, expressed the belief that Sir
George Hubert Wilkins, his first aide
on the Arctic expedition of 1913
1916, will successfully negotiate his
under water venture to the polar
cap.
The explorer corrected a popular
belief that the Arctic seas are filled
with deep reaching icebergs and said
there was none within 400 miles of
the pole. "There are ice floes," he
said, "but these floes are of no great
depth and a submarine might pass
under them easily."
State Federa
tion Head Out
lines Program
Joint Meetings of Groups in Six Dis
tricts is Suggested by
Mrs. Nuquist
Advertise regularly persistently,
for that's the way to get results.
Alliance Nebraska man power
may be enlisted in helping attain the
objectives of the State Federation of
Women's Clubs if the program advo
cated here Tuesday night by Mrs. A.
F. Nuquist. Osceola, state federation
president, is generally adopted by
the clubs of Nebraska in their thirty-third
convention here.
Mrs. Nuauist outlined plans for
joint meetings of the clubs in six
districts with men's organizations
interested in public and civic welfare.
"We have made much progress
with our program, but it will take
the joint efforts of men and women
of Nebraska to reach a successful
conclusion," she said.
The federation president derlared
the olan had been surcessfully pur-
sude in her own comcunity and could
be undertaken with squal success
elsewhere.
Child Welfare Work.
The federation, thru resolution to
be submitted formally Wednesday,
will urge that the legislature of 1931
legalize removal of the child wel
fare department of public instruc
tion to the state welfare bureau,
where it now functions.
The transfer was made by Gov
ernor Weaver, it was explained, but
no legalizing act was ever passed.
The resolution further urges legis
lative action in creation of county
welfare units.
Outstanding among other things
the federation must promote during
the forthcoming year, the president
said, are plans for the observance of
the Oregon Trail memorial, and par
ticipation thru a general federation
committee in the bicentennial tri
bute to George Washington, together
with plans for promulgating the
cause of world peace.
In observance of the convention
theme. "The Child, the Future Citi
zen," the club women heard an ad
dress by Miss Lillian Johnson, rep
resenting the state department of
welfare.
Peace Moves Discussed.
It is quite as important that the
American people support their gov
ernment in pursuit of peace as it
was imperative for them to stand
undivided during the stress of war,
according to Mrs. Ben Hooper of
Oshkosh, Wis., chairman of the Gen
eral Federation of Women's Clubs
committee on international relations.
Discussing the Briand-Kellogg
peace pact, Mrs. Hooper said it was
adopted by the American nation In
renouncement of war as a national
policy.
"That treaty," she said, "does not
furnish the method of settlement of
controversies, but it does do away
with the possbility of war by saying
disagreements shall not be arbited
upon the field of battle."
Advocating the world court as a
"clearing house" for international
troubles, Mrs. Hooper described as
"absurd" the contention of politicians
and statesmen that "they want a
world court but not the present one
embracing fifty-four nations."
Activities Keviewed.
Two activities of the state fed
eration were reviewed by Mrs. I. S.
Magowan, Gordon, secretary of the
scholarship loan fund, and Miss Helen
Tuttle, Lincoln, chairwoman of the
endowment fund.
The former committee, the con
vention was advised, had total re
sources on Oct. 1 of $9,429.66. and
had received scholarships from half
a dozen Nebraska schools. An un
named donor gave $500 toward
scholarship work.
Mayor Earl D. Mallery extended
the official welcome for the city of
Alliance to conventioners Tuesday
night, along with Mrs. B. M. Scotten,
who spoke as host of the Alliance
club. Mrs. W. W. Whitfield, Lin
coln, state vice president, responded.
A reception to federation women by
the Alliance club followed the eve
ning meeting. State Journal.
ROAD FINANCING TALKED
Washington Where to get the
money with which to build roads
was a question propounded and ans
wered in varying phrases and lang
uages Tuesday by delegates to the
sixth International Road congress. In
the end, they tentatively approved
proposals for national governments
to gran; loans and subsidies to their
states and for the use of general tax
revenues and bond issues to cover
the expenses of building and main
tainig highways.
Financing was the first general
question to receive the attention of
the road men from sixty countries.
The finance policies reported upon
must receive the agreement of all the
representatives at the lnal plenary
session Friday.

SHOWS GOOD RECORD
The Nehawka Farmers Oil Co.,
which is owned by the farm residents
of that section of Cass county, has
showed a very fine volume of busi
ness for the period from January 1st
to the present time, their business
showing an increase of some thirty
four per cent over a similar period
in 1929. Last year was one that
was very pleasing, but the great
stride made this year is more pleas
ing to the officers and stockholders
of the company. The directors at
their last meeting voted to have an
additional tank installed that they
may have more room for storage
which the growing business of their
company demands.

TO ORGANIZE FOR ELECTION
From Wednesdays Tally
This afternoon Mrs. Ida Thurber,
head of the democratic women's or
ganization in the first congressional
district, together with E. P. Snavely,
prominent democratic leader of Lin
coln, came to this city to look after
organization work for the coining
fall election, particularly in the in
terest of Senator Hitchcock and Gov
ernor Bryan.
Mr3. Thurber has a ladies head
quarters in the Hotel Oornhusker at
Lincoln while Mr. Snavely is en
gaged in the regular headquarters at
the Lincoln hotel and both have been
kept very busy in lining up the work
for the last weeks of the campai-ti
and in seeing that the democratic
voters as well as the independent re
publicans are awakened to the im
portance of the coming election of
congress, state officers and members
of the legislature in order to insure
legislation that may give relief from
the present condition.
4-H Winter Clubs.
It Is again time to think about
Keep Well and Hot Lunch clubs for
winter projects. Schools having five
or more pupils between 10-20 years
of age can easily meet the require
ments of a standard 4-H club. The
Rope Club project is also a good win
ter project and may be used as a
means of creating community inter
est. For those interested in Hot Lunch
or Keep Well projects there is sup
plementary material available to be
used in conducting a special health
program .
Get in touch with the county
agents and let them cooperate in
putting on a health program in your
school.
School Lunch.
The school lunch oftentimes be
comes a real problem, for it must
be a satisfactory supplement to the
other two meals of the day and at the
same time furnish its proportion of
the food needed for proper growth
and development. May be the follow
ing receipes will help add variety
to the school lunch:
Raisin-Banana Sandwich.
Mash a ripe banana until it is
smooth and creamy and spread it on
thin slices of buttered raisin bread.
Sprinkle lightly with salt.
Peanut Brittle Sandwich
If the peanut brittle is dry, put
it thru a food chopper, but if moist,
roll it out with a rolling pin until
powdered. Mix to a paste with
cream, butter, and spread between
thin slices of white or whole wheat
bread.
Date, Peanut Butter Sandwich
Crop dates very fine and mix with
enough peanut butter to make a
paste which is easy to spread. Spread
on buttered slices of whole wheat or
graham bread.
Besices sandwiches, raw vege
tables such as celery, tomatoes, car
rots or head lettuce and fruits either
raw or stewed, help to make an ap
petizing lunch. Simple sweets such
as dates, figs, jellies, preserves, rais
ins, cookies, cakes or candy always
nlease the children. No meal or
lunch la complete without the addi
tion of liquids. Milk, cocoa, or soups
are best for the school lunch. D. D.
