' Girlie Show" Profits
Disclosed in Suit
New York, June 20. That com
bination of theatrical producers, long
considered ironclad, composed of the
Messrs. Klavv, Erlangcr and Zieg
feld, controlling the Follies and the
Midnight Frolic, has been split bv a
fight over money matters in which
Marc Klawls on one side and A. T.
Erlangcr and Florenz Ziegfeld on the
other.
Incidentally, through papers filed
in the supreme court here today, the
public gets some idea of the income
of Ziesfeld from his "girlie shows"
sa:d to be more than $100,000 a year.
Klaw alleges that while he was in
Lurope two years ago his two part
ners in the Follies and Frolic enter
prises removed him from his dircc
tor.liij) r;i:l elected E. S. Goldining
in his place. He further charges that
in his absence the board of directors
increased the salary of Ziegfeld from
$20,000 to $52,500 a year and gave
F.rlanjer alsoa large raise.

She accompanied me to my home

brought a friend and they pro

While they were in the house I
was outside digging a cesspool.
On returning to the house quietly,
I saw that the two women had
been snooping around and had
found a kettle of jewelry which 1

Granite canons or anywhere else
near Cheyenne. I had been in Box

trying to reach Saturday, but I had

I'm not . saying where I was raised or

He was in custody of State Sheriff

He was riding in a lower berth
after having been taken to the train
in an ambulance. ,,
After leaving Rawlins Brown was
given his choice of being placed in
the county jail in Omaha or the
state penitentiary in Lincoln. He
selected the latter and will be con
fined to prison hospital until he re

the mountain battle of last Saturday.
He probably will be taken to

Chief Sleuth Brands Brown
Story of Officer as a Lie
"Just a lie I" cried Chief of Detec

day when Vie read in The Bee Fred
Brown's story of his flight in which
he alleged an armed motorcycle of
ficeiv kept mum when he found him
self "covered" by Brown's pistol as
he lay in the weeds near the Old Peo
ple's Home.
Van Deusen doesn't put enough
faith in Brown's statement to start
an investigation among his officers.
"Every motorcycle officer engaged
in that manhunt was armed with a
revolver and not a riot gun as Brown
stated," was the comment of Sergt.
George Emery, head of the motor

Old People's Home, while a posse beat the countryside for
him.
A policeman with a riot gun pointed down drew near.
Brown awaited his approach with a leveled pistol. Their
eyes met. Recognition was mutual.
Brown's unblinking eyes and ready weapon were
stronger than the policeman's oath. He had "fanned" in a
pinch, and Fred Brown put his finger to his lips a signal of
silence and the policeman, his riot weapon as useful as a
Fourth of July cane, passed on to report "nothing4 doing" to
his superiors.
His adventures in Lincoln; his thrilling escapes, his

Hitchcock Pleads
for German Goods
Nebrakan Opposes Tariff on
Chains Now Sold at Low
Price by,Foreign Factories.
Washington, June 20. The senate
got back to the tariff bill today, but
only for an hour. The finance com
mittee majority offered a new amend
ment, modifying its original rates on
chains to what was stated to be about
the levels in the Paync-Aldrich law,
and immediately there was a sharp
controversy, democratic speakers
urging further reductions.
Presenting "a resolution from Ne
braska hardware dealers opposing
rates in the bill on hardware, Senator
Hitchcock, democrat, Nebraska, de
clared the business men of the west,
without regard to politics, believed
passage of the bill would result in in
creased prices.
Supporting the committee rates,
Senator Willis, republican, Ohio, de
clared American manufacturers would
have to be protected from chain
manufacturers in Germany who, he
asserted, have their agents in this
country booking orders at prices be
low the cost of production in the
United States.
Senator Hitchcock told the scVite
that he would undertake to show to
morrow that the cry of German com
petition was a myth and that there
was an attempt to continue com
mercially the war that ended some
time ago for the benefit, of a few
manufacturer in the United States.
He argued that Germany was the
best customer the United States had
in Europe and that it would be un
wise to make tariff rates so high that
there could not be an exchange of
goods between the two nations.
Return of Property to
Germans by U. S. Planned
Washington, June 20. Legislation
is being prepared with President
Harding's, sanction which will return
to approximately 30,000 Germans and
Austrians property taken over during
the war by the alien property cus
todian in amounts of $10,000 or less,
it was announced today at the White
House.
The president, working with the
Departments of State and Justice,
and the alien property office, it was
further stated, will recommend that
alien owners of seized property val
ued at more than $10,000 shall be
entitled by the legislation to receive,
if necessary, part pavment ranging
up to the $10,000 limit.

Our enemies would say if the strike

Similar plans by others, who are

Cleveland to withdraw his'motion for
a redeclaration of the government
ownership policy. The question ws
injected into the convention's work

day went on record as favoring re
peal of the transportation act. in
which connection it denounced the
railroad labor board for its orders.

changing workinf conditions.
Consideration of the strike threat
in connection with th. resolution for i
repeal of the transportation act pro- j
voked the only long discussion of
the day's session, whichiwas crowd-1
ed with business.
Early in the day the convention i
was marked bv an oral c!a?h be
tween President John J. Lewis of
the United Mine Workers and Jo
seph Lynal, Peoria trades and labor
council, when the latter sought to
force consideration of a resolution
congratulating Alexander Howat
and August Dorchy, leaders of Kan
sas miner?, fo rtheir stand against
the Kansas industrial court. The
trouple ended with the convention
refusing to act on the resolution and
its reference to the miners' union
for consideration.
Lewis For President.
In addition to its big program for
work, the convention was marked by
the beginning of a movement to run
Mr. Lewis as a candidate fr presi
dent of the federation in opposition
to Samuel Gompers. Although Mr.
Lewis declared he was "in no sense"
a candidate, efforts were pushed in
his behalf during the day.
During the discussion of repeal .of
the transportation act, Joseph A.
Franklin, president of the black
smiths union, described the railroad
workers as the "only labor group that
is tied to its job." He declared that
President Harding had told Br' M.
Jewell, president of the railway em
ployes department of the federation,
that "national agreements had to go"
and he reviewed various decisions
of the labor board, which he said,
annulled these agreements between
workers and the railroads.
Concluding. Franklin said the
unions had given the transportation
act a fair trial and that with ijew
wage reductions to become effective
July 1, "thhe men arc going to say
for once more that we are not go
ing to accept the board's decision."
Mr. Franklin's speech brought
Mr. Hayes to his feet w-ith the mo
tion for the declaration favoring gov
ernment ownership, which prompted
Mr. Gompers, who was presiding, to
inform the convention that such a
declaration had been withheld from
the convention at the request of the
rail union chiefs.

Yukon's "Last Drink"
Rushed to Northland
Before U. S. Ban Falls
Dawson, Y. T., June 20. A train
load of assorted drinkables steamed
into Canadian territory on the White
Pass & Yukon railway last Thurs
day, a few hours before the embargo
on intoxicants passing through
United States territory became ef
fective. Fourteen freight cars packed
to the roof brought provision
against the probable dry spell
which must intervene until, if ever,
the United States government can
be prevailed . upon to permit the
Yukon to bring its liquor through
the Alaskan approach, the only prac
ticable route.
The embargo brought about by
the'decision of the United States su
preme court, that liquor could not
be carried through United States
territory from one country to am
other, became effective at midnight
June 5. The last carload of liquors
reached Skagway, Alaska, June 4.
From there train schedules on the
White Horse route had to be re
vised for a day, but the Yukon's
last drink got through. The selling
value of the train load is over $70,

Lincoln, June 20. (Special.) The

However, the brief states, there is
little doubt that when the commission
makes its valuation finding of the
company's property it will find that
under the law increased rates are jus
tified. "The prevailing purpose in indus
try is to assist this movement back
to normal conditions in a general
way as much as possible," the brief
reads, "and particularly in accepting
lower incomes. The company is will
ing to do its bit in accepting low
ered incomes during the readjustment
period."
The brief contains data concerning
the company's income and physical
holdings to be used in the effort of
the railway commission to fix its rate

Nebraskan Quits
Brazil Exposition
Body After Fisfht
Frank Harrison Claims Mem
bers of Commission Draw
Salaries and Refuse
Services.
Washington, June 20. (Special
Telegram.) Reorganization of the
Brazilian exposition commission was
forecast today as the result of the
squabbel between Frank A. Harri
son of Nebraska, culminating in
charges and counter charges ' and
causing such dissension that Presi
dent Harding has taken a hand in
ironing out the situation.
Following the acticvn of members
of the commission who have been
at loggerheads for some time in
bringing their grievances to the State
department and the White House, it
was officially announced on behalf
of President Harding today that he
would review the ' situation at con
ference probably tomorrow, at which
the members of the commission, to
gether , with representatives of the
State department would be present.
Souabble Not Serious.
While the president does not re
gard the squabble within the commis
swion as of serious character, he and
the State department are anxious to
end the conflict, as its continuation
would affect the efficiency of the
body a,nd create an embarrassment
tor this government in carrying out
its part in the forthcoming exposi
tion at Rio de Janeiro. Secretary
of State Hughes, apart from his of
ficial interest in the matter, has
a personal interest, inasmuch as he is
to head the American diplomatic
mission which is to go to Brazil,
and for defraying the expenses of
which congress has already made an
appropriation.
The row which compelled Presi
dent Harding to take up the role of
peacemaker is primarily between
Frank A. Harrison of Nebraska,
resident commissioner of the expo
sition in Wshingtbn, and other mem
bers of the body.
Collier Made Special Trip.
Commissioner Collier made a spe
cial trip, to the United States partly
in connection with the row in the
commission and partly to discuss the
work of the commission with the
president and the State department.
He has already conferred with the
president and presumably discussed
the friction. He sails for Brazil
June 24 and President Harding is
hopeful that harmony can be re
established before he sails, without
resorting to changes in the member-
ship of the commission.
The charges of Resident Commis
sioner Harrison were particularly
directed against Mrs. Livermore
and Mr. Kirby. These charges are
I to the effect that his associates have
not been attending to their official
duties, that they have been receiving
?625 a month since January 1, when
