Traveler Tells of Demoralized I Affairs in China Thomas Rees in Omaha for Visit Saw M iss Aldrich r* Shortly Before Her Cap ture hy Bandits. Thomas Rees, published of the Illi- j npis State Reigster, Springfield, 111., who lias recently returned from a tour to the Philippine islands, Korea, r Japan and China, is in Omaha vis iting his niece, Miss Henrietta M. Rees. 720 South Twenty-second street. While in Kyoto, Japan, he met Miss J.ucy Aldrich, sister-in-law of John I). Rockefeller, jr., as she was pre paring to go to Pekin, and as Mr. Rees and his party had just come from there. Miss Aldrich was later • aptured by bandits with several oth er tourists. “Tn the two weeks that we stop lied at the same hotel in Kyoto.” said Mr. Rees, “wo grew to he quite friendly. Miss Aldrich is a very amia ble woman and a good companion. “The bandits may have known that she was connected with the Rocke feller millions, when they permitted her v> escape, but I do not think it likely.” Four Months in Orient. Mr. Rees sailed from San Fran « ..sco December 21) for the Philippines, where he spent three week in Manila, after which he went to China, vis iting Hongkong, Canton, Hankow. Tientsin and Pekin. “When we reached Canton, there was small fighting out in the-suburhs and in one place, where there had been a railroad strike a few weeks before we arrived, we found quiet. When we asked how the difficulty had been settled, we were informed that the provincial governor had nt a company of soldiers to the va* ^^rious towns in the strike district and had shot the ringleaders. “The depredations now rapidly in creasing, by well-armed bandit gangs, should not be cause for surprise. The government of China is completely demoralized. There is no ventral unity. Knch of the IK provincial gov ernors is a law unto himself, with little or no respect for the orders which come from the figure-head of a president at Pekin. Fx-Soldiers in Bands. "Of course, the majority of these bauds are made up of malcontents, ' but many of lliojr members are sol diers from tlie provinces, who have received no pay for some time. As a i tile, the hands are small and there fore go after small game, hut in the ease of the last raid the number of brigands was large and did not share the same respect for American and lingllsh tourists which had been mani fest 6n other occasions. The central government is practically powerless, because the armies are under com mand of the military governor of the province.” After passing through .Japan and Korea. Mr. Rees sailed for Seattle. <>n this journey lie became acquainted with Dr. Alfred Sze. Chinese minister to the United States. The boat docked May 4 and Mr. Rees came on Omaha. He w411 remain in the city for a short time Jiefore returning to Springfield. Plans Under Way j for Elks" Frolic B. P. O. E. to Raise Money for Defraying Expenses of Boys" Pienie.

"Oratory doesn't win lawsuits." de flared Chief Justice Andrew Morrissey of tlie supreme court of Nebraska at the annual meeting of the Delta Theta Phi. honorary legal fraternity, at tlie UTiivcrsity dub last night. "Be plain in your language and clear in your argument. "The question which will constant- | ly confront the young lawyer after he has entered active profession is what do you advise? How are you go ing to meet that question’’ I at ho r is Necessary. "Only with original thinking and courageous action can you hope to pain a. reputation. And don't for get that It takes as much labor and effort to retain a reputation as it does to gain one.’ In speaking of how to present cases in any court. Justice Morrissey said: "Get the essential points of your case well in hand and distribute them among your individual witnesses and documents. Don't jhit a witness on the stand until you have spoken with him, and above all. never permit a witness to say that he or site has never spoken with you aitout the i use in the face of questioning by the opposing lawyer. The fact that they may have discussed the case with you does not weaken their testimony, but on the contrary, may strengthen the testimony in the opinion of (he jury. "Take each point In the case separ ately: don't keep going bark over phases already passed " Dlneen on Program. Judge Frank Ditteen gave a brief talk on, the meaning of fraternalism. "Fraternalism does not apply to tvery little organization which springs up with the avowed intention of solv ing the world's problems.
