Today Credit Mr. Bok. Schwab a Good Salesman. Thus Spoke the Money. 5,000 Years Ago and. Vote ARTHUR BRISBANE _y One good thing may come of Mr. Bok’s famous plan, which is a rehash of the world court and the league of nations, poorly written. That marvelous peace plan will probably result in the killing of the world court in the senate. A foolish thing can always be talked to death, and although it wasn't what he planned, Mr. Bok has rendered a valuable service. Neither President Coolidge nor any responsible senator will tack himself on behind a preposterous balloting on a preposterous proposition. Moving picture people, among other qualities, include speed and generosity. Charles M. Schwab, whose expansive smiie and big personality sold many a battleship, met the moving picture men at luncheon yesterday to ask about a little contribution for the Hard ing memorial. Schwab said he wanted $10,000 from the moving pictures, and $10,000 from New York’s news papers. W. R. Hearst had already sent him $1,500, which left only $8,500 to come from other news papers. When Schwab had finished, Mrs. Zukor, who organized the ‘‘come across” luncheon, announc ed that the $10,000 had been subscribed for while Mr. Schwab was talking. Mr. Schwab said Mr. Mellon, President Harding’s intimate friend, was deeply inter ested in the Harding memorial, and added truly that any American business man should be glad to oblige Mr. Mellon. A distinguished lady. writer says: “When deep, powerful love cools, marriage should end in divorce.” Newspapers discuss that be cause it sounds new. Yet it is what the monkey said, or would have said if they could talk, half a million years ago. Mr. Monkey would say: “When I am tired of one lady monkey, I go off and find another. That’s my idea of love.” But monkeys don’t know their own children a year after they are born, and are not responsible for them. They haven’t been entrust ed by Divine Providence with the job of building a respectable civilization on this earth. Marriage-is an institution not established for the amusement of monkeys or men, but for the pro tection of children, to establish respect for women, and to make men gradually more decent. We should b« even closer to the monkeys than we are now, but for the institution of mar riage, which has trained men to suppress the monkey within them. Digging on the site of old Carthage, archeologists discover that ladies of 2,750 years ago, in the great city at the edge of the Mediterranean, powdered and painted their faces as foolish wo men do now. The human race changes slow ly. Go back 2,750 years before the days of those Carthagenian ladies and you find an older civili zation on the great island of Crete, with women painting their laces white, wearing light cor sets, puffed sleeves, “pullbacks.” And you find professional bull fighters in old Crete, young men and young women slaves, captur ed, perhaps, on the Spanish penin sula, and forced to fight the bulls. Pictures 5,000 years old show a young girl seizing the maddened bull by the horns and vaulting over its back. They had boxing matches, also. Sometimes they fought with gloves of solid metal. A right or left swing could crush in the side of the skull. That would not please refined, expensive heavy weight champions of today. In Canada a hank bandit is sentenced to life imprisonment with 30 lashes to be given at the i-ate of 10 a month for three months. Life imprisonment is probably all right. But why the lashing? You wouldn’t lash a rat caught in a trap. Men do to each, from habit, what they wouldn't do to a rat or a wolf. The French are worried about the franc and may well be. Ac cording to new low prices yester day, more than 20 francs per dollar. The French government expell ed Duyzen, a Dutch banker, ac cused of “alarmist statements about the fall of the franc.” The French should read and carefully think over a speech just made by Monsieur Briand at Nantes, warning his countrymen to abandon militarism ami go back to French democratic methods. That is what the franc needs. Expelling Dutch bankers won't solve the problem. «»!opyi iv hl. I *"4 > Suit to Remove Receiver Filed Charge that tlie appointment of I S.

S. “Devil Dogs*’ Sets Zero Hour for Law Violators. By InternaHitnal Nrai SfrriM. Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 9.—A ‘leatherneck” turned “copper,"—and today Philadelphia's nationally fain oils tenderloin is closed. Spcak-easies are locked; brothels have moved out; bookmakers have sought other climes V'.ce has capitulated. When Brig. Gen. Smedley D. But ler of the United States marines, Philadelphia's new director of public safety, loaned by President Coolidge for one year, for an attack on the city’s vice and crime, "turned in” at daybreak today, tlie city was cleaner than It had been for years. The exo dus of crime was in full swing at daylight. Two of the city’s most no torious gamblers caught a boat for Havana during the night. Scores of "booze joints" displayed “for rent" signs for the first time in years. The old Klghth ward, made famous In song and story, was practically de serted. "But I have only started,” General Butler declared as he retired to the army rot he had ordered in his of fice at City Hall. "Philadelphia, like Rome, can’t be cleaned in a day,” the marine copper declared. I have given the bootlegger, the harlot and the drug peddler 48 hours to get out of town, ’ general said. "Midnight tonight will be the zero hour. After that axe squads will bat ter down doors and the patrol wagon will run its wheels off if necessary.” During the night. General Butler's squads made but 21 arrests—the ma jority women. General Butler had turned down a $100,009 bribe; defied a threat of death and had become "one of the boys," playing a game of pitch in a station house back room. “This guy Butler means business,” policemen informed those who hesi tated to “beat it" on instructions. “You bet I mean business,” Gen eral Butler declared, punctuating his remarks with a choice line of marine oaths at station houses he colled on. "Your districts are the two rotten spots in Philadelphia," Geneial But ler told Lleuts. John Holton and John Carlin, in charge of the Sixth and Klghth wards when he visited their headquarters shortly after midnight. “I’m giving you both until tomor row to have them as “clean as a bound’s tooth—failure means dis missal.” Contrary to expections, policemen welcomed the leadership of General Butler, Likes It. “You boys need not be afraid to make a pincli now—the city is back of you and no man is too big to avoid the penalty for crime," the marine general told'the men at each station house. Already new “tenderloins" have sprung up in nearby cities. Camden, N. J., Chester. Pa., and Wilmington, Del., were selected by many ordered to move as their next headquarters. Grade Goats Are More Profitable By Associated Tress. Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 9.—'The more fact that a given breed of any animal is pure bred is no guarantee that the breed is superior. W. D. Stain baugh, Richfield, Neb., declared In a paper read before the Nebraska Milk Goat Breeders association meet ing was in connection witli the or ganized agriculture meetings at the state college of agriculture. “Purebreds Against Grades," was the subject of Stambaugh's address, in which he said, “we are familiar with the purebred broncho, the pure bred Texas cattle, with their six feet of horns and five Tiounds of tough round steak. The broncho is not to be compared to the standard bred trot ter, nor the Texas steer to the state ly shorthorn or to the meek eyed Jersey. __ Seat in Freight Caboose Is Enjoyed by Writer L.Wtr'ey'cAis mmmmmmmmmrnmmJmaULmm Seats in high places, both of literary and transportation* 1 nature, are a matter of course in the life of Bess Streeter Aldrich, noted short story writer who spoke Tuesday before the Omaha Women's Press club at their annual banquet, Hotel Fon tenelle.

Wife JNames 1 and Mate I 3 in Divorcej Theater Musician ami W ifc in Court Second Time After Firftt Decree Is Set Aside. Th» Brader divorce suit, in which four co-respondents are named, went to trial before Distrirt Judge Day Wednesday afternoon. The defendant, Calvin Brader, is a prominent Omaha musician. The plain tiff, Ethel Slaude Brader. is "merely th mother” of his two children. Their matrimonial difficulties began shortly after their marriage in Lin coln in 1910. There have been con fpssions. reconciliations. property agreements; but both declare they have been of no avail. Mrs. Brader filed her suit for di vorce in 1922. She alleged cruelty, stipulated that a property settlement had been made, and on August 14, 1922, was awarded a decree and cus tody of their two children, Lolland Calvin, 7, and Dorothy Irene. 8. Reconciled, Separated. A short time later there was a reconciliation. But it was short lived, and on December 22 Mrs. Brader filed ner second suit for divorce. She de clared he had been treating her with "studied indifference" since their re conciliation, when their first decree of divorce had been set aside. Mrs. Brader charged In her second cuit that her husband loved another woman, and declared this woman was Peggy Penrod, 1821 Davenport street. He had agreed to forget Peggy and devote himself entirely to her, she declared. “But he failed to reform." she asserted. Then came Brader's cross-petition, the contents of which were not made known nutll yesterday. Mr. Brader as serts that when thpy agreed to have the first decree set aside they did it with the mutual understanding that "we would both go our own way and have our own friends.” Other Men in 'Case. Brader then told of an alleged con fession which his wife is said to have made to him in St. Joseph. Mo., that she had loved other men. The first man was David Nelson of Lincoln, whose manly charms at tracted her shortly after they were married, his petition states. The sec ond cerespondent named is James Faircy of Minneapolis, where the Braders resided from 1917 to 1919. Phi* third "Don .lum. was h St. I'.ml man. according to the petition, which fails to give his flame. Header's chief complaint, however, is based on the charge that Mrs. Hrader refused to quit working after their reconciliation and that she did not bring their children home from "hoarding school” even after the pa rents were reunited despite her agree ment to do so. Kuril- Tle-knor, attorney, who repre sented Mrs Hrader in her fir.-t case, Is now representing Hrader In the second suit.

"Mr. Unitt doesn't care about the money involved in the suit, but he does care about the charge this woman has made against him.” said A. V. Shotwell, counsel for Unitt, in his statement to the Jury.

Spin ial Dlftpatrh to The Omaha Hi-**. l.lncoln, Jan. 9.—W. Tl. MeNicholls, chief of the state bureau of securities, and George E. Johnson, former state engineer, came near to blows today In the senate investigating committee hearing when Johnson staled he had been told attempts had been made to extort money from applicants for per mits to sell securities, "I want to know \?hat part of 1923 this man Johnson refers to," exclaimed MeNicholls when he entered the room after Johnson's remark had been re ported to him. "It's in the record. That’s all i care to say unless the committee sees fit to take the matter up,’" said Johnson. McNichols shouted, "That isn't all 1 care to say. Johnson. Who made that statement?” "I'll tell the committee if they see fit to go Into it,” countered Johnson. “Tell it to me. I’m the one con cerned. Whether or not the commit tee cares one snap, I do. I am entitled to know. I demand to know.”. The wrangle continued. Johnson de clined to give names. MeNicholls de clared "Johnson will have plenty of i ha nee .to pro\ «* his Ktatemeni in court.” Chairman Iiotihlna rapped for order at one point and McNtchollH declared, “I'll lie a gentleman where I am dealing with a gentleman.''
