Life Sentence Holds Charms for Guzwesc*! v, __ “Cell Is Small, But Grave Is Smaller,"’ He Tells Inter viewer. “Ami Then, Too, l*m Young.’" Jo® Guzwesc. facing death at 27. leaned forward anxiously as taking of testimony in his trial for the mur der of City Detective Frank Aughe, started Friday morning in District Judge Fitzgerald’s court.

The best the young man hopes for Is life imprisonment. "Do you think they will send you to the electric chair?” someone asked the defendant. A shudder went through his body. "I don't deserve, it. I don t see bow they can give me death,” he said. “Would you rather spend the rest of your life, maybe 40 or 50 years, in prison?” CELL IS SMALL; GRAVE IS SMALLER. “Tes, life is sweet even in prison, compared to death. A cell is smajl. but not so smnH as a grave. And then there is always the hope of get ting out some time. I am young.' Guzwesc never looked at 1 ity Do* actives Killian, Davis and Murphy, comrades of Frank Aughe. Nor did he look at Mrs. Aughe, the widow. • nd her daughter. Helen, nor at Miss Ara Auglie and Mrs. Vanie Baarinan, Bisters, who sat near him.

Y., and in Canyon City, Colo., penitentiaries. BERTILLON OFFICER TELLS OF PRINTS. A.

Daugherty, has failed In Its task of defending the public domain and Daugherty "has no proper place in the cabinet,” Governor Plnchot of Pennsylvania last night told an open meettug of the Shields memorial rilble class of the I.ewlsburg Presbyterian church. The governor said that "the president himself found It necessary to take the oil scandal prosecutions away from the department to which they rightly belonged.” "I have no personal quarrel with Daugherty," Governor Plnchot? said. “On more than one occasion be has helped me In my effort to enforce the law In Pennsylvania. 1 think of him not as an Individual, but as the sym bol of a wrong conception of the ob ligations of public, office, and of the failure to live tip to his duties. A man does not belong In the cabinet merely because he has not been convicted of crime. Having lost the confidence id the president and the people, Daugh erty has no proper place in the cabi net.” Omaha Firm Wins Contract.

Careless smokers cause most of the fires that destroy property and some times lives, according to John Hop kins, fire commissioner.

"There are so many careless smok ers who throw matches away without making sure they are out. or who drop cigarets or cigars wherever they happen to be. •'Omaha's fire report looks better for 1923 than It lias for a long time,” he continued. “But still there Is a lot of room for Improvement. There were 324 less fires In 1923 than In 1922. "The most dangerous fires occur at night. Families are asleep and lives are endangered with the proper ty.” Hopkins announced that April 18 had been designated as flro preven tion day. l*very effort la to be made on that day, and during the follow ing week, to prevent fires, he said.

Kansas City, March 21.—Seeking to pierce the veil of mystery which hides the slaying of Dr. Zoe Wilkins, whose gaming at love and intrigue ended In gruesome death, police to day faced a number of unfolding leads. These involved a mysterious quar tet whom the woman feared, an equally mysterious sanitarium "deal,” and the knowledge that Dillard Davies, jalntor wielded an unex plained influence over Dr. Wilkins. Rut all the avenue* pursued re volved In some manner about the janitor who had heard his employer talk about jewels and valuable papers, and who Is alleged to have owned the rusty pocket knife found beside her mutilated body. Davies is known to have dominated the woman on certain occasion*. *nd once. It is said, attempted an assault \ upon her. The Janitor is under arrest and, according to I. B. Walston, chief of detectives. Is tightly enmeshed by a chain of circumstantial evidence. Brother Held. Besides the Janitor; Charles Wil kins, a brother of the slain woman and B. F. Tnrpley. a devotee of the pretty adventuress, are held. Tho janitor who had been the cause of a quarrel Ijetween Dr. W ilklns and her brother, Charles, Is th* last per son reported to have been with the woman before her death. He was at the Wilkins home late Saturday night which police have set a* the time of tho slaying. When on Saturday night Dr. Wil kins was distraught with fear that "four persons” would kill her unless rhe put through a sanitarium "deal” of which the police have been unable to learn anything, the Janitor ordered In-. Wilkins to dismiss a woman who had been summoned to the house as a companion. It was to this woman, whose name lias not been divulged, that Dr. Wil kins confided her fear that she would be killed by the mystery quartet. Free Concert. Another free concert hee been ar ranged for Saturday afternoon In the Auditorium of the Sehmoller * Mueller store at Sixteenth and Dodge streets.

Mr. Ferguson Tells Ma sons United States Must Give Europe Help. "America is tha hope of the world today," said Rev. David Jamea Fer guson, pastor of th* First Presby terian church of Alliance. Neb., to a hug* assemblage of Scottish Rite Masons at the cathedral Thursday. "Not even Anglo-Saxon civilization of Kngland will be able to save Kurope. if America staya out. There fore, whether we will or not, for the good of humanity, America must take her full part in the reorganiza tion of the world. The issue can not b* evaded. Whatever president Is elected this year, be must be pre pared to lead his people along the patli of righteousness to the end that justice shall prevail, and justice can not prevail until order Is re stoned in Kurope. Mr. Ferguson also said that our country will not be safe until every vestige of illiteracy is Wiped out, and until every child born in Amer ica is assured of education and train ing in tlie public schools of the land. A dinner for Scottish Rite Masons of the 32d degree closed the 67th reunion of the bodies of the Valley of Omaha at the cathedral last night. During the day the work of the 31st and 32d degrees were exemplified in full form hy teams under the direc tion of Janies Robert Cain, jr., 33d. master of Kadosli of Nebraska con sistory. The ceremonies wer* at tended by many visiting dignitaries and brethren of rite. Frank Cargill Patton, 33d, sovereign grand in spector general In Nebraska, closed the ritualistic work of the reunion by anointing a class of 74 at the end of the 32d degree. The dinner was served by the Scot tish Rite Women's club; music was provided by the Scottish Ittte or chestra. under leadership of Clarence Dean White, and by the Scottish Rite quartet, directed by Klisha D. Beilis. Rev. Charles KUiott Cobbey, 32d, K. C. C. H., president of Cotner university, delivered the invocation. More than 1,600 knights filled the big dining room on the main floor and the refectory In the basement, and listened to the addresses after ward. REAL AND UNREEL'' DON H. EDDT. Hollrwaod Correspondent of Tke ^ Omoho Boo. j No Reason Whatever. Ed Sedwick, the director, who talks correct English and alngs a girlish but somewhat rusty tenor, also writes songs- We may have mentioned that fact heretofore, or some place. We happened to straggle onto Ed's set over at Universal ths other day about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and Ed was standing up by the piano and he and Henry Cohen were writ :ng a new song. And we stood around and stood around, and they kept trying to get ths WQrds to fit the music, or whatever, and finally it got to be 2 o’clock and they were still there. And the cameramen and electric ians and everybody, who had been ready to shoot at 1 o’clock, were listening. And so was Hoot Gibson, •vho was supposed to be acting. And finally we guess Ed and Henry de cided they couldn't ever get ths music to fit the words, and they were kind of mad about it, and all at once Kd whirled around and stalked back to the camera and sat down and yelled: •'Eights! Say. what ars all ’ you folks waiting for, anyhow? Get to work'.” The Dead Past Talking about Join lxiwell, dltj you gazelle that earn* to town, oh, maybe limut a year ago or so, and right off the bat she busted out in one of jur high class newspapers with about eleven columns. What it said in the paper was that Joan was 17 now, and up to the time she hit Hollywood, she hadn't ever been on dry land for more than what you might call just a minute or two. Her dsd was a ssa captain, and t.e i alscil Joan just like a boy, taking her on all his trips hero and there about the Jolly old planet, deneba know, and all that. And finally she came to Hollywood and got herself a Job In the movies, anJ about the first big chance she lmd was In a opery named “Loving lies," or something, that is just now getting around. We went down to seo Joan the other afternoon, she having got herself a nice new bungalow to live in and the only s a tiling we could pipe was a marine painting on the wall. Joan said she gave away bushels of curios »ne had picked up hero and there, and she didn't ever vant to see the ocean any more. Tire Stolen From Auto.

J. W. Metcalfe can tell you. He can probably tell you a lot about it. That is his business. Only he does not go about telling everybody broadcast. His work Is to keep the Associated Retailers of Oma ha posted on what Is going on, to let them know the ratings of the vari ous people who buy and ask for credit until the first of the month or some other definite date. His card index Is perhaps the most extensive in the city, for it has the names of about every family in tow-n cn it. He could, if he were so mind ed, Issue a very interesting blue book. What is more important. Mr. Met calfe is a champion of the credit sys tem. His one condition is that every body co-operate with him in keeping credit ^ood by paying bills promptly when due. "Jim,” as sometimes he is called, was not always thus. Once he was a newspaper advertising man, excit edly running hither and yon, selling space to retailers and carrying copy Into the office for the printers to wor ry over. Then lie had a cute little newspaper of his very own, the No braska Retailer, devoted to the inter ests of the retail trade. Aside from these activities he has been modestly concerned in all move ments for the betterment of the city. It was this impulse that led him to organize the Associated Retailers of Omaha, who in turn elected him sec retary, and he has so served them ever since. He has been vice president of the National Association of Retail Secre taries and is now a director of the National Credit Men's association. So cieties in Kansas City, St. Joseph and elsewhere, similar to that in Omaha, have been formed with Mr. Metcalfe's assistance. Park Celebration Meet.
