CConl Inilrtl From Pare One.) but quick to see the defects in others. He added that no international ac cord was possible when mutual con fidence was lacking; hence he re gretted that Japan could sign no ac cord arranged in Geneva. The import certificate system. Mr. Sugimura pointed out, had been in stituted under the direction of the league of nations and Japan would insist to the bitter end on it being lived up to. “This is the first time In the his tory of the league of nations,” Mr Hugimura declared in stentorian tones, “that any nation has cast in our teeth the reprehensible incident .Involving Japanese officials, who jwere.adequately punished. We are a patloh of the samurai, and to us Ihonor Is more than ail. You are fashioning here a system based on suspicion instead of on love and con fidence. Criticizes British. "From the very beginning we Jap anese have been pessimistic about the results, and now we prefer to de clare before the whole world why we are bnablo to reach an agreement and to ' leave to public opinion the task of forcing an equitable agree ment*l£ter.” • In "leaking his allusion to Great Britain,’ Mr. Sugimura concluded dramatically; "When all nations are able to see themselves in the looking glass we may attain real International co-op eration,” One of the numerous Japanese delegates did not serve to allay the panicky atmosphere when he strode to the press benches and distributed a statement. The statement set forth that Japan had cjome to Geneva earnestly desir ous of signing an accord to stop opium smuggling but it was con vinced the principle of gradual and effective suppression provided for in The Hague convention had not been followed satisfactorily. Furthermore the system of import certificates con stituted by the league of nations had not been recognized by several coun tries, thereby imperilling Japan’s fun damental policy, which it was de clared was that of having abolished all unjust discrimination between na tions. Englishman Denies Offense. Sir Malcolm Delevingne denied that tie had attacked the Japanese soverhment; he insisted hs had merely cited incidents which Justified 3reat Britain in preventing trans shipment of opium on steamers which used British ports. The Portuguese representative moved that, in view of the critical situation, tlie conference be ad journed to meet again at the end of the general opium conference, which upenu tomorrow. Princg Charoon of Siam gave warn ing th^t Siam would refuse to recog nize import certificates when con vinced that the opium would be used Illicitly. Affects l. S. President Van Wcttum. speaking tor Holland, made a statement af fecting the United States and other nonmembers of the league of nations, tvhen he declared the certificate sys tem should be recognized by all mem berg of the league. “You can deal as you Wish with those who are outside :he league,” he declared. The delegates of other European countries later endeavored to Impress upon the newspaper men the signifi cance of this statement as affeetkig :he United States. With all the deel rates clamoring for its mission to be heard, the chairman abruptly ordered in adjournment of the session until the afternoon. Mr. Sugimura said he would sattend but merely as an audi tor.

Did Not Know That She Was in Race Miss Pauline Schmidt Has C ase Taken to Highest Authori ties; Voters Choice Upheld; JVow Its “Judge Schmidt of Union Precinct.”- * Her friends call her “Pauline,” her pupils call her "Miss Schmidt,” peo ple who don't know her name call her “that pretty school marnn," but her correct title from now on Is "Your Honor." Meet Judge Pauline Schmidt, 21 year-old Portia of Union precinct, ad joinidg Florence. Miss (excuse It please, Judge) Schmidt Is the first woman ever elected Justice of the peace In Ne braska, so far as election officials know. I .eaves Ifouse as "Miss.” Miss (or Judge) Schmidt awoke at 6:30 a. m. on Wednesday, November 5, because If she awakened any later she would be late for her classes at District school No. 20, near Florence Wednesday, it will be recalled, was the day after election. As she left her home a man said "Good morning, Judge.” The words rang Btrangely in her ear. As she walked on another man greeted her with "Guilty, your honor.” She stopped him. “Guilty of what?” she asked? "Guilty of voting for you,” he re plied, beaming. "But I wasn't running,” she said. "But you were elected.” "To what?” "To be justice of the peace of Union precinct,” he Bald, with a sweeping bow. Then she learned the news. There had been three avowed candidates for the position of justice of the peace. They were A1 Anderson, Henry Butler, and John Blelck. Now A1 and John and Henry are all good men, but the voters of Union precinct thought it would be a good plan to get the feminine angle into the justice court. Someone suggested that Judge (or Miss) Schmidt's name be written in. Written All Over Ballots. If was. All over the ballots. And she was elected by a big margin. But Miss (or Judge) Schmidt didn't vote for herself (it was the first vote she had ever cast, anyway) because she didn’t know she was running. Of course, she wasn’t running. It was more like being carried. So she has been ‘‘Judge” since No vember 5. But when William Stolten berg took the poll books to the elec tion commissioners office, one of the deputies turned white. ‘‘See here, you know, I don’t think, maybe you can do this,” said the' deputy. ‘‘Why not?” asked Stoltenberg. "Well, you see, I think maybe it hasn’t been done before.” So the deputy consulted authori-. ties, and the authorities disagreed, and then he consulted William D. McHugh, jr., election commissioner. And Mr. McHugh settled the ques tion for good and all Saturday by announcing that it can be done, has been done, and that Miss (or Judge) Schmidt shall be sworn into office at once. Father of Baby Protests Parole of Truck Driver In Signed Statement T. C. Healey Declares 104 Days in Jail Is Insufficient Penalty. The following signed statement, ad dressed to the Editor of The Omaha Bee, was brought into The Bee office Saturday evening by T. C. Healy: A wave of maudlin ■cntlment, fostered apparently by one of our dally paper*, seems likely to^carry off his feet, if the paper Is to be believed, one of our most level-headed judges and to defeat on lta first Important conviction under It a law enacted In 1919 to protect the men, women and children of our state against being run down and killed on our public streets by the constantly growing horde of reckless drivers of automobiles. On July 22 last, when driving leisurely down town to meet me. my wife, with our 4*£ year-old baby girl, wae run Into at MV cn’eenth and Chicago atreeta by a truck driven by James Decker. My little boy wae thrown to the pavement and his life crushed out by the overturning car. More than a dozen disinterested eye witnesses testified In his trial. and though riven hia story also, the tury returned a verdict In less than 30 min utes. finding him guilty of causing the death of my boy through reckless driv ing. It was clearly In evidence that* he was unlawfully driving a truck with no 1924 license, and the ownership of whltfh no one seems willing to avow. The car driven by mv wife clearly had the right of way. Besides. Decker was overwhelm ingly shown to have driven hia truck at an Illegal rate of aneed and Instead of turning behind my car already past the middle of Chicago street, he turned hie car rfght Into the left aide and rear of the car driven bv my wife with auch force as to completely overturn It and te twist It till It faced the east. Sentiment is being stirred uo on ac count of the boy's age. which Is If. Is It not true that the great percentage of our RUtocjobile accidents come from the reckless driving of the young. Will the reckless youth of our city stop killing and maiming our wives and children and our aged. If they are released after 104 day* In Jail In order to celebrate a 20th birthday by going hunting.* Will 104 lays In county Jail deter him from reck lessly shooting someone while on his birthday hunt or recklessly killing some one nlse’s child when he returns and starts to drive someone else'* truck? Though the father of the dead boy victim. I seek no vengeance, for “vengc ■ 'nine, salth the Lord '* I do aeek the safety of mv other child and of the I children of other fathers mothers of Omaha. I do seek to eee that the law Is enforced, itsd our streets made safer for our women and children: for the aged and infirm. Our papers record fatal accidents al most every day. and some times many victims in a aiBffle day. a nominal fine, a 10 days' sentence, nor even an 104 days In jail (but 14 days more than the limit for a misdemeanor, though life blood has been shed), will h&rrly check the riot of careless Indifference for the lives of others shown by reckless drl\ers on our streets—years In the penitentiary might. At least, so thought our legislators. Cer tainly, sentimental excuse* by leading citizens who did not hear the testimony, the shedding of maudlin tears over the first conviction, the promising of a good lob to the reckless driver who killed a little one. and freeing him so he can take his annual hunt, will hardly leswen the appalling list of dally killings upon our streets. Let me appeal to the fathers and mothers of Omaha to express their opinions on this Important matter. Lot not our courts ho allowed to think that a few sensational Interview*, written up by a newspaper for sensational advertis ing of Itself, represents the real senti ment of our people. Speak up. and let the real vole© of the people be heard If you do so, perhaps our streets will be safer and our little boy shall not have died In vain.

By KENNETH CLARK, International News Staff Correspondent. El Paso, Tex., Nov. 15.—With an accord and unanimity wholly unex pected, the executive council of the American Federation of Labor decided today that organized labor would nmlptain a strictly nonpartisan po litical policy in national elections. In other words, the council decreed, and will recommend to the federation convention here next week, that labor, for the time being at least, must not tlo Itself definitely to any new po litical party government. A canvass of leaders almost con clusively indicated that the conven tion, though perhaps not without somo arguments and wranglings, would accept the council’s clew. Victory for Gompers. This action was regarded as a per sonal victory for the federation’s veteran president, Samuel Gompers, and as a warning to the supporters of Senator Robert M. La Follette and third party devotees In general, that organized labor cannot be counted on to go along as an organization when the question of forming a permanent new political party Is brought before the executive council of the confer ence for progressive political action, which meets In Washington next month. The Washington conference was called for the express purpose of establishing a new party from among the unltp which backed La Toilette's candidacy. But while the federation Itself will frown upon any move to align It with a new party movement. It does not necessarily ’follow that Individual leaders, or even local units, may not Join in a new political movement, council members explained. Even Gompers, himself. It was learned, would advise labor chiefs-to build up all over the country a senti ment for a new political alignment, based on strictly economic lines, In which workers would form the back bone. Act In Primaries. Better to do this, the council urged that all the federation's local non partisan committee be kept Intact. Thesd committees will be urged to take an active part In state and na tional primaries, even to the extent if necessary of putting up their own candidates If those of other parties are not suitable. In this way, the council felt, a sentiment may be de veloped which would lend itself to a new party In the future. But until this opinion can be established, fed eration chiefs believe labor s Inter ests best can be served, as In the past, but supporting presidential can didates of established parties. Thus by the council’s decision, the federations Is left free to throw its strength, for example In 1928, to the candidate regardless of party which It feels best would serve labor's In terests. The federation Is pleased with the general results of the election. With a strengthening of the so-called "la bor bloc” in congress, announced by Gompers, the federation leaders feel that chances are excellent to ‘ force through legislation for which they have fought. Both Faction* Pleased. All in sdl, both sides are pleased, those who opposed the third party and those who favor It; the one, that the federation 1s to be nonpartisan; the other, that the way still is left open to gain labor'a support should a third party be established and found to be a going proposition by 1928. Reports of bitter Internal fights ap parently have been dissipated on the eve of tha convention. There is no opposition to Gompers for re- elec tlon, the political question which loomed red hot appears to be eettled definitely and the ating ha* been taken out of the departmental rows which have edged to the surface.

Becker, according to his widow, left Denver Sunday morning In an auto mobile for Chama, N. M. The man, 65 years old, was unaccompanied and when Tuesday night came and no word had been received from htrti, Mrs. Becker became alarmed and left here for Antonito, which was on the route Becker had taken to his New Mexico destination. There she learned that her husband had passed through late Sunday, driving south 'into the snow-clad mountains. A searching party was organized and shortly after midnight Thursday rescuers came upon Becker’s automobile, stalled In the deep snow, with Becker Inside in an unconscious condition. When roused his first words were: ‘•Why didn't you come sooner? I’m so hungry; so cold.” Then he lapsed Into unconscious ness and died while being returned to Antonlto, where his wife waited anxiously. Footprints in the snow and a few hastily-scribbled notes, showed mute ly the attempts Becker had made to get back to Antonlto. However, weakened by exposure and hunger, the aged man was forced to give up and return to the automobile where he remained, huddled In a blanket, until rescuers found him. One note, written at 12 o'clock Tuesday read, "I have given up hope of being found." Other notes, written from time to time. Indicated his steadily weaken ing condition and his thoughts In the last hours before lapsing into uncon sciousness. Several of them men tioned his wife and relatives. Just before he died after being In formed by members of the rescue party that his wife awaited him in Antonlto, Becker mumbled a bless ing for her—his last words. Mrs. Becker is the daughter of T. D. Burns, wealthy New Mexico cat tleman and rancher. Becker was a veteran mining man and at one time manager of the Midland Coke & Fuel company a. Leadville, Colo. Funeral services will be held from a local mortuary tomorrow after noon at 2:30. Fireman Killed in Train Wreck Capitol Limited, Crack Balti more & Ohio Train, Derailed. By International New* Service.

Hours, 9 A. M. to 8 P. M. IMnmhert “Omaha Atlas Club" Indiana Fraud Trial Near End Morton S. Hawking, Head of Defunct Mortgage Concern, Still Missing. — Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 16.— United States District Attorney Homer Elliott plans to bring the gov ernment's case against 15 officials of the Hawkins Mortgage company, charged with conspiracy to use the malls to defraud, to a close by the middle of the week, he disclosed to day. About 40 witnesses for the prosecution remain to testify, he said, many of the original 150 subpoenaed having been excused. Elliott Indicated that the testimony of the remaining witnesses would center about the alleged Individual •illegal acts of the defendant official of the company. Evidence to date has had to do for the most part with alleged fraudulent operations of the company as a whole, and of Morton S. Hawkins, fugitive head of the con cern. Evidence will be Introduced In an attempt to show that each of the defendants played a knowing part in the alleged Illegal operations of the company, Elliott said. Attorneys for the defense, who are expected to begin presentation of their case about Thursday, have In dlcated they will make a plea that their clients, as underlings In the Hawkins concern, had no knowledge of post il law violations as charged. If there was a conspiracy to violate the federal laws by selling worthless stock in a campaign carried on through the malls, the defendants, as employes of Hawkins, were not responsible for It, the defense attor neys declared In opening statements. Although a report was current that Morton S. Hawkins, head of the con cern, whose operations are said to have run Into the millions, was ne gotiating for a surrender last week, he had not given himself up as yet, federal officials said today.

Siw.lal Dispatch to The Omaha Bee. Missouri Valley, la.. Nov. 15.—An other chapter in the moving picture show situation 'here closed today when Vern Brown, local manager for the two show houses owned by the Hostettler Amusement Co., of Lin coln, announced that he had resigned and would leave town immediately. Brown is the son of the man who owns the original showhouse here, the lease of which ran to the More land Amusement company and ex pired the first of June. At that time there were several lawsuits between the Moreland people and the Hostettlers for possession of the property, the Moreland people claiming they had a verbal lease with Vern Brown as agent for his father. Hostettlers showed up with a lease Juno 1, one stipulation of which, it is said, was that Vern Brown was to have a job with the Hostettlers for the life of the lease, 10 years. While the actions were pending the Moreland Amusement company bought and fitted up a building di rectly across from the other theater, and then by taking advantage of the law's delays managed to hold the original building until they were ready to move. In the meantime the Hostettlers also leased and fixed up another build ing, and since July three picture shows have bloomed where one once grew. There hae been considerable bickering between the picture ehow factions, and at one time Brown was on the losers end of a street battle between himself ana one of the sym pathizers for the other show. He had his alleged assailant arrested but the jury found him not guilty. Brown, with his wife and son, have gone to Baker, Ore., where his father, A. N.

They were resting. To ward night Farmer Brown's Boy came down with another bag of corn and scattered it. He smiled as be looked over toward the Geese. He knew that they had found the corn he had ieft there in the morning. Hardly was ha out of sight when Honker and hia flock swam in and began to pick up that corn hungrily. When they had finiehed their dinner they swam back to the middle of the Big Rive^ Just before the Black Shadows, coming down from the Pur ple Hills, started to creep across the Big River there was a great flapping of wings as the Geese rose from the water. "They've started," thought Peter. "I li watch them out of sight, for I won't have a chance to see any of them again until next spring." Straight down the river toward the Sunny South Honker let! the flock, mounting higher and higher in the air. Suddenly Peter gave a little ex clamation and sat up very straight.
