declares. "Tim woll-hrcd stage girls
and there an- plenty of them , make
wonderful wives.
"She Is often criticised for hoi

difference botweoii .the showgirl eland
the stage and the showgirl of so
dety ? Moth exhibit their beauty ami

audience as possible and devote theli
lives to obtaining the approval of the
beholders.
"The difference is that the stage
showgirl makes no pretenses , bill
ppi'foims her part for a salary. Tin
society showgirl goes through her
dally performance with the tacit tl
mm vowed object of getting .1 ilch
husband who will offer a salary for
life. Where Is her moral superiority
to her slstei on the stage ?
"Concerning the morals of stage1
favorites , 1 must , insist that there
has been gross exaggeration and nils-
judgment. It is all a result of the
old Puritanic Idea that the stage was
an evil place , and that everyone con
nected with It must necessarily be
contaminated. That's hideously un
fair. "
PACKER ARGUMENTS BEGIN.
It Will Take a Week to ivlake the
Closing Addresses.
Chicago , March -Closing t ! ) argu
ments of counsel to the jury in the
trial of the ten packers charged with
violation of the criminal sections of
the Sherman anti-trust law were be
gun today before United States Dis
trict .ludgo Carpenter. It is expect !
that the arguments will take a week
or ten days after which the case will
be given to the jury.
.lames M. Sheean , special govern
ment counsel , delivered the opening
argument for the government. Mr.
'Sheean began by enumerating three
questions which he said the jury
should disregard In the consideration
of the verdict. They were :
"Whether It was wise for congress
to pass the Sherman law ? "
"The true meaning of the Sher
man ? "
.WIFE SHOULD BE A PAL.
That's the Idea Advanced by Countess
Warwick of England.
New York. March 19. Countess
Warwick , England's socialist countess -
oss , told the reporters her idea of
marriage , and what she considered
the best time of her life.
"Marriage will revolutionized
through economic independence of
women plus the ballot , " she said. "I ,
fortunately , am one woman of eco
nomic independence. 1 have my own
iiuome and my husband has his. I
believe It is better for a woman to
live in fine comradeship with a man ,
u congenial , sympathetic man , than to
prostitute the most sacred of rela
tionships , marriage , by living , as most
married women live , simply as the
spouse of a man who pays for the
bread the woman eats.
"And please don't misunderstand
me. I'm not advocating immorality.
Par troin it. I think you understand.
1 am happily married , and am glad
I am. "
When the last gasp has been
gasped , Lady Warwick was asked
what she considered the best time of
life. She answered readily.
"The bust of life , " she said , "Is
always after the age of 30. Better
than that is after -10. The very best
of life Is 50 , which is my age. I
just now am having the best time I
ever had. I never had so good a time
In my life as I'm now having. At
18 I was pessimistic. Now 1 know.
And because of what I've learned
b > putting my experiences , my know
ledge , to the best uses I , like ; all
women of my age , know better how
to enjoy the da > s that are given to
mo. "
Countess Warwick formerly was
l.ady Brooke. "Babbling Brooke" they
called her In England , because she
xold of the baccarat scandal Involving
Edward VII , then Prince of Wales.
She is an active socialist leader now.

London , March 1't. Premier As-
quith announced in the house of com
mons today that the government
would introduce a minimum wage bill
for miners tomorrow. He will ask
the house to read It a second time on
Wednesday and complete the remain-
aug stages on Thursday.
SHOCK TO SCIENCE.
Disproves Theory That Ice Mountains
Miles High Mark South Pile.
Chicago , March 10. Scientists are
just beginning to recover from the
shock administered to them by Capt.
Roald Amundsen , the discoverer of
the south pole , why reported that the
polo lies on a plateau. They had ex
pected the discoverer would find
mountains of Ice , miles high , at the
region of the pole. In consequence
theories long hold and almost uni
versally accepted are shattered.
Thcso are some of the assertions
' of Prof. Ellas Colbert. The discover
ies of Amundsen , according to Prof.
Colbert , will put most geological text
hooks out of date.
For nearly a century it has been
the generally accepted fact tli t moiin
tains of Ice estimated to vary li
thlckticnB from two to twelve mllca
existed about the south pole. Tlili
was thought to be caused by HUCCCB
slvo periods of heat and cold at tin
! poles , coming every 11,000 years , ap
proxlmately , and causing the moun
tiilim of Ice to rise at one pole whlh
the \UHt quantities of Ice at the othei
[ molted , little by little.
! The formation of the le.e , It wai
believed , caused the center of gravltj
of the earth to change Its position
tliuii causing much of the water ol
'one ' hemisphere to pass across tin
'equator ' to the other hemisphere. Al
present the greater amount of watei
'lies ' In the southern hemisphere. II
was thought to have passed there
from the north In a former period
1 "A good many scientific men arc
amazed at the statement of conditions
[ at the south pole by Capt. Amundsen
[ They expected great quantities of Ice
or snow would be found , if human
explorers o\er went there , " said Prof
Colbert.
"There have been mountain ranges
alluded to by Amundsen and Shackle
'ton ' , but they are not referred to as
being possible accumulations of Ice
If they were they should not meet
the expectations of scientific thinkers ,
who .have counted .on finding an Ice
cap from two to twelve miles thick
at the pole and shaded off to something -
thing like a quarter of a mile in
thickness at a latitude of about 7C
degrees south
"At this time tlie accumulation of
water in the southern hemisphere
would seem not far from its maxi
mum , and correspondingly the de
pression of ocean surface In the north
ern hemisphere would seem not far
from Its minimum. Yet we must
arrive at the startling conclusion that
there Is not now in the neighborhood
of the south pole a sufficient quantity
of Ice to cause a shifting of the earth's
center of gravity and the consequent
transference of the earth's waters.
Consequent 1 > there Is no good scien
tific reason to apprehend any return
of the waters to the north in the near
geological future.
"The whole of this carefully built
system of reasoning is left without
sufficient amount of fact basis , so far
as can be ascertained. "
ARIZONA LEGISLATURE MEETS
Factions Among the Democrats to
Create Excitement.
Phoenix , Ariz. , March 19. The first

States senators cannot be accom
plished legally until after the legisla
ture has been In session ten days.

Harold Morrison , a university stu
dent home for a week's vacation , re
ports that the escape of the three
convicts and the assassination of
three penitentiary officials caused
great excitement in Lincoln when the
crime became known. It was at first
reported that 100 convicts had es
caped. The cars had stopped running
because of the heavy snow storm and
no communication could be had with
the penitentiary.
The topic of conversation in Nor
folk is the battle between the con
vict murderers and posses near Gret-
na , Neb. , Monday afternoon. The
fact that "Shorty" Gray operated in
.Madison county so frequently has
made the culmination of his career
one of the most interesting subject
for discussion and the fact that E. G.
Heilman , a Norfolk pioneer , was one
of the innocent men whose lives were
lost , has aroused talk concerning the
loose metluids which permitted the
convicts to get guns.
After an Investigation of the Oscar
Dederman farm house Monday after
noon , the interior of which was badly
besmeared with everything from vas
eline to cream and apple butter , it

well known to the Dederman family
was the originator of therampage. .
Strong liquor , it is believed , was the
cause of the damaging work. Every
mirror in the house was broken. Most
of the stove was thrown out of the
window ; the celling of every , , room
was besmeared with cream and apple
butter , and some clothing belonging
to Mr. Dederman was damaged by
grease. The family was in the city
when the damage was done. No ar
rests have been made.

An Illinois Suit.
Springfield , 111. , March lit. In a
demurrer filed in the Saugamon
county court today by attorneys for
Gov. Deneen , in answer to the amend
ed petition of Lou Small for a writ of
mandamus to give him first place on
the list of republican candidates for
governor , it is contended that the law
does not recognize any preferred
place on the ballot and the provision
that tlic names of candidates shall be
placed on the ballot in the order the
petitions are filed , is merely a rule of
administrative convenience. There
fore , says the answer , the petitioner
has no prhate right to protect by
mandamus. It is further' contended
that if the secretary of state has
omitted to perform an official duty
affecting the public , the suit should
have been brought by the attorney
general or the states attorney.
Attorneys for Mr. Small have asked
the court to order Secretary of State
Hoot to change the filing time stamp
ed on the Small petition so as to give
Mr. Small priority.

Girl on Streets of Norfolk.
Winter and summer meet in Nor
folk.
folk.Norfolk
Norfolk has competed and tied a
score with Omaha in the "rusnlng of
the season. " Recently an Omaha man
surprised his friends and the public
by appearing on the streets In a sum
mer suit , a linen duster and a clean
straw hat. A woman appeared on Nor
folk avenue yesterday with a summer
suit and a midsummer hat not the
small spring style , but the enlarged
midsummer hat with the regulation
trimmings of lilacs and the rest of
the garden. Her appearance did not
even create a stir , nor did it attract
much notice except that a few women
who took a casual backward glance
at the advanced season's representa
tive. The snow was piled high on
Norfolk avenue and some were enjoy
ing sleigh rides.
There are plenty of spring hats
visible in Norfolk. These early sea
son headpieces are of the regulation
smallness , but as the summer comes
on , It will ho noticed that the hats
will grow wider and larger.
"They either want to rush the sea
son or else they are very tired of the
old hat they have been wearing all
winter , " explains a local trimmer.

pleasantly , 1 wont out to the barn
and I thought I heard robins. Can't
see very well , but I kept looking
around , but coudl see nothing , so I
opened one of my hen houses and
there were several robins or chicks
I should say , so I found my robins ,
thirty-five of them. Then I wont to
town. Near the mill I heard geese
calling ami I could see nothing. I
thought It was not possible that the
wild geese were flying hut I looked
around and found them below the
dam. They weie gray , that Is the.v
looked that way , hut somebody Is see

Feeling Gaining Ground That Coaf
Strike is Not Imminent.
New York , March 19. There was
a subsidence of the anthracite strike
scare toda > , and in consequence there
was a falling off In the pressing de
mand for hard coal from frightened
consumers. The belief is gaining
ground that both sides will reach'an
agreement and that if there is a sus
pension of work on April 1 , it will
not last long. The operators say
they are ready to confer with the
men on anv reasonable proposition
and consider the situation from all
angles.
There are also reports from the
hard coal region that miners' officials
are ready to meet the operators half
way.
way.The
The report from the west that
President Taft may be asked to take
a hand in the situation to avert a
strike was read with interest but no
comment was made by the operators.
Meanwhile the operators are said to-
be doing nothing toward preparing
for a coal strike. Local hotels , hos
pitals and transit lines are well stock
ed with cwil in preparation for a long-
strike.

Will Joe M'Kay Go Free ?
Nellght , Neb. . March 19. Special to
The News : A declaration that the
Nebraska supreme court may penult
ii legal technicality to Interfere with
the administration of justice was
made a few clays ago by M. P. Harr
ington of O'Neill In support of a mo
tion for a rehearing In the case of
lee AlcKuy , convicted of murder in
this county and sentenced to life Im
prisonment.
The court reversed the decision of
the lower court Oct. 0 , 1911 , and re
manded the case for a new trial on
three grounds. Ono was that the In
formation against McKay , charged
lilm with committing the murder at
i date subsequent to the filing of
: he charge. Another was that it was
\n error to allow the bloody garments
> f the defendant to be flaunted before
; ho jury when they were not properly
fieforo the court. A third error , ac-
rordiug to the supreme court , was the
mployment of special private conn-
; ol to assist the county attorney.
According to the verdict of the Jury
McKay murdered A. G. Brown , a
tachelor shoemaker of Brunswick
Every Indication Is that the case will
be brought back ( o this city for te
trial , since ( he comity attorney tim
takenly charged that the eilme was
committed In December. 191(1 ( Instead
of 1901) ) . making It an Impossible dud
The district Judge allowed the amend
ment of the Information and this , sayn
( ho supreme court , was an error.
Attorney llairlnglon has argued
that the grounds on which the cane
was reversed were not nmlerhil and
thai they should not be allowed to
Interfere with the carrying out of
Justice.
