6 A MACHINISTS PULL OFF EIGHT MORE Visit Bertschy'i Garage, Which Does More Than Auto Eepair Work. COFFEY IS EXPECTED HERE The striking machinists of Omaha pulled off eight more men yesterday morning. These eight were machinists who had up to this time rontmued work in Bertschy'i garaRe, Nineteenth tnd Harney streets. Hie machinists have not yet concerned themselves much with the work goinpr on in shops that do a strictly automobile repair busi ness, but tliere are many automobile repair shops that do much work in the machinists' line that is not strictly automobile repair. The ma chinists hold that Hertschy'i place comes under this classification. There is also another phase to this situation. The Hertschy place was considered immediately when the ma chinists went out in various parts of the city several days igo. That was when the dissatisfied machinists were necroiiatinir with the Employers is sociation, which was holding fre ouent meetings with regard to the machinist situation. At that time the Bertschy people 1 maintained that the hmployers as sociation had no authority to act for them or negotiate for them, and that they would handle the trouble in their own case in their own way. The Employers' association, how ever, insisted that they had authority to act for llcrtschy, as well as for other employers of machinists. Thus the matter hung for several days, but whe:i the Hertschy people would not meet the terms the ma chinists are demanding, they went over and pulled the men off the job, In the strike of the building labor ers, matter! are still quiet, ana no new demonstration! occurred. State Labor Commissioner Frank Coffey is expected to arrive soon for a conference with labor leaders and employers in Omaha with rtgardd to the situation. Benson Social Circles Mr. A. 1.

Divine, now wealthy and head of a theater corporation, in. Chicago -almost went to prison a sa forger. Jlis case is one of the strangest on record and the details have just come to light through Mr. Divine, who visited his convict double in the state peni tentiary at Charlestown, Mass. I.ale In the summer of Vim, Kichard F, I'arker (one of the aliases assumed by the "double"), opened an office in Worcester, Mass. He closed a bonl deal involving $.10,001) with A. H. lurtier, a Boston broker. Turner lubsequently found that the check handed him by I'arker was a pure forgery. About a month later a Boston de tective walked Into the office of Ed ward M. Deane & Co., banker! of Chicago, where Divine was employed and arrested him. - He answered the description of I'arker to the minutest detail, Their physical features were the same. Both had brown hair, which grew back from the forehead, and each had a tiny dimple in the end of his nose. Mr. Turner was summoned from Boston. He positively identified Divine as I'arker. Several of the Turner firm also declared the in nocent man the person who robbed the company of $.10,000 by the bad check. Psychic Prophesy Doesn't Work with The Juvenile Court A psychic seer of insoluble secrets is Mrs. Iota Wells, who earns a living as a palmist and soothsayer at 81.1 North Sixteenth street, but her ocauU intuition told her wrong when she defiantly prophesied in juvenile court that her 1 J-) rar-old daughter would not t'oiitimii' her schooling.

Divine was hurried out and put through the third degree, lie wai beat, kicked and Insulted, but could give the detective! no satisfaction. Extradition papers were signed, al lowing the police to send Divine to Boston for trial. The innocent man'i attorney immediately asked for a write of habeas corpus and a hearing was ordered. Divine wai asked to write his name so that it could be compared with I'arker'i on the check. The signa tures tallied exactly. Finally Divine was able to prove an alibi, lie had been with A. K. Brown, president of the Kenwood Trust company in Chicago at the very hour the forged check was handed to I urner in Boston. Although Divine was immediately freed of the charge he was a marked man for several years and lost one position after another when his em ployers learned that he had once been tried for forgery. However, he per sisted and today is prosperous. J'arkcr, the real forger, was not ar rested until 1914, in Atlantic Citv. He was wanted for passing a forged check on a Philadelphia firm. Other forgeries were traced to him and finally Mr. Turner identified him as the man who gave hiiu the worthless check for which Divine almost went o prison.
