DEFENSE BUDGET
ASSUMING SHAPE
House Passes Fortifications
Bill and Committee Approves
Naval Appropriation.
MOST POWERFUL WARSHIPS
Washington, Jan. 29. The adminis
tration's $800,000,000 defense budget
began to take final shape in congress
today, when the house passed the
fortification bill carrying a total of
more than $51,000,000 for coast de
fenses, and the house naval commit
tee completed its 1918 naval appro
priation bill with a total of more than
$.151,000,000.
The army appropriation bill still
is in the house military committee,
which is expected to complete it next
week. Estimates for the army reach
a total of more than $360,000,000, ex
clusive of numerous deficiency meas
ures resulting for the border mobili
tation and the rising cost of war ma
terials. The only other military legislation
pending is the universal military
training bill before a senate sub-committee,
which will conclude its hear
ings this week. It is not expected that
congress will take any action on the
universal training bill at this session.
Provisions of Navy Bill.
The navy bill carries a total of
$351,433,245. as against $313,000,000
last year. It provides for the con
struction of three 42.000-ton battle
ships at a cost of $28,178,592 each;
one battle cruiser at a cost of $26,
694,496; three scout cruisers at $6,
746,145 each; fifteen destroyers at $1,
748.612 each; one destroyer tender at
$2,808,000; one submarine tender it
$2,199,400. and eighteen 800-ton type
submarines at $1,434,093 each. The
program ii that recommended by the
; department and represents one-half of
the remaining portion of the three
year program approved last year.
The committee raised the limit of
cost for hull and machinery to $19,
000,000 from $16,000,000. Depart
ment officials believe all four vessels
can be placed with private bidders
at that figure.
' Most Powerful Ever Built.
Twelve million dollars additional to
equip navy yards for capital ship con
struction is provided for use in case
any of the vessels in the program can
not be built in private planti at rea
sonable cost and within a reasonable
time.
The new battleships will be the
most powerful war vessels every built.
.They will have a apeed of twenty
three knots an hour and carry main
batteries of twelve-aixteen-incn (funs
each, instead of the eight lixteen-inch
guns on the four authorized last year.

GRAND JURY ROOM
GUARDED CLOSELY
AGAINST"LEAKS"
M'aatiaaod Fran Pag Oao.)
jury Mr. Haverstick was reminded by
Judge Sears of the big responsibility
thrust upon him and instructed to
exercise his good judgment in work
ing for the good of the community.
Two Not Located.
Twenty-two jurors whose names
had been drawn by Election Commis
sioner Moorhead ten days ago re
ported in the criminal court room at
II o'clock. H. J. McManus, 5012
Izard street, whose name had been
drawn, could not be located. Grover C.
Karber, who lived at 820 North
Twelfth street, also drawn, has moved
from the city.
, J. A. Shields, jr., 5219 Emmett street,
a department manager for the Mc
Keen Motor Car company, was the
only juror who asked to be excused.
Following a lengthy quizzing by
Judge Sears, Shields was excused for
cause. .
M. H. Lynn of Florence did not
have to serve because he. is under 25
years old. Grand jurors must be over
25 and not over 65 years old. H. A.
Martin, a resident of Florence, was
excused because he is over 65.
This cut the number of jurors down
to eighteen and Judge Sears ordered
Sheriff Clark to draw two names
from a hat. Carl C. Terrell, 2912
North Twenty-sixth street, and Fred
VV. Thomas, 607 South Thirty-eighth
street,cashicr of the Live Stock Na
tional bank, were the lucky or un
lucky ones, as the case may be. ,
' Higgins is Bailiff.
W. A. Higgins, formerly employed
in , the county treasurer's office, was
appointed by Judge Sears to serve as
bailiff for the grand jury. He will
guard the doors of the grand jury
sanctum while the body is in session
and is expected to see to it that no
"leaks" are perpetrated.
In swearing in the grand jury
Judge Sears cautioned the veniremen
to maintain the utmost secrecy in con
ducting their investigations and
pointed ou the strictness of the new
law in regard to the workings of the
body.
Judge Sears in reading his charges
to the jury declared that inasmuch' as
the district court had seen fit to call
a grand jury, it was up to them to
make exhaustive investigations of
anything in the way of violations of
the laws. He called the jurymen s
; particular attention to "rumors" of
f;ambling, infractions of the liquor
aws and prostitution. He read a
long list of the things which he said
the grand jury might do well to in
vestigate. Out of the 150 names drawn for
petit jury duty, the list was cut down
. to eighty veniremen, who will serve
during the January term of court
' which opened yesterday. The district
judges believe that this number will
be sufficient for the term.
Sheriff Clark opened court for the
first time and chanted the "hear ye.
hear ye" formula in regulation style,
having learned his little piece well.
A Great Secret
WOMEN RESUME RIOT
ON JUAREZ BRIDGE
Demonstration Against U. S.
Quarantine Order is Taking
Practical Shape.
CAR TRAFFIC SUSPENDED
El Taso, Tex., Jan. 29. Rioting in
Juarez as a result of American quar
antine regulations was resumed early
today. It was a continuation of the
demonstration yesterday, in which
hundreds of women participated.
Today more than 100 women took
part. Rioters approaching the middle
of an international bridge, hurled
missiles at United States soldiers on
guard. Two noncommissioned offi
cers were injured, one by a flying bot
tle and the other by a rock.
Mexican cavalry ultimately suc
ceeded in driving the demonstrators
away from the bridge. Andreas Gar
cia, inspector general of Mexican con
sulates, crossed to Juarez tc attempt
to pacify the mob. There was no
street car traffic.
El Paso, Tex., Jan. 29. Chief of
Police of Maximo Torres of Juarez
announced this afternoon he had or
dered all ringleaders of the quaran
tine riots at the international bridge
arrested, according to government
agents here. This order included both
men and women, it was said.
The chief of police was said to
have admitted Villa partisans were
largely responsible for the rioting.
Government agents here insisted
todav that thev had received reports
from sources they considerel reliable
that a Mexican who nad snouted
"Viva Villa I Death to Carranzal"
was shot and killed in Juarez yester
day afternoon.
1 his was dented by urranza of
ficials on both sides of the river to
day. One report was that the Mexi
can, who had been drinking Satur
day night, awoke to find a mob in
front of his home. I (linking villa
had taken the town he was said to
have shouted for Villa and was shot
down by Carranza soldiers.
The two Americans who were
struck by bottles thrown by Mexican
laborers at the international bridge
today were Sergeant J. M. Peck of
the Twenty-third infantry and Cus
toms Inspector Roy L. Scuyler. Ser-
feant Peck was cut on the neck and
nspector Scuyler hit on the head.
Neither was seriously injured. I he
workmen also threw their bottles of
cold coffee through the windows of
the immigration detention station and
bath house.
The missing employe of the elec
tric railway was located last night
hiding in a Chinese restaurant and
brought to the American side of the
line. The street car men detained in
Juarez said they had been held up.
robbed of money, watches and
other personal belongings by the mob
in Juarez yesterday and were stoned
by the mob.
Two Weeks' Pay as Bonus
To the Light Employes
Realizing "that the individual load
in the matter of living-costs has been
especially burdensome of late," the
Omaha Electric Light and Power
company has given to each , em
employe whose annual salary is less
than $1,800 a bonus of two weeks'
pay. The bonus represents many
thousand dollars to the company.
George H, Harries, president, made
the announcement of the directors'
gift Monday with the additional no
tice that "vastly increased prices of
material and uncommonly heavy oper
ating expenses (while our receipts per
kilowatt hour nave suffered serious
decrease) do not justify additional
expenditures."
No Casualties in Fight
Near Ruby, Says Funston
Washington, Jan, 29. In the first
official account of the fight between
Utah cavalrymen, American cowboys
and Mexican raiders at Ruby, Ariz.,
received here today, General Funston
said there were no American or Mexi
can casualties.

Five-Minute Talks of National Leaders
By ARTHUR CAPPER,
Governor of Kanasas.
More and more insistently the peo
ple are demanding that Uncle Sam
shall dissolve his criminal partner
ship with the booze business and quit
the trade of bartender. National con
stitutional prohibition is coming with
a rush. Nothing can stop it. You can
travel today clear across the United
States from the Atlantic to the Pacific
and never set foot off state-wide pro
hibition territory. The United Stales
will he a saloonless nation not Ia4cr
than the year 1920.
Tuesday, November 7. 1916. was a
Waterloo for the liquor traffic. A
tremendous blow for human welfare
was struck. That day prohibtion was
the issue in twelve states and one ter
ritory, and it failed to carry in only
two Missouri and California. It was
only the huge booze vote of St. Louis
that kept the saloon from being
driven out of Missouri.
This is the age of conservation. A
conservation policy that does not con
serve nor foster, nor protect the
health, thrift and happiness of the
American home the source of all our
strength and vigor as a nation is
blind folly and an unspeakable sham.
BANKER DENIES
JOINT DEAL WITH
TREASURY HEAD
(Continued Kroai Page On. J
Sherman L. Whipple, counsel for the
investigating committee, asked.
"I have not, sir," Fisk declared with
great emphasis.
As one of the bankers for the Hud
son & Manhattan terminals, of which
Mr. McAdoo was president, Fisk said,
he came in contact with McAdoo and
Harvey Fisk & Sons, of wihch Fisk
is a member, also closed up some of
the secretary's business when he en
tered the cabinet, but since that time
he has had virtually no business re
lations with him.
"In the last four years," Whipple
asked, "have you made any requests
of the secretary?"
"I have not, Fisk said. "To use
a homely expression, I have leaned
backwards in that respect."
Fisk said that he had personal cor
respondence with the secretary, but
had preserved none of it.
Fisk was brought into the inquiry
by Thomas W. Lawson declaring at
the hearings in Washington that
Archibald White told him Fisk had
boasted to him that he controlled
Secretary McAdoo and had offered
late one night to summon McAdoo
from his bed by telephone. Lawson
also said he had heard Fisk was con
nected with the peace note leak.
Fisk denied that he ever had a con
versation with White as described in
the Lawson testimony.
"I want to state positively," said
he, "that the meeting described nevei
took place. I never had a conversa
tion with White, during which the
name of Mr. McAdoo entered. I
want to state that most unequiv
ocally." The banker said that he knew
White "ony slightly" and had met
him casually probably not more than
half a dozen times.
Sold Stocks for McAdoo.
Asked if he had anything to' do
with closing up McAdoo's business
affairs after he entered the treasury,
Fisk replied affirmatively. Upon en
tering the cabinet, Fisk said, McAdoo
turned over all of his securities,
largely bank and trust company
stock, to Fisk's firm and on them ob
tained a loan of $112,000. On Janu
ary 15, 1914, Fisk said, all of the se
curities having been disposed of, the
debt was liquidated and a surplus
was turned over to McAdoo.
"Has your firm," asked Whipple,
"ever enjoyed advantages in regard
to the transactions with the Treas
ury department?''
"Never advantages which any other
Wall street firm might not have re
ceived," replied the banker.
"I want to ask you a question which

it was decided by the committee in
executive session to put to you. Is
it a fact that the federal reserve bank
occupied a building belonging to
your firm?"
"Yes, during the first year and a
half of its existence."
The witness said that he person
ally had nothing to do with the nego
tiations for the lease of the offices to
the bank, these having been con
ducted by the agent of the building.
"Did you talk to the secretary of
the treasury about the matter?" pur
sued the attorney.
"I think I did. I told him that
our offices were best adapted to the
bank of any ip the street at that time.
I said I would be very glad to have
the federal reserve bank take a lease
of our offices. It was just after the
outbreak of the war. Wall street was
closed up and very few offices were
available."
"Did you ask it as a favor?"
"I did not ask it as a favor. I
thought we had a right, however, to
use any proper influence we could
use."
Police Believe
They Have Found
New Dope" Trust
Another syndicate which has been
extensively peddling "dope" in
Omaha was uncovered, police aver,
when Detectives Unger and Brink
men raided places at U15 Davenport
and 319 North Thirteenth. About
$500 worth of opium, morphine and
just plain "snow was recovered, in
addition to a hop layout, three or
four needles and as many "hop"
guns.
Harry Rudolph, a negro, was taken
in the raid at 1315 Davenport. He
saw the officers coming and attempt
ed to warn the second place by tele
phone. The officers, however, broke
into his room before he had con
cluded telephoning and located the
other terminal of his call. "Hunkie"
Faulkner and Lon Carter, both ne
groes, were taken in the raid on the
Thirteenth street place.
Police assert this is another dope
trust which has been working in
Omaha, selling drugs to white and
black alike.

RECEIVER ASKED
FOR BROKER FIRM
Application Made at Chicago
to Take Charge of
Frantzius & Co.
HAS BEEN UNIQUE FIGURE
Chicago. Jan. 29 A petition for a
received for Von Frantzius & Co.,
for many years prominent stock and
grain brokers of Chicago, was filed
today by Attorney I. B. Perlman as
attorney for three creditors repre
senting claims of $6,400.
Terlman alleged that the liabilities
of the firm were $2,700,000 and the
assets about $1,000,000 under that.
Ben Harcuse, who on September 30
last resigned from the partnership,
leaving Von Frantzius, who died Jan
uary 7, the sole owner, said that Perl
man's allegation was "wild guess
work."
"The executors of the Von Frant
zius estate are busy winding up the
affairs of the house," said Mr. Har
cuse. "I am here as a volunteer to
help, and none of us know yet how
the books stand. We don't know the
assets or liabilities. Neither does
Perlman."
Von Frantzius was a picturesque
character, known for his love tor .art.
He come to this country forty years
ago from Germany without funds,
but by his industry and enterprise
built tip one of the biggest brokerage
houses in the city. He was divorced
from his first wife years ago. His
children, Peter and Marieanne, kept
an establishment separate from their
mother.
Two years ago Von Frantzius
gained widespread publicity by his
marriage to Saharet, a dancer, a
fiainting of whom he had fallen in
ove with, before he ever knew her
personally. This venture was short
lived and ended in divorce.

MAKING IT PLAIN
The Pure Food and Drug Laws aim
0 protect the public by preventing
mis-statementg on the labels of prepa
rations but some people continue to
iccept "extracts" of cod livers think
ing they will get the benefits of an
:mulsion of cod liver oil.
The difference is very great. An
'emulsion" contains real cod liver oil,
which has had the hearty endorse
ment of the medical profession for
many years, while an "extract" is a
product which contains no oil and is
highly alcoholic.
Scott's Emulsion guarantees the hlgh
;st grade of real Norwegian cod liver oil,
ikilfully blended with glycerine and
hypophosphites. Scott ' is free from the
false stimulation of alcohol and is en
dorsed by good physicians everywhere.

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair
When you wash your hair, be careful
what you use. Most soaps and pre
pared shampoos contain too much
alkali, which is very injurious, as it
dries the scalp and make the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. It makes an
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to han
dle. Besides, it loosens and takes out
everv particle of dust, dirt and dan
druff. Advertisement.
