Central City, Neb., Sept. 3. (Spe

land yesterday. :
Sixty boys, ranging from 12 to 16,
who were taken from Central City,
25 miles, in trucks to see it, were
busy "telling the world about it" this
morning.
They went as the guests of Cen
tral City business men and the Inde
pendent base ball team, and not a de
tail was overlooked to make the day
perfect, from noise-making whistles
to a plentiful supply of peanuts and
red lemonade. .
When the caravan started at 9 i.
m. a cargo of gum was packed aboard
one of the trucks, while the other
carried up under the scat a huge tub
of ice cream.
Report has it that Grand Island
suspected the kids were coming,
while the trucks were still a mile
away. When the expedition arrived,
Grand Island was certain of it.
After a swim in the Y pool, and an
ample picnic lunch, the crowd
started in to see the circus. They
saw it from the elephants to the

Veteran Omaha Elks Caught!"- S- win Take yP
In Cattle Stampede in Storm
Ike Miner and John Lebold
Run Gamut of Thrills
in a Trip in Black
Hills.
Caught in a cattle stampede dur
ing a terrific thunderstorm; har
assed by howlir.g coyotes; injured
in an automobile accident and lost
in the fastnesses of mountains were
episodes of adventure experienced
by "Ike-.W. Miner, 73 years old,
and John Lubold, veteran Omaha
Elks, who returned Friday from
a tour weeks fishing trip in the
Black Hills.
Notwithstanding "Ike's" advanced
age he stood the storms of the ven

turned home as tanned as a Choctaw

"flivver" with James H. Quigley,
mayor of that city, and John Broad
field, former Omahan. Over trails of
the Black Hills, and througli open
cattle country the party ploughed
their way, bent on a far-inland lake.
Along a stretch ot heavy sano,
the car met with " an accident and
Mr. Lubold was thrown out, one ot
the wheels passing over his legs.
, Party Lost
The first night out the quartet lost
their 'way. The mountains loomed
higher about them, and the trail
seemed to lead farther and
farther into forests. Through the
purple of a hazy dusk the cries of
coyotes reverberated from the canyon?-
The party was lost!
Out on the open cattle range the
quartet pitched camp. "Ike" Miner
and Lubold slept in a small tent,
"Ike" W. Miner.
while Mayor Quigley. and Broad
field took the car. In the night a
thunder storm arose and a heavy
rain fell. The thunder rolled and
seemed to tear open the heavens,
Mr. Miner said. The sound of the
storm was mingled with the cries of
! ;. Disnjal Scumbling. "
Suddenly1 about the' camp was
heard a dismal rumbling. Nearer it
came. " The snorting, hoof-beating
and rush of the sound alarmed the
lost party. With each clap of
thunder the rumbling became louder.
Looking from their tent Miner and
Lubold beheld masses of cattle
stampeding toward them. They
sought refuge in the car and prayed
for safety.
- Cattle Dispersed. '
With the passing of the storm the
cattle dispersed and it was several
hours more before the members of
the party could sleep.
The party arrived at Hackberry
lake next day and remained there
two weeks. Did they catch any
thing? Well, they certainly say so,
and both men have photographic
evidence that they reeled in every
kind of fish, from pike to gold fish.

Doubtful of Advantages.
Aside from the disposition to re
gard as reactionary, if not medieval,
a system of supervision extending to
every member of an alien family of
whatever status in the community
excluding only government officials,
it is held that the expense of a fol
low system to insure compliance
that without a follow-up system the War Inflicts Freak Names
law could not be enforcedand the
presence of a penalty clause in the
bill would result in the creation of
hundreds of thousands of potential
lawbreakers, since experience in the
case of deserting alien seamen has
proved that such regulations are not
complied with voluntarily.
. According to reports of the com
missioner general of immigration the
number ot alien seamen remaining
in the country unlawfully rose from
3,888 in 1919 to 13,543 in 1920. These
men, arriving as alien seamen, de
serted their ships in American ports
and never thereafter complied with
the law requiring them to appear be-
for immigration officials if they de
sired to remain in the country in
stead of reshipping within the re
quired period. Identification cards
were issued to nearly 300,000 alien
seamen by immigration officials
who boarded 22,738 vessels for pur
poses of inspection and registration,
but in the absence of a follow-up sys

Calls Members to Meet

London, Sept 3. Prime Minister
Lloyd George has summoned a spe
cial meeting of the British cabinet
at Inverness, Scotland, on Wednes
day next, to discuss the Sinn Fein
reply, which was delivered to him
last night by the Irish couriers. The
reply will not be published for some
days, but it has been sent to London
for circulation among the cabinet
ministers, who have been summoned
to Scotland.
King George has arranged to be at
Moyhall, in the neighborhood of In
verness, and he will be available for
consultation if required.
It is now stated in Dublin that
Irish .plenipotentiaries have not been
appointed and that if the British ac
cept the suggestion for a new con
ference, another meeting of Dail
Eireann will be necessary. It is cer
tain, however, that De Valera, Grif

Brugha and Cosgrove will be among
the delegates.
Belfast is quiet today, the troops
having taken control and occupying
all the street corners. Large pickets
have been distributed in all quarters
of the town.
Woman Begins Hunt
for Sunken Treasure
London, Sept. 1. Miss Knowles
Foster. F. R. G. S., in her 15-ton
.motor-yacht, the Enchantress, sailed
from Hammersmith pier on a hunt
for gold for. the coast of Norfolk.
Her imagination has been fired by
the information, learned recently.
that there are several interesting,
perhaps valuable, wrecks in the lo
cality, two of which are said to con
tain Australian gold.
Anybody can purchase a wreck
from the admiralty and salve it for
himself. The wreck must be cleared
or blown up in a fixed time. If the
purchaser is lucky enough to find
anything, half of it goes to the ad
miralty, . for which reason an of
ficial accompanies the hunter to
check whatever valuables may be re
covered. Miss Foster, who is studying for
a yacht-master's "ticket," will navi
gate the Enchantress. She carries for
crew a steward and two divers.
Lewis Gun Went Begging
For Buyer Before War
London, Sept. 3. How the Lewis
machine gun, which was one of the
most effective man-killers used by
the allies in the great war, was
"turned down" by nearly every great
power before the war was brought
out in court proceedings here.
The company that supplied the
machine guns to the British army
is suing to recover $15,000,000 from
the British government. It was tes
tified that Colonel Lewis, the Amer
ican who invented the gun, first
offered it to the American govern
ment but the offer was rejected. Sub
sequently Germany, Austria, Russia,
France and Italy, through their mil
itary- experts, decided that Colonel
Lewis was all wrong.
U. S. Experts Point Way to

Washington, Sept. 3. Cheer up,
you housewives, who have had un
expected difficulties with juicy pies
owing to their tendency to become
soggy. Specialists in the experi

in the course of pastry-baking ex
periments, that if the undercrust is
prebaked until slightly brown the
pies will be much better.
Another point brought out in con
nection with pastry baking, especial
ly in warm weather, is that speed
in handling is an important factor
if the housewife does not wish her
dough to become soft and conse
quently difficult to roll and lift .
