Man Slain by Mystery Assassin Carlton Hotel Cunt 1 Shot to Death on South Side Near Armour Park, ing Plant. A man identified variously a C M. llafmng of Minatare, Neb,, and C. M. Harvey o( Attantic, la., wa ihot and almost instantly lain at Twenty-eighth and fj street, near the Armonr packing plant, by an atiailant who escaped. Two thott were tired, one piercing the atomaeh and the other the lett tide. The victim of the theoting died on the lid'walk before aid reached him. He wai about 50. In hit pocketi waa found $17 and two letter, one from Mr. Alice Harvey Horlong, Rock Island. III., and the other from C. M. Hartong. Minatare, Neb Saw Man With PittoL Butinett houses in the neighbor hood, including the Western Union office and a 10ft drink bar, operated by Teter Zorroja, on Twenty-eighth atreet between Q and R ttrertt, were till catering to patron when the (hot were fired. Employe of the Western Union aw a man dash by the window of their office with a imoking pistol in hi hand. Zorroja, idling in hi doorway, heard the (hooting and taw the man escape ast down the alley between Q and R (treets. Inaid Pocket Turned Out The inside pocket of the dead man'a coat was found to be turned wrongtide out, leading police to be lieve that there might have been a wallet of money carried there aud removed by the slayer. Thi theory it strengthened by the assertions of Julius Alexander, a bellboy at the Carleton hotel, where the man regis tered 15 days ago, giving Atlantic, la., as his address, and using the name of Harvey. Alexander claims that the man hinted at large sums of money carried on his person. Police are of the opinion that the man had visited one of the home dis tilleries they claim are constantly springing tip on the South Side, flashed a role of bills and was fol lowed by the robber-slayer as he left. Second Shooting in Half-Year. The shooting is the second one to occur in the packing house district in the last half-year. A man who has not yet been identified by Omaha police, was shot to death from behind in front of a pool hajl directly opposite the Armour plant between Twenty-seventh and Twenty-eighth streets on Q. The shoot ing took place last December just after the packer strike began. It was thought in some quarters that the victim was a labor spy. No trace was ever found of the slayer.

After a long, hard pull, farmers and merchants are getting ready for a good year's business. Farmers are working the year round proaucis in stead n( deoendinsf entirely on grain crops or cattle more dairying and more poultry. Charles F.

Belton Kennedy, was set for a third trial October 9. The juries in the two preceding trials disagreed.

Reeve has heard the three trials and the second trial of Mrs. Obenchain is also scheduled for his department When he fin ished the Burch case he remarked that when it came up for trial he would transfer it to some other de partment of the court, as he was setting rather tired of it. THE BEE: OMAHA. C2 cemetery la 1906. eeremonie. The sermon will be preached by Rev. Joseph Chapoton, C SS. R. The American legion band and a military guard of honor will assist at the services. Owing to his absence from the city on an extended confirmation tcur, Archbishop J. J. Harty will not be present to assist at the ceremo nies as he desired to do. In case of inclement weather, the services will be held in St. Cecilia cathedral at the same hour. The services will be public. MUSIC After an absence of several season Amelita Galli-Curci made her reap pearance in Omaha at the Audi torium, and right royal wa tne welcome extended to her by the thousands from within and without the city who had assembled to savour the subtleties of her rare Italian song. Nor did the little orima donna dis appoint, as those same thousands will abundantly testify. Supported by ber husband. Homer Samuels, at the piano, and Manuel Berangeur. flutist, she held her hearers in willing subju gation from thrill of the first number until the last seductive echoes had died away. An old French chanson from the XVth century opened the festivities and proved a point of departure for the pouring forth of a stream of tone not less lovely than the colors of the madame's iridescent sown, nor paling in brilliance beside the diamonds that sparkled on her petite person. t olio wing came an Italian num ber of ancient vintage, and here upon an aria from Bizet's neglected opera, "The Pearl Fishers," showing the artist s voice in rich and caress ing beauty and her art of lyric song at its fullest estate. uaia-Uurcts tones are produced with perfect ease, and float lightly into space or are sustained at will by means of a splen didly controlled breathing mechan ism. "The Wren." by Bishop, gave a shining example of the singer's florid manner, on which her reputation largely rests, a style more perfectly illustrated later in the evening by the Sempre libera ana from Verdi's "Traviata," and the "Shadow Song from Dinorah. ' Here the so prano revelled in airy staccati jew elled trills and altitudinous passage work, fairly justifying her elevated position in the present vocal world. "Crepuscule," by Massenet, sung in the original French, and Valverde's "Clavelitos," in Spanish, gave added charm to the evening, and the "Song of India," by Rimsky-Korsakoff, with its descending chromatic inter vals, accurately defined, exercised a seductive sway. "Pierrot," a charm ing song by Mr. Samuels, was re peated on demand. Russel's "Vale" and "The Little Damozcl," by No vello completed the printed list, to which the artist added as encores two songs by Grieg, "Lindy Lou," by Strickland, "Old Folks at Home," "Love's Old Sweet Song" and others too numerous to mention. Mr. Berenguer, besides furnishing some ornithic embellishments for Bishop's "Wren," and rendering in valuable aid in chasing Dinorah's elusive shadow, played two solo num bers for flute: a "Romance" of pro nounced charm by Gaubert and a well-written number by Mr. Sam uels. The piano accompaniments by the last named were done with his. accustomed elegance and distinction. Lucius Pryor officiated as local manager. J. P. D. Common Sense Are You Doing Your Best? What is your idea about giving an honest day's labor . If you work for a small firm where it is known to a minute just whether you arc on the job or not and what doing, you have to do about right, if you are with any kind of a successful business, or lose your job. , To be successful, a man or a cor poration has to attend strictly to the details, improving them all the time. or some other concern discovers a loop hole to get under and put him or it out of the business. Even with the best sort of man agement, in these times, some of the most stable and progressive estab lishments run at a loss. But what of the man who works on city or government works and cheats the civic or federal corpora tion, just because it is the govern ment? If you are that sort, you are in herently dishonest. There are a whole lot of honest men who hold government positions. But there are a whole lot more who try for them because they think they can "get away with it," and do as little as possible for the money. Then there is the naturally idle person who does not have a job and lounges around where men are work ing, gassing and talking and hinder ing their work. Better get in line to do your best. i no matter where von are. MONDAY. MAY St. 1921. France Considers American Autos "Gas-Gobblers Can Averaging Lni Than 30 Milri Vrr Gallon of Furl Have Little Chance of Selling. Pf lae Aseaetslss! free Prls.

The mall American machine running from 20 to 25 mile per gallon, despite it low price, U finding it difficult to compete with these automobile. Cochet Already Chosen. A sport-loving senator met Ed ouard Herriott, deputy mayor of Lyons, in the lobby of the chamber of deputies, the other day, slapped him on the houlder, saying: "Con gratulations on the splendid victory at Brunei of your constituent, young Cochet." "Who it young Cochet," asked M. Herriott. "International hard court tennia champion. He hails from Lyons, your own town," replied the senator, registering surprise. "Never heard of him," said Herri ott. "My dear sir, he is much more widely known than you are," snapped the senator. Cochet has been definitely chosen as the first member of the French team which will compete for the Da vis cup, emblem of the world's su premacy at lawn tennis. The other three players will be chosen from among Gobert, Borotraya, Brugnon, Behont and Samazeuilh. To Play Denmark. France plays Denmark at Copen hagen next month in the second round which was reached through the default of Canada. The French men are confident of a victory over the Danes, Tegner and Olsen, the backbone of the Danish team, hav ing been beaten regularly by both Cochet and Borotraya. France looks to Australia to reach the semifinals and the French Tennis federation will make representations to the Australian team, urging that the semifinals be played in America. Cochet s service is his only ap parent weakness. It lacks speed and is easily returned, placing the young ster on the defensive at tne start ot nlav for each point. The young star is practicing with Gobert, who is known for his severe service. Gobert is taking great and unselfish interest in the youngster who re placed him as number one in the ranking in France. Long Skirts Returning. ' Fashion's pacesetters are winning in their fight to bring skirts some where near their old-time length. Stvles for late soring and early sum mer show that skirts will be half way below the knee. French wom en also are gradually discarding blacks, as is indicated by the brilli ant dors creeping into the crowds at the races and other events ot a popular nature, where both dresses and stockings run into every color cf the rainbow. Parasols of more than one color are being carried. -There is a special tendency to re turn to colors in the lines made up for middle-aged women. The dresses are cut long and on straight lines. There are no waist bands and no low necks, the latter spaces being taken up by real or artificial pearls, which are preferred in blister or baroque shapes. The sleeves show long slits similar to those worn in the days of Henry II. Hair Dyes Popular. Hair dves are increasingly popu lar with middle-aged women, the old black dyes being replaced by soft blondes and browns of girlhood. , Shoes remain black, generally pat ent leather, with Louis IV buckles, and also a suggestion of blue or tan color on the sides. Monkey fur trimming continues popular. Heckled Over Bonds. The French government is being heckled because it cannot tell within 15 or 20 billions of francs, just how much money it has borrowed on the national defense bonds. This short term paper, originated by Rebot, wartime finance minister, is credited with having saved France finan cially. The people took up the bonds so freely that the treasury was greatly relieved. They continued to take up the paper after the war and even since the rate of interest has been reduced one-half of 1 per cent. The bonds now yield 4zi, 4 and 3 per cent, respectively, for the yearly, half yearly and quarterly bonds. The amount in circulation has been estimated at from $65,000,000,000 to $80,000,000,000 and the treasury is unable to tell which figure is more nearly correct because the bonds are sold at every postoffice, tax collect ing bureau and notary's office in the country. The amounts remaining unreported to the treasury at any given time might, make up the dif ference between- the two figures quoted. Cloudburst Floods Small Colorado Mining Town Colorado Springs, May 28. A cloudburst flooded Papetbn, ' a mining community near here, and washed away several frame shacks, according to reports. The . sheriff and his deputies have responded to appeals for aid. The town is re ported to be under several feet of water. No loss of life is reported. The Dancing Master By RUBY M. AY RES.

Factions in the internal revenue controversy over the removal of A. D. Sumner of Iowa and Maj. C. C. Childs of Ohio from their posts, tooli a breathing spell and there were in dications that the incident was rap idly drawing to a close. Investigation of the accounts unit of the bureau by the special intel ligence section continued, but offi cials declined to comment on the progress made. Friends of Assistant Secretary Dover insisted that efforts were being made to prevent the re moval of his appointees by Commis sioner Blair, while at the treasury there were hints of possible further action along such lines.

Prosperity of Trieste Depends on Trial Tip Trieste, May 2"r An attempt at resuming commercial relations with Russia has been done by the Lloyd Triestino with S. S. Carniola which left with full cargo for Odessa. During the last few days work has been very intense around the steamer to load various goods as tinned meat, soap, clothing, cloth, boots, agricultural machinery, oil, etc., which if not sold in Odessa are carried back freely by the Lloyd Triestino. Great importance is attached by the local commercial and industrial circles to this trial journey, from which can depend the future prosr perity of Trieste, it is said.
