Belfast, June 3. Reinforcements
(or the Hritisli military force in
northern Ireland poured into Belfast
today and the intlux ti to continue
all next week, according to present
propect.
Two transport arrived this morn
ing from Birkenhead with the Scot
tish borderer. The Manchester are
ilue tomorrow from Guernsey, while
the royal fitsillicrs and the Liverpool
irgiment also arc coming.
Air Service Represented.
The most interesting arrivals were
a party of 12 officers and '.'7 men of
the royal air service.
A Itowit.er b.ittcry also arrived
th morning.
Wholesale commandeering of ve
hicles is going on, especially of
motor lurries. Many motor boats
are also being taken and officers have
been inspecting other craft. The
popular belief is that the military is
to be used to clear the Rcllcek re
gion evacuated by the Ulster forces
recently of its republican occupants.
Stirring events in this sector seemed
to be presaged.
Week-End Quiet in Belfast.
The most important naval unit et
sent :o northern waters is the flotilla
trader, Wallace, sister ship of the
I'.rooke. witii a speed of 3f knots.
'J lie Wallace reached - Belfast this
morning.
Belfast had a comparatively quiet
v.rtk-cnd. Two soldiers and three
civilians were wounded in the course
of thus afternoon's shooting. The rec
ord since Monday last is 18 killed
and 74 wounded in disturbances in
this city.
Rupture Averted.
London, June 3.-(By A. P.)
Rupture of the Irish negotiations
again has been averted, but there
is little disposition bmt to take a
very optimistic view Ot' the situa
tion. ;,'
The answers of Arthur Griffith,
president of the Dail Eireann to six
questions put to him by the British
cabinet, the nature of which was not
given out, were declared "satisfact
ory," following which Mr. Griffith
left last night for Dublin and Prime
Minister ' Lloyd George for his
v yiutsiwitide; ..holiday H-,TCffccicth,
Wales.
1 The gloomy feeling here was in
creased by Mr. Griffith's statement
before his departure that the posi
tion appeared the same as it was in
December.
The question of the influence of
Eamon De Valera, the Irish re
publican leader, crops out in many
speculations, and it is assumed there
will have to be some modification in
his pact with Michael Collins be
fore the rival views regarding the
new Irish constitution can in any
way be harmonized.
One extreme opinion is that Col
i;is is entirely in De Valera's hands
as a result of their agreements and
cannot escape, even it he wishes.
International Bankers
Recess Until Wednesday
Paris, June 3. (By A. P.)-The
recess until Wednesday of the com
mittee of international bankers in
vited by the reparations commission
to give advice concerning an inter
national loan for Germany, is for the
purpose of requesting the commission
for further information upon the
credit basis for the proposed loan.
The bankers, in discussing the pos
sibility of the loan, quickly reached
the question of how any loan could
be floated unless full assurances
were given to the investing public as
to the nature and extent of its secur
ity. One element would be the will
ingness of the debtor it was said, and
another would be the reasonable cer
tainty that he could pay.
Big Bankers Meeting Is
Planned for Alliance
Alliance, Neb., June 3. (Special.)
More than 100 bankers of western
Nebraska have accepted invitations
to attend the annual meeting of
Group 7, comprising practically all
ot the banks in the western part of
the state, to be held at Alliance June
20. An elaborate program of enter
tainment has been arranged. It is ex
pected that this will be the biggest
meeting since the group plan of an
nual meetings was adopted.

Alliance, Neb., June 3. (Special.)
Joe Baker, railroad machinist, was
arrested by Alliance officers, follow
ing receipt of a message from Chey
enne, Wyo., stating that he was want
ed in that city on a charge of grand

ping of his household goods, which

Return of Money
Given Red Cross
SoughtbyFarmer
Wealthy Cass County Man
Charges He Donated $1,000
Under Duress Omahan
Is Attorney.
Plattsmouth, Neb., June 3. (Spe
cial.) C. Lawrence Stull, wealthy
Cass county farmer, who contributed
$1,000 to the American Red Cross
and purchased $1,800 worth of war
securities in June, 1918, wants bis
Red Cross contribution back.
Action was brought by Stull in dis
trict court here against John F.
Wchrbcin, Joseph Johnson, Ralph
Haynic, William Rummcll. Dr. O.
Sandin and the Plattsmouth State
bank.
The petition, prepared by his attor
ney, I. J. Dunn of Omaha, alleges
that on June 9, 1918, the defendants,
with the exception of the bank, ac
companied by a mob of about 100
persons visited the Stull farm and de
manded that tie contribute $4,000 to
the government war work in the way
of bands and a donation to the Amer
ican Red Cross, there being quotos
assigned to all residents of the county
at that time.
. ' Took Funds in Bank.
!.-..Th4!aintifl state he told the men
he did not have $4,000, and was told
that he had $2,800 on deposit in one
of the Plattsmouth banks. The par
ties demanded that he make checks
out for the $2,800 and stood armed
with ropes and revolvers until the
checks had been written and verified
by the bank, where the funds were
on deposit. He made two checks,
one for $1,800 and the one for $1,000
drawn made payable to the Cass
chapter, American Red Cross. The
check was deposited in the Platts
mouth State bank, where the other
funds of the Red Cross were deposit-
red.
'Stull asks that judgment ot :(i,uw
and court costs be given him. This
is the first known action of this kind
brought to recover sums that were
contributed under protest to the war
work welfare organizations in Ne
braska. In addition to being forced
to contribute, Stull was in trouble
with the council of defense, which
took over the vast cribs of corn he
was holding and refused to sell, dis
posing of the same.
Much "Courted" Man.
Stull has the reputation of being
Cass county's most "courted" man,
as seldom a term of court goes by
that he does not have from one to a
half dozen suits on the docket.
Some time ago he was fined $100 in
county court here for operation of a
still, which he paid. Later the fed
eral government arrested him on the
charge and he served, a term in jail
in Omaha on this charge. The state
department of public welfare stepped
in and had temporary custody of his
children removed from him on the
grounds that the home maintained
at his farm was not a fit place for
them. The children have been at
tending a private school in Omaha,
but under the court decree are to
spend their vacations at home.
"Follow Your
Advertising Talk No. 2
We buy potatoes by the bushel er pound, cloth by the yard,
bricks by the thousand, etc., etc. AdvertUing should be bought
on a "per inch per thousand circulation" basis.
The Associated Retailers intelligently adopted the "rate per
inrh ner thousand" basis for buying newspaper advertising in
Omaha. They put the "yardstick," so to speak, to the three
Omaha nnnpra in a circulation survey, and the result showed
thn fnllnwinE- figures for the
the three Sunday pr.pers:
THE
SUNDAY BEE
$0.0179
(Lowest)
The Sunday
World-Herald
$0.0197
(Higher)
Translated into common parlance, this means that The Sunday
Bee is the best advertising "buy" of the three papers.
Nor did the survey of the three papers stop at this point.
Further investigation showed the remarkable fact that
75 of The Bee subscribers in Omaha own their own homes.
This information is of inestimable value of the advertiser who
desires to "follow his dollar through" and see that it brings
back full value in results. The dollar which pays the higher
"rate per inch per thousand circulation" and goes for circula
tion of doubtful value and doubtful purchasing power cannot
make a showing for itself in results.
The Bee hat today the largest circulation in its history

Two Bodies Recovered
By HENRY WALES.
lopjrrlihl. Iit.
London, June 3. Three persons
two men passengers and the pilot
were killed today when a French air
plane en route from London to Paris
fell into the Knglish channel otf
Folkestone. The paengcrs were
Ir. Gordon Ley, a well-known Lon
don surgeon, who wu en route to
rejoin his wife, and Paul Carroll, a
French manufacturer living in Paris.
The machine was a six-seater en
closed Spad with a 300 horsepower
Hispanola motor. It left Croydon at
II o'clock and passed over Koike
stone at 3,000 feet altitude, circling
over the town and proceeding across
the channel toward Houlognc.
Plane Nose Dives.
When two miles off shore the air
plane suddenly nose dived, striking
the water with a tremendous cra.h
and breaking up, the wreckage sink
ing almost immediately.
The channel steamer Maid of Or
leans, en route from Folkestone to
Boiilougnc and filled with passengers,
including many Americans, rushed
to the scene. Members of the crew
picked up the bodies of Dr. Ley and
Roger Morin, who piloted a seaplane
during the war. Mr. Carroll's body
was not found.
Bodies Mutilated.
The bodies were mutilated and
floating, proving that death resulted
from injuries received in the crash
and not drowning.
From an eyewitness account, the
pilot must have fainted or had
a stroke and fallen forward on the
joy stick, guiding the machine
straight down, according to the
director of the Franch company.

guard at the penitentiary, the night of
Mav 11, 1921.
When Warden Fenton and Attor
ney Richard Stout went into King's
ceil yesterday afternoon and told him
hp must die next Fridav. the slaver
said little except to ask for cigarets
and bananas.
Fenton said he would suspend the
rules and allow King to smoke the
last few days of his life.
Attorhey Stout announced there
would be no further legal action tak
en in efforts to snatch King from his
doom.
Horse Subject to Mental
Telepathy, Owner Asserts
Elyria, O., June 3. Horses are
subject to mental telepathy; at least
so says John Schuster of La Grange,
who stopped his blind equine to per
mit an auto to pass.
As the car went by the sightless
horse kicked, demolishing a fender.
That the horse has an inclination
to kick and damage autos, although
the animal is sunable to see its man
made successor, is a claim made by
Schuster.

Harvesting of Winter'
Wheat Starts in Oklahoma
Frederick, Okl., June 3. Harvest
ing of winter wheat began today in
the southwestern counties of Okla
homa with the throbbing binders and
reapers and the usual bustle of crop
gathering visible in many fields.
The crops have been ready for the
workers for about a week, reports to
the state department of agriculture
say, but continued rains have pre
vented cutting.
Nearly all wheat in the southern
counties is reported well filled. A
crop slightly larger than the five-year
average is generally looked for,
though slight reductions in acreage
under last year are reported from
some sections.

Washington, June 2. By direction
of the president, Secretary of War
Weeks has withdrawn the commis
sion of Herbert J. Fahey as a sec
end lieutenant in the air service re
serve eorps on the ground of mis
conduct in connection with Fahey's
flight in an airplane over Lincoln
Memorial during the dedication serv-
' ices there on "Decoration day.
Fahey's commission was with-
cVanw, Mr. Weeks said, upon three
charges of misconduct, disrespect to
the president, interfering with a
great, solemn, national ceremonial
and endangering the lives of many
people.
Reserve officers, it was explained,
hold their commissions "during the
pleasure of the president," and the
commissions may be withdrawn for
various reasons. The case was ag
gravated, the secretary said, by the
fact that Fahey had been warned by
r.o less than three army ofticers that
he should not fly over the memorial
during the ceremony, '

McKelvie Asks
Government to
Aid in Man Hunt
Fugitive Again Eludes Posse
in Omaha Ashland Bridge
Guarded by State
Deputies.
Airplanes may join the man hunt
for Fred Brown, which has been
keeping ofticers of Omaha and Lin
coln, Douglas and Lancaster coun
ties, and State Sheriff Hyers' forces
busy for. a week.
Brown again gave the posses the
slip Friday evening after he was be
lieved to have been surrounded south
of Fontenelle park.
Governor McKelvie Saturday wired
air mail headquarters in Washington
asking authority for Omaha air mail
planes to join the hunt, expressing
the belief if these pilots would fly
low over the territory between Oma
ha and Lincoln, Brown might be lo
cated. Four of Sheriff Hyers' deputies
guarded the Ashland bridge all
night. They returned to Lincoln Sat
urday morning, leaving a fresh
deputy posted there.
Lincoln police continue to answer
the numerous calls on reports Brown
has been seen there, declaring they
are taking no chances.
Omaha pclice continue to answer
calls that Brown has been seen in
Omaha.
Ike Card, 3841 Wirt s.treet, was
put through a severe questioning by
Sheriff Gus Hyers when police were
informed Brown had been seen en
tering Gard's home.
Gard denied knowing Brown, but
later admitted he knew him under
the name of King when he ran a
grocery store at Fortieth and Bed
ford streets.
Two ofticers. on guard at the
Brown shack, where two girls and a
man were shackled with chains last
Sunday, were fired on Friday night
by some one hiding in a thicket. Po
lice are inclined to believe some one
was attempting to play a practical
joke.

Day '"Roundup."
Lincoln. June 3. (Special.) A
monstrous parade, participated in by
1,000 university alumni and students,
was held today at noon on the down
town streets as a semi-climax to the
three-day "roundup" of alumni and
students. Cecil C. North of the
class of '02 spoke to students and
alumni on the university campus.
The parade was headed by Frank
Eager, marshal of the day, on horse

After them was the band and then
the official head of the parade, Chan
cellor Samuel Avery, with some

cream costume and carried a large
banner.

posed of classes arranged in the or
der of their age, beginning with the
class of 1880. The last class was that
of '21.
The history of the classes and or
ganization and traditions of the uni
vesity could be read from banners
carried by the marchers. The old
band wagon, used for years in haul
ing victorious football teams, filled
with children of the alumni, came
last.
Avenue of Years.
Tents- were pitched on the campus
and each tent was used as registra
tion headquarters for a particular
class. The row of tents was named
the "Avenue of Years."

ties held ba.nquets for alumni mem
bers of Greek letter societies.
Coal Dealers in England
Regaining German Trade
Essen, Germany, June 3. (By A.
P.) Coincident with the marked de
cline in the production of coal in the
Ruhr district, it was announced yes
terday that English coal dealers were
increasingly regaining their former
German markets in industrial and
seaport areas, and are even invading
the Rhenish Westphalian sector.
During the first quarter of 1922,
England exported 133,000,000 English
tons of coal to Germany, valued at
approximately 202,000,000,000 marks.
Recent German orders show that
1,000,000 tons of coal were received
from Newcastle in one week. This
increase in importation is due to the
scarcity of German coal.

Senator Norris
Asks Return of
Troops on Rhine
Declares Congress Will Some
lime Refuse to Appropriate
Money for Soldiers
Now in Germany.
By GEORGE F. AUTHIER.
Washington Correspondent of The Bee.
Washington, June 3. (Special
Telegram.) Senator Xorris of Ne-
li s k3 is nnnnspd tn maintaining 1
American troops on the Rhine in
Germany any longer. In the debate
on the army bill, he said: "i should
be very glad indeed to know that we
arc getting our share of the money
from Germany to pay for the ex
penses of our troops on the Rhine, but
it has been a long time since there
was any use for our troops there,
and a considcrabe time since the an
nouncement was made that our
troops were all going to be brought
home; but they have not all been
brought back yet.
"If we are going to keep them for
ever, there will certainly come a time
when congress will wake up enough
to decline to appropriate money to
keep them there.
"If there is any reason .why they
should be kept there I certainly
would not want to prohibit the pay
ment of the money for them, but I
have never yet heard what, to my
mind, was a sufficient reason, or for
that matter, any reason why we
should maintain a single soldier in
Europe."
