TO BE EFFECTIVE DECEMBER 1 Approximately 800,000 lien, Includ ing; Employes Here, to te Af fected by Changes. Chicago. Nov. IS. The United States railroad labor board announc ed tonight that new working; rule. for the six shop crafts probably will be completed and issued in time to become effective December 1. Issuance of the rules, under a re cent decision of the board, paves the way for consideration of requests, which may be filed by the roatls for revision of the shop craft wage sched ules. The new shop craft rules will af fect approximately 800.000 men on all "class-1" railroads in the coun try. Only ninety-four railroads are directly concerned in" the present case, the others not having their submissions in proper shape when the case was taken up, but board members anticipate that all class-1 railroads probably will carry out the decisions without further bearings. The beard's statement issued to night said: "Such satisfactory progress during the past week has been made in the consideration of rules and working conditions for the six shop crafts that it is altogether probable that these rules will be completed and will become effective December 1." Maintenance of Way Conies Next The board members pointed out tonight that the new rules virtually have been completed in less than five months, while the national agreement, which they supercede, re quired the attention of railway, gov ernment and labor representatives and experts seven months. The board, it was indicated to night, will next take up for con sideration the rules and working conditions for the maintenance of ways employees. - There are a large number of disputed - questions re garding these rules already before the board and statisticians have pre pared most of the cases for pre3enta- Stage!

Larcson is said to be going good again, and Omaha promoters are angling for a match between he and Andy Schmader as soon as Andy is able to enter the ring, following his recent injury in -the bout hero with Soldier Msrples. Schmader began light workouts at his training quar ters in Louisville this week and ex pects to get back into the game be fore the first of the year. Mike Itoscoe, South Side pugilist, earned a technical knockout over Andy's brother George in the fifth round of their scheduled six round go. Roscce will be remembered as the boy who . kissed the canvass in the fourth round here under a ter rific reign of body blows from the younger Schmader. They have now met four times, with honors evenly divided. Up at Minneapolis, Kid Schlaife, Ojnnha's Hebrew mitt artist, put the finishing touches to Gunner Joe Quinn in the second round of their ten round bout, the main event of the Minneapolis show. Schlaifer is credited with knocking Quinn to the canvass four times in that round, before the " game northerner would take the count. Schlaifer is well known--here and has a considerable following among local boxing fans. HAS COLLAR BONE BE0KE During the Plattsmouth-Auburn football game yesterday afternoon. John Ptak, half back of the local high school team, had his right shoulder injured and his collar bone fractured. John has been one of the mainstays of the team and since the injury of Louis Svoboda a few weeks ago, has been the chief factor n the offensive plaj-s of the team. The in jury to these two players has badly crippled the team for the remainder of its schedule.

HERE'S REASON, MAYBE In reply. to a querry as to why a number of local men entitled to re ceive state service certificates, did not have theirs included In the ship ment sent to the Legion post here fcr distribution. Adjutant General Paul advises that the certificates were sent to the address given on the men's army service record as their home town, and says it will be necessary for them to write to the American Legion post of that town to have the same forwarded. Some of the men who chose to call our neighboring suburb to the north their home town, now face the propo sition of getting their certificates through the Omaha post of the Am erican Legion, for regardless of the draft board or any other circum stance, the certificates were sent out to the address claimed by the man as home, during the time he was in ser vice. Any Nebraska soldier who has not yet received his certificate should think just where he told 'em to put him down from on the service rec ord and then get in touch with the Legion officials of that place. Adjutant Paul also advises that the certificates of officers have not been issued as yet, but will be forth coming later. VISITED AT HOSPITAL Mr. and Mrs. Ed Jochim, Mrs. George Vogler, Mrs. Frank Riester and Mrs. John Scheel drove to Lin coln last Sunday to visit with Mrs. Henry Jochim and little daughter, Dorothy, of Tecumseh. who are at the hospital in Lincoln. The little girL. who is three years old, underwent an operation last week for appendicitis and has been in a very serious condition. The ap pendix had burst before she could be gotten to the hospital but under the care of a special nurse, and with her mother assisting in the care of her, she is doing very well, but is not considered entirely out of dan ger. Mrs. Jochim's many friends in this vicinity will be sorry to learn of the little girl's illness and hope for a . favorable report, in the near fu ture. While at the hospital, the Louis ville visitors had the pleasure of meeting Miss Iva Seybert, a former popular Louisville girl, who Is now living at Havelock with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Seybert, and Is taking a training course for nurses at the St. Elizabeth's hospital in Lincoln. She is getting along nicely and likes her chosen work very much. She was pleased to meet old friends from home and sent her regards to those in Louisville. Louisville Cour ier. FOR BENT Sam Smith house on Sixth and Vine. See F. R.

AUBURN VIIIS GAME BY A SCORE OF 20 TO 0 Yesterday afternoon the Auburn high school football team- journeyed up to our peaceful little city and af ter a short contest on the local grid iron, returned homeward with the scalps of the Plattsmouth team dang ling from their belts, having won by the score of 20 to 0. In the opening the visitors kicked off and Chase returned the ball for twenty-five yards, but on downs the locals failed to advance and on a pass the visitors brought the ball in to the Plattsmouth territory and with a series of line drives and end runs were able to push over the first touchdown 'in the .opening ten min utes of play-' and' also kicked goal. In the second quarter the locals stiffen ed their resistance and the Auburn eleven were unable to do anything in the scoring line. In the last half the Auburn team uncovered a - very clever fake play that ' allowed ' them to put over an other touchdown and they were able to score a second time in the last quarter. r John Ptak of the local team suffer ed a severe dislocation of the right collar bone during the game that will keep him out for some time. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Meisinger mo tored to Omaha this afternoon where they will visit at the Immanuel hos pital with Mrs. Allie Meisinger, who is there recovtring from a surgical operation. Arriv ed at The nal Call and Make Your Your Christ mas Cards ave Jour Office Early BOOZE TRANSPORTER GETS CAUGHT HERE Fred Guhther, Giving Residence as Otoe County, Parts with $100 and Costs This Morning Last evening when most of the weary householders were - wending their way homeward to seek their ! downy couch. Sheriff C. D. Quinton was called out to the government highway south of this city, where a supposed liquor runner was reported to be heading south. The sheriff se cured the assistance of Chief ,of Police Jones and they motored out in that direction and there captured one Fred Gunther, who gave his habita tion as Otoe county. In the car the officers discovered ten gallons of the best Omaha brand of hootch, guaran teed to supply many a tempting glass to the thirsty of Otoe county, but which alas will not reach its desti nation as the Cass county sheriff con fiscated the booze along with the car of .the gentleman transporting it. This morning Mr. Gunther was ar raigned in the county court before Judge Allen J. Beeson and entered a plea of guilty to transportation of liquor and accordingly ,was given a tine or $100 and costs, as well as having his car sold. The gentle man paid the fine and went on his way, but not rejoicing. THE SUPREME COURT REVERSES DAVIS CASE In the Case of Theodore R. Davis, et al, vs. Ruby L. Davis and Barbara Davis. In the case of Theodore R. Davis, et al. vs. Ruby L. Davis et al, ap pealed to the state supreme court from the decision of the Cass coun ty district court, was decided at Lin coln yesterday by the state tribunal in favor of the defendants and the action of the district court reversed. This matter grows out of the set tlement of the estate of John H. Davis, deceased, formerly a well known resident of near Weeping Water, the deceased having left a will giving all his property, real and personal to his widow, Barbara Dav is, and among the heirs were Philip S. Davis, a son, who has since that time passed away leaving as his heir, a" widow.. Ruby L. Davis. The case was tried here in May 1920 and at which time the plaintiffs were awarded the estate. The defendants through Byron Clark and Jesse L. Root of Omaha and W. A. Robert; son of this city, prosecuted an ap peal to the state supreme court and secured a quite a notable victory in the reversal of the case. The one-eighth interest of the de fendant. Ruby L. Davis in the es tate will be in the neighborhood of $40,000. LITTLE FOLKS GIVE MOST DELIGHTFUL TIME Program at Public Library Auditor ium . Largely Attended and Greatly Enjoyed. ' Yesterday afternoon the public li brary auditorium was crowded by some 350 interested spectators to at tend the delightful musical enter tainment and program offered by the Church School Service League of St. Luke's parish of the Episcopal church. The little folks that took part in the program displayed an exceptional cleverness and with their winsome ways and charming little personalities made the event one of the greatest of enjoyment for the audience. Mrs. W. S. Leete had the supervision of the affair while Miss Margaret Donelan, Mrs. Chas. Dovey. . Mrs. W. R. Egenberger and Miss Gunderson had part in the prep aration of the children for the dif ferent group numbers. Mrs. T. . B. Bates and Mrs. W. R. Egenberger were the accompanists for the little folks in their singing acts. .The program was as follows and the Bplendid work of the littlo folks is such that entitles them to the highest praise: Piano solo Jane Dunbar Recitation Mary Egenberger Scottish dance Helen Jane West Recitation ; Bobbie Finder Recitation Marion Fricke Vocal solo Ida Egenberger Song, "The Coockoo Clock" .

E. F. "Ever since' returning to this country I have been impressed with the continuing necessity of the pres ent work of the American Red Cross, particularly for the disabled veter ans," says Sergeant Woodfill. "In ad dition to the friendly services for the men in the hospitals more than 2,300 chapters 1n a smany cities and towns, I am told, are serving dis abled men in many friendly ways. "All this work is most necessary in backing up what the government ;1s-ioing for the disabled and I hope that the people of the country,-- by I becoming members-of the Red Cross I during the present, annual Jtoli Call will help It so en until tn need is over." I HOLD ANNIVERSARY SOCIAL From Saturday's Dally. Last evening the members of the Service class of the Christian church held a very pleasant' gathering at the parlors of the church in one of the usually pleasant anniversary so cials. On these occasions the birth days and wedding anniversaries of the various members of the church are celebrated and they have proven occasions of the rarest delight. On the program were a number of de lightful selections. Miss Wilma Drucker favoring the company with a piano number, and Milton Hollo- well, Ruth Pickett giving recitations while Mrs. Lloyd Lewis favored the company with one of her relightful readings. After the informal program the merry party enjoyed a community song, the different groups joining in the songs that all so much enjoyed. There were twenty-eight of the young people In atendance and the event which covered the anniversar ies for October and November proved thoroughly delightful. CRANDALL TO HAVE CHARGE OF BUREAU Headquarters of Federal Veteran's .Bureau For Eastern Neb. and Western la., in Omaha. Leona A. Crandall, formerly in charge of the Lincoln office of the federal board for vocational educa tion, has been placed in charge of the consolidated offices located at 701 Woodmen of the World building at Omaha. That city is now headquar ters of the government veterans' bu reau for eastern Nebraska and ten counties of western Iowa. C. M. McCarger, who has been in charge of the vocational training bu reau at Omaha, remains at the head of this division embracing the ex tended territory. Mr. Crandall has taken a home at 4855 Burt street. "It means better service for the state," said Mr. Crandall. "We have taken nothing from Lincoln and add ed little to Omaha, the consolidation being that of administration. Leland Towle has been left in charge of the Lincoln office to handle matter;! arising in that area as heretofore. The consolidation means, Mr. Crandall explained, that instead of having the work in this area under two offices, it will hereafter all be directed out of the Omaha office. There are now approximately 900 ex-service men receiving vocational training In the area with 1,700 still eligible. Seven field men will work out: of the Omaha office, interview ing these men and explaining to them their privileges under the bu reau's plan. " , .. .-. "'.! REINSTATEMENT OF INSURANCE URGED December 31st Last Date on Which This May be Done, IT. S. War Vets' Bureau Advises December 31, 1921, is the last date that reinstatement' of War Risk In surance can be made. All ex-service men can reinstate their government insurance up until that date, regard less of how long it has lapsed, pro viding they comply with certain re quirements, varying from the mere statement of the applicant that he is in good health to a full medical ex amination where the lapsed time is over six months. At least two monthly premium payments on the amount reinstated must accompany the application, one for the first lapsed month, dur ing which the applicant was protect ed on his former policy. Men disabled in the service may reinstate only 6n the payment of all back premiums and interest thereon at 5 per cent, compounded annually from date of each premium. The time is getting short only six weeks remain in which the op portunity to reinstate will be avail able. A comparatively small number of Plattsmouth ex-service men are con tinuing their government insurance, although the rate and convertible op tions are features that make it high ly desirable. If you are desirious of reinstating before fhe expiration of this time limit, get in touch with American Legion officials at once, who will furnish you with the neces sary application blanks. The American Legion convention at Kansas City passed a resolution urging congress to permit reinstate ment of government insurance up to five years from date of discharge, but there is no certainty of this be ing favorably acted upon, and those who do not want to let the oppor tunity get away will do well to ar range for reinstatement before the last of this year. AIRPLANE WEAPON OF FUTURE New York, Nov. 17. Varying views as to the actual degree of arm ament limitation that would be brot about Secretary Hughes' program for a naval holiday and the scrap ping of battleships were developed by naval experts at the opening ses sion of the convention of the society of naval architects and engineers to day. . M. S. Chase, naval architect, of Boston, presented a paper in which he concluded that the airplane, rath er than the capital ship would be the "supreme" naval weapon of the fut ure. Rear Admiral W.

ARBUCKLE JURY IS COMPLETED FRIDAY Five Wemen Among the Twelve Who Will Decide the Film Comedian's Fate. San Francises, Nov. 18. Five wo men, four of them married, are on the jury sworn In the Arbuckle case. An alternate juror, Stephen A. Hop kins, .a paper merchant was also sworn in. Doctors Shelby P. Strange, acting city autopsy surgeon and William Orphuls, who conducted "both exter nal and internal examinations of Miss' Rappe's body, were; the first witnesses. They described the blad der rupture which caused Miss Rappe'a death. The prosecution ac cuses Arbuckle of causing this in Jury through-the application of ex ternal force. A half hour argument was built around a defense question to Dr. Or phuls as to whether' Miss . Rappe'a fatal injury might have been caused by sudden immersion Jna tub of cold water. The question, amended sever al times, was allowed, and the doctor said that such an injury was possi ble from such a cause. He also said the Injury was possible from, other causes. . Miss Rappe was immersed In a tub of cold water during the party In the Hotel St. Francis at which it Is al leged she was fatally injured. Some time was passed in discus sion as to whether there should be Saturday and night sessions. Gavin McNab, chief counsel for the defense, suggested that no session be held to morrow on account of the football game between California and Stan ford universities. The court said he desired to proceed tomorrow. Court and counsel left the mater to the jury to decide over night. Arbuckle'a expression changed from cheerfulness, apparent at the time the Jury was selected, to con cern and worry during the taking of the testimony. He listened intently and looked almost woe-begone at timeswnen he apparently interpreted the evidence as damaging to him. HAD AN AMERICAN INCOME New York. N. Y., Nov. 17.
