' taken In cixtody while aboard an
ejNjhound Sunset limited, admitted
that her real name wai Mrs. Clara
Phillips. The wonan vm placed
(under arret on advicei from Lot
Angeles, which stated that she was
wanted in connection with the killing
ot Mrs. Alherta Meadows.
The admission of the prisoner was

Ser cell for three hours with John
s been engaged to act as her coun
.el.
Sheriff V. E. Treager of Los An-
Relc. who arrived in Tucson Friday
night, declared he would take Mrs.
Phillips to Los Angeles Saturday
night. Mrs. Phillips agreed to ac
. company the officer voluntarily.
A letter brought here by Sheriff
Treager addressed to Mrs. A. L.
Phillips and claimed by the sheriff
to have been written by Mr. Phillips,
her husband, was the medium
through which the admission as to
her identity was obtained.
Confera With Attorney.
When Sheriff Treager first ap
peared at the police station and con
fronted the woman in her cell with
the letter, she refused to accept .it.
'She insisted that she was Clara
McGuyer.
Immediately after rejecting the
epistle she requested permission from
authorities to consult with her at
torney. After being cloeted for
three hours with her lawyer, the lat
ter came out of the cell and said:
"We're now ready to see the sheriff.
She has confided everything to me."
The Los Angeles sheriff was sum
moned and Attorney Van Buskirk,
accomapnied by Treager, police of
ficials and Los Angeles and local
newspaper men, led the way to the
basement cell where the prisoner was
field
"Sheriff Traeger, meet Mrs. Phil
lips," said the attorney in way of
introduction. , .
"Well, that's over," remarked the
sheriff. "We will leave tonight at
11:35 for Los Angeles.
"I'm tickled to death," Mrs. Phi!
lips replied.
Questions Barred. ,
Trapper than tore open the en
.velopc addressed to Mrs. A. L. Phil
lips and handed the prisoner a sheet
of folded yellow . paper, apparently
'written on only one side.
' Mrs. Phillips moved over to a cor
ner of tlie' cell, while those present
turned their backs. In just a tew
seconds, not long enough for more
than a cursory glance, she turned
a smiling face to the newspaper men
and officials.
"You may talk to me all you
want now," was her next remark.
But all questions in regard to the
slaying were barred by her attor
ney. ,
"Oh yes, I will tell you that," she
replied in answer to a query as to
how lonf she had been married. "I
was married nine years ago."
Rings found upon the person of
Mrs. Phillips when she was arrested
as Mrs. McGuyer, have been the
su:-.t of considerable speculation
arhuiig local officials. Three dia
monds and one pearl ring, and two
cameos are included in the collec
tion. "Are these your rings?" she was
"You bet they are mine," she re
plied.
Thought Wife Crazy.
Los Angeles, July 16, Because he
thought that his wife, Mrs. Clara
Phillips, was insane and dangerous
to' the community, was the reason
her husband, A. L. Phillips, told offi
cers that she had confessed to him
that she killed Mrs. Alberta Mead
ows with a hammer here last Wed
nesday, thus bringing about her ar
rest at Tucson, Ariz., and an indict
ment against her for murder, accord
ing fo a statement he made to his at
torney. Officer assigned to the case spent
most of the day investigating various
ansles of the story told before a
county grand jury Friday by Mrs.
Peggy Caffee, who said she had seen
Mrs. Phillips beat Mrs. Meadows to
death with a hammer. The officers
asserted there were several discrep
ancies in Mrs. Caffee's story,..
They refused to make known the
result of their investigation but de
clared that there will be important
changes in the situation in the in
quest which will be held Monday
morning.

Big Chiefs of Africa Are
Honored at French Capital
Rulers of Black Tribes Received by President Miller
and Jungle Fashions Envy of Women at Paris

Jazz Suffers From Restrictions.
Tiris, July l6.-(By A. P.)
.wenty-si big chiefs of the west
African coast tribes, who never be
fore had left the slave-recruitinf re
gion whence the American black
race came, constituted an original
feature yesterday of the rsench In
dependence day." They represented
six different French colonies, as they
marched up the decorated stands, by
President Millerand, to be thanked
for the 200,000 fighters they sent to
France during the war. They got at
much applause as did the poilus on
their first appearance on parade, aft
er the armistice. Incidentally, the
gorgeousness of their attire, discour
aged a good many women who, with
hand-painted gowns, were trying to
out-do the picturesquenrss of jungle
fashions.
With their numerous wives and 40
servants, the big chiefs are lodged in
barracks near the Bois de Boulogne,
where once resided one of the
princes of Dahomy, Gle Gle, the Da-
homian king, who first ceded Afri
can territory to the French.
Chief Foch a Favorite.
The chiefs, their wives and follow
ers were so dazzled and bewildered
by the sights of the French capi
tal, that a considerable number of
?uards were required to keep them
rom going astray. When asked
what was the first thing they wanted
to see, upon their arrival, a spokes
man, in fairly good trench, replied:
"Big Chief Foch."
The marshal escorted them to see
the last resting place of another "big
chief" the tomb of Napoleon, whose
renown also has penetrated into the
African jungles.
The official program of their visit
will take them to see the battlefields.
where African riflemen did yeoman
service for France, but some of the
chiefs already have made it known
that they would rather stay in Paris.

Old Dances Return.
The minuet, the gavol, the ma
zurka and other old favorite dances
are coming back along with the waltz
and the polka and the "shimmy" and
similar freaks have got to go along
with jazz music, in the opinion of
close observers of tendencies of the
times
French dancing masters already
have started a movement 19 revive
the old picturesque dances, dating
from the 17th century, which, they
say, are the only ones that go grace
fully with the old styles in women's
dress which are coining back into
favor.
Jazz also is likely to suffer from
increasing restrictions exercised by
pleasure seekers. Although here are
nearly 37,000,000,000 francs in paper
money in France, it is showing itself
with less and less liberality in places
where people enjoy themselves and
jazz, said the manager of one of these
establishments, doesn t go with any
thing but 'fizz. "
Ihe mumcipa. council has given
notice that the jazz kings from Dix
ieland must abdicate after next New
Year's day. They will be permitted
to make only 10 per cent of the noise

had a practical monopoly. This ac

Jefferis Makes
Closing Plea in
Senate Campaign
Address! Open-Air Audience
at Blair After Tour
Through 52 Counties
of State.
Congressman A. V. Jefferis. re
publican candidate for United States
senator, doted a speaking campaign
at Blair Saturday night before an
open-air audience, after a tour
through 52 counties. During the day
he visited Tekamah and Herman.
The congressman, introduced by
John F. White, chairman of the
WashiiiBton county republican cen
tral committee, stated that he has
no hobby, no panacea, nor any de
sire to make false promises in go
ing before the electorate which will
make their selections at the primaries
next Tuesday.
"I stand here without any strings
attached to me," he-said. "I said
that I have no hobby, but in fact
I have one and it is to conserve the
health, wealth and happiness of the
peojile of Nchraska and the'United
aiatcs.
Not Class-Controlled.
"I say that I have not put my
signature to any propaganda and I
will not be controlled by any class.
I cannot see into the future and fore
tell what problems will arise. All
I can promise the people is that
if measures come up in he senate,
and if I am there, I will study them
carefully and then give an honest
judgment and draw the best con
clusions that I can. It will be my
ambition to be a public servant like
the late Moses Kinkaid, who was a
man with mind and heart ever open
to the voice of the people.
Appeals for Moderation.
The speaker made an appeal for
moderation in thought and action.
Along that line of thought he said:
" 'Live and let live' should be the
motto of all the people of this
country who are really engaged in
a great co-operative effort. We
should develop a public sentiment
that will prevent the arraying ot
one group against the other. Let us
promote a moderation of thought,
that we may work and prosper to
gether. Let us be done with all
feeling of hatred and "let us culti
vate a spirit of helpfulness, because
we have to work together. We should
use reason and judgment in solving
the problems before ur.
Opposes Class Fights.
"There is- a diversity of interests
and activities among the people of
this country and this is no time to
array groups; it is a time for mod
eration and common sense. This
calls for restraint and for a love of
country. The dearest thing we have
is this government of ours. Our
forn of government does not mean
that one particular crowd or class
should cru.h or coerce another. I
ppral to American iituens in cul
tivate a strong spirit of loyalty and
fairnrss. Let ti believe in ourelve
ami othert and make this a nation
01 contentment and cheer. This is
the great fundamental purpose that
dominates our lives. We are reach
ing into an era that will surpass any
thing experienced in this country. I
predict that the railroad and coal
situations will be adjusted and that
the adjui tiucnt will he on a basis
that will be fair to all.'
Referring to the mralrs of the na
tional administration, Congressman
Jefferis asserted that the question of
refunding any of the loans made to
foreisn nations during the peiiod of
the war cannot he an itie now. In
lanse congress already has ei'acti'd a
law which proud" that tin coun
try shall receive bonds as evidence

reductions accomplished in national
Canutes, by dismissing J(K),thK( ov
er.'inient employes, reduction of auny
and navy and through oilier means.
He advised against any premature
alarm over the pending tariff legisla
tion, because it is yet in the forma
live stage. He also stated that the
present administration went into
