was surprised lliii morning whrft
became known that 1'remirr foincare
had flipped quietly out of the city 1
automobile for hit country home in
the department of Meue early toilay.
It had been announced lat niht
that the premier had left by train
for hit week end ho!i2sy. Elaborate
precaution mere taken at the rail
wav nation when he was suppose
to have departed, aid it wai said an
engine had preceded the tram to pre
vent a poiimic attempt to wrccic it.
It wai learned today, however that
a quick change had been made in the
plant in order to avert any attempt
on the premier s lite, which might ne
made in connection with the an
nouncement yesterday that a German
monarchist plot to assassinate him
was in existence.
DIacuiaea Plot
It 11 understood, the premier is
clanning to carry out his original in
tention of participating in the unveil
ins . of the war memorial in the
Argonne tomorrow near his country
home at Sampigny.
Before leaving fan's last night the
premier discussed the alleged plot
and precautions considered advis
able, with the new prefect of police.
M. Naudin and with Minister of the
Interior Maunroury. The reported
plot is understood to be the work
of the monarchist association known
as the consul.
Encouraged by its success in plan
ning the removal of former German
Minister ot finance trzberger and
former Foreign Minister Rathenau,
the association, according to the re
port made to the French foreign of
fice, decided to extend its scope be
yond the German frontier and select
ed Premier Poincare as the first
victim.
, Precautions Taken.
At the time the assassination of
Dr. Ratenau a report was current in
Berlin that the next victim would
be Dr. Joseph Wirth, the German
chancellor and the French premier,
but no attention was paid to the
report here at that time. The al
leged plot, knowledge of which came
from the Belgian government, had
been worked out with such detail,
both as to its organization and the
means the monarchists intended to
employ to accomplish their end, ac
cording to the official report that
the French government felt it could
not safely disregard it. After con
siderable deliberation it was decided
the best means of frustrating the at
tempt was to make a public state
ment, which accordingly -was issued
yesterday. At the same time
all necessary precautions have' been
taken for the protection of Premier
Poincare,
Good Roads Boomerang
Says Noted Churchman
Portland, Ore-v July 29. Good
roads have been a boon to many
communities and many, people, but
have proved a boomerang in at least
one direction, according to the Rev.
E. tt. Martin, superintendent of the
upper Pacific coast district of the
American Sunday school union.
It is the rural church which Jias
suffered, due to the general improve
ment of the highwaysJn recent years,
in Rev. Martin's opinion.
Before the inroads of good roads,
with their accompanying automobiles,
each small community had its church,
he pointed out, but of late years those
interested in church work have flock
ed to the nearest city, leaving the ru
ral districts without church leader
ship. -
Thousands of country districts
are now unchurched, the Rev. Mar
tin declared, adding that 3,000 rural
school districts in the three states of
Oregon, Washington and Idaho are
without Sunday schools.. s , i
Vandals Multilate Grave
of Noted Frontiersman
Deadwood, S. D., July 29. (Spe
cial.) Residents of the Black.Hills
have become angered by the ac
tion of vandals who have broken
through the wire screen protecting
the grave of "Wild Bill" Hickok in
Mount Moriah cemetery, hear Dead
wood; and are making a practice of
chipping off pieces of the monument
for souvenirs.
An old statue of "Wild Bill," which
was carved many years ago and erec
ted over the grave of the noted fron
tiersman, was multilated beyond
recognition by vandals and souvenir
hunters, and the present monument
seems- destined to go the same way
unless means can be found to put,
a stop to the operations of the van
dals. Retired Actress Expires ,

Chicagoan, Charmed foy Omaha, Begs C. of C.
Here to Give Wife Excuse for His Return
Arrest Des Moines Man
After Exciting Chase
Chicago, July 29 Samuel BSef-
ren, a furrier of Des Moines, la., was
arrested here after an exciting chase
between the Sefren touring car and
a taxical) along the Oold Coast.
The arrest was made upon com
plaint of Frank Wachman, who said
that Srfcen was under two indict
ments for perjury. Trouble between
the men is said to have started here
when Sefren caused the arrest of
Wachman and his father on a charge
of operating a confidence game, al
leging that they had given him a
worthless check for $6,000.
Wachman is president of the Iowa
Canadian Mining company, with
headquarters at Des Moines.
Fascinating Omaha I How it fastened its charms on a Chicagoan
so that he is now tortured, with a longing to return here, is told in a
letter received yesterday by Montagu Tancoxk, manager of the Chamber
of Commerce publicity bureau.
Here is a rather odd request, says the letter. Chicago is my
home town and we lived here until six years ago when 1 was sent to
Omaha. That many years in Omaha has fostered in me a liking for
Omaha, a"4iisliking for Chicago and a yearning to return to the Ne
braska metropolis.
My wife likes both places, but here is where the rub comes in. 1
have no reason to return to Omaha and, unless I have some sort of a
reason I cannot prevail upon her to return. Sentimental reasons are
not sufficient, so I have concluded to write the Chamber of Commerce
and have it besiege my wife with highly colored and sweetly spiced lit
erature about Omaha. Mail this as if it were unsolicited. If a response
to this letter is forthcoming, have it so worded that it shall not betray
my purposev I realize that there is an apparent trend of humor through
out this letter, but I am sincere."
Mr. Tancock has sent Jorward the first battery or siege guns of
highly colored and sweetly spiced literature.
