G. 0. P. Chairman,
Friends Declare
Reports That Republican
Committee Chief Will Re
sign Denied—Will Confer
With President Soon.
By Universal Smlrf.
Washington, April 14.—Return of
Republican National Chairman John
T. Adams to the capital brought
forth the positive statement from
dose friends that he will continue
ns head of the committee, in spite of
Inspired reports that lie will retire.
"Chairman Adams has no idea of
resigning,” declared a republican
leader in position to speak authorita
tively. "He was elected for a term
which does not expire until the next
national convention adjourns. He
will serve out that term.”
Adams personally declined to com
ment on the reports. He said he
probably would issue a statement
soon outlining the committee's plans
for the near future.
it was learned that since Chairman
Adams' arrival in Washington Thurs
day influential friends in the party.
Including members of the national
committee and senate leaders, had ad
vised him to "sit tight.” These lead
Ms regard the stories that there
would be a new chairman as coming
from the pro-entanglement wing of
the administration.
Chairman Adams will call at the
(Vhite House to pay his respects to
the president within a day or two. If
Mr. Harding consults him as to his
attitude on the court proposition, he
ioubtless- will lay before the execu
tive the eituation as it appears from
information reaching the national
committee, backing it up with his
»wri views.
Frequent conferences are expected
to be held during the next few
months between Chairman Adams
and members of the committee. Much
preliminary work must be done m
advance of the regular meeting in
December, when the scene of the next
•onvention must be decided upon.

Omaha’s Centenarian Club •
Gets New Member Tuesday
Mrs. William Hothscliild.
■William Everitt, carpenter, Tues
day will Join Omaha's circle of cen
tenarians.
Joseph Wilkinson, 2627 Davenport
street, who was 100 October 30, and
Mrs. William Rothschild, 710 South
Thirty-eighth street, who will be 101
Sunday, already have experienced the
thrill of crossing the century mark.
Everitt is a member of First
Christian church, Mrs. Rothschild is
a member of Temple Israel and Wil
i kinson is a Christian Scientist. They
| have lived far apart, but their views
on wealth are similar.
| “If I had my life to live over,”
| Everitt said today as he ate a break
fast of fried eggs and bananas, "1
I would change only one thing. I would
want to learn to read, so that I could
understand better the teachings of
God.
His One Drau hack.
“All my life I have had to depend
on others to tell me things As a
boy in London I asked an educated
man to tell me who created the beau
tiful flowers. ‘God,’ was his answer.
Oh, the neglience of our churchgoers
of education! What good Is their
knowledge If their answers are such?
I hungered for his understanding, but
he was too busy to teach the word.”
i Everitt attends services frequently
1 and! has been an untiring church
! worker, but ,he picks flaws in the
churches.
“They're so cold to the average
man he needs an ice pick to break
in,“ he declared. “I blame their at
titude and their pastors for many of
their ills.”
Active Working at l®*’
Everitt lives in a semi-basement at
ytJnfril/ieiM t'veritt
2217 Douglas street, lie Is still active
as a carpenter. A whole row of
garages near his home are his work;
next week he'll build one for a gro
cer near his home. The furnishings
of his home are exceedingly modest
even in a rooming house neighbor
hood.
"But if I had it all to do over
again,’ he declared, ”1 wouldn’t ask
for mansions nor money; all l would
want would be a better friendship
with God, the unfailing friend.”
Everitt went to church last night
to attend an illustrated lecture on
"Constantinople.’ He found it nearly
as interesting as Bill Hart and hig
film dramas, which he sees fre
quently.
Doctors Distrusted.
Wilkinson, who began truck fann
ing in 1RS2 near Forty-eighth street
and Curtis avenue and lived many
years on his five-acre tract, has been
retired by a stroke of paralysis.
“I won t let a doctor treat me,” he
said today, "and ha vp faith in Chris
tian Science. My condition is im
proving and I hope to recover. It
wis severe at first but now the ail
ment is confined to my foot.
”.Vn, 1 wouldn't change my life if
I were to live it again, for J have
been happy and find contentment in
my religious convictions. Faith Is
the only thing and money Is a delu
sion except as It provides neces
sities."
Of the three centenarians, Mrs.
Rothschild lives In the greatest
luxury. Her home is one of a grand
piano, beautiful pictures, a phono
graph and modern furniture.
Health and Faith Her Ideals.
"But health and faith in the good
things of life are the secret of hap
piness.” she said. "The world is
moving away front some of its good
ness. The girls dress immodestly,
which possibly will leave Its influence
on coming generations, and one reads
every day of wars and more wars.
"Napoleon had just swaggered
through Europe in my youth, but
there was more peace In the world;
we had more thoughts of pence."
She was a girl of 19 when she left
Germany for America.
Mrs, Rothschild reads without
glasses and, like the other members
of Omaha’s 100 circle, is keenly in
terested In current events.
Fifteen years ago she suffered a
fractured hip in a fall and now
spends much of her time in a chair.
She has had pneumonia twice and
influenza once.
"I have been well satisfied,” she de
clared, “but if I were living my life
again I'd be sure to make heallh a
major goal.”

Every phase of its operation has been so notably
improved as to give the car a place of overshadowing
importance.
Come in for a trial ride. Test the car on the road. See
how wonderfully it responds to alldriving requirements.
Note the increased flow of smooth and flexible power
resulting from a vital engineering development in the
Nash perfected motor and carburetor.
