In Come the Nordics.
Gold Is Not Forgotten.
Torture Dies Slowly.
Rosenivald’s Insurance.
By ARTHUR BRISBANE
>-—_d
Last Thursday 1,454 Scandinav
ians, all very light blondes, came
into the llnited States and hurried
out west to work on farms.
Such migrating of light-haired,
blue-eyed men has had much to do
with chcnging the history of the
world of civilization.
Blue-eyed men coming down
Lorn the Balkans and mixing with
brown-eyed people from Asia made
the population and glory of
Greece.
Blue-eyed Nordics, mixing with
dark-eyed men from the Italian
peninsula, created the greatness
of France.
It is a crime to have immigra
tion laws that keep men of that
kind out of the United States, or,
for that matter, any good, ambi
tious member of the white race.
Another attempt has been made
to get gold and jewelry from the
Lusitania. The ill-fated ship went
down with five millions in gold in
its strong room, a million in gold
and jewelry in the purser’s safe.
Already the world begins to for
get the skeletons picked bare by
fishes inside that iron ship. But
it will not forget that gold, as
long as there is any chgnce of get
ting it. For gold we have excel
lent memories.
Men that rule the steel business
have promised to “end the 12
hour day as soon as possible.”
President Harding welcomes this
as a “forward step in industry.”
This is about how it will stand in
history:
Torture of witnesses as part
of all judicial proceedings was
abolished in France in the 18th
century, thanks to the revolution.
Working men 12 hours a day
with occasional 24-hour shifts in
the steel mills was abolished in the
United States in the 20th century,
without a revolution.
M .Ml-- t
The difference between tortur
ing men accused of no crime to
make them testify, and working
men 12 hours a day in steel
mills, is only a difference of de
gree. They tortured men to get
the truth out of them. We work
men 12 hours to get profits out of
them. Of the two the torture is
rather more respectable.
Chicago business firms have in
sured 14 of their best men for
more than 815,000,000. And that
isn't heavy insurance. Julius
Rosenwald, insured by his com
pany for $1,000,000, might better
have been insured for $40,000,000.
The great asset in every busi
ness is the man that knows how to
run it. In the case of Rosenwald,
the public as a whole might will
insure his life, for when he dies
—it may be 100 years from now—
intelligent philanthropy will .lose
one of its best workers and most
generous givers.
Half the people “invest” money
without knowing what they are
buying. Read about the Cling
company, with thousands of stock
holders. -It was supposed to manu
facture cutlery. It sold $800,000
worth of stock, mainly to stenog
raphers, servant girls and others
ignorant of business, and hasn’t
yet started to build a plant. But
it had five well organized branches
for selling slock to its victims.
Its total assets were less than
$25,000.
Don’t buy what you do not
thoroughly understand.
Mrs. Perry was shot and killed
by her sister-in-law, another Mrs.
Perry, in Cass county, Texas. You
ask “who was the man?” And
are surprised to learn that in this
case the women quarrelled about
a well. It’s about a man, nearly
always. With men, quarrelling
and killing is usually about money.
Mrs. Louise Arnold, a New York
widow, d6 years old, mother of
five, was told by Vincent Calvacca,
father if eight, that he was un
married and that he would marry
her. When the time came he told
her, rather brutally, that he was
married two or three times before.
She killed him with a knife. That
sounds more natural than the
Texas case.
Senator Couzens of Detroit, who
went into the Ford plant with
$1,500 and came out with $30,
000,000 rash, says workmen ought
to have 5 per cent beer, that it
would do no more harm than tea
ot coffee, and would discourage
“bootleg” whisky. Of 720 work
ers in one plant he found that 707
favored 5 per cent beer, 13 op
posed it. Anti-prohibition senti
ment is found in big factories, but
nevertheless, drastic changes in
prohibition law is unlikely for
many a year to come.

Saturday on a
charge of uaing

suance of a scheme
to defraud,
Nicholas, who Is
now president and
general manager
of the National
Petroleum Mar
keters association,
an organization of
Independent oil
companies with headquarters in Chi
cago, rushed to Omaha, leaving Chi
cago Friday night on receiving in
formation the grand Jury was hear
ing evidence in regard to his case.
Immediately on his arrival here he
went direct to the office of District
Attorney J. C. Klnsler to protest
against being indicted.
Kinsler said he told him he knew
nothing about what wns going on be
hind the closed doors of the jury
room.
He commented on his case to
friends, telling them that he was "be
ing persecuted by enemies.”
Mr. Nicholas’ bond was set at
$5,000. He was given smple time to
obtain the bond.
Friends and former business asso
ciates of Mr. Nicholas are standing
by him. Stockton Heth, present
manager of the company, who is act
ing in the interest of the stockhold
ers, said:
"Mr. Nicho.aa was too optimistic,
but he worked for what he thought
was the best ‘no-rests of the stock
holders, and he rever thought of de
.rauding avu.i- out of a penny.'*
According to tr ends, Nicholas had
to borrow money with which to buy
railroad tickets for his family and
pay for the shipping of hia house
hold goods »r. Chicago so he could
accept the ;nb offered him as pres!
dent of the Independent Oil Men s
association.
It became known yesterday that an
attempt was made to have Nichols*
indicted by the grand jury some time
ago, but an untrue bill was returned.
Mr. Nicholas while a resident of
Omaha too-< an active part in cl/lc
affairs. Hii company started from
a small red shed gasoline station
i ntil it had filling stations in every
part of the city and in many parts
of the state. He elso established a
huge refinery.
Then he announced that the cap
italization of the company would be
increased from $1,000,000 to $1,500,
000, to obtain money for additional
extensions.
The conspiracy to defraud com
menced at this time, according to the
return of the jury. This waa in 1919.
The grand jury indicted Nicholas
and his financial agent, E. H. Flynn,
on seven counts. The true bill
charged that stockholders were prom
ised big returns and that they could
redeem their stock for cash at any
time.
The return also charged that the
$500,000 obtained through the sale
of stock did not altogether go toward
the purpose for which It was intend
ed, but was used to pay dividends
and to make up big losses.

"Over 30 per cent of the entire con

"John Fitzpatrick, Robert M. Buck

‘Law, Not War,’ Pie t of Parade Banners
15,000 Marchers Represent Every State in Huge
Procession, Carrying Slogans on Unrest—W. J.
Bryan Speaks Today on Church’s Place
in Affairs of World.
By Awoclitfil Press.
Des Moines. la., July 8.-—A parade
of approximately 15,000 marchers
representing every state in the union
and numerous foreign countries, cli
maxed this week's program of the
world's Christian Endeavor conven
tion Saturday.
The spectacle was designed to em
phasize the far-reaching field of the
organization and banners and floats
set forth the ideals of service to
which the Endoavorers are conse
crated.
“Law, not war,” and similar slogans
relating to world unrest; pleas for the
application of Christian principles In
business and industry and for a fuller
sense of Christian citizenship were
prominent banners borne by the
marchers.
Leadership In the parade went to
states of the southwest and west by
reason of their large delegations.
Oklahoma won the honor position by
far exceeding its quota of delegates,
and following the Oklahomans, clad
In the convention colors of red and
White, were delegates from Wyoming.
Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, and
Texas, also honor states.
Christian Endeavor leaders re
viewed the marehers from a down
town grandstand.
Resolutions Adopted.
Another list of resolutions, Rdopt
ed by the convention, set forth
the organization's desire for "a war
less world.” for interdenominational
harmony, fellowship among races, ap
plication of the golden rule in indus
try and its desire to further Chris
tian eJuealion end all movements for
the uplifting of humanity.
“The Christian Kndeavorers. realiz
ing that they have comrades In all
lands under the sun, are naturally in
terested in every worthy interna
tional movement for co-operative
friendship,” read the peace resolu
tion.
"In harmony with the declaration
of the churches of all denominations
to which they belong, they rejoice in
the effort of the president to bring
the United States to the support of
recognize the limitation of arms
the world court of arbitration and
conference as the longest step yet
taken toward the goal of world wide
peace. We desire to give our sup
port to ail wise measures of co-oper
ation among the nations, that tend
to bring about eventually, a warless
world,” the resolution reads.
Divisions Scored,
The resolutions commended to Ihe
respective Protestant churches rep
resented in the makeup of Christian
Kndeavor, the principles of the so
ciety, "as a common denominator”
and deplored "unnecessary divisions"
between the churches as well as be
tween nations united through the
various church organizations.
The society, another resolution de
clared, is a worldwide training school
in fellowship and will continue to
strive for interracial goodwill.
The three-mile liquor regulations
arc to be enforced by the federal gov
ernment "if it requires nil the forces
at our command," T’nlted States
Senator Simeon D. Fess of Ohio de
clared in an address.
Senator F£ss was regarded by
convention delegates as the official
spokesman of the administration.
His reassurance that the government
means business when it talks to for
eign ship owners on the three-mile
zone was received as the govern
ment's reply to resolutions previously
adopted, urging a strengthening of
the prohibition enforcement agencies.
"The 3 8th amendment and the
Volstead law,” said Senator Fess,
"have been upheld by the supreme
crurt and the government has a
light to insist that they shall be ob
served both fcy Americans and for
eigners. i'hey will be enforced if It
takes the army and navy to do it.”
Senator F*-s* also announced that
he would seek to have the w.i.-ld
court proposal of President Harding
ratified by the next aenate.
"The United States can benefit by
adherence to the world court with
out Joining the league of nations,”
he declared. "This country should
support the tribunal, rot only from
the rostrum but from the treasury.’j)

“My Husband's Love”
The Story Sam Ticer Told Thai
Swiftly Sent Madge Home.
Jerry Tleer's excited request for
something to eat in a hurry for his
father and himself, because the state
troopers wished them to help capture
a man, apparently gave his mother
no Incentive to haste. She smiled at
the boy. and said calmly:
"Bring me in a couple of sticks
of wood, and then wash your face
and hands and put on a clean shirt
(and tie."
Jerry patently knew better than to
question her, and as he disappeared
around the corner of the house she
turned to us with charming courtesy.
"Don't you think you'd better come
in until we find out what this Is all
about? If there's any escaped crimi
nal in the nelghbodhood, you ought to
know about it."
"Of course, we'll come in,” I an
swered promptly, for I realized that
every second she spent with us was
delaying her own task. "But you
mustn't let us be in the way."
“I won't,” she said, smiling, as she
turned and leisurely led the way Into
her bright, cheery kitchen, with its
shelf of blossoming geraniums and
begonias. “If you just sit over on
those chairs In the corner for a few
minutes. I'll get things ready in a
jiffy."
She was measuring coffee into the
pot as she spoke, and when she had
added hot water, she put the pot on
the stove, pulled a frying pan over
and laid thin slices of bacon in it.
While the bacon sizzled appetizingly
she broke eggs into a big plate, then
replaced the bacon with the eggs, and
in the intervals of watching the pan,
set places for two at the end of the
table.
"Cut It Short. Jerry."
Katherine and I watched her, fas
cinated. She didn't make a quick or
flustered movement, but every one
counted, and by the time stalwart
Sam Ticer, red-faced and breathing
hard, reaching the kitchen door, a
bountiful meal of cold meat, bread,
bacon and eggs and steaming coffee
was In readiness for him.
Jerry rushed back Into the kitchen
at the same time, and father and son.
with muteered apologies to us, drew
their chairs to the table and proved
themselves valiant as well as swift
trenchermen. It wasn't five minutes
before big Sam Ticer pushed back his
chair and declared himself satisfied,
although Jerry still lingered over a
last tantalizing mouthful. ,
"Cut it short, Jerry,” his paternal
ancestor commanded. "This ain't no
chuych sociable we’re on."
“Let the boy alone, Sam," Mrs.
Ticer interrupted with placid author
ity. ‘’You've got two minutes yet, and
you aren't going a step out of this
house, either of you, until you tell
me what's up."
Sam Ticer bridled for an Instant
like an Insulted turkey gobbler, while
his wife quietly waited for him to
speak. Then, with the resignation to
the inevitable which well trained hus
bands have, he told us what he knew,
while Mrs. Ticer quietly and efficient
ly brought out coats and caps and
mufflers for her men folk.
DIsquMfag New*.
“It* * bootlegging murder, I
gue**.” Sam said importantly. “The
fellow hain't dead yet, but he'a over
at the hoapital. and they don't think
he'll pull through. They waa two fel
low* on the trurk over at Bridge
hampton, and I guess they got to
quarreling Anyhow, this morning,
the cops found the truck rammed
Into a tree, smelling like 40 saloons
rolled Into one, while one of the fel
lers lay on the ground nearby with
about 20 knife wound* Into him. They
picked him up and took him to the
hospital, ahd started to look for the
other man."
"Were they anybody from around
here? ' Mrs. Ticer asked.
‘ No. they were foreigner* living
over Amagansett way. One of 'em
has a good boat down there, and I
guess they've been doing a preity
stllT business. I s'pose one of 'em
thought the other was doing him, so
he knifed him. The cops think h»
made for some of his relatives—all
that tribe are related down through
here—so they're going over every
thing yvith a fine tooih comb. You'd
hotter lock up and go over to Mis'
Graham's till we come hack."
“I'll lake care of things." Mrs
Ticer promised, noncommlttlng, and
with that assurance her husband and
son hurried out of the door.
“Can't we lake you back with us?"
1 asked anxiously.
■\Vlth this disquieting news, I was
frantic to get bark to my home, but
1 couldn’t leave Mrs. Ticer alone In
the face of her husband's warning.
I think she saw my anxiety, for she
suddenly smiled comprehendlngly.
“Don't you worry about anything
Sam says.” she remarked, as she
cleared the food from the table. “Jle's
the beatlnest man for making a moun
tain out of a molehill I ever saw in
my life. Rut I know you're anxious
to get back home, so I'll Just lock
up and come with you. May Junior
have a cookie?”
"He wouldn’t think the day was
complete without one," I returned,
trying to match her lightness, but
the minutes seemed endless until we
were back at the farmhouse.

Peter Misses an Old Friend.
Peter Rabbit was scampering, lip
perty-llpperty-llp, across the Green
Meadows on his way home to the
dear Old Briar Patch. Happening to
look down he saw just in front of
him a little path through the grass.
It was a very tiny path, but it was a
path just the same. Peter knew at
once who had made that little path.
He had seen little paths like that
many, many times. Danny Meadow
Mouse had made them, and he had
made this one. Now, Peter wouldn't
have given It a second thought had
it not been that the sight of that
little path reminded him of Danny.
"I declare!" exclaimed Peter. "I
haven't seen Danny Meadow Mouse
for a long, long time. There have
been so many friends to call on and
so much to see that I haven't thought
of Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse.
I wonder what has become of them!
I suppose they are around here some
where. Probably, like everybody else,
they have beeni busy bringing up a
family. I guess I'll look around for
them and see how they are getting
along.”
So Peter began looking around in
places where he had been in the
habit of meeting Danny Meadow
"I Herlarr:" exclaimed Peler, “I
haven't seen Danny Meadow
Mouse for a long,
long time."
Mouse, but he didn't find Danny. Tn
fact, he didn't find any signs of
Danny excepting many little paths
through the grass, and all these
paths were old. There was no sigrr
that Danny and Nanny Meadow
Mouse had used them lately.
"This Is queer," said Peter with a
puxsled look on his face as he
stopped to scratch a long ear with
s long hind foot. "This is queer. I've
never known the time when I couldn't
find Denny Meadow Mouse if I looked
for him. Gracious. I do hope he
hasn t been caught by Reddy Fox.
or Old Man Coyote, or Hooty the
Owl, or Redtail the Hawk, or ttlack
Puisy the Gat: That would he dread

So Peter followed the little path
as best he could. It twisted and
turned, and several times Peter lost

found it again Finally he came to •
little hollow In the ground and till

The Story of an
Ironing Machine
Have you often wondered how the laundry
is able to iron all your flat work so
smoothly and nicely?
The fiat work ironer consists of a series
of revolving, softly padded rolls which
gently press your sheets, table cloths, nap
kina. etc., against a smooth steam ironing
surface.
First, four girls shake out the wrinkles:
then four girls carefully place one end of
the sheet on/s carrier which carries it to
the rolls, and as it passes through the
ironer, it Is given that dainty, showy sheen
which every woman prizes.
At the other end of the machine thref
girls receive thi sheet or table cloth, fold
it evenly, and place it in a. neat pile When
all of your flat pieres have been ironed,
they are turned over to another woman
who carefully wraps them in a package
with the rest of your washing, ready for
delivery to you.

I little home of grass. He thumped
; louder. Still no one came out. Then
j Peter became aware that the home
had a des*!rted look. Somehow It
looked as if it had not been used for
some time. Certainly there was no
one in it now. There were several
little paths leading to It. and in some
of these grass was beginning to grow.
"Oh dear!" exclaimed Peter. "Un

Civil Marriages on
Wane, Records Show
Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee
Grand Island, Neb., July 8—Art
interesting study ha* been made of
marriage records In Hail count n
from the present day back to the
first records available.
Hall county was colonized in 1*57
by 25 men and women from Daven
port, la. The first record availahle
is of 1860, during which year there
was one wedding. One wedding was
performed in 1881. Then the num
ber began slowly^to grow.
The first marriage ceremony per
formed by the minister was in 188!',
when Rev, David Marquett officiated.
The total of marriage* run* to 10.795.
of which 4.729 have been perfortnt 1
by civil officers and 5.759 by clergy
men. The study shows distinctly that
the tendency has been away from
civil marriages and toward the cleri
