and Business Successful
ly Mixed; Dance Closes
Program.
"And If ye be looking for a swate
heart in the spring and anlther in
the fall—." Miss Clairs McDermott
Friday night kept 300 West Side Boost
ers in a continuous uproar with her
rendition of national dialogues. Mor
ton park pavilion, Forty-flrBt and W
streets, was filled past ordinary ca
pacity by a crowd of youthful merry
makers. Many watcned the proceed
ings from vantage points outside the
windows, whlie a group composed
largely of local talent ran off a
snappy and entertaining program.
Most of those present were young
er folk, biding their time while they
waited expectantly, though not im
patiently for the dance which they
knew was to wind up the evening in
a “blaze of glory." Generous ap
plause followed the piano solo of Allen
Davis, who opened the program. Bob
bie Davis played a violin solo.
Numerous encores were in store
for an appreciative audience. Miss
Claire McDermott gave a reading, and
Miss Mildred Munson played a steel
guitar solo. Miss Blanche Freeman
entertained with selections on a vio
lin. She was followed in turn by
Miss McDermott, who was called out
for a special number. Charles Blan
kenship wrote finis to the program
with a piano solo.

Rosse's Troubadours tuned In to the
delight of the Boosters, and showed
why they have announced “The Jolly

ments In the vicinity of South Oma
ha. Then followed a short business
was decided that the original
West Side Boosters should give way
to a South Omaha community cen
ter, which will follow out the activi
ties of the Boosters. The question
of civic Improvements came in for
short discusison. It was announced
that Commissioners Koutsky and
Hopkins will address the center at
a special mass meeting to be held
at Morton park pavilion Thursday,
November 22, to consider civic prob
lems.
Six members of a “board of con-'
trol” for the new community center |
were elected. It was decided that
Dr. W. J. Leary, Benjbmln Mundt,
W. J. Reese. Miss Earl Graham. Mrs.
Robert Girthoffer, and Mrs. Edward
Petersen should constitute the realm
of “higher-ups.” The old officers of j

in charge of discussions and other ac- j
tivities of the chairman. Including |
the duties of official announcer.

Monument Dedication Commemorates
Signing of Bill Creating Union Pacific
— 1
i|r*
Miss Marjorie Hudson Flaring Wreath at Base of Monument.
Commemorating the 60th anniver
sary of the signing by President Lin
coln of the bill which created the
Union Pacific railroad, the famous
Lincoln monument In Council Bluffs
was formally decorated by the D. A.
U. yesterday.
The monument, which marks the
spot “where the west began,” was
erected by the D. A. It. in 1911 during
th regency of Mrs. Donald Macrea,
jr., who personally raised over half
of the funds for the striking granite
shaft. Mrs. Macrae herself was in
charge of the short ceremr ny during
which the monument's base was
wreathed with flowers.
Miss Marjorie Hadron was chosen
to represent the Union Pacific and
brought a huge wreath, which she
presented to the D. A. R. committee
on behalf or the railroad system. It
was received by Mrs. Macrea, togeth
er with Mrs. Kd.vard P. Sehnentgen,
past vice president of the national D.
A. R.; Mrs. Frank Pinney, corre
apon iing secretary; Mrs. Matthew A.
Tinley, past regent; Mrs. C. G. Saun
ters, regent, und Mrs. W. A. Maurer,
past regent.
Following the ceremony at the mon
ument, the D. A. R. officers went to
Gen. Grenville M. Dodge's grave In
Fairview cemetery and placed a
wreuth there in honor of the work
that he did in pushing the steel road
way across the then ‘‘Great American
Desert" to the waters of the Pacific
ocean.
President Lincoln visited Council
BlulTs, as the Inscription on the
memorial testifies, on August 19,
1863. but because his visit dealt with
the greater work of establishing com
munication with the far west, the
■ that this work was created, No
vember 17, 1863, was commemorated
instead of the anniversary of the
great emancipator's visit.
dal meeting next Thursday evening.
The expected dance wound up the
evening's recreation. Ed Itosse’s new
ly christened “Jolly Six" furnished
the syncopation and chimed in with
vocal selections.

Walton Quits
“Unfair Trial”
I m p e a c h m ent Proceedings
Break Up in Tumult—Gov
ernor Stalks Out.
Oklahoma City, Okl., Nov. 17.—The
Impeachment trial of Governor J. C.
Walton broke up In a tumult today
after the executive, declaring that he
was not receiving a fair trial, stalked
from the courtroom with his counsel
and precipitated a clash between I.
T. Sprague, a member of his legal
staff and Tom Anglin, president of the
senate.
The governor and Mrs. Walton and
each member of his legal staff walked
silently from the senate chamber and
left the astounded senate court mem
bers and house prosecutors staring
at an empty row of chairs, all that
remained of the defense In the Im
peachment trial of Governor J. C.
Walton.
House managers summoned nnother
witness and proceeded with the trial.
The governor’s action came after
the senate court by a roll call of 23 to
13 had declared that Article 17, charg
ing Issuance of a large number of
special police commissions was a mat
ter of law and that all previous test!
mony on that subject be expunged
from the records.
Claud Nowlin, defense attorney,
took exception to the vote and de
dared the governor was being denied
’’equal protection of the law," guar
anteed by the state and national con
stitution.
Governor Walton then took the
floor and made a brief statement to
the court.
The official* record of Governor
Walton’s statement follows:
"Mr. Chief Justice and Members of
this Court: I have been sitting
here fighting for my honor, for
my rights and for my home for
10 days. I« don’t wish here to
criticize any of these honorable mem
bers. some of them no doubt want to
have a’ fair trial, but I have peached
the conclusion that I can not have a
fair trial in this court. Knowing that,
I am withdrawing from this room. I
don’t care to stand this humiliation
any longer for myself, my family or
my honorable attorney. You may pro
ceed as you see best."

Paris Ready to
Trim Demands
Strong Efforts Being Made to
Preserve Franeo-British
Alliance.
By Associated Crew.
Pari*, Nov. 17.—The final effort to
save the entente from dislocation will
probably be put over until Monday,
as the British cabinet, seemingly Is
not ready to give the final word to
Lord Crewe the British ambassador
here as to Its position on the applica
tion of further penalties upon Ger
many.
Efforts made to prevent a break
are regarded In political circles
here as futile, the French and British
governments being too far apart it
is thought to make an agreement
possible.
London, Nov. 17.—Strong efforts
are being made over the week end on
both sides of the channel to preserve
the integrity of the Franco-Bntlsh
alliance. There were Indications at
the foreign office today that France
was changing Its attitude as to some
of Its threatened penalties against
Germany in the event of failure to
give up the ex-crown prince and per
mit the Interallied military control to
resume Its Interrupted Investigation
of German armaments.
It appeared this noon that the meet
Ing of the allied council of ambassa
dor* set for today would probably go
over until Monday, although the
French had been Insisting on the
earliest possible settlement of the
question of obtaining resumption of
allies military control In Germany
All the allied ambassadors excepting
the British, and Ambassador Herrick,
who attends the meeting for hia gov
ernment, were holding themselves In
readiness for a call, but It was under
stood the British ambassador had
not received final Instructions and
that Lord Crewe probably would
absent himself if a meeting were
called.
It was regarded as Improbable that
Premier Poincare would call a meet
ing today, should the British am
bassador be unable to participate, al
though the premier is extremely
anxious to have the situation cleared
up at the earliest possible moment.
Premier Poincare is ready to make
any concession to the London de
mande respecting the ex-crown prince,
It was declared in official circles, and
the hope was expressed in quarters
near the premier that a compromise
might be reached. The prospects of
saving the entente were regarded as
slight in political circles, however,
where M. Poincare's optimism was
not shared because it was felt he
would remain firm In demanding ac
tion to obtain protection for the allied
military control mission in Germany.
The break. If it occurs, Is expected
to be on this point.
