Today
Time to Fight.
Bootlegging and Killing.
Bats That Swim.
We Like to Be Tired.
^ By ARTHUR BRISBANE^
An English news agency says
the government has information
that Germany is secretly arming
for another war. The government
does not deny it.
To outsiders the surprising
thing is Germany’s slowness. When
the choice is between starvation,
plus slavery, and fighting, it is a
poor kind of a man or nation that
won’t fight.
If the most powerful Germans,
great industrialists, had put more
thought on their country, and less
on accumulating all the gold in
right, piling up millions on the
slump of the mark, paying their
workmen with money worth
nothing, selling for good money
abroad, they might have their
country in a better shape today.
With all due modesty, it may be
-aid that if a country half the size
of the United States and right
across the border, were doing to
the United States what France is
doing to Germany, the United
States would find some way of
evening matters up.
Mr. Diamond, accused of hiring
dope fiend gunmen to kill two
bank messengers carrying $43,000,
is genuinely surprised at his ar
rest. He says he and his brother
stole an occasional automobile, but
it was to “run in whisky from
Canada,” not to “stick up” and
shoot bank messengers.
After cogitation, he concludes,
“The police were hounded by the
newspapers so much that they had
to bring in somebody, so they got
sie."
Here you see the effect of boot
legging on the untrained mind.
This young man, engaged in boot
legging throughout the country,
had been able to arrange matters
easily with the police and other
officials, giving them a part of the
profits just as he had arranged
to give part of the murder profits
to the hired gunmen. He was
really puzzled when public offi
cials, sometimes willing to divide
with professional bootleggers,
Iraw the line at professional kill
ers.
It is not possible to exaggerate
the evil effects that both boot
legging, with its violence, corrup
tion, grafting by public officials, is
raving upon half-formed minds
hat naturally lean toward crime.
Interesting things are found In
i cave at Assam. Dr. Stanley
Kemp of Calcutta tells about it.
It is always dark there. Strange
insects have no eyes. The walls
are covered with bats that are
able to swim in the water, “adapt
ing themselves to their environ
ment.” From first to last the cave
would surprise Mr. William J.
Bryan, who doesn’t believe in
■volution.
A young woman calls attention
to the fact that the great Aris
totle was first to recognize that
ri-us and whales are mammals, not
birds and fish. In that cave you
can see a mammalian bat that
?wims, nurses its young, dives and
swims in the water.
Sir Robert Armstrong Jonesf
great British authority on mental
diseases, is testing an “antifatigue
vaccine." Sir Robert believes it
will make men immune to fatigue,
»o the muscles won't get tired.
It is the brain that gets tired of
sending over the nerves the orders
that cause the muscles to act. The
muscle Itself never tires. That any
vaccine* an possibly give the brain
unlimited energy for stimulating
muscular activity, is too much like
‘perpetual motion,” to be believed.
Besides a vaccine ending fatigue
would be a curse. Men like to
work and then feel tired. They
know that they have worked. The
ploughman homeward plodding his
weary way likes to feel in his legs
the record of the acres that he has
ilowly covered.
We don’t want to be made into
automatic creatures, swallowing
little pills instead of food, working
without fatigue, as the ants and
other insects seem to do.

Radio Girl Is
Caught Hiding
Behind Trunk
College Graduate Freely Tells
of Descent From Life of
Co-Ed to Hunted
Criminal.
This Is the story of the three girl
criminals, their arrest, escape and the
subsequent recapture of one called
the "radio girl.”
When Blanch Gullickson, 23; Myra
McMullln, 22, and Lucille Slmmona,
22, escaped from the Rockwell City
(la.) woman's reformatory the night
of November 12, Omaha police were
notified
Saturday afternoon information
came that Miss Gullickson was work
ing as a maid In the home of E. A.
Meyer, 3337 Hickory. Thither hur
ried Detectives Palmtag and Gurnett.
Mr. Meyer answered their ring.
They made known their errand. Yes.
said Mr. Meyer, they had a new maid,
but he didn’t believe she was a crim
inal. They could come Into the
kitchen.
Just then the kitchen door slammed.
The detectives rushed back but
could see no sign of the maid, though
they ran around the neighboring
houses and made a thorough search.
Neighbor’s House Is Refuge.
Finally they departed, asking Mey
er to call headquarters If the girl re
turned. Scarcely were they back at
central station when Meyer called up.
He said the girl was hiding behind a
trunk in the attic of A. Weis, 3385
Hickory street, next door.
Palmtag and Ournett arrived there
quickly. In the attic they approached
the trunk with drawn revolvers.
They found the girl. But it was not
Miss OulUckson. It was Myra Mc
Mullln, another of the escaped trio.
Myra was serving one to seven
years for forgery. She had done only
seven months when she made her get
away.
At central station she talked with
the greatest freedom and cheerful
ness of the adventures of her young
life In the world of crime.
Touches of Refinement.
Myra Is no common criminal. She
Is well dressed and talks like the col
lege girl she claims to be. She Is
good-looking and has the little re
finements that mean much to a
woman of culture. How she descend
ed from the life of a coed to that of
a hunted criminal she related thus:
“I am the daughter of David Mc
Mullln of Wilbur, O., a real estate
man and high officer of the Ku Klux
Klan. After I graduated from col
lege In Westerville, O., I married. My
husband's name was Bradford. We
went to Houston. Tex., right after
our marriage. There I soon found
ho was not the man I thought. I left
him and went to Fort Worth, Tex.,
where I obtained funds to take me
to the home of my parents In Wil
bur, O.
Tale of Easy Money.
Kn route, while waiting between
(rains In St. Louis, I met a young
woman. She was richly dressed, She
fascinated me with a tale of easy
money in forging checks. We went
on to Chicago together and there she
Introduced me to a man who showed
me the forgery game.
"Since then I have forged checks,
I should say, totaling more than
$10,000, all over this country, from
the Atlantic to the Faclflc and from
the gulf to Canada.
"Great business for a girl of good
family and a graduate of university,
Isn't it?" she ended with an odd little
smile.
She was the organist at the Rock
well City reformatory, she said, and
generally selected the songs which the
girls sang at chapel service. On the
Saturday before she made her well
planned escape, she related she played
and the girls sang the refrain:
"We eha!l meet, but we ehall miae him:
"There will be one vacant chair . . .
Arrested by Radio.
Miss McMullIn was arrested origin
ally In Clinton, la., "by radio.” Her
description wag broadcast from Oma
ha by WOAW station. Th« descrip
tion was heard by a clerk In a Clin
ton store. He notified the sheriff,
who made the arrest.
She described their escape from the
reformatory. She and Lucille Sim
mons were chums In the reformatory,
she said, "because we were both col
lege girls, she being a former Qrlnnell
student.”
The three girls surreptitiously made
themselves costumes like those worn
by the Camp Fire Olrls. Slipping out
of the reformatory the night of No
vember 12, they hid In a.grove un
til the next morning when they board
ed a freight which took them as far as
Dunlap, la., whence they w'alked to
Dow City, the home of Lucille Sim
mons. From there they made their
way to Omaha, she said.
Miss McMullIn said she has friends
In high places. She ssked to tele
phone J. C. Williams, contractor.
Cleveland, O. She said he would get
her out on hall. Hut police thought
otherwise, since there Is no ball pro
vision for escaped prisoners.
Lucille Simmons Is In Quincy, Til.,
Miss McMullIn said. She doesn't know
the whereabouts of the other girl,

Diamond Case
Is “Too Hot” for
Omaha Sleuths
Detectiveg Remain Digcreetly
Mum on Great Diamond
Mygtery; “Fix” Put
in, They Say.
The “great diamond mystery" con
tinues to upset the whole police de
partment.
The reported midnight holdup of
one "William Hoffman," so-called Chi
cago diamond broker, by three bandits
at the entrance to the Uintah apart
ments, Park avenue and Leavenworth
street, last Sunday night; the also re
ported theft of $20,000 of gems from
him; the once again also reported re
turn of a package containing the
gems to Detective Bennie Danbaum
at the Hill hotel last Tuesday by an
other mysterious and unidentified
man; the supposed receipt signed by
"Hoffman" for the gems.
Gosh, ft's so full of mystery that It
■ticks out on the edges.
Nobody Talks Out Loud.
Detectives at central police station
are afraid of the case. They go about
the station on their rubber heels and
talk In whispers In corners.
Four of them started out to In
vestigate it Independently. They de
clared last night that they called
themselves off.
"It’s too hot,” they said very, very
confidentially to reporters for The
Omaha Bee, and added, also confident
ially, that they wouldn't touch It any
more, because they want to keep their
jobs.
There's been some "fixing," It is
whispered. The whole thing has
been dropped like a hot potato.
Wliat About the Kobbers?
"Are you looking for the three rob
hers?" a reporter asked Chief of De
tectlves Van Deusen.
"Are you looking for them?" he
countered brightly.
"No, and I don't believe there were
any robbers," came back the bright
young newspaper man.
Whe-reat the chief of detectives
laughed hollowly, and then he, too,
assumed the attitude of the proverbial
clam.
Mr. Ilanbauni Glowers.
Detective Danbaum, to whom the
$20,000 worth of gerfts was returned
so mysteriously at hi* hotel, was
asked whether he had made any pro
gress In solving the mystery.
"I won’t talk about It. I don't want
to talk about it. I don't want to
hear about It any more.’’ he shouted
loudly, and glowered ferociously at
his questioner.
"Is any reward being offered for
those three robber* that are supposed
to hnve taken the $20,000 worth of
diamonds?” the reporter asked two

The detectiye* looked at him.
seemed to turn pale, und gumshoed
swiftly out of the room, looking back
In apparent terror.
“Where Is this man "Hoffman?”
Have you heard any—" was Hsked of
another detective who was standing
alone. But before the sentence was
finished the detective blanched and
held up a wenk hand as though try
ing to ward off some 'errlble blow.
It’s Terribly .Mysterious.
“Hoffman," the suiprlslngly hon
est thief who brought back the dia
monds, the diamond* themselvee and
all the rest are cloaked, as pointed
out above In a shroud of mystery.
Mention of them to any of the
detectives last night was like men
tlonlng liquor to Volstead or ths
league of nations to Hiram Johnnnn.
It wns reported that the mere
shouting of the name "Hoffman!” In
a loud voice caused seven detective*
to plunge through the door In an at
tempt to get out. None wns Injured
according to this story, which may
not be entirely true.
Mrs. O. M. McOreer, who, with her
daughter, Mias Ann Gillespie, said
she was with 'Hoffman" when he
wns held up, declared Inst night that
It was. Indeed, a man nnnied Hoff
man who was held up.
"It waa Mr. Hoffman, an old
friend of ours. It waa not William
Heilenfrennd of Lincoln,” she said.
"Mr. Hoffman." she repeated, "live*
In Chicago,"

Hoffman at the fight ringside and

Yeoman Hearing
to Be This Week
President of Society Denies
Fraud Alleged by Insur

Des Moines, la.. Dec. 2.—District
Judge I.ester L. Thompson will set
a date early this week for hearing
a petition of six Insurance policy
holders of the Brotherhood of Ameri
can Yeomen for a restraining injunc
tion against the officers and board
of directors of the society, prevent
ing them from raising the rales on
fraternal policies or from depriving
any members of the society of polic

The petition was filed yesterday.
In a formal statement issued today
George N. Frink, president of the
brotherhood, denied all the allega
tions In the petition, and called at
tention to a recent report of the in
surance commissioners of Iowa, Kan
sas, Missouri, Illinois, Texas, and
Pennsylvania, which followed an ex
amination by them of the brother
hood's accounts and business affairs.
Mr. Frink declared: "No business
has closer or more thorough state
supervision than life Insurance. The
state of Iowa Is most careful In Its
supervision and It would be Impos
sible fo> any society or company In
corporated under the laws of Iowa to
be guilty as claimed In the petition."
The claim of the petitioners that
the board had exercised "fraud and
deception" In it* project for a chil

denied as "without the slightest
foundation," by Mr. Frink who de

National Operation
of Shoals Possible
If Congress Provides for Gov
ernment Production of
Power Coolidge Will
Sign Bill.
Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee.
Washington, Dec. 2.—If the two
branches of congress pass a bill pro
viding for government operation of
Muscle Shoals It Is known that Presi
dent Coolidge has Indicated he will
sign the bill.
The Idea of government operation
of thla much advertised property Is
becoming more popular dally, In the
minds of members of congress.
How successful the venture will be
Is problematical. Yet It Is felt that
if Henry Ford were willing to gamble
on the proposition the government
might as well do the same thing.
The president has Indicated In news
paper conferences that In his study of
farm priJNcms ha has coma to ths
conclusion that cheap fertilizer, such
as is promised In the Muscle Shoals
project. Is essential.
In aome quarter* It la estimated
that government handling of the
Muscle Shoals project would. In Its
infancy, cause a loss of from $25,000,
000 to $50,000,000 annually. However,
It Is felt as the operation continued
thla loss w-ould decrease gradually
until It would become a paying prop
erty.
The strong sentiment In certain
circles against government participa
tion In handling of businesses which
could be privately owned and oper
ated by private capital la one of the
barriers to this plan. It 1* proposed
now to overcome this objection ty
providing that at any time private
capital could handle the project, pro
viding an agreement were reached
whereby the farmer would be guaran
teed a certain price for fertilizer and
the government would be reimbursed
In full for Its Investment and Its loss
on the Investment.

Stella Dallas
by Olive Higgin Prouty
The story of a marriage
between a man of educa
tion and breeding and a
woman untutored in the
fine points of good taste,
crude and intellectually
undiscerning, but gener
ous at heart. * Can such a
marriage succeed? What
is its effect not only upon
Stephen and Stella Dal
las, but upon their
strange, beautiful child,
Laurel?
There is a Stella Dallas
in every community. She
is a part of every city,
town and village where
there is a Main street and
social barriers. How
often are these women
misjudged? How many
are wrongly condemned?
