When Lady Luck smiled upon a
certain Omaha man in a poker game
one night last week he was duly
thankful. ITe cut his $22 winnings
In half and sent one-half to the Free
Shoo fund. You can see it in the list
above. And the fund hopes he will
be equally lucky and benevolent In
the future.
Seven little boys and 12 small girls
are on the waiting list of the fund,
hoping that soon there will be enough
money, so that they can have shoes
and be released from imprisonment
in their poor homos.
School teachers Investigate each
case thoroughly and if the family Is
destitute, the children are sent to the
school officer in the city hall, who
gives them an order for a pair of
shoes, which are fitted at the shoe
store and the bill Is paid from the
fund.
There Is a heavy call on the fund
now. If you possibly can help, send
in your check or cash to The Omaha
Lee. Checks may ,be made payable
to "Free Shoe Fund.”
The children will everlastingly he
under obligation to you. Do It now.

Mildred Harris’
Father Is Slain
Dies After Fight in Chicago
With Taxicah Driver—
Slayer Escapes.
By International New* Service.
Chicago, Jan. 26.—David Barnoslijr,
30, n taxicab driver, was taken into
< ustody today in connection with the
dentil of Henry It. Harris, father of
Mildred Harris, motion picture star
and divorced wife of Charles Chaplin,
Ry International New. Service.

Harris, motion picture star and di
vorced wife of Charles Chaplin.

pital after a fight last night with a

with which Harris was connected.

by Zcv and other horses of Sinclair's
stable during the year.
Wahlberg's purpose In correcting
this testimony is not dear to the
committee because he said he had car
ried out his threat to resign and is
no longer in Sinclair’s employ.
The committee is not altogether sat
isfied that Wahlberg’s new’ testimony
affords a complete explanation of his
statement to Roosevelt about the $68,
000. For In his talk with Roosevelt
the reference was to “cancelled'1
checks supposed to have come from
Fall’s foreman, whereas the Hildreth
checks had just been drawn and were
not yet cashed nor cancelled.
Wahlberg was sharply grilled by
Senator Walsh on this point, calling
attention to the discrepancies in his
testimony.
Archie Roosevelt was also before
the committee for re-examination and
amplified his previous statement
"$68,000 In cancelled checks to Fall's
foreman” was mentioned.
Edward L. Doheny sent to the com
mittee a revised offer for the sur
render of his lease on naval reserve
No. 1 which provided merely for re
imbursement to the Pan-American
Transport company for the amounts
expended on the Pearl Harbor storage
facilities, this sum to be ascertained
by a government audit.
Doheny’* offer to return the leases
to the Elk Hills property in reserve^
No, 1 in California was presented to
the committee by Attorney McNab at
the opening of the session. McNab
read a prepared statement setting
forth the amount expended on the
Pearl Harbor storage tanks for which
he asked to l>e reimbursed upon sur
render e»f the lease.
The committee heard the statement
without comment.
By Associated Free*.
Washington, Jan. 26.—Resolutions
calling on President Coolldge to se
cure cancellation of the leases for the
Teapot home and California naval
oil reserves were introduced today by
Representative Garrett, the demo
cratic leader of the house.
The resolutions were referred to
the public lands committee. Repre
sentative Garrett said he had con
ferred with democratic members of
this committee, Senator Walsh, dem
ocrat, Montana, one of those active in
the senate investigation, and Senator
Caraway, democrat, Arkansas, who is
urging tile senate to take steps to
ward revocation of the Sinclair and
Doheny leases.
The resolutions would “authorize
and request” the president immediate
ly to institute legal proceedings look
ing to annulment of the leases, to en
join further extraction of oil from the
reserves and to “employ special coun
sel who shall have charge of the prose
cution of such litigation, anything in
the statutes touching the powers of
the attorney general or the Depart
ment o f Justice to the contrary not
withstanding.”
Indications were given today that
republican leaders in the house would
make no move toward blocking action
on cither of the resolution*.
