This sort of driving has become more prevalent In Omaha during the last fen’ months, and for many weeks the conscientious traffic of ficers who work for nothing hut the glory have been wondering whether to interfere. A few of the bolder volunteer of fleers have essayed to put a stop to what they t«jrm "petting driving,” but they have found It difficult. Young nu n who ordinarily would he reason able are different when their girls are along. They repel efforts of the officers with fists clenched and much auger. But now the officers have a new method of approach. "Voting man,” they have been taught to say to the offending Uothairo. "Young man, this Isn't right. You aren't doing justice to either job. You can't drive well with one arm, and you can't embrace well either. It ain't fair, or words to that effect. It's unfair, in fact. Unfair to innocent and long-suffering pedes trians, and also to the young woman. Give her both arms nr nothing, young man. Don't do things half way. Drive with both arms and pet with both arms."

Philadelphia, Sept. 25.—Proposals for government ownership of rail roads and other public utilities were denounced here tonight by President Coolidge as “uneconomic” and “en croachment s upon our rights.” Speaking at exercises commemorav ing the 150th anniversary of the meeting of first continental con gress. Mr. Coolige also renewed bis assault on suggestions to limit the power of the supreme court and urge that the people resist encroach ment upon their rights and liberties guaranteed by the constitution. “if we wish to maintain what our fathers here established.” he declared, "we shall do well to leave the pen pie in the ownership of their prop erty, in control of their government and under the protection of their courts. It Is diffh tilt, tHe president said referring to government ownership of railroads “to reconcile the American ideal of a sovereign people capable of owning and managing their own government with an inability to own and manage their own business ' Ownership Means Tax Hike. Furthermore he declared it would mean a loan in public revenue esti mated at $600,000,000 a year with a resultant increase in the tax on farm ers of from 3 to 40 per cent. Mr. Coolidge devoted most of his address to a discussion of early his tory of this country and the birth of the constitution after the organisa tion of the first continental congress. Referring to the deliberation of this congress the president asserted that, ”if we could better understand what they said and did to establish our free institutions, we should be less likelv to be misled by the misrepresenta tions and distorted arguments of the hour, and bo far better equipped to maintain them.” He drew a lesson from the declara tions of the congress as showing the superiority of moderation and can dor aver violence and deceit in seek ing a solution of difficult public ques tions.” People Must Control. The constitution. Mr. Coolidge point ed out. ’’is a device for maintaining in perpetuity the rights of the people, with the ultimate extinction of all privileged classes.” “I have mentioned the desirability.” he continued, "for the people to keep control of their own government and their own property, l*»cau*e I l>elie\e thnt is one of the American ide »le of public, welfare in harmony with the efforts of the first continental con gresn.

Guilty Plea Expected It> f nivrr»Hl >errlrf. Chicago, Sept. 23.—Peter Vergolini, a steel plant worker, confessed today that he had kidnaped and killed little Anna Tomriscich, 10. three days ago. Vergolini t> » the child In his car and drove to the sand dunes where he choked her to death and buried the body in the sand. He was apprehended early today, confessed and tonight was rushed to Crown Point, Jnd,, where a grand jury is expected to Indict him for murder in the first degree. The details of the crime are like the details of scores of other similar crimes. Criminologists were not so much interested In the details as in the criminal. Vergolini stands out in bold contrast with Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, who killed little Robert pranks and were sentenced to life In the penitentiary. He stands out In bold contrast to the Rev. Law rence M. Hight and Mrs. Elsie Sweet in, who slew their mates at lna, III. Education Involved. When Leopold and I.ocb were in the spotlight as the arch criminals of the period, students of crime and criminals pointed out that these youths were college bred but had not received proper moral and religious training. That accounted for their crime. Clarence Harrow, the crim inal lawyer, used It as an argument In his plea for their Uvea. But the theory' that religion and moral training would stop crime was rudely upset when the Rev. Mr Hight made his confession. He was a minister—a teacher of religion and morals—yet he confessed he had poi soned his wife and had Induced Mrs Elsie Sweetin to poison her husband Love was the motive—love for Mrs. Sweetin. N'ow comes Peter Vergolini with his confession. Vergolini Is an ordinary laborer, a poor man. an uneducated man. But his crime, like that of Leopold and Loeb and that of Hight. had one distinct similarity—he didn't think he d ever be caught and '.f caught, he would deny it—nobody would ever make him tell. So thought Leopold and Loeb; so thought Hight and Mrs. Sweetin. Rut poor Vergo lini confessed just as had the others. Finally Tells Story . Vergolini was picked tip as a sus peet by the authorities last night, lb was questioned all night long, lie persistfd in his Innocence Then us dawn was breaking, with sleep hang Ing heavy on his eyes, he broke down and told It all. "I picked up Anna In front of her house Monday night." he said. "We drove to the Sand Dunes—I choked her. When she was dead I dug a hole in the sand and put her in face down. 1 didn't think she would ever be found." How like Leopold and Loeb' They hid little Robert Franks' body In a railroad culvert and "thought the body would never be found." And Hight poisoned his w.fe and bu her. and Mrs. Sweetin poisoned ho husband and thought the world would never know. And above ah. they would never tell. Rut like A or colinl, the uneducated laborer, they told Vergolini's crime was in Indiana, near Gary, just across the Illinois state line. At Crown Point, where the grand jury is hearing his ease, it was cxpeoVM h:s plea of guilt' would be before the court this wee» and his punishment f.xed at cither death or life In the penitentiary. 200 Iowa Baptists \ttend ('om ontion at Shenandoah Shenandoah. la .
