Hastings Man Says
Taft Much Abused
James N. Clarke of Hastings, president
of the Clarke-Buchanan Investment com
pany, has just contributed $100 to the
Taft campaign fund in this state. He
bas written to Secretary Amos Thomas
of the state committee saying that he
would like to have done more for the
cause had the demands locally for various
causes not been quite so heavy.
"I think of all men In politics," says
Mr. Clarke, "so far back as my memory
goes. President Taft has been subjected
to the most unjust and baseless abuse
and whether elected or not the day will
come when his traducers will have occa
sion to blush. Tf in the fasa of condi
tions as they are today, men who have
material as well as the moral Interests
of this country at heart, permit a change
to be made and a man who has done so
much for the country thus rebuked, and
a change does come, as it will similar in
its effect to those Incidents at the last
'Professor Wilson administration;' those
who are responsible for It will be getting
about what is coming to them and will
deserve and I think receive very little
sympathy.
"I honestly believe Taft will be elected.
Wilson will be no stronger than Bryan
was in 1308, and the close affiliation be
tween the two now will weaken Wilson
in the east. I figure he will have to get
about ninety votes more in the electoral
college than Bryan did and I don't be
lieve he can do it"

Woman Suffers Bad
Burns as Gasoline
Stove Catches Fire
Mrs, Jennie Parker, 1118 North Six
teenth street, was badly burned about
the hands, face and body yesterday after
noon at 4:30 o'clock by an explosion of
a gasoline stove and Is at the St. Joseph
hospital In a critical condition.
J. W. Shlrely, a boarder, sustained a
badly sprained ankle and wrist and nu
merous Injuries about the body, when
he and Mrs. Parker In attempting to get
away from the flames crawled out on
a sign from an upper story window and
were precipitated twenty feet to the side
walk. Mrs. Parker was cooking over the stove
when the gasoline, which had fallen In
the catoh pan became ignited. Soon the
entire store was ablaze and the curtains
caught fire. In attempting to push the
stove out of the room into the hallway
and down the sUilrs the flames set fire
to her clothing and In an Instant she was
enveloped in a mass of flames.
Attracted by her screams Shlrely rushed
of the burning clothing. He did not suc
ceed in extinguishing the fire until she
was badly burned. In his efforts he was
burned about the hands and face.
Unable to get down the stairs, which
were on fire and blocked from leaving
the burning building by the fire in the
kitchen Mrs. Parker and Shlrely became
excited and crawled out on a restaurant
sign which hung on a level with a front
room window. The sign was old and the
wire which held it in place was weak.
When Shlrely followed Mrs. Parker out
onto the sign It gave way under their
weight and both fell heavily to the side
walk. In additon to her burns Mrs.
Parker received a badly sprained back.
She was taken to the St. Joseph hos
pital. Her condition last night was very
serious and the hospital attaches are
doubtful of her recovery.

By MELUFICIA. Friday, Oct. 18, 1912.
AS I SAT in the Auditorium listening to the wonderful music of the
opera, "The Secret of Suzanne," I wondered how many of the
women in the audience had the same secret, "she smoked cigar
ettes, but did not wish to have her husband know it for' fear he
would disapprove." I believe most of the young married women in society
who smoke do so with the full approval of their husbands, who smoke with
them, a la Susanna and her husband, the count. In the opera the husband
Is so delighted to find that the cigarette smoke which he has been smelling
is from his wife's cigarettes instead of from the cigarettes of a rival suitor
that everything 1b forgiven and they live happily ever after. Perhaps the
Omaha husbands feel that it is better to permit it than to have their wives
smoking secretly.
Smoking as a fad has not been taken up generally by Omaha women,
but only by a few of the feminine travelers who have spent much time
abroad and have acquired the habit in other climes.

Usury of an unusual nature and fraud
to cover up the alleged sharp practices
of loan sharks are suggested In a bill of
complaint filed In district court yester
day by John Geiger against the Omaha
Chattel Loan bank and the Peoples Loan
company, and George Abbott and Charles
I. Rowe, respective proprietors of the
two concerns.
In March, 1910, Geiger was In need of
money and he borrowed S420 from the
Peoples company and Abbott, mortgaging
personal property. He sets forth In his
complaint that It was corruptly and un
lawfully agreed that he should pay back
the principal together with 40 per cent
interest, all of which amounted to $G29.
By tall of that year he became so
deeply Involved by borrowing money to
take care of the interest that he was
compelled to borrow from the Peoples
$106 in an endeavor to get square. Things
were getting worse and he kept on bor
rowing money to keep up the Interest,
which was raised on him in the mean
time to 45 per cent.
Finally he had paid In so much money
and was becoming so deeply involved
that the company by alleged bulldozing
and threats compelled him to deliver to
the Omaha Chattel Loan bank his notes
and then ha became more deeply In
volved. The operations of the loan sharks were
so complicated that Geiger lost track of
the amount of money paid In, but he
sets forth in his complaint that he Is sure
he has paid all that is coming to them.
In substance he asks the court to re
strain the Omaha company from selling
the alleged notes to a third party, and
that the court decree that he has paid
out all and more than is coming to the
sharks.
