He Is wanted by the Wichita, Kan., police for highway robbery, and also Is wanted in Canon City,' Colo., where he is said to have escaped from the state prison.

Smith lived at 218 Fuller avenue, Coun cil Bluffs. He Is survived by a wife and three children. Descriptions Scatter Everywhere. Hauser's picture and physical measure ments has been scattered broadcast about the face of the country. Every police, chief and every sheriff, in fact, every peace officer in the country was aware of the hideous crimes charged up to Arthur Hauser. and their attention was riveted all the more solidly by the fact that across the top of the glaring . police circulars was the banner line: Ten thousand dollars reward!" The $10,000 reward attracted professional and amateur detectives all over, and especially In this part of the country or near the cities where crimes accredited to Hauser had been perpetrated. Of course, though there is a price of 110,000 on Hauser's head. It will never be paid, that Is. not entirely. Omaha May Yet Get Hlsa First. Omaha, for Instance, offers SfiO for his arrest and return to Omaha, and con viction. The other cities, where he Is wanted worded their reward offers the same way.

Nebraska May Have A Saloon Inspector (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Nov. 7. -(Special.) Who would like to be official saloon inspector for Nebraska? Just at the present time the pure food department of the stats is allowing its inspectors to Inspect drink emporiums when, in their Judgment, the places need looking after. While this is a democratic administration and most of the Inspectors are democrats, but three saloons have been Inspected during the last month. At least the reports of the inspectors show but three, so It Is rea sonable to suppose that the inspectors sre of the grape Juice brand of democ racy. Whether Commissioner Harinan will put on. an official inspector peculiarly constituted so he can tell whether the foot rail is of ths proper height and the plate glass mirror in the rear kept bright, while the foam in the beer glasses ex ceeds the amount of the real beverage and shows the proper per cent of ingredi ents Is not known, but ss soon as It Is known that the department has taken up this Important study of wet emporiums it is expected that there will be many applicants. in v fii itii v !

The emperor and the Imperial shrine were silently worshiped by his subjects. The cortege was regarded as a sacred, mystic and religious procession.

Points Made by Lansing in His Note of Protest to England WASHINGTON. Nov. 7. Points made by the United 8tates In Its note to Great Britain covering British Interference with American trade are sumiuarlxed In numbered paragraphs as follows: 1. The statistics presented by Great Britain to prove an increase rather than a decrease in American trade "fail to take into account (he increased price of commodities re sulting from a state of war or to make any allowances for the dlmuta tlon in the volume of trade which the neutral countries In. Europe previously had with the nations at war." Petslaed on Rnapleloa. 2. Detentions by Great Britain have not been "uniformly based on proofs obtained at the time of seizure, but many vessels have been detained while search was made for evidence." The question has been one of "evidence to support the be lief of in many cases a bare sus picion of enemy destination, or oc casionally of enemy origin of the goods Involved." S. Attention Is directed with re gard to search of neutral vessels at 900 IRISHMEN HOT ALLOWED TO SAIL Band of Emigrants Refused Passage at Liverpool After Being Mobbed by Crowds.

KITCHENER GOES TO EAjjT FRONT Government Declares Rumor Secre tary Has Resigned or Contem plated Doing So to Be Baseless. PLANT OF GLOBE IS SEIZED LONDON, Nov. 7. "Lord Kitch ener, at the request of his colleagues, has left England for a .short visit to the eastern theater of war," This announcement, made this eve ning after a cabinet council an un usual meeting for Saturday had a long audience which Premier Asqutth had with the king, set at rest rumors current as to the war secretary's present Intentions. ' . Later an additional official statement was Issued, as foMows: "The statement that Karl Kitchener has resigned his post aa secretary of stats for war has already been authoritatively denied. It Is equally untrue to suggest that Karl ; Kitchener has tendered his resignation, or that his s-lslt to the king had any relation to that Subject or that hla visit to the eastern theater of war In any way betokens that such resigna tion Is contemplated. ' Will Not Give tp Tost. S "On the contrary, this visit Is under taken by him In discharge of his duty as secretary of state for war, which duty he has no Intention of abandoning." Almost simultaneously with the an nouncement of Lord Kitchener's proposed visit to ths east, ths authorities seised ths printing plant of the London Globe, together with ths Issues of yesterday and today. This Is ths first' action of the kind taken by the authorities since the outbreak of the war against a dally paper In the United Kingdom. Some weekly papers, both in England and In Ireland, including the Labor Leader, were simi larly treated some time ' ago, but the Labor Leader after a secret trial of the case was allowed to resume publication. The Globe, while one of the oldest papers published In ths country and long considered a staid and conservative or gan, has latterly lost that character and has been chiefly noted for Its violent sttacks on public men during the ad ministration of the liberal government. Government's BKter foe. It has been one of the government's bitterest opponents and has, since the war, attacked virtually all of the mem bers of the government. On Frtdsy It bitterly attacked Sir Frederick E. Smith, ths new attorney general, whom It had heretofore supported and who ths eve ning before had defended Premier Asqulth sgalnst what he described "discreditable personal attacks." The Olobe also published a report of the resignation of Lord Kitchener, this being baaed chiefly on the fact that ths war secretary had been received in audi ence by the king Thursday night and a brief announcement In a morning paper that a change of the utmost Importance was about to take place In the conduct of the war. The Globe Is edited by Charles Palmer, for many years Its parliamentary re porter. The Globe Is controlled by Cecil Harms worth, brother of Lord Northcllffe. Mr. Harmsworth's brother. Lord Northcllffe, has been one of the severest critics of the war oflce, through hjs newspapers, the Times and the Mall. The announcement that Lord Kitchener Is to visit ths east did not come as a surprise. It was generally believed when It became known that he was shout to undertake a mission that the Kalkans would be his destination, for there Is no man in the British empire better equipped with a knowledge of near eastern affairs, military and political, than he. It la thought that his activities will not be confined to this theater of the war, however, but that ho will vUlt Egypt to inspect the defenses of the Sues canal against a possible German or Turkish attack; Mesopotamia where the British expedition is doing bigger things than was expected of It and la now nearing Bagdad, and the Dardanelles, where steps are being taken to push the operations to a conclusion. Besides this. It Is undestood that his duties will Include efforts to co-ordinate the work of the general staffs ot th allied armies. . . Tho police officers, who seised the Globs newspaper, made a thorough Job of it. They cut off the electric, power, removed the sterotype plates withdrew the vital parts of th llnotyp"'inachlnes and presses snd seised all copies of yesterday's and today's papers, and even the manuscript, which bad been prepared.

The United States, In its latest note to Great Britain, made public here to day, covering ethaustlvely British Interference with American trade since the beginning of the European war, declares that the so-ailed blockade instituted - by the allies agalnet enemy countries on March 11.

Notice Is served that the American government "cannot submit to the curtailment of Its seu trat rights," and it cannot "with complacency suffer further sub ordination of its rights and Inter ests." Ambassador Fsge to whom the note was sent by special messenger for delivery to the London foreign office was Instructed by Secretary Lansing "to Impress most earnestly" upon the British government that the United States "must Insist that the relations between It and his majesty's government be governed tot by si policy of expediency, but by those established rules of International conduct to which Great Britain In the past ' has held the United States to account when the latter nation was a belligerent engaged lu a struggle for national existence."
