To Prefer Charges Against Castleman and Coutts, Editors The Central Labor union ilclcsates learned last evening that they liail not been able to get rid of David CouUs and William Castleman, publishers of the Unionist, a labor paper, wh'.m they publicly censured for making charges of graft against the officers of the Central Labor body. At he meeting two weeks ago they passed a resolution asking the unions sending Coutts and Castleman as delegates to withdraw them. Last night a communication was brought before the body, in which the stonecutters refused to withdraw Coutts as a delegate. After a stormy debate, in which charges of railroad ing and gag rule were passed the or ganization decided that the only way in which they could rid themselves of the offending members was to offer them a trial before a committee of the organization and the secretary, John Polian, was directed to prefer charges against Coutts and Castle man, based on the articles which ap peared in the Unionist, charging graft m connection with the Labor day pro gram.

One of the illegiti mate sons oi t lie late King Milan of Serbia, known as the Christich brothers, who have been pretenders to the Serbian throne, is now a waiter in a dining car running between Vienna and Budapest, according to an alleged discovery of a newspaper man who formerly knew the ( hnstich brothers. When King Milan died he entrusted one of these boys, whose mother was til e beautiful Artemesia, to his lite long friend, Cuunt Eugen Zichy of Budapest. The latter for years treat ed him as an own son. supplied him plentifully with all material things; and then died without remembering him in his will or without making any provision for him. 1 bus falling sud denlv from comparative anluence to poverty, the man dropped out ot sight completely. His present discoverer. who was making a trip from Budapest to tenua. ;md who knew the Christ ich brothers in the old days when Count Zichy was alive, was surprised to find that the waiter wdlo served him so noiselessly and competently was no other than one ot the Lhnst ich bovs. The latter with some re luctance told him that he had tried to make a living in one of the state ministries, but had failed because he possessed no qualification; had tried the stage hut had been ruled off by the police because he had billed hint self as a prince; and finally had turned to waiting-on-table, because he knew of nothing else he could do efficiently The forciioimi is of interest particu larlv because of a story from Rome recently copied in this country to the effect that one of these illegitimate sons of the late Milan had been nroclaimed King of Serbia at Hel grade, by the Austrian and German authorities. The Vienna correspon ,l..nt annenrs to dij-nosc of that re port from Rome, for the other ofilie Christich brothers was recently' re ported by a London newspaper to be in London, employed as a ladies' tail or in a large department store at a nlarv of Jla a week.

King Milan was ruler of Serbia from 188.2 to W.

It is not known from the dispatches which of them is in London and which in Vienna, but it seems appar ent that neither of them have been proclaimed King oi Serbia by the oi cupying forces of Teutons at Bel grade.

Horse Rjwer From This Power MAXWELL ENGINE nil Almost 34 horse-power from this reg ular stock Maxwell engine! 34 actual, brake horse-power! ' Proved by an accurate dynamometer test, made in the Maxwell laboratories August 10, 1916. There has been a lot of talk about horse-power, and we just want to let Maxwell owners and prospective owners know that in respect to horse-power, as in most other respects, the Maxwell leads by a comfortable margin. Not that we attach such great importance to horse-power. We don't We never have. Horse-power abundant horse-power is only one of many superior features, of the Maxwell. We are selling motor cars complete motor cars not engines or horse-power. Horse-power is a matter that is second ary to motor efficiency and economy. A giant has no advantage if he does not apply, or wrongly applies, his strength. Maxwell cars have horse-power all you want or need probably more per pound of car weight than any other automobile in the world. But we don't make any loud cry about it. Because we have more than horse power to sell you. Because you are, and should be, inter ested in results, the net effectiveness of power. We challenge competitive tests. We invite comparison. Because we absolutely know that no" car of its class or weight can surpass the Maxwell on speedways, on rough roads, through sand or mud, anywhere. And because we know, and you will know, that, everything considered, the Maxwell is the World's Greatest Motor Car Value! C. W. FRANCIS AUTO CO. 2216-18 Farnam St., Omaha. Phone Douglas 853. R99BS
