Omaha Woman Learns How to Play
Faro Bank on Visit to Mexico
Watch your step! 'Scandal in our
set Miss Bessie Kantian, superin
tendent of the Visitinc Nurse aasocia
tion of Omaha, knows how to play
faro. She learned this great indoor
sport about a week ago when she vis
ited the famou gambling resort at
Tia Juana, Mexico, which is twenty
five miles across the border and
south of San Diego.
Miss Randall has no intention of
introducing faro into the Nurses
Central club, 2420 Harney street
where she was interviewed yesterday
upon her return from a vacation of
five weeks.
This intrepid Omaha vwoman told
the story of her visit to Tia Juana in
the following language:
"At our hotel in San Diego I asked
the clerk if be would recommend a
guide to take myself and two women
companions to Tia Juae. He asked
me why I wanted to go there and I
replied that I wanted to get a glimpse
of the gambling and the night life.
ne seriously advised against the ex
pedition, but when I asked him a
second time he referred me to a
friend who could drive an automo
bile and knew the Mexican language
and customs. With me were Mrs.
Charles Wille of Omaha and a San
Diego friend. . We arrived at Tia
Juana about noon, when the town
was fast asleep. Their day time is
our night
"The town is typically Mexican,
with an old fort and evidences of
Mexican soldiery, such ts it is. At
evening time we visited the great
Casino, which is a large wooden
structure built for gambling.
"We were the only women in the
place, but were not subjected to any
affronts. , It was a motley crowd
gathered in groups around thirty
names u in descriptions gnu ior an
sizes of stakes. There were Ameri
cans, Mexicans, Spaniards, Chinese,
Japanese and. Africans at the tables.
American money only was exchanged.
The ages ranged from, a newsboy 12
years of age to a venerable gamester
with a long beard. 'We were eyed
with some curiosity, but most of the
crowd of nearly 200 seemed more in
tent upon their gambling tnan upon
three American women visitors.
"I noticed that a Mexican military
officer eyed me furtively, but he did
not deign to speak. He wore on his
shoulder three straps, . which were
fastened with safety pins, and wnicn,
I oresume. indicated bis rank, A
newsboy came in and bought 15 cents
in checks, won 45 cents snd then
quit An American had $500 before
him and he told me he started with
$1.50. He cashed in at one table and
then went over to one of the more
scientific games where the expert'
enced nlavers hazard their money.
We remained until midnight, when
we motored back to San Diego, rath
er glad after all when we crossed the
border again.
"Between San Diego and Tia
Juana, on the Mexican side, is a
river which must be crossed on a
railroad trestle with a single track
and a narrow margin extending be
yond each rail. To cross this with
an automobile requires considerable
skill. There is not room tor two ma
chines to pass, thus necessitating the
crossing of only one automobile at
a time. Our machine was examined
by customs officers on both sides,
especially on the return, as we were
told that motorists have been appre
hended smusKling Chinese and Jap-
.l lT i - - . fv. I
anesc in we macmnes jor a aw a ncaa.
"Oh, yes, at the Casino I learned
how to play faro. A man explained
it to me. but I do hot intend to take
up the game, not at all. It is well to
know something about these things."
Miss Randall said bull fights are
held every Sunday at Tia Juana.

run with greater frequency than
usual. This, it was explained, was
done to accomodate the overflow of
Sunday crowds which -ordinarily ride
on surface cars.
Jitney in Demand.
Jitneys v. ere in demand during the
day, particularly in the crosstown
thoroughfares of the city. In some
instances' adults were observed on
roller skates. The first accident since
the strike, occurred late today, when
fourteeen persons, among them six
policemen on strike duty, received
minor injuries in a rear end collision
between two Third Avenue elevated
trains. -
Several outbreaks of violence were
reported by the police- The most
serious was an attack on a Madison
Avenue surface car. Eleven arrests
were made after shots were fired by
the police to hold back rioters who
tried to rescue the prisoners. One
policeman was ' hurt by a bottle
thrown by a rioter. " ." '
New York, Sept ll.-William B.
Fitzgerald, general organizer of the
Amalgamated Association of Electric
and Street Railway Employes, which
is conducting the strike, in a state
ment issued today, asserted that the
effort of local, traction interests to
destroy the union is "the forerunner
of a movement by capital to crush
orgsnised labor throughout the coun
try." - ., i
"President Wilson just enacted into
law the orinclnle of the eight-hour
day," Fitzgerald said. "Organized cap
ital does not intend that sucn legis
lation shall remain on the. statute
books. The struggle in this city is
only a symptom of the purpose and
inteniinn or orsanized caoital."
President Shonts, head of the In
terborough and "Green Car" surface
systems, replied to this by saying
; "Labor organizers csme here to or
ganize this town, and if they suc
ceed they will do to this city Just
what the railroad brotherhoods did
to the government.
Newark, N. J., Sept. 11. Appearing
unexpectedly at the opening here to
day of the fifth biennial convention
of the International Steam and Oper
ating Engineers, Samuel Uompera,
president of the American Federation
ot Labor, spoke today on tne street
railway strike.
"We are going to do everything
within the law -and within' the moral
code of man to see that the rights of
workers shall be maintained and that
the right to organize shall not be in
terfered with by any corporation," he
said. ' 1 K
It was reported that Mr. Gompers
had come here ' to confer with
Matthew Cammerford of St Paul, the
national president of the engineers,
on the chances of the union joining
in the general strike said to be im
pending in New York j
May Ask Kansas

Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 11. Reso
lutions requesting that all Kansas
City High school girls be required to
wear uniforms will be presented to
the Board of Education at its next
meeting.
The resolutions, which assert that
rivalry in dress is having an unwhole
some effect on the girls, two of whom
recently declined to attend school be
cause they could not dress as well as
others, were adopted today by the
civics committee of the council of

AUSTRIA WON'T QUIT-
ON TERMS OF ALLIES
Have Defended Soil Pretty
Well and Can Do It Till
Enemies Are Tired. .
EOUMAHIA WILL BE SORRY
Vienna, (Via, Berlin), Sept 11.
That Austria Hungary while It
would htil peace with joy, has no
intention of quitting the fray at the
present onder the terms its enemies
would impose, is the statement made
by Baron Burian, the Austro-Hun-
guarian minister of foreign affairs.
"Theer may be some" said Baron
Burian, "who say that for military
reasons we ought to be the first to
start peace overtures. I do not think
so, as long as our antagonists speak
of the partition of our country among
themselves. We have defended our
soil pretty well so far, arid will do
it longer long enough to make the
others tired of it."
The position of the dual monarchy
in the world of war, he said has been
erroneously charcterized by enemies
and certain neutrals as unsatisiactory
. Not Lying Down.
"Austro-Hungary is far from lying
down, as hoped by some, said tne
minister in a tone carrying convic
tion. "It is true we would hail peace
with joy, but not the sort of peace
our enemies would impose. So long
as we have to defend ourselves
against those who want to take part
of our, territory, we naturally are un
willing to discuss reace and so long
we also are determine to hold out
and win. The thought that we are
eager for peace on any terms origi
nates probably in minds hoping that
such will become the case."
The minister then reveiwed the
situation prior to Roumania s declara
tion of -war. and said:
"We offered Roumania no territorial
concessions at any time after having
discovered in the case of Italy that
the world was likely to mistake our
reasonable attitude for weakness. Nor
were we ever taken by surprise by
Roumania. What did fool us was
that Roumania made up her mind so
quickly. , ;
Chance to Rue Bargain.
"Well. Roumania will have a good
chance to rue her -bargain, if 1 am
not mistaken." -
Replying to a question as to the
monarchy s military and economic
status at this moment the minister
said be had no anxiety on that score.
But added:
."Some think we are not doing
enough. In addition to holding the
Italians checked, we have- managed
to render useless Brussiloff's great of
L L . i ., u : i j'
play; the Kussian soldier is a valiant
and stubborn enemy." ; , ,
The discussion then touched on
American-Austro-Hungarian relations.
in the course ot which the corres
pondent referred to the note sent to
the American government in connec
tion with the export from the United
states ot arms and ammunition.
The baron said: "
IT Relations the Best.
.'It affords me great olessure to
say that the relations between the
two governments are the very best.
At the same time I must sav that
personally I still adhere to the views
expressed in that note. America in
exporting large quantities of arms
and ammunition, undoubtedly con
tributed to the long duration of this
war and the damage thereby inflicted
upon -mankind is irreparable. We
sent that note so 1 that Americans
might, know our view.
"That the Americsn government
could not agree to the note is the
undeniable sovereign right of that
nation- Thus the matter stands. On
that subject we must always disagree,
so far as my own personal opinion
is concerned."
The minister then discussed the

Few realize how many society
women now wash their own hair, not
because it is fad, but because they
wish to obtain the greatest possible
hair beauty and be sure they are not
using anything harmful The thou
sands who have found that in wash-
ins; the hair it is never wise to use
a makeshift, but is always advisable
to use a preparation made for sham
pooing only, say they get the best
results from a simple home-made can
throx mixture. You can enjoy this,
the best that is known, for about
three cents a shampoo by getting
some canthrox from your druggist,
and dissolving a teaspoonful in a
cup of hot water. Your shampoo is
now ready. . After its use the hair
dries rapidly with uniform color.
Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear. Your
hair will be so fluffy that it will look
much heavier than it is. Its luster
snd softness will also delight you,
while the stimulated scalp gains the
health which insures hair growth.
