THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1916. :r EMTEHTE DRAWS NOTE TO SWEDEN - friction Over Blockade Policy .. -V of Great Britain Apparently ? Hearing Acute Stage. v, ,' I SWEDEN , SEIZES COrrEE 1 aris, Sept 15. The French gov ernment has instructed the minister at Stockholm to join with the other entente ministers in presenting a friendly but firm note to Sweden in regard to its policy of neutrality. The note takes issue with the position of Sweden in distinguishing between submarines for war and those for commerce, which the French govern ment affirms has "an effect contrary to neutrality", since the Swedish naval forces would hesitate to attack a German submarine in Swedish wa ters under the pretext that it might be a commercial submarine, where as there would be no similar hesita tion in dealing with a submarine of the allies because they have no com mercial submarines. .' r' ' Sweden Seizes Coffee. Berlin, Sept. 15. (By Wireless to Sayville.) A Stockholm dispatch to the Overseas News agency says that Sweden has held up 10,000 tons of coffee destined for Finland, presu mably on account of the fact that. Great Britain has detained shipments of 'Coffee for Sweden. As a result there is great scarcity of coffee in Finland. i . . NEW GENERAL SECRETARY OP THE Y. W. 0. A. I J I ffae. i'XTl PBSKERWGl Great Britain and Sweden i have ; been at odds since the early period '. of the war, and Sweden's unyielding I attitude evidently has resulted in a .decision to exert the combined pres sure of all the entente allies on it. Difficulties arose from the allied blockade of Germany, resulting in the hold up of goods . en route to . Sweden, which were suspected to be destined for Germany. Sweden re : taliated by holding up Urge quanti ties of parcel post matter in transit between England and Russia. - This led to sn exchange of notes, which accomplished nothing, and early this month a deadlock, was reached. Great Britain insisted as a I e, ndition . to submitting the dispute to arbitration that Sweden must promise not to interfere again with i English mail , matter. Sweden de i clined and the Swedish minister- at London went to the continent, to be '.gone for; several weeks. Negotia tions were transferred to Stockholm, but the latest advices from London . were that no solution' of the prob- tern was in sight Corn Crop is Not j Damaged by the Frost Thursday I The first frost of the season visited 'Nebraska last night and generally it was a killing one.

Chairman Beach of the republican state committee has been ' in every city, town, village and hamlet in this state during his business career as an insurance man. It is said "Ed" knows the state from Alpha to Omega. The Doualas County Republican league at its meeting Thursday un qualifiedly endorsed Charles Evans Hughes for president and John L. Kennedy for senator. This is an as sociation of north side colored voters. Notwithstanding the embargo which the war has levied, there have been more importations of certain K goods into this country, In competi tion with our farmers, than there nave been in a similar period during any republican administration," stated county Chairman noweii, speaking for the county central committee. When Charles E. Hughes became a member of the supreme court of the United States the Legislative Labor News of New York printed the fol lowing: "Now that Governor Hughes has retired from politics and ascended to a place on the highest judicial tribunal in the world, the fact can be acknowledged without hurting any body's political corns, that he was the greatest triend ot labor laws that ever occupied the governor's chair at . Albany, j During his two terms he has signed tit- ty-six labor ' laws, including among inem inc ucsi laour laws ever cnacicu in this or any other state. He also urged the enactment of labor laws in Ins messages to the legislature, even going so far as to place the de mand for a labor law in one of his messages to an extra session of the legislature."

Mr. Bohan said Simm told him that clothing had been re moved from the store in suit cases before other employes came to work in the morning.

The plans will be put into final shape at a meeting here Monday be tween President Wilson, Vance Mc Cormick, chairman of the democratic national committee' and Homer S.

Mrs. Annie E., 'owe, his sister, who .is critically ill at New London, Conn. Wilson Will Reply ; To Hughes' Criticism Of Adamson Law Long Branch, N. J, Sept 15. President Wilson decided today to take advantage of the earliest possi ble opportunity to. challenge the statement made by Charles E. Hughes in recent speeches that the basis on which the recently threatened rail road strike was averted was merely an increase of wages for the em ployes. The president his political advis ers said today, considers the princi ple of the eight-hour day vitally af fected by, the strike settlement and will seek to show that while the rail road legislation passed by congress to meet the situation will give the employes , at least a temporary in crease in pay, the more important poi'nt is that it established the eight- hour day as the basis of work for railroad workmen. ' . Mr. Wilson expects to make clear that he will not be satisfied until con gress enacts into the law the rest of the railroad legislation he recom mended when the strike was threat ened, including an increase in the Interstate Commerce commission and a measure for investigation of con troversies between railways and their employes before strikes or lockouts are called. -. , , . , Elephant Which Killed Its Trainer Hanged With Chain Erwin, Tenn., Sept. 15.
