SHEEP KILL NEARLY READY
- Secretary and Traffic Manager A.
F. Stryker of the Live Stock exchange
wu re-elected at the annual meeting
yesterday afternoon. Gene Melady,
treasurer, was also re-elected. The
meeting lasted the greater part of the
afternoon and adjourned before all
business was completed.
' President Tagg of the Exchange an
nounced that committees, intended to
be appointed at the meeting, would not
be made known until another meeting
is held. The reading of reports by
secretaries of various committees oc
cupied the greater part of the time., .
New Armour Killing Floor.
The finest and perhaps the best
equipped sheep killing floor, in" the
entire country is receiving finishing
touches at the Armour plant The
work on the new addition to the plant
which has been under the course of
construction for several months is
now practically finished and the floor
ready for use. n
The room is designed and equipped
to eliminate congestion. It is is es
timated that about 6,500 sheep can
be handled in a day of ten hours. Such
a capacity passes that of the sheep
killing department at the big Armour
plant in Chicago, which is considered
the largest in the world. The local
plant ha been equipped with new
steel and concrete hog and cattle kill
ing floors, which cost in the neighbor
hood of $200,000. ' '
The triple killing floors are now
absolutely sanitary. .- 1 ''
The sheep kill will be placed in
operation very soon. There is no
pressing need for abandonment of the
old. , . ,
Fugitives with Federal Authorities.
Immigration authorities took over
responsibility for the arrest of Helen
Kneiovich and Joe - Miller, young
Canadians arrested yesterday, fugi
tives from justice for violation of the
Mann ct. The case will be investi
gated. , ..... !; .'.,
Detectives Allert and Zaloudek were
responsible for the arrest of the girl,
while, through clever bit of strat
egy, Captain Briggs effected the de
tention of Miller when the latter at
tempted to hide from the police.
Sympathy is with the young woman
and should her story prove true re
garding Canadian laws in reference
to marriage and divorce there is a
possibility that United States author'
tties will allow them to be returned to
Canada, where they may marry. The
law will take its course as long as
they are in this country, police assert.

taker, was found dead at, 5 o'clock
yesterday afternoon . seated v4t the;
wheel of his automobile which stood
to one side of the Calhoun road, seven
miles west of Florence.
His brain, from temple to temple,
had been penetrated by a bullet from
his- own gun a thirty-two" calibre
revolver which lay at his feet. Pow
der burns about his right temple indi
cated that the revolver, when dis
charged, was held close to his head.
These bits of mute evidence have
convinced those who have investi
gated the case that Mr. Dodder had
taken his own life, although his inti
mate friends and business associates
declare they can think of no reason
why he should have done so.
, Fanner Finds Body. , . ,'
Hans Kruse, a farmer, on his way
to Florence, found Dodder's body
after it had been passed a dozen
timet by automobiles and other ve
hicles, despite the fact that it 'was
but a few feet from the road. Wheel
tracks in the snow around the car in
dicated this. 1 "
Knur did not recocnize. the body
as that of Mr. Dodder, but notified
County Attorney George A. Magney
of 'his discovery. Edward Bolton of

tonight destroyed two buildings used
in the manufacture; of chairs. Seven
teen hundred convicts, locked In their
cells, behaved with exemplary disci
pline, -according to Warden "immer,
although for a time it was a question
whether the flames would be checked,
as the only water supply was from a
big well in the prison yard.;
The prison is outside the city limits
and the piison fire company of sev

of the other convicts until the arrival
of firemen from .the city, The shops
were of flimsy wooden construction
and efforts of the firemen were con
fined to prevent spread of the flames.
The principal loss was about $50,000
in machinery -. The greatest danger
lay in fear that the supply of water
In the well would become exhausted.
The supply held out, however, and
ultimately, augmented by a long con
nection made with a city water main.

report that the bank deposits and his
statements tally to the very penny,
even up to the day of his death. -

their official advisers, have arrived
in Rome, says an official! statement
issued tonight, to participate with the

says today with regard to the visit
of Premier Lloyd George and Vis
count Milner to Rome: .
I "The Berliner Tageblatt points out
that a Kreat war council has been as-.
sembled in Rome, probably in order
obtain the jecessary Italian co
in the Balkans, as other
French General Sarrait's
armv would be irretrievably lost. This
council, the newspaper adds, at least
clearly demonstrates the critical situ
ation of theentente powers in the
Balkans." ' ,, '

That the feminist movement 'hail
its beginning in Florence at the time
of Boccaccio was a point of interest
to ardent followers of -the "Cause,"
who listened raotlv' to Dr. Thomas

noon before th fine Arts society at
the Fonteneile. ' 1 'i " '
"Woman first took her place beside
man in the social and political life
of the western world at the tnrte of
Boccaccio. At the beginning of this
emancipation. women occupied re
sponsible chairs at the great Univer
sity of Bologn and the enobling in
fluence of women was felt every
where, he said.
Whether the Omaha women are
more interested in Florentine Art
than that of Japanese, the subject of
i Thursday's lecture, or whether their
marked attention to Dr. Blaney's re
marks yesterday .in contrast to his
first lecture was brought about by
story Dr. Blaney told in preface to
his lecture, cou.d not be learned.
