Stone Resolution Meets
Opposition of Hitchcock
Washineton March 2.. Senator
Hitchcock, speaking for the commit
tee, declared that to ask the presi
dent's opinion and then cross-examine
him, as the stone amendment pro
nosed, would be an affront.
He also read from the president's
soeech his desire to keep out ot the
European conflict to show that he was
averse to any step that will lead the
country unnecessarily to war.
"If it is true that this note came
from one of the belligerents, should
not that fact be called to the atten
tion of this country?" asked Senator
Hard wick.
"No," Senator Hitchcock answered.
"I simply think we ought to ask the
president for a definite statement of
his opinion of its authenticity.
"But the material fact to us and
this country is whether some one who
is interested in getting us into war
has given the note to us," insisted
Senator Hardwick.

HAPPENINGS III
THEJAGIC CITY
Mrs. Garrett Swallows Poison
When She Loses Her
Position,
COST OF LIVING TOO HIGH
Despondent because she had lost
her temporary position in a local
laundry, Mrs. Ladeu Garrett, 20-year-old
wife of Frank Garrett,
stcamfitter at the Morris packing
plant, attempted suicide last evening
by swallowing the contents of a
small bottle of iodine.
Police Surgeon Losey was called a
half hour after the drinking of the
poison and administered aid that as
sured the young woman's complete
recovery.
"We have been struggling along as
best we could, young liarrett told
Captain Briggs, "but luck has been
against us. Board costs $6 apiece
alone and it is nearly impossible to
make things move along whsn I
earn only 2Vi cents an hour at the
packing house.
Garrett and his wile had some
words after supper last evening and
unknown to the husband, his wife
secretly swallowed the poison in her
bedroom. Her plight was discovered
shortly after, however.
The couple has lived here but
three months and Mrs. Garrett has
been working for short periods from
time to time in an effort to assist her
husband in making both ends meet.
Hundred Bucks Disappear.
One hundred dollars disappeared
mysteriously from Nels Anderson,
brought in at the police station
charged with drinking last evening,
according to his own story. He told
officers at the police station that he
had lost the money during the aft
ernoon. He is a laborer at a local
packing plant.
Edward Girard, peddler, was ar
rested by Officer Scott shortly after
6 o'clock last evening charged with
peddling without a license.

second time yesterday at the Omaha
yards when Joe Kreici, Bohemian
farmer of Schuyler, brought in a car
of the swine that averaged 264
pounds. The lot was raised and cared

near bchuyler.
E. F. Collins of St. Edward was
