J HAPPENINGS OF THE SOUTH SIDE Methodist Minister Objects to Comfort Kits Because Tobacco Is Placed in Them.

Working on the theory that an alien enemy may have been responsible for the conflagration, Marshal Eberstein, local chief of the federal bureau of in vestigation, visited the scene yester day. He would not comment on the case last night. The Maney mill had been filling government flour contracts and it was said was bidding on another large order. Along with the federal investiga tion, Major Todd, of the Omaha bat talion, whose men were guarding the elevator in which was stored 70,000 bushels of wheat and corn, is making an effort to determine the origin of the blaze. One of his men turned m the fire alarm. - "We believe that the fire was in cendiary," he said. "There have been a number ot mysterious elevator hrcs all over the country lately." After investigating every possible clue, Fire Warden Morris .said last night that he had not been able to find out what caused the conflagra tion. . 'I intend to continue the investi gation, he added. The loss of 70,- 000 bushels of grain is too serious a matter to be lightly passed over these days. Assistant Chief Simpson, ot the fire department, who made a hurried ex amination at the time of the fire, said he was at a loss to know what started it. Writes Decalogue on " Subject of War Relief A "war relief decalogue," written by Rabbi Louis J. Kopald of Temple Beth Zion, Buffalo, N. Y., a former Omaha bov, is being widely circulated in connection with the $10,000,000 re lief fund the Jews of America have set themselves to raise this year. Rabbi Kopald, who is the son of Mr. and Mrs. j. N. Kopald, wrote the war relief decalogue while acting as chair man for the Buffalo committee, which raised $100,000 of the allotted sum. Henry M organ thau and Rabbi Stephen Wise were speakers at the meeting which wound up the Buffalo campaign recently. The decalogue is as follows: I.

Willie Gets Into Coop, But Can't Get Out Again Getting in a chicken- coop is one thing and getting out again is quite another. Willie Harper, 13-year-old colored boy, 960 North Twenty eighth avenue, found this out to his sorrow when- he broke into the chicken coop of J. F. Edwards, 2928 Nicholas street, last night about 11 o'clock. Willie ate an egg for supper and contracted a bad case of chickejiitis. Armed with a gunny sack, Willie took himself forth on the dark errand to the residence of Edwards. When Wil lie arrived there was nothing to stop him but a wire netting surrounding the chicken coop. A little thing like a wire netting was not to obstruct his ambition. He began to load his gunny sack, but the chickens objected and testified thereto by prolonged and boisterous squawking. The noise made Mr. Edwards feel suspicious, so he called central headquarters for police. wnen umccrs Hen and Butord arrived they found Willie roosting quietly wun tne cnicxens. , "Come out," ordered Officer Heil. "1 cain't." Drotested Willie. "How did you get in there?" que- rico jmccr nuiora. ' "Through that there hole," an swered Willie, pointing to a small break in the bottom of the netting.

RUSSIA OH BRINK' OF ECONOMIC RUIN Head of Portfolio of Finance Says Demands of Workmen Threaten to Stop Wheels of Industry. Tetrograd (Via London), May 29. The industrial crisis in Russia is to acute that, according to a recent ut terance of the minister of finance, M. Shingarolf, only a miracle can save the country rom economic ruin. The demands of the workmen were so enormous, he declared, that it seemed impossible to keep the industrial wheels going for any great length Of time. The socialist ministers at a recent ministerial council said that the only possibility they saw of settling the difficulties was to bring the war to a close. Neither the coalition cabinet nor the newly appointed commission to regulate the difficulties between capi tal and labor has yet found a way to settle the industrial crisis. The commission is composed of the ministers of finance, trade and indus try and labor, but since there is a wide divergence of views between the minister of finance and the new so cialist minister of labor, it seems probable that th'9 commission will be confronted with the same difficulties that attended previous efforts at re conciliation. An investigation of the factory con ditions in Petrograd leads to the alarming, but inevitable conclusion, that unless the government soon finds a means of adjusting the present difficulties most of the industrial en terprises working for national defense will be compelled to close within a few months. The outstanding features of the la bor situation are as follows : An investigation shows that virtu ally the same difficulties prevail in all the big factories in Petrograd and apparently authenticated reports from the Moscow, Donets and Ural dis tricts indicate general disorganization. In many of the factories the de mands by the workmen for increased wages are actually greater than the entire profit of the factories under the best conditions of production. The workmen, through their commit tee, are virtually in command ot tne factories and all business has to be submitted to them for approval. The wages in a majority of the factories have already been increased from 100 to 150 per cent. But there has yet been no offset by an advance in the prices of the output. Not only have the prices of prod ucts not met the advance in wages, but payment has been so slow that industry is in urgent need of work ing capital. The dealers find it diffi cult to borrow money, as the banks naturally are net eager to extend credit to factories which are in con trol of temporary workmen's com mittees. As a result some of the factories, according to this informa tion, will be compelled to close within a month. An ironical feature of the difficul ties confronting the employers is the fact that allhouah suffering serious loss they do not dare to close the establishments owing to threats of bodily and material vengeance. The power of the workmen's committees sq far has superceded the authority ot the owners. No man in a factory can be dismissed without the consent of the committees. There is no way of enforcing discipline, said one of the manufactures, and idleness is prevalent.
