POLICE ASKED
TO SAFEGUARD
IOWA MEETING
Manager of Theater Requests
Protection When Iowa Citi
zens Gather to Hear Airing
of State's Worst Crime.
Harry Cockrell, manager of the
Boyd theater, has asked for police
protection for the mass meeting to
be held there Saturday by residents of
Iowa to voice their protest over offi
cial gagging of free speech in the ef
fort to bring the perpetrator of the
Villisca ax murders to justice.
"A situation without known prece
dent in the United States will be pre
sented when the outraged citizens of
another state travel 100 miles by train
and automobile and cross the Mis
souri river for the purpose of holding
a mass meeting at which they may
speak their minds freely without fear
of the law," said Ross Moore, brother
of one of the eight victims of , the ax
fiend.
"In an effort to stem the rising tide
in Montgomery county the unseen
powers behind the effort to send Rev.
Lyn G. J. Kelly to an insane asylum
and thus close the avenues by which
the perpetrator of the bloodiest crime
ever committed in Iowa may be run
down a propaganda has been started
in Montgomery county to prevent cit
izens from coming to Omaha.
Brother to Speak.
"But it will fail. The people are
aroused and they will be here to tell
what they know. The fair name of
Montgomery county and of Iowa will
be cleared of this blot."
Mr. and Mrs. Ross Moore and Mr.
and Mrs. Joe Stilliuger of Villisca
wilt voice from the stage their be
lief that Rev. Lyn G. J. Kelly is in
nocent of the murdcrharge recorded
against him by grand jury indictment.
Moore's brother, Joseph, and the
tatter's wife And four chiWreriwere
murdered while they- slept and the
Stillingers are parents of two girls
who were visiting over nigfct at the
Moore home and were killed by the
same ax which was used crushing the
life out of the six members of the
Moore family.
So strong are the Moores and Still
ingers in their belief of Kelly's inno
cence that they have contributed
money toward his defense and for the
expenses of the meeting in Omaha.
The aged mother of Mrs. Joseph
Moore also will be here and will tell
her story. ,
Forecasts Sensations.
Judge A. L. Sutton, who is repre
senting Kelly, states that sensational
developments will materialize during
the mass meeting. Attorney Sutton
has received many letters and tele
phone calls regarding this unprece
dented situation.
Information from Red Oak and
Vilticra indirates that ail effort to
counteract public sentiment in favor
of Detective J. N. Wilkerson's ap
pearance at the mass meeting in
Omaha has failed. Sentiment in favor
of Kelly and Wilkerson and against
certain public officials has been grow
ing in Montgomery county, of which
Red Oak is the seat.
Will Tell All.
Mr. Wilkerson states that he has
no fear that his words at the Boyd
'theater meeting will be used against
him in Montgomery county in con
nection with an injunction suit

Outgoing Cablegrams to Be
More Closely Censored
Washington, July 6. Censorship
of outgoing cables undoubtedly will
be jhade much more rigid to prevent
spies from sending information to the
enemy.
Many officials believe information
is reaching Germany now in the form
of commercial messages cabled from
the United States to European neu
tral countries. Already, it is said the
government in cases that excite sus
picion is changing the wording of
messages.
Reports that German insurance
companies operating in this country
have easy access to confidential infor
mation having to do with shipping
and the dispatch of troops has
prompted the government to investi
gate their activities. Secretary Red
held said today he thought the opera
tion of these companies should be
kept under a close and continuous
scrutiny.
Two German Spies Are
Arrested at New York
New York, July 6. Agents for the
Department of Justice this afternoon
arrested two Germans, one reputed to
be a paymaster for the German spy
system in this country, and the other
alleged to have been formerly asso
ciated with Captain Franz von Papen,
at one time military attache at the
German embassy in Washington.
Detroit Man Charged

Detroit, Mich., July 6. Allan Liv
ingstone today was charged with the
murder of 1.1-year-old Hope Irene
Alexander. The cild was shot and as
saulted in a grove near Detroit on
Wednesday afternoon, the police say.
Ten-year-old Elizabeth Stilber, who
was with the Alexander girl when the

SENATE REJECTS
PROHIBITION OF
LIGHTER LIQUOR
Cummins' Amendment Against
Whisky Accepted, But Myers'
Beer and Wine Clause Is
Turned Down.
Washington, July 6. In what was
regarded as the first real test of
strength between senate wets and
drys, the senate late today rejected,
52 to 34, a food bill amendment by
Senator Myers" to prohibit manufac
ture of beer and vinous beverages
along with distilled liquors.
Upon reconsideration the senate
voted, 45 to 40, to retain the pro
visions of the Cummins amendment'
prohibiting imports of distilled bev
erages and also prohibiting with
drawal of distilled spirits in bond for
beverage use.
The senate recessed tonight with
out disposing of the prohibition pro
vision of the food bill.
Adoption of the Cummins amend
ment somewhat complicated the situa
tion. The leaders said that should
the senate adopt the Robinson substi
tute, the Cummins amendment would
not be effective unless again adopted.
Senator Stone gave notice that he
would move to reconsider the Cum
mins amendment and the vice presi
dent ruled that such a motion would
be in order at any time before the bill
was finally voted on in committee ot
the whole.
Myers Offers Amendment.
( Senator Myers then offered an
amendment to the Robinson substi
tute so as to cover beer and wine as
well as. distilled liquors: That brought
to a head the controversy over Pfesi-'
dent Wilson)) ..suggestion that beer
and wine be excepted so as to expe
dite passage of the bill.
Senator I'ittman declared certain
senators were voting for prohibition
as an excuse to filibuster and kill the
bill and he said he would' vote against
the prohibition proposals in order to
get a cloture rule to force the bill
through. In reply, Senator Norris
asserted that no filibuster is contem
plated. Their Master's Voice.
Referring to the senate agricultural
committee's reversal of action upon
beer and wines after the president
had acted, he said:
"The committee heard the presi
dent's speech and at least some of
the senators recognized their mas
ter's voice."
Senator Sherman announced that
he favored the "bone dry" proposal
of Senator Myers. He provoked
laughter by presenting telegrams
from Chicago constituents with for
eign names asking tha no action be
taken upon beer.
Senator Chamberlain, in charge of
the bill, said he would vote against
the Myers amendment because there
were enough delicate questions al
ready in the bill without interjecting
bone dry prohibition.
Senator Jones of Washington reit
erated that the prohibition interests
are not opposing the bill, declaring
the records will show where '.'the re
bellion" against the measure comes
from.
Phelan Opposes Proposals.
Opposing the "bone dry" proposal,
Senator Phelan declared it would de
stroy large revenues and interfere
with the fixed habits of the people.
"The president is of the opinion,"
he said, "that the masses of the peo
ple without spokesmen here are
against invasion of their daily habit
and what they regard as their right
to drink a little beer with their din
ners or lunch."
Senator Sheppard, a leading prohi
tion advocate, announced he would
"suppord the hands of the president,"
and yield to the request for deferring
action upon beer and wines.
'"I will not support prohibition or
anything else," said the Texas sena
tor, "which interferes with the presi
dent's plan in the conduct of the war."
Miss Rankin's Charges
Will Be Investigated
Washington, July 6. As a result of
the protest of Representative Jean-
nette Rankin of Montana, Secretary
McAdoo today appointed a commit
tee to investigate alleged compulsory
overwork of women in the bureau of
printing and engraving. Director
Ralph of the bureau contends condi
tions among the workers are good,
that they are paid for overtime and
that the extra work is necessary for
getting out Liberty bonds and other
extra work imposed on the bureau by
war conditions.
Large Cotton Plant
At Paris, Tex.,Burned
Paris, Texas, July 6. The plant of
the Transcontinental Cotton Press
company with its contents of 2,700
bales of cotton was destroyed ty
fire late last night, entailing a loss
estimated at more than $400,000.
Officials of the company express
the belief that the fire was of incen
diary orgin. The loss is said to be
partially covered by insurance.

NEVILLE SAYS HE
ISNOT'CRAZY'ON
GOVERNOR'S JOB
Alkali Affects' Nebraska's
Chief Executive, So He Has
Decided to Be Colonel of
New "Dandy Sixth."
" y
"This salt and. alkali water here
in Lincoln does not agree with me
anyway," Governor Keith Neville is
quoted as saying when discussing his
ambition to become colonel of the
Dandy Sixth Nebraska and serve with
the American army at the front in
France."
"The alkali water affects me, and
I am not crazy about this job of being
governor anyway. If any mart thjnks
it's a snap, that man, is mistaken, and
should try it a while."
Omahans close to t'.ie governor and
to his secretary, Lee Metcalfe, say
that it is all settled and that the
governor and his secretary are both
going to war.
Governor Neville iaid a quiet visit
to Omaha a few days ago, called at
headquarters of the "Dandy Sixth"
and also stepped across the street to
hob-nob with the hoys in charge of
the recruiting station where the
Fourth Nebraska is being brought up
to war strength.
Minor officers of the "Dandy Sixth"
are talking confidentially of Neville
as their prospective colonel.
When recruiting began shortly after
war was declared, Lee Metcalf, sec
retary to the governor, talked some
of joining the army. At that time
Governor Neville is said to have per
suaded him to wait. Later when Sec
retary Metcalfe continued to talk war
the governor is reputed to have said:
"Wait, Lee, later on maybe we'll
both go."
Then as the governor and his sec
retary continued to take early morn
ing rides on cavalry horses to get in
form the spirit gradually grew until
one day the governor said outright:
"Lee, if you go I'll go, too."
Lee is Going to War.
It "rs learned now that "Lee" has
definitely decided to go, so it is .be
lieved the governor's mind also has
been madtf up to htep into the ranks
of Uncle Sam's fighting men.
It is considered significant that
while practically all the minor offices
of the "Dandy Sixth" have been filled
a peculiar secrecy surrounds the mat
ter of who shall be its commander.
When one of the Captains of the
"Dandy Sixth" was asked point balnk,
"Who is going to be colonel?" he
evaded the question by saying:
"I don't know. They're talking Ne
ville some"
Douglas County Ready to Draw
Names for Army Under Draft Plan
Douglas county is ready for the
drawing of names for selective army
conscription.
"We're ready as soon as the gov
ernment is," said Election Commis
sioner Moorhead yesterday. He does
not, however, believe any names will
be drawn at Washington before
July .10.
Serial numbers opposite names of
the more than 20,000 young men reg
istered in Douglas county are now
available at the election commission
er's office in the court house.
Numbers corresponding with the
ones in the various exemption districts
over the United States will be drawn
at Washington.-
Names in each of Douglas county's
six exemption districts are numbered
serially from one on up. Thus the
highest number in the largest district
is 4547. Other districts are from 1
to 2600, 1 to 3987, 1 to 3656, 1 to
2578 and 1 to 2112.
Any registered man in Douglas
county may call at the election com
missioner's office and learn what his
number is. It his number happens to
correspond with one drawn at Wash
Workmen and Soldiers
Score Anti-Jewish Action
Petrograd, July 6.The congress
of workmen's and soldiers' dele
gates today adopted a resolution
condemning anti-Jewish agitation,
in which it sees danger of a revolu
tionary movement. The resolution
demands energetic opposition to all
attempts at anti-Semitic agitation
and suppression of all propaganda
of that nature.
CANADIAN HOUSE
APPROVES DRAFT
BILL 118 10 55
.. ... ...
Government Wins Notable Vic
tory for Conscription After
All Night Fight; Amend-
mejits Voted Downy ; y
Ottawa, Ont, July 6. The Ca
nadian House of Commons early to
day adopted the resolution offered by
Premier Borden passing to second
reading the bill for compulsory mili
tary service.
Exciting scenes marked the taking
of the vote, which stood 118 for con
scription and fifty-five against.
The vote gave the government
about twenty more votes- than it
usually polls on important questions.
This was the result of a considerable
number of English speaking liberals
breaking away from the leadership of
Sir Wilfred Laurier and joining with
Premier Borden in support of con
scription. Referendum Voted Down.
Before the bill was sanctioned Sir
Wilfrid Laurier's proposal that the
opinion of tlfe people on conscrip
tion should be tested by a referendum
was defeated by a majority of forty
nine. The attendance of members of the
house W'as the largest that had been
seen in Parliament for many years.
The galleries were filled with specta
tors throughout the night and until
the proceedings closed at sunrise. A
maioritv of the sner.tatnrs were sol
diers returned from Europe andi
women.
French Amendment Killed.
A resolution presented by .the
French nationalists from the province
of Quebec that the conscription bill
should he killed by the adoption of a
six-months' postponement was de
feated by the large majority of 106.
OiWy nine nationalist votes were cast
for the resolution and both the gov
ernment and the opposition to con
scription voted against this proposal.
An amendment aimed to supply
more adequate provisions for depend
ents of men at the front was defeated
115 to 55. Premier Borden explained
that this amendment was "dilatory"
and that he would refuse to allow it to
interfere with the second reading.
ington July 10, then he's it lie's des
tined to help lick the kaiser pro
vided he can show no proper cause for
exemption.
Lists of names and serial numbers
will be posted in exemption board
headquarters as soon as the bodies
decide upon their meeting places. The
boards probably will not start their
sessions until several days after num
bers are drawn.
Allowing for class exemptions, such
as cripples, clergymen, state and fed
eral officials, alien enemies and
others, Election Commissioner Moor
head says there will be about 2,000
names drawn in Douglas county.
Every man drawn under selective
draft will have to go before an ex
emption board, whether ne -claims ex
emption or not and be examined by
a physician. Men also will be given
a later examination by federal phy
sicians. . ,
Duplicate cards of every 'man reg
istered in Douglas rounty were sent
to the governor's office at Lincoln to
day. These cards were numbered the
same as the ones in the election com
missioner's office. Every man will be
triple-clucked when the drawing is
done at Washington.
BUSH SAYS RAIL
LINES WILL PLAY
BIG PART IN WAR
President of Missouri Pacific
System in Omaha Declares
Roads Are at Service
of the Government.
"The railroads of the United States
will play an important part in winning
the war. They will do their bit not
only in the United States, but in
Europe as well," said President B. F,
Bush of the Missouri Pacific system,
who was in Omaha today.
Mr. Bush arrived on a special train
and was accompanied by Vice Presi
dent Robinson, Lhief Engineer Had
ley of St Louis. and General Suncrin
tendent' 'iWebb. Kansas Citv.-vand
Superintendent ebb of the Nebras
ka lines, Falls City. '
Continuing, President Bush said:
"Every railroad in the country is
behind Uncle Sam and the govern
inent is going to be backed up in
every request or demand made. The
roads have all lined up in an agree
ment an whenever the government
asks the railroads to act they will do
so.
U. S. Rail Experts at Work.
"On the European war front Amcr
icau railroads and American railroad
men will have much to do with win
ning the war. Oir railroad men are
mere now anu American ranroaas
have sent over equipment that the
French transportation lines may be
placed in condition ' for handling
troops and supplies.
"It will be noted that American
railroads have been instrumental in
rebuilding the lines in Russia and now
they arc undcrtaking.the same line
of work in France and Belgium. In
the United States, American rail
roads and Amercian railroad men will
respond to the demands of the gov
ernment and will be able to keep
things moving."
During the early morning President
Bush looked over the work being
done on the Omaha Belt line, incident
to elevating and double tracking that
portion of the road from Cuming to
Leavenworth streets. He remarked
that it is the intention of the company
to push construction rapidly. The
work is being delayed, owing to the
difficulty of obtaining labor.
To Cut Drown Grades.
During the construction of the
double track a temporary track is
being laid on the right-of-way, west
of the old tracks. 'As soon as the tem
porary work is completed and the
rails laid and the line ready for traffic,
the line now in use will be torn out
and the filling in will be started.
To make the fill from Cuming to
Howard streets will require thousands
of yards of earth. To obtain this, the
railroad is negotiating with the city.
It proposes to cut do.n a number of
streets and use the dirt in making the
tills.

STAR WITNESS IN MALONEY
CASE REFUSES TO DISCUSS
'INSIDE' DETECTIVE SECRETS
Testifies Was Told by Wolf and Tylee, Maloney Was
Connected With Omaha Detective Association;
Denies Visit to Melson Place With Sutton;
Mrs. Melson Delays Trial.
Mrs. Elsie Phelps, the detective, who made Chadron fam
ous, appeared on the witness stand in the Maloney hearing be-
for the city council yesterday.
She refused to disclose her
Paul Sutton, when the latter was a special invesigator in the
service of Superintendent Kugel of the police department. She
admitted she matriculated as a detective under Sitton, investi
gated bath houses for him, and did "a lot of other minor work."
Asked what the minor work was, she replied, "I will not ,
tell you, because I would bring in the names of a lot of promi
nent people and I will not do that."
OMAHA
UNIONS
SEEK CHANGE TO
FEDERAL COURT
Ask that Attorney General
Reed's Suit Be Removed
from District Court; Co
Defendants Opposed.
Counsel for Omaha unions have
filed a petition in district court asking
that the case brought against thtm
and the Omaha Business Men's as
sociation by Attorney Genual Reed
under the Junkiu ;act, 'alleging acti'
in restraint' of ' trade, be Mmoved to
federal court.
Shortly afterwards, when attorneys
representing opposing factions in the
court battles arising from the Omaha
strike situation, went before fudge
Leslie, sitting in equity court, for an
immediate hearing on the petition for
removal, a big surprise was sprung.
Lined up with Attorney General
Reed and , Attorneys Norris Brown
and D. M. Vinsonhalcr in fighting
the removal of the case to federal
court was Attorney F, A. Brogan,
representing the Business Men's as
sociation, co-defendants with the un
ions when the state official envoked
the Junkin act and obtained tem
porary injunction June 18.
Originally Federal Case.
Anson Bigelow, attorney for the
unions, assisted by C. A. Owens of
Chicago, counsel for the International
Bricklavers' union, areued before
Judge Leslie that the change to fed
eral court was not wanted on grounds
of adverse citizenship, but' because
the case was originally brought under
the federal statutes.
Attorney General Reed, for the
state of Nebraska, on June 18 sought
to end Omaha labor troubles by in
voking the Junkin act. Both the
Business Men's association and the
unions were restrained from commit
ting further alleged acts in restraint
of trade.
Hearing on whether the temporary
restraining order should be made per
manent is to come up in the near fu
ture before Judge Leslie.
Attorney General Reed and his fac
tion and counsel for the Business
Men's association are fighting removal
of rase to federal court on the con
tention that if Judge Leslie signs an
order of removal to federal court he
will automatically deny himself fur
titer jurisdiction in enforcing the re
straining order.
Under Advisement.
Judge Leslie took the case under
advisement and announced he would
hand down a decision tomorrow.
As soon as the hearing on petition
for removal was disposed of Attor
ney Vinsonhalcr, assisting Attorney
General Reed m the legal lights of
the strike controversy, brought the
attention of the court to fact that it
was the day set to show cause why
Justus Gruhm and W. Zciglcr of the
teamsters' union should not be ar
rested for alleged violation of the in
junction. '
Gruhm and Zciglcr are charged
with having threatened two drivers
of the Merchants' Express company
on July 2. .
By agreement between Attorney
General Reed and attorneys for tfie
union the case was postponed until
July 13.

Mavor Dahlman ruled that she
need not go into those details, which
Attorney uakcr wisnea to nave
brought out. '".
Most of the testimony of the wo
man detective was almost veroatin
as she gave it at Chadron at the time
of the preliminary hearing in the
conspiracy case. She reiterated in
detail the alleged telephonic conver
sation between Maloney and mem
bers; of the Omaha Detective associa
tion and repeated her tormer testi
mony that while she was at the office
of the detective association, she was
called upon by Harvey Wolf to con
verse with Maloney over the tele
phone, and that Maloney wished her
well on her Chadron mission.
Was Told About Maloney.
Mrs. Phelps testified that Philip
Winckler and Gust A. Tylee of the
detective association . told her that
Malonev and Tom Dennison were in-
4erested in the association and asked
uci hiic was uu me Homo
-The "woman detective'waa eyed with
considerable.' curiosity -whemshe tp
peared for the first time in the coun-
cil chamber. Her entrance followed
a dramatic situation in which Mrs.
Margaret Melson played the leading
role. At the conclusion of Mrs. Mel-
son's testimony Attorney Thomas
asked that she be required to, go into
another room and identify Mrs,
Phelps.
No Right to Make Demand.
The six city commissioners voted
in favor of that, but the mayor dis
sented and stated that lie would not,
as chairman, issue such an order; that
the council had no right to make such
a demand. When asked if she would
accede to a request Mrs. Melson dc
clined, whereupon Attorney Thomas
announced that Mrs. Melson dis
credited her own testimony against
Mrs. Phelps by declining to identify
the woman whose character she had
assailed. ,
The long-expected identification of
Mrs. Fhclps by Mrs. Melson did not
occur. '
Motion to Dismiss Fails.
A feature of the proceedings was a
motion by Commissioner Kugel to
dismiss the case against Maloney, but
he was supported only by the mayor.
His motion to postpone the hearing
until after disposition of the Chad
ron case also was lost. That occurred
at a juncture when the whereabouts of
Mrs. Melson were in doubt. The chief
of police had been, notified to find her
and in turn he notified all policemen
and detectives to assist in locating the
witness.
Mrs. Melson Appears.
Shortly after the afternoon session
had been called Mrs. Melson walked
into the council chamber, wearing a
broad smile and a new hat. She had
been located at the home of Mrs.
Josephine McCune, Twenty-fifth ave
nue and Woolworth avenue.
Mrs. Melson became angry toward
Attorney Elmer Thomas whose in
quisitorial manner piqued the witness.
"If you could have had some of that
currant jelly I was putting up this
morning, you would not feel as you
do now," was one of the bon mots that
struck Thomas.
Thomas Too Particular.
Mrs. Melson told Thomas she would
go right home and would refuse to
answer any more of his questions tin
less he modified his demands for ex
act times and places and other de
tails. r
Mrs. Phelps maintained a calm man

witness stand. She refused to be dis-

some pain.
Why does a competitor
