This case had its inception when Mrs. Phelps was engaged by the de tective association 'to go to Chadron to work on the Hood case, wherein Robert Hood was seeking evidence against his wife. Before leaving Oma ha th4 woman detective confided her mission to Detective Paul B. Sutton, r then member of the morals squad under. Superintendent Kurd of the police-department. Mrs., Phelps ad mitted during the preliminary hearing tt Chadron and at a subsequent police investigation i.t the city council cham ber that she went back to Chadron with the avowed purpose of "uncover ing some questionable methods of the detective association," and to accom plish those ends she double-crossed the detective association by making catspaw of Detective Philto Winckler, who had preceded her to Chadron and who was on the Hood case. She began her ooerat!ons at Chadron by posing as "Mm, Ellen Lowry of Omaha," a woman who was going to establish j residence to obtain divorce. So far j as Winckler knew, until the "blowup" - she was working as his confidante and in the interesta of the detective asso ciation which had engaged her. Mrs. j Phelps contended that the people she . is now fighting conspired to blackmail Crites and the Hoods and claims to have been present in Crites', office on ine nignt ot May M, wnen trie "big scene" occurred. ;" ', "I am quite convinced, they wfll be enable to make a ease against tnv clients. I doubt even if the jdge will allow the case to go to the jury," commented Attorney Baker before he entrained for Alliance tyterday. German Losses; -' " In FlandersAre !;.

The German Reichstag adjourned, leaving behind it a latent crisis which oolitical ob servers believe will lead sooner or later to the retirement of Dr. Mi chaelis, the chancellor, without a fol lowing. t Although other parties are less actively in opposition to Dr. Mi chaelis than the socialists, not a voice has been raised against the Vorwaerts' slogan Michaelis Must Go. Recent arrivals from Berlin report that current gossip there is that Michaelis can scarcely last a month. The chancellor's blunder in springing the disclosures of the alleged naval plot against which, according to the National Zeitung, he was strongly ad vised, and his failure to make head way against the Reichstag majority, appear to have lost him the conserva tive and pan-German support. t The speeches at the concluding ses sion of the Reichstag must be read in a light of the expectation that the days of Michaelis are numbered.

Our allotment is nearly exhausted. You can make a substantial saving on Hudsons now. Do'not put off buy ing yburs until it is tdo late. You know the popularity of the t Hudson. When former cheaper, cars could be bought at $200 to $300 less than the Super-Six, no two of them had sales equal to those of the Hud son. Now over fifty other makers of automobiles have advanced their prices from $100 to $700 since the first of January, and the Hudson price remains the same. Is it any wonder that Hudson sales are larger than everthat the de mand is so great? - , , The schedule of production for an automobile factory calls for a defin ite output for a year. Materials are purchased and the cars alloted to dealers. When these cars are sold, materials bought on a later market go into the next production. Materials today cost considerably more than they aid a year ago, and so Hudsons will cost more. Other makers have had to increase their prices but their materials were exhausted long ago: Hudson was more fortunate. ' This is an opportunity to buy a car that has a world record for perform ance and endurance. Over 40,000 now drive Super-Sixes. It is the largest selling line car. We can fill a limited number of orders for immediate purchasers. VtilJDSON 7af GUY L. SMETH ' "SERVICE FIRST" 2S63-6S-S7 Farsam S treat. ' Omaha. Doaglaa 1970
