All except Stephen Maloney of the
Omaha defendants were connected
with the Omaha Detective 'association
tt the time this case broke. Mr. Pip
kin recently left the association.
The nine men are charged with
Conspiracy to blackmail County At
torney Crites and Mr. and Mrs. Rob
ert Hood at Chadron last May. It is
further alleged in the complaint that
the conspiratprs contemplated de
manding that Crites sign an agree
ment to abstain from seeking public
office in the future and to droo boot
legging cases which were pending last
May. ' Mr. Crites is serving his fifth
consecutive term as county attorney.

Bath institute by Elsie Phrlps and a

. torney Crites. ,
; History o! Case.
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.

Want Phonograph Records
From Boys in Trenches
Washington. D. C. Oct 13. (Soe-
cial.) That mothers and relatives
may hear the voices of beloved ones
who are serving with the United
States marines in France a Massachu
setts woman has suggested that blank
phonograph records be forwarded to
the boys in the trenches.
buch records would prove dear to
every household trom which a son
is serving: it means that even though
he be killed in battle his voice can
still be heard by those he held most
ear," writes the woman to marine
corps officials here, who have taken
the matter under consideration.

thonties. One of the structures,
which are ownet by the New York

to the ignition of grain dust Super

explosion caused him to suspect in
cendiarism and th.- use of a bomb. It
was declared the loss would be
around $500,000.

mander Vilhjalmur Stefansson, noted

a five months' trip up the Arctic

Michaelis Must Go.
Copenhagen, Oct. 13. 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. The

We Have Only a Few
Hudsons To Sell
There is a scarcity of Hudson Super-Sixes at the
Present Low Prices. 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.
