$4,000,000 DEAL
FOR NEWSPAPER
UNION NOW OFF
Eastern Financiers Fail to Ex
ercise Option on Stock and
Property of Omaha News
Service Company.
Negotiations for the sale of the
Western Newspaper Union, with its
principal offices in Omaha, to New
York financiers have been declared
off. The reason assigned is that the
intending purchasers failed to exercise
their option.
According to announcement last
night the late George A. Joslyn
shortly before his death gave an op
tion on the entire common stock of
the corporation, amounting to nearly
$4,000,000, to Herman Kohlsaat of
Chicago.
This option was lenewed by the
heirs and legatees of Mr. Joslyn and a
time limit of December 1, 1917 hxed in
which to close the transaction.
Three legatees, the Visiting Nurses'
association, the Child . Saving insti
tute and the Old People's home, held
$ou,UuU each of the stock ot the news
paper union. The boards of director!
of these institutions consented to the
sale of their stock.
Earned Eight Per Cent.
Practically all of the rest of the
stock was held by or for Mrs. Joslyn,
widow of the founder of the company.
It is understood that Mrs. Joslyn was
to receive a figure less than par for
her holdings, but that she insisted on
the legatees being paid face value for
their stock.
According to public records the
company earned quarterly dividends
of 2 per cent during the last five years
and had accumulated a surplus of
more than $400,000. This in ordinary
times and under conditions making a
continuance of the earning capacity ot
the company reasonably certain would
have fixed a valuation of approxi
mately $200 per share on the stock.
Buy American In September.
In the meantime the Western
Newspaper union, acquired by pur
chase, ail the stock and property of
the American Press association, its
largest and practically its only com
petitor. That deal was completed last
September. The purchase price was
not made public. At that time the
announcement was made the con
solids. io.. had been effected because
the Western organization could oc
cupy the same field and by enlarg
ing its offices in numerous cities oc
cupied by the American and es
tablishing branches where the Ameri
can was established, the service could
by more economically carried on.
Fish Tells of Deal.
Herbert H. Fish, vice president and
general manager of the company, last
night told of the calling off of the
deal. He said:
"There is really not much of public
interest in it. Mr. Joslyn during his
lifetime made an arrangement with
some eastern parties to dispose of the
Western Newspaper Union. When he
died the deal was pending and the
option had not expired. Subsequently
the parties sought and obtained from
the estate an extension of time and
the matter rested in that shape until
last month when it was expected the
transaction would be consum.' ated.
"It became necessary for the trus
tees of the Child Saving institute, the
Old People's home and the Visiting
Nurses' association each of which held
some of the stock of the corporation
at legatees of Mr. Joslyn, to consent
to the transfer of their stock
"So confident were all persons con
cerned that the deal would be com
pleted that the stockholders were no
tified to put their holdings in a bank
so that it might be readily paid for.
That was dene, but at thejast mo
ment the purchasers failed to exercise
their option and it expired December
1. All the stock was returned to its
owners and matters now stand in the
same position as before."
Board Not Notified.
Mrs. C. C. Belden, a member of the
Old People's home board, said she
had not heard that the option had ex
pired or that the New York interests
had failed to take over the property.
The December meeting of the board
was held Thursday, she sa!d, and at
that time no report was made.
The whole question of the re-investment
of the funds, Mrs. Belden
said, was left in the hands of the
Peters Trust company with power to
act, subject to approval of the board.
It was understood that the stock
of all the legatees under the Joslyn
will were to receive par for thtir hold
ings. Each of them was willed $50,-
000 worth of the stock. The re-invest
ment of the funds is said to have been
entrusted to the Peters Trust com
pany by at least two of the boards
and possibly all three.

HERE'S ONE MAN
WHO BEAT DRAFT
George 'Randolph of Wayne
Surmounts Many Difficulties
in Effort to Farm, Get Edu
cation and Enlist.
Here is one man who has success
fully steered the ship of his private
fortunes through the rocks and whirl
pools of the selective draft to the goal
of his personal ambitions. "Use your
head," is his motto now, "and it all
comes out as slick as a good checker
game," he says.
George Randolph, 28, of Wayne
Neb., came down to the district ex
emption board some time ago with
grievous troubles on his mind. He
said that a few years ago he was up
to his ears in debt and at the same
time possessed with a great desire to
get a university education and maki
the most of his life and his abilities.
To accomplish this end he had thence
forth two great ambitions. First to
earn enough money to get Out of debt,
and second to earn enough more to
get his education.
Goes On Farm.
He went out on a farm determined
to earn that money by sheer pluck and
hard work. And he did.
But in the. midst of his struggles
war was declared. When the first
draft was called he did not have quite
enough to pay off his debts so. he
pleaded his exemptions as an agri
cultural laborer and was exempted.
But by the time bis harvests were
in this fall he had paid off his debts
and had the couple of thousand dol
lars he needed to get his education
at the state university. Here was
where his problem began. If he left
the farm to go to the university the
cause of his exemption would be re
moved and he would automatically
become liable for service and be sent
to Camp Funston. If he remained on
the far.n under the protection of his
exemption as a farmer he could not
get his education. He did not want
to farm. He wanted an education. He
was on both horns of the dilemma
with arms and legs waving and no
rescue in sight.
Appears Before Board.
Finally, however, he solved the
problem apd appeared before the dis
trict exemption board here, tun ot
enthusiasm. He demanded that his
exemption be removed and he be
allowed to join the navy.
"Its tust the thing, he said en
thusiasticallv. "Don't know why I
didn't see it before. I can serve the
country and get my education all at
one crack and a dad blamed good
education, too, at that. Best in the
world. I want to join today."
There was some difficulty. In the
first olacj the governors permission
to allow him to enlist had to be 6b-
tained. It finally came through. But
on examination at the recruiting office
he was turned down on account of his
eves.
1 his was a poser. In the first place
the verv fact that he asked to enlist
constituted an annuument ot his ex
emotion and made him liable to the
draft. If the navy refused him he
could not go back to the farm nor to
the university, and his education
would eo all! to smash I
But Randolph was not a man to be
downed. He went back to the re
cruiting office and fold them that if
there was anything wrong with his
tests it must have been in the ma
chinery, as his eyes were O. K., and
no mistake! He finally won and
passed the second examination. He
is the happiest man in the service to
day and getting his "education." "the
best in the world, by . gum,' troth

EVA LANG WEDS
JACK HALLWAY
OF DENHAM CO.
Denver, Dec. 9. (Special Tele
gram.) John Halliday, leading man
in the Denham theater stock com
pany, this morning took out a licence
to marry Miss tva Lang, also play
ing the leading roll in the same
company. The ceremony was per
formed this evening in the presence
of a few close friends.
Halliday is the former husband of
Camille Personsi. a New York
actress, who divorced him on the
ground of desertion, the decree being
granted in Ne- York, October 9 last.
Halliday todty denied the report
circulated 18 months ago that he had
secretly married Miss Ethellyn Clark,
vaudeville partner of Joe Howard,
whose wifei committed suicide in
Omaha in April, 1916.
A few weeks prior to that time
Howard threatened Halliday's life.
it was then reported, because of the
supposed infatuation of Miss Clark
and Halliilay for each other.
Halliday and Miss Lang have
signed to play leads with the Na
tional Film company beginning in
January.

ODOR OF BURNING

STRICKEN CITY
Fires Blaze in Spots and Snow
and Ice Hamper Heroic
Efforts of Rescue
Workers.
(By Associated FT.)
Halifax, Dec. 9. Right in the heart
of the burned area, fires starting
Thursday, blaied tonight like bonfires,
and the crowds moving along the
rough snow paths caught something
that made the atmosphere well nigh
unbearable. It was odor of burning
flesh.
The flames leave little trace and
this fact may give substance to the
new official estimate of 4,000 dead
There was no accurate census of the
population of the Richmond district.
Families came and went and when
whole families were lost there was no
one left to report their deaths.
There are dismantled buildings in
the rows of streets that have not yet
been dragged down. The walls lean
at dangerous angles ant! the window
blinds, coated with ice, kept up an
all-day flapping as the wind swept
through. There are piles and piles of
rums that no available force at nre
sent here can clear away in weeks.
Not much will be found to help solve
the maddening riddle as to the num
ber gone.
Refugees in Tents.
Going out from the business section,
the newspaper correspondents ob
tained ine nrsr vivia impression m
passing a wide, snow-covered park,
with 600 tents in which part of the
homeless were being supplied with
food and heat. There were not
houses enough to shelter them, but
the fact stands out that while the city
was stunned Thursday, it provided
quarters for every person in distress.
The tent quarters were comfortable
without doubt.
Between this tented park and Rich
mond, are the morgues. A four-story
school building, badly damaged by
the jar, is the main morgue into which
hundreds tramped today in search of
the missing. B-t the view was heart
breaking to those who feared the
worst, for the bodies were burned and
blackened to such an extent that the
only chance of identification lay in
the possible finding of a trinket. Of
the 300 in this morgue, not more than
50 bodies had been claimed tonight.
Eight hundred probably have been re
covered. '
jnow Delays Search.
Many of the injured died at relief
stations while being removed to hos
pitals and . elsewhere. Heretofore it
has been more or less guesswork, but
the officers in charge of the morgues
fixed 4,000 as the number, this being
based on reports from officers who
had made a general survey of the
burned section.
With everything buried under the
snow, the search today was delayed
while the main, forces w. devoting
attention to the injured. All vehicles
have been , comm'arideered. An aged
man on. his way to search for his wife
was held up and the s'.eigh taken from
him.
An officer explained in a kindly way
that it was a life and death matter to
take care of the wounded. Without
protest he , gave up the rig. This
merely illustrates the wonderful spir
it of the entire community;
Guards stood, all around the ruined
part of Halifax, but this wa for form
rather than for fact.
"There never is any looting in Hal
ifax in time of trouble like this," the
authorities announced today in dis
posing of the inquiries concerning
looting.

Christian association in meeting the
social, industrial and moral problems
which war brings to women and chil
dren. The Carnegie foundation appro

John R. Mott, secretary of the in
ternational committee of the Young
Men's Christian association, is inter
ested in this work. In a letter he
states. "In spite of all provisions being
made to create a zone of moral safety
around the camps, the moral and re
ligious welfare of the soldiers depends
in large measure upon the oc!al con
ditions in adjoining communities. We
are eager to have the women't, associ
ation meet this responsibility for the
protection of girls and women. Work
ers for girls and men should co-operate.
Christian women have given
remarkable service in the British and
Canadian armies."
The-association -seeks to build

GINGER, PEP AND
FUN GALORE IN
ROSELAND GIRLS
Solly Ward starts out at the open
ing of "The Roseland Girls" as "Her
man Sousebuilder, the vegetable
king." He appears later on as :
hilarious policeman, a seasick steam
ship passenger, a "Johnnie" at a stage
door, a peJdler of neckties and shoe
strings, and finally as a more or less
brave sheriff in a wild west town.
And in every character he is a con
tinual fun maker. His accent is gen
erally Ociman, but it becomes Yid
dish in the last half and always he
has a Charlie Chaplin smile.
The show opened a week's engage
ment at the Gayety yesterday to full
houses. The people seemed to have
advance word that this is an extra
good show. "The Roseland Girls'
starts out with the declaration that
it isn't going to have a plot, and the
large cast of principals and chorus
sing a song to that effect. Instead of
the plot, the song says, they re going
to give the audience "speed, ginger,
beauty and fun." And the show lives
up to the promise. There is novelty
in this show. There are nine scenes.
and each is put on artistically. There
are pirate scenes, scenes on ship
board, scenes in the wild west. And
in every one is the fun of Ward and
ths "pep" of his company, particularly
Stella Wood, who is "Pep" in the first
half of the show and "Happy" in the
last half and lives up to her name in
both instances.
Elsie Bostel, Esther Delaur and
Evelyn Burnett, Harry Coleman and
Don Trent are all able assistant fun
makers. A toe dance in the first act
by Charlotte Turner and a song trio
by M. Hunter, Burdette Hunter and
Harry Chick in the second act were
specialties that made big hits.

NO CHANCEN0W
TO FIND BANKER
Phoenix, Ariz., Dec. 9. (Special
Telegram.) Satisfied that H. J. Lcf
ferdink, 2618 Garfield street, Lincoln,
Neb., is dead and that his bones are
bleaching somewhere on the desert
near here, W. T. Auld of Omaha
today asked the police to institute a
search for the man who has been miss
ing since November 7. He said Lef
ferdink formerly conducted a bank at
Denton, Neb., but removed to Lin
coin after disposing of the institution.
Later he came to Phoenix expecting
to locate here- In October h. wrote
his wife in Lincoln that he had de
cided to end it all, declaring he in
tended to go out on the desert and
walk until he was obliged to give up
and then lie down to die, leaving hi
body as "food for the buzzards."
A telegram sent November 7 asking
if his letter had been received was the
last word from him. The aid of Mr.
Auld, who is wintering here, was en
listed by Clinton J. Campbell, a Lin
coln attorney.
Willis Reed Addresses
Members of Douglas Bar
Attorney General Willis E. Reed
addressed the members of the Omaha
Bar association at the Commercial
club Saturday evening on certain fea
tures of the draft questionaire and the
part the lawyers are expected to play
in the administration of the selective
draft law under the new system.
The attorneys were each given the
254-page "Selective Service Regula
tions," instruction book prepared by
the government. The lawyers were
advised to study this book as they
would the statutes of the state.
Hundreds of cases in the first draft
had to be brought up for reconsidera
tion by the district exemption board
because men did not know the steps
to take in making their exemption
pleas or failed to make their cases
clearly and completely and in the
proper form. (
The Bar association urges its mem
bers to co-operate with the govern
ment in making the next registration,
which is to begin December 15, as ac
curate and exact as possible.
