"DOPE" ADDICTS
TELL THRILLERS
OF WO ORGIES
Fascination of Drug and Crim
inal Career is Enjoyed in
the Quaint Philosohpy of -Charles
Kerr and Wife.
Two of the most complete wrecks
jf humanity that have ever been held
It the central police station, Flor
tnce Bowen and Charles Kerr, drug
addicts of the most hopeless sort,
were turned over to the federal au
thorities Monday morning.
The couple, who claim to be man
and wife, were picked up at a house
on South Twenty-fourth street, Sat
urday night, sodden with morphine.
The woman was placed in a cell
-with four other fallen sisters and
the man in another cell on the
ground floor of the station, with a
number of drunks and casual of
fenders. , They both lay, the man on cold
cement and the woman on a steel
floor, in a seemingly unconscious
condition until about 4 o'clock Sun
day, when the two were seized with
terrible convulsions and tremors
that occasioned the other inmates
of the cells such alarm that the po
lice attendants were summoned.
A physician was called, who had
to administer opiates to quiet the
awful cravings, the mental delirium
and the physical manifestations of
igony that had seized them when the
effects of their orgy in drugs the
night before had worn away.
According to the tale KerrN tells,
Florence Bowen is one of the most
noted shoplifters in the country and
' he has had a long criminal record.
He says he and the woman are mar
ried, their mutual love of criminal,
adventure and drugs forming the
bond of affinity that has kept them
together through a varied career
that has lasted for years.
Kerr says lie is a member of a
highly respectable family of Kansas
and he is a graduate of Leland Stan
ford university. While still in col-
' lege and between two semesters, he
and a couple of companions, class-
; mates, equally wild, went to Okla
homa and held up a train. They
managed to escape detection for
some time, but were finally appre
hended for a criminal offense and
he was given his first penitentiary
1 sentence.
Since then he has put in much of
his time in prison and while in one
of the large penitentiaries of the
country he formed the dope habit
and it now requires 40 grains of
morphia to affect him.
; Kerr claims he has a peculiar
philosophy of his own. He says he
would rather undergo the thrill of
criminal advenfure, the agony of
craving for drug and the 'peculiar
elation that gratification gives than
obtain a cure and go straight in
life. ,
"My wife and I are human rats,"
said he. "We have sunk low in the
social scale, so low we are worse
than scum and dregs. Yet we would
not want to change our estate for
the monotony of respectibility. We
.suffer to the full extent of human
capacity, but we are recompensed
when the cause of our suffering ij
assauged. We have' no responsi
bility to ourselves,, families, society
.-anything. We are dead when
without the gratification of morphia
and in heaven when we get it. It's
a queer philosophy that makes is
content with our condition, but it
is ours a;ul we are not ashamed."

CHICAGO C.RA1X ANI PROVISIONS.
Corn Market Boomed By News Government
to Be Free Buyer.
n,. 14 Sudden notice that
th TTnlted States government would be
a free buyer of corn gave a whHwInd; up
ward sweep of lAHe to llc today to the
corn market. Transient weakness which
values had shown as a result of the Ger
man answer to President Wilson! in
quiries went Into complete eclipse. The
finish of trading was strong ai rrany
top prices of the session with November
$121 to (121. and December $1.18H to
(1 184, a gain of 6Hc to 7e. compared
with the close on Friday. Oats finished
2c to 214c, up. and provisions up due io
Rallies from sharp declines with which
the corn market had opened were well In
progress when a half hour after the be
ginning of business the secretary of the
Board of Trade appeared in the gallery of
the exchange hall far above the hundreds
of brokers In the pits and made pub.ic
the intention of the federal official! to
purchase large amounts of corn for No
vember and December delivery Instantly
there was wild rush on the part of the
crowd to follow suit. The greater part of
the exciting advance of about 11c from
the bottom figures took place in the next
five minutes. Then came numerous quick
successive breaks and bu'tres. with the gen
eral upward tendency, however, not In
terrupted except for brief Intervals.
Throughout the day, Investors as well al
shorts took hold In eager fashion.
Jumps In oats and provision! were due
wholly to the action of corn.
Bearish action of the corn market in
stead of an advance had been generally
looked for, but. the extreme decline
shown was only 4 cents, a break which
for a, war-time market was no' unusual.
Trsdmg on the break waa lively, though
by no moans one-sided, and the market
wai rallying 'when announcement that the
United State! government was to pur
chase large quantities of corn, November
and December delivery, led to a rush to
the bull side. Then values went soar
ing In earnest, and quickly reached 8c
above the early low point.
Opening prices, which ranged from 1
to 4q lower, with November (1.11 to 113
and December (1.09 to 1.11. were the
minimum. Reeoverlsa before the govern
ment buying program waa made known
amounted to 1 to 8c.
Oats swayed with corn. Changes, how
ever, did not exceed ordinary limit!
After opening unchanged to 2e lower,
the market, rallied to well above Satur
day's finish.
Provisions displayed an upward bent
from the outset Pork rose the maxi
mum allowed for a single day.

Trading Attains Greatest
Breadth and Volume of
Many Weeks; Peace
Shares Strengthen.
New Tork, Oct. 14. Discounting the out
come of momentous events over the double
hollday'the stock market today proceeded
on the theory that Germany's lntest over
tures had materially hastened the cessa
tion of the war.
This belief was heightened in the course
of the session when it becsme known that
Turkey had submitted an official note
through neutral sources, announcing Its
adherence to Washington's program as a
basis for peace negotiations.
Virtually every branch of the list
strengthened, though very disproportion
ately, in the active advance. Trading at
tained the greatest breadth and volume
of many weeks, but peare shares at all
times strengthened the market, notably
oils and shippings.
Ralls as a group were strong almost to
buoyancy, Pacifies as usual leading.
Orancers kept paee wi'h Atchison, re
cording an extreme rise of 8 points. Coal
ers nd numerous secondary rails, especial
ly western and southern shares were lifted
1 to 2 points. ,
Prices averaged highest levels In the
Insistent demand of the last hour, United
States Steel then rising from Its low of
10(i to 109-14, closing practically at Its
beatwlth a net gain of 2 points.
Related Industrials and equipments
registered gains of 1 to 2 points and spe
cialties of the peace class, such as new
harvester shares. General Electric, Tobac
cos, Leathers. Coppers and Motors held
much of their 2 to 5 point gains.
Advances of 3 to almost 10 points In
Royal Dutch, Texas company and Mexican
Petroleum were but allprhtly Impaired In
the extensive profit tnkine of the final
hour. Sales amounted to 975,000 shares.
Railroad bonds of the speculative di
vision were strong and Liberty Issues were
slightly higher, but foreign flotations were
little rhanTed. Total sales (par value) ag
gregated .$9,200,000. Old United States
bonds wore unchanged on call.

LIBERTY BOND
SALE IS STILL
BELOWQUOTA
Omaha $600,000 Short, Com
mittee Urges Everyone to
Speed Up and Threatens
Smoke Out Slackers.
The total sales of Liberty bonds
in Omaha up to Monday evening
were $9,915,750, or almost $600,000
short of the $10,500,000 quota.
The mens' and women's selling
teams report being almost through
soliciting, except for some clean-up
work, which is expected to bring
in about $100,000 more.
Where is the last half million
coming from? That is the burning
question. O. T. Eastman, county
chairman, has the answer.
"The last $500,000 will have to
come from the men who think they
have subscribel all they can afford,
but who have made no sacrifices.
If necessary they will have to go
to their banks and borrow money
to buy bonds. We will also go after
the financial slackers."
Round Up Slackers.
W. J. Coad's rating committee,
and Guy Cramer's Flying Squadron
are busy on slackers. Every team
in the city has been asked to .furn
ish from one to three men to help
build up the Flying Squadron,
which is now composed of 100
picked shock troops.
The Liberty Loan committee has
been watching carefully the meth
ods in other cities of dealing with
slackers. A paid advertisement
from a Rochester, N. Y., paper call
ing out a slacker firm struck a re
sponsive cord with the Omaha com
mittees. The Omaha committee has not
felt justified in going to this ex
tremity in smoking out the slackers,
but the adoption of this method, is
having serious consideration, an
nounces O. T. Eastmen.
The 'largest amount received
Monday, in response to the appeal
from headquarters for additional
subscriptions, was $25,000 from
Cudahy & Co.
Woman Slacker Cited.
One woman, who admitted being
worth $40,000 and owns only one
$50 bond, was called before the
council of defense Monday, bhe ot
tered to take $600 worth of bonds.
The subscription was refused and
she was notified that unless she
makes a satisfactory subscription in
24 hours the case will be referred
to the State Council of Defense.
The requests for 100 per cent in
dustrial emblems are numerous, but
it remains for G. D. Patterson of
the American Express company to
pull a new one, The 300 employes
c . this firm had 305 subscriptions,
totalling $42,800. The question which
is bothering headquarters is whether
to give him a 100 per cent emblem
or a special 100: per cent plus sign.

President, After Writing Peace
Reply, Urges More Buy
ing; Says Relaxation
Means Defeat.
Washington, Oct. 14. After
writing his reply to the German
peace offer, President Wilson to
night in a formal statement to thp
American people renewed his ur
cent reauest for support of thd
fourth Liberty loan.
"Relaxation now, hesitation now,
would mean defeat when victory
seems to be in sight; years of war
instead of peace upon our own
terms," said the president .
Coincident with the president's
statement the Treasury department
announced that with but five days
left in the fourth loan campaign,
half of the six billion dollar total
remains to be subscribed. That
means that the country must ln;
vest nearly one billion dollars a
day in bonds from now until Satur
day midnight, when the three
weeks' drive ends
Subscriptions officially reported
to the Treasury department now
total' only $2,798,419,950, but offl
cials were confident that reports
yet to be made on today s subscrip
tions would carry this total above
the three billion mark.
Country's Subscriptions.
The Minneapolis district claims
the distinction of being the first to
subscribe its quota, $210,000,000,
with every state over-subscribing,
but its final reports to the treasury
are incomplete because banks are
so short of help that the tabula
tions have not yet been completed.

Move Made to Protect
Illegitimate Children
Rice Firm : fancy

head, J0101ic;
cago, Oct. 14. Legislation; for
the. protection of "war babies" will
be sought during the coming year
by the American Humane society,
which has just concluded its annual
convention here.
"Illegitimacy," said W. O. Stillman,
one of the leaders of the organiza
tion, "is an increasing factor in so
cial developement. The war has
brought into eing a generation of
little ones without names."
"Illegitimate children have ac
quired comparatively few rights
since ihe day that Hagar and Ish
mael were turned out to wander in
the desert of Beersheba," said
Eugene Morgan of Columbus, Ohio.
, Here is the program the society
proposed for the redemption of war
babies:
Make it impossible for the puta
tive father to escape with a light
fine.
Give the child the father's name
and an equal share in inheritance.
Give the hi' I equal education
rights. '
Add no punishment to the sin of
the mother.
Treat the putative father, if he
shows a determined inclination to
escape all the consequences, as a
criminal dangerous to society and
not as a petty thief.
England, and France now are at
work solving the question of illegiti
mate children and the same ques
tion will be one of the important
phases of reconstruction in Arnerica.
according to officers of the organi
zation. While carryii. i thi fight in be
half of war babies, the society will
not slacken its efforts toward the
welfare of the worse, the dog and
otbef animals.
"The ' :e is not obsolete," said
Mr. Stillman, "and it has been dem
c i that the ho.": now is just
as .sary o carry on the opera
tions of war as it a tho 1
years ago. Attacks would fail and
defenses crumble if it were not for
a nunition and guns brought up
