Julius Mauss Said to Have
Infatuation for Daughter
of Neighbor, Who Put
Him Under Bonds.
Julius Mauss, a wealthy farmer
living near Crescent, la., was
'brought to Council Bluffs yesterday
and placed under bonds to keep the
peace. The chief complainants were
members of the family of George
Collins, also a prominent farmer,
but the information upon which
Mauss was arrested was signed by
-Martha Collins, 17-year-old daugh
ter. , It is alleged that Mauss has con
ceived a violent infatuation for the
; oung girl. Although he is more
than twice her age, he has been
pressing hi3 suit with a vigor that
has alarmed,' the family. Yesterday
,he stopped her, it is asserted, and
made advances that she construed
to be threats.
Neighbors were called in and the
whole history of the man was gone
over. Mauss owns two large farms,
and in September last neighbors be
came concerned at the manner in
which he was treating his live
stock.
Sent to Clarinda.
lie was brought before the in
' sanity commissioners and sent to
. Clarinda. After a short stay there
'lis condition improved and he was
paroled in care of a guardian.
His sister, Mrs. Emma Cowles,
wife of a prominent Omaha con
tractor, was appointed guardian, and
John C. Wharton, former Omaha
postmaster, was the attorney for
the estate.
' Mr. Wharton came to Council
Bluffs yesterday and was presenting
an application to Judge W heeler for
the discharge of the guardian and
the restoration of Mauss to his legal
sights when the man was brought
in by Sheriff Groneweg's deputy.
',, . Judge Refuses Application.
"I don't think you want this man
discharged, Mr. Wharton," Judge
Wheeler said, after whispered in
formation had been given him. "His
neighbors and friends are greatly
concerned over him and he is now
in. the hands of .the sheriff down
stairs." '
The peace bond was fixed at $500,
and Mauss offered the amount in
War Saving! .. stamps. When the
officers went to his place last fall
they found an open 10-gallon lard
can filled with war bonds and
stamps, ral estate mortgages,
It was entirely unguarded.

Picturesque Mayors in Sashes
of National Colors From
All Walks of Life Wei- .
come Wilson.
By Associated Press.
Turin, Italy, Jan. 6. President
Wilson today wound up his visit to
Italy by a tour of Turin, which gave
him another tumultous welcome,,
quite as hearty as the greetings he
received at Geno? and Milan. Al
together, however, the greeting was
more orderly.
Again thousands of persons
flocked the streets and rent the air
with shouts of "Viva Wilson, God
of peace" and similar expressions.
Leave for Paris.
After a round of receptions, which
included the freedom of the city
being conferred upon him, a lunch
eon at which the cardinal was pres
ent and where the president made a
speech, and a visit to the university,
where an honorary degree was con
ferred upon him. President Wilson
and his party departed for Paris,
where they are due to arrive to
morrow. The most picturesque feature of
President Wilson's visit here was
the gathering of more than a thou
sand mayors of cities and towns in
Piedmont to Rreet him. They came
from the hills, the fields and the
valleys, and virtually every little
crossroad community was repre
sented, as well as the large cities.
Each of the mayors wore a sash of
the national colors. They represent
ed all walks of life and every condi
tion ot society.
Represent Communities.
There were among them pros
perous bankers, merchants, cultured
leading citizens, shy country men.
typical village blacksmiths and
artisans, each, representing the heart
of his community.
Ihe mayors passed before the
president in a lone line and each
received a smile and a hand clasp.
some ot the mayors were so shy
that when they looked in through
the door at the brilliantly lighted
reception room they had to be drag
ged inside by their friends. Some of
them kissed the hand of the presi
dent. Others bent their knees in
low bows. One of the men as he
passed the president muttered the
only English words spoken, "Good
day, Mr. Wilson."
Thousands Pack Square.
Crowds of thousands packed the
square before the palace of the
Duke of Piedmont and heard Presi
dent Wilson from the balcony de
liver a short speech. The crowd
was so great and was kept so far
away that few among it probably
heard the words of greetings the
president uttered, but none the less
the people were enthusiastic. Thous
ands of hats were tossed in the air
and there was a continuation of the
cries of "Viva Wilson."
Later at a luncheon, President
Wilson, responding to the welcome
accorded him, he repeated the words
of his Milan speech of Sunday
night, dealing with the sufferings of
the working classes for their part
in the war and telling the men of
Turin that while peace was to be
made in Paris it was their business
to continue to carry on their ef
forts for a lasting peace.
The war had been won, the presi
dent said, at a great price not of
blood and treasure alone, but of suf
ferings and hunger of women and
children and the loss of hopes and
ambitions, all of which made neces-i
sary the guaranteee of a lasting
peace. '-.)..
Wilson in Good Spirits. i
While the demonstration for.
President Wilson was in progress
in Jront of the palace, several men
circulated among the crowds, dis
tributing pamphlets in Italian con
taining former President Roose
velt's comment on President Wil
son's 14 points for peace. At one
point of the march through the city
the air was filled with fluttering
papers, which turned out to be argu
ments addressed to President Wil
son, pointing out why he should
support Italy's claims to Dalmatia
and to other territorial expansion.
The president evidently was in
good spirit throughout the day, al
though he was tired from constant
travel and speech making. Never
theless, he entered into the happy
spirit of all the demonstrations, at
times leading the bands with ges
tures, while the crowds cheered. At
one time he threw kisses to the
crowds with both hands.
FIVE BODIES OF
JOHNSON FAMILY
BURIED TODAY
Will Be Laid to Rest in Old
Home; Barnes May Be
Buried in Potters'
Field.
Onawa, Ia.f Jan. 6 (Special.) A
coroner's jury today found that the
five members of the family of Wil
bur Johnson, found dead in their
home Saturday on Holeman island,
near that place, were "murdered 1 y
William Barnes, who afterwards
committed suicide by shooting him
self." The bodies of Mr. and Mrs. John
son, their 9-year-old son; Mrs. Jones,
the daughter, and her 2-year-old son
were sent to Missouri Valley, la., to
night. The funeral will be held there
tomorrow and interment will be in
the cemetery at Magnolia, la., the
old home of the Johnsons.'
It is not known yet what disposi
tion will be made of the body of
William Barnes. His father lives in
Florence, and he has a sister living
in Tekamah, Neb. The sister has
asked that the body be sent there,
and, if the money for the casket and
funeral expenses is advanced, this
will be done, according to the Onawa
authorities. If not, burial will be in
the potters field at Onawa.
How Barnes Lost Arm.
Barnes lost his arm during April,
1894, and thereby hangs a story
which has been related many times
in Washington county and the coun
tryside. Twenty-five years ago the Barnes
family owned a farm near the river,
nine miles northeast of Blair. Pat
Quinlan of Blair owned land ad
joining the Barnes tract, but had
difficulty keeping renters on his
place on account of the troubles
caused by Barnes. In April of
1894 Mr. Quinlan and his son, Billy,
announced their determination to
occupy their land, and they served
notice on the Barnes family. When
the Quinlans appeared on the scene,
a pistol battle ensued. Billy Quin
lan, directing a 45 caliber Colts,
shot William Barnes' right arm off.
Harrison Barnes, father of the
Barnes boys, suffered a wound. ' 'ie
Quinlans then ordered that the two
wounded men should be removed
from the scene. On the next day
the Barnes advertised their farm for
sale.
The Barnes family comprised
three sons, William, Samuel and
Ross, and four daughters, one of
whom now resides in North Omaha.
Harrison Barnes, the father, lives in
Florence. William Barnes has been
in Omaha frequently during the
last few months. For several years
he has engaged in hunting and trap
ping near Decatur, Neb. He mar
ried Miss Henson, an English girl
of Blair. She killed herself, and a
daughter recently took her own
life.
Shortly after his', marriage Wil
liam Barnes wras convicted for steal
ing hogs and was sentenced to the
penitentiary, at Fort Madison, la.
Billy Quinlan, who put a quietus
on the Barnes reign of terrorism, is
now living on a farm at California
Junction, la.
The Barnes family moved to
Washington county from Kentucky
25 years ago.

ON QOESTI0N OF
ADI1TIC COAST
Issue Presented by Serbia Has
Not Been Definitely Con
sidered by American
Envoys.
Paris, Jan. 6. The attitude of the
United States toward the treaty be
tween Italy and France, Great Brit
ain and Russia relative to the east
ern coast of the Adriatic has not
been clearly defined as far as known.
In stating the line to which the
Austrian troops must retire, the
armistice outlined the frontier as it
is defined in the treaty. This was
accepted by the inter-allied confer
ence, but it is understood that Col.
E. M. House, the American repre
sentative, stated that the designation
of frontier as it stood in the treaty
between the four nations was not
to be taken as expressing any posi
tion by the United States on that
treaty.
The same situation was again pre
sented when American warships par
ticipated in carrying out of the na
val clauses of the armistice with
Austria. The occupation of ports was
made largely under the supervision
of the Ital'an navy, which had a
large number of warships along the
eastern coast of the Adriatic. -The
Jugo-Slav element there manifested
some opposition, but owing to the
delicacy of the issues involved, the
question of America's attitude, one
way or the other, was deferred.
Article 4 of the treaty provides
that the future treaty of peace will
give to Italy the Trentino, the whole
of southern Tyrol, the cities of
Trieste, Gorizia and Gradisca, the
province of Istria and the Istria
islands.
Article 5 give Dalmatia and the
Dalmatian islands to Italy. Other ar
ticles deal with Albania and zones in
Asiatic Turkey in case of Turkey be
ing broken up.

WEST FRONTIER
NEAR CAPTURE
BY BOLSHEVIKI
Dark Age Tortures and Out
raged Girls Offenses Charged
to Ukrainians at Lem
berg and Kiev.
By the Associated Press.
Warsaw, Saturday, Jan. 4. The
names of Vilna, Lemberg and Kiev
are being written in blood-red let
ters along the western frontier of
Russia, and scores of smaller cit'es
lying between the cities also are
being destroyed by the bolsheviki.
According to trustworthy reports
reaching Warsaw, the bolsheviki are
adding tortures of the dark ages to
the customary horrors of guerrilla
warfare.
The Poles are making a gallant
defense of Lemberg with limited
means, but the bolshevik Ukrainians,
aided by German guns and German
gunners, slowly are destroying the
city. The besiegers are estimated
to number 50,000, commanded by
former Premier Holubowicz of the
Ukraine, who also was chairman of
the Ukrainian peace delegation at
Brest-Litovsk. The Ukrainians
threaten the water and electric sup
plies of the city, while food is be
coming very scarce. Only a few
of the c'vilian population have been
able to escape from the city.
Cruelty Unparalleled.
The Polish troops are being aided
in the defense of the city by many
citizens of Lemberg, including girls
and boys.
The archbishop of Lemberg is au
thority for the statement that girls
taken prisoners by the besiegers are
outraged and tortured. The arch
bishop says that the cruelties of the
bolsheviki have no parallel in mod
ern history.
Kiev, the Ukrainian capital, which
has been relatively quiet for the last
month, is rapidly getting into the
hands of the bolsheviki. The separ
atist leader, Petlura, is declared to
have reached an agreement with
Trotzky and Lenine and Russian
bolshevik troops are spreading
southwestward. The terms of the
alliance between Petlura and the
Moscow government are said to pro
vide that the two states shall retain
their mutual independence and that
no obstacle shall be permitted to
prevent the teaching of bolshevik
doctrines.
The German troops in the Ukraine
appear to have been unable to re
move their munitions. Stores valued
at 18,000,000 rubles are said to have
fallen into the hands of the bolshe
viki at Kiev.
On the northern end of the line
the Poles are striving to protect
Vilna from the bolshevik flood.
To Be Dismissed First.
Washington, Jan. 6. Commanders
of combat divisions in the United
States were authorized today to dis
charge first from their forces those
men whose allotment papers show
they have dependents, and second,
such men as would be affected ad
versely in obtaining civil employ
ment as a result of being held fur
ther in service.
