Y00I16 WOMAN
TRIES TO MAKE
A DEATH PACT
.Woman Offers Doctor $1,000
for Sleep-Producing Drug
That Will Kill Her;
Foiled by Police.
Anxious to end her life because
of ill health and financial worries,
Gertrude Beatty, 28 years old,
sought to make a death pact with
Dr. Willard Quigley at his office,
124 Farnam atrect, last Sunday aft
ernoon. . She offered Dr. Quigley $1,000 in
cash if he would lurnish a sleep
producing drug that would result in
death.
He endeavored to detain her until
police could come, but she left his
office after making an appointment
for Monday night.
Detective in Office.
Monday night Dr. Quigley had
Detective Joseph Wavrin waiting in
his office when the woman arrived.
She was arrested and taken to the
city jail where she is held in custody
of the matron.
Miss Beatty formerly lived at
Lichfield, Neb., but for some time
had been working in Omaha at the
Union Pacific railroad shops.
At the police station she declared
she had been defrauded in a land
deal by relatives and gave that inci
dent as one of the reasons why she
had decided to end her life.
Miss Beatty's mother up until a
short time ago had been living in
Omaha and was active in City Mis
sion activities. She is now at Lich
field, but wired Omaha police she
would he in Omaha Tuesday to care
for her daughter.
Wanted Easy Death.
" Asked why she went to Dr.
Quigley for poison, she said: "I
didn't want to die a violent death,
so I went to him and asked him
to give me something to go to sleep
and never wake up. He promised
to do it, but he went back on me
and had a detective waiting at his
office."
"The first time the woman came
to mc," Dr. Quigley said, "and
asked me to give her poison I
thought she was joking.
Counted Out Money.
"I told her to get a gun or turn
cm the gas. Then she said she was
serious and offered trie $1,000. She
counted the bills out on iny desk.
"I slipped out of my office and
called the police, but she got away
before they came.
"Last night when she called again
I had one of the detectives there
and had her arrested. I think she is
mentally unhinged."
' Detective Chief John Dunn said
lie would hold the woman in jail
until she was examined by an in
sanity board.
Women Witness Bouts
Between 13-Year-OId Boys
Hundreds of persons, mostly wo
men, saw two local championship
bouts between 13-year-old boys at
Father Flanagan's Home , for Boys,
4606 South Thirteenth street, Tues
day night. The contests were de-
rlared draws, and were the first box
ing matches witnessed by many of
the women.
A men's choir of 40 voices sang
patriotic and popular songs. The
occasion was the second night of a
fair being held by St. Rose's parish.
The fair will continue all week.

"Follow th Beaton Path," , 15th and
Club Women Opposed to
Movie Censorship; Pail
To Go On Record as Desire
Organization Adheres to Precedent and Sticks By State
Federation Though Members Express Themselves
as Strongly Opposed to Bill That Is Being Pre
sented to the Legislature.
Club precedent won a victory over opposition to the
state censorship of moving pictures bill now pending in the
state legislature, Tuesday, when the Omaha Woman's club,
after two hours of stormy debate on amendments to the pro
posed bill, voted to endorse the bill as amended, because they
were expected to do so by reason of previous endorsement by
the State and General Federation of Women's clubs.
As the matter now stands the Wo-Q'
man's club took the unique posi
tion of endorsing a proposition to
which the majority ot its members
do not subscribe in order to main
tain the equilibrium of organized
clubdom.
Many Factions Appear.
Debate on the' bill and amend
ments introduced by Mrs. W. S.
Knight, chairman of the education
al and better film committee of the
Woman's club, rent the meeting,
which was a special one called to
consider the censorship bill, into as
many factions as there were women
present. No two women present ex
pressed the same views or interpre
tation of club practices.
When the smoke of the stormy
session cleared, members found they
had done these things unique in
parliamentary practice, at least:
Passed two hours amending a bill
they did not endorse; coerced into
unfavored action by the autocracy
of club precedent and that nobody
had asked for any amendments to
the bill they discussed only for
their support. Which was not
forthcoming.
Mrs. C. W. Hayes and Mrs. Wil
liam Berry were the only two pres
ent who expressed unqualified sup
port of the bill.
When the call came to clinch the
lengthy discussion by a final motion
to endorse the much-mooted bill,
house roll No. 355, no one could be
found to ''mother" the motion.
Mrs. W. S. Knight, Mrs. Edward
Johnson, Mrs. Berry and other mem
bers of the educational or "better
films" committee after much "pass
ing the buck," individually and se
verally refused to make the motion.
Mrs. Knight was the one who pro
posed the amendments.
Mrs. Cole's Question.
To the pointblank question asked
by Mrs. F. H. Cole:
"Does the educational committee
which has the moving picture work
in charge favor or reject the bill as
amended?"
Mrs. Johnson replied:
"It is not fair to ask us. We
have submitted the bill and amend
ments. It is up to the club to act."
Mrs. Knight said: "There are
some things in the bill we do not
like. We are only submitting to
you a workable bill. We do not
say we endorse it."
Mrs. A. L. Fernald, president of
the W oman s club, would take no
stand either for or against the bill.
'I refuse to commit myselt, she
said.
So the members continued m a
quandary until Mrs. M. D. Cameron,
general federation director, an
nounced the ruling that the Wo
man's club was pledged to support
the bill by reason of action taken in
the state convention held in Nor
folk last year. "The General Fed
eration of Women's clubs and the
state fe deration have initi
ated this movement. The state presi
dent, Mrs. A. E. Sheldon, helped
draft the bill. "You are expected
to endorse it," she told the women.
Then Miss Kathedire Worley made
the motion' to endorse the bill as
amended by the Woman's club, ex-
nresslv stioulating that this was
done in view of previous action by
the higher powers.
The vote in tavor was weaK. rit-
teen out of 28 present when the
final vote was taken voiced their
opinion.
. Mrs. L. MJ Lord led tne opposi
tion to the Censorship bill and to
the discussion of amendments.
Don't Give Approval.
"We don't aoorove of the bill;
why should we waste time amend
ing it? it we endorse tne oni, even
with amendments, you can t get
away from the fact that we ve en
dorsed it which we don t. It
would have to be changed a lotbe-
fore it would meet wan my ap
proval. It doesn't specify anywhere
from where the censors are to be
chosen. What's to prevent a man
from Cherry county censoring films
in Douglas county? Arid why
should we nav the expense ot a
censor to come from Lincoln to
censor films when there are plenty
of competent people in Omaha to
do it?" Mrs. Ford wanted to know.
Mrs. E. M. Syfert took the stand
that the Omaha Woman's club had
never pledged itself to tavor cen
cirthin nf movinor Dictures.
"Our policy in the past has al
wavs been one for a constructive
rairnaicn for co-oneration rather
- . . ... , , j
than rensorshiD. VVC nave pieugeu
ourselves to provide better films for
ch dren. not to go into censorsnip,
she said.
Why Endorse It?
'Vti must we endorse a bill to
...i,;,-t, , An tint annrove iust be
cause we endorsed the principle of
censorship at the state convention :
asked Mrs. S. A. .Collins and Mrs.
. 1 r. T I, II 1 r .... ' an
t-awin s. jeweu. n "c tan 1 in
dorse this bill, let's leave it alone
until a better bill is proposed.
"If we can t endorse mis 0111, wny
notrh it fin With S. feW Slight
amendments? Why not make the
amendments so sweeping mat n
will cover all the points we wish
to make?" Mrs. Lee Edwards sug
gested.
"We don t want to ao anyining
radical: It's of no use for us to try
to eliminate all the objectionable
features," replied Mrs. Knight.
' Snttn voce rnticism ot Airs. n. c.
Sheldon, state president of the fed
erated clubwomen, was injected at
this point.
n non tavors tne censor
ship bill as it now stands. She and
othef women in Lincoln think it is
narOrt thp vav it stands, that it
nHi no amendments even. They
vnriaH vTezt suroHse that any
one would dare to criticize, it," said
Mrs. Knight.
"No club has done more than the .
Omaha .Woman's dub in the better
films movement, yet the local com
mittee was never asked what its
opinion was. When Mrs. Knight
went to Lincoln for the hearing of
the educational committee of the
legislature, she was not allowed to
speak because it was learned that
she did not favor the bill," said Mrs.
Lord.
Mrs. Syfert, too, voiced the opin
ion the discussion of amendments
was useless if the state federation
would not consider them. "Did any
one ask us for information or our
wishes?"
"We showered our reports to the
state but our better films committee
was never consulted when the bill
was drafted. We don't want to
foist our opinions on that body if it
does not care for them."
"Mrs. Sheldon instructed us that
it was our duty to keep quiet, if we
didn't care to endorse the bill. She
said we should make no-objections
if we didn t care to use our influence
with Douglas county representatives
to support the bill," Mrs. Fernald
the president, said.
Support for Sentiment.
Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Berry and
Mrs. Hayes supported the senti
ment which finally prevailed, name
ly, to fall in line with state and
general federations to endorse the
bill.
When the meeting adjourned,
Mrs. E. M. Syfert, former president
confided an interesting fact.
The, whole meeting was illegal
because rules for the call of a spe
cial meeting had not been conformed
to. Three whole days must elapse
from the publication of the first no
tice of a special meeting until it is
held, according to the constitution.
The first call was printed Saturday
night, therefore the meeting could
not have been held until luesday
evening, said Airs, syiert.
Amendments to the bill proposed
by Mrs. Knight provided for a $1
fee instead ot a Si tee tor eacti l.uuu
foot reel, and that this fee be reduced
when sufficient funds have been col
lected to pay for the expense of
maintaining the censorship bureau;
that said funds be used exclusively
for censorship; that part of it be
done in Omaha since the film ex
changes are here and that posters
should conform to the reel story.
Famous Song Bird to
Appear in Omaha at
Auditorium March 7
Mme. Frances Alda, soprano, the
famous songbird of the Metropoli
tan Ooera comcanv of New York,
will- appear at the Auditorium, Fri
day evening, March 7, as the tnird
number of the "All-Star" concert
course.
Those who have heard Mme.
Alda's voice, know it to be a full,
vibrant instrument of genuinely love
ly tone; one that yields instantly to
the requirement of the most drama
tic music and still is so flexible that
it is quite as effective in the delivery
of eminently lyric phrases calling
for the smooth, flowing mezza-voce
so rarely found.
As a soloist in concerts partici
pated in by symphony orchestras
and choral organizations, Mme.
Alda ' has frequently disclosed her
splendid complement, while in song
recital her soprano invariably com
pels admirations of the sort gained
by only one or two other singers now
betore tne pUDiic. rreparea ai au
times with a repertoire embracing
the standard arias, oratorios and
classic song literature, Mme. Alda's
interpretative resource is such that
enables her to invite the bestowal
of the loftiest praise.
Oratorial Contest at the
Creighton U. This Friday
The annual Creighton oratorical
contest will be held at the Creigh
ton unversity auditorium Friday
evening at 8 o'clock. Thomas J.
McGovern will discuss "Internation

will be another of the orations.
Ralph Neary will talk on "Self

Ralph E. Svoboda will discuss the
question of the freedom of the seas.
Logical Way to Build Strength
Most Tonics Work Indirectly-Father John's
Medicine Gives Direct Results .
Many so-called "Tonics" are merely stimulants) of ap
petite or some of the digestive functions. In themselves
they contain no tonic properties whatever but depend
wholly for their effect upon whatever the patient may hap
pen to eat. ! ' .
Father John's Medicine does its work in a different
and more logical way. It is itself of great food value in
fact scientists have proved beyond question that a tea
spoonful of Father John's Medicine is six times more nour
ishing than the same quantity of pure milk, seven and
one-half times more nourishing than the same quantity of
oysters, five times more nourishing than cod fish.
This real food in Father John's Medicine is in a form more easily
taken into the system and made over into new flesh and. strength than
the same amount of food taken as diet. , The system that is weakened
and run down readily absorbs the rich, pure nourishment contained in
Father John's Medicine and that is why so many people gain strength
and flesh steadily while they are taking this old-fashioned, wholesome
family medicine. The absolute guarantee that Father John's Medicine
contains no alcohol or dangerous drugs in any form makes it of even
greater value as a food tonic for every member of the family. Adv.

STOCKMEN 60 ON
STRIKE AGAINST
SMALLCABOOSES
Refuse to Ride on Single Car
Furnished by Union Pa
cific and Get Old
Day Coach.
Twenty-four ranchers met at the
Stock Exchange building yesterday
and voiced a unanimous protest
against cabooses in general and
crowded cabooses in particular. The
men arrived yesterday morning on
the Union Pacific after going on a
four-hour strike at Grand Island, for
better accommodations.
'There were 30 of us crowded in
one short caboose, counting the
tainmen," exclaimed George Holton
of Eddyville, Neb. "Most of us had
to stand up, and there was scarcely
standing room. I believe there is a
law prohibiting men from standing
up in the caboose of a freight train.
We were all willing to obey the law
but there wasn't a chance.
"By the time we got to Kearney
we had decided something had to be
done. Someone suggested getting
up in front with our cattle but this
plan was overruled. When we got
to Grand Island we decided to de
mand better accommodations. J. M.
Downey of Sumner, Neb., as spokes
man, demanded another car. We re
fused to go any farther till we got
it. There were 27 stockmen in all
and when the train pulled out with
our cattle only three went along.
Four hours later we were furnished
was an old day coach and came on
to Omaha. Our cattle had all been
sold by the time we arrived."
The striking stockmen were:
Clharlra Eekhart, and F. A. Welta of
Milieu; W. A. Summer of EJilyvllle.
Henry Vv'ltte of Weiaer, Idaho; John
Fatadorf of Grand inland, John Landry

on other trips to the South Side

Government Physician
Talks on Social Hygiene
"Citizens should lend their support
to the Detention home, which I
consider a necessity," declared Dr.
Rodney Bliss, speaking an social
hygiene before a large audience at
the Grace Methodist church. South
Side, Sunday night. Dr. Bliss said
he had visited the Detention home
several times;
"The time has come to speak out
and call things by their right names,"
continued Dr. Bliss. , "I am glad
the government has begun to take
action in treating and curtailing so
cial disease."
Speaking at the same meeting.
Dr. William E. Edler, representing
the U. S. bureau of health predict
ed legislative mesures to combat
social disease. Dr. Edler declared
that the health of the civilian was
as essential as the health of a sol

cent of all nervous troubles is due

Railway Express
Company Campaign
for Better Service
Nearly a thousand shipments a
day are sent to the "no mark bu
reaus" of the American Railway Ex
press company, becau.e all means
of identification have been lost, ac
cording; to a statement made at the
better service campaign meeting of
the local express employes yester
day. At this rate 25.000 shipments
a month, or 300,000 a year, go
astray because tags or labels have
been torn otT, thus removing all
means of locating either the shipper
or the consignee.
General Agent Warner, who con
ducted the meetings of vehit". men,
platform men and ofiice employes,
laid emphasis on the fact that bet
ter packing and better marking
would cure this evil. As everything
movable is sent by express, the no
mark bureaus are great "junk
shops" containing a lot of miscel
laneous material which the txpress
company has gathered together be
cause delivery was made impossible
due to inadequate marking and
packing.
From July 1 to November .10, last
year, 127,8d9 shipments were re
ceived by the no mark bureaus, all
of which were cntircjy without
mark, or bore addresses that could
not be made out, or consigned to
destinations that did not exist. The
size of an article makes no differ
ences so far as these bureaus are
concerned, for even a..roplape&,
heavy machinery and nig castings
sometimes go astray for the lack of
an address. '
