COMMITTEE OF
500 WILL STAND
BY THE COUNCIL
Seek to Enlarge Membership
at Services of North Pres
byterian Church; Many
Sign.
At the North Presbyterian church
Sunday morning, prior to the regu
lar preaching services, Robert A.
McEacheron announced that it is the
desire of the officers of the Com
mittee of 500 that the membership
be increased, that the committee"
work may be extended and made
more effective and far reaching.
Mr. McEacheron asserted that the
Committee of 500 came into exist
ence a short time prior to the last
city election and that it was instru
mental in electing a majority of the
members of the city commission.
"Now," said he, "certain influences
are at work, seeking to prevent
these members from obtaining an
enforcement of the law, especially
the law that applied to prohibition.
"Members of the committee have
and propose to stand behind the
members' of the city commission,
whose election they sought and an
effort is now being made to enlist
the services of additional citizens
of Omaha who are in favor of law
and order."
Many Sign Cards.
Following the remarks of Mr. Mc
Eacheron, cards were signed by a
large number of the members of
the church. The card pledge fol
lows: "The committee of 500 is a good
government organization devoted to
law enforcement and to placing in
office men who will enforce the law.
Its purpose is to keep its members
informed as to real facts of local
government and as to the records of
public officials.
"This committee will commend
public officials where it can do so
and criticise where it must, and de
fend them against unfounded at
tacks." Discussing the topic, "Parents
Dedicating Their Children to God
for Ministry," Rev. J. M. Wilson,
the pastor, urged the importance of
religious home training for children,
not alone with the idea that they
might become ministers and teach
ers, but that they might be prepared
to take part in doing God's work.
He urged the importance of a col
lege education for ministers, taking
the position that such an education
had a tendency to broaden their
views and aid them in obtaining a
better understanding of the work
which they would be called upon to
do in the ministry.
Seeks Highest Standards.
Rev. Mr. Wilson contended that
men for the ministry, in order to at
tain the aims sought, must be thor
ough in their work, love it and seek
to reach the highest standards at
tainable. For the ministry, he urged
that those who are most successful
are called and if not so called, there
can be little hope of their ever be
coming great teachers of the gospel
truths.
Awakes to Find Prowler
Entering Her Window
Mrs. Ruth Peterson, 909 North
Seventeenth street awoke at 3
o'clock Sunday morning to find a
man crawling in her bed-room win
dow. She screamed and he seized
her by the throat.
"Yell again and I'll kill you," was
his greeting.
Mrs. Peterson struggled with her
assailant and succeeded in freeing
herself from his clutch. Another
scream brought downstairs roomers
to her door. The man fled.
Detectives Haze, Farrand and
Lundeen scoured the neighborhood
for the man but failed to locate him.
Mrs. Peterson was unable to give
any description of her early morn
ing visitor.
Make Kilts Smaller.
London, July 20. Curtailment in
the amount of cloth used in the kilt
worn by Scottish troops has saved
$115,000 to the government. The
Scottish troops did not resent the
innovation, and to all appearances
their kilts are as full and as pictur
esque as ever.

Crowd of 35,000 Fans See
Murphy-Did-Its Take Lead
In Greater Omaha League
Defeat Ernie Holmes' White Sox By Score of 5 to 1
Pitcher Hay of Visitors Allows But Five Hits While
Seven Bingles Are Garnered From Moore- Game
Played Under Protest. v
By WILLIAM O. BLOZIES.
Before a crowd of ,35,000 enthus
iastic fans and spectators, who were
on their feet continuously, cheering
their favorites on to victory, the
Murphy-Did-Its defeated the Ernie
Holmes White Sox at Thirty-second
and Dewey avenue, yesterday after
noon, by the score of 5 to 1, thereby
breaking the tie for first honors in
the Greater Omaha league with their
opponents.
The game was hard fought from
the moment Pitcher Hay threw the
first ball, until the final out was
made by the Holmes batsman in the
ninth round.
Fast and sensational fielding, good
base-running and gilt-edge pitching
marked the contest. On account of
the crowd it was necessary to es
tablish ground rules and hits into
the crowd went for two-baggers.
Many of the two-base hits made by
the br.tters of both teams would or
dinarily have been easy outs or sin
gles. Hay in Good Form.
Pitcher Hay, who has the distinc
tion of being the best hurler in this
part of the state, having won seven
games, six of which were of the
shut-out order, was on the firing line
for the Murphy's and pitched great
ball, allowing but five hits, which he
kept well scattered. He whiffed six
men. Jimmy Moore, also consid
ered one of the best crack southpaws
in the city, was on the mound for
the White Sox and pitched a nifty
game, allowing but seven bingles,
and struck out four men.
Hay was the best in the pinches,
and the Holmes batsmen were un
able to hit when hits meant runs.
In the second with two on, they
failed to tally, and again in the ritth
with Moore on third aind King on
second, McAndrews went via the
strikeout route. Again in the eiglh
Jimmy Moore Doubled, went i.o
third on McAndrews out, but died
their when J. Sutej went out thud
tion first.
The Murphy's scored the first run
of the game in the second inning,
when Harry Williams doubled, went
to third on Senyk's bunt and scoied
on King's error, took third on Dy
gert's sacrifice and scored on Clair's
sacrifice fly to right.
One more was added by the Mur phy's
in the 4th, when after one down
on doubles by Synek and Lawier.
Th Murphy's scoring ended in the
fifth frame, after they scored a pair.
Dygert walked, took second on
Clair's sacrifice, and scored on Wii
liam's second double to center. Wil
liams scored a moment later on
Synek's double.
The Holmes made their lone tally
in the first of the fourth, when Jim
Sutej singled, took second on George
Sutej's sacrifice and crossed the p'iae
on Holbrook's smashing double to
left.
The game was somewhat delayed
on account of Catcher Harry Wil
liams of the Murphys. Williams
caught the first game for Pa
Rourke's team, and after that game
was over he was rushed over in a
machine to catch for his team. Mov
ing pictures of the crowd and teams
were taken, which will be shown in
one of the local theaters this week.
Played Under Protest.
The game was played under pro
test from the first inning. Holbrook
of the Holmes, who was on first
base, led off a little and in trying to
get back, Pitcher Hay hit him on tho
shoulder, the ball going into left
field. Umpire Tom McQuade called
Holbrook out.for interference. After
a little wrangling the Holmes agreed
to finish the game, under protest.

Many Forfeit Games.
Since the 1919 amateur season is
practically over in the various
leagues, many of the tal-end teams,
whose chances for the pennant are
slim or who are entirely out of the
running, have been forfeiting their
games, and yesterday seven teams
failed to show up for their scheduled
affairs.
In the Inter-City league all of the
games were of the forfeit order, the
Harley-Davidson's forfeiting to the
Beddeos, the Curo Mineral Sprngs
to the Hardng Creamery company
and the John Day Rubber company
to the Highland Park Pharmacy.
Two fast and exciting 10-inning
affairs were staged in local circles
and the fans who were in attendance
at Miller and Riverview parks were
well entertained.
At Miller park, the Bowen Fur
niture team sprung a big surprise
when they defeated the Union Out
fitting company, 1919 champions of
the City league, by a 4 to 3 score,
10 rounds. Southpaw "Slim" Wil
hume, who was on the firing line for
the furniture crew pitched gilt
edged ball, allowing but six hits and
whiffing a quintet. Nufer, who
pitched for the champions, was re
lieved by Stucker in the fifth and
also hurled a nifty game, although
the Bowen's scored their winning
tally off him in the 10th, when
Grimm doubled and scored on
Pheffer's single.
Hollander's Hitting Feature.
The feature of the game, besides
the twirling of Wilhume, was the
hitting of Eddy Hollander, crack
outfielder, who made his second
consecutive home run, Grimm, Pncf
fer and Delahanty and the fielding
of Koehler.
The McCaffrey Motor Co-Wiliard
Storage Battery contest was post
poned and the Omaha Printing Lo.
forfeited to the Mickle Victrolas.
The other 10-round battle was
staged at Riverview park, between
the Beselins and the Hermansky
Pharmacy teams of the Gate City
league, and resulted in a 4 to 3 vic
tory for the Pharmacy crew. Other
games in this loop were as follows:
the Townsends winning from the
McKenney Dentists 12 to 4, and the
Omaha Printing Co. Juniors, lead
ers of the league, were awarded a
forfeit from the Reno Billiard Par
lors. The Reno Billiard Parlors, by
failing to show up, have forfeited
their franchise in the league, as they
have forfeited two consecutive
games.
The Benson Merchants dropped
a pair of tussels losing the opener
to the Ramblers by a 4 to 0 score,
with Carl Ramm on the moundaud
the last to the World-Herald team
by a S to 3 score, with Karbowski
in the box. Errors were practically
responsible for the Merchants de
feats. The Leavenworth Merchants
forfeited their contest to the Trim
ble Brothers. The World Herald
and Trimbles, by winning yester
day, are still holding their own,
with the Herald by one game in the
lead for first honorsin the Booster
league. j
A meeting of that organization
will be held this evening at the city
hall.
One Game in American.
Only one game was staged in the
American league, the Riggs Optical
Co., leaders, easily defeating the
Universal Motor Co., by a 19 to 0
score. Jim Baumgardner, on the fir
ing line for the Riggs, allowed but
two hits and struck out 13 men,
while Curt Peterson, who made his
initial appearance in the box for the
Motors, was hit to all corners of
the lot, the Riggs scorekeeper being
unable to keep track of the hits, ac
cording to the management of the
victors. Tom Baumgardner's double

Corbett Disagrees
With Pecord's Ruling
on Willard Knockout
New York, July 20. James J.
Corbett, former heavyweight cham
pion, roundly scored Referee Ollie
Pecord a few days ago for deciding
that Willard was knocked out in
the third round by Jack Dempsey at
Toledo.
"I never heard of such a queer
ruling," declared Corbett, "and I
consider it very unfair. In my opin
ion Willard was knocked out in the
fourth round and I'll tell you why.
"The third round of three min
utes ended with Willard on his feet.
He wasn't beaten when he walked
to his corner. The ensuing rest of
one minute counted for nothing. If
the bell for the fourth round didn't
ring, for the sake of argument, Wil
lard wasn't actually defeated until
10 seconds of what would have been
the fourth round had elapsed.
"I have been asked by many per
sons to decide bets made on a
knockout and I shall decide that Wil
lard finished the third round, but
was stopped in the fourth. Record
has made a sad mistake and has
burned up many thousands of dol
lars. He should have been guided
by common sense, which shows that
Willard when he went to his chair
after the end of the third round,
hadn't been declared the loser, and
consequently wasn't 'out' in that
round. !
"I have no personal reasons for
differing with the referee's decision.
It is simply a matter of fair play
and I am surprised that there should
be any controversy over a point that
is a clear as a crystal."

My Heart and My Husband
ADELE GARRISON'S New Phase of
"Revelations of a Wife"
How Lillian Played "The Ace."
There must have been some spe
cial significance to the woman at
bay before us in the information
Lillian had Just given her concern
ing my father's connection with the
service. At Lillian's assertion "Mr.
Spencer has for years been known
as 'Robert Gordon,'" she started,
grew perceptibly paler, while an
expression in which amazement and
chagrin mingled and spread over
her face. Even the sullen, baffled
rage which came into her face at
the verbal flaying which Lillian latei
gave her did not wipe the almost
awed wonder from her countenance.
At Mr. Drake's low call from the
door to the man in the hall she
pulled herself together with a swift
ness, a sureness that compelled my
admiration, even through my thor
oughly justified loathing of the
woman. She was evidently pre
pared to bluff magnificently to the
last possible moment.
Defiant to the Last.
Allen Drake's assistant appeared
first, stood in the doorway, cool,
alert, attentively waiting for his su
perior's next directions. The slink
ing, furtive figure I lir. l discerned
in the shadow of the hal.way in the
next street was out of sight, but
I knew that he must be close behind
the first man.
Lillian looked searchingly at the
woman.
"Sure you want to see this ace of
ours?" she asked quietly. "I warn
you it won't prove a very agreeable
experience."
I looked at Lillian in surprise. It
was not like her to be ungenerous,
yet I could see that she was deliber
ately playing the woman before her
as she would a huge, ugly fish, al
most gloating over the turmoil
which she knew existed in the other
women's mental processes. Then I
remembered that I had seen a fam
iliar strtak of apparent cold-blood-ncss
in my friend before when her
sympathies and anger had been
arousei' by the sight of injustice
or cruelty. Generous to a fault her
self, more than ordinarily kind, she
can be relentless as deatli itself
when her sympathies have been out
raped, her sense of justice attacked.
The woman was keen enough to
know what Mrs. Underwood was do
ing. She threw up her head de
fiantly. "Bring on whatever you have."
she snarled. "I'm getting tired of
this."
Again Lillian looked at Allen
Drake significantly. He in turn
nodded to the man at the door, who
immediately turned his head in the
direction of the outer hall. There
was a silence, a sort of cold inevit
ableness about the whole proceed
ing that chilled me. I felt almost
as if I were watching an execu
tion. "Just Sign This."
Then through the door slouched
the furtive figure I had seen in the
shadowed hallway. He evidently
stood in wholesome awe of the serv
ice operative who had escorted him
to the room, and his eyes appraised
Allen Drake's languid figure with a
look of respectful admiration. Evi
dently Mr. Drake's indolent air did
not deceive him. I suspected that
he had been told before he came
whom he was to meet, for he gave
no start of surprise when he saw
the woman who had whirled at his
entrance and stood gazing at him
with every bit of color drained from
her face, with her mask of com
posure stripped from her at last. She
shook as with a palsy as he spoke
to her.
"Hello, Jen! At it again, eh?"
She turned away from him, in her
face mingled fear and loathing,
spoke wearily, abjectly.
"I'll sign anything pou say, do
anything you wish if you'll only
promise to keep that man away from
me."
''You must think I'm anxious for
your society, sweetheart," the man
began, a menace underneath his ap
parent jocularity.
"That will be enough from you,"
Mr. Drake spoke briskly. "Just re
member from now on to keep away
from this woman unless we send
for you. We have even more on
vo-i thar we have on her, remem
ber." "All right, boss." His swift
change to humility was almost

Central Union Trust Company of New York, Trustee
For information regarding these notes, reference Is made to the letter of Mr. J. W. McQueen, President
of the Company, which is on Gle with ns, and which is summarized as follows:
The Notes will be direct obligations of the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron Company. The properties and plant of
the Company, aggregating in value over $25, 000,000, are free from mortgage or other encumbrance, with the exception
of an issue of $2, 000,000 First Mortgage Six Per Cent. Bonds, which mature February ist, 1920. From the proceeds of
of these Notes $2,060,000 will be deposited in escrow with the Central Union Trust Company of New York for payment
at maturity with interest, on February ist, 1920, of a like amount of First Mortgage ponds. This will leave the
Company's plant and properties entirely free and clear of any mortgage or other encumbrance.
. The balance of the proceeds will be used for completing the erection of the Company's by-product coke ovens, for
building a central power station, for electrifying the coal and ore mines, for the acquisition of additional ore properties,
and for other general improvements.
The Trust Agreement under which the Notes will be issued will provide, among other things, that so long as any
of the Notes are outstanding the Company will not mortgage any of its real or personal property (except the Company
may give purchase money mortgages and in the regular course of its business may pledge its current assets, etc.,) and that
the Company will pay the sum of $300,000 annually into a Sinking Fund to be applied to the purchase and retirement of
notes at not exceeding 105 and interest, thus cancelling approximately 50 of the total issue before maturity.
