RECALL RESULT
OF EFFORTS TO
BETTER POLICE
Mayor Defends Commissioners
on Grounds of Inexperi
ence; Has No Fear of
Outcome.
"It would be a thousand times
better if Commissioners Ure, Towl
and myself should be recalled than
Dean Ringer," declared Mayor Ed.
P. Smith, speaking at the Plymouth
Congregational church yesterday
' morning.
"If Ringer should be recalled" it
will make a moral coward of every
man who takes the police commis
sioner job in the future," the mayor
continued. "It is the result of Mr.
Ringer's efforts to improve the po
lice department that has started the
recall movement. The interests
which have lost control of the po
lice department are trying to put the
recall over."
Mayor Smith urged the people of
the Plymouth Congregational
church to register and vote. He de
clared he had more respect for the
person with convictions, even if he
did vote for the recall, than the per
son who was too lazy to register
and ignored the city's politics.
Admitting that many mistakes
had been made by the council and
that many more would probably be
made. Mayor Smith explained that
five of the present city commission
ers had never held public office be
fore, and had found difficulty in
mastering their duties.
"The police department has
wrecked more commissioners than
any other commissioner job," the
mayor declared. "It is the same in
every city in the country.
"Personally I will welcome the
filing of the recall petition," the
mayor concluded. "It will clarify
the atmosphere, and we have no
fear of the result. If the state
should vote on the recall it would
be defeated by a 10 to 1 vote. I
believe it will be defeated "by the
voters of the city.

v of Further Riots
in Chicago Over
Chicago, Aug. 3. Adjutant Gen
eral Frank S. Dickson of Illinois,
and Chief of Police Garrity were en
tirely satisfied with conditions in
the race riot zones today, they said.
The militia and police continued to
maintain order with only a few
minor disturbances, and Chief Gar
rity said he believed the danger of
further rioting was ended.
With the exception of an attack
on Capt. A. R. Wehrheim, G com
pany, Fourth reserve militia, who
was fired on ami stabbed by three
negroes, and the forming of a white
mob In the stockyards district early
this morning, no outbreak of con
sequence had occurred since Thurs
day. The captain will recover, it
is said.
Six hundred whites were dis
persed only after a machine gun
mounted on an automobile had ap
peared and militiamen with fixed
bayonets had prepared to charge
them.
While police are slowly being
withdrawn from the negro district
today the sheriff was , swearing in
former soldiers as special deputies
and expected to have between 1,000
and 2,000 on duty in the riot zones
tomorrow.
" Chicago Soldier Killed.
Chicago, Aug. 3. Sergt. E. W.
Gropp of the 110th regiment, -eserve
militia, was killed tonight by the ac
cidental discharge of a machine gun
mounted on an automobile.
"You Pay for the Dinner."
"I am afraid I startled you," Trent
heard the voice of Mr. Cupples say.
He forced himself out of his stupe
faction like a diver sUiking upward
for the surface, and with a rigid
movement raised his glass. But half
of the wine splashed upon the cloth,
and he put it carefully down again
untasted. He drew a deep breath,
which was exhaled in a laugh wholly
without merriment. "Go on," he
said.
"It was not murder," began Mr.
Cupples, slowly measuring off in
ches with a fork on the edge of the
table. "I will tell you the whole
story. On that Sunday night I was
taking my before-bedtime constitu
tional, having set out from the hotel
about a quarter past ten. I went
along the field-path that runs be
hind White Gables, cutting off the
great curve of the road, and came
out on the road nearly opposite that
gate that is just by the eighth hole
on the golf-course. Then I turned
in there meaning to walk along the
turf to the edge of the cliff, and go
back that way. I had only gone a
few steps when I heard the car com
ing, and then I heard it stop near
the gate. I saw Manderson at once.
Do vou remember my telling you I
had seen him once alive after our
quarrel in front of the hotel? Well,
this was the time. You asked me if
I had, and I did not care to tell a
falsehood."
A slight groan came from Trent.
He drank a little wine, and said
stonily: "Go on, please."
"It was, as you know," pursued
Mr. Cupples, "a moonlight night;
but I was in shadow under the trees
by the stone wall, and anyhow they
could not suppose there was any one
near them. I heard all that passed
just as Marlowe has narrated it to
us, and I saw the car go ott towards
Bishopsbridge. I did not see Man
derson's face as it went, because his
back was to me, but he shook his
left hand at the car with extraor
dinary violence, greatly to my
amazement. Then I waited for him
to go back to White Gables, as I did
not want to meet him again. But he
did not go. He opened the gate
through which I had just passed,
and he stood there on the turf of the
green, quite still. His head was
bent, his arms hung at his sides, and
he looked somehow . . . rigid.
For a few minutes he remained in
this tense attitude then all of a sud
den his right arm moved swiftly,
and his hand was at the pocket of
his overcoat. I saw his face in the
moonlight, the teeth bared and the
eyes glittering, and all at once I
knew that the man was mad. Al
most as quickly as that flashed
across my mind, something else
flashed in the moonlight. He held
the pistol before him, pointing at his
breast.
"Now I may say here I shall al
ways be doubtful whether Mander
son intended to kill himself then.
Marlowe naturally thinks so, know
ing nothing of my intervention. But
I think it quite likely he only meant
to wound himself, and to charge
Marlowe with attempted murder and
robbery.
"At that moment, however, I as
sumed it was suicide. Before I knew
what I was doing I had leapt out of
the shadows and seized his arm. He
shook me off with a furious snarl
ing noise, giving me a terrific blow
in the chest, and presented the re
volver at my head. But I seized his
wrists before he could fire, and
clung with all my strength you re
member how bruised and scratched
they were. I knew I was fighting
for my own life now, for murder
was in his eyes. We struggled like
two beasts, without an articulate
word, I holding his pistol-hand down
and keeping a grip on the other. I
never dreamed that I had the
strength for such an encounter.
movement I never knew I meant to
do it I flung away his free hand
and clutched like lightning the
weapon, tearing it from his fingers.
By a miracle it did not go off. I
darted back a few steps, he sprang
at my throat like a wild cat, and I
fired blindly in his face. He would
have been about a yard away, I sup-
ftose. His knees gave way instant
y. and he fell in a heap on the turf.
"I flung the pistol down and bent
over him. The heart's motion ceased
under my hand. I knelt there star
ing, struck motionless, and I don't
know how long it was before I
heard the noise of the car return
ing. "Trent, all the time that Marlowe
paced that green with the moon
light on his white and working face,
I was within a few yards of him,
crouching in the shadow of the furze
by the ninth tee. I dared not show
myself. I was thinking. My pub
lic quarrel with Manderson the same
morning was, I suspected, the talk
of the hotel. I assure you that every
horrible possibility of the situation
for me had rushed across my mind
the moment I saw Manderson fall.
I became cunning. I knew what I
must do. I must get back to the
hotel as fast as I could, get in some
how unperceived, and play a part
to save myseit. l must never tell a
word to any one. Of course I was
assuming that Marlowe would tell
everyone how he had found the
body. I knew he would suppose it
was suicide; I thought everyone
would suppose so.
"When Marlowe began at last to
lift the body, I stole away down the
wall and got outi into the road by
the clubhouse, wherehe could not
see me. I felt perfectly cool and
collected. I crossed the road,
climbed the fence, and ran across
the meadow to pick up the field
path I had come by, that runs to
the hotel behind White Gables. I

ADELE GARRISON'S New Phase of
Revelations of a Wife"
From mechanic to electrician to
traveling salesman to assistant sales
manager to husband are steps taken
by Bert E. Bauer of the Master Sales
Co. during the last six years. Events
have happened in rapid succession
in his young life and now he is ask
ing, "What next?"
Anything around an auto has a
fascination for Bauer. Electrical
appliances are his specialty, and
nothing seems to give him quite as
much pure joy as .tackling some
knotty electrical problem that some
custon.et on the road has saved to
have him solve.

six years he has been traveling over

"Out of breath," repeated Trent
mechanically, still staring at his
companion as if hypnotized.
"I had had a sharp run," said Mr.
Cupples. "Well, approaching the
hotel from the back I could see into
the writing room through the open
window. There was nobody in there,
so I climbed over the sill, walked to
the bell and rang it, and then sat
down to write a letter I had meant
to write the next day. I saw by the
clock that it was a little past 11.

service as an electrical authority and
greets his customers with a lead-me-to-it

During the war Bauer was forced
to forsake his usual mode of life and
help Uncle Sam solve his electrical
troubles. He was stationed at Fort
Omaha in charge of storage batter
ies on cars and trucks.
Not only does Bauer fail to balk
at mechanical troubles, but he even
showed his disregard for marital
short circuits by bestowing his

Trent at last in a hollow tone. "A

Governor Thinks New Measure
Has Power td Deal With
Profiteering in the
State.
By P. A. BARROWS.
Lincoln, Aug. 3. (Special.)
With the new administrative code
law in effect the people of Nebraska
will watch with a great deal of in
terest its workings, for they have
been told that while it will to a cer
tain extent revolutionize the busi
ness methods of the state, it is
guaranteed to gwe beneficial results
if given a chance.
That Governor McKelvie is sin
cere in his belief that the code will
work out in a beneficial way, hard
ly any one will dispute. The gov
ernor has been in the habit of put
ting new things into effect in his
private business and being rewarded
with results eminently satisfactory.
His confidence in the beneficial
workings of the new code law
should stand for something in the
face of the fact that he has been in
close touch with similar action taken
in other states successfully.
Control Profiteering.
Governor McKelvie has said that
the code Jaw had within its pro
visions sufficient power to start
things in regard to profiteering,
consequently in the face of recent
acts of the special session ot the
legislature, the result of the work
ings of the new law in that regard
will be watched with a great deal of
interest.
One thing which will help things
materially is the probable action of
the federal government to punish
the profiteers. If the federal gov
ernment will give its attention to
the big fellows, there is little doubt
DUl mat lcuraaKi uu iiauuic uic
local situation. But with the fed
eral government passive, any state
attempting to go after the situation
would orobablv find itself up against
a hard proposition in which the big
fellows or the country wouia con
centrate their energies in an effort
to win the first round in the con
troversy. Wholesalers Punish Retailers.
One of the worst propositions
which has come to the attention of
capital city consumers is the action
of certain wholesale firms in trying
to punish retail dealers who have
attempted to buy direct from the
producer.
One story goes that a certain
apple grower came to town with a
proposition to sell certain merchants
apples at so much per barrel. Tne
matter came to the attention of a
certain wholesale dealer in the city
and the grocer was told if he bought
apples of the farmer he would have
to buy all the rest of his food prod
ucts of the farmer as he could do
business no more with that whole
sale firm. The result was that the
merchant was compelled to turn
down the farmer, for the only place
he could buy the other things he
needed in his business was from the
wholesalers.
"If the new code bill can bring
about a solution of that problem,
allowing the merchant to buy where
he can get goods the cheapest, it
will have performed a great thing
and the people pf the state can truly
feel thankful that the law is in op
eration in spite of the referendum.
The Way Madge Met Dicky's
"Surprise."
"That's a corking good idea,
Rita," Dicky spoke in such cordial
heartiness in answer to Rita
Brown's sneering suggestion that I
be blindfolded in order to be more
completely surprised by whatever
the boys had brought from the city
that for a moment I thought he
didn't realize the girl's real motive,
her attempt to make us all appear
absurd. Then, as he approached
me, pulling one of the extra hand
kerchiefs which he always carries
from his pocket, his left eyelid
drooped to his cheek in a prolonged
wink, while his face was tilled with
mischievous understanding.
My spirits bounded at the smile
of comradely comprehension that
beamed at me as he flourished the
handkerchief. It was a smile which
relegated Rita Brown to the hether
most outland.
The Surprise Revealed.
"Now I've got you. where you'll
stand without hitching," he declared
merrily, as he turned me around, ad
justed the handkerchief, and then,
slipping his hand under my arm,
guided my footsteps across the
lawn. I knew that we were going
in the general direction of the Dur
kee home, and was not surprised
when my feet struck the gravel of
the old-fashioned carriage drive
which winds around the house.
We had been surrounded on our
brief journey by the others, and
laughing admonitions to Dicky flew
thick and fast when he finally stop
ped. "Not that way."
"You're half a mile off your
course. Turn sou' by sou'west."
"Turn her so that she'll see it first
thins."
"Don't make her hunt for it."
Only Rita Brown's voice was
silent. I could visualize through
my confining handkerchief, the
ironical superior smile her face was
wearing.
"Who's doing this?" Dicky de
manded, taking me by the shoulders
and turning me half way round,
"There, now, it'll hit her spang be
tween the eyes. Don't open your
eyes until I say 'ready,' Madge," he
admonished fumbling with the
handkerchief.
I obediently kept my eyes closed
until my husband's rather theatrical
call of "ready." When I did open
them it was upon the sight of a big
touring car, with the" beautiful lines
and appointments characteristic of
the costlier machines.
Out From Silence.
Apprehension mingled with the
first flash of pleasure with which
any woman views a new automobile.
This must be the surprise, and from
the bantering remarks I had gather
ed that Dicky and Alfred Durkee
were joint owners of the machine. I
knew that our circumstances didn't
warrant the purchase of such a car.
and the knowledge took from me all
the pleasure I would otherwise have
experienced at the sight of the car.
"Vou wasted your effort I Mrs.
Graham doesn't appear to be over
whelmed either - by surprise of
pleasure."
Rita Brown's drawling, ironical
tones were like the touch of a whip
lash. I would not permit her to
imagine for one moment that I
didn't wholly approve of my hus
band's purchase. With a little ex
clamation of pleased surprise which
directly addressed Dicky and ig
nored her remark as if I had not
heard if. I moved toward my hus
band, clasped my hands about his
arm.
"Oh, Dicky I" I said enthusiastic
ally. "Isn't it wonderful? You
fairly took my breath away with the
surprise of it. Is it really ours, in
part?"
I caught a flash of relief in his
eyes, saw that he, too, had observed
my momentary hesitation. Then he
bent his head fondly toward me,
laid , his hand for an instant over
mine, clasping his arm.
"It belongs to you and her little
ladyship over there," he said. "Alf
and I are simply the chauffeurs. So
you really like it?"
"Like it?" I threw all the fervor
I could manage into my voice and
smile. "It's a dream fulfilled, dear.
When may we try it?"
I could not forbear a swift, little
glance, to all appearances casual, at
Rita Brown. She was watching me
closely, her eyes still holding its
cool, ironical look. I knew that I
had not deceived her, that she had
read correctly my dismay at the
sight of the costly car. But I also
knew, and hugged the knowledge to
me, that I had scored heavily against
her feminine cattishness. She is
the sort of women who cannot bear
to see anything masculine devoting
himself to any one else when she is
present.
Dicky's absorption in my ap
proval, his cool ignoring of her sar
casm, must have been about as pal
atable to her as the traditional diet
of gall and wormwood.
