OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: AUGUST 10, 1919. WOMEN CANNOT PICK DELEGATES ON CONSTITUTION Attorney General Gives Ruling " in Letter to President of Nebraska Suffrage Association. Hastings, Neb., Aug. 9. (Special) president of the Nebraska Suffrage association, Mrs. Charles H. Diet rich of Hastings, Attorney General Davis ruled that women may not vote at the primary elections to choose candidates for the constitu tional convention. v There have lieen different opinions on the right of women participating at primary elections, and the suf frage association had asked the at torney general for an official ruling. In the section of the session laws which relates to the qualifications of A'omen to vote in this state, they are specifically excluded only from vot ing for United States senators and representatives, and ofiicers desig nated in the state constitution, or on questions submitted to the voters, the matter of submission of which is specified in the constitution. The attorney general expressed the belief that since women may not vote for the ofiicers chosen at the primary, it would be fully illogical and unreasonable to hold that wo men may vote at the primary elec tion and here therefore gives it as the opinion of his department that women should not vote at the pri maries.

ALBERT CAHN Shirt Made to Measure 1322 Farnam St. Wrongly In Jail as Babe Drinks Poison She Asks $20,000 Chicago, Aug. 9. Mrs. Angelina Van Home is a blonde. And her story of woe hangs upon this cir cumstance. Recently she was arrested and identified as the "girl with blond haic, bobbed," who had given many bad checks. Two merchants who had been victimized said they were positive she was the girl. She was locked up for 36 hours. Her two small children were left alone in her home. When she was released on bail she rushed home to find that one of the children had drunk iodine. For four days the child's life hung tn the balance. Mrs. Van Home's husband, who was in the "army, returned from France, obtained a furlough and started to visit home. "But his mother persuaded him not to see me," the young wife said, "because I had been arrested." In the meantime two 15-year-old girls had been arrested and con fessed to passing the checks for the alleged uttering of which Mrs. Van Home had been arrested. "And so," said Mrs. Van Home, "the two merchants must pay." She has brought suit against each for $10,000.' Former Chairman of Defense Council Is , Suedjor $20,000 Hastings. Neb., Aug. 9. (Special Telegram.) Suit for $20,000 dam ages was filed in the district court here Friday by Harm J. Meestcr against Volney B. Trimble, who was chairman of the Adams County Council of Defense throughout the war period. The action grows out of the pub lication last August of an article for which Meester alleges Trimble was responsible. This article purported to relate the proceedings of the hearing of Meester before the offi cers of the council when he had been summoned to appear on the charge of disloyalty. Meester asserts in his petition that he was unable to read am! that if he signed any papers with a significance other than that he was loyal to the United States his signature to such statement was obtained fraudulently. This is the first suit here bearing any relation to war activities and its outcome will be watched with great interest. First Trade and Commerce Permits Given Lincoln Firm Lincoln, Aug. 9. (Special.)

The Ewart Grain company of Lincoln has filed with the State Railway com mission a protest against the Oma ha grain interests in which it al leges that transit privileges given Omaha puts Lincoln, Beatrice and some other towns out of competi tion and results in most of the grain going to the metropolis of the state. The rates complained of were put in effect by the Omaha division of the traffic committee of the United States railway administration. About all the State Railway com mission can do is to issue a protest to the national administration and wait patiently while the spirit moves. Proof That There Are Big Values ii.

Omaha British Say R-34 Is Reminder to Yankees of German Air Raids London, Aug. 9. The question which is interesting the leading officials of the air ministry possibly more than any other regarding the flight of the R-34 to America is whethet or not the Americans, on seeing it, regarding the descriptions in the newspapers and viewing the moving pictures will get some idea of what we in England felt when the giant Zeppelins came over this country, not on a peaceful mission, for the purpose of spreading ruin but destruction in our large cities. "America has no large airships of this type," said Lt. C. P. Robert son of the air ministry department of information. "It has therefore been impossible for the Americans to properly realize just what could have been done and, in a few instances by airships of this char acter loaded with bombs. "There is no doubt that had the war lasted a few months longer the Germans would have tried their best to get a Zeppelin across the Atlan tic. It is certain that they were pre paring to send aeroplanes bombers across by submarines, and it might not have been so absolutely impos sible as it sounds for them to send one of their dirigibles. "When the Americans see, directly or by means of the moving pictures, our big airship floating over New York and thus able to grab something of its size and immense capacity for destruction, they will much more readily appre ciate what a Zeppelin raid meant to us here." W ithout attempting to detract in any way from the feat perfomed by Commander Read and his gallant crew of the NC-4, the British air men are very jubilant over the fact that the first non-stop transatlantic flight was made in a British aero plane under the operation of an Englishman and a American and that the first trip from east to west is being made in a British airship. Buy Best and Keep Hubby's Tummy Well, Says Club Woman New York, Aug. 9. "High prices or low prices, I always buy the best in food stuffs," said a prominent member of a woman's club here to day. "And there's a reason," she continued. i "How do you do it with the pres ent dreadful charges for every thing?" demanded another member, and everyone paused to listen. Here's the explanation: "Why, if the cost is too high I simply buy a little less we usually eat too much, anyway but it is al ways the best. "You see, I was trying to econo mize on moats and my husband got ptomaine poisoning. What his sick ness cost in loss in his law practice, doctor's bills, medicines and anxiety on my part was a heap more than I'd saved by shopping for cheap foods since prices went up. "Believe me, a sick husband is not cheap at any price." All-American Pathfinders Start on Flight Wednesday Mineola, N. Y., Aug. 9. Nine bi planes, known as the "All-American pathfinders," will start on a flight from Hazelhurst field to San Fran cisco next Wednesday under the auspices of the War department and the air service.

By ROBERT J. PREW, International Nr Service Staff Corre ponilrnt. Paris, Aug. 9. Grand Duke Nich alos Nicholaievitch, the commander-in-chief of the ex-czar's armies, remains secluded in his retreat near Genoa, Italy. He refuses to make any statement of any kind on the plea that as soon as he opens his lips he will be accused of meddling in politics. He silently watches the great drama still unfolding itself in his country. Statements are being issued from time to time by his entourage, and the latest is one by a prominent Russian who has just arrived in Genoa after spending three months with Denekin's army in the south. "The Reds against whom Denckin is fighting," he says, "are still com mitting the most frightful atrocities. Their cruelty is beyond all belief. In the Kuban they first tortured and then burned alive 96 priests. Special treatment is meted out to all captured ofiicers. In the three stars on their epaulettes the mark of rank abolished by the revolution they drive three long nails clean through into the shoulder. "All the young women of from 17 to 30 years belonging to good families are treated as prisoners of war whenever the Reds march into a town. They are detained in 'open houses' and notices are posted In the camps that the troops may re gard them as 'common property.' Women over 30 years old are made to work as nurses in fever hospitals; only women of the lower classes are allowed to work in ordinary surgi cal hospitals, where there is no risk of infection. "The Red Army cannot be treated with contempt. Trotzky un doubtedly has the genius of organi zation and has stiffened his material with Chinese, Letts and sailors, who fight admirably. Aside from that, the bolshevik troops are poor stuff, and they lack competent officers. They have only two good generals Gutor and Klembovsky. Now that the fine weather has set in for many months we expect to rout them completely. "There is no such thing as poli tics in Denekin's army monarch ists, liberals and socialists all serve under the white, blue and red of the Slav flag, those of our volun teers who came in under the Czar ist colors black, yellow and white having sacrificed for the common emblem. "Many of us are convinced that there is no such thing as a Bolshe vist regime in Russia". A certain number of bolshevists got the upper hand of Kerensky; but Russia is really ruled by an autocrat more ter rible than any since Ivan the Ter ribleI mean Lenine. Lenine may be killed; but he will never give up office, because he is a self-elected despot. His Letts, his Chinese and his machine guns are capable of putting down all mutinies among his other troops and any peasant risings. His downfall can only be brought about by ceaseless pressure from the armies operating against the territory he dominates." Deveraux Freed by Court On Promise to Pay Up Back Alimony Ralph E. Deveraux, Hastings, Neb., whose honevmoon in Omaha with his wife of two days was rudely I interrupted by his arrest on the complaint of his divorced wife, Mrs. Lura Deveraux, was released from the county jail Friday night and has returned to his bride. Mr. Deveraux pleaded guilty to the charge of non-payment of ali mony to his first wife in district court Friday, and on his promise to pay it from now on was paroled for two years and the charge set aside. Mr. Deveraux and Mrs. Deveraux No. 2, came to Omaha last Sunday for their wedding trip. Mr. Dever aux met Mrs. Deveraux No. 1 on the street. As a result of the chance meeting police took Mr. Deveraux from his bridal chamber that night at the Hotel Castle, and placed him in the city jail on a warrant charg ing non-support, signed by his first wife. Babes In the Wood" Plan Big Wedding, But Policeman Stops It New York, Aug. 9. "Babes in the Wood" has been brought down to real life over in Flatbush, Brooklyn, by two of the most persistent and youthful lovers imaginable. But an unromantic policeman dis turbed "Love's Young Dream," and now the "Babes," instead of ex changing fond glances and whisper ings of love, face charges of va grancy to which they have already pleaded guilty. Long have the "Babes" known each other, and long have they leved, very long, in fact, Musette Bragg confesses to 17, while Mather Boys, the ardent lover, admits he is one year younger than his sweet heart. Stern parents frowned on such a proposition as a wedding, so the "Babes" ran away from home. They would battle the cruel world to gether and get married. With the plan settled in their own minds, they started out. The path was thorny through the day, and by night Pros pect park and a bench offered rest. So they lay down to sleep and con tinue their journey on the morrow. An inquisitive moon shed too much light on the sleepers, and the po liceman did the rest. Smith Declines to Testify in Electric Railway Case Mayor Smith has declined an in vitation received several weeks ao to testify before the Federal r.lec tric Railways commission, appointed by President Wilson to inquire into the present condition of these sys tems and recommend means of ex tricating them from the bankruptcy which, in many cases, threatens.
