THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, AUGUST 12, 1919.
GUS HYERS MADE
GOAT OF SHOW AT
AK-SAR-BEN DEN
Chief State Agent Accused
of Carrying Bottle of 2.75
Plus Out-of-Town
Guests Present.
Gus Hyers, Governor McKelvie's
chief state agent, was the goat at
last night's initiation ceremonies at
the Ak-Sar-Ben den, where a large
delegation from Lincoln, Nebraska
Ctiy and Havelock was entertained.
Several attaches of the den alleged
that they fcund a botle of 2.7S plus
elixir in one of Hyers' pockets and
they held the state officer for inves
tigation. Hyers offered a plausible
alibi, claiming that he came "clean
from Lincoln," and that he was "a
erfectly respectable man." When
fvers endeavored to make a short
talk at the close of the evening's
program an anvil chorus drowned
his first words. Order finally was
restored. It was all in fun and it
made great sport for the visitors.
More than 500 attendants came
from the up-state towns. They were
escorted to the deu in chartered
street cars and returned to their
homes on a midnight train. They
all agreed that this year's Ak-Sar-Ben
show, "The Wandering Juice,"
is the classiest bit of entertainment
they ever witnessed.
John J. Ledwith of Lincoln was
introduced by C. E. Black of the
board of governors as "an honest
democratic lawyer."
"I am delighted to state that
Lincoln has learned much from
Omaha and we realize that when
Omaha prospers Lincoln also pros
pers," Mr. Ledwith said. "We are
proud of Omaha and we want you
to be proud of Lincoln. The build
ing of a new capitol will mark the
beginning of a new Lincoln."
George Risdon of Lincoln recited
several poems and offered a few
words on behalf of the visiting
Lincolnites.
C. H. Roper, president of the
Lincoln Automobile club, and R. V.
Pepperberg, president of the Lin
coln Rotary club, were among the
visitors who enjoyed the show.
Woman, Victim of
'Mystery Shot,' D les;
Man Again Arrested
Mrs. T. D. Jones, mysteriously
shot July 27 while sitting in a buggy
near her home, Fifty-eighth street
and Fowler avenue, dies yesterday
at St. Joseph's hospital.
M. B. White, 4702 Ames avenue,
arrested in connection with the
shooting, but later released on a
bond of $3,000, will be re-arrested,
police said yesterday.
Mrs. Jones was thought to have
been shot by a .32 calber rifle bullet.
The shot was fired from a corn field
near the spot where Mrs. Jones'
buggy was standing. The bullet
penetrated her temple and was never
extracted.
Police say White was firing a rifle
the evening Mrs. Jones was
wounded.
The county attorney will conduct
an inquest into the death Tuesday
afternoon at 2 o'clock.

Mrs. Edith M. Mudge of Chicago, Says Daughters Count
on Her to Bring Vanishing Husband to Justice
Court Hands Down Writ.
Two nights of waiting for her hus
band's return, in a suite in the ex
clusive St. Regis apartment, has not
discouraged Mrs. Edith M. Mudge
of Chicago, who charges her hus
band has been living in Omaha un
der the assumed name of Don Wal
lace. "I am going to bring him to jus
tice, if it takes a year," said Mrs.
Mudge yesterday. "I have two
daughters in Chicago depending on
me, and I cannot fail."
A restraining order was granted
Mrs. Mudge by District Judge Sears
yesterday, preventing Mr. Mudge,
alias Wallace, from disposing of any
of his property until a hearing in
court set for August 14.
"Other Woman" Hit, Too.
The order also restrains Frances
Reeme, named by Mrs. Mudge as
the "other woman," from disposing
of any property belonging to Mr.
Mudge which she may have in her
possession. The United States Na
tional bank and the Updike Grain
Co. are included in the order, which
prevents either organization from
paying any money to Mr. Mudge.
"I am so glad the order was grant
ed," sighed Mrs. Mudge, "1 am sure
Mr. Mudge has large holdings in
Omaha and I am positive that during
the last year he has made over $20,-
000 in the stock business.
"Mr. Mudge is not bad, he is just
like many other men who are led
astray. Frances Reeme seems to have
some. influence over him, but I can't
see what her attraction is."
Mrs. Mudge told of the beautiful
Chicago home that she and her hus
band had enjoyed before his alleged
desertion. Her two daughters, Alfa
and Delta, 19 and 17 years old, were
used to every luxury she said, and
associated with many of the best
people in Chicago.
"When Mr. Mudge left me two
years ago," continued Mrs. Mudge,
"I had no reason to believe he in
tended to stay away. He had some
financial trouble. He was a piano
manufacturer, but quit the business.
"He seemed to care for me and
his daughters. But when he had
been away so long I became worried
and tried to find him. I did at last,
in Sioux City. He was with that
Reeme woman there, but told me
he cared nothing about her and
would come back to Chicago. He
did not.
"I traced him to Omaha last week,
and found he was still 'iving with
this Frances Reeme. They seemed
to be of high standing socially here.
1 couldn't stand it."
"Fat Old Thing."
"I can't see what he likes about
that fat old thing," she finally burst
forth. "She is from McPherson,
Kan., a typical small town girl.
She's the baby doll type, who puts
her arms around a man and whis
pers that she loves him.
"And to think that Clifford would
take her to a place like the St. Regis
and impose on the good people of
Omaha. She seems to have no in-
i tellect whatever. Do you know that
: .1 i
in mat apaiLitieiiL lucre waaii l t
book worth reading, nothing but
cards and music.
"Mr. Mudge cared for the better
things and in Chicago we had a
large library."
Mrs. Mudge was silent for a mo
ment again, and then quoted, with
great bitterness a verse from Kip
ling's j "A Fool There Was."
While in her attorney's office in
the Bee building Mrs. George
Storrs, 921 Military avenue, Council
BhitTs, called her by telephone.
Mrs. Storrs said the Mr. and Mrs
Don Wallace had lived at her home
for several months, but finally came
to Omaha.
"I sometimes suspected they were
not married," said Mrs. Storrs,
"because Mrs. Wallace read me let
ters from Mr. Wallace that were
filled from beginning to end with
things about love, and I thought no
married people would write each
other that way. They were al
ways quiet and dignified, however.
"Mrs. Wallace told me she had
given up everything in life for Mr.
Wallace, and loved him with all her
heart."
"Small Town Girl."
Mrs. Mudge laughed scornfully
at the last statement. "She didn't
give up a thing," she exclaimed.
"She was just a small town girl.
Her mother kept the only hotel at
McTherson, Kan."
It was reported yesterday that
Mrs. Wallace visited the apartment
Sunday night by neighboring resi
dents and the janitor's wife at the
St. Regis.
Mrs. Mudge and Constable M. J.
Roach declared it was impossible for
her to have been there, as they were
on watch in the apartment alt night.
Made $15,000 in Day, Claim.
The janitor's wife declared Mrs
Wallace had told her that Mr. Wal
lace had made $15,000 in one day at
the Grain exchange. Mr. Wallace is
described as quiet man, tall and
distinguished looking, about 43
years old.
Exchange men at the Updike's
wire office said he was always very
reticent. Mrs. Mudge declared her
husband had been making $25,000 a
year in Sioux City undei the name
of C. C. Mur v. She also declared
that he was a member of Ak-Sar-Ben
and other clubs. These mem
berships could not be verified.
Mrs. Mudge filed suit for separate
maintenance Saturday in district
court.
"I do not want a divorce," she said
today. "I don't know whether a
reconciliation can be effected or not.
I am not sure whether I want any
reconciliation."

NEW FARE MAKES
MORE WORK FOR
STREET CARMEN
Conductors Earn Increased
WagesRush for Tickets
Causes Delay in Down- ,
town Sections.
Although the 7-cent fare, which
went into effect Sunday morning,
caused but little confusion, it did re
sult in some delay and forced con
ductors to work harder than for
some time past, thus fully earning
the increased wages granted them
by the street car company Friday.
Successive waves of patrons of the
street railway company succeeded in
almost overwhelming conductors
Sunday and yesterday by their de
mand for the car tickets.
At the downtown intersections
cars were delayed several minutes
because conductors were unable to
handle the crowds that jammed the
cars and clamored for the tickets,
which sold at the rate of four for 25
cents, or 3 cents below the standard
figure for four tickets. Motornien
were forced to extend themselves to
make up for lost time in the less
thickly populated sections of the
city.
"I've worked harder today than
ever before on this job," said one
flustered conductor to a back plat
form audience just after disposing
of a large number of tickets to a
crowd that swarmed on his car at
Sixteenth and Douglas streets about
11 last night.
It was reported by conductors
that by far the greater majority of
people purchased tickets. Practic
ally the same number of people
rode Sunday as the Sunday price
to the increased fare, it was said.
All cars managed to keep on
schedule despite the delay caused
by the demand for tickets, R. A.
Leussler, assistant general manager
of the street railway company,
stated yesterday.
Borealis Plays
Havoc With Wires
of U. S. and Canada
New York, Aug. 11. Telegraph
and telephone communication
throughout the United States and
Canada was seriously interrupted
and in many cases completely
stopped shortly after noon today by
the aurora borealis. the "merry
dancers" of arctic explorers. 4
The electrical phenomenon put
out of commission thousands of
miles of wire and made its influence
felt as far south as Kansas City,
according to reports to the tele
graph companies here. Roswcll B.
locker, wire chief for one of the
large telegraph companies, said the
atmospheric disturbance was the
heaviest and most extended in the
records of the company.
Denver, Colo., Aug. 11. The
aurora borealis, an unusual phenom
enon for this section of the country,
was visible for 20 minutes this morn
ing, beginning at 3:45 o'clock. Elec
trical disturbance caused by the au
rora resulted in some interruption
to telegraph and telephone wires in
this region today.
U. S. Protests Agrarian
Law Found in Mexico
Washington, Aug. 11. Repeated
protests against the agrarian law of

is regarded as inimical to American
interests have been made to the
Mexican government by the State
department, the senate was informed
today by President Wilson.
The president wrote in reply to a
senate resolution and transmitted a
report from the State department.
This said that when the Sonora leg
islature was considering the law last
December, the American embassy
was directed to object and again
last month another protest was
made. The law now is being studied
by the State department experts
with a view to further action by the

Plan to Seize Autos
Of Traffic Violators
Approved by Council
The city council committee of the
whole yesterday recommended for
passage Mayor Smith's amended or
dinance, which provides that auto
mobiles may be "impounded" for a
period not to exceed 30 days in cases
where owners are convicted of vio
lations of the traffic laws.
The existing ordinance imposes a
fine or jail sentence. The "impound
ing" feature is intended as an alter
native. "To fine a man may work a hard
ship on his family," said the mayor.
"To place him in jail may mean the
loss of his job. Deprive him of his
automobile for 30 days and I believe
you will have impressed him."
It is proposed to require the own
er of an impounded car to pay stor
age charges.
