THE BEE : OMAHA, THURSDAY. AUGUST 21,-1919. IMCIIRAMnr MFH iiivuiiniiuk iiibii HERE IN FORCE IN SEPTEMBER Life Companies From 36 States to Send Delegates 1 Representing 3,000,000 Policy Holders. Local life insurance men are busy formulating plans for entertaining the American Life Convention in Omaha which is booked for the week of September 22. This will be the largest gathering of insurance men ever brought to Nebraska. Its delegates will represent 1 19 Ameri can legal reserve, or old line life companies, whose offices are lo cated within 36 states. The convention will also attract representatives of 50 life insurance companies and organizations not members of the convention. To give briefly an idea of the im portance of this event the statement is made that these companies have about 3,000,000 policy holders carry ing more than four billions of dol lars of life insurance, with reserves -amounting to more than $400,000, 000. The accumulated assets of the companies in the American Life convention exceed $500,000,000. Six Nebraska legal reserve life in surance companies are members of the convention and Nebraska has been twice honored with the presi dency of the organization. The sec retary and counsel is T. W. Black burn, who has long been a resident of Omaha. The significance of this conven tion is that Omaha is being rec ognized as a great life insurance center. It is not generally known that our home companies chartered under the laws of Nebraska have a total volume jpf life insurance in force amounting to more than $100, 000,000. The program for the three-day session of the convention has been prepared by the secretary and will be published soon. There will be a banquet at which some noted speakers will address the delegates, and there are a num ber of addresses on the convention program which will attract wide at tention among all life insurance men. It is stated that the city and Chamber of Commerce will partici pate in the program of entertain ment of the delegates. Negro Bandits Rob Man of $5 at Point of Gun A. F.

Texas Oils FOR Big Returns THE PRESENT MONEY-MAKING OPPORTUNITIES ARE WORTHY OF THE SERIOUS CONSIDERA TION OF THE MORE CAREFUL INVESTOR. The Pullman Oil & Refining Company is operating on a business basis and makes its sales appeal to the investor who is care ful in the placing of his money and demands safety, as well as large returns. This Company is organized on a sound financial basis for the reason that ample cash resources are necessary for the assur ance of success- The small company puts its eggs all in one basket and it is only by the most unusual good fortune that they pay dividends. The larger company makes a certainty of production by obtaining scat tered holdings in proven territory and drill ing a number of wells on these holdings. It further provides for the refining and dis tribution of crude oil and its by-products, for fully seventy-five per cent of all profits in this business are made after the oil leaves the well. The present holdings of this company total 427 acres divided in eleven tracts. Three tracts are in the famous Desdemona gusher oil field; six tracts in the well-known Duke-Knowles, Comanche County field; one in Coleman County; and one in Fisher County. We are drilling in proven territory only and our locations are the pick of the field in which we are operating. We are now ready to close on further choice acreage. To Drill Ten Wells The immediate drilling program of this company calls for ten deep wells. Our No. 1, F. M. Daniel, on the Desdemona Townsite, is now on the oil sands and will be drilled in as soon as pipe line connections are made. This well has five neighbors within a circle of 1,500 feet radius, which combined have a total produc tion reported at oyer 20,000 barrels of oil a day. The Warren Wagner, alone, at a distance of some 500 feet, is rated at 8,000 barrels, so you may well see that we are among the big ones. Our No. 2, F. M. Daniel, is drilling and its location at 800 yards north of No. 1, justifies the expectation of big production. -The balance of the wells on the im mediate program will be started at the earliest possible moment. There is safety in numbers. We are operat ing on a sane production program which will get satis factory results. Pipe Lines and Refinery We will have a 8,000-barrel refinery in operation at the earliest possible moment. This refinery will be built on the unit system and provision made that its capacity may be increased at any time. Pipe lines will be built connecting production with the refinery and with large tank storage space as provided. Refining, in itself, is a tremendously profitable business and it is reasonable to expect that the first twelve months' operation shoujd show net profits in excess of our entire proposed out standing capital stock. Conclusion The Pullman Oil & Refining Company is a re sponsible organization operating on a basis that assures extraordinary profits. We are a going concern,- firmly established and destined to become one of the larger Texas companies engaged in the Production, Refining and Distribution of crude oil and its by-products. It is not a catch penny company, but has real substance and is managed by men of integrity and ability. The present stock allotment is limited and in all probability will be the last. Our first well is all but finished and quick action on your part is nqw a necessity. Present offer ing at par value of $1.00 per share ; subject to advance, or balance of issue may be withdrawn without notice. CIRCULAR ON REQUEST. Capitalization $2,500,000.

Most soaps and prepared sham poos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. . Mul sified cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and entirely greaseless), is much better than anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abund ance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thor oughly. The lather rinses out eas ily and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. , You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months. Adv. from Mrs. Blakeley in her apart ment. He asserted he paid the woman $7.50 for it. Officers Get Tip. Detective Jensen, who. with De tectives Cunningham and Janda, ar rested Mrs. Blakeley, declared he was instructed to report to the office of the department of justice in the federal building and there met a man named W. A. Wilson, who told him a friend of his had gone to the South Twenty-fourth street address to buy some whisky. Wilson was standing on the out side of the building with the officers when Kruger emerged from the apartment. The woman was ar rested upon the assertion ot Kruger that he purchased the whisky from her. Case Conjtinued. Kruger and Wilson are said to be friends of Mr. Blakeley. Attorney T. E. Brady declared Wilson was doing some detective work for Blakeley. The case was continued until 8:30 this morning, when Mrs. Blakeley will introduce witnesses, her attorney asserted, to show that she is the victim of .a conspiracy. Mrs. Blakeley has been living at the Altona apartments as Mrs. R. M. McLean, her maiden name being McLean. Promise Sensation. The police angle of the case, how ever, is only a small part of the real story which, it is declared, will be brought out when the petition of Mrs. Blakeley for additional ali mony comes up for a hearing, prob ably in the district court the latter part of this month. Attorneys for Mr. Blakeley will not only attack the reputation of Mrs. Blakeley on the ground of her arrest for the alleged possession and sale of intoxicating liquor. Her name, it was learned from an au thorative source yesterday, will be connected with that of a prominent Nebraska lawyer and former legis lator. "We are not yet ready to give out this feature of the case," declared one of the attorneys for Mr. Blake ley yesterday. "But you can bet on this much when it does break it will be a sensation that will inter est all of Nebraska and Iowa." Asked if he had anything to say in answer to the "frame-up" charges made by Mrs. Blakeley in connec tion with her arrest Tuesday night, he said he did not at this time. Divorce and Alimony. It was only a little over a year ago that Mr. Blakeley obtained a di vorce from Mr. Blakeley. Shortly afterward he married a Miss Nellie King of Florida, Mrs. Blakeley mak ing the charge at the time that he had fallen desperately in love with the pretty southern girl while still married. In the granting of the divorce the court awarded Mrs. Blakeley a lump sum of $8,000 alimony. She now has a suit pending for additional ali mony of $7,000. Charges Frame-Up. According to the story of Mrs. Blakely, George Rothe, commission man, St. Joseph, Mo., former de tective and captain of police at Lincoln, Neb.; W. A. Wilson, law yer, University Place, Lincoln, Neb., alleged' attorney for Charles Blakely, and Adam Kruger, wrest ler and prize fighter, Lincoln, Neb., secured the co-operation of . the po lice in bringing about the raid and the arrest of Mrs. Blakely. The three men represented themselves as being connected with the United States revenue department, accord ing to the police. Tuesday afternoon Rothe is said to have gone to Mrs. Blakely's apartment and told her he had a letter of introduction from a mutual friend in St. Joseph, according to Mrs. Blakeley's statement Tuesday. He also said he had $900 which he wanted to spend on some woman in a couple of days. Following these remarks Mrs. Blakely said he asked her to permit him to leave a pint ot whisky in her rooms and he would call for it later in the after noon. "I told him he could leave the whiskv in my room," declared Mrs. Blakely. "He took the bottle out of his pocket and set it on the table and left." Following the deposit of the liquor, W. A. Wilson, one of the trio, went to United States Revenue Of ficer Larry Flynn and told him he had found out where a person was selling liquor and asked for assist ance in raiding the place. Flynn said he was .not in a position to give the assistance and is said to have called the police department and asked for a sufficient number of officers to go to the Blakely rooms and make the raid. Took Whisky With Him. Rothe, Wilson and Kruger are re ported to have left immediately and went to Mrs. Blakeley s rooms. When the morals squad arrived the three men left the apartment and went to the street where they were arrested by the officers. Kruger was found to have the pint of whisky in his pocket which was said to have been left in care of Mrs. Blakely by Rothe. They were taken to jail and a warrant was issued for the arrest of Mrs. Blakely, the officers refusing to arrest her without a warrant. Mrs. Blakely was taken to the sta tion. When the four persons were taken to the police station Captain of Police Haze said he "could not tell heads from tails," and booked all of them. They were afterwards released on bonds. "I could not understand the case at the time, so I thought the safest thing to do was to arrest them all," declared Captain Haze. "I am posi tive that this is a case of a frame- up' pure and simple on Mrs. Blakely. 1 teel sure that tney are working for Charles Blakely and that they secured the services of the revenue and police departments without their knowing the lull status ot the case. If it were to do over 1 would not take cognizance of it.' Asks More Alimony. Larry Flynn, revenue officer, said W. A. Wilson was in his office and wanted to secure the arrest of Mrs. Blakely, saying she was selling liq uor. Flynn said Wilson had been connected with the revenue depart ment years ago, but was not at this time, neither were his companions. "I am bringing suit against my former husband for $7,000 and he is trying to show that I have a rotten character so he will not hav? to pay the sum," said Mrs. Blakeley. "He is worth at least $300,000 ami wants to rob me of my just alimony." j Mrs. Blakely secured a divorce from her husband on June IS, 1917, 1 and was given alimony of $8,000. She says that sum was not just and is now bringing suit for $7,000 addi tional alimony.

Stop Suit Is Started to Enforcement of Nonpartisan Law Fargo, N. D., Aug. 20. An action involving the power of the state of North Dakota to enforce the state grain act while the grain business is under the control of the United States food administration, was filed in the United States district court here yesterday.

"When my friends ask me what caused my wonderful improvement, I just say 'Tanlac,' and they seem to understand," said Mrs. Burl Buley, residing at 521 Baxter Court, Canton, Illinois, while talking to a Tanlac representative the other day. "For the past twenty years," con tinued Mrs. Buley, "I have suffered from acute indigestion, and when these spells came on me the pain and misery I underwent is simply , more than anybody will ever know. My stomach was in such bad con dition that the least thing I ate would cause me to suffer terribly afterwards. I finally got to where even a little milk and toast would cause me to have bad cramping spells, and tras would form so bad that I could hardly get a good breath. This condition kept up until 1 1 was so weak and run down that I was not able to attend to my housework. I also suffered a great deal from headaches, and sometimes I would have such bad spells of it that it just seemed that my head I was going to burst. I was so nerv ous an tne time mat tne least thing would upset me, and I never knew what a good night's sleep was. Noth ing I took in ahe way of medicine and treatment seemed to do me any good at all, and I had just about given up all hope of ever being well again. "Well, the papers were having a great deal to say about Tanlac, and so many people were being bene fited by using it, so I got my hus band to get a bottle of it for me. The day that I commenced taking Tanlac certainly marks the turning point for me, for I began to im prove before I had finished my first bottle of this wonderful medicine. Why, in little or no time I could eat just anything I wanted without suffering afterwards, and I just continued ' to improve until- my twenty years of suffering is com pletely at an end. I eat things now that I haven't dared touch for years, rhose awful headaches have left me, too, and I never have a sign of acute indigestion. In fact, I am perfectly well in every way, and when night comes now, I sleep like a baby for eight or nine hours. I tell everybody I meet about Tanlac, for I know it is solely responsible for the good health I now enjoy." Tanlac is sold in Omaha at all Sherman & McConnell Drug Com pany's stores, Harvard Pharmacy and West End Pharmacy.
