THE BEE: OMAHA, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1919. "PAPA LOO LOO" BASES SUIT ON LOVINGLETTERS Asks $5,000 From Girl's Par ents Because Hazel Broke Her Promise to Wed Him. (Coo tinned From Pace Oae.) : came to my office in answer to an ad' for a girl for office work three years ago. She proved to be the type of girl I wanted, go I engaged her. The first time ahe came to the office she was accompanied by her mother, Mrs. trhe p. Hewms, who . became quite friendly, and insisted V, that I go to their home in East Ded- ham to live. "1 The girl's mother said on their first visit to my office that I should make an ideal husband for her . daughter and son-in-law to her. "I did not like the coat that Hazel ' wore and gave her $.?S to buy an other, which she did. When ahe , came back she showed me some , calling cards that she had printed as 'Mrs. Rodriguer.' I said nothing to her for doing it. "After repeated invitations on the part of Mrs. Hewins, I moved my furniture to East Dedham and lived there for three years. I became in' fataated with Hazel, who was the wife of Henry A. Kussmaul, not then living with his wife. Hazel kept telling me that tnst as soon as she obtained a divorce from her hus band she would marry me. "I spent large sums of money on Hazel because I loved her, and I : made her mother presents of clothes and also things for her father. 1 supplied Hazel with all of her clothes. I purchased furs, silk stock ings, gloves in fact, whenever she wanted anything to wear, I either bought it myself or gave her the money to do so. Liquor and Lawn Mower. "I kept her father supplied with liquor and tobacco and I even bought his clothes. I supplied them with a lawn mower and other garden implements and garden seeds. "I was called to New York on business, where I remained for sev eral weeks, and I kept buying nice things that I saw and expressed - them to Hazel. I paid $20 for a box - of candy one time. Whenever Hazel " wanted any money she would write i me and I would send any amount she wanted. "My suspicion was aroused when Francisco Ballestros, the Mexican consul in Boston, came to me one day and showed me a letter he had received from Hazel. I called her attention to what I had learned and she seemed to be very much sur prised. She pleaded with me to for give her, saying that she did that to see if I was jealous. "Sweet on Mexican Boy." "One day I saw her and the Mex ican consul talking on the street in .Boston and I passed them by. I wn virv mad. liie Mexican con sul treats me very cool since then. She was also very sweet on a young Mexican boV. Robert De La frreute who is secretary in the Mexican consular office in Boston. Young De La Freute, who is a good-looking chap with blond hair, is a protege of President Carranza of Mexico. His father is General De La Freute, a general in Carranza's army. "I feel very bitter toward Hazel s father and mother, because they are responsible for her going away and leaving me. They treated me fine while I was living at their home and as long as I kept buying them pres ents and helping to run the house. "Hazel, I have learned, has since been divorced by Kussmaul and married a man named Vincent B. Beckett, on June 23, 1919, in Chica go. The ceremony was performed by Judge H. Sterling Pomeroy. This s true, for I have a certified copy of the marriage from the authori ties in Chicago. I have also in my possession a certified copy showing ihat Henrv Abel Kussmaul, Hazel s husband, had secured a divorce in Kings county, Washington, October 5. 1918. Lets Her Handle Money. .'So certain did I feel that Hazel ltould be some day- my wife, I gave her keys to my office and let her attend to all my business, even to " i i .1 Ch tnA npr mother would visit my office when I was away. Of course, I did not object to that. Mrs. Hewins had a key to the office, aiso. "Mrs. Hewins would write me love letters and send me verses writ ' ten about love and would telephone me. She frequented my office at all hours and would stay with me quiet . a while, and then when she went home she would tell Hazel and her 5 father that she had been to a show.

Railroad Section Flooded. The storm struck Galveston early Sunday and caused the tidewater to flood the railroad section and the north side of the island to a depth of three feet. The seawall with stood the onslaught of the pound ing waves, however, and there was no damage to the causeway con necting the city with the mainland. By Sunday night most of the water had receded from Galveston's streets although an area of several blocks still ran with water to the curb. Tonight the wind was still blow ing in gusts from 60 to 65 miles an hour, but the barometer was rising steadily and the tide receding. The maximum area flooded by back water from the bay extended from seven to nine blocks from the bay front and the entire length of the north side of the island. The United States weather bureau issued a bulletin late today saying the danger to Galveston had passed but urging caution because of the high winds. With the exception of the street car system, which was forced to suspend service early in the day, all public utilities came through the storm intact. Refugees Straggling Through.

A small number of local residents went with them, Water was standing in Market street, the center of the business section, when some of the stores were thrown open ana emergency workers began carrying merchandise to ton floors. This work was fin ished before the water entered the buildings. Wheat and other grain stored in elevators awaiting export had been moving to the trains and it was said there was little left to be damaged. More than 100 train loads of wheat were hauled out yes terday. When the day broke the rain which for a while had ceased began to fall again. Pieces of driftage floated to the streets. By noon the streets presented a carnival-like ap pearance. Motor and sailboats, skiffs, wagons and buggies moved back and forth and merchants de clared their loss was not great.

Mrs. Henley spoke of a "spat" which occurred in the school one day. She was not quite sure what happened, but it was a "lively row," as she recalled it. There is a man in Laclede, how ever, who knows alt about that "lively row." He is Clinton T. Stuts man. He runs a little restaurant near the Laclede railroad station, and it is well worth one's while to stop and have a "bite" in Clint's place.

But pupil I was, and 1 recall every incident of the days when he was teacher at Prairie Mound. No Pipe Smoking. "He was a good teacher strict, but not overbearing.

"I have over 300 letters written to me by Hazel and her mother in which they expressed their love for me, and I have verse after verse which they sent me.

So did most of the rest. "He was such a nice looking boy, smooth-faced, wonderfully healthy looking, with light, wavy hair and blue eyes that were good to look upon. Thrashing a Bad Boy. "There were about 30 or 40 pupils in the school, boys and girls, rang ing all the way from S or 6 years of age to 18 or 19. I think I was the oldest boy in the school. I was 19. John was 18, as I recall, but there were several boys as old, or little older. "During all that winter it was my last term there was just one row. A boy, one of the largest and oldest boys in the school I can't remember his name started a 'rough house' one day. He made some saucy answer to a question John put to him and he would not sit down when John ordered him to. John didn't waste any. words. He walked up to the boy he was a bigger boy than John, too picked him off the floor like a sack of meal and hurled him into his seat. Old Man Comes Round. "The boy was so taken aback he didn't say a word just sat where John had hurled him. But later that day "The row the real row came in the afternoon. The boy John had disciplined returned to school in the afternoon with his father, a great, big, red-faced farmer. "I was standing near John when they appeared . " 'You manhandled my boy this morning?' the man thundered at John. "John explained; he said that the boy had been unruly and had been punished, as all boys who were un ruly would be. Takes Gun from Father. "The man bellowed and stormed like a bull gone mad. Then he made a grab at John. John pushed him back. He didn't want to fight. But the man wasn't amenable to reason. He was mad as a hatter. "'Alright,' John said, and he was as cool and calm as a cucumber. 'Alright,' he said, 'if you want to fight, I'll fight. But first take that gun out of your pocket and fight like a man.' "The farmer backed away shame facedly. John caught him, pulled the gun from his pocket a big revolver and tossed it to one side. Then they went to it. John knocked the man down several times finally knocked him out. That ended it. When the man came 'round he apol ogized. A Boyhood Romance? Perhaps, to the minds of many persons will come conjecture as to girls. Did John Fershmg have a girl?" they will ask. Was there someone in Laclede who might have been Mrs. Pershing? There is a hint, just a hint, of a romance in John's life at this time. There had come to Laclede just a few years before a family named Artlip, and a daughter of the house, Arabelle Artlip, was looked upon as the prettiest girl in Laclede. La clede folks do say that John, about the time of his Prairie Mound days, "crush" on Arabelle, or Mrs. Lomax she is called had a "Belle." today. I went to the Lomax dry goods store and there asked Mrs. Lomax if she would not tell me the story of it. Her husband was in the store, with his wife behind a counter in front of shelves piled high with linens and gingham. Mrs. Lomax Blushes. "I guess I never heard of this," he remarked, as I questioned his wife. But there was a twinkle in his eyes that belied his statement. Mrs. Lomax blushed. "Why," she declared, "there wasn't any romance." And by the way she said it one knew there had been a boy and girl romance, one of those sweet, clean boy and girl romances that makes of this world a more beau tiful place. "The Girl" Tells Story. I laughed and told her of the sto ries the Tumors I had heard, but all she would say was: "John used to go to the same par ties I went to and once, I remember, it was a Leap Year party in Mary Griffith's home her father was Colonel Griffith John wanted to walk home with me. I chose to walk home with another young man. John didn't like it very well. But ro mance no. " Tracing the general's life through all the paths of it, one knows that romance whole-souled romance- was not to enter into it until he was over 40. Then love came into it, a romance that will always be remem bered as one of the prettiest ro mances the army ever knew, but a romance, alas, which was to end in such a tragedy as plunged a whole nation Into grief the tragedy of the fresidio. Yes, the nation mourned with you, General Pershing. (Continued Tomorrow.) Steel Workers Promise healing. To him go a gang of New York crooks, bent on getting con trol of the "miracle man" for the purpose of exploiting his wonderful power. Instead, they find them selves moved by some strange im pulse, and remain to learn and start on a new way of life. The company which made the picture is formed of most, capable actors, whose work is all the more convincing because it is devoid of the usual tricks resorted to by film actors to "register" the passions or emotions they are sup posed to express. These are real actors, and by their ability they make the scenes realistically con All to Delay Their Strike K amlaVab'ie 4tureMiracle New York. Sept. 14.

If you enjoy a series of hearty laughs, the new bill at this vaude ville house is just what the doctor ordered. Harry Green, who appears in "George Washington Cohen," a satrical comedy playlet, hs been here before in a vehicle of similar construction. Mr. Green evokes hearty laughs and that is the obvi ous mission of the act Harry Hines has a manner all his own of delivering a merry line of chatter and song, interspered with some jazz sps. He is a small chap with plenteous unction and he has a confidential manner with an audience. Jack Clifford, as the elderly and elongated station master of Jasper Junction, is a classic in his line of burlesque. The extracation of his legs from the arm of a bench furnishes several min utes of hilarity. Local interest attaches to the ap pearence of the Lachmann sisters, who do not happen to be natural sisters, but who have a clever little "sister" act. They are real Omaha girls and are doing well in vaude ville for youngesters. Mark Nelson is a juggling comedian who has a rapid-fire act which is pleasing. Col lins and Hart are here again with their strong man act in which they apparently defy the law of gravita tion. Eddie Janis and Rene Chap low, with violin, voice and feet, offer an artistic act in which the violin playing is meritorius. "Topics of the Day," and Kinograms, the latter showing the arrival of General Pershing, are the screen offerings. A big musical act, "The Cabaret de Luxe," toplines the vaudeville bill at the Empress, and justifies the importance given it. It has a num ber of sprightly girls, who can sing, dance "and otherwise make them selves agreeable to the watchers, and thereby win a lot of merited applause. Rose, Ellis and Rose, "the jumping jacks," has a distinct air of novelty about it. It has been a long time since a barrel jumper showed his skill in Omaha, so this trio is welcome, especially because of the nimble way in which they do their work. The Houltons, with their little sketch, "A Summer Flir tation," put their personality over and get away strong with the audi ence. They are clever and sing well. Frank Devoy and his com pany have a bit of chatter that is worth all the time it takes. Francis X. Bushman and Beverly Bayne are back again, this time in "Daring Hearts," a picture with plenty of action, pathos and comedy. Alexander, the original "The Man Who Knows," student of the occult and delver into psychical research lays no claim to the supernatural powers, but invites the public to term his demonstrations just what they please. Alexander works sev eral months each year and the re maining time is spent in hunting, hshing, study and supplying the re laxation that is essential to regain ing the energy that he has given out in his daily contact with the public. the engagement of Alexander and his show of wonders will commence tonight, September IS, at the Bran deis theater and continue for six days. A special souvenir matinee for the ladies only will be given on fnday and a general matinee on Saturday. Oliver Morosco will present Leo Carrillo at the Brandeis Theater for three days beginning Monday. Sep tember 22d, in Frederic and Fanny Hatton's fun fashion success. "Lom- bardi, Ltd." with Marie Colebrook and the typical Morosco cast. Mr. Camllos oortraval of Tito Lombardi" is one of the most hu morus and novel characterizations seen of late years. His ability to create constant laughter is difficult to describe. Ede Mae. orima donna with the "Million Dollar Dolls" Co. combines captivating stage presence with an ability to sing and act acceptably. She is technically more finished than the most of the actresses on the burlesque stage. Miss Mae sings with a feeling that holds her audiences and her costumes are worthy of special mention. She will be seen at her best heading the big Broadway beauty chorus in the second act at the Gayety twice daily this week. Baltimore Wins Title. New York. Sept. 14.

Can you afford to take the risk of being without Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy dur ing the hot weather ? Findlay, Ohio, Sept. 14. An ap ple tree growing thirty-two differ ent kinds of apples and six differ ent kinds of pears is one of the most exceptional horticultural wonders produced by Henry Flater, in years of experimenting. . Practically 4all of the apple grafts are bearing regularly, two ot the pear grafts have borne fruit of an exceptional quality. Others will bear in coming seasons. All are vigorous, regardless of the fact that they draw sap from a trunk of an alien va riety. Some of the Varieties. Some of the different varieties grown on this tree are: Yellow Transparent, Red Astrakan, Wealthy Fall, Rambo, Stayman, Wine Sap, Delicious, Wol River, Arkansas Black, Fall Pippin, Baldwin, Jona than, Winter, Banana, Summer Maiden Blush, Winter Maiden Blush, Northwestern Greening, Gate Applle crossed with the Sum mer Sweet, Aldenhurg, Rome Beau ty, Fall Water, Anti-Lnglish Ram bo. From July to October. Apples are secured from the tree from July until the latter part of October, t later has already sold about $6 worth from one limb. When Flater acquired the land the tree, sole survivor of an aid orchard, was a mere shell. The holloow trunk and decayed spots were filled with cement and heavy chains were used to hold the limbs together. Instead of dying, the tree has shown new life each year and no one would suspect that it i now seventy-five years old. Wants Them Half and Half. Flater this vear has made grafts to produce apples, half sweet and half sour. It is done by laying two slit buds of a sweet and sour va riety together in the same graft. These grafts are growing, but have not reached their bearing stage. Flater feeds his apple trees plant food to give the roots elements they need in soil, exhausted by many years of growth. He has worked with many university horticlturists of note. Wheelbarrow Driver Hurt When Struck by Automobile Lars Burg, 62 years old, Nine teenth and Burt streets, was slightly injured at 10 o'clock last night when he was run down by an automobile driven by Ray Nugent, 2612 Harney street, at Twenty-third and Cuming streets. He suffered a cut knee. Burg was wheeling a wheelbarrow across the street when the accident happened. According to E. Skog- lund, Jsll curt street, a witness, Nugent had only one headlight.
