Exemption Proviso Left in;
General Deficiency Bill After
fc Savage Attack by Rep

Pershing Blanketed His. Window to Study; I
Chum Crawled Under Bed, When the Guard Came
By E. C. SNYDER.
(Staff Coresnondence.)
Washington, Sept. 21. "The cold
type in a roll call doth make
cowards of us all" to paraphrase one
of William of Avons oft repeated
utterances. Friday when the house
in committee of the whole had un
der discussion the general deficiency
bill of the present fiscal ' year
Republican Fess of Ohio made a sav
age attack on the item appropriating
S200.000 for the enforcement of the
anti-trust law carrying the provi
sion that no part of the money was
to be spent in the prosecution of
labor or farmer organizations who
have organized for the purpose of
increasing wages, shortening hours
or bettering the conditions of labor
or who are banded together for the
purpose of obtaining fair and
reasonable prices for their -products.
Mr. Fess thought this proviso
rank discrimination and insisted that
the time had arrived, judged by the
rapid drift of disintegrating forces
against law and order throughout
the world, for the American people
to make an issue upon making law
that will apply to everybody alike
and thereby exempt nobody. He
followed up his speach with a mo
tion to strike out the entire limita
tion. After extended debate the mo
tion of Mr. Fess was adopted by the
ommittee 90 to S3.
Vote to Recede.
Saturday's action" told a different
i.tory whetfthe house by a vote of 203
to 28 refused to follow the lead of
Mr. Fess and kept the item in the
')ill as it came from the appropria
iions committee, limitation and all.
Messrs Jefferies, Andrews, Mc
Laughlin and Kinkaid of Nebraska
voted to recede from the committees
'.otion and Republican Evans voted
vith Mr. Fess to strike out the pro
viso. The explanations for the vote of
he majority of the Nebraska mem
ers is that the Clayton anti trust
ill excludes labor organizations
.rom its operation but leaves farm
ers associations and organizations
iable to prosecution. This the
ebraska members thought was an
lutragous discrimination and rather
han revert to the operation of the
Clayton anti-trust act they voted
i keep both provisos in force.
In discussing certain features of
lie general deficiensy bill which the
louse had under consideration Sat
""rday, with particular reference to
item of $263,000 appropriated for
he immigration service, Congress
'ian Andrews said the deficiency
ad occurred through the neglect of
he head of that bureau. That the
.... "laries in question were paid out
f lump sum appropriation and
Tierefore nothing in excess of the
. impropriation actually made could
" incurred as legal obligation on
.1.' government.
; War Argument Obsolete.
lr. Andrews further said that it
-.s charged that a mistake had been
:uie by an incompetent. "It is
iic," he remarked,, "to discontinue
,'ie argument of war pressure for
i :e payment of unwarranted ex
:nsca. by the immigration bureau
! any other agency of the govern
ment for that matter."'
. After suggesting that the iten
-ould be sent to the committee of
;:penditures for the labor depart
ment for a searching investigation,
..lieving that such an examination
, as necessary in the interest of the
ublic service to ward off error and
"event future claims of a similar
ara'cter, the congressman front the
itth district said, If this item
iould be passed without challenge
would be an invitation, not only to
lat bureau, but to others to repeat
. c same mistakes.

Guard Duty, and Visitation of the Ghosts Was

' Prihioi'i Letter Continued.)
"This bringsp a period of West
Point life whose vivid impressions
will be the last to fade. Marching
into camp, piling bedding, policing
company streets of logs of wood
(matches) carelessly dropped by
upper classmen, pillow fights at
tattoo, with Marcus .Miller (a tac
tical officer) saber drawn, marching
up and down superintending the
plebe class, policing up feathers from
the general parade, light artillery
Jrills, double timing around old Fort
"linton, at morning, squad drill,
Wiley T3ean (a classmate), and the
sad fate of his seersucker coat, mid
night dragging and the whole sum
mer full of events can only be men
tioned in passing.
"Hah! Who Sits There?"
"No one can ever forget this first
guard tour, with all its preparation
and perspiration. I got along all right
during the day, but at night on the
color line my troubles began. Of
course, I was scared beyond the
point of properly applying any of my
orders. A tew minutes atter tans
ghosts of all sorts began to appear
from all directions. I selected a par
ticularly bold one and challenged ac
cording to orders:
'"Halt! Who comes there?'
"Whereupon the ghost, who was
carrying a thair, sat down, when I
pomptlv said:
; " 'Haiti Who sits there?'
Crawled Under Bed.
"After plebe camp came plebe
math (mathematics) and French. I
never stood high in Fjench and was
prone to burn the midnight oil. One
night Walcutt ' and Bentle Mott,
classmates, came in to join me. The
guard, who was in charge, coming
up the stairs several steps at a time,
Mott sprang across the hall into his
own room. I snatched the blanket
from the window, turned out the
lights and leaped into bed, clothing
and all, while Walcutt, seeing escape
impossible, gently woke Hunt and
in a whisper said, 'Lucy, may I crawl
under your bed?'
"I paid the penalty by walking six
tours of extra duty.
. "The rest of it yearling camp and
its release from plebedom, the first
appearance in the riding hall of the
famous '86 New England cavalry (so
named in ridicule of the New Eng
land men of the class, none of them
could ride well when he entered
West Point), furlough and the re
turn up the Hudson on the Mary
Powell, second class year, with its
increasing responsibilities aq.d dig
nity, must all be gassed with slight
notice.
Girls There Were, Too.
"While th days were not always
filled with unalloyed pleasure, to be
sure, yet no matter how distasteful
anything else may have been up' to
thatHfime, there is none of us who
would not gladly live first camp over
again summer girls, summer hops,
first class privileges, possible en
gagements, 28th hop, then the home
stretch. ,
"As we look back from the dis
tance of quarter of a century" the
years went by all too rapidly.
"The career of '86 at West Point
was in many ways remarkable. There
were no cliques, no dissensions; and
personal prejudices or selfishness, if
?ny existed, never came to the sur
face. Fronj the very day we entered,,
the class as a unit, has always stood
for t!je vcrybest traditions of West
Point. The spirit of old West Point
existed to a higher degree in the
class of '86 than in any class since
the war.
All Solid Men..
"These characteristics were car
ried w'th us into the army and have
marked the splendid course of the
class during the past 25 years. The
class of '86 has always been known
in the army and is known today as
a class of all-around solid men men
capable of ably performing any duty
and loyally-fulfilling any trust. The
individual character of each man
made itself felt upon his fellows in
the army from the start.
"In civil life, as professional men,
or as men of affairs, wherever
placed, the class of '86 has always
made good.
"Well may we congratulate our
selves, upon reaching this quarter
century milestone, on the achieve
ments of the class,
"If I thought you would listen
longer I would continue, but the
evening will be full of song and
reminiscence.
"Here's to '86."
"Those of us out here will as
semble in Manila and wish we were
with you at West Point. It may be
that age and experience will pre
vent a repetition of the lurid scenes
enacted at the class dinner in New
York in '86. Yet when you feel time
turn backward and the hnt blood of
those days again courses through
your veins there is no telling what
may happen. Still all will be con7
doned. '

"Doer of Deeds."
One of his classmates, a Boston
man, Major Henry Clay Keene,
commandant at present of the state
guard at the Springfield armory in
Springfield, Mass., describes Fer
shing as a "doer of deeds."
"Jack Pershing." he said to me, "as
a cadet at West Point and before
that time and always since has been
a doer ot deeds a man of action.
He was a natural leader of men at
West Point, even as he is today. We
recognized this. Cadets in the class
es ahead of us and behind us rec
ognized it. Jack- Pershing was re
spected by every cadet in West
Point., '
Had Great Strength.
"He was an ideal soldier, i He had
a wonderful physitjue. That and his
great strength have helped to carry
him where he is today. He has been
able to withstand the hardships of
campaigning. At West Point he was
picked by the tactical officers as' the
best cadet soldier. He was made
senior cadet corporal, then first cor
poral, then first sergeant, then sen
ior aptain. He was an excellent shot
with the rifle and with the revolver."
Clinched His Teeth.
But praise of Jack Pershing, cadet,
was not confined to his classmates. ,
Lieut. Col. Wirt Robinson has suc
ceeded Colnoel Tillman as professor
of chemistry. In the cadet days of
Jack Pershing Colonel Robinson
was in the class behiad the class of

Classmates of Pershing at West
Point:
when 1 entered West Point," Colonel
Robinson told me. "I recall him as
a steady-going chap. Especially do I
recall his wonderful physique, his
powerful, square-shouldered form
and his square-jawecj face. How he
could clinch his teeth!
"Have you ever noticed a coach
man's physiognomy ? I don't mean
the army mule driver who can swear
at his mules when they are unruly. I
mean the old-fashioned coachman
who drives his masler and rfiistress
and has to control not only his
horses but himself, who cannot
swear when his horses are unruly.
That man comes to have a certain
physiognomy I think of such a
physiognomy such a type when I
recall Jack Pershing's jaw. He could
control men. And at the same lime
he could control himself."

Paris, Sept. 21. LiLttle headway
has been . made in the case of Lan
dru, "the Gambais Bluebeard," as
the French papers term him, who is
charged by the police with being
responsible for the disappearance
of 13 women to whom he had prom
ised marriage.
The police have been investigat
ing1 for four months and four times
a week Landru is taken trom tne
prison of La Sante to the office
of Judge Bonin whose questions as
to the late of the 13 women elicit
from Laudru evasive and at times
very witty responses. They have
got as far as' sweetheart number
three and Landru's flippant replies
have nearly driven the judge to
nervous prostration. S ,
"Kids" the Judge.
Yesterday the judge announced
H that lie was going for a holiday.
Landru immediately chipped in with
the request that he, too, be per
mitted to take a vacation" as the
regime of La Sante did not agree
with him. Might he not be al
lowed to go to his villa at Gambais
and hold himself at the disposition
of the court? It was from Gambais
villa that Landru's future spouses
disappeared never to be heard of
since. .
Judge Bonin was asking Landru
this week how it was that his son
who assisted him in removing the
furniture of three of his financees
did not make queries when moving
that of Mrs. Guillin. the third re
moval of furniture in six months.
"Did he not find it strange?"' asked
the judge.
i'My children obey my orders,
they do not discuss them," respond
ed Landur, ,"I have my misgivings
aso. the way you bring up your
children, judge," he added senten
tiously. No Trace of Women.
Landru contended that he had an
order from Mrs. Guillin, drawn up
in legal form giving him full power
of attorney to administer her prop
erty. "This document was not found
among your papers, therefore, I
must conclude that it never existed,"
said the judge. ,
"And as you and your police, with
all the means at your command are
unable to find Mrs.' Guillin, I must
therefore conclude that she never
existed," countered Landru.
Not one vestige of the missing
women has been found and the
charge of murder against Landru is
growing weaker.- There is no "cor
pus delicti." The villa at Gambais
has been ransacked by the police
and ponds in the vicinity of the
villa have been drained, but it would
appear that -the women , have van
ished into thin air. To questions
as to the probable whereabouts of
the missing women, his relations
with them prior to their disappear
ance, Landru invariably replies: "I
am a man of the world, I cannot be
tray the confidence of women."

The News Mrs. Durkee Blurted Out
to Madge.
June loafted its lazy length along
and somehow neither of us ever
knew just how Alice Holcombe
and I managed to pull the Bayview
high school pupils through the try
ing ordeals of "Regents" (the final
examinations prescribed by the
state board), and to wind up the
business of the year in fairly credit
able fashion. '
Kenneth Stockbridge, behind jail
bars, still retained" his dogged, in
comprehensible silence. From Alice,
who, of course, was in a position to
know all the gossip of the village,
I learned that the principal's uncle
his parents, fortunately, were both
dead had arrived in the village,
bringing with him an eminent attor
ney for the defense of his nephew.
The uncle was rich, Alice said,
and had never treated his nephew
decently, but his family pride would
not permit him to leave any stone
unturned that might prevent a
smirch upon the family name. But
it was rumored that the eminent le
gal ligTit had had no better success
in getting Kenneth Stockbridge to
talk than had the principal's oppon
ents.
Trying Days.
Milly Stockbridge's body had been
laid to rest in the village cemetery
after a garish public funeral, which
all of the teachers except myself at
tended. I pleaded a convenient
headache and sent a beautiful cluster
of flowers with my card and Dicky's
attached. I knew, of course, that I
would never return to the Bayview
school, but not even if my livelihood
had depended upon it could I have
attended that funeral. It took all
the courage I could muster to make
the forma! brief call at the home that
courtesy demanded. I '
I shall always ( look back upon
those closin weeks of school as
among the most irksome of my life.
1 always begrudge every moment ot
June that I spend indoor anyway,
and when to the discomfort of
spending the long, beautiful summer
days in the stuffy schoolrooms was
added, the unpleasantness of the
queer conditions , surrounding my
work and the irritation of Dicky's
behavior, I felt that my favorite
month had turned anything ybut a
smiling face to me.
Not that 1 spent mucn time tret
tins' over Dicky's persistence in his
p'an cf remaining away from home
until I should explain to him the
emotion he had misinterpieted upon
the morning I had stolen down to
tret the newspaper. In the rirst year
of my marriage, such a decision upon
Ins part would have ooweie to tne
earth with grief and humiliation.
But time has brought me sanity,
tinged more or less with whimsical
umorous comprehension ot my hus
band's vagaries I think marriage,
iiappy marriage -usually brings that
blessing to wives, and I was reason-
blv sure that Dicky s action was
only a stubborn adhering to his po
sition because he had taken it so
vehemently, and that in all probabil
ity he was as anxious to return
home as I was to have him come
back.
A Poser for Madge.
And I had a very special and
sentimental reason for believing
that his return would not be de-
son would celebrate his first birth
day anniversary. Dicky, whom lit
tle Mrs. Curtis', with reason, dubs
the "daffiest of daddies," had been
making all sorts of absurd plans
for the celebration of the event,
which, fortunately for my school
work, fell upon a Sunday. I was
sure that not even Dicky's stubborn
temper would keep him from the
baby and me upon this day. If lH
did, I told myself inconsistently, he
could stay away until Junior's next
birthday anniversary for . all I
cared.
But the day began 'to grow dan
gerously near with no sign from
Dicky. My mother-in-law, from the
day following Dicky's departure,
had preserved absolute silence upon
the subject, although I expected an
outburst from her at any time.
Little Mrs. Durkee was less dis
creet. She came over often in the
evening since the departure of the
Fairfax girls, their delightful visit
over, for their New York apart
ment. "I'd much better have 'em out
here for good," she grumbled one
evening when she had tripped
across the lawn after supper, a
dainty little vision in lavender ruf
fles. "Alf doesn't spend one eve
ning in 10 home any more, and J'm
just positive he's hanging around
that girl."
"Which girl?" I asked mischiev
ously, "Rita Brown?"
She made a horrified little mouth.
"You're just a cat, Madge Gra
ham," she pouted, half-laughing,
half-serious, "to bring up that girl's
name. If gives me the cold shivers
up and down my spine whenever I
think of her. No, thank goodness,
Alf's cured in that direction, but
I'm afraid", , .
"He' in love with the physician
who cured him," I suggested slyly.
"That's jusfrit!" she retorted petu
lantly. "He's sitting around in
Lelia Fairfax's pocket the whole
blessed time. Of course, she's a
dear I admit that I haven't one
bit of objection to her indeed, I'm
very fond of her, and if Alf has to
marry, I'd rather it -would be she
than any one else. Butfi I don't
want him to leave me yet."
She pouted, wiped her eyes, then
shot a poser at me.
"Alf tells me that Dicky is living
in town for a few weeks. Says he
sees a lot of him over at the Fair--
fax apartment. I don't think vou
ought to stand for that. Madge."

. -'Omaha invites you to Samson's j
silver anniversary' is the slogan q(
this season's fall festival which will
be opened Wednesday, 1 p. m.
There is unusual significance ' in
this invitation, because mis is the
25th year of Omaha's famous booster
organization whose fame has spread
from Broadway in New York City
to Market street, San Francisco, and
from the Great Lakes to the gulf.
When President Wilson was here
two weeks ago, and was about to
leave Union station on his special
train, one of his secret service men
asked a Bee representative for his
Ak-Sar-Ben button. "I have heard
of your wonderful organization and
1 would like to have that button to
wear as a reminder oKOmaha," said
the president's guard. Of course,
The Bee man gave him the button
which he is now wearing somewhere
on the Pacific coast.
Twenty-five Years. .
After a quarter or a century of ef
fort the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben are
as virile as ever, and in fact it may
in truth be said that this year s fes
tivities will eclipse all previous ef
forts, because this is the first fall fes
tival after the period of the war, and
all conditions in this favored part
of the world are auspicious- for a
grand and glorious time during the
10 days of tne festival season.
Thustwith a feeling of pardonable
pride Omaha invites all of the people
of the kingdom of Quivera to come
to the chief of the seven cities of
Cibola and "kiss their fingertips to
worry" and join in the frolic which
has -been arranged by the men who
are so deft in this art.
Shows Arrive Tonight.
The Con T. Kennedy shows, on 8
railroad cars, are due here tonight
from Chippewa Falls, Wis. The
shows will at once be set up on the
carnival grounds at Fifteenth street
and Capitol avenue, and precisely at
1 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, the
Lgates of the grounds will be swung
wule to admit the thousands of
merrymakers who wiil swarm
through the stiles. The grounds
will be open every day from 1 to 11
p. m., except Sunday. There are 25
shows in the bookings this season
and Omaha has the word of J. D.
Weaver, secretary of Ak-Sar-Ben,
that the shows will be better than
ever, because he went to Michigan
to look them over before he closed
the Omaha contract. Con Kennedy
and his shows have been here before
and his reputation as an amusement
caterer is well known here.
Big Parades.
Emphasis is again placed on the
electrical pageant which will be pre-
i sented on Wednesday evening, Octo
ber I, the theme being Famous
Love Stories." Gus Renze, chief
artificer, is busy at the Den putting
the finishing touches on the floats
which, will be a revelation of artistic
achievement. The first float will be
a genuine surprise, it is promised.
The automobile floral parade Thurs,
day, 2 p. m., October 2, will be an
other spectacle of decorative artis
try. More than 100 automobiles will
appear- in competition for $2,000 in
prizes.
Annual Ball. '
Friday evening, October 3, is the
date of the annual Ak-Sar-Ben ball,
which has taken its place as a classic i
event, and being an occasion which
has grown to be of state-wide im
portance. The carnival grounds will be open
until Saturday night, October 4,
when the lights will be turned off.
Omahas having spare rooms they
wish to rent to visitors during the
festival season are requested to com
municate with the information bu

BOLSHEVIK GIRL
LYNCHED BY MOB;
KICK DEAD BODY
Signer of Death Warrants in
, Minsk Torn to pieces on -Way
to Jail. ,
Minshk, Sept. 21. The boUlicyiki
arc no longer popukir here.
"To a dog's death 1" These words,
spoken by a woman as she kicked
the dead body of the secretary of tke
soviet as it still lay in the,
street where the man had been shot '
by Polish soldiers, express the bit
ter hatred of the people for bolshc
visni. The woman, who was president
of the local "extraordinary : tribunal -for
combating counter-revolution,"
who signed death warrants for the
miserable persons who were execu
ted almost daily, was literally torn
to pieces by a mob while she was
being taken through the. streets to
ward the jail.
In addition to those filled, some '
3,000 were deported to Bobruisk
: and Smolensk.
j The peasants become rich by the
I salr of their produce. Their chief
I grievance was that their money s
i could not buy the things they want,
, for the simple reason that these
' things do not exist, as the nianufac
i turing industry has broken down
from lack of transport, coal and raw
materials.
