FLIVVER AND CHILD
BOTH REQUIRE CARE
New York, Sept. 24. (By Univer
sal Service.) "There is no reason
why a child should not have as much
care as a flivver. When you go out
to buy an automobile you get a book
of instructions, study its machinery
and learn as much about it as you
can. How many mothers do the
same thing with their children?"
. This was part of the plea tor the
physical, mental and moral welfare
. of children made today by Dr. Hen-
ry L. K. Shaw of Albany, before the
International Conference of Women
Physicians.
"The auto needs air in its tires,"
' e said, "and the child needs air in
its lungs. The auto is looked over
by an expert once a year. Surely
the child is entitled to the same
care. The child, like the auto, needs
proper feeding rrtixture. Its cylin
ders must be kept clean"

League of Nations' Existence
Not Contingent on U. S.
Ratification, He Tells French
Deputies.
SECRET TREATIES WILL
PRESERVE "BIG THREE"
Vote in American Senate
Tuesday Postponing Consid
eration of Amendments
Causes Surprise in France.
Paris. Sept. 24. (By The Asso
ciated Press.) In an explanation to
the chamber of deputies today, Pre
micd Clemenceau. after declaring
that the league of nations could ex
ist even though rejected by the
United States senate, asserted that
it was precisely because the French
felt that the league of nations was
an insufficient guarantee for some
years to come that the protective
treaties of alliance between France,
Great Britain and the United States
were drawn tip.
The possibility of non-ratification
of the peace treaty and the cove
nant of the league of nations by the
United States senate, the conse
quences in such event to the guar
antee for the future of France and
the question whether the league
could exist without the United States
as a member occupied the entire
afternoon's debate.
Postponement Significant.
The vote in the United States
senate yesterday, postponing con
sideration of one of the amend
ments, is regarded as significant,
and caused surprise in the French
chamber. Louis Barthou repeated
ly asked the government for expla
nation. Andre Tardieu and M. Pichon, the
foreign minister, replied, but the
chamber was not satisfied. Premier
Clemenceau then declared that even
in the event of the United States
senate not voting for the league of
nations covenant, the league could
exist. The treaties constituting a
protective alliance between France,
Great Britain and the United States,
he added, were not dependent upon
the league. They would come into
force, and France would be pro
tected. Asks Immediate Reply.
During the course of M. Tardieu's
speech M. Barthou interrupted and
demanded an immediate reply as to
what situation France would be

In City of New York
New York, Sept. 24. A storm of
cheering greeted announcement at
a mass meeting of New York Print
ing Pressmen's Union 51, one of
the "big six," that publishers who

Belgian Royalty to
Visit Omaha Among
Other Western Cities
Washington, D. C, Sept. 24.
(Special.) It was unofficially an
nounced today that King Albert and
Queen Marie of Belgium will visit
Omaha on their trip to the west.
The date of their visit was an
nounced as October 25.

Regulate Railways Rates
Washington, Sept. 24. Without
a record vote, the house passed and
sent to conference a "bill granting
authority to the interstate com
merce commission to regulate rates
with the same power it exercised
prior to government control.
Tears and plea for another chance
to make good failed to move Judge
Wheeler of Council Bluffs, who yes
terday revoked the parole of Jim-
j mie Cosgrove and ordered that he
be sent at once to the Iowa peni
tentiary. With hands manacled Cosgrove
tried to explain the occasion of
the wild automobile ride through
' Omaha streets which landed him
behind the bars at Council Bluffs,
Monday evening.
Standing alone he threw his head
hack and looked Judge Wheeler
squarely in the face as he made his
tearful plea.
Begs for Leniency.
"I want to explain it all, judge,
and convince you I did not intend
to violate the parole or do anything
wrong. I thought the parole did not
begin until September 23, and I was
just having a farewell party on the
22d before I left the two states for
ever the next day. I had sent all of
my furniture to Colorado and my
wife and babies are out there now.
My friends planned a nice little
farewell party for me. We had some
whisky,' but I only - took three
drinks. If you'll 'let me go, judge.
I'll promise you I'll get out at once
and none of you will ever see me
again 'unless you come out to my
fine new home upon which I still
owe $1,400. Let me go, judge, please
let me go! Cive me another chance
and I'll never bother you again 1"
"Another chance," for which Jim
mie so pitifully pleaded was denied
by the judge, who ordered his pa
role revoked immediately and Jim
mie sent to Anamosa forthwith. A
fatherly lecture preceded his de
cision. The parole was granted after Cos
grove pleaded guilty to grand jury
indictments for participation in two
raids upon the William Rodenberg
farm near McClelland, where, it
was charged, he impersonated peace"
officers in an endeavor to locate a
cache of "whisky which was reported
to be stored on the farm. The pa
role was granted in order to' allow"
Cosgrove - to obey Federal Judge
Woodrough's order permanently
banishing him from the state.
Dies of Heart Failure
While Being Tortured,
New Theory of Police !
Chicago, Sept. 2 That W. H.
Purcell, who was found dead in his
apartments on the north side last
Monday, died from heart failure
while he was being tortured in an
effort to make him disclose the
hiding place of a fortune in securi
ties and cash was the theory on
which the police have started work
in their effort to clear up the death
of the wealthy song writer and real
estate man.
The new and startling explana
tion of the crime was advanced fol
lowing the discovery that $25,000 in
liberty bonds which Purcell hadJ,
secreted in his apartment, were miss
ing. The police believe thieves
learned the hiding place of the
bonds from their victim and were
trying to force further information
from him when he died of heart
failure.
Purcell's body was bound with
ropes, and there was a gag in his
mouth when the police entered the
flat.
Constable Gets Beer
Cargoes and Trucks
Seized in Illinois
Chicago, Sept. 24. Federal Judge
Landis dismissed a petition for an
injunction and receivership involv
ing 16. auto trucks and their car
goes of beer, seized at Zion City,
111., while being smuggled across
the Wisconsin-Illinois line. He
held for grand jury investigation 39
Chicago saloon keepers and one
truck owner. The hearing has not
yet ended.
The beer cargoes and the trucks,
which one attorney declared were
valued at upwards of $100,000, now
revert to the possession of a Zion
City constable, who seized them.
The jurist made a distinction be
tween the saloonkeepers. For those
who freely admitted they had sold
beer made by Milwaukee and other
breweries, he fixed bonds of $2,500.
But the bond for those who stood
on their constitutional rights and
refused to answer questions, he
placed at $15,000 each.
Firearms Are Confiscated
by Police in Strike Zone
Farrel, Pa., Sept. 24. More than
100 pistols, rifles and shotguns were

here when every house in the riot
zone was searched. The searching
parties met with no resistance and
all was quiet in the city throughout
the day.
Seventy-five persons were arrest
ed on the streets for cartying guns.
They were given preliminary hear
ings tonight and were bound over
for the October term of Mercer
county court on charges of carrying
concealed veapons. Th bail in
each case wa set at $1,000.

j. tic imiu uay ui luc gicdl sicci
strike passed without either capital
or labor having made any apparent
material gains. Last night atten
tion-was being focussed in Wash
ington, where the inquiry into the
industrial struggle by the senate
labor committee is to open today.
From their respective headquar
ters, industrial leaders and directors
of the strike issued their usual con
flicting statements, which, left still
in doubt the exact number of work
ers who have walked out. William
Z. Foster, secretary of the strikers'
national committee, claimed that in
the various steel center 15,000 more
men had abandoned their posts,
bringing the total to 342,000, but in
the crucial Pittsburgh district, of
ficials of the United States Steel cor
poration and several independents,
asserted that the stream of labor
turned and was flowing into the
mills. '
After Wavering Strikers.
According to reports from Pitts
burgh, where union labor leaders
held a general parley to consider
conduct of the strike, managers of
the plants are seeking now to take
the offensive. Not content with
merely holding what forces remain
with them, they are said to be try
ing to induce wavering strikers to
return. On the other hand, labor's
recruiting forces are not inactive, as
shown by the fact that organizers
from the mine workers' union have
been called to reinforce agents of
the steel workers' union in enrolling
nonunion workers.
As in Pittsburgh, the situation in
Chicago also was clouded by con
flicting reports. The' industry in
that section, though crippled by the
closing of many plants, was by no
means tied up and company offi
cials claimed additions had been
made to the reduced force with
which they were continuing oper
ation. Fabricating Plants Hit.
In the Youngstown district, where
advances were claimed by the strik
ers, the strike spread yesterday to
fabricating plants in Youngstown,
which were closed, as was the
Youngstown Pressed Steel com
pany. Paralysis of production in tha
Mahoning Valley, caused by idle
ness of 44,000 workers, continues,
every plant being closed.
From Canton, O.. came the an
nouncement by the general manager
of the Canton Sheet Steel company
that his men, numbering 1,200, had
voted to return to work.
In the Colorado district plants of
jpany in Pueblo, which closed Mon-
uaj, remain ciuseu, ana, accorumg
to officials, will make no effort to
operate with strikebreakers.
Yesterday was marked by a sharp
decrease in violence. Although riot
ing occurred in Cleveland, order
reigned in Buffalo, N. Y., and
Pittsburgh, Newcastle and Farrell,
Pa., the storm centers Tuesday.
To Appeal to Senate.
Pittsburgh, Sept. 24. The fight of
the striking steel workers in the
Pittsburgh district for the right of
free speech and free assemblage will
be carried to the United States sen
ate, John Fitzpatrick of Chicago,
chairman of the committee for or
ganizing iron and steel workers, an
nounced here tonight at the close of
the committee meeting. He said that
he would leave at once for Wash
ington to present the strikers' ap
peal to the senate committee inves
tigating the strike, before which he
will testify tomorrow.
Mr. Fitzpatrick declared thai; the
situation was critical in this district
because of brutal assaults by the
state police on strikers. He charged
that they had clubbed and run down
women and children with their
horses at Clairton Homestead and
McKeesport.
Frank P. Walsh, former chairman
of the national war labor board,
wired tonight that he would arrive
in Pittsburgh within a few days .to
take up the fight of the workers and
investigate local conditions, Mr.
Fitzpatrick said.
Call on Rail Leaders.
Although disinclined to talk about
the committee's meeting today, Sec
retary Foster said that a subcommit
tee had been appointed to meet
with the presidents of the four rail
road brotherhoods to discuss mat
ters "pertaining to the strike."
He refused to go into particulars
regarding the purpose of the meet
ing with the railroad chiefs.
According to Mr. Foster, another,,
committee was appointed to meet
with Sheriff William S. Haddock of
Allegheny county and make a pro
test against the actions of the state
troopers called into the county by
the sheriff.
Several members of the national
committee will remain in Pittsburgh
and act in an advisory capacity in
conducting the strike, said Mr. Fos
ter. The main committee, however,
was adjourned without date,
Grand Island, Neb., Sept. 24.
(Special Telegram.) Seventy-five
determined men, friends of R. L.
Massey 3017 Davenport street,
Union Pacific conductor, who was
murdered in North Platte by Leo
Darling,- negro, who confessed the
crime, marched on the Hall county
jail here with the avowed intention
of lynching Darling
A large part of the crowd was
made up of friends of the murdered
man from North Platte, who made
the trip on a special switch engine.
When the men gathered in front of
the county jail the news spread over
the city like wildfire and a mob of
1,000 thirsting for the blood of the
negro soon congregated.
Railroad Men.
The ringleaders of the mob are
said to be railroad men, with whom
the slain coductor was a great fa
vorite. i After confessing the crime Dar
ling was brought "to Grand Island
for safe-keeping. Today friends of
Massey carefully made plans for the
raid on the jail and informed rail
road men in North Platte of their
action and invited their co-operation.
A daughter of the sheriff of Hall
county, employed in the telegraph
office, learned of the action of the
enraged men and informed her father.
The sheriff immediately called his
deputies and in a high-powered au
tomobile the heavily-armed guards
took their prisoner to Aurora and
then by train to the state peniten
tiary at Lincoln.
Mob Too Late.
When the mob gathered at the
county jail at 10:30, about two hours
after the sheriff's departure, Mrs.

mitted a committee to the office of
the jail and later allowed them to

Triest, Sept. 24. (By The Asso
ciated Press.) So strict are the
regulations at Fiume that it is im
possible for even -the allied com
manders to enter or leave the town.
American headquarters has been
established on board the cruiser
Pittsburgh, under command of Rear
Admiral Andrew, which is anchored
at Abbasia on the bay of Fiume, five
miles northwest of the town of
Fiume. The American consul and ,
all the American residents in Fiume
have been taken aboard the flagship.
A British torpedo boat destroyer
tes at anchor alongside the Pitts
burgh. The French warships up to
the present have remained inside of .
Fiume harbor. The French troops
still remain on the Fiume wharves,
sleeping in Ihe sheds. The staff is
with the men.
Enough Food on Hand
It is estimated that the population
of Fiume and the Fiuman army and
navy have enough food on which to '
subsist for four weeks. An occa
sional Italian boat arrives in the .
harbor bearing foodstuffs, which-arfrnnj
unloaded in spite of the blockade.
A British tramp steamer under
Lieutenant Coles arrived in Triest
this afternoon from Fiuine.
Additional reinforcements to
D'Annunzio forces have raised the
military strength of his contingent
to more than 12,000 men, according
to the estimates of allied officers re
turning from Fiume.
Overcome Jugo-Slavs.
Paris, Sept. 24. An Italian de
tachment, with several armored mo
tor cars, has crossed the line of de
marcation, near Toguire, Dalmatia,
and penetrated the town, after hav
ing overcome the resistance of a
dozen Jugo-Slav soldiers, according
to a dispatch from Belgrade, re
ceived here.
-The dispatch adds . that ; two
American vessels have left Spalato
for Toguire.
Blames President Wilson.
Gen. Giuseppo (Peppind) .Gari
baldi, son of the Italian patriot,' and
a staunch supporter of Gabriele
D'Annunzio in his seizure of Fjume,
arrived in Paris today. In an inter
view he declared that the taking of
Fiume by D'Annunzio was a result
of President Wilson's "open hostil
ity" towards Italian aspirations, and
said that serious results might fol
low if the Italians were not placed in
a position to settle the Fiume ques-,
lion according to the will of the
people.
General Garibaldi said Fiume was'
not beleaguered as had been re
ported, and that the Italian govern
ment was sending food into the city
as usual. He came to Paris, he
asserted, "to get the outside view of
ihe Fiume question," but that his
visit was not an official one, although
Hie had conferred in Rome with Pre
mier Nitti and others.
"The whole situation at Fiume,' .
said Mr. Garibaldi, "is the result of
six months of waiting by the Ital
ians for just treatment, and the re
sentment which arose and turned
into a practical revolt is due to the
open hostility of President' Wilson'
personally towards Italian aspira-:
tions. - . ; . ;
