8 A THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: 'NOVEMBER 16, 1919. Two Women .Tell of Towle's Visit and Interest in Boy Continued From Pace One- full threejiionths to'' which they were sentenced for their part in the , rioting, is best told by Mrs. Warner aud her aged mother, who have made affidavits in addition to their statements. "I regard the actions of, Mr.: Towle as very peculiar," asserted he had more influence with the gov ernor than any one else, and that, if the boys stood by their first state ment, he would obtain their par dons." . Mrs. Chase said Mr. Towle did not tell her he was the foreman of the grand jury when he called. She said he told her his name was Towle r r . . i . .... ..... . . Airs. v.nase. i was at a io tu un-.. HWi sne dIi not know he was a derstaud why Mr. Towle should ' member of the grand jury until she -wait for nearly a month before it j recognized him the following day occurred to him that it was possible j in the grand jury room. 'we were in want. The woman declared that the day Harold supported tne lamuy, anu , following the visit of the grand jury when he was thrown in jail of course we were subjected to hard- viiips." Mrs. Chase is ah aged invalid. Mrs. Warner is a widow and her entire time is consumed in caring- for her mother and a hbuse full of small children. "It was not until Mr. TovJe real ized he could use us that he mani fested a concern for the family," continued Mrs. Chase. "I thought' it extremely singular at the time, but made no comment. I -have thought of the matter a great deal, and the more I ponder the subject the more convinced I am that the grand jury foreman was actuated by a mysterious purpose when he came to our house in the niglu-with his wife and gave me $40. Additional $40. "Mrs. Towle returned the follow-, ing morning and gave Mrs. Warner $40. We were told that the boys likely would be prosecuted for per jury if they repudiate their first statement. "I was asked to go to the jail and' talkto Harold. I was told to use " uiv influence on the boy to get-tiini; to stand by his agreement with the police xraptain. Mr,s Towle declared MENTAL WORK NEEDS A STOMACH Great Mistake to Imagine You Can Work Better and Faster on the Starvation Plan. Eat y What You Like But Fol v low With Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets. Mental work uses up energy, fast. And energy comes from food. To eat little or nothing in order to do more work is a fallacy that has cre ated an army of dyspeptics. A bet ter plan is to eat the regular por tions of food such asrrrake up the average meal and follow each meal with Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. You will then get a double benefit enerev from food and sociability with meals, for as a rule, the light! e;.tcr, or inose wno snip meais, get , into a bad habit, a rut, of hermit like isolation. Do not be afraid of gassincss, sour stomach, heartburn, heavy feeling or coated tongne after meals. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets arouse the stomach to secrete the 'juices necessary to relieve these trouWes that so frequently distress the mental worker. They contain harmless ingredients which act with ?ya alkaline effect, so you may eat the rich things of the banquet or the savory sausage for breakfast with utmost freedom. Get a 50-cent box of Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets at any drug store, eat freely of iwhat you like and yoo will do more' and better work than ' on a skimpy diet. Try this plan. foreman and his wife Captain Haze called on her and told her she was wanted at the court house. She said the policeman did not have a subpoena for her, but he insisted she would have to go and talk to County Attorney Shotwell. Despite the fact that it is the duty of the sheriff to serve grand jury papers, Captain Haze, the man who was being investigated for criminal conspiracy and subornation of 'per jury, was permitted to go to the home of the mother of one of the boy's who swore against him, talk to her privately and escort her to the court house. L,ater Mrs. Chasc'was served with a subpoena and taken into the grand jury room to testify in the investigation of Captain Haze. Mrs. Chase, before appearing be fore the grand jury, was told by County Attorney Shotwell that she should advite her grandson against the chance of being indicted for per jury Jen. the event he changed his story she says, ine woman assert ed she was taken to the office of the county attorney by Captain Haze and allowed to talk to Harold. Accused Man on Guard. "Captain Haze stood immediately outside of the door listening to what Jvve were saying, Mrs. unase ae- clr.red. The conversation between Mrs. Chase and Harold Thorp in the county attorney's office followed the night visit of Mr. Towle and Mrs. Towle, when the woman was told by the grand jury foreman, a pardon would be obtained for her grandson, ffiven monev and warned of the DOS' sibility of Harold's being prosecuted for perjury, just prior to the boy's being called before the grand jury. Mrs. Chase declared she left im mediately for her home after telling her grandson goodbye in the county attorney's office. "I had been home but i a short while when Mr. Shot- Head of Grand Jury Will Not. Discuss Charges Now The importance of getting hold of well called on me to find out whatMr. Towle in order that he might was said in the conversation between my grandson and myself," the wom an continued. "I told him I simply had warned Harold to tell the truth reeardless of the results. Mrs. "Chase also declared that she was advised that Mr. and Mrs, Towle had called on Mrs. Morris, Ernest Morris' 'mother, in her home at 533 South Twenty-secpnd street. Mrs. Warner said she was not at home when the grand jury foreman and his wife called at night. "How ever, Mrs. Towle came to see me the following morning," asserted the woman. "She spoke of her hus barTd's influence with the governor, said he was going to Lincoln in a few days and' would get a pardon for my son. I told her we were going to employ Attorney Magney to try to get Harold out or jail. Mrs. Towle tald. me not to do this. She said her husband had more influence with the governor than any one else and he would be glad to attend to the matter for me. "Mrs. Towle declared her hus band said it was important for my boy to go before the grand jury and say that the story he told Captain Haze concerning The Bee reporter leading a gang of boys to fire the J if jMj'lj - ' f i Si ' ! - t Mary Greaser ONCE PARALYZED NOW NORMAL AND HEALTHY THE RE SULT OF CHIROPRAC TIC ADJUSTMENTS" GIVEN BY DR.

At his office the statement was made that Mr., Towle was out of the city, or intended going out of the city and inquifies were re ferred to his home, have an opportunity to reply to the allegations concerning his activities in the Thorp-Moore-Haze case was then made clear by a narration of the story Jo H. F. Honig, member of the Omaha Structural Steel Co., of which Mr. Towle is presidenj. Told of Story. Mr. Honig was told that, accord ing to the assertions of witnesses Mr. and Mrs. Towle had visited the grandmother of the Thorp boy, and had attempted to persuade her that it would be best if the young man. Thorp, stuck to his original story as told to the grand jury, and upon which the indictment of Mr. Moore was made. He was also told that following .the conversation Mr. Towle had given Mrs. Chase, the grandmother in question, $40 in cash, and that the following morn ing Mrs. Towle again had visited the old lady, giving her daughter another $40 in cash and confirming the inter est in the case that Mr. Towle had expressed to hef the' night before. Mr. Towle Charitable. Mr. Honig expressed surprise at the story, and said that it was quite possible that Mr. Towle had visited the Chase home from a benevolent purpose, as both he and Mrs. Towle were quite charitable, and already had two waifs or unfortunate boys in school. .Attempts were then made to get hold of Mr. Towle at his home, at several banks, in one of which he is a director, and at various other places about the city. He could not be fpund, however, and it was stated that if he were found later in the evening he would be informed bl the situation. Refuses to Make Statement. The search for Mr. Towle re sulted successfully, as he was lo cated at the Athletic club at about 9 with Mr. Honig. '' Mr. Towle asked what The Bee wanted of him, and reply was made that it was to give him an oppor tunity to make a statement concern ing the story, the details of which had been related to Mr. Honig, and which Mr.- Honig, of course, had undoubtedly related to him. Mr. Towle then discussed phases oflie occurrence with Mr. Honig ana saia tnat an tne lormai state ment he wished to make was that he did not care to discuss the affair or be interviewed about it.

Thus liquid silmerine serves also as a beneficial dressing for the hair. It is neither sticky nor creasy, but quite pleasant to use. It should be applied at night with a clean tooth brush, drawing the latter through the hair from root to tip.

New Merico is to be the next field of oil supply for the word, was the declaration of David White, CJhief Geologist of th United States Geological Survey, before tht oil geologists of yie United States and many foreign nations, which was in session lajff August. He-stated that the next great oil supply for the world lies under the state of New Mexico. The United States Government, when New Mexico came as a state, reserved this oil land, which is now open for placer claims. U. S. Placer Laws General Land Office: General Informa tion relative to'Plftcer Oil Claims. By an act of February 17, 1914, was provided that lands chiefly valuable for petroleum or other mineral oils may be entered and patented under laws relatfng to Placer Mineral Claims. Sections 2329. 30 and 81 of the Revised Statutes P. 6). provided how Placer Claims should be located, and the area that may be included 'herein. One person may locate not more than 20 acres in one claim, and an association of Tpersons, up to eight, may locate 160 acres. peing me maximum area mat a riacer Claim may embrace. The Department holds that each locator must have an equal bonafide interest in the claim located. That he cannot lend his name as a locator for the use or benefit of somebody else, and that the use of names who have no finan cial interest in a location is a fraud upon the government. There is no limit as to the number of Placer Claims an individual or an associa tion of persons, may locate. The advan tage of the Association location is that the same amount of expenditure for patent required on each claim, whether it be for 20 acres, or for not to exceed 160 acres. It is necessary that not fcss than 100.00 worth of labor or improvements be made upon the claim each year until you receive Talent.
