fired by unknown parties at a place

found in a ravine in Washington
county at a point about 14 miles

1919."
This was the verdict 7 the coro
ner' jury, which conducted an in
fluest yesterday afternoon over the
body of the unidentified woman
found last Thursday in the gully off
tlie Kidge road near Calhoun.
, The same verdict was returned by
a coroner's jury severaljdays ago in
Washington county. Miss Grace

pect Hill cemetery.
: ' Guy P. Dorsey, deputy county sur
veyor, was the first witness intro
duced. He was Questioned regard
ing the county lines following ex
pressions of doubt recently as to
whether the body was found in
Washington or Douglas county. Mr.
f)orscy declared he had run the
boundary line lately and found that
the bodv was discovered in Wash
ington county one mile from the
southern boundary of that county.
Report of Autopsy,
Dr.' Samuel McCleneghan, county
physician, was the next witness
called. He testified the cause of
death was a bullet entering just be
low the left ear and emerging two
Inches back of the right ear. There
Were powder burns at the entrance
Of the bullet, he said, indicating the
weapon was held close to the wom
an's head when it was fired.
Witness declared that there was
no alcohol in the stomach, and that
the woman bad eaten a meal of
chicken and vegetables less than an
hour befcre she was killed. The!
county physician asserted his belief I
that some of the bruises ana con
fusions on the head and body had
been inflicted before death. Others
iray have been caused by the fall
when the body was turned over tne
embankment into the ravine, he
said.
Dr. E. S. Gleason of Fort Cal

of the wound which resulted in
death,'

ts to the condition of the body and
the ground near where it was found.
All indications, they declared,
(ointed to the fact that the body was

"There is no gentleman in the

made a dennite oner to enncr wie
miners or ooerators. but . that he
merely suggested a basis on which

Dr. Garfield said the cabinet ap
oroved the basis of settlement as
presented.
Garfield Statement
Dr. Garfield's statement to the
ioint conference of miners and oper
:.trtrs follow r '
On the 24th instant I announced
that the public must not be asked to
pay more than it is now paying for
coal, unless it is necessary to do so
in order to provide reasonable wages
to the mine workers and a reasonable
profit to the operators. Careful in
vestication forces me to the conclu
sion that in accordance with this and
the other principles set forth on the
24tli instant, the public might not to
De requirea xo pay any increase m
coal prices at this time.
"The prices fixed by the govern
ment on coai were caicuiarea 10 in
crease production for war purposes,
Coal was basic and the increase in
production was imperative. The
ooerators are now in receipt of mar
gins which were necessary to effect
that increase of production, but
which are larger than are required
under present conditions. It was es
timated that the production needed
for 1918 was 600,000.000 tons. Ihe
stimate for 1919 is 500.000,000.
Increase by Deduction.
"Applying the principles set forth
in paragraph two of the statement of
November 24, when the average in
creases in wages since 1913 for the
various classes of mine workers are
deducted from the increase in - the
cost of living since that time, we ar
rive at the amount of additional in
crease in wages justifiable at the
present time.
"I have ftken the figures of the
bureau of libor statistics for both
cost and hvin and for the weighted
averatre of wage increases. Accord
ing to these figures the cost of liv-
- mrt o , A 1 i
ing nas r:sen y.o per cent since iyio,
and the amount necessary to bring
the average wages of mine workers
up to this point at the present time
:s 14 per cent.
Fears to Add Burdens.
, "Readjustment heretofore made
since 1913 were such as to give
certain clases of mine workers an
average increase in excess of the in
crease in the cost of living and cer
tain others nj average increase . be
low the increase in the cost of liv
ing. This formal adjustment was
made in order to establish .or pre
serve certain relative basis in the
mining industry. ,. I do -not think
this condition, however, ought to
result in giving to mine workers as
a whole, and in consequence im
posing upon the public, a total aver
age increase in excess of the total
average increase in the cost of liv
ing, because if this course be adopted
the result would be that the total
increased burden placed upon the
mining industry will be far in ex
cess of the increase in the cost of
living. If this principle were ap
plied in industries generally it is
obvious that the resulting cost
would be passed along to the gen
eral public and the increased wages
would increase in. a rapid spiral
taking as a minimum the percentage
of increase in the cost of living. In
the long run, this would add many
new and serious burdens to the cost
of living of the entire public and
would fall more injuriously upon the
working classes than upon any
others.
Government Control.
"It seems to me that the reason
able way to deal with this situation
is to give to the industry as a whole
an average increase commensurate
with the increase in the cost of liv
ing and then let that amount of in
creases be apportioned in accord
ance with the wage bases that are
acceptable to the employers and the
employes. -
, "Control of prices by the govern
ment will be maintained for the
present.
'The present negotiation stands
by itself, but it is far from disposing
of the fundamental controversy be
tween operators and mine workers.
That controversy is bound to be a
continuing one as matters now
stand. It involves living conditions
and conditions in the mines, as well
as wages and profits, and the gen
eral relation between operators and
mine workers. Therefore, to aid in
applying the principles which have
governed us and which should gov
ern in reaching conclusions in the
future it is urged that a permanent
consulative body., with purely ad
visory powers be set up, consisting
of the secretary of interior as chair
man and an equal number of repre
sentatives of the operators and of
the mine workers, chosen in such
manner as they may each determine
from time to time.
Wants Definite Data.
"In order that the data necessary
for the consideration of this body
may at all times be available it is
urged that the congress make provi
sion for collecting definite and trust
worthy information concerning the
coal and coke industry and for the
tabulation of the same in quarterly

"4. The selling prices and profits

General Angeles spent the few

OAKFORD 7"""
MO&ic Co. 0maha Neb--
A discourse on Shakespeare by the
incomparable Sir Johston Forbes
Robertson was the treat offered by
the Fine Arts Wednesday afternoon
to an audience which comfortably
filled the ball room of the Hotel
Fontenelle.' Mrs. Louis Nash ore
sented the speaker, referring to the
spoken word as one of the fine arts.
Before "engaging his hearers in the
real movement of his theme, Forbes
Robertson asked leave to present his
credentials, which proved to be a
father and mother who encouraged
the early study of the great dram
atist, presenting him in a play at the
age of 14 and in legitimate acting
at the age of 21 under Samuel
Phelps, the famous tragedian. .
Back to Garrick.
He traced his histrionic pedigree
back to David Garrick, saying, "I am
a link between today and the classic
past. I have been a long and ardent
student of Shakespeare, and the fact
that I was trained by the best actor
of the time, make up my credentials
for speaking to you on the chosen
Eubject this afternoon." The speaker
was seated during the preliminary
remarks. "I sit down .because I want
this part to be familiar," he ex
plained.
"There are 17 comedies in the first
folio of Shakespeare. The Tempest,
Measure for Measure and Winter's
Tale are classed as comedies. These
are in reality serious dramas, and
tragis in character, though they end
happily. In' our day we would call
them romantic drama, of plays,
which words seem to fit the char
acter of the play better than the
word comedy.
One-Third in Prose;
"Those who worshio at the shrine
of Shakespeare are so carried away
by the beauty of his verse that they
are apt to forget what wonderful
passages are in his prose. In all his
plays there are 104,530 lines. Of
these, 76,530 are in verse and 28,000
in prose considerably more than
one-third in prose. Only four plays
are without prose King John, Rich
ard II, the third part of Henry VI
and Lonolanus. Merry Wives of
Windsor contains only 119 verse
lines and Much Ado About Nothing
is, to all intents and purposes, a
prose play. . ,
In the opinion of Forbes-Robertson
it is not true that prose is used
by Shakespeare only when dealing
with a familiar subject. "The
thought is often exalting and really
poetry, though written in prose.
King .Lear, Lady Macbeth and
Ophelia speak frequently in prose.
"It is a significant fact," the au
dience was told, "that Shakespeare
ejected obviously to have his mad
people or those affecting madness,
speak in prose. .
"We all have our idols in past his
tory those of us who trudy or read
ot the past I have two, Garibaldi
and Abraham Lincoln.
At this the audience gave warm
applause. ,n explained Shake
speare's treatment of Julius Caesar
by a theory that Caesar was Shake
speare s historic idol.
"He mentioned Caesar 10 times as
often as any other great person in
the past," declared the speaker. "He
reserved his glorious impassioned
iambics for Mark Antony in his
defense of Caesar, while other char
acters in that scene were made to
speak in prose.
"Except for King Lear, Henry V
and the french king in Henry V
and six lines in Henry VIII, no king
speaks in prose, nor any queen, ex
cent Lady Macbeth when mad."
Shakespeare was 40 years old in
1604 when Hamlet was written, and
in the opinion of Forbes-Robertson
Hamlet speaks more like a mati of
40 than one of 30 which the grave
digger tells us he was. It was stated
that there are 3,885 lines in Ham
let. 2,779 of which are verse, leav
ing nearly one-third of the play to
prose.
Characters, Seem Real.
'"Was Hamlet mad?' We ask
the question that way instead of
saying, Did bhakespeare intend the
character . of Hamlet to be mad?'
The characters are so real to us that
we think of them directly. Person
ally, the question when it is put to
me, makes me mad.
Then followed a series of recitals
of famous passages from the won
derful tragedy, elucidated with all
the delicacy and magnetism of per
sonality of which forbes-Kobertson
is capable and for which he is fa
mous.
"If Hamlet was mad," said this
great exponent of Shakespeare,
"then would I be mad, for I would
be the most wonderful person of
the 19th century."
After each of Forbes-Robertson s
many recitations of Shakespearean
passages, hearty applause from the
audience gave proof of full appre
ciation of his exquisite interpreta
tion of thought and surpassing mas
tery of the fine art of the spoken
word.
