Widow of Mexican Patriot Ig
norant of His Execution
When She Died.
New. York, Dee. 8. Senora An
geles, who died Sunday calling for
her husband, Gen. Filipe, -Angeles,
conspired to keep from her knowl
edge of her husband's execution,
not knowing that the Mexican rebel
leader had fallen 10 days ago before
the rifles of a Carranza firing squad
at Chihuahua City, was buried here
Monday. Her body will rest in Long
Island soil until that of General
Angeles can be carried in honor to
Mexico City and interred with hers
in a common grave, the relatives
declared.
Death Affects. -
Although family and friends had
believing that in her weakened
condition the news would be a
death blow, her son Alberto An
geles, said that the execution of her
husband seemed in. some way to
have affected her for she grew steadily-worse
after his capture.
Her last words were a message
to him to "carry on" and not grieve
over her death. .
Simple Service. '
Burial was from the residence of
her sister, for Senora Angeles had
no home of her own after Genera
Anareles left hereto enter Mexieo on
his last mission. Rain was falling
as the hearse, followed by four car
riages, carrying the children and a
few intimate friends, firovt across
the city to the cemetery, where a
simple service was conducted by the
officiating priest. .

"FLYING PARSON"
LAYS FAILURE OF
PILOTS TO BOOZE
"If All Had Been as Soter as
Myself I Wouldn't Have
Won Derby." He Says.
New- York, Dec. 8. The secret
of the failure of some of the pilots
in the recent transcontinental air
race, "can be attributed to too much
booze," Lieut. B. W. Maynard, the
"flying-parson," declared in a state
blent, made, public by the Anti-Saloon
league. "If . all of them had
been as sober as nVyself, I probably
tvould..not have been the winner,"
he, added.
Although J he declared Jie was
"prejudiced against strong drink"
the "flying-parson" admitted there
aVe a-few instances when a' pilot
might be justified in using it He
pointed out) that the aviator might
take drinle to "tide him!over"
after becoming exhausted after con
tinuous flying) tor 12 or 15 hours.
Lieutenant Maynard said that
many of the fatal air accidents were
due to pilots flying "half intoxicat
ed" or Vwith a hangover from the
night before."
s A pilot needs every bit of gray
matter God has given him in an
emergency and to have a brain clear
from hangovers and the effects of
booze is a great asset," he added.
Habeas Corpus Writs
For Two Anarchists
Dismissed; Must Go
New York, Dec. 8. Federal Judge
Mayer late Monday dismissed writs
of habeas corpus obtained by Alex
ander Berkman and Emma Goldman
to prevent their deportation to Rus
sia and refused to admit them to
bail. Federal District Attorney
Caffey announced in court that the
government planned -to'tleport trie
two anarchists within two weeks.
Judge Mayer, who two years ago
sentenced the two radicals to prison
for obstructing the draft, then or
dered them remanded to Ellis
Island. He granted a stay of depor
tation until 4 p m. Thursday to per
mit their "counsel time to appeal to
another court for admittance to bail
and to carry an appeal to the United
States supreme court
Mr. Caffey announced that "other
aliens" besides Berkman and Miss
Goldman would also be deported
within two weeks, referring presum
ably to 82 radicals whose confine
ment at Ellis Island recently has
teen featured by hunger and silence
strikes. --
In rendering his decision Judge
Mayer denounced both of the an

Senator Myers Argues for In
corporating Antl- Strike
Provision in Cummins
Railroad Bill.
Washington, Dec. 8. Anti-strike
provisions of the Cummins railroad
till, afford the "time and oppor
tunity to make the final test ot the
issue between the government' and
organized labor, Senator Myers,
democrat, Montana, declared today
in the-eenate. Labor seeks power
and advantage, apparently with.no
thought of the common welfare, he
declared, and the coal miners "open
ly defied an injunction issued from
a high federal court."
Affirming his belief that Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, was unable to
stem the tide of radicalism in the
ranks of American labor, the sen
ator charged the labor, leader had
joined hands with radical elements
in the steel strike. ,
Fears Railroad Strike.
A national railroad strike tha(. con
tinues two weeks wduld cause the
death of five to ten million people,
Senator Myers said, supporting the
anti-strike clause of the Cummins
bill. When the roads were losing
a million dollars a day, 'he added,
the railroad brotherhoods took ad
vantage of the situation, to demand
increased pay and support of the
Plumb plan of railroad ownership,
which he denounced as a "form of
sovietism." Mr.'Gompers, speaking
before a senate committee, had as
serted that if anti-strike provisions
of the railroad bill were enacted,
workers would not obey them, the
senator said, and added:
Would Accept Challenge.
"I favor accepting that challenge.
If the federal government cannot
triumph in this battle the inner
government, constitutional rule in
this country is dead.
"The United Mine Workers of
America are in ouen rebellion
against constituted authority. If the
government settles the coal strike,
by placing any further costs on the
people, it will make a mistake that
will return to plague it for many
years to come.
"L believe that the people of the
country have reached a point where
their backs "are against the wall and
no choice remains except to fight
the issue to the end." v v
Passage of the Cummins railroad
bill by the senate was prevented
by a demand of Senator4 La Follette,
republican, Wisconsin, for a quorr
um. Senator leaders predicted, how
ever, that the measure, designed to
meet conditions incident to the re
turn of the railroads to private 'con
trol and operation would pass the
senate within a day or two. ".'
No Action on Treaty

After Christmas Recess
Washington,' Dec. 8. Actiorrhy
the senate -fcoth on the Versailles
peace treaty and the resolution of
Senator Lodge, republican, Massa
chusetts, proposing to dtclare the
war with Germany at an end, ap
pears . improbable until after the
Christmas recess scheduled to run
from December 20 to January 5.
Although -a meeting of the for
eign relations comrnkteejor Wed
nesday was arranged, Senator Lodge
said his resolution probably would
await disposition by the house of a
similar proposition.
Senator Lodge and Senator Hitch
cock, Nebraskaf administration
leader, indicated complete lsagrefe
menkregarding future steps as to
the-treaty. The former declared the
next move must come from Presi
dent Wilson, while Senator Hitch
cock, with equal emphasis, said the
senate must act first.
"The treaty is dead so far ast,he
senate is, concerned, unless it is re
vived by the president," said Sena
tor Lodgfe, commenting on Senator
Hitchcock's contention and the pres
ident's, statement to Mr. Hitchcock
that he had "shifted responsibility to
other shoulders" and did not con
template withdrawal and resubmis
sion of the treaty.
Senator . Hitchcock reiterated his
opposition to bringing the treaty be
fore the senate again "to have it
kicked around like a foot ball before
a compromise is reached."

Cattlemari Tells of
Lasssoing Big Eagle
Edwin Devoe. a stockman of Red
Willow county, who. has a large
ranch near Lebanon, was a visitor
at the stock yards Monday and told
of lassoing a large golden eagle1 on
the fly on his ranch last month.
He said the eagle's wings were
heavily laden with snow and it hid
alighted on a fence post during a
blizzard. - As Dcvoe approached the
bird, it attempted to fly away and
Devoe cir-led his lasso and threw
over the bird with the loop tight
ening around its neck.
in capturing the bird a spirited
fight followed in which Devoe re
ceived several scratches," .but the
eigle.was overpowered and taken to
the ranch house where it was placed
in a roughly improvised cage. Last
week Devoe took the eagle to Lin
coln where he presented it to the
city and it is nowxin the city park
zoo.
He described the eagle as a short
yearling, measuring seven fee three
inches from tip to tip. It is said to
be a fine specimen and perhaps the
first of its species to be cajight,with
a lasso. . ' ' t '
Heayy Snow in Cattle

Albert Herren, a stockman of
Greybull, Wyo., arrived at the local
market L'onday with three cars of
cattle,. He said the entire range
country east from thex Big Horn
Basin and'throughout western Ne
braska, was covered with 12 t 24
inches $f snow. .'
"Though the big snow may cause
a little more consumption" of hay by
the stock and a larger feed bill for
the stock raisers, there is but little
kicking amonc stockmen, as we had
several heavy rains in the fall, and
with plenty of snow this winter the
ground will 'be in good shape for
an excellent crop of grass in the
spring." -
Mr.- Herren expressld the opinion
that shipments from his section
were practically over for this sea

light shipments ' occasionally from

state is what interests me most at
this time," said Governor McKelvie.'
"We are in a bad way growing out

manly possible." J

Here's How You Can
Save Chunk of Coal.
To Help in Crisis
V
The , war taught the lesson of
thrift. The fuel famine enforces on
municipalities the lesson of conser
vation. But how about the individual?
There are 250,000 people in Oma
ha, more or less, and most of them
can help make the coal last, if they
will.
Remember there is only so much
coal left in Omaha, with little com
ing in. The shortage grows more
acute every day. .
Wasting hot water will not save
coal. Be saving of hot water.
Turning on gas and electric lights
when not required means throwing
coal away.
Don't keep gas stoves burning
longer than necessary. '
Try a cold meal now and then.
Variety is the spice of life, and it
won't hurt you either.
Simplify your bill of fare.
Bank your furnace at night. You
wouldn't burn any more gold than
necessary, would you?
Don't let the temperature get
above 70 degrees. yIt is healthier
at 68 degrees, according to the
health department.
A wood fire in an open grate is a
thing of beauty and a joy fo- hours
if you have an open grate.
Some people have been known-to
use oil stoves to cut the cost of coal.
Weather strips on your doors and
storm windows help a little coal go
a long way. Likewise asbestos on
your boiler and your pipes.
Don't feed a furnace all day long
or too much at a time. It has a
digestion not unlike your own. You
wouldn't stuff your children with
rich food every hour.
Everybody s going on a six ana
nne-half hour dav. Perhaps ou
can bo to bed a little earlier. Let
your coal pile have "the benefit.
Treat your coal as you o your
sngit.-
And sift those ashes well, .every
coal bin is a Kionance ana every
ash heap has its nuggets. -

ported to have said that Maude

mands for money, i Mrs. Tabqr was
alleged to have said in the inter
view. According to the interviewer, Mrs.
Tabor said: "
"I may have told folks that Maude
may have died in the west. I may
have ' told them that she was still
alive in the west. I never even told
my son of his sister's death until
four or five months later." '
Maud Tabor's body was round

forces into infantry, cavalry and ar
tillery. The provision for 18,000 officers,
many more than needed for an army
of 300,000 men, was framed to give
1,500 to 1,600 as instructors for the
national guard and reserve officers
training corps units. Both the guard
and the training corps would be en
larged under the committee's plans
as only 300 officers are now needed
as instructors.
Having only about three horses to
each 100. residents, Switzerland's
equine population is the smallest of
any nation.

Mrs. Vittitoe Feels It Her. Duty
to Tell How Fine Tanlac
Is for Children.
''My littre ilephew had suffered
since he was (three years old, but
since taking Tknlac he is happy and
cheerful again," was the statement
made by Mrs. Laura Vittitoe in tell
ing Tanlac representative of the
recovery of Raymond Haley, her
fourteen-year-old nephew.- Mrs.
Vittitoe lives at 3316 East Four
teenth St., Kansas City, Mo., and
at the death of Raymond's father
she adopted him and since that time
has been his guardian.
"Raymond had a spell of typhoid
fever when he was three years old,"
continued Mrs. Vijttitoe, "and ever
since that time he has been puny
and fretful and was never bright
and playful like other boys. '. He
had little or no appetite andwhat
he managed to eat wouldn't digest
butHVould sour and cause so ntuch
gas to form that he would be in
great distress. He had severe spells
of rheumatism and at times he
would be cenfined to his bed for
months. Awful headaches would
come on him and he would have
terrible pains in his stomach and
he looked pale and thin. He lost a
great deal of time from school and
at one time nearly the whole year
and he was hardly ever able to play
with other boys. We tried every
medicine we knew 6f but none of
them did any good and finally he
was operated on but even that didn't
help him.
"At last we read of Tanlac and
what it was doing for other people
and we decided to give it a trial.
He had not taken half a bottle be
fore he commenced to improve and
his appetite began to ome back,
and by the time he had finished
his second bottle he could eat any
thing he wanted and digest it per
fectly. The rheumatism left him
entirely and he hasn't had a head-
ache since he started taking Tan-
Lac't 's stren?tn and energy came
back and he gained fifteen pounds
in weisrht and hi rhooVa -..
This was six months am tht h
took Tanlac and since then he hasn't
been troubled 'in any way, .hasn't
missed a single-day from school and
he is as bright and cheerful as any
boy you ever saw. I am certainly
grateful to Tanlac for the good it
has done him and I feel that it isiy
duty to tell mothers that Tanlac is
fine for children." .
