. when thi examining committee of
the bar association begins its work
0 ut .investigating me matter pr tne
Jjunough issued to Byrle C. Kirk,

I One of the members of the com
mission, Walter Anderson, is secre-
t ry of the bar committee, while an
. . other, W. H. Pitrer, is a member of
tne bar coinmi6sioi which will
s naturally be interested. C P. Peter-
son, another member, was the at
torney for Kirk who is charged with
securing nis release. s
May Tendej: Resignation.
Of course the convention can ao
along without them for'that matter,
but in the case of Anderson, espe
cially, it may call for. his resignation
eitner trom me convention or as a
'member of the supreme court exam
iitingboard. It is not thought that
.he will withdraw from the conven-
'lionand so it is possible that he may
'resign as a, member of the board in
charge of; the examinations.,'
There is some controversy as to
how the hearing will be had.
Opposes Secrecy.
, Attorney- General Clarence Davis
says that he is opposed to' a secret
hearing. He wants the matter open
so that tlie public can. have a chance
to be present. Just .the method of
procedure has not as yet been made
plain. Attorney General Davis will
conTer with the Supreme court in the
morning and is uncertain just what
his duty. is in the matter. As it stands
now the court simply ordered the in
vestigation and there appears to be
no laid down rule governing such
luatWrs. The court has the author
ity, it is said, to make its own rules
and direct the procedure.

Three Danger Years in
Marriage, Says Lawyer
London, Dec. 14. Is there a dan
ger year in marriage? The ques
tion is put by many persons and
answered by Sir George Lewis, dis
tinguished. English lawyer.
He says, there are three dangerous
years in marriage, that, the period
when most divorces are made is be
tween the seventh and tenth years
of marriage.
"Divorce figures show that the
great majority of marriage failures
.are not-discovered until the later
.years," Sir George declares. "Tbey
ialso show that only in a negligible
number -of divorce cases was there
a large family.
"A record covering 10 years just
prior to the war showedMhat of the
4,tal number of 9,728 marriages dis
" solved, 3.845, or nearly 40 per cent,
were childless. ;
"Another curious fact is that in
the past the majority of divorce
cases have come from the profes
sional and trading classes. Agricul
ture and mining have contributed tfie
fewest number of cases."
Blames Fiction Style of
Today on Late 0. Henry
Columbus, Ov Dec. 14 Blame
for today's style of fiction writing
was placed upon the late O. Henry,
famous writer, by Hamlin Garland,
novelist and short, story writer, of
New York, during 'an address here
at Ohio State university.
"Modern authors are not living up
to their opportunities," declared Gar
land. .
Insisting that the journalist has
too big a place in the literary world,
he criticized articles in a well-known
National weekly as "tricky and me
chanical," and said they were writ
ten by "tradesmen; not authors."
Recalling a meeting with O. Hen
ry, Garland said:1 .
"I don remember anything about
him except that he looked like any
" one else. . . ... . ' -
"He was very secretive. He had
enormous incentive powers, but
there was atways a trick somewhere.
His writings lacked the serious in
dent. He was not delineative, not
expressive." -
Woman Dead in Auto v
v Thought to Be Asleep
. , .Shamokin, Pa. Believed by her
companions to be asleep in an auto
mobile, Mrs. Anna Inch of Sunbury,
26 years old, was dead when they
. tried to arouse her as the automo
bile was traveling between Trevor
ton and Sunbury. "' -
Three members of the party eti
.tered a home at Trevertonto get
warm while Mrs. Inch remained in
the car, saying she was sleepy. A
half hour later they re-entered the
car, and . while descending a moun-
v tain, nearing Sunbury, one of the
party endeavored to awaken the
woman. She was dead.
The woman's employer at Sunbury
; refused to receive the body and it
was returned to Trevorton. - Heart
disease i : given as ' the cause of
death.

White there has been some suffer

fThe state, house kept open on
short hours, from9 :30 in the morn
ing until 4 in the afternoon. The
Lancaster -county court house was
closed three days in the week.
While the miners have' none back
to .work, it will be weeks before the
coal can be brought to Nebraska in
sufficient quantities to relieve the
conditions. "
A serious condition confronts
us, said Mr. Taylor this morninf,
and the situation in Nebraska lis
very critical. It is not. improving
and the use of fuel should be made
very carefully."
Fremont Merchants
Demand Lifting of
Fuel Restrictions
Fremont. Neb.. Dec. U. fSne
cial.) The local fuel committee has
declined to easevup on the fuel re
strictions in i-remont. Merchants
and other business men have re
questers that some modifications be
made in view of the fact that this
is the holiday season when mer
chants have a. big volume of. busi
ness. The conjmittee announced to
day jthatjhe restrictions would con
tinue perhaps for all next week.
Representative Siegel
Roundly Denounces
, Secretary of Labor
New York, Dec. 14. Representa
tive Isaac Siegel of New York, a
a member of the house immigration
committee, which is investigating
conditions at Eltis Island, denounced
Secretary of Labor Wilson and his
department, in anaddress today on
' What Ails America?" He referred
to the refusal of Secretary Wilson to
give the committee the department's
report on the immigration service,
declaring that "no man is too big in
this country to withhold anything
from a congressional committee."
He asserted the committee is de
termined to find out who is respon
sible for "the lax conditions at Ellis
Island."
It was announced today that of
ficials of the Department of Labor
would be called before the committee
in Washington tomorrow. j
"The officials of the Department
of Labor, said Mr. Siegel, "are 4
more responsible 'for the spread of
radicalism than any other set of men
in this country.",-
"Since the congressional commit
tee got busy investigating the De
partment of .Labor," he continued,
"400 radicals have been taken into
custody, again having been either
paroled or released on small bonds
at 'some previous time following
their original incarceration at Ellis
Island." '
Sympathizers and comrades of
radicals in jail throughout the coun
try gathered at a Christmas remem
brance dance Sunday night and kon
tiibuted money and gifts in quantity
for their, imprisoned colleagues.
Sugar was the most popular token
of the brotherhood loyalty. '
Turkeys and Guinea Hens
Thrive on Grasshoppers
Fargo, N. D., Dec. 14. Grass
hoppers are beginning to pay big
cash dividends in North Dakota
through the medium of poultry, es
pecially in turkeys and guinea fowl.
The experiment has? been success
fully tried 'at the state agricultural
college and numerous farmers have
taken the cue.
During past years in North Da
kota prairje chickens,' sage hens and
grouse held the grasshoppers in
check; and their plumpness and the
deliciovs quality of their meat at
tested to the 'superiority of their
food. ; :
, The prairie chickens especially
are going the way of the buffalo,
and Mr. G. R. Greaves of the agri
cultural college was assigned to find
a substitutte that would keep down
the insect pests with a minimum of
trouble and expense to the farmer.
The answer is turkeys and guineas.
Mr.; Greaves -declares that flocks
of turkeys and guineas consume mil-,
'lions of grasshoppers and "other in
sect pests, and naturally do their
ewn foraging. Early in the season
the experimental flocks at the agri
cultural college have grown fat and
strong on the young insects.

SOCIALISTS CAUSE
GREAT CONFUSION
IN ITALIAN HOUSE
Assert Wa Was Declared
Against UV Will of Parlia
ment Nitti Asks'Support
Rome, Dec. 14. The clunbervof
deputies has voted approval of the
'fplyto the speech from the ihrorfe
after rejecting by a vote of -289 to
124 an amendment offered by the
socialists providing for the imme
diate recognition of the Russian
soviet government and the resump
tion of relations with Russia.
Premier Nijd said he desired first,
to dispose of a question which was
causing national concern and to
deny the report that the government'
was aoout to conclude new interna
tional agreements creating fresh re
sponsibilities. The premier's refer
ence was to a report that the meet
ing of Premiers Lloyd George and
Clemenceau and Foreign Minister
Scialoia in London had considered
a military convention. "
Answering various speakers who
presented motions for the convoca
tion of a constituent assembly, Sig
nor Nitti said:
"Bus swe consider the parliament
as a permanent constituent as
sembly. There is no necessity to
convoke one purposely. The Italian
constitution has been changed con
stantly according to necessity. The
parliament is sovereign. It is free
to modify by enactment any article
of the constitution. What you now
wish is to change article 5, which
nominally gives the king the right
to declare war. But do you really
believe that the last war was de
clared without the assent of the par
liament?" 1
Socialists Cause Uproar.
At this the socialists shouted:,
"Yes, against the will of parlia
ment." There was great confusion for a
few moments.
"The. law granting full powers to
theabinet," Premier Nitti con
tinued, "was passed, by the chamber
on May 22, 1915. It was equivalent
lo a declaration of war."
The entire socialist group shouted:
"No, no! The cabinet already had
concluded an alliance with the en
tente." (
The premier begged for the sud-
port of all parties to help Italy out
of her present difficulties. He ex
plained ' she must import ode-third
of the necessities of life .
Lose Huge Sum Daily. '
"We Duy wheat at 13Q, lire per
quintal and sell it for 60 lire," he
said, thus losing 8,000,000 to 9,000,
000 lire daily. The greatest curse to
us would be to lose our credit
abroad, because then we would be
irreparably lost. Russia and Hun
gary, despite their financlalisola
tion, were able to exist because their
internal production was relatively
sufficient to feed their people. I
urge the socialists to be frank with
the public and explain the necessity
of not endangering our relations
with the alliea .esoeciallv the United
States, whichXalone can supply us
with the greatest part of what we
need, and in fact, we cannot 'receive
immediate help except ,irom the
American continent, and jab.dve all,
from the United States.
"With regard to our . relations
with Russia, I am certain we shall
soon resume commercial relations
with that country. .But I am not cer
tain that they will-soon be advan
tageous, t '
- "That the Anglo-American bloc
is interested in isolating Russia in
order to have a monopoly of raw

FAMILIARITY with the tale
told - by ' Katherine Cecil
Thurston in "The Masqucrad-
er does not lessen the pleasure
found in the play made from it by
John- Hunter Boothy Ncr istbj:
satisfactory quality of the drama in
any way diminished because the
authors adopted a happier if not a
more logical expedient f:r dispos
ing of the hero's duplicate when the
p'ot became too thick than d;d Mr.
Anthony Hawkins, when he had to
choose between slaying Rudolph
Rassendyl atid installing Ijim on the
throne of Ruritania as the reigning
Elphburg. The interest in thcNnovel
originally arose from, the deft man
ner in which the air of orobabijity
was preserved, without resort to
melodramatic tours de force. In
th nlais tliie lmi,t ia tie.-.
Sustained, full advantage beine
taken of elisions possible, and yet
without disturbing the continuity
cf the store or giving a merely epi
sodic quality to the action.
Mr. Guy Bates Post and his ex
cellent company began a week's stay
at the Boyd theater last night in
"The Masquerader," to-the intense
delight of a considerable assemblage
of patrons who showed by their en
thusiastic applause appreciation of
the play and the players. Mr. Post
responded to the insistent call at the
end of the second act by expressing
for himself and associates -the grati
fication felt at the reception ajcord
ed them.
Mr. Post presents the roles of
John Chilcote, member of parlia
ment and drug addict, and John
Lode, penniless but brilliant, whose
resemblance to the dissioated man
ie so close none can tell one from
the other. In the one character, the
disintegration of the moral and phy
sical fiber of a man is depicted in a
way that is fascinating for its ter
rible realism. No groveling, ranting
or hysterical mumbling, but the
steady decline of strong mind and
gentle manners- under the erosion of
the drug. With equal fi-lelity nhe
opposite tle is outlined, with no ap
parent attempt to win sympathy be
cause o the contrast between the
two, but to make John Loder stand
tlone, just as does JohnTbilcote.
Success achieved in this is the most
nbtable of -Mr. Post's triumphs.-
Elwyn Eaton has a part, that of
the aged and loyal serviior in the
Chilcote family, that might be badly
spoiled by just a-ilittle overdoing,
but which is presented so convinc
ingly it deserves to be set alongside
the work of the star as acting of
real merit. Clarence Handvside also
adds a notable bi to the whole.
Alice John, who has the role of the
neglpcted wife of the dissipated
Chilcote, and who later finds real
consolation in the presence of the
substitute, does her share with such
taste and sincerity as gives the char
acter more than the importance of
.a mere incident ii the life of the
one, and fairly raises it to the level
on which the other sets it. Audrey
Anderson has two scenes wluch she
handles splendidly, brinping the
"vampire" element forward clearly,
yet withoutSnaking it oTtrusive. .
A number of others are engaged
in the presentation of the play, all
purposefully and with gfood effect..
Scene shifts arc accomplished with
uncommon celcritv. throuch the em
ployment of mechanical devices, to
th'end that what would ordinarily
bt tedious waits are entirely obvi
ated. Some" novel and very pleasing
lighting fleets aid in creating and
preserving the atmosphere. It is
recommended that attendance 'be
so timed as to enjoy the short pro
logue, because of its novelty.
Washington, Dec. 14. Pointing
cut that San Francisco bay is the
navy's, most important base on the
Pacific coast and that there is only
one other base which can at present
be utilized, namely Puget Sound,
Secretary Danijels in a letter to Sec
retary Baker urged that immediate
steps be taken to secure congres
sional authority and an appropria
tion at the present session to pro
vide a channel across San Francisco
bar at least 42 feet deep "and 1,500
teet wide to accommodate the navy s
biggest battleships.
The navyfc he said, considers a
deeper channel of the gravest im
portance. The entrance to the bay,
Secretary Daniels wrote, is very un
satisfactory for big battleships.
Btfnita channel contains dangerous
rqeks; the channel across the bar"
and south channel are net ot sum
dent depth, and the south channel
flso is tortuous. Estimates for the
proposed channel have been made
by ColoneLJE. V. Abbofty acting
chief of army engineers.

Airplanes Are Replacing
Cowboys on Cattle Ranches
Pensacola, Fla., Dec. 14 Two
Texas cowboys coming in from the
west arrived in Pensacola. They
had to wait two hours for their train
here and were planning how to pass
the time away. A newspaper
man, attracted by their strange garb,
ventured the suggestion they make
a trip to the naval air station and see
seaplanes take off over the bay.
Airships be" one replied."
"We don't want to see any more of
tfiose blankety blank things. That s
why we are here in this God-fot
saken country now, trying to get
back to" Georgia. The big ranch
Owners out, in Tom Green county
have got those cussed tricks on the
ranch, and one man can find more
stray cattle in 10 minutes in one of
of them, than me and ray pard can
find riding a pinto rn three days.
No airplanes for us."
It -was suggested that they might
find life lonely in Georgia.
"Well, there's a big corn crop, I
understand, and good booze at ?5 a
quart." N
"That's a fact," said another man
in Jhe bunch, "but the revenue offi
cers up in Georgia are using air
planes in their businessnow."
"The h you say," broke out the
cowboys. Let's go jump in the bay
and be done with it. "What's the

"She's a Good Fellow." as pre
sented at the Brandeis last night, is
a-arge, satisfying production, filled
with mirth, music and dancing.
Music, bv Teronie D. Kern, is nf th
bright, breezy sort that creates ait
irresistible desire to dance iii fact,
Mr. Kern surpassed himself in "She's
a Good Fellow."
The cast is headed by Joseph
Sahtley, who made himself popular
in Omaha in "Oh, Soy." Mr. Sant
ley has a voice, he dances well and
takes his comedy iparts with a nat
firal ease which assures best results.
Of no less importance are Rctbert
Higgins, whose droll comedy livens
the evening; Ivy Sawyer, lithe and
graceful; Dorothy Maynard, whose
voice and figure wins the heart of
the audience, and Maurice Darcy, a
man with a Douglas Fairbanks .smile.
Perhaps the largest hand of the
evening was won by Rozetta and
VivianX Duncan. The Duncan sis
ters must be twins, at least which is
Rozetta and which is Vivian is diffi
cult to ascertain. A "nut art" that
isn't just a bit rough i hard to put
over, but the Duncan sisters do it;
a song parf without musical accom
plishment is hard to put over, but
the Duncan sisters do it. . They are
irresistible fun-makers".
"She's a Good Fellow" is- real
musical comedy.' It will be at the
Brandeis for two more nights.
The Orpheum was reopened yes
terday with a "welcome" on the
door mat; and a-merry company of
entertainers who were well received.
The Farrell-Taylor trio and Burns
