to the public follows:
, "During the world war, no class

in every patriotic work than were
actors and actresses. They Stopped
their work and gave their time and
energy from early in the morning
until late at night, during all kinds
of weather, to aid in every patriotic
and charitable campaign. They made
tlrfeir appeals from the stage, from
1 the sidewalk, from the street, from
trucks, from the stock yard chutes
from every place where they could
be heard. Though their efforts, mil
lions were raised in the name of
" charity and patriotism.

raise a fund to care for the aged and
infirm in that profession. Donations
are not asked, but on Friday after

STRANGE MANIA
OF HARRY NEW
IS NOT A POSE
Testimony Introduced at Mur
der Case Shows Prisoner's
Attitude One of Long ,
- ' Standing.
Los Angeles, Dec 23. Harry
New's strange court room manner
his almost motionless attitude and
his staring straight ahead of him
continually is. not a pose but a
practice of long standing, according
to testimony introduced today in the
trial on a charge of having mur
dered his sweetheart, Freda L. Les
ser. This testimony came from E. M.
McCumber, formerly a prisoner
with New in the county jail. Mc
Cumber said New frequently sat at
the window of his cell and gazed
into space for hours at a time, mo
tionless and never uttering a word.
McCumber's testimony was the
outstanding feature of the defense
efforts today to show New was un
sound mentally.
"Not Right" Mentally.
McCumber said he had noticed
other things about New which
caused him to believe the accused
was "not right" mentally.
For instance, he said, New fre
quently rolled up his trousers legs,
one at a time, and studied them with
much seeming concern.
New made a pet of one of. the
jail cats, according to the witness.
But one day when he was playing
with the cat McCumber told him
his pet was likely to scratch him,
McCumber testified, on which New
flew into a rage and threw the ani
mal out of his cell some yards down
the corridor.
The defense is laying much stress
on the alleged effect on the mind of
the accused by his brooding . over
what counsel termed the "sad cir
cumstance of his birth."
Doubt American Wife
Of Former Turkish
f rer i it oi
Umcial nere olain
New York, Dec. 23. The State
department has been asked to verify
the report that Djelai Munif Bey,
former Turkish consul general in
New York, and his wife, have been
murdered by revolutionists in Buda
pest, Herbert J. Lyall, attorney for
Djelai Munif's interests in the
United States, announces. He said
he doubted the truth of the report,
as he had received a letter from the
consul general last Monday stating
that his wife, formerly Mildred Des
mond of Colorado Springs, Colo.,
had committed suicide while visit
ing at an estate near Budapest.
The letter from Djelai Munif was
dated "August, 1919, Budapest," but
the postmark indicated it had been
mailed in November. It stated that
Madame Djelai "depressed and sufr
fering from nervousness" trought
about by the lack of food and con
ditions ;n general in Hungary, had
committed suicide at the Garden Al
masy estate, near Budapest
Previous to getting the letter Mr.
Lyall said he had received a black
bordered postcard in France from
Djelai Munif announcing his wife's
death. . . . ; , i

Cash Bonuses to Employes
From Many Big Omaha Firms
Omaha Concerns Reward Faithful Service With Sub
stantial Christmas Remembrances, Many, Taking
Form of Salary Percentage Turkeys and Candy
Also Figure Among Yuletide Gifts.
Christmas will be a merry one for
thousands of .people employed ' by
large industrial concerns of Omaha,
for Christmas bonuses and presents
from employers to employes have
never been more generous, v
Jobbing houses, many of them
employing as high as 1,000 people,
are ( remembering ' employes with
either presents or gifts of money.
Each and every employe of the Mc-Cord-Brady
Co. is to receive extra
two weeks' pay.
More than 400 large turkeys will
be given to the married employes of
the-Paxton & Gallagher Co. This
has been the custom of the company
for many years, a custom that is be
coming more and more expensive,
judging from prices on turkeys, but
C." H. Pickens, general manager,
says the custom will never be dis
continued. Unmarried employes are
given a five-pound box of candy
each. .. '
Many Cash Bonuses. '
The Byrne & Hammer Dry Goods
Co., is another wholesale house
which plans to make its employes'
Christmas a happy one by giving a
cash present. The amount to be
given depends on the length of serv
ice of the individual employe.
The First National, Omaha Na
tional and United States National
banks, three of the larger downtown
banks, will award employes 10 per
cent of their annual salary, accord
ing to announcement of officials.
The American Smelting Works
will give Christmas trees to each of
its employes, and following a time
honored custom, will give employes
a Christmas party, at which presents
for the children will be furnished.
Athletic Club Fund.
Salaried employes of clubs will
also be well remembered. At the
Athletic club, where a no-tipping
rule is rigidly enforced, a printed
form has been sent out to all mem
bers, giving them an opportunity to
subscribe as high as $5 to a fund for
employes. It reads: ,
"Have the salaried employes of
this club served you faithfully and
well during the last year, and with
out the slightest expectation of a
tip? If you now desire to express
your appreciation of their efforts to
please you, you can do so by sub
scribing to their Christmas fund.
For observance of the no-tip rule,
-and for such donations as you care
to give, not to exceed $5, you have
the thanks of the house committee."
Subscriptions are coming in thick
and fast, according to Fred W.
Rothery,. resident manager of the
club, and each employe is assured of
a worthwhile gift.
Members of the Omaha club have
subscribed $1,400 to a fund which
will be divided by the house com
mittee among the 32 employes of the
club. '
Grain Men Remembered.
The Chamber of Commerce has
also raised a fund for salaried em
ployes. "
One of the largest Christmas
bonuses given by grain dealers will
be received by employes of the Up
dike Grain Co. It was stated at the
Updike office that every employe of
the company would receive between
IS and 20 per cent of his yearly
salary. . . " -' ' ; '
This is a remarkably high bonus,
grain men say, considering the rath
er poor business showing during the
year, due to railroad conditions, the
coal shortage and exceptionally cold
weather.
