X
More than 60 Nebraska sheriffs
were guests of Sheriff Mike Clark
of Douglas ounty at a splendid fish
dinner last night in the Castle hotel.
It was the final event of the conven

ciation. Great platters of fried fish, big
dishes of French fried potatoes,
plates of corn bread with all the
trimmings ,of soup, salad, jellies,
coffee and everything down to the
ice cream and cake were served.
The sheriffs gave "Mike" a vote
of thanks and then most of them
spent the evening at the Stecher
iPesek wrestling match.
Sheriff Clark in a very brief speech
at the dinner congratulated those of
the sheriffs who had brought their
"chief deputies" along to the con
vention. United States Deputy Marshal
State Parole Officer Antics and Ben
S. Baker were speakers at yester
day afternoon's session of the, con

"The parole board has not taken
proper steps 111 many cases to inves
tigate the previous records of pris
oners who are released," said D. B
Ratekin of Falls City, former secre
tary of the association.
Resolutions were adopted calling
tor a tightenine up ot the activi
ties of the parole board, particularly
regarding men who have served
previous terms in prison.
"The law does not intend that
every prisoner, regardless of his
previous record in crime, shall be
released from the penitentiary as

expired, with good behavior time

in and the parole board lets them
out faster than we put them in.
A resolution also was passed call
ing for installing a fingerprint sys

At present there is no such system

U. S. Marines Repel
Attack of Bandits
On Haiti Capital
Washington, Jan. 16. United
States marines and Haitien gendar
merie yesterday repelled an attack
on Port Au Prince, the Haitien
capital, by a force of 300 bandits,
more than half of whom were killed.S
wounded or captured after being
pursued (outside the city.
The bandit force, Colonel Kusseii
said, approached Port Au Prince in
three columns, which immediately
were met and driven back. Certain
revolutionary elements of the city
attempted to join the bandits in the
assault, he said, adding that he be
lieved the fate of the attacking
forces should be "sufficient to pre

The total casualties of the ma

My HEART and;
My HUSBAND
Adele Garrison's Ney .Phase of
Revelations, '
of a Wife,
What the Field Glasses Disclosed
to Madge.
We all followed Jerry Ticer's
graphic forefinger 'as he pointed
toward the second boat which we had
noticed.
A moment's scrutiny sufficed to
convince us of the truth of his ex
cited statement that "the boat was
leggin' it away from us." Whether
its occupants did not wish us to
share their fishing ground, and
hoped by leaving, ostensibly for bet
ter fields, to keep us away from the
place they had taken, or whether
the wild fancy I had harbored that
the men in the two boats were there
only becatfse of us, was something
more than, my imagination could
determine, but the fact was indisput
able that there was evidence . of
much haste in the other boat's
movements. -v
"Let us take a look at theml" Lil
lian's voice, quiet, casual, broke into
the silence which bad held us. -
I passed the field glasses to her
and watched her intently while she
used them. But there was neither
tremor of her hands nor expression
of anything beyond ordinary inter
est in her eyes when she put them'
down again. ' .
"Just a Shrimp." -
"Probably they think they will
mislead us as to the best fishing
grounds if they leave the ones they
have," she said indifferently.
"They can't mislead nothin'," Jer
ry announced succinctly. "That
place they're in ain't no good. I
told yon that afpre. Jim Steele
knows better, an' probably he's per
suadedvthe t'other chap to go over
Nassau Beach way." .
"Want to look at them, Madge?"
I suspected that Lillian asked the
question purposely because of her
neglect to offer the glasses when
the other boat was in question.
Something in her manner made me
think that her lass scrutiny had re
assured her concerning the harm
lessness of the second boat's occupants.
Thank you." I took uo the
glasses, adjusted them, and, then fol
lowed the course of the rushing
boat. I could not distinguishd the
features of the two men in the boat,
but they were both dressed in the
local fishing costume. No modish
sport togs for the "city gent" in this
particular boat
In the first boat one man had been
huddled in such fashion that it was
impossible to tell anything con
cerning him. But the men in this
second boat were both busy, one
standing by the wheel, the other
with a start I saw that he also was
sweeping the horizon with what I
judged to be a pair of field glasses
is your friend, Jim Steele, a big
man?" I asked with ostensible carelessness.
"Naw. he's just a shrimo. Tim is."
Jerry replied.- "But he kin hold his
own with any of the big fellers. That
city gent he's set with him is a
whale of a feller though, six feet
and over, and shoulders on him like
an ox." ,
My eyes were confirming his
words, The man holding the glasses,

MILLINERY, SECTION SECOND FLOOR.
was a big chap. , I wondered
whether Lillian had seen him stand
ing, as I was doing, and made up
my mind that she had not, for I re
membered that my first glimpse of
him revealc.i him in the act of rising
and lifting the glaises to his eyes.
I wondered if my already .over
worked imagination was playing me
false, for there surely seemed some
thing oddlv familiar tn mr in th
big frame of the man in the other
boat, disguised though it was by the
old fishing things which he wore. I
watched him fascinated and then, at
a sudden turn of his head, an im
perative gesture of his arm toward
the other man, I almost exclaimed
aloud and dropped the glasses.
Who Is He?
For the gestures were ones I re
membered seeing more than once in
years that now seemed ages gone
so remote they were. Of course, I
said to myself, many big, strong
men might make similar imperative
gestures, and no doubt I was simply
magnifying a chance resemblance in
to a recognition. But reason, as I
might the conviction remained that
I had once known the big man in
the other boat.
Had Lillian recognized him? Her
eyes surely should have been at
least as sharp as mine if my wild
suspicion concerning the man's
identity were correct. But then, she
had not seen him standing up and
gesturing. I resolved to say no
word of the bizarre idea which had
flashed upon me.
I carefully turned the glasses in
another direction, and occupied
some seconds in gazing at the dis
tant cliffs with their sides gleaming
white in the sunshine.
"Aren't you going to show us
some bottle fish soon, Jerry?"' I
asked with pretended impatience as
I finally returned the glasses to Lil
lian with carefully simulated Indif
ference. "You'll see enough of 'em before
the da's over," Jerry returned, get
tine ready as he spoke to drop the
anchor.
Jerry's prophecy came true. We
did indeed J'see enough" of the re
pulsive bottle fish, which made im-J
mense round Dans .or tnemseives as
soon as they were taken from the
water, leaving only their ugly heads
protruding, and which came in such
numbers as to leave little chance
for the taking of the gani king fish.
They filled the bottom of the boat,
and we had to watch, our feet, for
they could nip a toe with neatness,
precision and sting.
But all through the novelty and
excitement of the afternoon I could
not banish from my mind the image
Reds Rapidly Freed
From Ellis Island
Under Court Ruling
V ;
New York, Jan. , 16. Forty-two
men and eight women arrested in
recent raids on extremists were rrT
leased from Ellis Island on bail,
making a total of 59 freed since Fed
eral Judge Knox decided Wednesday
that immediate bail must be given
whether or not the radicals had
answered questions of immigration
inspectors as to belief in the use of
violence to overthrow the govern
ment The Liberty bonds deposited at
the island totaled $68,000, represent
ing $10,000 bail in the case of Greg
ory Weinstein, "chief of staff" for
"soviet ambassador" Martens and
$1,000 each in the other cases. So
much of the time of officials at the
island was taken up by approval of
bonds and feigning of bail documents
that little progress ws made in the
examination of nearly 500 others
held in deportation proceedings.

Strikers Return to Work
On Railroads in Germany
London, Jan. 16. The strikers on
the German railways have resumed
work in a majority of the djstricts,
says a Central News dispatch from
Berlin today. The men, it is- said.
received wage increases of 200 marks
monthly, while the salaries of ofR-
cials were increased 150 per cent
These increases, it is stated, will
bring about a deficit of an additional
1,500,000,000 marks for the railways,
which probably will lead to another
rise in rates.
