Ed Flinn Ought to Run
For Mayor of Denison;
Seems Pretty Popular
The following letter to the sports
editor of The Bee is self-explanatory:
' Denison, la., Jan. 25, 1920.
Sports Editor, Omaha Bee. Dear
Editor: ,
A few days ago there was an
article in The Omaha Bee concern
ing a 17-year-old boy who was
elected captain of the Beatrice,
Neb., High school foot ball team
for the season of 1920. They were
very boastful oi their young cap
tain. I can give you a better yarn than
that about our Denison captain, Ed
Flinn.
Ed has been captain of the foot
ball team for two seasons and is
captain of the basket ball team this
year, and has not yet reached his
17th year. In June he will gradu-'
ate with high honors.
Next Saturday evening our team
plays Creighton High. Go and see
tor yourself if he is not a dandy.
(Signed ). K .
Schickley Wins Three Games.

the high school defeating the To
bias High school team, 35 to-18, the
town team winning from the Ong
town team 26 to 16, and the Shick-
ley grammar room from the Ong
Grammar room 24 to 8. The partic
ular star of the three games was
Anderson of the Shickley town
team, who shot several dihcult bas
kets getting one from past center.
. Kilbane Shades Murray.
Philadelphia, Jan. 25. Johnny
Kilbane. featherweight champion,
had a shade the better of the six
round bout here Saturday with
Johnny Murray of New York. There
was little effective fighting in the
first five rounds during which Mur
ray did most of the' leading, but the
final round was full of action in
which Kilbane showed- superiority.
Sherwood Magee Released.
Cincinnati, Jan. 25. August Her
mann, president of the .Cincinnati

TO TUJO FORJACT. BAR.
AS" TrVEM TEAR. INTO
GARFIELD RAPS
COMPROMISE IN
MINING STRIKE
Declares Settlement Plan Is
Unsound and WTenace
to Our Institu
tions. Chicago, Jan. 25. Dr. H. A. Gar
field, former fuel administrator, in
an article written for farm and
home, declares the compromise t!iaf
ended the coal strike to be "un
sound in principle and a menace to
our institutions."
Dr. Garfield says:
"The wages now paid to mine
workers are suflicient. The oppor
tunity that should be the mine work
ers cannot be secured merely by an
increase in wages."
In. proof Dr. Garfield cites the
average of $950 per annum earned
by the lowest paid minetrs work
ing 180 days in the year, 'while for
200 days' work Ihe average miner
in the bituminous fields of Penn-'
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois
earned $1,550 in 1918 and $1,300 last
year. This is "more by a consider
able sum than the average net re
ceipts, of the farmer and many oth
ers who may or may not work 300
days or more in-the year," he said.
"The public ought not to be asked
to pay more for coal," emphasizes
the ex-fuel administrator. "It is
impossible to increase the wages of
the mine workers without inciting
the workers in ever other industry,
including, of course, agriculture, to
demand an increase in wages. This
would send the cost of living upward
in a vicious spiral, which wil', in
the end, prove hurtful to the work
ing man. The purchasing power
of the dollar and not the number of
dollars received is the important
factor.
"The public is the chief sufferer?
when the capital and labor engaged
in the production of commodities
necessary to the support of life fall
a fighting," continued Dr. Garfield.
"We, may admit the right to strike
on the part of labor and the right
of capital to boycott, but in each
case the right of the public to live
is paramount, and will be asserted.
"Therefore, I say, when the con
flict is on in a great industry, the
issue must be fought out or com
promised, but when the public inter
est is involved and government
representing the public takes a
hand, compromise ought to be im
possible. An industry charged with
a public interest, such as coal, can
no longer be considered free to
withhold its product from the pub
lic by any movement whatever by
capital or labor.
"We now are called upon to con
template an arrangement with a
group of opposing the government,
which it terminates, is unsound in
principle and a menace to our insti
tutions." To guard against affairs reach
ing the strike stage, Dr. Garfield
urges a permanent fuel administra
tion as a consultive and advisory
tribunal. ,
Vincent Astor to Fight
$1,200 Rent Suit in Person
Poughkeepsie, Jan. 25. When the
suit of David Champion to recover
$1,200 from Vincent Astor is called
in the supreme court of Poughkeep
sie on January 23, Astor will appear
in his own "behalf, according to a
statement made to the court by his
attorney, W. Harry Montgomery of
Red Hook.
Champion was mechanical engi
neer on the Astor estate from 1914
to May, 1919, when he was dis
charged. Champion lived in a small
cottage near the estate during that
time. After his discharge he put in
a claim for $1,200, the rent he had
paid. Astor feels his honor is be
ing questioned in this case, and has
instructed his attorney to fight to
the limit.

H
ERE'S Sir Oliver Lodge fixing
with the dead.
i -i
If Sir Oliver packs that much
fix it with the Bell Telephone so's
This might be asking for too much. While Oliver has succeeded in
gossiping with spooks, shades and nimble ghosts, his experiments haven't
been successful enough to aggravate the belief that Oliver can buzz with
anybody over a telephone.
" However, he chirps that the chasm between the terrestrial and the
celestial is not real and can be bridged with the air of unlimited confidence
and a hatful of nickles. The beyond is merely screened from earthly senses
and the science of the future will enable many to reach the point of
communication between ourselves and the vague shadows and the numb
end of a telephone wire. But even so trifling a thing as a chat with a
haloed subscriber hypes us up with the hope that some day Sir Oliver ma
perfect the industry and establish ' communication between two subjects
separated by a mile of telephone wire and 3,000,000,000 miles of wire.
Oliver plants his dope on the supposition that the ether is peopled
with celestial suburbanites. Ether is a medium which fills all space through
which radiant energy may be transmitted by transverse wave motion. If
the transverse wave motion doesn't give you a case of ouija board sickness
you don't have to take the ether, which is the usual means of grabbing
a souse before all telephone calls and major operations.
Ether is also a medium used by secondhand automobile gypsies, who
pack the gas tank with it, thus sustaining cummunication between a live
spark and a dead engine. Mixed with red raisins and wood alcohol, it
makes a fii'ie stirrup cup that enables the user to investigate communica
tion with the dead in person. '
As Oliver has never been buried alive in a telephone booth, nor tried
to establish a jitney communication with an Evanston spirit through the
medium of1 an etherized central, we rise to squawk that Oliver's experi
ments with the world's beyond are merely in their infancy, infancy being
a period packed with colic, eczema, teething and insomnia, all four of
which serve as counterirritants and stimulant while waiting for central
to park her chewing gum on the door knob and assume her usual place in
the overshadowing telephone crime as a witness for the defense.
While Sir Lodge is no relation of Henry Cabot Lodge, the senator
from Massachusetts, Hank is busy etherizing the league of nations into a
condition which will give England's foremost psychic traveling salesman
more territory to cover with his telepathic samples. If Oliver can estab
lish communication with the departed league he will be doing Woodrow
a robust favor. "The Washington branch of the Weeje Board Cable Service
has failed in all its efforts to do that little thing. Sir' Oliver might also
bring along his dancing table and assist the present grand jury in decipher
ing the mysterious thumps being registered by the Overshadowing Crime.
If the distinguished lime juicer brings a new celestial world to light
we move that Bill Bryan be appointed the first ambassador from America
minus the option of resigning. ' ,
KNOWS WEALTHY
YOUTH TOO WELL
TO MARRY HIM
So Says Member of Midnight
Frolic Chorus When Quizzed
Over Lieut. Moody.
New York, Jan. 25. (By Univer
sal Service.) "Oh, yes, I know
Joey; but I'm not his wife. I know
him well enough not to want to
marry him." In these words Miss
Kay Perry, auburn-haired beauty
of the Midnight Frolic chorus, dis
posed of the report from San Fran
cisco that she had been married to
Lieut Joseph Moody, jr., of the
United States marine corps, and
heir to a big California estate.
"I'm never going to be his wifel"
added Miss Perry. . "If he has an
nounced our marriage again, I'm go
ing to let his father know about it
It's true he tried to make me marry
him. That's why he announced our
marriage three years ago."
The announcement from San Fran
cisco was to the effect that the mar
riage ceremony had been performed
there January 12 by Justice of the
Peace Thomas Prendergast. The
birde's name was given as Katherine
Marriman in the marriage license,
but the bridegroom was said to have
explained that her stage name was
Perry. Her age was given as 23.
Fashionable London Is
'Rushing to the Riviera
London, Jan. 25. Fashionable
women of London are eagerly look
ing forward to the first Riviera sea
son of consequence since 1914. The
rush is so heavy that many of the
Mediterranean coast hotels are
booked through January and Febru
ary. During the war these French
palaces of pleasure were used as
hospitals for wounded.
The abbreviated French railway
service, which is even more abbre
viated than Paris skirts, and the lack
of sleeping berths, has not deterred
British women and the wives of war
profiteers from their decision to es
cape' fog-bound, rainy England.

Discovers Method to Keep
Fruits From Decaying
Los Angeles, Jan. 25. Following
35 years of scientific research, Dr
Henry Barringer Cox, an inventor,
announced that he is offering to the
world as a gift, a method by which
fruits and vegetables can be pre
served indefinitely without ice or
chemicals and at. little cost.
The method prevents loss of
odor, flavor and vitality, he says.
The products are placed in a can

Posse Hunting Cattle
Is Disarmed by Indians
Santa Fe, N. M., Jan. 25. A posse
of 17 members of the state mounted
police, led by Policeman Fred Mon

by 200 Santo Domingo Indians at
their village here.
The posse attempted to seize hides
of cattle which the Indians were al
leged to have "rustled" and slaugh
tered for beef.
The surrender of the posse is be
lieved to have prevented a massacre,
as the Indians were well armed and
in a bad humor.

FRENCH STAND
ON MARNE TO BE
MARKED BY U. S.
$250,000 Statue 'Will Be
Erected at Turning Point
of German Ad
vance. .
New York, Jan. 25. A colossal
.tone statue, one of the largest of
the world's sculptured monuments,
is to be placed by American citizens
on the river Marne to commemorate
the victorious stand by the French
there in 1914, according to plans an
nounced by Thomas W. Lamont of
J. P. Morgan & Co. The statue,
nearly as large as the Statue of Lib
erty, is to be known as "America's
Gift to France." A committee of
representative citizens, of which Mr.
Lamont is chairman, has already
completed plans for the monument
and funds for its erection will be
collected in the early days of March.
It is expected that the cost will ap
proximately be $250,000 and this
amount wili come as a free will of
fering iii sums of any amount from
citizens in every part of the United
States.
No Campaign Funds.
"The committee will not conduct
a 'campaign' or 'drive for funds,"
caid Mr. Lamont. State chairmen
are being appointed in each state
and these men will make arrange
ments for the collection of the com
paratively small amount of money
necessary from each state to make
this memorial possible. Lovers of
France in every state have already
come forward as volunteers.
The committee has selected Fred
crick MacMonnies as the sculptor.
He is at work on the preliminary
sketches and will leave for France
shortly to complete his drawings.
Several preliminary models are also
nearing completion.
No Location Picked.
The exact location of the statue
has not yet been determined, but it
will be at a spot near the little town
of Meaux, on the Marne, which
forms the high water mark of the
German advance in 1914. Marshal
Joffre and Marshal Foch will to
gether fix upon the exact location.
The erection of this memorial has
already received the highest official
sanction, the French ambassador
having cordially approved it, and M.
richon, when minister of foreign
affairs, on behalf of the1 French gov
ernment, having tbrmally accepted it
with an expression of gratitude.
The movement to erect this me
morial began in 1916, when a few
far-seeing men realized what the
desperate stand of France at the
Marne meant to the world. The
preliminary plans were under way
when the United States entered the
war, but were postponed for obvious
reasons.
$100 Bills Come' Out of Box
With Speed Like Magic
New York, Jan. 25. A wooden
box, a foot high and several feet
long, with revolving metal plates
on the top and bottom, which by
electric manipulation seemingly
changed pieces of paper into brand
new $100 bills with speed and skill,
was the cause of the arrest here of
Henry Klein on the charge of hav
ing a fake money-making machine
in his possession. The police be
lieve, they said, that men have been
operating among foreigners out of
town, and selling the machine to
any buyer who had $500 and was
ignorant of the law. At the police
station the machine, when set in
motion, with great noise and buzzing
exchanged three pieces of paper,
marked with red and blueink marks
to represent the threads of federal
banks notes for three new $100 bills.
About a year ago, according to the
police, a man named Loper, from
Pittsburgh, together with a band of
swindlers, operated in this city and
other places selling a similar ma

Chicago Man Returns From
Novel Work With Near
East Mission in
Armenia.
Chicago, Jan. 25. The ' latest
agency to be employed in aiding
the destitute ' adults and orphans
in Armenia is a marriage bureau.
Lieut. Chester Forester Dunham,
a Chicago man and a United States
army reserve chaplain, returned to
his home from abroad, where he
was engaged in the Near East relief
center at Broussa, Armenia, for sev
eral monthsi He told of this ar
rangement. "It is absolutely proper for a phi
lanthropic organization to undertake
to guide the course of maids and
men into matrimonial harbors of
safety," said Lieutenant Dunham.
"The-idea amazes one, but if you
were familiar with conditions in
Armenia, you would agree that this
marriage problem is more neces
sary in this unfortunate land thair
anywhere else on earth.
Protects Their Morale.
"The American committee for re
lief in the Near East was compelled
to start a marriage bureau to pro
tect the morale of the Armenian
people. It sounds unique, but it is
the most useful of the many activi
ties of this wonderful. philanthropic
organization. To provide food and
raiment, shelter and occupation for
these unfortunate victims of Turk
ish brutality is naturally the first
great need.
"But ai)ermanent solution of the
pitiable plight of the thousands of
innocent 'women and girls who have
been unwilling victims of the Turk
ish slavery custom calls for welfare
work which may seem strange to
western ideals, buf at the same time
is of the sternest need and of abun
dant interest, too." i
Lieutenant Dunham said the bu
reau is no romantic marriage mart,
but a serious institution that is do
ing a tremendous work toward the
re-establishment of selfrespect in the
unfortunate girls who were victims
of Turkish horrors and the building
of a domestic life that will be the
most healthful influence the locality
could have created in it.
Husbands Are Found.
"This bureau is one of the most
important features of our work,"
continued Lieutenant Dunham, "hav
ing been established primarily to
aid the girls and women rescued
from Turkish harems in getting hus
bands. "Armenians from the interior
come to us for aid and advice in
securing wives. They trust Amer
icans implicitly and know we have
their best interests at heart. We in
vestigate every case and if we find
that , the man is the right sort we
get him in communication with these
girls who, despite their frightful
experiences, have preserved . their
purity of heart and spirit.
"Every such marriage has been
successful. The men are honest and
worthy and the girls are so grateful
for their deliverance from bondage
that they are more than willing to
accept fully and gracefully the du
ties of wives. There is little doubt
the work will ultimately build up a
sturdy new nation.
Left to Their Fate.
"Considerably less' than one-half
of the Armenian population that ex
isted before the war now survives.
No Christian powerj came to the
help of the poor Armenians until
the Turks had done their worst.
They were left alone in their agony
until the war was over.
"In one region a community of
80,000 Armenians were gathered to
gether and driven into an inaccessi
ble desert, where they were all
killed or left to starve. Scores
of thousands of gentle Armenian
girls were put to death with every
shame and torture that devilish bru
tality could suggest. It was . the
greatest tragedy of all time.
"The American committee for re
lief in the Near East decided that
a great concerted effort should be
made to save the remnant of the Ar
menian nation, and no better plan
was ever evolved than that' of a
marriage bureau. . It is a credit to
America. It will be the means of
rehabilitating Armenia with a gen
eration of real, red-blooded people."

FOR FIRST TIME

Will Offer Evidence to Refute
Charges Made by Miners'
of Exhorbitant T.
y Profits.
Washington, Jan. 25. Mine op
erators of the central competitive
field announced today that in pre-,
senting data this week to the coal
strike settlement committee, their
records will be laid "beore the pub
lie view for the first time."
."The operators will produce fig
ures to support their insistence that
their profits have not been exorbi
tant, as the miners have maintained
In some fields, the operators will
stoow their profits have not resulted
in even a reasonable return on th
capital invested. Their figures will
show that, because ' of the 14 per
cent increase recently granted, many
mines have been threatened . with -bankruptcy.
" .
"Payroll evidence will be offered
to show that the miners, in most
fields, can make from $10 to $12. a
day and that $15 a day can be
earned readily in the richer mining
districts,' which operate from 250 to
275 days a year. It will be shown
that comparatively few of the men
in the field work steadily and that
if they did, their yearly earnings,
would be increased by from 15 to
20 per cent. This, they will show"
would not add one cent a ton td
the present price of coal.
"The operators will offer figure
from their books to show that the?
possible .number of days for worW
is a great deal more than the,J80A
to 200 day a year which the miner
claim to be the maximum. .
"Cost of living in mining confj
munities will be gone into and' the
operators will argue that the 14 pet ;
cent wage advance recently granted,
which was absorbed by;,the opera,
tors without any increase in the
price of coal to the cqnsumer, wii
more than enough to tover any irr
crease in the cost of living."

EDWIN JONES IS
BACK AT WORK
CCCI IMG CIMC
Weighed Only 100' Pounds
When He Began Taking ;
Tanlac, But Weighs 125 -Pounds
Now. - ;
"I was almost a wreck and
weighed only one hundred pounds
when I began taking Tanlac, but
now I tip the scales at one hundred
and twenty-five, and have gone back
to work," was the remarkable state
ment made recently by Edwin Jones,
a popular employe of the Holt Mfg.
Co., living at 212 Monson street,
East Peoria, 111. . ,
"I had suffered for five years be
fore I got hold of Tanlac and I tell
you I was about at bad off as a man
ever gets," he continued. "My
nerves were so completely shattered
that I became upset at almost noth
ing and I was so restless and mis
erable at night that I could get only
a few hours' sleep. I was troubled
with indigestion a great deal and gas
formed and pressed up into my chest
so that it kept me in misery for
hours after every meal. I had prac
tically lost my appetite and I scarce
ly ate enough to keep alive. I fi
nally got so I was unable to do jt
day's work and I had fallen off un
til I was hardly more than a frame.
"I was getting worse and worse
and I hardly know where I would
have been by now if it hadn't been
for Tanlac. , Well, sir, the way Tan
lac went after my troubles was a
complete surprise and by the.time I
had taken four bottles I was a dif
ferent man. My nerves calmed
down and now thev are as ntpnrlv m
iteel. My digestion could not be bet-
ter than it is now, for I am eating
anything I want without any bad
after-effects in the least. -Sleep?
Why, I am sleeping- like a log and
when I get up of mornings I feel
just Tine. Ayy my strength and en
ergy have come back and, as I said,
I have gained twenty-five pounds in
weight. I have gone back to my
work and never miss a day."
