not listen to the siren sonf? of Wil
liam J. Bran in his effort to get
them into the democratic party,"
is the statement ivade by Mrs. Lula

be able to convince them that it is'
t heir duty to go into the democratic
party just so they can vote for him
for delegate at large, he says:
"Republican women of Nebraska
are not going to be misled by the
siren song of the democratic, lead
ers who are urging them to forswear
the republican party and enter the
primary as democrats in order to
vote for a dry democrat The record
of the republican party is such that
pdjectives 'wet' and 'dry' are super

POLICE BELIEVE LATEST FASHIONS
ROSENTHAL SHOT BRING GASP FROM
BY HIS OWN SON NEW YORK CROWDS
Investigation Shows Fatal Bui-Even Fifth Avenue Gets Thrill
let Came From .32 j From Newest Thing
Caliber Gun. j In Wraps.
That Harris Rosenthal, o4 years
old, 1424 North Twentieth street,
killed Saturday night during an at
tempted holdup, was accidentally
shot by his son, Jake, who fired at
two negro highwaymen in his store
at J24 North Eighteenth street, is
the opinion of detectives investigat
ing the case.
Mr. Rosenthal was killed by a .52
caliber bullet, according to Dr. S.
McCleneghan, county physician,
who probed for the bullet yesterday
afternoon. Shots fired by the high
waymen were from .58 caliber
guns, police say.
Jake Rosenthal handed over to
detectives a .52 caliber gun from
which he said he fired five shots at
the highwaymen.
HoLJ Inquest Today.
An inquest will be held at 2
o'clock tin's afternoon at Hoffman's
Funeral Home, Twenty-fourth and
Dodge streets.
The two confessed negro high
waymen. Willard Carroll, 1155
North Eighteenth street, and Rozell
Cottrcll. 2511 Lake street, were ar
rested shortly after the shooting and
attempted holdup of the Rosenthal
grocery.
According to a written confession
made by Irene Baker, common-law
wife of Cottrell, who is being held
by police for investigation, the two
negroes have been responsible for
two recent holdups in Omaha. The
trio came to Omaha recently from
Kansas City.
The holdup occuredat 8:30 Satur
day evening just after Mr. Rosen
thal had stopped in the store to
visit with his son. Several customers
and clerks were also in the place
when the two negro highwaymen
entered.
Witnesses say but one of the two
had a gun. Mr. Rosenthal was
standing in the center of the store
beside a cracker box. His son was
in the rear of the place.
"L'p with your hands, all of you,"
one of the negroes commanded.
Son Starts Firing.
Mrs. Jake Rosenthal, standing be
hind a counter, screamed. Her hus
band, aware of an attempted hold
up, snatched a gun from a nearby
desk and started firing, witnesses
say.
According to Horace Cole, 15
years old, clerk in the store, one
of the negroes tired at the same
time. An instant later, Mr. Rosen
thal fell mortally wounded the bul
let entering the left ear and lodging
behind the right eye.
The negro highwaymen left the
store without searching the clerks
or rifling the till. They escaped
west on Chicago street.
In an alleged confession to police
Rozell Cottrell admitted that he
tired two shots in the Rosenthal
store. His gun was found later at
his home. The other highwayman
had no gun. police say.
Potii negroes were rushed to the
county jail for safe keeping. Police
feared an attempt to lynch them.

By WINIFRED VANDUZER.
I nlversal Service Staff Correspondent.
New York, March 28. The rose
blossom neck scarf and the all-lace
wrap are fashion's newest foibles.
They appeared recently upon Fifth
avenue and were greeted with a
gasp by the thrill-loving crowd
which promenades there at the tea
hour.
Imagine, oh gentle reader, a cape
falling full from the neck straight
below the knees, fashioned with the
new wide standup collar, slitted for
the arms, according to the last min
ute's mode and all made of the
sheerest, finest quality of black
Chantilly lace!
There were claws behind the vel
vet of the breeze, and madamc who
wore the cape over a frilled taffeta
didn't look any too warm as she
hurried from the limousine to a
shop. Another feature of her attire
was a lace veil, heavy of quality as
her cape, stretched tightly across
forehead and eyes, and leaving nose
and the remainder of her face quite
exposed.
May Replace Summer Furs.
As to the rose-blossom neck
scarf that appeared almost fre
quently and in one of those shops
so exclusive that it prints its name
in letters no bigger than those of a
visiting card, it was said that these
scarfs, developed from the stray
idea of a Paris dressmaker, will
take the place of the summer furs
which have been popular several
seasons. Ar 1 one must admit that
they are more appropriate for such
purpose.
Those seen were made of either
pink of the rich "1 love you" red ci
American beauties. The blooms
were about five inches across and a
half-dozen of them circled the
throat. They were high enough to
lend softness while the bright-hued
velvet petale colored up otherwise
somewhat sombre costumes. Wheth
er flowers other than roses wiH be
used for these scarfs no one as yet
seems to know".
Season of Flapper Figures.
Even as one predicted a few
weeks back, this is a season of
flapper figures. The figure which
looks like the perpendicular pro
noun is the stylish one, and atl
those inclined to bulge apparently
have been remodeled. But the
paradox of it all is this: No sooner
does madame oft times through
trial and tribulation of spirit
achieve the silhouette of dangling
ropes than straightway she gets out
to destroy it with frills, flounces,
accordion plaitings and even wir
ings. Whv the situation is thus, one
may not know, but not for ears
have suit skirts been such series of
flounces nor have frocks shown such
fullness and siandotit devices round
the hips as they do today. All of
which, combined with extreme
shortness, causes the feminine por
tion of the city to appear as if it
were peopled with little girls.

Fremont to Again Hear
Washerwoman-Diamond
Ring Mystery Trial
Fremont. Neb., March 28. (Spe
cial.) Fremont's diamond ring
mystery, involving Mrs. Belle Roth,
wealthy real estate owner, and Mrs.
Christine Dunkel, her washerwoman
and former tenant, will be aired
again in district court, Judge F. W.
Button has granted a new trial of
the case. A previous jury had de
cided that the washerwoman owned
the ring in dispute and ordered the
wealthy defendant to give it up.
Mrs. Roth yesterday presented to
the court a second diamond ring,
flawless and valued by jewelers at
$875, which she said was found in
the yard of Mrs. Duukel's home. It
was 1-t contention in the first trial
that the washerwoman lost the ring
as she was hanging up clothes to
dry.
Mrs. Dunkel spurned the second
ring and declared in court it was not
her jewel but the judge announced
its appearance was -ground for an
other hearing. The case will be one
of the first at the April term of
court.

With 15-Year-0ld Boy

fully denying the charge that she
permitted the attentions of Cortncy
Faries, a 15-year-old boy, Mrs.
Mary A. Stanton, sued by Ray
mend F. Stanton, formerly in the
radio department of the aviation
corps, defied her husband to "prove
it."
Stanton asked the court to award
him their 7-year-old child, "Jack,"
c;n the ground that his wife was
over-friendly with the Faries lad.
"That boy Cortney used to rock
the cradle of our baby," said Mrs.
Stanton. "He was only II, a little
boy in knee breeches. I was 20 and
a wife and mother. I had been mar
ried three years at the time, with
a grown-up man for a husband. I
would not want a 15 y ear-old boy
for an admirer the idea is unthink
able." Stanton introduced letters his
wife admitted she wrote to the 15-year-old
boy, F'aries. In one of
these letters the wife is alleged to
have said:
"Take a tin from an old married
woman; let the young girls alone
only go with those old enough to!
take care of themselves." j

Paris, March JS. " Pussyfoot"
Johnson already is starting to throw
a scare into the Parisian "rum
hounds." He admits the almost
utter futility of trying to get France
completely on the water wagon
away from wine and beer, but he is
starting to launch a broadside
against cognac, benedictinc and oth
er spirituous liquors.
Today in sundry cafes and lean
ing restaurants soft spoken, sleek
individuals with a feeling of dread
mixed among the various lunchers
watching the color and quality ot
their drinks.
War Law Still Live.
The unrepealed war time law
forbidding the sale of spirituous
liquors to women and men in uni
form outside of certain hours is still
reported technically in force in
Paris,
Word went tho rounds of res
taurants and cafe proprietors that
these "sleuths of Pussyfoot" were
out collecting evidence against
proprietors who are using this for
gotten status by serving thirsty cus
tomers "firewater."
Lid Clamped Down.
As a result the lit! has been
clamped down in a number of places
and many Parisiennes grudgingly
went without their daily after lunch
"bracer."
"Pussyfoot" has only one eye, -but
the Parisians say it is a "pippin"
and all seeing.
At Johnson's headquarters all
uowIedgc of "slick sleuths" was
denied. Until the "Pussyfoot"
scare passes away these places will
sneak spirituous booze out to cus
tomers in teacups as in war times.
Of course, wine and beer can be
served openly as always, and niost
thirst shops will defy "Pussyfoot"
and his consort altogether.
