SAYS HE IS NOT TAKING ANY PART IN POLITICS Tells Women to Stay in Their Own Parties Says Conduct Of Women During War Won Him to Suffrage Cause. . Former President William How crd Taft, who arrived at noon yes terday from York, Neb., to deliver a series of addresses in Omaha and Council Bluffs, stated that he is not in politics. "Tire only time I ever attended a national convention was in 1880 when 1 was assigned by the city editor of the Cincinnati Commer cial," he said, adding that he is on particular terms of friendship with all of the republican candidates be ing mentioned and asserting that he will support the nominee. Mr. Taft was escorted from the Burlington depot to the apartments of Mr. and Mrs. Gould Dietz in Hotel Fontenelle. His program for the day began with an address to a meeting of teachers in the Council Bluffs auditorium on "The Fresent Status of the League of Nations." Addressed Omaha Women. Quietly,-and with some "poking of fun," Mr. Taft talked "politics" at 4 p. m, to Omaha women gathered in the women s republican comm.it tee headquarters, 310 South Nine teenth street. However, it wasn't partisan politics. Mr. Taft neatly sidestepped any at tempt on the part of the women to get his endorsement of any pandi date. . ' "I don't think it is proper for a man who has ever been' a presidenti al nomine of a-patyto lake any part in convention preliminaries,' Mr. Taft explained. ; "Women must use logic in this business," Mr. Taft told them. "They must down their feelings. They must not allow an orator to sway their feelings. "They must not allow such a speech as Mr. Bryan's when he ap pealed for the women to register democratic in order to defeat the wet element, to have any influence. "Stay In Your Party." "Stay in your own party. Any other proceeding is a departure from sound principles. We must have party government. He told the women that he had been converted to the cause of suf frage by the conduct of women dur ing the war by the ability they showed in organization at that time. "Vindicate those who gave you suffrage," he advised. "I have been interested in your fight for suffrage," Mr. Taft con tinued. "I'm interested in seeing if you can get that thirty-sixth state to ratify. ' ' "I can't help but believe that you women are overoptimistic of your ability to get that state when I think of the newspaper reports from the women during the Delaware (Continued on Page Three, Column Three.) Can Sleep In Latest Paris Waists Because They Are Tattooed On Cbiraro Tribune-Omaha Bee Leaved Wire. Chicago, April 3. One can sleep in the latest Faris waist, if the hectic and excited dispatches arc to be believed. In fact one has to sleep in it, for it is tattooed on. The latest Paris modes provide a sort of girdle, a strap or two, leav ing" a large expanse of gleaming back, shoulders and arms. Upon this fine, pink and white surface various lacy designs are tattooed. The idea is to have the gown, or what passes for a gown, made with out sleeves or front that is not much of a front or back. Then the tattooing expert is called in and fixes up a snappy and original de sign. Chicago women, those who would discuss the craze at all, were quite positive it would gain no foothold here. "Tattooing would make us look like a pack of savages," one of them said. "Why, the theaters would have to ban evening gowns. The men would alt beso busy try ing to decipher the tattooing that they would not sea the - show. American women are too self-conscious to ever adopt that fd." Hungarian Says Peace Pact ; Only Temporary In Nature Budapest, April 3. Count Albert Apponyi, returning from Paris to day for a conference tvith Admiral Horthy, Hungarian regent, and party leaders, declared that peace treaties between the allied powers and the central empires were only temporary in nature. "My impression is," he said, "that r.o allied statesmen sincerely be lieve the present peace treaties can hold for long. I have not lost hope, and believe the position of Hun gary to be better than it was a month ago," OFFICIALS GUARD AGAINST EASTER RIOTS IN DUBLIN Troops Establish Barracks in Empty Houses Search All Loads of Hay. Dublin, April 3. The military precautions in Dublin exceed any thing of the kind seen since Easter, 1915. Particular attention is being paid by the military cordon around the city to loads of hay, which are probed with bayonets, while even the suburban street cars are stopped and the passengers searched for arms. At Finglas on the north side of the city, the military have taken possession of some unoccupied houses and appear to contemplate a stay for a few days. St. Edwards college at Rathfarnham formerly conducted by Patrick Pearse, who was executed during the rebellion of 1916 is also occupied by soldiers. They have erected a barricade with barbed wire on the roads outside of Cullenwood house, in Ranelach, where Pearse's mother lives and the children's school kept by Miss Duffy, sister of George Gavan Duf fy, who was identified with the de fense of Sir- Roger Casement and Sinn Fein representative at Paris. The residence of Miss Humphrey, sister of "The O'Reilly" who was killed in the street fighting at the time of the rebellion, was searched and Mrs. Humphrey s son-in-law, a student, was arrested. . An armored car is stationed at the entrance to Kingstown pier to re inforce the military guard there. Soldiers unloaded fresh supplies of ammunition at Northwall, and con veyed it in motor cars, protected by armored cars through the city. Dispatches from various parts of the country indicate a similar state of affairs at Derry, Tipperary, Newry Limerick and other places, j . LARGE PER CENT OF FOOD AFFECTED BY PACKERS' DIVORCE i ' Decree Dissolving Firms Will Have Bearing on One-Fourth '.-..Of Refrigerator Tonnage. Chicago: "''Apii''1-! ThVv'fed'er'al court decree dissolving the packers will affect about one-fourth of the total tonnage of unrelated food articles carried in the packers' re frigerator cars, Richard O'Hara, transportation expert of Swift & Co., testified on cross-examination by Clifford Thome of the National Wholesale Grocers' association in the hearing before the- Interstate Commerce Commission here. Mr. Thorne brought put that ap proximately 26 per cent of the total tonnage in refrigerator cars was not fresh meat or packing house prod ucts, and that only 6 per cent ot this tonnage would be affected by the de cree obtained by Attorney General Palmer. The figures were based on the grocers' contentiton that lard substitutes are not packing house products, as maintained by the pack ers. About 6 per cent of the total tonnage is lard substitutes. Asked if Swift & Co. would object to the entering of an order barring canned goods and fish from the company's cars, counsel for the company said they would not ap prove such an order, but -would not oppose it. George P. Boyle, counsel for Wilson & Co.. de clared that his firm and the Inde pendent Packing company would "seriously object to any order that would prevent them shipping any grocery items or other food prod ucts in their cars." 1 The hearing, which has been in progress for a week, was adjourned and wilt be continued a week later in Washington. . , Picketing of British Embassy by Party . Of Women Called Off Washington, April 3. Picketing of the British embossy by women fav orable to an Irish republic was called off by the leaders of the movement. Mrs. Thomas Corliss of New York, one of the leaders; said the State department had not communi cated with the women. ' "We . picketed the embassy on Good Friday," she said, "to remind Great Britain and the State depart ment of the crucifixion of Christ and to call attention that Ireland was being crucified." r It was learned that police officials, who were at the embassy Friday to prevent any disorder arising out of the picketing, informed the women that Jheir action was a breach of international law and consequently was quite different from that of the suffragists who picketed the White house two years ago. 1 , Allies Send Note to Turks London, April 3.

AGREE TO AIR MAIL SYSTt; BUT CUT FUND MERCHANTS ASK S -MENT OF ' ..i .i-h'T PAR ROW a Steps Taken to End Strike at Toledo New Wage Scale Urged. Conferees on Post Office Bill Adopt Senate Plans for Coast To Coast Service, But Reduce Appropriation $65,000. NAME THREE REASONS FOR ACTION OF CONFEREES Service to Public, Military Emergency Policy and Com mercial Encouragement Were Prompting Causes. By E. C. SNYDER. WnliinKton Correspondent Omaha Bee, Washington, April 3. Special Telegram.) The conferees on the post office appropriation bill have agreed to the coast to coast air mail service and have cut the appropria tion from $1,415,000, as adopted by the senate, to $1,250,000, which they thought would be sufficient to in augurate the service from Chicago via Omaha to San Francisco. In reaching the agreement the conferees were . largely actuated with a desire to dd what they could toward developing nd improving the air service, both as an offensive and a defensive weapon, the events of the last three years Having dem onstrated the vital importance of having trained aviators, who could be transferred to the military de partment immediately in the event of war. Three Reasons Named. Three reasons prompted the sen ate to include this tern in the post office appropriation bill, after the house had refused to make any ap propriation whatsoever for air mail service, and they were, according, to Senator Henderson of Nevada, one of the ' champions of the" measure' "First, service to the public; second, it keeps up an organization that coXild readily be turned over to the military authorities in time of need few-, military, purposes, and third,, it would lend to stimulate and encour age - commercial development and enterprise in this industry." Congressman Jeff eris, who has de voted the major portion of his time outside of his legislative duties to getting the house conferees on the postoffice appropriation bill to agree to the senate amendment since its adoption by the upper branch, ex pressed himself as greatly pleased with the outcome, even though the original amount carried in thesen ate amendment had been cut $65,000. Prospects Are Favorable. He said the probabilities were all in favor of the house accepting the report of its conferees, in view of the fact that the report, he under stood, would be unanimous. He had personal talks with Chairman Steen crson and Representatives Madden of Illinois and Griest of Pennsyl vania of the committee and urged upon them the importance of mak ing this experiment in view of the testimony of General Mitchell of the aircraft service before the senate postoffice committee that it would help to develop the aerial service along practical lines and, in the case of threatened war, a service would be available in the route between the Atlantic and Pacific, as recom mended by the War department. In addition to that the aviators, in the long flight between the Atlantic and Pacific, would encounter all the altitudes, all conditions of climate and all temperatures that prevail in the United States, a very necessary and vital knowledge to have in case of war. The appropriation will not be available until July 1, in the event the amendment is adopted by the house. Secretary Meredith Conducts Hearing on Grading of Wheat Chicago, April 3. More than 200 farmers, commision men and mill ers attended a hearing conducted by Secretary Meredith, of the Depart ment of Agriculture, on alleged un fairness of specifications for wheat grades. , Farmers asserted that specifications for number one wheat, in which most of the trading is done at present, called for a grade so per fect that it was difficult to fill orders. Harry N. Owen, who represented spring wheat growers, in Minnesota and North and South Dakota, read a list of modifications, requested by the states he represented. Mr. Owen said farmers were becoming discour aged because of high grain stand ards. A. L. Goetzmann of La Crosse, Wis., president Of the National Millers' Federation, charged that the present grading of spring wheat was low. Embargo Placed on All ' Freight for N. Y. Export New York, April 3. A general embargo on export freight through New York, brought about by- the discontinuance of export freight per mits', was placed in effect here by the various rail lines on ac count of the harbor strike. At the office of the traffic control manager of the railroads, it was said that it was uncertain when the issuance of permits would ,be resumed. , Toledo, April 3. The first move in an attempt to restore at the earli est possible date street car service suspended at 4 o'clock Saturday morning was made when leading merchants met and demanded imme diate settlement of the traction ques tion that has been buffeted about in the city hall for the last several years. They voted approval of the higher wage scale for the car men and also tli increased fare to take care of tne wage boost. They proposed an inter view with the six councilmen who balked ratification of the agreement between the car men, company of ficials and Mayor Schreiber, provid ing for both advances. In addition to the city lines two interurban roads are tied up.- Erst while car patrons aer trying to get along with an. improvised bus sys tem which fails to meet the demand. Bus fare has been fixed at 10 cents with 25 cents as the maximum charge after midnight. The Toledo Railway and Light company, through Henry L. Doher ty of New York, head of the com pany, sent a letter to Mayor Schrei ber which breaks off all negotiations.

S OF THE WORLD "POLISHED UP U WAR VN THE STARS ml ffimt YST OWEN AND MARY DENY CHARGES OF COLLUSION Former Husband of Film Star Has Only Kind Things To Say About Mary Herself. Los Angeles, Cal., April. 3. The wedding of Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks has already been marred by one dark cloud the in vestigation by Assistant Attorney General Robert Richards of Nevada, into the divorce of Miss Pickford from Owen Moore, which made pos sible her later marriage. Legal opinion here and in Ne vada is that the Pickford divorce is "voidable, but not void"; that if ac tion is taken to set it aside Mary may still find herself the legal wife of Owen Moore. Miss Pickford indignantly denies that there was any collusion in her divorce, or that the "coincidence" by which Mr. Moore "happened" to be in Minden to be personally served in the case was other than mere happen chance. Nevada to Be Home. "I told the judge," said Miss Pick ford, "that I intended to make Ne vada my home. Thaf is true. The ranch near Minden is the place where I intend to settle down, when I do. Of course, my pictures take me away from there, and I expect to travel in Europe, but there was no attempt to hoodwink anyone. "The stories that Mr. Moore was paid to accept personal service and agree to the divorce are absurd and an insult to him. He happened to be at Wally Springs, near Minden, c.n location, taking snow pictures. I learned of it and took advantage of it to try for my divorce then. That is, all there is to it." Owen Moore, Mary's former hus band, has consistently refused to say a single unkind word about her. In his first statement, issued today, he said in part: Good Word for Mary. "I have never received, directly or indirectly, a single dollar from Mary., She has her career and I have had mine. I sacrificed much that she might make the most of her op portunities. Sh? says that I said many things about her mother; that is true. I said many harsh but true things about Mrs. Smith, and it was her fear that T would come between Mary and herself that led to much of the unhappiness in the life of Mary and I. "As for Mary herself, she has al ways been, and always will be, the most wonderful girl in the world to me. I don't feel that it is necessary nor fitting for me to comment on her marriage. Just let me say that I wish her the greatest happiness, wherever she may go and whatever she may do." Persons In Flood District . . Of Tennessee Are Warned Chattanooga, Tenn., April 3.

Buenos Aires, April 3. Joseph Shea, United States ambassador to Chile, has answered the recent note of Foreign Minister Huidobro of Chile, rejecting intervention by Washing ton in "the Tacna and Arica case, or any other," according to advices from Santiago. Mr. Shea's communication ex plains that the principle of non-intervention was incorporated in the policy of the United States many years ago and says that the defini tion of the North American attitude as given by Secretary of State Colby, that the LTnited States did not intend to intervene in the present dispute or exercise pressure "is perfectly in accord with my opinion." The ambassador's reply discloses that the report of the Chilean ambas sador at Washington, Betran Methiu. concerning his conversation with Secretary Colby, was sent to Chile by wireless. Paragraph Omitted. It now appears that an important paragraph in Foreign Minister Huidobro's note was omitted in the text as at first published here. This paragraph reads: "The ascending scale of Chilean and ' American commercial inter change is evidence that our two re publics feel they are mutually and satisfactorily linked by common faith in the priciple of non-intervention. I recall very clearly at this time this policy's connection with the doctrine of traditions which sus tain it, with the well justified pur-J pose that our cordiality and inter change be intensified and increased as it has been up to now, toward a prosperous and better future."
