The vote was 228 to 139 and was . . A 4.1 A. t along strictly party lines, except mai ' 19.

The Bee makes the following statement relative to charges pub lished in its columns under a former ownership and management, concerning Police 'Officers John Herdzina, George Armstrong and O. V. Thestrup, and Mrs. Stephen Sedlacek, charges which the present management of The Bee has investigated and found to-be false and groundless. " On June 16, 1919, The Bee published what is known as "Roy Kelly's Statement," in which it was charged that the police raid on the Brbwn apartments was "framed;" that Herdzina and Armstrong ar ranged it, were intoxicated, got Kelly drunk and allowed him to escape. In the same edition, an article was published alleging that Armstrong had wrecked the home of one Stephen Sedlacek,, had taken Sedlacek's wife out riding repeatedly in police cars and was guilty of other im proper acts. , 1 v On July 16, 1919, another article was published charging that the death of one John Redin was "due to the absolute neglect and rough treatment he was accorded at the hands of the police," naming Officers Herdzina and O. V. Thestrup. Redin died after falling intoa cistern and the article inferred that these officers took $33 from his pockets while removing the body. A similar charge of wrongfully abstracting money from a corpse was made against the same officers in an article published July 18, referring to the death of one Jud Tobias. Again, on July 7, 1919, Herdzina and Thestrup were charged with- misconduct in connection with the arrest of one Tony Peruccello. The present management of The Bee has investigated these several matters, which occurred while this newspaper was under another ownership and management. It is convinced that the officers were Hot guilty of the various acts charged, that Armstrong was not even acquainted with Mrs. Sedlacek at the time related, that the several publications were false in both fact and implication and constituted an unwarranted reflection on the character and motives of the yarious persons named. In accordance with its policy of fair dealing, The Bee makes these retractions and expresses its regret at the injury done these officers and Mrs. Sedlacek. with republicans favoring it. Final action by the house came after an hour's debate, the republi cans refusing to grant the demo cratic request for more time. Spokes men for both parties in the course of the debate announced a willing ness .to enter the political campaign on their present records. Only one democrat, Representative Huddleston of Alabama, expressed fear of possible political conse quences. He declared the democrats were riding to defeat because of their course in regard to the question of peace and asserted that if the San Francisco convention approved Pres dent Wilson's treaty position it should nominate him for a third term "so he could go to his defeat." VILLA BECOMING BIG PROBLEM TO REBEL LEAOERS General Callas Unable to Ob tain Promise of Co-Operation From Bandit Chief. " . Washington, May 21. Francisco Villa, who has' defied every govern ment in Mexico' since the overthrow ol Madero, already has become an embarrassment to officials ,of the new government. A report to the Slate department today that Villa had captured and was holding for $50,000 ransom George ' Miller, British superinten dent of the Alvaedo Mining and Milling Co., at Parral, Chihuhua, followed a report that General Cal les had failed toobtain from the out law leader an unconditional promise' of co-operation. x A. J. McQuarters of New York, president of the mining company, today sought the advice of govern ment officials regarding payment of the ransom. The State department, it is understood, has taken no action although it was regarded possible that representations would be made, not to the authorities' in Mexico City, but to the de facto leaders in Chi huahua. Order Prevails. Neither official or unofficial, re ports indicated that the authorities at Mexico City had carried, out their implied threat to force payment of the export taxes due from the oil companies. Information reaching the govern ment and the revolutionary agents agree that order in Mexico has pre vailed in the past few days. General Arrieta, governor of Du- rango, has not yet announced his endorsement of the new government and a force under Gen. Jose Hurtado fe9 Out Now - ' " .

Pablo Gonzales when he declared against the Car ranza government are set forth fully in a manifesto he has addressed to the nation. Assurances of public or der and that property rights, both Mexican and foreign owned, will be respected, together with the an nouncement of his withdrawal as a candidate for president to further assure constitutional public order are contained in the manifesto. Particular interest is attached to the declarations contained in the manifesto in view of the fact that General Gonzalez has directed gov ernmental affairs since the flight of Carranza from the capital May 7, and that his nominees will exercise control of government departments until congress names a provisional president. It is generally expected that General Gonzalez will be the choice of the members of congress for provisional president. MEAT SUPPLY IS THREATENED BY CAR SHORTAGE Some Plants May s Have to Shut Down Due to Lack Of Refrigerators.. French Woman Worth 25 Russian Soldiers Paris, May 21. One French wo man or child is worth just over 25 Russian soldiers .according to the figures arrived at by French officials at Copenhagen. By an agreement reached here with Rilsian agents, France will exchange 3,000 interned Russian prisoners for 125 French women and children now in Russia. Chicago, May 21. An immediate constriction of thee nation's meat supply is threatened by the reduced quota of refrigerator cars appor tioned to packing companies by the Interstate Commerce commission, according' to a statement issued by Thomas E. Wilson, president of the Institute of American Meat Packers in behalf of American packing com panies. "Reports received at the institute from several sections show that some plants may have to shut down on account of the lack of cars," the statement said. "Other plants have been forced to effect a 50 per cent curtailment of the production of meat and some of these are on the point of stopping operations en tirely. ,V "No packer owns enough refriger ator cars to take care ofhis own business. The larger packers are compelled to rely on railroad owned cars for 25 to 35 per cent of their requirements, and the smaller pack ers depend largely on these common carriers. "Ordinarily the necessities of the packing industry ape recognized and filled in order to pro'tect the consum er. But the Interstate Commerce conftnission has diverted to other use a considerable share of the quota usually assigned and urgently need-, ed to move meat." Millionaire Newlywed Pays for Furniture On Installment Plan t hl.nro Trlhiinr-Omaha n Lriufd Wlr. Effingham. 111., May 21. John Al fred Fookes, who startled society hereabouts by depositing securities alleged to be worth $1,000,000 in the name of his beautiful bride be fore she would consent to the cere mony, strolled about the streets with Jier today, creating ,unusual excite- in pin.

In payment Fookes offered a $200 check for some oil stock he had sold for a Chicago brokerage firm, saying he wished to pay $50 on the furniture and get the balance in cash. The merchant' cashed the check, but learned by telegraph that Fookes had no authority to use the brokerage firms checks. The- city marshal was called into the case and Fookes straifi-htened out the affair and was released. Commission Approves Big Loan to Railroads Washington, jv'ay 21. A loan of at least $125,000,000 out of the $300, 000,000 revolving fund to enable rail loads to purchase equipment re quired to meet transportation needs of the public was approved today by the Interstate Commerce commission. German socialists -Demand That State Qf Siege Be Lifted Berlin, May 21. "phe independent socialists took advantage - of the temporary absence from thaoiational assembly chamber of most of. the members of the parties of the right to put through a motion demanding that the state of siege existing in various parts of the country be raised immediately. The opportunity came after the speech of Frau Zeit?, independent socialist, who during the debate on, an interpellation complaining of acts of brutality toward women and chil dren, by the French black troops in the occupied area, reminded the in tcrpcllators that they had failed to mention the acts of German soldiers against women in Russia, Belgium and elsewhere. frau eitz remarks created a tre mendous uproar and after it had died down the greater part of the members of the right left the house. Upon this the independent socialists submitted their motion, and it was adopted. Legion Starts Campaign To Adopt French Children Indianapolis, Ind., May 21. The American Legion inaugurated a cam paign for the readoption of approx imately 3,000 of the more than 3,700 fatherless French children whom the American Expeditionary Force cared for during the war. It is said that only about 700 of the children have been able to live without outside assistance since the A. E. F. ceased to provide for them. THOMPSON-BELDEN & CO i i i i i 1 1 1 1 Dependable New Merchandise at Fair Prices The theory of "something for nothing" was discarded long ago by thinking people. ' Time, skill and good mate rials cost money. By slighting quality it is only natural that the price is lower. But, as in every other instance, the first price is unimportant unless the service rendered is satisfyingly long and pleasant. Puchase quality and the price will lake care of itself in a manner entirely satisfactory I t : Thompson-Bel den & Company have ' devoted thirty-four years to the practice of this principle, believing it to be right beyond question. - ' HABERDASHERY That Offers Every Attraction v in Style, Quality and Price There is nothing so pleasant as to discover a shop where everything offered is desirable..
