THE BEE: .OMAHA. MONDAY, JULY 12, 1920. HORSE EXPOSES MURDER OF MAN AFTER15 YEARS Historic French Town Thrived By Enactment of Real Life ' Tragedy Guilty Wom an Confesses. By WALTER DURANTY. t'Mraf Tribune-Omaha Bee ImkI Hire. Tarii, July 1!. The historic old N'orman town of Bayeaux, where William the Conqueror conies from, just witnessed the third act of a tragedy as dramatic as any of its storied past. Fifteen years ago the Golden Lion tavern was kept by a couple named Huchez. The man was about 35 years old, considerably younger than his wife, and his good looks and reported errant heart had given rise to no small amount of scandal. In the fall of 1905 he dis appearedhe had run away to America, it was whispered, and not alone. As it happened I visited Golden Lion at the beginning o 1906. I remembered a very pretty waitress in the saloon parlor and remember too, how the local worthies with nods and winks alternately at her and the sombre figure of Madame lluchcz behind the pay desk,, con veyed the story of the inn keeper's flight. A few months afterwards Madame lluchcz sold the inn and opened a cafe at Bayeux. She stayed there until a year or two before the war, when she retired to a lifeSof mod est independence at Grenoble. Second Act. That was the first act of the tragedy. The second act is short and grewsome. A few weeks ago a restive horse was stamping im patiently in a straw heap at one end of the Golden Inn stable. Sud denly his foot went through the ground and a half hour later a hostler found him with his hoof firmly tixed m tne spimierea top of a wooden trunk. A big square trunk was brought to light and a sharp jerk of the pick-axe wrenched off the covei. The crowd that had pressed forward shrank back in horror huddled in hredded clothing laid the skeleton of a man. The mystery of where Huchez had gone was a mystery no longer. v The police investigation showed the innkeeper had been murdered by knife thrust in the body and tlie drowsy town rocked with ex citement, y I hat ends the second act. Third Act. The third is stranger still. A dignified white-haired old woman stopped yeserday at a small cafe near Bayeux station and asked for the office of the examining mag istrate from Paris. Arrived there . she announced herself as Madam Huchez. She told the official she had some from Grenoble to explain about her husband's death. "I killed him," she said quietly. "He was rough, drunken and un faithful. Then I put his body in a trunk and buried it in the cellar -vitli the help of a male domestic. The latter took no part in the kill ing. He asked no questions" and I told him nothing." When the magistrate recovered from stupefication he tasped: "Do you feel no remorse?" "Why should I?" said Madame Huchez. "He deserved it." Then she returned to the station lo await the train to Grenoble. For, by the French statute of limitations, she cannrW be prosecuted for a crime committed 15 years ago." Credits American Dancer With Developing Ballet Paris, July 11. The revolution in Russian dancing from the old ballet to tnc truer form of semi-Grecian interpretation is to be credited to the genius of Isadora Duncen, the American. Miss Duncan arrived in St. Pe tersburg in 1905, at a tijne when the Russian ballet was a thing of class ical pirrouettes, toe-dancing and abundant skirts. ' She saw the artificiality of the thing and, with Fokine, of the Im perial Opera, evolved the present Russian dance, which is a thing of pure art. To Isadora, rather than to No jinski, Pawlowa, Karsavina, Mas sine, or to me. should go the plaud its of the world. It. was the poetry of the New Wond speaking or rather living in the art of the Old. "Ladies Only" Admitted To Bathing Suit Display London, July 11. Protected by a notice of enormous size. "Ladies Only Admitted." beautiful manikins are displaying the latest fashions in hathinor suits at one of the high- c'ass stores in Oxford street. Dark screens at windows and doors keep at bay the Peeping Toms who hover jrotrtid the fringe of the apartment in which the show is held. Sand is laid down, ropes are itretched' across a large, joom. n gramophone churns out tunes sug Resting azure skies and rippline waves, while the attractive models lean about in imaginary surf. The costumes are mostly elab orate one-niece dresses with network flounces at the waist. One daring snecimen. caled the Aphrodite costume, has a gossamer back, with no flounced skirt. Coffee Is Most Popular Drink During Prohibition Columbus, O:, July 11. Prohibi tion can count coffee dealers amoni its enthusiastic supporters Colum bus coffee dealers anyhow. Coffee is 'popular as a "kickless' . drink here. That their coffee sales have been boosted 82 per cent since Ohio went firy a year ago is uic tiaiiu- umuc by officials ot a local wholesale cot ' fee firm. Coffee dealers here say over 1,500. 000.000 oounds of cofifc were inr ported into the United States last v vear as against, t.052,000,000 pounds in ivie. ., - r, , , i . .

Tii other words, it js becoming Americanized, and the French are complaining about it. Old landmarks, quaint restaurants, large cafes with broad terraces on the sidewalk where, on a hot sum mer's afternoon the Parisian sips his coffee and watches the crowds go by, are being replaced by the halls of money kings. Paris boulevards are acquiring the stern and forbidding air of London or Xew York. Heavy iron bars, im posing marble entrances may please the depositor who thinks his money well spent, but they kill the joy of living, say Parisians. Paris of a few years ago was just as active, just as rich as Paris today. But life was morejgracious because the streets were arranged for people to live in, they were not merely pas sages from one bank to another. If Americans saved France by en tering the war, Frenchmen can't help feeling that the American spirit, per vading France today, has not added to the charm of Paris. And they long for the old Paris where even the common man had time and was able to enjoy his leisure hours. Widow Wins Permit 1 To Bury Duke With His Royal Forbears London, July 11. Princess Ne vada of Braganza, duchess of Opor to, formerly Mrs. Van valkenburg, Xew York's "tcn-million-dollar widow," has won a signal victory over the republican prejudices of the rortuguese by obtaining their per mission to reinter the remains of her third husband, the duke of Oporto, n tne L-isDan rantheon. Deeply impressed bv the elo quence of her appeals to be allowed to tulhH the duke s dvinsr wish to be buried with his forbears, the Por tuguese ministry not only granted her request but insisted she take up her residence in the royal palace, from which her nephew, Maule, fled to a warship during the revolution. 1 here she will remain until the sol emn burial of the royal duke is over. 'eanut Mill Will Uiiiize Every Part of Goober Vine Macon, Ga., July 11. A peanut mill which will utilize every part of lie vine is to be installed by the Na tional Milling company of Macon between now and October 1. The mechanical equipment, which will be modern in every way and cost in ex cess ot SJW.UUO, has already been or dered. The mill will have a capacity of 00 tons of peanuts per day. ihe machinery includes a separa tor which will take the peanuts from the vines, grading and 'shelling the nuts, baling the stalks and leaves as hay, and crushing the smaller nuts for oil and peanut mea!, and the hill's for meal to be used m feeds. The new process will eliminate the labor ot picking the peanuts, here to fore a hindrance in the commercial handling of the product. - . U. S. Holds Its Place as Greatest Diamond Buyer Chicago. July 11. The United States is still the world's greatest diamond buyer, according to Dr. Frederick Kunz's summary of the production of precious stones for lls, recently published. Dr. Kunz is America's foremost authority on precious stones. ihe imports of diamonds for. 1919, Dr. Kunz says, probably exceed those of any year in the country's history. Imports were valued at $20,- 000,000 in 1915; $35,000,000 in 1916', $-'1,000,000 in 1917, and $20,000,000 in 1918. A new demand for diamonds is developing in the east. Japan's im ports in 1918 were double those of 1917. China is becoming a large diamond buyer. The demand for diamonds in India has reawakened. Furniture Prices Beat J EVei the Bachelor Tax Paris, July 11. If the tax on bachelors fails to frighten more rrench men and women into matri mony, the reason is that buying fur niture is even more expensive than paying the tax. Before the war $400 or $500 pur chased sufficient furniture for the average small flat. Today even the humMesti bedroom set costs almost a thousand. Dishes are priceless and silver ware quite beyond the reach . of leverage salaries. The only consolation is that flats are as scarce as furniture is dear. And the unmarried state is not such an unhappy one after all say bach elors. Goats Replace Lapdogs As Society Pets Abroad London. July1. The high cost of livfng is creating a preference in society for pets that are useful as well as pretty. According to ani mal fanciers, the days of the lapdog are numbered. The ordinary farm yard goat, beribboned and washed until its hair shines, is rapidly win ning favor among continental social leaders. The Countess Folchi Vici of Brus els his created a furore by appear ing in Belgian society wiii a pet goat, and has led him through many of the most exclusive ball rooms in the Belgian capital. It yields excel lent milk in exchange for the kind ness lavished on it by its mistress. Smugglers of Gold Coins Are Making Huge Profits Rangoon, July ll It is stated that 'certain firms made a profit last year of $14,000,000 by successfully smuggling British and American gold coins into Burma. - The Rangoon customs officials, in searching a Chinese ship recently, came upon a tank filled withxwater to the depth of nearly 21 feet. Onj of the party dived into the water and discovered that the tank was lined with shelves, on which were a lumber of bags of coins.

PREDICTION MADE TEACHER CROP SHORT NEXT YEAR Visible Supply Inadequate to Meet Estimated Demand Salary Increases Urged. Washington, July 11. Public high schools will be short by 15,000 teachers when the fall term 'opens, according to estimates by A. O. 'eal of the bureau of ' education. The bureau recently conducted an exten sive inquiry among more than 7,000 high schools in the country. These schools now employ 65,857 teachers and will require 17,275 new teachers in the fall to provide for the normal increase, in enrollment and to take the places of those who are leaving the schools for other work. Mr. Xcal "considers that this propor tion fairly represents the general condition in high schools throughr out the country, and he estimates that a total of 25,978 places must be filled before the next school term begins. The visible supply at present does not approach that number by far. A canvass of colleges and universities to ascertain what number of gradu ates would take up teaching show that of these who will adopt this call 1,630 men and 4,742 women will choose high school teaching. On this basis it is estimated only 16,620 members of this year's gradu ates from higher institutions will teach in high schools. The differ ence, 15,358 places, must be filled from sources which are not now ap parent or that number of classes will be without instruction. The threatened shortage is twice as great as the total number of teachers in New England, and greater than the number ' in New York and Pennsylvania combined. School boards everywhere are be ing advised to strengthen their forces in every possible way, by raising salaries and improving con ditions as well as in other ways. Financial EbcNttoJjjrrk Sinus. I.'liirttgo Tribune-Omaha lie Leased Wire. New York, July 11. The turn in to the second half of the year has been accompanied by some cheering events for business and finance, al though many difficulties, long present, have not been lessened. The general credit situation remains in a state of strain and it is certain that throughout this summer, bankers will act with a single eye to the pre vention of a really acute position in the autumn. The fact that the loan market of all varieties of accommodation will be guided conservatively, speaks for avoidance of some tension in the crop moving period, and the hope is expressed in banking quarters that the taking of time by the forelock may avoid so extreme a burden up on credit as was feared a month. ago. Just how banking caution will be reflected in the security markets of July and August cannot be deter mined in advance. It Is Uken for granted thai the 6tock market will have to depend upon call money for the bulk of Its financing as far as margin demand are concerned. Time money continues extremely scarce and of high cost. Despite a quick ad vance of the call loan rate last Frlrlny from 7 to 10 per cent following thrf-3 days of easing quotations, the Impression prevailed as the week ended that monf would not be really tight during the nerM lew week. Many of the speculative cal culations which found vent in the week' rise of stocks were based on this thought. et It was evident In the quality of transactions that traders, or the main body of them at least, were not inclined to commit themselves heavily to a buy ing program. Fear Future Conditions. Knowledge that the underlying situa tion of credit had not been altured at all by the satisfactory completion of the mid-year settlement seemed to warn the speculaflve following of stocks that sur face conditions should not be entrust, d too far. Sentiment favoring a relatively easy money situation, was not sufficiently strong to lull the lurking idea that thero might be numerous occasion during the summer when a quick "run up" of tin call rate would be embarrassing to per sons carrying long lines of stocks. In short, the market following was mitdl committed to the constructive side of quotations, but disinclined to take risks which are comfortably taken when the setting fr a broadly rising market H us plain as it was a year ago. The business and industrial outlook is decidedly mixed, considering the major lines of production and distribution. Com modity prices, as a whole, declined in June, as compared with the May level, but the movement was highly irregular. Textiles, breadstuffs, live stock, hides and leather declined while coal, coke, building materials and chemicals ad vanced together with Important provisions, which play a vital part In-tha cost of llv Ing. To a degree recessions of activity In some directions are offset by a de mand In others; which tends to confuse the outlook. Thus, the evidence supplied by closing textile mills, tells of a depres sion In this field far more important than seasonable slackening would bring about, while at the same time the con sumption of articles used In construction work, steel, cement, lumber, etc., is over taxing the producer". Because of the ir regular Industrial front. It is no easier now than when the spring price cutting campaigns started to decide whether bus iness is in process of a protracted reac tion. Railroad Still Congested. A survey of current conditions, let alon-s their possible Influences upon the autumn xnd winter, would still require allowances iiy reason of persistent railroad conges tion. Pig iron production In June was at a rate of 5,000 tons per day In excess nf the May output, which indicates active operations of steel plant; but lack of adequate transportation faculties is caus ing a great amount or finished materini and iron as well, to be piled in mill yards until it can be moved. The resultant handicap upon . users of materials thud stored is obvious and makes room for be lief that Industry of- particular sorts would be much more active than it is If sup plies' ef needed goods could be obtained freely. Whether July reinvestment funds, de rived from interest and dividend payments, is the main factor In the market just now, the demand for Investments ha been sub stantially more active this month than last The Swiss government loan of $:!5, 000.000 and the offering of $60,000,000 Ar mour A Co.. bonds last week were quickly takn up and the success of the under takings foreshadows more In the near future. It is expected that the require ments under which railroads may obtain permission from th Interstate Commerce commission to float loans will shortly ba clarified, for several of the leading com panies have new borrowings under con sideration. PROGRESS OF THE CROPS. lU'eekly Crop Bulletin of the Agricultural Bureau of the Omaha) Chamber of Commerce.) July has so far made a favorable 1m Teuton on the crop prospect of the sea ion. Elaborate statistical records tabulated by students of crop production show that In a series of yeara the yield of corn var ies almost exactly In proportion to tho rainfall of tha month of July. Assuming that this may be true the precipitation for the first one-third of July encourages a hope for a bumper corn crop. It was noted at the closo of last week that much needed relief from threatened drouth ap peared to be in sight for the more Im portant part of the corn belt, though as late as Saturday, no indication was given that the excessive best was at tle vanishing point. f The; following dayu brought both abundance of rain and com fortable temperature to the greater pait of tut. corn bejfc ud Missouri were Be Patient) Study, Lady .Astor Advises Suffrage Workers Paris, July 11. "Woman suffrage can't be judged by the few elections that have been held within the last year," Lady Astor declared in a re cent interview here. "It will take a generation, at least, before women's co-operation in public affairs can be calculated. Until then women must educate themselves and work stead fastly and patiently toward their goal, which includes not only equal political rights but a better social body. "Reforms come slowly. Only women can really reconstruct the world. All women should develop the best within them, study fearess ly the various issues at stake and act sincerely for the good of man kind. '"I have always felt it was nat ural for women to take part in pub lic life. My political career does not seem extraordinary to me. When my husband was imthe House Commons I worked for the same things that he represented. "Women must not try to force the issue. In political life, they most work for whatever is best for the state. By their wisdom in dealing with vital problems they conquer ground for their own advancement: The two go hand in hand. The more educated woman is, the better wilt her influence be. Maintains Constant Vigil For Boy "Missing" in War London, July 11. A London mother has kept a three-year virgil for her soldier son. who was "re ported missing" in France in 1917. At the corner of four crossroads in Pimlico there is a window next to a junk store where the mother watches almost day and night. Dis believing an armistice notification of her boy's presumed death, she is convinced he will ' return. Her blinds are never drawn, and daily she keeps watch until sleep over comes her. French Cabinet Opposes Race Suicide by Example Paris, July 11. The impetus given recently to e national movement against race suicide is said to have been derived from the example set by members of the French cabinet. Five of the ministers have a total of 26 children between them. Com merce Minister Isaac leads with nine. Premier Millerand has four children; M. Francois Marshal, min ister of finance, has six; the health minister has five, and M. le Troquier, minister of public works, has three daughters. in the path of the heaviest rainfall the early part of the week. After the mid early part of the week. After th-? mlddle'of the week the Ohio Valley and lower lake re gion were areas of heaviest precipitation, the rainfall appearing to follow the heat wave that was notieably oppressive In the Missouri Valley up to July 4th, and which as usual progressed eastward. In Illinois, Kansas and Nebraska showers have been comparatively light, though the southeastern portion of Nebras ka and the Kaw Valley in Kansas got enough rain for immediate needs, in all districts corn has made fine progress and pitr.toes, truck crops, and hay have im proved. The second crop of alfalfa west of the Missouri River will be a light crop In most districts. The winter wheat harvest has made good progress and generally enough labor has been obtained to take proper careoi the grain. In some districts of -central Nebraska complaints are made of stem rust on wheat and in the western counties two or three destructive hall storms have occurred. Generally, however, the crop prospect Is not Impaired. The cooler weather Is most favorable to oats, and that crop, while at no time regarded with enthusiasm, Is likely to produce a fa., crop of high-quality grain. All parts of the spring wheat territory glvo favorable reports except parts ot Montana which suffers for grain and parts of Minnesota which suffers for rain. The Department of Agriculture's July lt estimate of the yield ot spring wheat, ro (leeting the enthusiasm of conditions sur rounding a crop in vegetation btage, anti cipate a crop 82,000,000 bushels In excess of Inst year's production and exceeded only In three years out of the past tweni. Tim misfortunes of a spring wheat crop !rcnerallyv do not develop prior to July 1st however. Let us hope that neither blaen rust.' scab, nor blight may attack the promising crop." But let us not gamble on a spring wheat crop In excess of 290.000.0nn bushels till the season progresses at lca'A another months Corn is weedy and pota toes are not doing well In those districts in which rainfall has been excessive terri tory limited mainly to Eastern South Da kota and Southern Minnesota and W'U conuin.

They could see Tom's shadow as he HOLDING A Adele Garrison's Revelations What Happened as They Were Ready to Start. I received no more demands from Dickey to help him find his things. In fact, he said only the most neces sary words 'to me during the last hours of preparation for the journey. But I caught his fur tive gaze upon me several times, and knew that my answer to his demand that Rita Brown share my drawing room had disturbed and puzzled him, as well as made him angry. As for me, I went about the last preparations for the journey with a heart of ice and my brain aflame. All my old distrust of Edith Fair fax, which I had thought effectually buried, which I knew was unjust, had1 suddenly leaped to life, vital and breathing. There was a burning sense of in justice within me also. I had wounded Maj. Grantland, refusing the drawing-room he had so thoughtfully secured for me, be cause of Dicky's dislike for him. This was my reward, I told myself sardonically, to have my wishes, my comfort, tossed aside by my hus band as of no importance whatever when weighed in the balance with that of the girl who I was sure still loved him. Dinner Is Delayed. Luckily, however, I had no time for reflection or meditation upon my fancied wrongs? J went from one thing to another, determined that there should be no hitch at the last moment. I appeared at the dinner upon which Katie had spent her best skill with the proud consciousness that everything of Junior's and mine was all ready, that I myself was dressed to the last hairjjin, and that all my belongings left'behind were in perfect order. The Durkees and the Fairfax girls had, of course, been invited to this last dinner. Equally of course, they were late fpr Leila was in that bea tific state which made her drop ev erything if Alfred summoned her for a walk or a talk.

Katie far more nervous than the cat who is supposed to be the symbol of feminine trcmu lousness fussed over her pet dishes and appealed to me until my own control felt like a rope that had been frayed almost in two. "Oh Missis Graham" she wailed upon my last trip to the kitchen in answer to her signalled frantic sum mons from the,' door, "dot dinner all be spoiled, and I feex heem so nice! And you have to go, nodings to cat. You get headache." "We'll eat the dinner, never fear, Katie," I soothed her. "In fact, you may serve us in five minutes if you wish.

HUSBAND New Phase of , of a Wife she picked up a dish, and realized that she, also, was near the breaking point, and hurried to the living room to greet the guests. "Maj.

"He came by a' little while ago, said he had to go in unexpectedly and couldn't wajt for the next train you know that man of his makes it with the car faster than the train any way and he'll meet us at the station.

"He is' always thoughtful," I re turned, purposelymaking my voice as enthusiastijf as possible. All my fear of arousing Dicky's jealous an ger against Maj. Grantland had van ished. I felt a wild, unreasoning de sire to "make him sit up and take notice" in some way, and even looked furtively at him when I had spoken. But he was not even looking at me. He Was talking to Alfred Durkee. There was a glance, however, which I intercepted, and which startled me. It came from the eyes of Edith Fair fax, and it held distinct disapproval, and a tinge of. the contempt I had once seen in her face when she had told nic I did not deserve my hus band's love.
