George Says.
Spa, July 18. The conference
here between the allied chiefs aJ
Gompers, has asked state organiza
tions to hold meetings simultaneous
ly August 7 to map out plans of
campaign.
In a letter sent to the state feder
ations, of labor, signed by blr. Gomp
ers, Frank Morrison and James
O'Connell, it is urged that this cam
paign be made "the greatest victory
for labor and justice in the political
history of our nation."
' "The national campaign commit
tee recently has mailed to you copies
of the legislative records on meas
ures of interest to labor of all mem
bers of the Sixty-sixth congress,
whose terms of onice expire on
March 4, 121," says the letter. "It
1 is of the utmost importance to the
interests of labor that the informa
tion contained in these records be
given the broadest publicity among
the workers of your state, to the
end that they will be enabled to
learn the attitude toward labor of
their legislators.
"In order that a definite program
may be mapped out to reach every
wage earner in your state, we sug
ges. that the executive committee of
your body be called into special
session on Saturday, August 7, at
which time these records shall be
toad and discussed and measures
r.dopted for 'establishing the closest
co-operation with this committee to
make the nonpartisan political cam
paign of the American Federation of
Labor a triumph for labor in your
state."
Another letter sent to secretaries
of all labor organizations suggests
the holding of conferences in each
congressional district. It is urged
that in this way conflicts in support
ing or opposing candidatees for con
gress may be avoided.

Varchoochee Is Held for Trial i

Fremont, Neb., July 18.-(Spec:al
,ponm 1Ttie little village ofiolcKcl-

;fosperous merchants, came in a

to testify in the case of Princess

onnd her over to distr.c court for ,
trial. Her .bond of fUpOO was
promptly given by Arthur Frahn
and J J. Dickey, Snyder bankers
both of whom have asked her aid
in sickness !
Witness after witness, young girls,
old men and women and men in the ,
nnme of life, took the stand to say i
that after doctors had failed the j
imple medicine and salves of War-
choochee had helped them. Among
these was Mrs. v Hans Schnoor ,
blind for seven years, who paid ,
Warchoochee $350 and believes her i
sight is being restored. Anottier of j
ne niKiu lusiitc ui iuc icaw oiuut
the Schnoor family on the stand
was Kuaoiph, wr.o naa paia me
princess $375. Warchoochee her
self said that she was born in Ja
maica of a Hindu mother and
Cherokee father and that at 4 years
old, in Cheyenne, Wyo., she had I
discovered her healing powers. She
traveled with Buffalo Bill's wild
west show as rider, dancer, for
tune teller and doctor.
"The Spirits tell me what is good
for people," she said. "I can neith- ,
er read nor write. I would aream
about it. Try to find the herbs I
see in my dreams. Try them on
myself first, and then give the med
icine to, them. The. only thing I
can do is wait for the spirits to help
me."
All of Snyder in the region where
she has reaped fees amounting to
$10,000 will tell stories of the help
from her treatment after doctors
and surgeons have failed. War
choochee's defense was that it is n6t
necessary for her to procure a phy
sician's license, since the remedies
she gives are only household reme
dies and her first reliance is the di
vine spirit.

San Francisco, July 18 A sharp
division of opinion as to whether
conditions at Angel Island immigra
tion station were as bad as one
member of the house immigratibn
committee painted them, and -the
views on assimilation expressed by
two American citizens of J apanese
parentage, who saw military service
overseas, were the center points of
interest in Saturdays Session of the
committee.
Several members of the c6mmlt-
tee objected vigorously to Repre
sentative Isaac Siegcl's asserticn
that the station was "a dirty hole"
and "the worst station in the coun
i trv."
When Mr. Siegel proposed that
the station be thrown open to news-
I paper men, Representative John
I LSaker, replied that his c-Ileague was
only seeking publicity.
"Well, you have been doing that
all the way through this "hearing
everyone know it, retorted Mr.
Although itired- from a'week of al

Twins' Resemblance
Makes Business
Very Uncertain
Detroit, Mish., July IK Walter
and Ludwig Arzol are twins and they
are said to look so much alike that
if one of them takes sick the other
feels like calling a doctor. They
can loan money and have their
debtors dispute as to which one ad
vanced the cash.
In Judge Theodore Richter's court
Walter and Ludwig Trought suit
against Paul and Apolonia Golom
bek for the recovery of various sums
which they said they had loaned the
two with whom they boarded. Wal
ter said he had loaned his landlady
$125 and some merchandise, but
Mrs. Golombck couldn't decide
whether she had borrowed from
Walter or Ludwig. Ludwig said he
had loaned Paul Golombek $269 at
one time and $14 at another, but
Paul couldn't remember whether he
had borrowed from Wralter or Lud
wig. The defendants argued that
these sums were paid them for
board, but the twins insisted that
they, had loaned the money.
After separating the twins and
learning which name belonged to
each of them, Judge Richter gave
Walter a judgment for $128 and
Ludwig a judgment for $269.

IFFRAGE HEN
PUZZLES PARK
COMMISSIONER
Fairmont Park Pheasant Emu
lates Omaha Fowl in Devel
oping Male Proclivities
Even Changes Ffiathers. i
Rivalry between.; Council Bluffs
and Omaha, nurtured for generations
in spite of mutual diplomacy, has
assumed a new form. A few weeks
ago Omaha papers contained a
.story of a hen .which refused to
produce eggs and gradually de
veloped all of the lordly proclivities
of the male head of the harem, in
cluding crowing, strutting and
fighftng. Everybody who goes into
Fairmount park carries Omaha pa
pers, and among the thousands scat
tered many have accumulated
around the pheasant roost, where
ring necks, Chinese and half a dozen
other varieties find happy homes.
A copy of the paper with the
hen-rooster story and picture of the
naughty bird, blew into the quar
ters, where a ring-necked hen
pheasant lives. The bird studied the
picture and heard the story dis-
rcussed. She brooded over the inci
dent for several days and then be
gan to take a suffrage attitude
toward her husband. He attempted
to punish her and she lost some
feathers. He also lost a few. For
the last week the hen has been
moulting, amd now she has come
out in a striking new suit, just ex
actly like her lordly master's with
every distinctive mark and feature
ot the male bird. She v has
abandoned all maternal instincts,
crows, struts and chases her for
mer mate around the. place.
lhe astonished male bird, can't
comprehend the situation. He
knows his old wife, but that does
not lessen the pang of her sharp
beak and the steely thrust of her
growing spurs. She .Jias licked him
many times. He is too manly to
fight back and meekly takes the
gan.
Park Commissioner Bob Hunt
ington is equally nonpulsed. "It
neats all the nark paradoxes, and
I'll give a bottle of paregoric to
any birdologist who will swear that
hen pheasant is not a cock," he de
clared yesterday. "Cock pheasants
fight to the death, but the hen
doesn't kill the old man, just beats
him up.
Wymore Boys Take Wild
Ride on Section Handcar
. Beatrice, Neb., July 18. (Special.)
Four boys from Wymore, who
evidently thought that they would
like to be highwaymen, were
brought here yesterday and turned
over to the authorities to be given a
hearing in juvenile court. Accord
ing to the officers, they broke into
the hardware tore of D. A. Lasher
at Wymore and stole several guns
and a supply of ammunition. They
later took a section motor car cm
the Burlington and started out. Aft
er they arrived a few miles in the
country they heard a freight train
approaching and pulled the motor
off the track, but were unable to get
it back on. The officers were called
and placed . the boys under arrest
and brought them to Beatrice. They
were paroled yesterday by. Judge

OFFICER OF. NEW
ENGLAND TROOPS
AGAIN SLIGHTED
General Edwards Ignored in
Awarding of Promotions in
Army Recalls Uproar.
By Universal Service.
Washington, July 18. Brig. Gen
Clarence R. Edwards, former com
mander of the famous 26th division,
composed of New England national
g'uard troops, again has been pasen
over in the awarding of promotions
in the army.
This was the outstanding feature
of comment in military circles when
official announcement was made of
appointments under the provisions
of the army reorganization act. The
appointments, made by President
Wilson, include seven major gen
erals, 20 brigadier generals, seven
chiefs of as many branches of the
army and five assistant chiefs.
The absence of Gen. Edwards'
name from the list of appointments
recalled the uproar created when he
was relieved from command of the
26th division in favor of Maj. Gen.
Harry C. Hale just before the 26th
went into the Argonne engament.
This division, which was the first
unit of the national guard troops to
arrive in France and the first na
tional guard troops to go into the fir
ing line, won great fame for itself
and its commanding officers. The
supplanting of Gen. Edwards
aroused the entire New England dis
trict. The effect of this treatment of
Gen EdwardsVwas seen at the ban
quet tendered to Gen. ' Pershing in
Boston last fall. The officers of the
26th division refused to attend on the
cround that their action was the ex
pression of their resentment ot jen
Pershing's action in removing Gen.
Edwards. The incident also was
given a thorough airing in the sen
ate and house, where Is e w bngland
senators and representatives de
nounced it.

signatures. .
"If trouble comes, as it often
does between husliand and wife
where money was the object of the
marriage, this woman could leave
my father high and dry, picked
clean as a bone," Howard Croker
declared.
The elder Croker tonight sain
that he ' doubted Howard had writ

"Howard was always a messen

even for eight holes, each winning
one and halving six. Then on the
ninth green Wolff failed to get his
approach putt nearer than five feet

touple of inches, was four up atthe
27th hole and had the match well
in hand.
The match ended on the 14th
green at which Evans wa tvin

able to putt a little he would have
made a closer match of it. but he

chancellor, and Dr. Simons.

have been an immense advantage
if Americans had participated in
the conferences, because, he add
ed, they would have brought to it
a viewpoint free from European
rivalries.
"Might not the European states
men find the Americans embar

in the settlement of all questions?'

presence of these two witnesses has
caused great excitement among de
fenclants and the bored expression
they have affected heretofore during.
the trial has given "way to one ot an-'
xiety.
Ole Hanson, who, as mayor, put
a terrific crimp in the activities of
the reds, bolshevists, I. W. W. and
other revolutionary elements who
were riding rough-shod over the Pa
cific northwest coast country, is
here with a trunk full of evidence
seized in Seattle raids.
"No wonder they fear us," s?id
Hanson, as attorneys for the defense
are pawing the air and expostulating '
in loud tones against this evidence.
"We can tell them a few things.
In fact, F think I have gone to the
heart of this bolshevist business.
Our records prove that boshevism
is the autocratic rule by the lowest,
least intelligent, least able class, '
who 'believe that by 'direct action'
and 'force' they can .terrorize our
people into turning over to them the
conduct, ownership and control of
everything."
The defendants are even mo:e
fearful of the testimony to be given
by Wilson than they are of the per
sonal knowedge and documents
held by Hanson. Wilson attended
all their inner circle meetings and
