HOOTING IN
RAWL IS KEPT
GET 4 DAYS
Man Wounded in Soft Drink
Place Brawl Fails to Ad
vise Police of
Affair.
Ole Martinson, 3021 U street, was
shot Friday night while in the soft
drink establishment of L. A. Gray,
4153 Q street.
The shooting was kept secret un
til yesterday, when authorities at St.
Joseph hospital admitted Martinson
was a patient there and had under
gone an operation yesterday in
which a .45-calibcr bullet was re
moved from his groin.
Martinson's condition is not con
sidered serious, the hospital author
ities said, but no one is allowed to
see him under orders of Dr. J. J.
Humpal, who treated him,
Proprietor Admits Brawl.
L. A. Gray at first denied there
was any shooting in the brawl which
he admitted took place in his es
tablishment, but later told the whole
story.
Martinson came in Friday night,
he said, and accosted two women
who were sitting at a table.
l hey were Grace Black. Thirty-
third and R streets, who works as
a waitress in a restaurant at Thirty-
third and Q streets, and Margaret
Spencer, 6513 South Thirty-first
Street.
Martinson began abusing them,
striking the Spencer woman, knock-
ng her to the floor and then attack
ing the other woman.
Gray Remonstrates.
Gray, who has but one leg and
suffers parital paralysis of the left
hand, declared he tried to remon
strate with Martinson, who had al
ways acted the friend toward him,
but that his words seemed to anger
him the more.
Martinson came toward him and
began to beat him, Gray declared,
whereupon he drew his revolver and
"blazed away," as he put it.
Gray refused to believe the shoot
ing was serious and declared the
wound could not be severe.
Police Take No Action.
Captain Briggs of the South Side
police declined to order Gray's ar
rest when informed of the shooting.
"If what Gray says is true, and
Martinson does not die of his wound,
he got just what was coming to him
for picking on two women and a
defenseless cripple," he declared.
"I will not order Gray's arrest
until a formal complaint is made to
headquarters here."

MOTHER AND BABE
DRIVEN FROM HOME
Iowa Woman With Infant,
Destitute in Chicago, Meets
Good Samaritan.
Clilofigo Tribune-Omaha Be Leased Wire.
Chicago, July 19. She was a bit
of a woman. A night's long vigil on
a bench in Washington park with a
4-week-old baby girl, had made
her seem old. Emaciated, hungry
in J pitifully weak, the baby was
scarcely able to cry.
The wisp of a mother had a dime,
a bag of stale buns that a hungry
cockroach would have disdained,
mid a bottle of sour milk. The col
lar of a faded blue coat was pulled
tightly around her shoulders.
Thomas E. Hurley, a stock brok
er, found the desolate mother and
babe early in the morning and their
pitiful plight aroused his humanita
rian instincts. He took them to his
home and there they will remain un
til mother and child are well and
some other home is opened to them.
Three days ago the mother her
tame is Elizabeth Coy was living
i Lyons, la., with a man to whom
she was married two years ago in
Michigan City. Wednesday he
bought a', ticket for Chicago, gave
her 45 cents and put her and her
baby aboard a train.
Campaign for Posts
Started by American'
Legion Is Successful
Indianapolis, Ind., July 19. The
campaign for new posts started re
cently by the American Legion is
progressing rapidly, according to an
announcement made from national
headquartersat Indianapolis. The
latese report, submitted for the sec
ond week in July, showed that 21
new posts and 12 new units of the
Women's Auxiliary units throughout
the legion.
Kansas, with three new posts, and
one auxiliary unit, showed the great
est gain. The state now has 295
posts and 43 units of the auxiliary.
New York continued to lead other
departments, having 932 posts. In
diana gained one post and one auxil
iary unit during the week and now
has 299 posts and 42 units.
The American Legion's member
ship at the last counting totaled
2.500.000 with posts in all parts of
the United States and in "Alaska,
Canada, Hawaii, Panama, the Philip
pine Islands, Mexico, Argentine
Republic, England, China, Cuba,
France, Poland and Santo Domingo.
Constable Refuses to Serve
Ouster Writ on Poor Widow
Constable Zach Ellis declined to
serve a writ of ouster when he
called at the home of Mrs. Mary
Broderick, 2708 G street, South Side,
yesterday morning 'and learned that
the woman was a widow with four
small children and dependent on $25
per month widows' pension and what
she could earn at odd jobs.
This refusal to serve the mandate
of the municipal court lays the con
stable liable to a fine of $50 and re
moval from office, but he is confi
dent that in this case the law of
justice and reason supersedes the let
ter of man-made laws. Mrs. Brod
erick lives in two rooms. She stated
that she had been .unable to find an
other place within' her means.

your haste is no concern of mine.
You may get peeved and finally

that's your loss, not mine. I don't

Besides I don't know you from

FITCH FEMINS ' J
Irishh Twins and the Landlord.
Mr. McQueen was a good farmer,
but at the time he lived in Ireland
farmers could not own their farms.
The land was all owned by rich
landlords, who did not do any work
themselves. These landlords very
often lived away in England or
France, and did not know much
about how the poor people lived at
home, or how hard they had to
work to get the money for the rent
of their farms.
Sometimes, when they did know,
they didn't care. What they want
ed was all the money they could
get, so they could live in fine houses
and wear beautiful clothes, and go
where they pleased, without doing
any work.
When the landlords were away,
they had agents to collect the rents
for them. The business of these
agents was to get all the money
they could, and they made life very
hard for the farmers.
. Sometimes when the farmers
couldn't pay all the rent, the agent

COMMON SENSE
Are You Captain of Yourself?
By J. J. MUNDY.
"Envy is a consumer and a non
producer." Did you ever think of it this way?
You have spent a lot of thinking
hours in envious mood because some
man is able to earn more and live
better than you.
And what good have those
thoughts done you?
Somebody has led you to think
that fate decides destiny and you
rail at fate for not giving you a gilt
edged butter tub, or words to that
effect.
You think that fate allows men to
manipualte your affairs to your dis
advantage, and that is where you are
roundly mistaken.
Such thoughts have helped make
you rebellious against every success
ful man or woman and every institu
tion which speaks prosperity , leaves
a scar on your heart because you
feel that you are a pawn, a leaf, a
mere chip on the ocean of fate.
Don't waste time in such senseless
manner. y
You are the captain of your own
ship.
No one could make you move a
finger or a hair if your own brain
would turn them out of their houses.
This was called "evicting" them.
The farm that Mr. McQueen lived
on, as well as the village and all the
country roundabout, was owned by
the Earl of -Elsmore, who lived
most of the year in great style in
England. The agent who collected
rents was Mr. Conroy. Nobody
liked Mr. Conroy very much, but
everybody was afraid of him, be
cause he could do so much to injure
them.
So one morning when Mr. Mc
Quecen came back very early from
his potato field, he was not glad to
see Mr. Conroy's horse standing
near his door, and Mr. Conroy him
self, leaning on the farmyard fence,
looking at the fowls.
"How are you, McQueen?" said
Mr. Conroy, when Mr. McQueen
came up.
"Well enough, Mr. Conroy," said
Mr. McQueen.
"And you're doing well with the
farm, too, it seems," said Mr. Con
roy. "Those are good-looking fowls
you have, and the pig is fine and
fat. How many cows have you
now?"
"Two, and a heifer," said Mr. Mc
Queen. "You drained that field over by
the bog this year, didn't you, and
have it planted to turnips?" went on
Mr. Conroy. "I'm glad to see you
so prosperous, McQueen. Of course,
now, the farm is worth more than
it was when you first took it, and so
you'll not be surprised that I'm
raising the rent on you."
"If the farm is worth more, 'tis
my work that made it so," said Mr.
McQueen, "and I shouldn't be pun
ished for that. The house is none
too good at all, and the place is
not worth more. Last year was the-
drought and all manner of bad luck,
and next year may be no better.
Truly, Mr. Conroy, if you press me,
I don't know how I can scrape more
together than I'm paying now."

IV. How can "a pleasure-loving
girl of sixteen best be led to take
an interest in serious things?
If she is doing satisfactory work
at school, and if she attends church
regularly, do not be anxious about
her; it is natural for a girl of six

WHY?
Can a Flame Be Blown Out?
Copyright, 1920, by the Wheeler Syndi
cate. Inc.)
The burning of any substance
is due to that heat which turns
the substance itself or a consid
erable part of it into gases
which mingle with the oxygen
in the air and produces fire. In
any but the slightest and most in
flammable of substances this pro
cess takes an appreciable time,
as will be noted by anyone who
tries to light a furnace or even
a candle in a hurry. The flame
from the match must be held
against the wick of the candle
until the wax begins to melt and
change into gas or, in the case
of a fire in the grate or the
furnace, kindling wood or its
equivalent must be used to pro
duce the necessary preliminary
heat.
Once lighted, the flame will
continue to burn until the com
bustible portion of the substance
is consumed unless there is a
break in the process of making
the gases which mingle with the
oxygen. In blowing upon a
small flame, therefore, we force
the gases away from the lighted
portion and, unless the latter is
hot enough to rekindle the flame
of itself, the fire is extinguished.
The wax'of a lighted candle or
the gas of a lighted gas jet is hot
only in the immediate vicinity of
the flame, so either of these may
be easily blown out, while a
burning log or a coal of fire is
well heated throughout and us
ually hursts flame a few mo
ments after it has been extin
guished by a gust of wind.

CAPTAIN BURTON
WILL BE AT HELM
IN TODAY'S RACE
Sir Thomas Lipton Will Give
His Old Pilot One More
Chahnce to Win From
Resolute.
Sandy Hook, N. J., July 19.
Capt. Wm. P. Burton will be at the
helm of Shamrock IV when she
races again tomorrow against the
American defender Resolute.
This was the decision reached to
night by Sir Thomas Lipton and his
yachting advisers after a day spent
in conference over the handling of
the challenger in the first two
matches, the first of which resulted in
victory for the Irish sloop after her
rival had been withdrawn because
of an accident, and the second of
which was called off because Reso
lute after out-distancing Shamrock
had been unable to finish within the
six hour limit.
"Captain Burton will be at the
wheel tomorrow, I understand" said
Sir Thomas.
"After that I cannot say and, of
course, I will not talk about it."
Asks Another Chance.
Gossip aboard Sir Thomas' steam
yacht Victoria had it that Captain
Burton had asked for another
chance but the Irish baron would
not discuss this phase.
With seamanship counting so
much in a contest such as the Am
erica's cup race, the question of who
would handle Shamrock transcended
ail other talk.
Yatching experts have been severe
ly criticising- Captain Burton's work
and during Saturday's race comment
aboard the Victoria was strongly . in
favor of Captain Charles Frances
Adams, II.
Resolute 'still has three' victories' to
win if she is successfully to defend
the cup, whereas Shamrock needs
but two.
Regatta rules call on alternate
racing days for a, windward and lee
ward course of 15 miles to a leg and
a triangular course with legs of 10
miles, but as Saturday's race has to
be run again, tomorrow's contest
also will be over a triangular course.
Preparing to Build Challenger.
Indications today were that,
should Shamrock IV lift the Ameri
ca's cup, Sir Thomas Lipton will
not go long unchallenged.
Friends of William Gardner, who
designed Vanite, defeated by Res
olute for the right to defend the cup,
quoted him as saying he had been
commissioned to begin work im
mediately on an American challeng
er, if Resolute should be defeated.
Mr. Gardner would neither deny
nor confirm this.
Former Circus Clown,

Chicago, 111., July 19. A former
circus clown and veteran of several
battles overseas, two married
couples, two sisters and a Japanese

today from the Salvation army train
ing college here.
Each of the graduates was com
missioned a probationary lieutenant.
After a year's, practical experience
and a regular correspondence course,
they will become full fledged lieuten

with the army of occupation, and
later was a Salvation army envoy
overseas.

Chicago Judge Frees
906 Persons From
. Matrimonial Yoke
Chlcsjo Tribune-Omahe. Bee teased Wire.
Chicago, July 19 Judge Frank
Johnston, jr., believes he has es
tablished a record in the granting
of divorce decrees in the circuit
court here. The record bodes
ill for the i stability of the Amer
ican home and affords a sad com
mentary upon the temperament of
people who rush into matrimony
?.nd immediately begin struggling
to get out.
Judge Johnston has been hear
ing divorces for two weeks and
Saturday he signed his 453d de
cree. Many racy stories, tales of. wild
matrimonial adventure, of cruelty
and neglect, of the lures of vamp
ish women and the failings and
weaknesses of half-portion men
were to be found in the records of
these 453 "cases, which turned
loose 906 persons to try it all over
again or forever dodge the matri
monial noose.
COUNTRY FROM
DEAD TO BLACK
SEA NOW AT WAR
Turks and Arabs Engaged With
British, French and Greek
Forces at Almost Count
less Places.
Constantinople, July 19. The pre
diction of disinterested statesmen,
that the proposed peace treaty with
Turkey apportioning the choicest
parts of the Turkish empire among
the various European powers wquld
Balkanize the entire' Levant, ieem
ingly has been realized. War ex
ists today from the Black Sea to the
Dead Sea, the Turks and Arabs be
ing engaged in fighting with the
British, French and Greeks in almost
countless places.
Palestine, Syria, Sylicia, Anatolia
and Thrace are in religious ferment.
The Mohammedans are massacre
ing or deporting Greeks and Armen
ians. The Christians are retaliating
wherever they are strong enough
to do so. .
The Russian bolsheviki are tak
ing a hand through their contact
in the Caucasus with the Tartars,
connecting the Asiatic struggle with
their battle front from the Baltic
to the Black sea and stirring the
Moslem world to greater resistance
by promising additional contact
with soviet Russ;a through Ruma
nia and Bulgaria. The bolsheviki
declare they - will subjugate these
latter countries as soon as they
have attended to Poland. They plan
in this way to thwart possible dom
ination of Turkey by Great Britain
through support of Grecian terri
torial aspirations.
Hatreds of centuries are being
displayed in their most hideous
form. Religious and race preju
dices ana interna' battles for com
mercial advantages in territory and
for fuel oil appear in the swirl of
which Constantinople is the cen
ter. It is said Russians here hope for
absolute control of Constantinople
in the event of Poland's defeat.
In high official quarters here it
is said that Great Britain and
Greece stand alone with regard to
the Turkish treaty. The Italians
openly disavow the treaty, while
the French acquiesce in it grum
blingly. "Modern" Woman Dread

O'Connell when he addressed the

more concerned about what she
wants than what she is, ready to
run in the wake of her additional be
trayers. Officers Deny Reports

Occupation of Ljda After
Heavy Fighting Announced
Warsaw, July. 19. Occupation of
Lida (50 miles south of Vilna) by
the bolsheviki after heavy fighting
i reported in a communique issued
by the war office today. In south
etn Polesia the bolsheviki drove out
Polish riiountaincers and occupied
the village of Dabrowica. -. : ,
Strong bolshevik attacks, adds the
commmunique, have been repulsed
around Husiatyn and Arzomanic
and in the region of Dubno. The
bolsheviki are reported to he re
grouping for a drive on Kovel
(about 75 miles southeast of BreM
Litovsk.) Mosquitoes Drop Lifeless
After Biting This Man
Ridgefield Park, N. J., July 19.
Mosquitoes are dodging Charles F.
Thompson, , former county clerk,
who conducts a drug store in this
town, and therein lies a tale.
Every mosquito which bites
Thompson is poisoned and drops
dead. Thompson attributes this fa
tality to the Jersey pest serum in
jections acquired in army service.
A stampede of Jerseyites to army
headquarters is expected should
Thompson's theory prove correct.
Springs feature new fasteners for
automobile license plates to prevent
their loss and the annoyance cf
loose bolts rattling. '
