New Attitude of Labor Is One
Of Most Hopeful Signs
Men Now Consent to Turn

C'lilrairo Tribune-Omaha Bra leased Wire.
Chicago, Aug. 27. Time is ap
proaching wheu that patient burden
bearer, Mr. Ultimate Consumer, can
get out the hewgag and regale him
self ,with a little joyful music, for
prices are tumbling.
If people starve to death this
winter it will not be the fault of the
farmer, for reports show greater
crops of better quality than were
.produced last season. Commission
men and food experts generally
agree that this vast surplus must
result in lower prices. These have
alreadv set in. and are being felt all
Vaiong the line.
Perhaps the most noticeable de
clines at present arc in various
classes of food, clothing and shoes.

flop and is due for a further decline,
and Experts say it willjfall to 10 or
11 cents a pound before the end is
.reached. Huge potato crops in Min
nesota and other states noted for
l' production of this highly important
JV jood product assures much lower
umme.
Labor Attitude Hopeful.
Perhaps the most hopeful of all
signs is the attitude of labor. There
has been no reduction in the price
of labor or its hours, but the' men
are speeding tip at a most gratify
ing rate. Brick layers, who have
taken note of many men walking
the streets seeking employment, are
now laying 30 to 50 per cent more
brick a day. Carpenters, who are
paid $1.50 an hour, now give some
attention to their work, instead of
devoting their short hours to filing
saws and consulting thair base ball
pool cards. ,
The same change goes for other
branches of labor, excepting, always,
political and municipal employes.
The chief fly in the ointment is
the hoggish attitude , of the land
lords. IItcv are still gouging tenants
to the limit and propose to give
them a stilt heavier dose when
October leases, are made out. The
increased rentals will cat up all
that may be saved on tower priced
food products. Tenants are organ
izing for mutual protection and the
legislature will be asked to pass an
especial law to curb the greedy rent
hogs.
Make Big Profits.
As serving to show some of the
. declines, watermelons afford a good
example. An ordinary melon that
can be bought on the street for 50
cents, is cut 20 ways in the res-
yJlaurants and hotels and the charge
' i 15 cents for a slice thus netting
.aa . i . . An a- ,
mine restaurant ow 10 i yci v-cm.
frofit. The restaurant proprietor
wTio gets $3 for a. melon cut into
2Q slices, buys them under 50 cents
each in quantities.
Shoes are markedly lower. A
community sale conducted here for
several weeks has broken the shoe
v markrf wide open. Bankers refused
the clothing manufacturers and
(Scalers any further money. for sky
rocketing purposes and they have
lcen forced to unload their stocks at
reasonable prices. Suits that were
c80 two months ago may bd had for
SJO or under. Shoes that sold for
$14 to $18 a month ago. are now of
iered at $6.
While -the public is assured of
lower prices for some food pro
ducts, it will have U pay more for
fuel. Wholesale and retail coal deal
ers announced increases in prices
ranging from 53 cents to ?10 a ton,
to meet the increased freight rates.
Southern Illinois coal will cost the
consumer 53 ceents a ton more, while
eastern bituminous is increased $1.05
and anthracite $1.90 a ton. Indiana
coal will cost 53 to 57 rents a ton
more. The wage increase just grant-
cd Illinois and Indiana min;rs may
be also tacked on the price, to con
sumers. ,. .

TROTZKY IS NOW
IN FULL CHARGE
OF RED FORCES
General Tuchatschewski, "So
viet Napoleon," Relieved
Due to His Failure to
Capture Warsaw.
Bt The 'Associated Freaa. I
Warsaw, Aug. 27. General Tu
chatschewski,' known us the "soviet
Napoleon," has been relieved of his
post as commander-in-chief of the
bolshevik army on the Polish front
because of his failure to take War
saw, according to information given
to the press here.
Leon Trotzky, bolshevik minister,
of war and marine, has personally
taken command of the army, it is re
ported by bolsheviki officers who
have been taken prisoners.
General Is Nobleman.
General Tuchatschewski has had
a remarkable career in the "Russian
armv. He is of noble birth, and at
the outbreak of the world war was
captured by the Germans. Later lie
escaped and resumed his place in
the army, rising to the rank of
lieutenant. When the soviet gov
ernment was established he was pro
moted and rose to high command,
being credited with the defeat of Ad
miral Kolchak in Siberia and Gener
al Denikine in southern Russia. He
is only 28 years old.
. Russian soviet troops who took re
fuge in Prussia are, fighting the
Poles along the frontier. An official
statement issued just before last
midnight says that two soviet bat
teries, hauled into Prussia by the re
treating Russians, fired upon the
Poles, and that the soviet forces are
also using machine guns against the
Poles on this sector. Polish troops
who have reached the frontier have
been cautioned by their commanders
not to fire upon "German territory.
Lull in Fighting.
While there has been a lull in the
fighting oil various sectors, the Poles
advanced at several places Thurs
day and have reached the region of
Kobrin, approximately 28 'miles
northeast of Brest-LitoVsk, where
the Poles, in a surprise attack, took
1,100 prisoners, four guns and the
entire staff of the 57th soviet di
vision, v
In continuation of the long drawn
out campaign to capture Leniberg,
the soviet forces have reached Zaa
worze, just east of Lemberg, where
the Poles have repulsed repeated at
tacks. Peace Meet May End.
The Warsaw' press is becoming
pessimistic regarding the Minsk
peace negotiations. The newspa
pers, with the exception of the so
cialist press, express the belief that
the moment is propitious to "liqui
date bolshevism."
In some political circles there are
indications of an increasing feeling
that the negotiations may come to
nothing, although there have been
official announcements to the con
trary. The 'militarists are advancing a
continuance of the war td compel
the Soviets to seek terms, and the
change in the Danzig situation has
had a tendency to encourage the
militarist elements. .
The national democrats are in
sisting on convocation of thc Diet
and as a result the speaker of that
body has called a meeting of the
party leaders for the purpose of de
ciding the date for the assembling
of the Diet. The democrats take
the stand that it is impossible to
conclude peace without the author
ity of the Diet.

OMAHA, - SATURDAY,
MONEY MUST
BE RETURNED
BY "HEALER::
Judgment of $300 Granted
In Favor of John Meier,
Whose Wife, Warhootchee
Areyano, Failed to Cure.
"PRINCESS" SAYS SHE
INTENDS TO APPEAL
Testifies That She Has Ad
ministered Herbs for Ailing
Mankind Since Early Youth
In Jamaica.
Judge R. W. Patrick rendered a
judgment of $300 in favor of John
Meier, 1502 Olin avenue, against
Warhootchee Areyano, alleged In
dian princess and healer, in munic
ipal court yesterday.
Warhootchee announced that she
will appeal to the district court be
cause she feelsUiat the decision of
the municipal court is not just. She
also vouchsafed thev information
that she will engage new counsel.
The testimony disclosed that last
April Warhootchee agreed to cure
Mrs. Meier of rheumatism within a
period of two months for a consider
ation of $700, of which Mr. Meier
paid $300 in advance.
Overshadowing the hearing was
the appearance of Wrarhootchee in
brilliant red habiliments. On her
head was hat with a rakish, up
turned front. Her coat of turkey
red. was fringed after the fashion of
a buckskin garment. She wore red
bifurcated nether garments, red
hose and slippers to match. Around
her neck she wore several strands of
beads and she was otherwise deco
rated with gewgaws and ornaments.
Arrives In State.
Princess Wrarhootche arrived at
the city hall in state, with a liveried
chauffer, in one of her several mo
tor cars. Evidently she expected
that a carpeted entrance would have
been provided at the city hall.
Warhootche testified that she was
born in Jamaica and- that when she
was 5 years old she dreamed of
herbs and that since she was 14
years old she has administered herbs
and roots to cure the ills of man.
Immaterial Says Court.
"Where did you get your medi
cines?" aslted Attorney Hollister,
counsel for the princess. .
"I object to this question," inter
posed Harland L. Mossnian, for the
plaintiff.
"I don't believe that it is ma
terial whether she obtained her
herbs in Council Bluffs or Okla
homa," replied the court.
The evidence showed that Mrs.
Meier grew worse after taking the
herbs prescribed by Warhootchee
and it was stated by a witness that
the princess told the Meiers that if
she called personally at the home of
a patient the fee would be $50 per
call.
Fraud is Alleged.
"This woman is a quack and this
alleged contract between her and the
Meiers was conceived and promoted
in fraud," said Attorney Mossman
in his argument. "This woman im
poses on the credulity of the unsus
pecting." Attorney Hollister insisted that
client was administering "house
hold remedies" as provided in the
iU-'Mtes.
During her testimony Warhoot
chee asserted that she did not guar
antee any cure. She admitted that
she had n'o medical knowledge
gained from schools; that she had
never seen the inside of a school and
could neither read nor write.
Makes Cross for Name.
"I make a cross when I write my
name," the princess said.
Witnesses for the Meiers testified
that Warhootchee promised that
within two months after beginning
the treatment Mrs. Meier would be
able to go out and visit all of her
friends and Warhootchee gave a
demonstration of the physical alert
ness which would come to Mrs.
Meier. After two' months Mrs.
Meier was required to have her
friends call on her if she saw. them,
testimony showed.
Warhootchee has a similar case
pending at Fremont.

ASK ADDITIONAL
INCREASE IN U. S,

sition Shown.
Washington, Aug. 27. Testimony
in support of its application for an
additional increase of 15 -per cent
in express rates to cover increased
wages was presented today by repre
sentatives of the American Railway
Express company to examiners of
the Interstate Commerce commis
sion. The hearing developed vir
tually no opposition of shippers.
The examiners later stated that
the case would be submitted with
out delay to the commission, al
though no decision is expected be
fore September 1, when the increase
of 12 1-2 per cent already allowed
the express company will become ef
fective. ,
L. K. Gvvyn. chairman of the
wages and working conditions com
mittee, and Charles A. Lutz, comp
troller of the express company, ap
peared 'in support of the applica
tion, while H. T. Moore, traffic man
ager for the Atlanta, Ga.. freight
bureau, urged limitation of the ad
vance to 10 per cent.
Mr. Gwyn said that instead of
the increased wages as awarded by
the railroad labor board, totalling
$30,000,000, as estimated by the
board, thev would reach $42,296,340.
b Immediate relief is necessary, Mr.
Lutz asserted, the express com
pany for the first six months of
1920 he said, had a deficit of $21,097.
132, which did not include increased
pay retroactive to May 1, provided
in the wage board's award. He esti
mated the Mick pay at $3,000,000
monthly for both May and June.
Mr. Moore said tii.it because of
increased business and to improved
morale among employes due to the
wage award, a 10 per cent increase
would be adequate.

MILDRED REFUSES
$125,000 OFFERED
IN DIVORCE CASE
Tender by Chaplin's Attorneys
Not Sufficient to Soothe
Feelings of Wife.
Chicago Tribuiie-Onialut Bee Leased Wire.
Los Angeles, Aug. 27.0ne hun
dred and twenty-five thousand dol
lars, it became known here today, is
not sufficient to appease the feelings
ofMildred Harris Chaplin. The of
fer was scorned by her attorneys,
who are said to have instructtd the
film actress to avoid meeting her
husband or anyone representing him.
The $125,000 which Mrs. Chaplin is
said to have refused would repre
sent, according to attorneys, a final
settlement of community property.
As an inducement to accept, it is
said. Chaplin offered to make no at
tempt to evade service of divorce
papers.
The film comedian is now reporte
gi
on his way to New Ytork. in the hope
of meeting his wife and adjusting
their difficulties.
In her divorce complaint Mrs.
Chaplin stated the community prop
erty was valued at $1,000,000. Soon
after the filing of the complaint Mrs.
Chaplin had issued a restraining or
der against her husband disposing of
any such property.
Chaplin is said to have instructed
his representatives to close the Chap
lin studio for a year. This would
indicate he does not intend to accu
mulate any more property, half of
which would go to his wife.
In the meantime, until Chaplin can
be served with the papers, his wife's
divorce suit is at a standstill.

ber of Detroit Society.
In addition, attorneys for her hus
band handed her in open court, a
check for $50,000 in lieu of alimony
and another check for $15,000, in
cluding fees for her solicitor. In
addition the court was given assur
ance that so long as she lives, she
is to receive the income from a $200,
000 fund, which is to be paid an
nually or quarterly as the court and
Miss Acuff decide. This income ap
proximates $10,000 annually. At her
death the $200,000 fund is to be re
stored to the estate of her husband.
She said he had repeatedly beaten,

treated her.

DOCKMEN STRIKE
TO GAIN FREEDOM
OF CORK MAYOR
Plan to Extend Tieup to Every
Port in U. S. in Attempt
To Force Release of
MacSweney.
Br The Associated Freaa.
New York, Aug. 27. Elated by
their tie-up of virtually every British
ship in New York, the 2,000 long
shoremen who suddenly quit work
today expect to spread their walk
out to every port in tht United
States, in the hope of forcing Great
Britain to release from jail Terence
MacSweney, lord mayor of Cork,
- and permit Archbishop Mannix to
iana on irisn son. ine women pick
ets who inspired the unexpected
walkout, and the marine firemen,
water tenders and oilers who joined
Ihem feel the same way about it.
They are not going back to work
on British ships, they said, until
Great Britain meets their wishes.
Irish sympathizers working on
American, French and Belgian
steamships also quit work during
the whirlwind campaign the strikers
waged along the North river.
Women Pickets Active.
A little band of women pickets
inspired tlie strike during the noon
lunch hour. They stationed them
selves outside the White Star line
pier to await the arrival of the Bal
tic, from which Archbishop Mannix
was removed by a British naval ves
sel. The archbishop was not permitted
to land in Ireland, but was taken to
England, and longshoremen said
they resented this.
When the Baltic docked, the wom
en held up a placard reading:
"When Mannix goes to Ireland,
let the Baltic leave New York," and
also displayed other signs.
During the lunch hour the long
shoremen, who had started work on
the Baltic, decided not to go back,
and, accompanied by the women
pickets, they went into the holds of
the other near-by liners, Olympic,
Canopic and Celtic, where they
quickly induced hundreds of other
longshoremen to join their walkout.
Officials All At Sea.
Steamship officials were unable to
state what they will do to main
tain their schedules. Nor were long
shoremen union leaders who de
clared the strike unauthorized,
though stating' that most of their
men were in favor of "Irish free
dom." The walkout came so sud
denly and defections -from working
crews varied so that neither long
shoremen chiefs nor steamship of
ficials could determine the number
of men who quit.
-The White Star liner Olympic will
sail on scheduled time for South
hampton tomorrow, officials said to
night. At the Cunard line office
there was confidence that the
Aquaitana also would leave tomor
row for the same port. The Cunard
line has five steamships affected by
the walkout and the I. M. M. com
pany's line has'.four. these two com
panies being the heaviest sufferers.
' Severat British ships are scheduled
to arrive 'tomorrow and early next
week, but longshoremen declare
they will not unload them, except
for mail, until MacSweney is freed
and Archbishop Mannix is allowed
to go to Ireland.

COX FELL FOR
PHONY LIST
HAYS SAYS
Republican Chief Declares
Democratic Candidate's "Ex
pose" Does Not Carry One
lota of Truth.
ASSERTS GOVERNOR
"DREAMS IN MILLIONS"
Says Nominees Will Have
Chance in Chicago to Prove
The Insult to Thousands of
American Citizens.
It.r The Associated Press.
New York, Aug. 27. Will 11.
Hays, chairman of the republican
national committee, replying to the
speech of Governor Cox in Pitts- ;
burgh last night, in which the demo
cratic presidential nominee sought
to prove that republicans were con
spring to buy the 1 presidency, de
clared that Mr. Cox had such "m-f
timate knowledge of the wasting o
millions in aircraft production in 1m
state" during the war, that ht
"dreamed in millions."
After studying Mr. Cox's speech,
Mr. Hays issued the following state
ment at republican headquarters:
to prove, as he has failed to prove
and will fail to prove, his charges.
This is simply because the charges
arc false.
Gradually Scales Amount.
"He says millions have been put
into the republican national com
mittee by sinister influence to cor
rupt the electorate. He first is re
ported to have said $100,000,000.
Then Secretary Roosevelt said $30.
000,000. Then Candidate Cox said
$15,000,000, while now Candidate
Cox says $8,000,000.
"He attempts to prove this by
quoting from the official bulletin .of
the ways and means committee of
the republican national committee,
a pamphlet published every few days,
and sent broadcast over the country
to party members and to news
papers, all to instill interest among
the workers, and from an alleged
quota sheet which he claims indi
cates the amounts to be raised in
certain cities, which he does not even
charge was adopted or any operation
had thereunder.
Retort Is Sarcastic.
"Candidate Cox, himself a million
aire, has had such intimate know
ledge of the wasting of millions in
aircraft production in his state and
Secretary Roosevelt has had such
an intimate knowledge of the burn
ing of billions by the administration
of which he has been an important
part, that these men dream in mil
lions. "They will have an opportunity in
Chicago to prove this insult 1o the
thousands of good citizen all over
the country which are counted in
the republican party.
"Incidentally, they will have a
chance next week to indicate the
source of their own money, both, of
their national committee and other
agencies outside of their national
conriittee raising money to try to
aid in Candidate Cox's election."
Upbam Denies It
Chicago, Aug. . 27. Governor
James M. Cox's schedule of repub
lican campaign fond quotas in 51
principal cities is a "phony list which
I never heard of before," Fred W.
Upham, republican national treas
urer, declared today on his return
from New York. r
"Somebody must have played al
joke on the governor," Mr. Upham
declared.
The republican national commit-
tee has never apportioned any quo
tas to cities, Mr. Upham, said. The
only quotas assigned, he added, were
given to states, the money to be
used for both state and national
campaign purposes. Each state
committee then apportioned its quota
