United
Rev. Robert E. JeiSkinson,
preacher-promoter of tbe
Oil Shale coninnnv and or
ganizer of the Young Men's Busi
ness association, was to effect huf?
profits from oil produced from 6,000
acres of shale laffd on which he ob
tained an option for $200, is hcyne
out in a statement made to Detcc-
t live Charles 'Pipkin, head of Tip
kin's Detective Agency.
Outstanding among the preacher's
financial escapades involving unpaid
notes and automobiles, was his get-rich-quick
plan of producing a high
test gasoline by the mixture of
, kerosene with water,
i "Now if the boys will only give
me a' chance, I can show them that
I can effect that process" his state
ment declares.
But the boys have 'all decamped.
The Young Men's Business asso
ciation at 114-1 Id North Twenty
fifth street has practically been dis
solved. House is Deserted.
The mansion where, during the
past five months; Rev. Jenkinson
held sway over from 30 to 100
young men who lived there for $65
a month each and a promise of a
, "bonus" to be determined by the
profits of the, shale company, is
empty. ' 1
Arthur Jenkinson, brother of the
preacher, is in charge of the place.
"Robert is out, of the proposition
all together," he said today. "His
past is wiped out as far as I am
concerned. . Though he stated he
would start anew the Y. M. B, A.,
will not have anything to do with
him or his finances."
Arthur Jenkinson declared ' fie
would , tonvert the place into 5
boarding and rooming house for
students, i '
Rev, Jenkinson still is In the city.
Apparently, his arrest in Denver
two weeks ago on, the specific charge
of passing a 6purious check, and the
investigation into his business af
fairs in Omaha, has not affected him.
"Wife Stands By Him.
His wife, formerly Miss Martha
Petersen, and her father, 'W. C
Petersen, 4712 North Fortieth
street, are staunchly standing behind
Jenkinson.
How Rev. Jenkinson was to have
controlling interest of the United
Oil Shale company and the history
of the organization is brought out in
his statement
"I came to Omaha five months ago
with practically nothing," it reads.
"I conceived the organization of the
shale company when I learned I
could obtain an option on 6,000 acres
of land in Colorado for $200. I was
to pay the rest, between $30,000 and
$40,000, within 180 days. My board
ing house scheme was to help me
make the payment. A profit of $40
a month on each of 100 men at the
house meant $4,000 a month. I fig
ured I could double the number of
;oomera and even get an extension
of my option."
Sure Thing, He Says.
"Then the capitalization of the
company would come: 15 1-3 per

dated checks don't worry me any
more. I'll make them good (
Business Men Help Him.
Rev. Jenkinson declined to give
the names of the business men in
Omaha who assisted him financially
in the organization.
"Plenty of big business men here
helped me. and are willing to stick
by me," the statement reads.
Whether Jenkinson expects to re
turn to the ministry or not, he did
not state. ,
Caruso Climbed to Fame and
Fortune From Humble Start
The life-story of Enrico Caruso,
e world's greatest tenor, who will
.sing here Tuesday, Uctooer it, oy
special arrangement with the Metro
politan Opera company of New
York, is at once romantic and in
spiring in the extreme. There is no
artist living that has arrived at such
heights of artistic and financial suc
cess from such an unpromising and
almost penniless beginning. '
Caruso was born in Naples m
1874. His father was a mechanic;
the tenor himself worked for some
years at his father's trade for the
equivalent of about 40 cents a day,
and he is said to have been an in
dustrious apprentice. "Until I was
IS." Caruso related, "I was in doubt
ac to 'whether I had a tenor or a
baritone voice. I started to sing in
Italian churches when I was 10
vears old. At 18 I began taking
lessons, but I left my first teacher
very soon because he could not tell
me anything about the quality of.
my voice.. Another teacher found
that my voice was too thin, so thin,
in fact, that my classmates called it
a glass voice, perhaps because it
broke too easily." ,

Hughes to Campaign.
Chicago, Oct. 2 Republican na
tional headquarters announced that
Charles Evans Hughes wilt make a
series of speeches for the republican
ticket the latter part of this month
Th itiuer"-v will be announced
later. ' l
One of the most interesting con
ventions of the year to be held in
Omaha and an event of wide im
portance is the 44th annual conven
tion of the American Humane as
sociation, which will bring to Oma
ha the best known humanitarians
flji'd social workers in the United
.States and the sessions will be re
plete with papers and discussions -relating
to many new and vital
problems. "-"
In addition to the formal papers
and addresses, there will be general
discussions and interchange of
views at round-table gatherings,
where all subjects of personal in
terest to delegates and communities
will be presented by the workers.
Among those taking a prominent
part in the discussions will be Leo
pold L. Wilder, managing editor of
the National Humane Rview, pub
lished at Albany, N. Y. Mr. Wilder,
who for many years was one of the
editors of- the Springfield Republi
can of Springfield, Mass., is a man
of keen intellect, and as field secre
tary of the American Humane as
sociation has had a splendid oppor
tunity to observe all phases of hu
mane work throughout the country.
Of great importance will be the
matters relating to child protection
which will be considered, and which
probably will lead later to important
legislation of benefit to , children.
Among the topics will be social
hygiene, probation, law enforcement
in behalf of children, the preserva
tion of the home, probation, illegiti
macy, children's shelters and the
duty of. the state toward the little
one.
Mahy problems for the benefit of
animal protection will also be ,Iis
cused, among them evils of trapping,
range stock conditions, traffic regu
lations, stable care, animal shelters,
dog pounds, bird protection, moving
picture cruelty, slaughterhouse abuse,
every day neglect of animals, hu
mane killing and animal ambulances.
Harding Favors
An Industrial
Policy for U. S.
"One for All and All for One,"
Is Motto He Seeks to Have
American Adopt, He
' Says In Speech.
West Jefferson, O., Oct. 2. Advo
cating an agricultural and industrial
policy to co-ordinate American re
sources for the common good, Sen
ator Harding declared in a speech
at a republican rally near here to
day that "one for all and all for
one" must be the motto of indi
vidual effort if the nation is to
achieve its full potentialities.
"I want to see American life so
knit together," he said, "and every
American so appreciative of the fact
that the welfare of his fellow is his
own welfare, that we will go for
ward to weave a great and humane
pattern of united Americanism."
Aid for Farmers.
"It is impossible to pull one of the
threads of. that great fabric, without
starting the unraveling of the pros
perity of all of us," he added.
Making a particular appeal for
betterment of the condition - of the
farmer, the nominee asserted that
agricultural production really was of
greater interest to those who live
in cities than to the farmers them
selves. As a part of the same com
munity of interest, he said, trans
facilit.es must be stabi
a rehabilitated railway
system supplemented by inland va- (
terwaydevelopment and by com
mercial use of motor trucks to carry
freight. 1
Favors Co-Operative Market.
The senator reiterated his belief
that farmers should be given the
right' of co-operative marketing
should be encouraged through the
federal farm loan system to own
the farms they live on, should be
assured stable transportation facili
tics and stable labor supply, and
should be given protection against
unfair competition from abroad. He
also advocated a better system of
rural education and a higher stand
ard of farm social welfare, and de
clared that profiteering "must be
squeezed out."
Discussing in detail the problem
of rural education, Mr.. Harding
took occasion to speak 3 word for
the education of adults in current
events, and asserted that such a
movement would constitute "the,
true bulwark against extreme radi
calism." "Bue nowhere, I think," 'he said,
'is there more cause fpr alarm than
in the fact that the annual school
term of the rural school in the
United . States only averages 137
days a year. We must . have no
bureaucracy of the federal govern
ment in education, but we owe it
to the childhood of the nation to
place at its disposal the utmost in
educational facilities."
Twelve-Year-Old Girl
Assaulted on Way to School
Viola, Wis., Oct. 2. Ruth Bark
ley, 12, daughter of Dayton Barkley,
farmer, was assaulted by an .un
known man while on her way to
school. She was dragged from the
road and clubbed. A posse with

man. .
The girl's skull is fractured and
she is not expected to live.

Blood-Iron Phosphate
For Weak, Thin Folks
Weak, thin, nervous people almost in
variably owe their rnnriifinn tn loU
phosphate in the nerves and lack of Iron'
in the blood. One of the surest, quick-
mi mo aaiesi ways in which to make up
the deficiency is to take with each meal
a five-grain tablet of digestible phosphate
and iron known among druggists here ns
Blood-Iron Phosphate; because it supplies
iron to the blood as well as phosphate to
the nervous system. People who have
tried it say that one five-grain tablet
taken with each meal quickly restores de
picted nervous onergy, enriches the blood,
increases strength, vitality and endurance,
and those who are too thin usually put
on pounds of solid stay-there flc3h in a
short time. Inasmuch as Sherman ft
McConnell and all other druggists are au
thorised to sell Blood-Iron Phosphate un
der a guarantee of satisfaction or money
back, every thin, weak, nervous . or
anemic man or woman should give it a
trial without delay.
Important Blood-Iron Phosphate is
sold only in original packages, containing
enough for three weeks' treatment, at
$1.50 .'per package only SO cents a week.
