De Valera Urges
Exhaustive Probe
Of Irish Problem
"We Have Nothing to Hide,
But the English Have Every
thing," Reply to Pro

Chleaffo Tribune-Omaha Be) Imm4 Wire.
'-.New York, Oct. 3 The Chicago
Tribune having asked President De
Valera his opinion of the plan of
The Nation to have a commission in
vestigate the real situation in Ire
land, he replied through his secre
tary as follows:
"la response to your inquiry, I am
instructed by the president to inform
you that he welcomes any investiga
tion which will reveal to the care
fully misinformed world the truth
about the atrocities in Ireland.
"The Irish have nothing to hide,
but the English everything. The
president fears that it will be diffi
cult for The Nation to institute au
effective inquiry.
House Is Raided.
"When Mrs. MacCurtaitt received
a cabled invitation to testify regard
ing the murder of her husband, her
house was immediately raided by
British forces to destroy the evi
dence in her possession, and she was
also shot at.
"The president does not for a mo
ment doubt the good faith of The
Nation or the humanitarian motives
and desires for peace which inspire
their enterprise, but he doubts the
ability of The Nation to secure from
the British whose navy controls the
seas, either safe conduct for Irish
witnesses or safeguards against re
prisals for their families.

The cordon of secrecy which the
British have drawn around their bar
barities in Ireland the British dare
not relax, lest the world realize with
what callous brutality these zealous
champions of liberty in Belgium
can improve on the methods em
ployed against thai country, giving
us not one, but many, Louvains in

Palmer Cancels

Attorney General Refuses to

Chleage Tribune-Omaha Be Leased Wire
Washington, Oca. 3. Attorney
General Palmer is sulking in his po
litical tent and has cancelled his
.'peaking engagements for Governor
Cox in the pres.dential campaign.
The attorney general's pique was
aroused when Governor Cox told a
rrowd of miners last week that he
(lid. not approve of everything the
Department of Justice had . done,
particularly with reference to its at
titude toward labor. Governor Cox
said the same thing about Postmast-
f?nral Rnrletrm's administra
tion and there are well defined ru
mors that Mr. Burleson is also de
termined upon a policy of inaction
for the remainder of the national
campaign. i "
Attorney General Palmer is not
saying anything about his conceJIa
tion of speaking dates, but it is
known that he let Governor Cox
know what he thought about the
slighting remarks made by the dem
ocratic presidential nominee toward
his administration. This was one of
the reasons for the visit of E.: H.
Moore, Cox's chief adviser, to Wash
ington this week. Mr. Moore made
repeated efforts to induce Mr. Pal
mer to reconsider hi withdrawal
from campaign activities, without
avail. Mr. Moore sought the aid of
the White House in this effort, but it
did no good.

gressional candidates.

More Truth
By JAMES J.
TO A
Your chattering, times without number,
When hunting for worms on the lawn,
Aroused me from glorious slumber
An hour or two before dawn.
Yet not a hard thought did I harbor,
No bitter revenge did I seek,
I knew you were guarding my arbor
With that little beak.
The beetles that came to devour
The tender young shoots in the spring,
When the vines were beginning to flower,
Fled off at the whirr of your wing.
No aphis the petals dared wither,
You put their whole army to rout,
And busily yonder and hither
You fluttered about.
The slugs that appeared in the autumn,
The round purpling berries to munch,
Had hardly arrived when you caught 'em
And joyfully ate 'em for lunch.
Your vigilance, keen and unblinking,
I always delighted to see,
(Poor idiot!) blissfully thinking
It all was for me.
But now, you perfidious sinner.
My grapes have been plucked to provide
Not a dainty dessert for my dinner,
But a meal for your little inside. .
Don't ask me for mercy or pardon,
You rascally larcenous elf;
Your labor in guarding my garden
Was all for yourself!

HOLDING A
Adele Garrison's
Revelations
What Lillian's Message Disclosed
, to Madge.
The message I found at the tele
phone office puzzled me greatly
I had expected Lillian simply to
wire a brief acknowledgment of the
receipt of my code telegram, for I
had no idea that she could send me
the information I desire"! in less than
24 hours, if, indeed, she had any suc
cess at all in discovering anything
derogatory to Rita Brown. '
But the yellow sheet which Mrs.
Mollis handed me contained a
lengthy message which I saw at a
Klance was written in the code, Uut
Lillian had worded it so cleverly that
it seemed to be not only an assur
ance that she, would attend to the
things concerning which I had
asked, but also minute requests con
cerning Cedar Crest, saying that a
relative who was ill dcyired to come
down there. If I had not rec
ognized the words of the code I
should have been deceived by the
message, and I saw that little Mrs.
Hollis had no suspicion that it was
other than it appeared to be. i
Madge's Precautions.
I wasted no more time,' but with
the message tucked into my bag I
started for home. I wanted to de
cipher the telegram without delay,
for from its length I hoped that in
srme miraculous manner Lillian had
been able to put her hands directly
upon the information I wished.
With the memory of the openness
of my own "sun parlor." I resolved
to borrow my father's room again,
and with an wnexpented streak of
good luck managed to get to it with-,
cut my mother-in-law's suspecting
that I was in the house. I had
slipped the code book, paper
and
pencils into my bag before starting
out, so had no reason for going to
mv own room hrst.
My knock brought no response,
so I gently pushed the door open
and found the room empty. Evi
dently my father had gone for one
of the solitary rambles he so loves,
and I imagined that my mothcr-m-taw
was taking the nap in which she
generally indulges just before lunch
eon, with Junior ensconced in his
cribat her side. I locked the door,
and hurriedly spreading on a table
the message, the code book and
some sheets of blank paper, I
grasped a pencil and went directly
to work. '
It was a long and arduous task,
for in order to make the message in
which the code was used natural,
Allen Drake had devised a system
wherebv the word one wanted was
hidden "in a maze of many others.
What the Code Revealed.
But finally I had it spread before
me, and at the words I read a flash
of exultation shot through me.
"Rita Brown's father, a respect
able, hard-working second - hand
clothes dealer," Lillian's message be
gan. "Rita poses as well-born dam
sel, intyisely ashamed of origin.
Parents believe her dead. Father's
name Liehnowsky. Threaten her ex
posure facts. Insist she return New
York immediately. Dangerous bride's
peace of mind. Letter follows.
Love. Lillian."
The last four words were not in
code, and I felt my heart warm to
the familiar phraseology, which I
had received so many times at the
end of a telegram from the friend
who never fails me. I paid a silent
tribute also, there in that little room,
to the forethought which must long
ago have seen the potential danger
in Rita Brown, and had cleverly pro
vided for her thwarting whenever it
should become necessary.
And yet so thoroughly does Lil
lian play the game .that she had
never lisped a syllable of the knowl
edge she held. Indeed, she would
never have told it even to me in the
girl's own actions had not made it
necessary for her to do so.
But I bad no tim.e to socad in

dwelling upon Lillian's perfections,
pleasurable as that task was. I
jenew by my match that the lunch
eon hour was near, and that my
mother-in-law was no doubt awake.
In some way I must manage, after
the meal was over, to get into com
munication with Rita Brown, and
summon her to the combat, the vic
torious weapons of which were al
ready in my hand. But where that
combat was to be staged I had not
the remotest idea.
I couldn't bring her to the cot
tage. With the risk of Leila's see
ing her, I couldn't take her to the
home of Mrs. Lukens, where I had
found a temporary refuge for Al
fred's hysterical little fiancee. I
meant to bring the two girls face to
face a little later the details of that
meeting were already grimly planned
in my mind but it must necessarily
wait until I had seen, and had van
quished Rita Brown.
And then into my mental camera
flashed the image of Betty Kane. I
felt instinctively that in some way
she could help me. I would have
staked all my small possessions that
whether she could aid me or not she
would never mentiton to anyone any
thing ooncerning my request. There
are women who are meant to be
fsminine confessors custodians of
the secrets of all their friends and
acquaintances women who, despite
the gibe of feminine weakness in this
respect, would no more repeat a con
fidence than they would commit mur
der. Betty Kane, I was sure, was
one of these Women.
I slipped my code book and my
translated message into tny bag
again, unlocked the door, and with
a preliminary peek into the hall sped
down it to my own room. From it
I issued sedately a few moments
later, and went in search of my
mother-in-law as if I had just re
turned from my walk.

I'M THE GUY

I borrowed it to. save the expense

me out of my graft.
You should feel pleased to think
that I returned it at all. If I had not
broken it I probably would have

And even after I had finished

CHAPTER I.
Paddy's Little Joke.
The gristmill where Farmer Green
had his wheat ground into flour
stood near a mill-pond.
Now, Farmer Green always sup
posed that the pond was there so
that the miller would have water to
turn his mill. But Paddy Muskrat
thought that the pond had been put
there in order to give him and his
neighbors a pleasant place in which
to live.
. His house was dug out of the bank
But it was a game he liked
of the bond. But you might have
walked right over it without know
ing it was there. Paddy reached it
through a long tunnel, the door of
which was hidden by the water. And
there he lived with his wife. They
liked their home.. And so long as
Paddy, did as his wife wanted him
to do, they were quite happy and
never had a quarrel.
Sometimes Paddy Muskrat staved
away from home more than Mrs.
Paddy liked. You see, he was very
fond of swimming. In fact, that was
why he was called Paddy, because
he had begun to paddle in the water
when he was so young that he was
hardly more than a little. -ound ball.
To be sure, Mrs. Paddy was a fine
swimmer herself. But she used to
say that her husband ought to have
"Delight Finds Her Heart"
By RUTH LOGAN.
When Delight Fleming met Mr.
Jones she was almost certain that
he was a Brookfield Jones. He
wore his clothes so well and carried
hi- stick with such an undeniable
air of affluence that it was hard for
her to believe that he was plain Jim
Jones. He avoided speaking of his
family and Delight knew he was un
accustomed to luxury because of the
light in his eyes when he say her
own home.
Mr. Fleming Was an architect and
into the house he built for his wife
an-' charming daughter he put all
of his heart and most of his sav
ings. "What a beautiful place," re
marked Mr. Jones, after he had been
presented to Mr. and Mrs. Fleming.
"You are. Fleming, the architect,
aren't, you?" to Delight's father.
"Glad you like the house," an
swered Mr. Fleming.
"You're a mighty lucky girl," con
tinued Jim, turning to scan the ap
pointments of the room. Delight
was conscious of the pleasing inte
rior of the house. The rugs were
orientals not the best, perhaps, but
good enough to appear twice as
good to eyes accustomed to Ax
minsters tand Wiltons.
Mr. Jones seemed very much im
pressed with the house and also
with Delight. He called three
nights each week for several weeks.
If he found the girl a trifle egotis
tical about her father's house he
concealed it.
"Where do you live?" she asked,
afte. the acquaintance had developed
U the point where Mr. Jones called
her by her first name.
"I'm afraid- to tell you, Delight. I
know how you feel about nice living.
I'm only boarding."
Delight was conscious of a little
tremor of disappointment. Mr.
Jones had not worn the same suit
twice and she had begun to fancy
that perhaps he was one of the aris
tocratic Jones in disguise. But a
Brookfield Jones would not have

and round m a circle and trying
catch his tail
Mrs. Paddy used to tell him that
he was too old for such foolishness
But it was a game he liked. And
he never grew tired of it.
Even in winter, when the water
was freezing cold, Paddy went for
a swim almost every day. In one
way he enjoyed his winter more than
his summer swims, for he was quite
saJc from enemies when the ice cov
ered the pond. In fact, unless Peter
Mink or one of his relations came
prowling about beneath the ice, there
was nothing to trouble Paddy and
his wife at that season..
In summer Paddy Muskrat had
many enemies. Johnnie Green was
by no means the least of these. He
was continually setting traps to
catch Paddy, who was the biggest of
a!l the Muskrat family that lived in
Pleasant Valley.
Now, Johnnie Green had succeed
ed in catching a good many of
Paddy's distant cousins. If you could
lave seen the side of Fanner Green's
woodshed, half covered by the skins
Johnnie Green had nailed there, you
would understand why Paddy was
usually pretty careful where he
stepped.
And when you hear that Mr. Crow
told him one day that Johnnie had
saved a place on the side of the
woodshed especially for him, you
can see why Paddy Muskrat was in
no hurry to occupy it.
Luckily for him, he never came
to such a sad end. Though when
lu vexed Mrs. Paddy she said, some
times, that if he should get caught
perhaps it would teach him not to
stay away from home so much.
And then Paddy Muskrat always
told her that being nailed to Farmer
Green's woodshed ought to teach
him to stay away all the time.
Of course, that was iust a little
joke of his. But Mrs. Paddy never
cared for it. ,

Even James Oliver across the way,
working for $200 a month, brought
larger boxes of candv on the eve
ning when he was privileged to call
on Delight.
"But that doesn't mean I'll always
hoard. I want a home. Delight, and
I'm working awfully hard to r-
ahead. How much does a house like
fcthis cost?"
"Ten thousand dollars," answered
the girl, proudly.
"How long have you had it?"
"Three years."
"Your father. and mother worked
and saved for more than IS years to
build it, I suppose. I hope it won't
be that long until ! can-offer a girl
a nice home like this, but things are
quite high right now. It takes about

Delight was at a loss for words.
She had become accustomed to the
nice things of life. There was truth
in what he said about her mother
and father working together all
those years but girls did not do that
sort of thing now-a-days. James
Oliver had often told her his father
would build them a house just as
fine as the one in which she was liv

that even that would satisfy her.

Wife of Dr. Hyde
Asks Divorce on
i Cruelty Grounds
Mother Wants Children Taken
From Husband Who Was
Tried Three Times on
y Charge of Murder.
Kansas Citv. Mo.. Oct. 3. Chare-
uuica uicu un a tuargc ui murucr in
connection with the death of Mrs.
Hyde's uncle, Thomas H. Swope,
millionaire philanthropist, yesterday
filed suit for divorce from Dr. Hyde.
In her petition Mrs. Hyde asks
for the custody of a son, 6 years
old and a daughter 4. The peti
tion asserts that Dr. Hyde is not
financially able to care for the chil
dren and is not a fit person to have
charge of them. Mrs. Hyde, the
petition states, is financially able to
care for the children.
After stating that the marriage
took place June 21, 190S, and that
Mrs. Hyde and her husband lived
together until August 1, 1920, the
petition asserts:
"The defendant disregarded the
duties of a husband and has been
guilty of repeated and constint acts
of cruelty and violence toward the
plaintiff, and has applied opprobri
ous epithets to her and to her friends
in the presence of their children. He
has, by studied words and conduct,
tried to estrange her children and
her friends from her and has ex
hibited a sullen, morose and cruel
disposition which has caused the
plaintiff to be in constant fear for
the welfare and lives of herself and
her children."
Dr. B. Clark Hyde was first tried
on a charge of murder in 1910, fol
lowing the death of Col. Swope.
Dr. Hyde had attended Col. Swope
during his last illness, and at the
trial scientists testified he had been
poisoned by administering disease
germs.
The jury brought in a verdict of
guilty, but the supreme court of Mis
souri reversed the decision and re
manded the case for re-trial. At the
second triaL'a juror ran away, caus
ing a mistrial, and the third hearing
resulted in a hung jury.
Finally the ' case was dismissed.
Throughout . his legal difficulties
Mrs. Hyde stood by her husband, al
though her own mother was supply
ing tunas to enable the state to hire
special prosecutors to press the case
against Dr. Hyde.

and Jim and I can work that long,
too."
James reached out his hand to Mr.
Jones.
"Isn't she a corking little girl? I
hope you have a successful future
ahead of you," and he winked one
cy-- jovially. "Thanks for the raise,"
he added as he rose and started for
the door.
"James, what's it all about?" the
bewildered girl cried.
"Ask Mr. James Brookfield
Jcnes," he laughed, as he hurried
from the room. "He's spent four
years learning the business and now
his father has retired and put every
thing into his hands. I hope you'll
have a nice home at the end of IS
years."
His laughter echoed through the
room where Delight stood in the
embrace of Jim Jones.

Borah Revolts on
League Question
Other Report Is That Senator
Quit Tour Because of
Financial Reasons.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha flee leased Win).
Washington, Oct. 3. Friends ot
Ssnator William E. Borah, repub
lican irreconcilable, who has declined
to speak further in the campaign for
Senator Harding because the latter
will not pledge himself to scrap the
league of nations, insisted today that
Senator Borah had notified Senator
Johnson of California of his course,
notwithstanding reports from Calif
ornia that Senator Johnson knew
nothing about Borah's revolt.
One of Senator Borah's associates
said that he knew that the Idaho tr
lcconcilable had telegraphed to Sen
ator Johnson explaining that he
could not speak for Harding any
more because he would not take a
decisive pledge against a league of
nations.
Senator Borah was still silent on
his withdrawal from the presiderf
tial speakers' list, but was expecting
to hear something from ' Senator
Johnson.
"I guess the animajs have beer .i
bit stirred up," one of the senator's
friends asserted when meeting Borah
this morning.
The Idaho senator merely smiled.
He leaves tomorrow for Connecticut
to begin his speaking campaign for
Senator Brandegec. The next week
he will speak for Senator Moses, an
other irreconcilablcs, in New Hamp
shire. Marion, O., Oct. 2. The latest -ca-son
here for the action of . Senator
Borah in cancelling speaking dates
for Senator Harding's candidacy. is
that a financial trouble lies behind
it. Senator Borah is a poor man. He
is supposed to be speaking under
the auspices and at the direction of
the national committee, and as such
a "hired speaker, is entitled to all his
expenses, at least. The story is that
some one on the financial side bljn
dered and forgot to send Senator
Borah expense money. The 'delay ex
asperated the Idaho senator and he
sent his ultimatum.
Senator Harding is said to be
distressed, at the situation, but has
offered no comment. It is expected
that the financial matter will be
Stiaightened out at once.
