the girl's father "is concealing some

"He refused to tell me where his

said. 'And he said that when we
found her. he'd help prosecute her.
He wants her sent to the Insane

to Des Moines, Omaha, Kansas City
ai?d Oklahoma City, will be followed

In long talks with Will H. Hays,

Harry M. Daugherty, member of the
executive campaign ' committee, the

litical outlook and' considered many
details of campaign management.
One of the subjects discussed was
the eastern trip to be undertaken
about October 20.
The only eastern date so far defi
nitely announced is -October 21, at
Buffalo It was indicated there was
a possibility that . tne, fandiG3te

perfect satisfaction with the situa
tion, reiterating their previous pre
dictions that one of the largest ma
jorities in thVnation's history would
be recorded for the republican
ticket. . Mr. Hays declared that dem
ocrats were preparing to concentrate
on the league issue because they had
failed to make headway on any
other, and that President Wilson had
assumed active leadership ot his
party tor the final month ot the cam
paign. . . ' i
Ihe chairman asserted tne willing
ness ot the republican organization
to face that situation and Senator
Harding revealed that in his speech
at Des Moines, on Tuesday, he in
tended to deal further with tne
league issue. It was indicated that
he might, in restating his position,
make reply to some of the arguments
used by Mr. W ilson, in tne letter
made public Sunday. ,
It also was made known tnat

cline by- those who protested against
the custom at the hearing before the
, Federal Trade , commission. More
; man 200 spokesmen for business in
terests were present to advise with
trie commission in formulating a
policy.
The statement that prices would
have gone down soon after the armi
slice in mary lines had the price
guarantee practice been unknown in
commerce was brought out m air
swer to ques ions by Chairman Mur
dock, who asked for opinions on that
phase. Without exception, opponents
cf the system declared their belief
had been confirmed by breaks in
commodities where the practice was
net employed. They cited the sugar
and silk markets'as typical.
J. A. Goldsmith, representing the
Silk Association of America, said the
guarantee could be construed in no
other light than as a means of main
taining "a generally high level of
prices and mitigating against any re
duction which would have followed
natural operation of the law of sup
ply and demand."
Silk Prices Decline.
Silk prices, he said, had declined
which would have been impossible
50 per cent in the last six months,
had the wholesalers been guaranteed
against loss by the manufacturers.
"I would say further," he contni-
f.ed, "that the guarantee against de
cline not only tnds to hold up
prices, but means that plants will be
shut and industry stagnated in order
that the guarantee manufacturer will
not have to dig in his pocket and
repay the wholesaler or ather pur
chasers. The plants are shut down
and the demand, remains, so prices
stay high."
"What about holding up artificial
prices, like war prices, and would
they have been reduced except for
the price guaranteed?" Mr. Murdock
inquired.
"Unhesitatingly I would say they
would have fallen long ago," Mr.
Goldsmith replied. "J would not at
tempt to say to what extent the
guarantee has maintained the prices,
but it certainly has heldv them a
much longer time than had the old
law of supply anfl demand been per
mitted to operate." -
. To Hear Other Side.
Only two speakers defended the
practice; but their side--the ques
tion will be heard fully tomorrow.
R. U. Deleienha. New York, reore-
' ser.ting. the National Preservers and
.bruit Producers association, voiced
approval of the custom, saying its
benefits more than offset any ill
effects depicted by opponents.
L. F. Boffey of the National As
sociation of Purchasing Agents, held
that no legimate attack could be
made on the guarantee system on
ethical grounds as the law estab
lished the right of a citizen to em
play trade methods of any kind so
long as they did not tend to mono
poly or discrimination.
That the-practice did tend ,to'
monoply and descrimination was asJ
setted by G. D. Mcllvain of thei
lin Plate Manufacturers associa
tion. He orgued that the guarantee
given by the "big' manufacturers
could not be met in most cases by
"I.ttle producers, who were com
pelled either to sell out or close up
"practically bankdupt."
Julian Armstrong of the bureau of
related industriejs charged that the
guarantee custom "encouraging
speculation caused overstocking,
stifled competition and inveriably
leads to rebating."

Leflang Tells of
Struggle to Get
Letter From Wife
Man Suing for Divorce Tes
tifies That Woman Set
Detectives on His Trail

A ' struggle between Arthur Le
flang and his wife for possession of
a letter from another woman to Mr.

accusations and I finally started to

the bath room. I followed and se
cured the letter and destroyed it."
Mr. Leflang was on the witness
stand all day yesterday. The wom
an whom Mr. Leflang took automo
bile riding in Los Angeles, "Mar

Leflang said that usually others were
present in the automobile with them.
He said . he met "Martha" first in
Omaha.
Among the' things he testified his
wife has done to make married life
unpleasant were these:
Called Him "Yellpw."
She told him that spiritualists had

a year longer. She called him "yel

trail, ' sometimes half a dozen at
once. She demanded $200,000 for
agreeing to a divorce.

arranged by his wife in Chicago.
His wife, during a trip east with
him, secured possession of a letter
addressed by a woman to him, but
refused to reveal its contents. On

Chicago Chief
Tests Police in
Liquor Expose
Federal Officers Trace Origin
Of Carload of Whisky Said
To Be Distributed Un
der Protection.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, Oct. 5. While Chief of
Police Garrity today started to test
every man in his department for
complicity in liquor violations, fed
pral . prohibition officers traced the
origin of the carload of whisky,
whose distribution Friday night,
under the alleged protection of po
licemen and government agents, was
exposed in the most sensational dis
closure of the "dry" era.
They traced the bootleggers back
to June just before the unsolved
murder of "Paddy the Bear" Ryan,
r.nd bring into the investigation
Harry Zoslowsky, owner of a saloon
at 1424 Solon place.
Early in June Zoslowsky obtained
federal permission to remove 1,200
cases of whisky, virtually the amount
involved in the Friday night distri
bution. A day or two later he re
ported it was stolen. Government
officers then became suspicious, so
suspicious that when Zoslowsky
came iback in a few weeks to get
another permit he was turned away.
From then on the federal inquiry
was continuous, and last week bared
the plot to sell $175,000 worth of
liquor in a South side railway yard
at night, while, it is alleged, several
city policemen guarded the bootleg
gers and then robbed the purchasers
they slipped away.
If the whisky dealt out Friday
night is that reported stolen by Zos
lowsky the authorities believe it will
clinch their theory of an organized
liquor ring so brazenly operated that
it was known as a "board .of trade"
and held out in the shadow of the
city hall.
In every quarter affected by the
disclosures of Friday night's happen
ings there was stirring activity to
day. Police and federal officers be
gan to clear their own houses of aids
alleged to have "s'.ood in" with the
ring and to chase down the boot
leggers. '

Field to the limit and numbered
not loss than 24,000.
The score was 3 to 1, but the two
runs by which the Indians triumphed
were sort of fluky and did not mean
anything in determining the relative.
strength of the rival teams. I hey
looked to .be evenly matched and a
stiff wind blowing cross lots gavo
the Indians the break that settled
the game.
Boss Robinson followed the dope
by starting Rube Marquard against
Cleveland, and Boss Speaker did his
best to cross the southpaw by in
serting three substitutes who bat
ripht handed, into the Indian line
up. Before the battle was over Rob- .
inson used three pitchers and a flock
of pinch hitters, while Speaker
wound up with his regular team in
the field.
First Score in Second.
The play which decided the game
occurred in the second inning, fol
lowing a complacent first round for
both sides. Burns popped a little
fly .hich looked like a cinch for
Kilduff. The gale from Gowanus
bay blew it over toward first with
Pete in full cry after it. He could
not get under it. Too late to judge
it, Konetchky tried to take the fall.
It fell safe, two or three yards from
first base and just back of the base
line. Burns was wise to the situa
tion and kept on running toward
second. Konetchky picked up the
ball and fired it in the genera! di
rection of second base, but there was
nobody covering. Kilduff was chas
ing the fly and. Olson was asleep,
The ball traveled to the left field
stands and before Wheat could re
cover it, Burns completed the cir
cuit. It was not a Babe Ruth swat,
but it counted. 1
Rube retired Gardner, then passed
Wood and a wind-blown single by
Sewell, followed by a sterling two
bagger by O'Neill, scored anothet
run in that round and those two re
turned the verdict. ' i
Outside of that inning the twe
teams-broke evens - Each made five,
safe hits and the only error was
tabbed against Konetchky because
Olson failetl to coverj second. COne
of the Brooklyn's swjts was due to
the wind because Wamby misjudged
a low fly Jjy Olson in the fojirth,
but it cut no figure ii. the result.
Pinch Hitters Used.
Boss Robinson did not need, to ust
three pitchers, because Marquard
was going at top speed when he was
tnken out for a pinch hitter in the
si.xth, and Mamaux stood the Indians
on their heads hr the two rounds
he pitched before he, too, gave way
to a pinch hitter, who delivered til
the eighth. That put it up to Ca
dore to work in the last round and
he retired three men easily. As fast
as his substitutes came to bat against
t.ght-handed pitchers, Sptaker sent
n his regulars and wound up the
game with his real team.
Coveleskie worked the full route
and was accorded perfect , support.
He probably would have shut out
the Robins if it had been necessary.
Ihe lone tally recorded for the home
team in the seventh was due to the
fact that the Indians did not plav
close in to cut it off at the plate. The
ron which Cleveland scored off Mar
quard in the fourth was distinctly
an earned tally, for it was made by
two solid drives for two bases each
one by Joe Wood and the other b'
Steve O'Neill.
Defense Strongest.
The combat indicated that both
teams are stronger defensively than
they are on the offense. v Robinson
used three hurlers without in any
way weakening his pitching staff.
Speaker went through with one slab
man. Neither team hit the ball
enough to worry the adherents of the
other club. It was not a battle be
tween two champion teams as the
baseball world has come to know
champions. Instead, it was a con
troversy between two second-rate
teams whom Dame Fortune assigned
to the ultimate base ball honors of
1920, and she probably will decide
which one shall wear the purple toga
inscribed "World's Champions."
Defensive plays of high-class were
frequent. Griffith made the most
difficult play when he backed up
against the right- field wall and
speared with one hand, a long drive
by .Speaker in the fifth. There was
nobody on at the time, but the play
was a corker. Speaker retaliated by
stealing a line drive hit from
Krueger's bat at the start of the
eighth. He had to make a shoestring
catch of it while on the run, bat he
made it.
Each team pulled a boner. Olson
should have covered second base oi
