Girl's Love
For Hubby
Clairvoyant Poisoned Young
Wife's Mind With Stone
Of Other Women, Hue
- band Charges.
A struggle between belief in clair
- voyancy and the love for a husband
is being waged in the mind of Mrs
Ethel Elliott, pretty girl-wife of Ed
ward Elliott, 42) North s Twenty
third street.
,iestUay morning Mrs. Elliott
v ilcclaredV she believed her love for
Jier husband hd triumphed, but con
fessed her belief in the mystic had
not been entirely shaken.
When. Mrs'. Elliott, with her o
months-old baby. Edward, returned
from a visit in Kansas a month ago
sue says she wai accosted by a Mrs
Ida Clutter, who claimed to be a
medium, and who lived n the same
tpartment Duilclmgj '
Mrs. Cluttenurged her to indergo
a reading and she. consented. The
ineirl-wite was informed her hus
band had "gone with other women
whiie sue was away.
Doubted Her Husband.
'My confidence iu Edward, was
.entirely thaken,' said little Mrs. El
liott yesterday, and a tear trickled
cown her cheek. I elt the room in
a da2ed condition. Somehow I felt
the presence of something mysteri
" ous some unearthly being while
; the reading was going on.
, "I didn't wa"nt ' to believe Mrs.
1 Clutter. Edward and I had only
been married a sho,rt time, and there
was my baby to think of. But I
was nervous and shaken, and I
couldn't help doubting him.
"Edward noticed I didn't seem the
same. He questioned me and at last
I told him.. He was very angry and
went to Mrs. Clutter with a check
for. $100, telling her she could have
the money if she proved he was un
true to me.
"She was unable to prove it. She
became angry and drew a knife oh
v my husband. I called the police, but
Mrs. Clutter went away before they
arrived." ,
Little Mrs. Elliott held her baby
tight and her eyes shone.
7 '! do want to believe in ray hus
band," she announced. "I believe I
can. I don't think he goes with other
women because he works all day and
stays at home with me at night And
he always gives me his pay check."
Promises To Forget.
Then her youthful countenance
though." She hesitated, and then,
"but I will forget and love him as
if nothing had happened."
i Her husband was arrested Mon
day on a charge filed by Mrs. Clut
ter, charging him with disturbing the
peace. He told a story similar tc
that of his wife at Central police sta- f
I tion, charging the clairvoyant had at-1
' . . . i . t. i -
xemptea 10 wrccs nis uyiiic.
' He declared Mrs. Clutter's hus
band had offered to make further
revelations regarding his infidelity,
, but had told his wile he must place
his arms around her to "tell hfe for
tune right." N
The Clutters left the apartment
where the Elliotts live Saturday
night and left no address. The
charge of .Mrs. Clutter against El
liott wit be heard in police court
tomorrow. v ;
"I will testify that Mrs.' Clutter
drew a knife on my husband," said
Mrs. Elliott yesterday morning. "I
am almost convinced she was simply
trying to wreck our home when she
told me those things. I don't know.
. -whv, though, unless well, she
might have cared for Edward.
Anyway I m trying, on, so iiaru,
to forget what she told me and love
my husband as I should."

a campaign tour under the direction
of the republican national committee,
that he had no doubt from the first
about Senator Harding's position on

and will s;Jisfy and bitter-ender or
irrenconcilable.

campaign committee on matters re
lating to his speaking tour, which

ing the primary contest.

.... f . ( ,1,a .. ..V1......i t.i.1A. "
the senator said. "I may say that
California will go republican by 100,
000 at tfte lowest estimate. I under
stand that Nebraska is safe, and thatJ
is why I did not expect to speak
here, but your invitation to speak in
Omaha appeals to me. I am mighty
grateful to the people of Nebraska
for what they did for me last April.
Words cannot tell how I feel. The
people here wer-e more than kind
to me."
He stated that, the league of na
tions is the one big issue now, and
commented on the fact that when
he started out to fight the league
the opponents were not as popular
as they are now.
"There is nothing to it now," he
added. "I am going to preach the
same doctrine that I have been
preaching for the last year and a
half. There is a system I don't like
and which I shall hereafter fight,
but I have declared -a truce tem
porarily because of the big thing
hat is involved."

Labor Shortage
Ties Up Building
Here Reports Show
Two , Thousand Skilled and
Unskilled Workers Needed
in Oulaha Nowmploy
ment Agents Declare.
Omaha prosperity and industrial
activity are rippled Oily in a short
age of labor, according to repbrts
received yesterday from labor
agencies. y
Omaha, like many other cities in
the country at tins time, is experi
encing difficulty in 'finding lnen for
jobs. Fully 2,000 laboring men could
be utilized at the present time, ac
cording to a conservative estimate
by labor agents)
There is work for men of all crafts
from the common- day laborer to the
trained carpenter and mechanic. A
minimum wage of $4180 a day for
the common day laborer to wages
of from $10 to "$12 a day for cer
tain trained mechanics.
Shows Prosperity.
"This labor shortage should- not
be looked upon from a pessimistic
point of view, said a labor agent.
''Rather, it should be hailed as an
optimistic sign showing that there is
plenty of money and aggressiveness
in the business and industrial line
and it indicates that Umaha is tret
ting at the bit to forge ahead the
same as it always has done."
The labAr shortage was explained
as the result of the war, which tied
up all industriesexcepting those
directly interesting in furnishing
munitions, clothing or food to the
soldiers. These necessities of war
concentrated labor in the east and in
rriaiii other favored cities of a
democratic administration, it was ex
plained, and teft Omaha and dozens
of other, thriving cities with the bare
necessities' in a labor line.
Movement Is Slow'.
Now that the war is over labor is
concentrated in theJcities favored by
government contracts and the move
ment of laboring men to cities
situated like Omaha is a slow and
tedious line. . ,
Omana at this time is almost free'
from industrial strife. The only
labor trouble of any magnitude is a
strike of painters and decorators
which has. been underway for three
weeks. At this time there apparent
ly is little hope for; a speedy set
tlement. "
It Jias cainrht the boss painters and
contractors in the midst of numer
ous contracts for interior decorating
and furnishings following the war
and has forced them" to put in the
"open shop" and employ men from
out of the city.- , ,
Master Painters Complain.
G. A. Steinheimer, president of
the Master1 Painters' and Decorators'
association,- declared today that the
employers absolutely refused to meet
the $2 a day Intrease demanded by
the employes and 'further charged
that the employes had not given the
employers'1 sufficient advance notice
of their determination to strike un
less an increase in wages was re
ceived. ''.'
