enade to, Giye Up Profes-,
clonal Life for Apartment
For Two Here.
A cozy little apartment somewhere
in Omaha, with a kitchenette and a
phonograph and those cheerful pink
cretonne curtains will be the future
home of Mrs. Lewis H. Burgess,
star of "The Midnight Rounders"
atop the Century theater, and her
young Umaha husband.
At least that is the type of home
young Burgess (has in mind, and he
says Mrs. Burgess, formerly Rosie
Uuinn. rassing show beauty and
uroaaway lavorue, is in complete ac
cord with his idea.
The young couple, secretly mar
ried three months ago at St. Mary's
Eoiscooal church in New York, re
married Tuesday night Archbishop
Marty performed the ceremony,
which was a quiet affair, with only
the bridegroom's . family in attend
ance. ... ; . , ,

it was the quiet, domestic life lor
them from now on. '
Through With Stag.
"Mrs. Burgess will not return to
the stage," he announced in a voice
that carried conviction. "Her con
tract ended in October and she came
to Omaha just as we had planned."
But on the heels of this firm as
sertion comes a message from the
Shuber.ts in New York alluding to
a 10-year contract and a two-weeks'
honeymoon and a party on the well
known roof to welcome Mrs. Bur
ncss . back from the two-weeks'
honeymoon, , ' ,
The young husband read the mes
sage with interest, but there was
conviction in his eyes as well as his
voice when he declared, "Mrs. Bur
cess and I are quite agreed her
theatrical career shall end. There
is no 10-year contract -Heronly
contract is with me.''
"The affair is ended" - said Mrs.
Ward Burgess, who at this moment
entered the room. "The young neo
ple are married and will live just as
other young people live."
New York Will Mist Her.
; There was a finality in the yoke
of the senior Mrs. Burgess, who is
president of the Omaha Fine Arts
society, that left no room for doubt.
Thus have the ranks of the Cen
tury promenade again been depleted-
by the master mind of the matrimo
nial realm, Cupid.
The Century garden will still re
verberate to the, syncopated notes of
jazz music, but the lithe young per
son who danced and sang her way
into the hearts of pleasure-loving
New York will be missing.
She will be the mistress of a cozy
apartment somewhere in Omaha,
with a kitchenette and a phonograph

Debt Will Be Reduced.
Mr. Houston predicted rapid re
duction in the gross ' national debt
through the coming vear, particular
ly the $2,350,000,000 "short term cer
tificates outstanding. ,i The. treasury
program, he added, vrtmld jresult in
reducing this below-? $2,000,000,000
and perhaps to $1,500,000,000.
By the end of thetfscal $ear1922,
Mr. Houston: declaic4 the treasury
should have redeemed. 'its entire
"floating debt" ; or rhe-t .short-term
certificates, When the Victory notes
maturing 4he next year would be?
come practically the "floating debt,"
and probably- be accepted in pay
ment of federal taxes.
Turning to the, demands of , agri
cultural interest for government
help, Mr. Houston said that "scarce
ly had a reduction in the cost of liv
ing manifested itself, when every
producer manifested resistance."
Keep Up Prices.
"Every producer is willing for the
products of every other producer to
decline, but protests the decline in
hi. own." he continued. "There is
much human nature in this, but not
much reasonableness. . ,
'The situation is the result mainly
of war and in no small measure the
failure of this - nation and nations
everywhere to date to devise better
arrangements for storage and .mar
keting of farm products. For these
things no one in particular is now
to blame.
"In the circumstances, it seems to
some ' farmers that they are in the
way of being hit first, if not exclu
sively. They are naturally disturbed
and distressed and are seeking relief
measures, some of which are not

are searching for the way out is to

"It is the ' same' disposition which

even of a purely local character.

Sayg His Letter
Was From Women
Offer Similar to One. Received
By Harding arid Questioned

President Wilson.
Chicaao. . Oct. 20. The letters
from France received by Senator Jo
seoh I. France of Maryland propos
ing a change in the organization of
the present league of nations were
from a woman and not" a mart,' the
senator said today. "The proposal
dealt chiefly with the desirability of
calling "an international convention
of friends of peace," her said.
pnatnr Vratiri hnwfupr. said the
offer was similar to those made to
Senator Harding, and that, although
the writer said she believed she was
M-nrMsintr the views of the French
people, the senator said, the French
government was in no way connected
with the proposals. '
"A rtictincrtiicheri woman writrr of
France made the offer," Senator
France said. "She is a member of
an organization which is working
quietly among the thinkers of her"
nation in order to form a body, in
connection with the United States,
which will give the subject nations
a definite chance for self-govern
ment, as soon as tney nave proved
themselves capable of it.,
"It does not seem to be generally
known in this country that the labor

ers of France are strongly opposed
to the league ot nation as at pres

Election of Harding All
Over But Shouting, Taft bays
Chicago, Oct 20. "The election is
over. The people are just waiting
to go through the technical act of
voting," said former President Taft
today. "Senator Harding will be
elected by a large majority.
"Unless Harding is elected there
will be no league of nations. I ' Cox
were to be elected, there would be
a continual deadlock, just as there
was in the Wilson administration.
Personally, I was in favor -of the
league, and I was disappointed when
the president did not accept the
league with reservations." - -

Gox Calls Upon
Root to Retract
League Charges
Democratic Nominee Denies
He Demands Document
"Just as Mr. v., Wilson
Negotiated It."
Bridgeport, Conn., Oct. 20. Gov
ernor Cox today sent a telegram
to Elihu Root asking him to "cor
rect" what the democratic candidate
declared was a "false" statement In
Mr. Root's address yesterday, re
garding the governor's position upon
the league of nations issue. The
governor denied Mr. Root's state
ment that he demands the league
"just as Mr. Wilson negotiated it,"
and called upon Mr. Root for a re
traction. Governor Cox restated his pro
posal to accept any. reservations
"helpful" to the league and contend
ed therefore, that Mr. Root had
i made a statement "which the rec
j ords show is false."
, The governor's telegram follows:
"Elihu Root, New York City:
I have before me, a quotation
from your address on the league
of nations delivered in New York
City, Oct. 19, which reads: 'Mr.
Cox declared that he will insist up
on the treaty just as Mr. Wilson ne
gotiated it'
"I am addressing you most re
spectfully with recognition of your
integrity of purpose andvthe -signal
service which you have rendered as
a public man, mindful of the fact
that you may have fallen into error
through ignorance of the situation
owning to your absence from the
United States during part 7of the
campaign.
Statement Wrong.
"Your statement, however, is not
in keeping with the facts which vou
are assumed to know by perusal of
the daily papers. I have invariably
stated in my addresses and re-state
here, my whole-hearted . desire to
make the United States a member of
the league of nations and that, to
secure that consummation of the pur
pose of America when she .entered
the war, I will accept reserVatidns
that will .clarifyythat will be help
ful, that will reassure the American
people, and that as a matter of good
faith; will clearly state to our. asso
ciates in the league, that congress
alone has the right to declare war,
and that our constitution sets jtfp
limits in legislation or treaty making
beyond which we cannot go. I have
stated further that I wilj accept res
ervationsfrom any source which arc
offered in sincerety and with a dc
sire to be helpful. ?
"I have also stated that if I am
elected president my election can
be construed only as a mandate of
the American people; and that to
secure ratification of treaty r-d the
league I would sit down v,ih the
members of the United States senate;
I would confer with Mr. Wilson and
with you, Mr. Root, as well as with
Judge Taft and all others who have
a sincere purpose and whose service
in the past equips them especially
as advisers in this work. "
Takes Charitable View.-
"You know and know full well
that Senator Harding verv recently
said, 'I am not interested in clari
fication;1 I am interested in rejec
tion. As I have stated at the begin
ning, I am placing a charitable con
struction upon your statement, that
perhaps your partisanship has pre
vented your reading my address and
your prejudice has prevrnted you
from realizing, the destructionist at
titude of. your own candidate, but
you t have made; a statement con
cerning me which the "records show
is false and I firmly but respect
fully call upon you to correct this
statement at once.
"Mr. Root, you have arrived at
honorable station in life. Many peo
ple trust you; you have no rig.it to
deceive them. They want the truth
in this campaign. Your conscience
will tell you that dutv to it -should
f-be superior to duty to ycur'nar'fy

War Department Admits h
regularities Through Dis
posal of Surplus : Stocks
Purchased for A. E. F ,
Chlcaco Tribune-Omaha Bee leased Wire.
Washington. Oct. 20. Admission
was made by the War department to
day that Some irregularities have oc
curred through the sale byhe gov
ernment of surplus property on
hand at the close of the war. The
admission was made in connection
with a statement following disclos
ures in New York that government
profiteers were reaping harvests
through army sales, particularly in
clothing. ,
On the heels of the department's
admission that there had been some
irregularities due to the enormity of
the business, came other charges
that private dealers who had obtain
ed vast supplies of army candy at
the rate of o and 10 cents a pound,
were reaping enormous profits
through sale of the candy at 80
cents and $1 a pound.
Profiteering in New York, it is
declared, has been made possible to
favor dealers, who purchased sur
plus army stocks at ridiculously low
figures and sell them at tremendous
advances, the profits in some cases
being reported as high as 1,000 per
cent One case cited is that of a
concern which purchased 300,000
raincoats from the government at
25 cents each and -resold them to a
chain of raincoat stores at 10 times
that amount or $2.50 each, thus mak
ing a profit of $675,000 or 900 per
cent on the investment.
Another incident called to the
War department's attention was the
purchase by the same concern of 1,
000,000 yards of olive drab shirt
ing at a loss to the government from
12 to 17 cents a yard, or from $120,-
000 to $170,000 on the lot.

League Question
Forced on People,
Hitclicock Says
Republicans Compelled Issue
Into Campaign for Lack of
More Genuine Subject,
. .... Nebraskan Declares.
- New York, Oct. 20. Senator Gil
bert M. Hitchcock of Nebraska, who
represented the administration in
urging ratification of the treaty of
Versailles on the floor of the sen
ate, discussed the league of nations
before' the Cox-Roosevelt campaign
committee of Columbia university.
Addressing a large audience in the
college gymnasium, he said that the
league became the issue of the pres
ent campaign because the republi
cans forced it on 'the public for
lack pf a more genuine subject of
party disagreement.
"The dinner pail," he said, "has
never been so full as it is now, nor
the commercial business of the coun
try so. prosperous as it has been for
several years past." This, he said,
eliminated former issues of the "full
dinner pail" and the tariff.
"Republicans, knowing these is
sues are dead, had to put them in
cold"6torage," he declared.
The league of nations, Senator
Hitchcock asserted, is nothing more
than a promise among nations to do
things which conduce to peace rath
er than to war.
"There is no such thing as la na
tion being out-vote,d in .the league,"
he declared. "Its fine features will
do away with secret treaties and
gradually accomplish the disarma
ment of the world." J- ,
i He denied that articler 10 would
obligate Americans to fight at the
bidding of other nations, saying that
the article "actually originated in
this country at the time the Monroe
doctrine was drafted."
