the action of Governor McKelvie in
holding up the parole to Ben Mar
shall, in which ' also was expressed
the determination of the women to
watch carefully all paroles from the
itnte prison," was unanimously
ijoptcd. '' .
More than 200 women, represent
ii.gf all the" Protestant churches of
Omaha were, present at the meet
ing which was a regular session of
I he organization, - , .
.Those Present Signed.
The S signatures of those . present
v rre appended to the resolution to
J sent to the governor. Dr. Jennie
Cfllfas introduced the resolution,
which was drawn up by the com
mittee of pardons and paroles of
the W. C T. U.
Mrs. W. T: Graham, Mrs. I: S.
Wood and Mrs. E. B. Towl also
spoke of the necessity of women
Uoing everything the could to pro
nv. themselves and their daughters.
Neither political nor racial bias en
& lered into the action of the federa
tion. The letter to the governor
fellows: '
The members of the "Missionary
Federation of. Churches 61 Omaha,
m assembly,, take pleasure' in pub
licly commending and thanking you
for withholding parole to Ben Mar
shall, sentenced after due trial, for
assault. ' ; " t ;
Deplore La Parole.
As women citizens of Omaha and
the state of Nebraska, we deplore
the too lax parole of duly convicted
criminals, as it places an unneces
sary burden on ou,r police depart
ment,) but we consider the parole
of men convicted pf assault the most
dangerous. Women consider as
sault worse than murder. , i-
This federation stands for the
majesty of the Ijiw. It stands for
a fair trial ior ' all. It also stands
for the exaetment erf the penalty on
all criminals, but especially on crim-
' inals convicted of assault, c y
Append Names. ;
: We , take this uncompromising
stand on the punishment of crim
inals because as citizens we uphold
our courts of justice and because we
wliave confidence in the theory that
swift, sure and full: punishment,
when merited, prevents crime.
As evidence of our commendation
of your action in the case men
tioned and also as evidence of our
support of. all, your future law en
forcement' we take pleasure in ap
pending our names.

Former Omaha Sleuth De
clares That Auto Caravans
Of Booze Runners Are -Crossing
Canadian Line.
. St. Anthony . Falls, Minn., , and
Minot.-N. D., are the two main keys
of liquor traffic from Canada iiUo
'he middle west states, Robert P.
Samardiclc, internal v revenue - oper
ative, declared yesterday after hav
ing spent six weeks running down
liquor traffickers along the Canadian
border.
. Asked about airplanes transport
ing Canadian liquor across the bor
der, Samardick replied:
"It's the bunkj Why should the
violators take the death chance of
transporting a few cases of liquor
by plane with greater chance of de
tection when caravans of automo
biles smuggle the stuff across 60 to
70 cases at a time?" i
"And Omaha boodeggers are not
-inactive in these dashes across the
Canadian border," he stated.
"St. Anthony FaMs, Minn., and
Minot, N. D., are the chief points
of traveler whisky runners. They
keep 35 federal operatives and
squads of state and county officials
on their feet constantly. Gun bat
tles occur frequently but in the
end, they get across.
"How much of the stuff gets to
Omaha? There are plenty of per
sons in Umaha whoy know.
Samardick has authority to work
as a free lance operative anywhere
in Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota and
the two Dakotas.
Last Hope of Chicago
Woman for Custody of
"Baby Irene" Killed
" Toronto, Ont., Nov. 18. The last
resource upon which Mrs. Frederick
Matters, Chicago, pinned her hope of
regaining possession . of "Baby
Irene" claimed by two mothers was
exhausted when the supreme court
upheld a decision of the lower court
awarding the child to Margaret Ryan
of Ottawa.
By the same process of law the
child was excluded from falling heir
T
to nearly a thiid of a million dollars,
which would have been hers as
daughter of the rich American.
Ever since the, two women, Mrs.
Matters and Margaret Ryan, were
inmates of Misericordia hospital, the
fight ovci "Baby Irene" has raged
in the courts. Both had become
mothers, but only one child lived.
Months of litigation, with both
women claiming the living child, re
sulted in the decision of Justice Len
nox last December that a substitu
tion had taken place and that Mar
garet Ryan was really the mother
ot the infant girl.

Susar DroDS Again. .
New Ydrk, Nov. 18. Failure of
bankers to arrive at any dehnite con
clusions in regard to a Cuban loan
seemed today to have undermined
sentiment in sugar to some extent

making new low records ' for the
season. Raws declined to the basis
of 6.26 cents for centrifugal and re
fined to 9.5Q cents for fine granu
lated. ' .

Farm Bureau Denies
Plan to Sell Grain Is
In Nature of "Trust"
' - -
Cblraga Trlbune-Omh le l.raiwil Wlr.
' Washington, Nov. 18. The Amer
ican Farm Bureau federation issued
a statement asserting that its' plan to
organise a co-operative association
to handle wheat sales in the United
States could not be construed
a "combine" or "trust."
"The American Farm Bureau fed
eration fully realizes that the price
of any commodity depending upon
export for an outlet for a large sur-,
plus must be governed by world
conditions of supply and demand,"
iaid Gray Silver, Washington repre
sentative of the federation. ,
"It is,1 however, entirely possibl
to handle the grain crop by co-oper-
alive means in such a way as to cut,
down costs all along the line, there
by give the farmer a better price for
his crop while at the same time re-?-;
ducing the price to the consumer. It-
is a plan of this kind which the fed
eration ms in mind."
