THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY. APRIL 5, 1921. Psciulo Cousin of President Faces a Long Prison Term Self. Styled "Secretary" to Harding Due for Trial on Number of Separate Charge. He Was Warren's Cousin, Until Officers Got Him Chicago, ,pril 4. While Everett A. Harding:, self-styled "cousin of our president and li is confidential secretary," spent Sunday in the comi ty jail at Woodstock, 111., where he is held on charges of impersonating a government official, secret service of ficials were digging into his activi ties. 'Mouths before the republican con vention in Chicago, young Harding, the agents discovered, was taking an active part in "Cousin Warren's'! candidacy, representing himself on va rious occasions as manager of Har ding's campaign, and even at that early date making promises of pa tronage. During the presidential primary campaign in Indiana, Everett first attached himself to "Cousin War ren." Prior to that he had been active in support of both General Wood and Governor Lowden. but when Senator Harding filed as a candidate in the Hoosicr state, "Cousin Everett" immediately trans ferred his allegiance and went to In dianapolis, where he represented himself as the senator's campaign manager and held conferences and laid plans with leading politicians. His stay in Indianapolis was brief, however, as word of his activities reached Harry R. Daughcrty, Sen ator Harding's national campaign manager, and Mr. Daugherty has tened to the Indiana capitol. The nature of his interview with "Cou sin Everett'' has not been made pub lic, but immediately after this meet ing Everett came back to Chicago and subsided until the Harding cam paign headquarters were opened here. This time he attached hini- tc . . 1 i . :.. .. PIU III UCctUlJUtll ICl 5 III an auvisui y capacity" as he expressed it to his friends. He made many suggestions and conferred with anyone who would listen to him. Harry Ruddnick, a volunteer worker in the. Harding cause, wrote a letter offering his services and this letter fell into the hands of "Cousin Everett," who wrote Rudd nick, urging him to come to head quarters at once and go to work, assuring him he would be paid lib erally. Ruddnick thought this rather "spectacular inasmuch as he had of fered his services free. When he went to headquaters and met the real officials, they decided it was time to suppress "Cousin- Everett" before he did something that would reflect seriously upon Senator Hard ing. The matter was taken un with Harry Daugherty and when "Cousin Everett" appeared the next day, he was escorted out of the hotel and directed to remain away. Secret service men who are check ing up the large number of people who have been victimized by "Cousin Everett," say he faces a long term in the penitentiary- as- a result of his activities. The specific charge upon which he is held is that of impersonating a governmen offi cial. This carries a fine of $1,000 and three years in a federal prison. Every time he borrowed money on his false representation constitutes a separate offense. 500 Nebraska Odd Fellows to Attend Meet Here April 30 More than 500 Nebraska Odd Fel lows will attend the 102d anniversary of the Independent Order of Odd Yellows, which js to be held in Oma ha at the Auditorium April 30.

Justice Morschauser, in supreme court here today, signed an order directing that payment of alimony and counsel fees in the divorce pro ceedings brought by James A. Still man, New York banker, against Mrs. Anne U.

Here are Everett A. Harding, his sister, Pearl, 13, and her pet cat, "Gamaliel." Secct service operatives have pricked their political and so cial bubbles. Everett won prominence by pos ing as cousin and confidential sec retary to President Harding. Pearl was dubbed "The White House Baby" and named her cat for "Cous in Warren." Everett chartered a special car to go to the inauguration with friends he had promised policital jobs. The Pennsylvania railroad claims the check he gave for the special car was returned for want of funds. Pearl gave out many inter views and pictures. President Harding is reported as having denied relationship with them and secret service operatives, work ing under orders direct from Wash ington, are checking up Everett's ac tivities while he lies in jail.
