a savage's or a dog's way to settle
disputes," he exclaimed.
When lie finished the women
adopted resolutions calling upon
President Harding and congress to
initiate a movement toward a friend
ly agreement between nations for a
reasonable reduction of military ex
penditures. '
Mrs. D. G. Crighead moved to

Rail Vamp Lured
Him; Man Charges
In Damase Suit
Story of Alleged Intrigue Fol
lowing Injury in Accident
Told in Complaint Filed
In Court.
When Patrick Kelly brought suit
in district court yesterday for $50,
000 against Stella Summers, the
Union Pacific railroad and Jasper
F. Cox, claim agent, there came to
light a story of alleged intrigue
which started in March, 1920, when
Patrick was injured while working
for the Union Pacific.
After the accide.nt, Stella, young
and radiant, apparently fell in love
with him, induced him to come to
Omaha to settle his damage suit for
$45,000 against the road, and ar
ranged meeting between him and the
claim agent, he alleges.
Arriving here, she stopped at the
Conant; he at the Northwestern
hotel. The claim agent offered him
$2,000 in settlement, but he refused
because he "couldn't buy clothes for
such a beautiful girl like, Stella" after
they wcrt married. Then one day
she opened her bag to powder her
face and he saw she had a large
roll of money.
Suspicious, but still worshipful, he
agreed to Stella's plans for them to
go to California and be married, he
says. But the roll of money and tin
meetings with the claim agent had
aroused hi? ?uspicicns.
"The scheme was," said John
Yeiser, Patrick's attorney, "for the
girl to get on the train at the start
and then drop off at spine station
and let Pat go on."
Now the love dream of the honest
railroad man is broken, but he has
$95,000 of damage suits pending
where he had only $45,000 before.

Jewel, Flower, Color
' Symbols for Today
By MILDRED MARSHALL.
Today's talismanic stone, the agate,
is said to beV especially lucky for
travelers, since it is noted for its
power to protect those who journey
by land or sea. In modern times it
has been accepted as a lucky stone
for aviators. Camillo Leonardo and
other ancient authorities claimed
that it never failed as a protection
against lightning. It is also said
to bring the happiness of true love
to a woman who wears it set in a
locket.
Today's natal stone, the coral, also
exerts protective powers over those
who travel. It is said to be partic
ularly potent as acharm for those
who journey on the water. It brings
creat vitality and brilliancy of mind
to those born on an anniversary of
this date.
According to both Oriental and
Roman legends, light red or coral
pink should be worn today. This
color is said to be symbolic of a
spirit that overcomes all obstacles,
without giving offense to anyone.
Today's flower is the pink rose,
which is especially lucky for the
bride who includes it in her wed
ding bouquet.
