THE BEE: OMAHA. FRIDAY. JUNE 10, 1921. U.S. and Canada Example of Peace President Says Two Peoples Living Side By Side Greatest Contribution To World, Harding : Declares. Washington, June 9. President Harding, delivering a commencement address at. American university, found the subject of world peace oc cupying so prominent a place on the program that he was prompted to depart irom his manuscript and de clare for the preservation of peace by sovereign ttates, without inter ference of a world "superpower." The president's remarks followed an address by N. W. Rowel!. K. C, of Toronto, who suggested that the best contribution North America could make to civilization was "for men on this side of the, water" to itand together behind the movement for peaceful settlement of disputes. Another speaker who touched on the question of peace was J. J. Jusserand, the French ambassador, and the general discussion developed such a trend that Bishop J. W. Hamilton, presiding chancellor, ie ferred to the gathering as a "peace conference." ' Before singing began, American, British and French flags were raised over the outdoor speakers' "stand. ' Tribute to Nations. : "I do not think I could let this ."occasion pass," said the president, .'"without giving assent to many of -the appropriate and appealing things .-just uttered by Dr. Rowel!. I liked ! this expression that American and 'Canadian ideals are in cdmmon and .when he spoke about North Ameri can contribution to civilization and ''to the world, it occurred to me that the example of two great ' peoples living side by side ih peace, in confi : dence and in mutual understanding, is about the finest contribution that two nations could give to the world. I have said that if all the na tions were as honest and unselfish . as our republic, there never would be another war, I will revise it and say that if all the nations are as un selfish and devoted to their' ideals as ' the United States and Canada, there never will be another war. "I call attention to the fact that the United States and Canada have : settled their controversies satisfac torily without resort to a super power but by the exercise rf the sovereignty of free peoples dealing with one another. If we can com mit civilized ' humanity to a abiding righteousness and everlasting and inspire them with our example, we . will have made a long striae to ward the peace the world craves." , Urges Stability. With that Mr. Harding plunged into hi nrenared address, in which he enjoined all graduates to dedicate themselves to restoring stability in a x world where "almost nothing" re mains secure from the attacks of iconoclasts. In introducing the French ambas sador. Bishop Hamilton declared that the American and French armies were plighted at Yorktowrr in a "marriage bond" which actually was sealed years later in Flanders. "The bishop has referred to York town," said M. Jusserand, in begin ning his speech, "and well he may. The three flags above us represent .the three nations of Yorktown; one of them in those days on the wrong side, but on the right side now. Those three flags are different in their ar rangement of colors, but heaven be praised, they are blessed with the same colors, the red and white and blue."

For they have discovered that as a health-giving exercise bicvele riding has its advantages.

The later confessions, made in O'Neill, and which the officers testi fied to at the preliminary, agree and are that the murder was premediated, being discussed by the couple from time to time before the river was readied. "You do this to me after all I have done for you and all I have given you," the Deharts confessed the old man exclaimed, after Dehart had struck him once with a hammer and before the death blow was ad ministered. Murder Premeditated. , After going into camp on the Holt county side of the river, the confes sions say, the Deharts crossed back over to Boyd county and went to the Ed Englehaupt ranch for eggs, leaving Mize at camp. On the way back Dehart told the woman that he .had decided to kill Mize , that night and throw him in the river. ' "It is up to you," she replied. On reaching camp they found Mize seated on the west side of the wagon. Mrs. Dehart went around to the east side while Dehart got the Hammer and struck Mize on the head from the rear. Then Mize, as he staggered to his feet dazed, made his last utter ance and grappled with his assailant in a struggle for life. " Dehart was thrown to the ground, losing the hammer, and cried to the woman to get it and kill Mize as the latter was choking him.

V Exploitation of Female Workers Draws Union Fire Metal Workers Score At tempts Being Made to Re duce Standards by Using Women. Denver, June 9. Demand that steps be staken to halt the alleged exploitation of female labor by un scrupulous employers was made to day in a declaration presented for consideration before the convention here of metal trades of the depart ment o fthe Federation of Labor. Several other issues confronting the metal trade's, also were to be discussed at today's session. .The declaration .asserted that there is no objection to the employ ment of female labor, but there must be insistence that the women work ers will receive at least the same consideration and as good conditions as enjoyed by male labor. "Female labor during the war period," it was stated, "received a primitive knowledge of how to per form certain lines of work and op erate certain classes of machinery. The employers are now taking ad vantage of this limited training by reducing the standard as to wages and conditions of employment, first because of the almost total lack of organization among women and, second, because of the great unem ployment existing throughout the country which makes female labor an exceptionally easy prey for the unfair and unscrupulous employer." The department had before it an official report stating that the follow ing ship yards have been closed with little or no prospect of reopening now or in the future: Alexandria Ship Building company, Alexandria, Va.; Fusey and Tones, two plants at Gloucester, N. J., and Wilmington, Del.; the Harriman yard of the Merchants Ship Building company at Harriman. Pa.; the American In ternational Ship Building company at Hog Island, Fa.; the squantum plant of the Bethlehem Ship Build ing company at Squantum, Mass.; the Carolina Ship Building company at Wilmington, N. G. Ray Abbott Looked Like Rum Prisoner to This Cop "You're name's D. C. Hurley, 443 North Thirty-fifth avenue, isn't it? Arrested yesterday for drunk and il legal possession?" And Officer Huberty seized Ray Abbott, attorney, by the arm as he interrupted his conversation with "Judge" Britt at Central police head quarters yesterday. "N-no' replied Abbott. "That's not my name." "Yes it is," came back the officer. "Yeh, thats Hurley," put in Britt, his eyes twinkling. And the officer began to pull Ab bott toward the court room until Britt saw the situation was becom ing serious and called Captain Haze to help him identify Abbott. Hurlev showed up later and was fined $10. Taxi War Renewed.- Chicago, June 9.
