"Triple Voiced" Omahan To Stay at Minneapolis Joseph Kaufman, ex-soldier, given nation-wide publicity for his "triple voice," did not return to Omaha yes terday, with his brother, Jack, 2429 Decatur street, as the family ex pected.

Governor Edwards, before receiving the letter, stated: "You may say that thj fight will go on and will be conducted abso lutely within the law."

Dr. Crafts also wrote Governor Sproul of Pennsylvania who has been invited to the fight as the guest of Governor Edwards, ask ing him to stay away.
