For Apprehension

land in Ireland.
By Th Aiutx-latrd Tlf.
Dublin, July 30. Writs of attach
went, calling for the apprehension
of General Sir Nevil MacReady,
commander of the British troops in
Ireland, "and Major General Stride
land, commander in Munster, were
issued today by the master of the
&ol!s. Sergeant Hanna, attorney
tor General MacReady and General
Strickland and also for the governor
of Limerick jail for whom :i similar
writ was issued, announced that a
notice of an appeal against the de
cision of the master of the rolls,
would be lodged with the house of
lord.
The case had its origin in the fail
tire of those against whom tho writs
were issued to comply with proceed
ings in habeas corpus to produce
John E. Egan. under sentence of
death by a military court in Lim
erick, in court today.
Sergeant Hanna told the master
of the rolls that he had been in
structed by General MacReady to in
form the court that, pending a final
hearing on the appeal, the sentences
of death against Egan and an
other prisoner named Higgins would
be unexpected.
No Arrests Expected,
Uncertainty prevails here as to
the next step in the case. Dublin
is not under martial law and it is
therefore presumed that General
MacReady who is now in London,
and the others against whom the
-.writs were issued, are liable to arrest.
While the writs have been issued,
no' arrests are expected. The con
tention of the military authorities is
that they acted not under the ordi
nary law, but under martial law,
which they claim superseded the civil
jurisdiction. The case follows the
historic precedent in the case of
Wolfe Tone, the Irish revolutionist,
who was captured on a French
squadron on its way to Ireland in
1798 and sentenced to death. -
The Evening Telegraph says Egan
no longer is in Limerick jail. It adds
that the habeas corpus order made
by the master of the rolls was served
on the prison governor Wednesday
and that three hours later a party of
the military arrived in lorries and
removed Egan, whose present where
abouts is unknown.
De Valera Still Silent.
, London, July 29. Eamonn de
..... . . .1 ,
? v aiera still is stient, anoiner my
having passed with no word trom
the republican leader.
The general supposition now is
that there will be no new move in
the peace negotiations pending1 the
expected release of those members
of the Dail Eireann who are in jail
and summoning of a full meet-
Temooranlv. the peace negotia
tions have been overshadowed by the
extraordinary action of the military
authorities in Ireland, Gen. Sir
Nevil MacReady, Maj. Gen. Sir Ed
ward Strickland and others, in defy
ing the master of the rolls by failing
to comply with writs of habeas cor
pus, which he ordered in connection
with the sentencing to death of
John Egan and the reported spirit
ing away of Egan to an unknown
place. .
Legion Will Oppose
Move to Pardon Debs
Indianapolis, July 30. Promising
to fight to a finish any move to par
don Eugene V. Debs and other war
prisoners at this time, John G. Em
ery, , national commander of the
American Legion, wired President
Harding that to free such prisoners
would be interpreted as a license to
disregard law and order.
The telegram was prompted by
press dispatches which stated that
the president received delegations
urging such action and that the mat
ter would have early consideration.
Alvin M. Usley, acting airecior 01
the Legion's Americanism commis
sion, wrote Attorney General Daugh-

Professor s Wife
Describes Fall
Down Side of Peak
Aged Woman Burns to Death
Trying to Save Her Husband
Fresno, Cal., July 30. Mrs. John
A Duckworth, aged 78, made a futile
effort to save her bedridden hus
band, who is 80. when an exploding
oil stove fired their home at Clovis,
near here early today, and they
both suffered burns from -which thy
died few hours after neighbors had
jcarried them from the house.
Incessant Shouting During
Eight Days She Lay on Peril
ous Ledge Led Searching
Party to Her.
Spray Falls, Alta., July 30. Mrs,
W. E. Stone, testing in an inv
provised camp on Mount Eanon
described today how the shrill sound
of her voice, caught up by the multi
tude of peaks and crags and re
echoing, saved her life after her hus
band, president of Purdue univer
sity of Lafayette, Ind., had perished
in climbing the mountain, and after
she had lain eight days on a perilous
ledge.
A searching party had calculated
the . probable course that Dr. and
Mrs. Stone would take in the at
tempt to ascend Mount Eanon.
From a point of vantage the
searchers had scoured every side
with their glasses without a sight
of anything. Then, as they decided
to go on, one member of the party
thought he heard the cry of a wom
an from afar. Listening intently,
the searchers heard it again.
Rescue Didn't Take Long.
A minute inspection with their
glasses revealed far !low and across
the canyon the form of a woman
One hour later Mrs. Stone was
rescued.
At different periods she had raised
her voice with all the vigor she had,
expecting that some time it might
be heard and she would be rescued.
Dr. Stone was within five minutes
climb of the top of the hitherto un
sealed mountain.
The accident happened on July 16,
Mr. and Mrs. Stone expected to
make the climb, rest at the top and
then get back to the tood cache that
night.
Dr. Stone was climbing above,
cheerfully and unhesitatingly, when
without a word of warning, a fare
well of any kind, not even a sign,
he plunged over her head to the
abyss below. He fell fully 5,000 feet
in the opinion of his wife. She saw
the body strike a rock, bound from
it from cliff to cliff and on down the
side of the mountain: and when
found was 3,000 feet below the point
where Dr. Stone had fallen.
Was Alone Eight Days.
How Mrs. Stone became marooned
on a ledee of rock she does not know,
She could oroceed neither way. In
that position she spent eight days
She had no food, but during the mid
dle of each day when the sun was
high a tiny stream of melted snow
came trickline down, close enough
that she could refresh herselt. she
never gave up the fight. Every day
she cried for help and it was because
of this spirit that she eventually was
discovered.
Dr. Stone seemed to have had a
oresentiment that the venture might
end in disaster. When he and Mrs.
Stone departed from camp on Mount
Assiniberne, the Matterhorn ot tne
Canadian Rockies on July IS, he left
word that if they did not return in
three davs a searching party should
be sent out.. The mountain is almost
inaccessible. Last year a Wakefield
oartv made an unsuccessful attempt
to scale it. They had reached an al
titude of 9,763 feet, when they came
to a stone wall which was impossible
to ascend. They had no time to
make another attempt, but sug
gested that an ascent might be made
from the southeast end of Mount
Glory. With this information Dr.
and Mrs. Stone made the effort which
ended tragically.

Greeks to Continue
Drive in Asia Minor
Constantinople, July 30. Follow
ing a military conference at Kutaya,
the Greeks have decided to continue
their offensive in Asia Minor. Those
favoring the continuing of operations
pointed out that rf the Greek opera
tions were stopped now wiinoui a
decisive engagement or the capitula
tion of Kemal. the Greek position
would be worse off than it was before
the advance started. The proponents
of the plan finally, won over those
who were urzincr caution lest last
year's Eshishehr's rout be repeated.
The Kemahsts are caning new
classes to the colors, insisting that
the Turks must fight to the last man
to save the country. The Turks
have closed Samsoun and other
Black Sea ports to trade because of
the concentration of Greek troops
for service in Asia Minor.

Army Aviators
"Bomb" New York
Metropolis Theoretically Wip
ed Off Map To "Attack"
Philadelphia Monday.
New York, July 30. Ne'w York
and Washington today, in theory,
were bombed off the map, following
in the wake of Norfolk, Newport
News and Richmond. Philadelphia is
due for a theoretical bombing Mon
ti ay.
The fate of the various cities was
made known by Brigadier General
William Mitchell, assistant chief of
the army air service, when he step
ped from his plane after leading three
squadrons of 17 bombers on an aerial
"attack" against New York.
A simultaneous attack on Wash
ington by 70 machines had been or
dered. All these air crafts are part of a
war problem which army aviators
are working out after having parti
cipated in the recent bombing of
former German warships off the Vir
ginia Capes.
The haze that hung over the land
m.rJe observation of the planes fly
ing at 8.000 feet virtually impossible
and officers declared the planes
could have bombed away without
tear of successful counter attack from
the ground anti-aircraft guns.
After the forts had been put out
of action, the squadrons swooped
down to 4,000 feet and flew ever Wall
street. The sub-treasury was their
chief "target."
Although curious New Yorkers
t ever knew it, thousands of tliem
were slain always theoretically
and scarcely a building was left
standing in the financial district.
The aviators declared they had open
ed the way for a hostile force to
steam into the harbo; and scire the
citv.

Workmen Raze
Big Army Tower
Scout Observation Platform
At Omaha Declared Dan
gerous to Children.
The giant observation tower above
Fort Omaha is being razed. Work
men are tearing down the structure
that children may not suffer further
mishaps on it.
During the war, the tower was
used by practicing military observers
at Fort Omaha. In the past two
years, children in that neighborhood
have played about it aiul climbed
to its full height.
The tower claimed its first vic
tim June 22, when Ralph "L'tiddy"
Groves, 12, 3058 Stone avenue, fell
35 feet, fracturing both arms. He
has recovered. Several other chil
dren have fallen from the tower.
Fort Omaha authorities received
authority yesterday from Washing

Q
By Edward S. Jordan
AMHO0MCIM
MEW NATIONAL USED CM
POLICY AND FEIC
Suspicion !
That word unfortunately, de
scribes the attitude of ninety per
cent of those good people who
today would buy a good used
car if they had complete confi
dence in the man who offered it
for sale, and the price at which
he offered it.
Manufacturers in the past
have feared to associate their
good names with the sales of used
cars of other makes for fear of
losing prestige.
It has always been the policy
of the Jordan organization, in
dealing with used car purchasers,
to keep in mind that line regard
for the good name of Jordan
which has always been associated
with the sale of new Jordan cars.
The Jordan company now pub
licly reiterates this policy! It
assures prospective used-car
purchasers that they can buy a
good used car from a Jordan
dealer with that same degree of
confidence which all Jordan
owners feel.
Unusual Price Reductions
Last spring Jordan was first to
announce an astounding reduc
tion in the price of new Jordan
cars.
Now the Jordan company,
uniting with all Jordan distribu
tors throughout theUnited States,
makes public the most unusual
price reductions ever offered on
used cars.
This inspiring statement of
Jordan policy and these startling
price reductions are in keeping
with the spirit of the Jordan
organization.
That spirit is characterized by
a profound recognition of the
selling power of truth.
It is likewise in recognition of
that splendid confidence which
has been accorded to the Jordan
organization by the American
people since the day the company
was organized.
National Sale of Good
Used Cars
On Monday morning, August
1st, in every Jordan distributor's
sales room in the United States,
there will be displayed the finest
selection of used cars ever offered
to the public by any organization
in the industry.
And these cars will be offered
at prices which will result in
their immediate sale.
For ten days consecutively the
Jordan distributor in this city will
offer for sale the best used cars
available, strictly in accordance
with the same fine policy which
has always governed the pur
chase of a new Jordan car.
Jordans Among Cars
Displayed
The Jordan car has always
commanded higher prices in the
used car market than any car in
its class. Used car buyers tell
us, that, barring two makes of
automobiles of the cheaper class,
the Jordan has the highest pro
portionate resale valuation of
any automobile built in the world.
In this special offering of good
used cars, there will be a few
Jordans for early buyers.
For ten days, those individuals
who have been waiting for just
such an opportunity may buy a
used car from any Jordan distrib
utor with complete confidence in
the character of the car in the
condition of the car and in the
price at which it will be sold.
Two Specials Every Day
Every day, for ten days only,"
two specials will be picked for
early buyers at prices so low as
to seem ridiculous.
It is only necessary to read the
car descriptions listed below to be
convinced that this sale of used
cars is a truly remarkable one.
9 The doors will be opened at
eight o'clock. Every Jordan sales
man throughout the United
States will devote his entire time
for the ten day period to the re
ception of used-car buyers.
