Beans Not Plentiful.
' Beans are not so plentiful in Ne
braska National guard rationing as
wbuld be imagined from reading the
history of Boston's favorite and its
relation to army life. The use of
the navy bean has been restricted
somewhat thus far at the National
guard camp and the only army ra
tions which have lived up to' their
fame are "Canned -Willy.".; and coffee.
The former has been served the
guardsmen at every meal since they
arrived and the latter : is, given out
in .quantities of bathtub size. Toma
toes, apple sauce, hot biscuits and
butter, potatoes, tomatoes with some
pie are amqng.the rations which the,
Nebraska'mcn arc receiving.

Death by fire wilf not be frequent
among the Nebraska guardsmen.
The quartermasters corps fire truck,
which protects the camp, is as com
plete in its equipment as any fire
truck of the Nebraska cities. One
alarm wa, sounded Thursday in the
Nebraska area when a cook stove,
which had not'been used-since the
world war and which was not prop
erly banked by earth, smoked a few
planks in the floor of one of the Ne

as Lewis but failed.
Indicted on Three Counts.
"W. L. Lewis was indicted by a
grand jury on three counts, but
United States District Attorney
Moon of Iowa decided not to hold
me. ' ' I was released and was about
to return to my home in Aberdeen
when -1 was arrested in Omaha by
federal authorities, again under the
name of W. L. Lewis, and again
charged with using the mails to de
fraud in Omaha.
"Thomas ;FIynn, then United
States marshal, knew cf a certaihity
it was impossible for me to have
been mixed up in the mail :'frafids,
and knew iny name was Jackson,
not Lewis. He would have cleared
me had it not been for his death.
In County Jail
"J. B. Nickerson, chief deputy,
knows of the private conversation I
had with Mr. Flynn and knows that
he called me Dr. Jackson. How
sorry I have been since that Mr.
Nickerson was not taken into our
confidence!
"I was taken to the Douglas
county jail and again held for the
action of a federal grand jury. On
April 13, i920, Lewis again was in
dicted on the charge of using the
mails to defraud in Nebraska.
"A few days later Judge Wood
rough heard my case. I pleaded not
guilty and was taken back to jail
where I remained until January 30,
1920. About .April 20 I was taken
seriously ill. Sherman ' G. Clayton,
jailer, removed me to the jail hos
pital. I lost control of my physical
and mental faculties temporarily,
Fears Prosecutions.
"It was in this condition I verbally
agreed with Postoffice Inspector Co
ble and later with Assistant United
States District Attorney Peterson
that if all cases in which Lewis was
implicated were dropped I would
plead guilty to the defraud case here
in Nebraska.. I feared I would be
dragged about the country answering
for some more of Lewis' crimes.
"I understood I was to get a short
sentence, but Judge Woodrough gave
me the maximum, five, years, less
four months' time I was in jail in
Omaha. This was on June 16, 1920.
I was sentenced in the name of ,W
L. Lewis and for the crime alleged
to have been commftted by him in
Omaha between October . 9 to 13,
1919, although I was at rhy home,

S. D., from August 15, 1919, until
October 15, 1919, when I left for

The prisoner says he can prove he
is Dr. Jackson if given the oppor
tunity by substantial citizens of
Aberdeen, S. D., and of Ellendale,
N. D. He asks the United States
attorney to bring the "facts" of his
case to the personal notice of the
president and the attorney general.
"I am 65 years old; my only son
served overseas two years during
the war, and I purchased $52,000
worth of first issue Liberty bonds
in 1917," the prisoner declares.

To the communication is attached
a letter purporting to be from S.

are acquainted with Dr. Jackson.
He is well educated, but in ill

he be released. He has served
about a year, they say.

would be faced with a graver sit
uation in regard to Ireland, than that
with which we have ever been con
fronted. "Whatever these terms may ac
complish and may have done there
is one thing they have achieved.
They have defined the issues more
clearly than er before and rejection
would be an unmistakable challenge
to the authority of the crown and the
unity of the empire, and no party in
the state could possibly pass that
over without notice.
Ready for Exigency.
"If there is rejection and final re
jection beyond hope of negotiations,
steps will undoubtedly have to ' be
taken which the executive ought not
and won't wish to take without first
consulting Parliament and giving it
full opportunity of expressing ap
proval or disapproval of any steps
we might propose to it."
The premier explained that the mo
tion to adjourn was for the house
to meet October 18, for formal pro
rogation if the negotiations were
proceeding satisfactorily. If the ne
gotiations broke down and the posi
tion became hopeless, he added, the
speaker was empowered, after con
sultation with the government to
summon Parliament on 48 hours no
tice. Hopes for Peace.
The executive, said the prime
minister, would feel authorized to
take any necessary urgency mea
sures, but would not, therefore delay
the summoning of parliament.
. In concluding Mr. Lloyd George
said:
"The government is sincerely de
sirous that peace should be secured
and that the long misunderstandings
sometimes sulky, sometimes savage,
which make so many chapters of
I'ritish history painful reading, mis
understandings between these two
peoples who ought to live in peace
and harmony even in affection, to
gether, should be brought to !.n end.
In spite of the disquieting facts, I
hope reason will prevail even over
logic and that the Irish leaders will
not reject the largest measures of
freedom ever offered their rountry
and take the rcspbnsibility of renew
ing a conflict which would be robbed
of all glory by its overshadowing
horrors.

This was made known when a
local newspaper attempted to inter
view Mrs. Stillman in connection
wit ha story from Kansas City about
the alleged discovery of a plot
against her life.
"Mrs. Stillman's condition," said
Mr. McCormick, 'is such that I deem
it inadvisable to bring this matter
to her attention at this time. She
is in a highly nervous condition, bor
dering on prostration, as a result of
the severe strain she has been through
during the past few. months. Under
these circumstances, I do not believe
we should tell her. Ju.st. as. soon as
we deem it advisable, however, we
shall communicate the , news.to, her.
I feel sure, however, that she. will
have no statement to make ..at the

New York, Aug. 19. Attorneys
and detectives connected with the
Stillman case scoff at the story com
ing out of Kansas City, purporting
to-be a confession of - a man who
was employed to assassinate Mrs.
Stillman. These men " characterize
the "confession" as pure bunk.
Norman Fitzsimmons, detective
and body guard to Mrs. S.tillm.an,
said: r
"This man is crazy. You will note
that his name is similar to that of
the man who claimed to have killed
Elwell. I wouldn't be surprised if
it was the same man trying his
"confession" stunt over again, but
changing the scene a bit, and sub
stituting Mrs. Stillman for Elwell."
