ALFRED HENRY LEWIS Shoots Straight and Hits Hard Before traveling with Mr. Taft through Wisconsin to Winona by way of Milwaukee, let me go back for a moment to Beverly and Auv- gust. The hour was evening. The reporters-—that flattered yet no less hated litter—had retired to their inkish lairs. Mr. Taft, in his rocking chair of double width and strength, was seated upon his Beverly porch. His manner was one of anxious wait- ing, and since no sun meant no camera, the usual smile had faded from his face Off shore a yacht—chattel of a Trust magnate—was heading for the land. It had spent the after- noon over beyond the rim of the world, out of reach of casual eyes. Now, under cloud of night, it was steaming in with all the skulking secrecy of a smuggler. The Trust yacht ran in shore as close as good seamanship would warrant, and then landed four gentlemen by means of Its small boat. The four were not without notoriety, however far they might fall short of fame. They were Speaker Cannon, Mr. McKinley of Illinols, Mr. Hemenway of Indiana and Mr. Sibley of Pennsylvanie, Speaker Cannon—-1 need not say —1s a8 the right hand of Money to smother Congressional investiga- . . . . . tion of its villanies, and forge what law tools are need- ed to carry on its rapines. Just as there are black- smiths who find account in mak- ing burglar tools, so, too, we have Congressional blacksmiths ready to furnish what law jimmies are required by criminal Money in pry- ing loose the shutters of popular weal. Mr. Hemenway, Mr. McKin- ley and Mr. Sibley, also on the side of evil Money, act as its fleld mar- shals of legislation in its wars upon Man. Mr. Sibley, indeed, is that careless one who wrote let- ters to Standard OIl Archbold, comforting that little, grimy thumb of Satan with tales of how he (Mr. Sibley) was frightening Mr. Rose- velt, The quartette, being landed, went cat-foot to Mr. Taft's. Oh, It was all right! Nothing specifically disastrous was planned against the house or its belongings. The furtive four were, in fact, there by invitation of Mr. Taft. Only, in his letter to Mr. Cannon arranging the visit, Mr. Taft had gaid that unless it could be man- aged “without getting into the pa- pers,” it was a pleasure he would prefer to forego. . . . . The above is the opening of Mr, Lewis' second article on “Travel- ing With Taft."

HUMAN LIFE PUBLISHING COMPANY, 520-540 Atlantic Ave., Boston, SAYS CRIME IS A DISEASI Bad Digestion Warps Mental Attitude and Lowers Moral Tone. FOOD STUFFING HURTS INTELLECT Eating Too Much More Apt to Nour- 1sh Body Poorly Than Eating Too Little, . tomach Man. Cooper Is crime a disease? Does morality hinge on the mentality, and is a man good or wicked according as his health is normal or his stomach s out of order? The Cooper “‘stomach man,” as he Is called in the east, claims that this Is true. He was meeting callers vesterday at the drug de- partment of the Brandels stores. He sald “I bellove that 9 per cent of all ill health is caused by stomach trouble. And I be lieve the stomach affects the mentality and that the condition of a man's think- ing apparatus controls his conduct as a cltizen. Experts on criminology prove by statistios that practically all crimes are committed by individuals of weak men tality and poorly nourished bodies. Medi- cal records show that a disordered mental attitude results from a disordered nervous system “A man doesn't have to eat too little to bave a poorly nourished body. A poorly nourished body s far more apt to result from eating too much. A man stuffs him- selt with rich food, falls to take exercise as nature intended, and then gets dopey, droopy, tired and half sick. He wonders why. It's as simple as A, B, C. With such a mass of food in his stomach it be- comes overloaded, won't work and he is poorly nourished. He has bad dreams, gets o warped view of everything. The whole world sgems to be against him. If this has been going on from his earliest babyhood he becomes a criminal “I have a medicine that I know will put a stomach in & normal, healthy condition in four to six weeks' time. I have talked with Omaha people since I have been in Omaha, and many thousands more in the east before I came here. Not one person out of 20 knew what was the matter with themselves. I know that all this chronio 1l health is caused primarily by stomach trouble and nothing else. 1 also know that the preparation I came here to introduce will tone up the digestive organs, and I know that mighty few persons can be sick with a digestive apparatus in perfect shape.” KENNEDY NAMES COMMITTEES President of Doard of Education Amnounces Groupings of Mem- bers for Year Now Begun.

Ure's attempt to Intervene and prevent the compromise between Frank \. Broadwell and the Board of County Commissioners, struck a snag before Judge Kennedy. It may be that Mr. Ure ha been too late with his petition to intcr vene and to vacate judgment. When court convened, Broadwell did not appear to be represented by an attorney. E. P. Smith, telephoned for, came Into court and declared that he had refused service on & notice of this motion of intervention, for he thought his rights as an attorney had ended, when the judgment by stipulation was entered, and the judg ment satisfled by Broadwell's tendering payment of the $1,250 to the clerk of dis- iriet court. When the compromise with the commis- sioners was reached the other day, a Jjudgment by confession was entered be- fore the court in the sult, which bears on the matter, entitled, “The County of Dous- las versus Frank J. Broadwell." “Moreover," added Mr. Smith, to Intervene is a statutory one and it is provided that intervention must take place before a judgment is entered and be- fore judgment s satisfied by payment.” Judge Kennedy sald he would like to hear at a future date authorities on Ure's right to intervene, and added that the court could of its own motion vacate a judgment within the same term.” The case has thus gone over the right Fanning Off to Call on Sphinx Faithful Dahlmanite, J. H. McDonald and Louis Metz Leave for Foray Upon Egypt. The anclent land of Kgypt was In a fer- ment last night. From Cairo to Khar- toum, up and down the Nile, excitement reigned. Fellahs ran around in rings, Mus- sulmen almost forgot to pay devoir to their deity, camels broke tether, the har- hor of Alexandria turned on more power for the searchlights sweeping the Mediter- ranean, the Khedivial court quit intriguing, and even the British consul general was aroused from habltual calm. For the land of Egypt had just learned for the first time that It is once more to be invaded. Egypt should be fairly well used to in- vasions. The thing began way back in the time of the Shepherd kings. Assyrians and Babylonians descended upon Egypt, the Greeks under the first Ptolemy seized the country, Jullus Caesar made a play there and a little later Octavius Caesar drove off the throne the last Ptolemy and Mark Antony. Crusader and Mussulman contended for Egypt and horde after horde of the latter sucoessively invaded and conquered the country. Nepoleon taok a whirl, and last of all, the British bombarded Alexandria and stayed on. But the coming of Colonel Fanning, and Arthur Guiou, Louis Mets ana J. H.

There were at hand several flock of the faithful.

COST OF MAKING DRUNKARD Nebraska City Saloon Keeper’s Assets Go to Meet Judgment—Widow Recovers Damages. \ Deputy United States Marshal McCallum has returned from Nebraska City where he wound up the affairs of H. F. Schoder, a former Nebraska City saloon keeper, by the sale of the last of his property, yet leaving a big deficlency judgment. The so0ld was ten shares of bullding and loan assoclation stock, and the undi- vided half interest In the lot and bullding in which the saloon was located The case Is a pecullar one In that Schoder had been sued by his sureties, the United Statets Fidelity and Guaranty | company, who obtained a judgment against him In the federal courts at Lincoln. Herman F. Schoder was doing a thriving business as a saloon keeper in Nebraska City a few years 2go, when sult was rought against him and his bond, the United States Fidelity and Guaranty com- pany, by Rebecca Bond, who alieged that | her husband had been debauched and made a drunkard through patyonizing Schoder's saloon, and had subsequently dled from | such dissipation. Judgment was given Mrs. Bond against the guaranty company for $5,400 in the federal court at Lincoin, which Judgment the guaranty company promptly paid. The guaranty company then immediately brought suit against Schoder, who in the meanwhile had tianeferred his property to his wife. Sult was also brought against Schoder, the transfers of property sot aside, and an execution was ordered against all of the Schoder property, for the full amount of the damages pald by the guaranty company to Mrs. Bond The first salc of the property under the execution was made November 1, 160, and the sale continued until Janu 3. The latter sales included all of the saloon fix- tures and property of Bchoder, and still leaves & deficiency judgment against him. CORSETS Faultless in every detail.

GARBAGE ORDINANCE PASSED Contractor Axtell Released and Ofty Will Attempt to Have Work Dome by Private Contractoes Under District System. A committee of four from the Omaha Woman's club attended the meeting of tho city counecll last evening, and the presence of the women gave halt a dozen council- men an oppertunity to toss bouquets in a most graceful manner. The pending garbsge ordinance, recom- mended for passage, was the occasion of the visit. When the stage of committee reports was reached President Burinester invited the women to address the council on the subject of garbage removal. Mrs. Elizabeth Sears said that, under all the circumstances, they had decided (o be ellent, and not to ulter flowery speeches about something they were alleged to know nothing about. *“We will sit at the feet of the counéll,” she sald, “and learn wis- dom.” Mrs. Sears was smiling sweetly, as she spoke. Invitations Are Urgent. Councliman McGovern led off with a most nifty Invitation to the Woman's club delegation to let the councill in on some of the knowledge with which he Insisted housewlves are plentifully supplied. Coun- cllmen Johnson, Bridges, Berka and Hum- mel also extended warmly encouraging in- vitations to get the women into the speech- making humor. ‘They pald many exoceed- ingly nice compliments to the housewives of the city as about the best and wisest to be found anywhere, and pleaded for ug- gestions or amendments that would make the ordinance just the finest that could be framed. Mrs. B. M. Johnson, Omaha Woman's club, moments to say that, advised, it was too late to attempt to alter the ordinance. Further, she wanted it understood that a gentleman, who on Monday afternoon said he was authorized to speak for the club had no such asuthor- ity. Further urging was indulged in by the councilmen who sought enlightenment, but the women sat still and contented them- selves with smiling acknowledgments. Districts as Established.
