While speaking at the delication of the new home of the American Fed- eration of Labor here President Wil- sop was heckled by Miss Mabel Ver- non, a Nevada suggrage leader. It was admitted today at the head- uarters of the Con?renional Union or Suffrage- that Miss Vernon's ac- tion was part of a plan which will be continued “as a demonstration of the growing dissatisfaction with this ad- ministration’s treatment of the woman suffrage amendment.” Mr., Wilson had declared that, as president, he was not at libcr}y to think of any one class of persons, when Miss Vernon, who was in the stand directly behind him, rose and said in shrill voice: “If you truly desire to serve all classes, why do you block the na- tional suffrage amendment now be- fore congress? Four million women in _this country”—— Miss Vernon was pushed back into her seat by the police as the president tried to quiet the uproar that followed. A few moments later Miss Vernon again broke in on Mr. Wilson's speech. She was rushed to the street. e Russian Iron Proves to Be Stronger Than German Steel Petrograd (Via London), July 11.— A dispatch to the Russky Slovo from southwestern headquarters says: “When news of the rolling up of the Austrian fourth army and the forcing of the defences of Lutsk was received in Berlin the emperor ordered the im- mediate -dispatch thither of the best available forces of the strategical re- serves in France. The first troogl sent to support the Austrians were the i|Tenth Imperial corps, including the Twentieth Brunswick, the so-called ‘steel division,’ concerning whose prowe numerous legends have arisen in Germany. | “The corps reathed Vladimir- Vol‘ynlki and was hurled next day against General Kaledi rm¥. The collision occurred at Kiselin, half way between Vliadimir-Volynski ~ and Lutsk. The onslaught of the German division was met by a Russian division which in the earlier stages of the war won the name of the Iron division. Agdvancing to the attack, the Germans fired tens of thousands of shells in an uninterrupted cannonade for four days and nights; then charge followed charge and one after another broke. Russian iron was proof against German steel. ' “During a short lull on the evening of the second day the Germans dis- played signboards above their trenches bearing the inscription, ‘Your Rusian iron is no worse than the German steel, but all the same, we shall smash you.’ “The Russians retorted, ‘Come on and wy.' $ “The Brunswicks resumed their charges throughout the day and night, but next morning the Russians sud- denly delivered a smashing counter Doctor Says e attack at an unexpected point and overthrew two battalions, capturing a number of cannon and machine guns. “After the forty-second attack the remnants of the steel division were withdrawn and are now at Vladimir- Volynski, awaiting reorganization. The corps in four days’ fighting lost three-quarters of its officers and half its men. The Russian losses also were heavy.” Edgar Man Hangs Self in His Barn Edgar, Neb,, July 11.—(Special.)— A. J. Nickolls was found dead in his barn yesterday morning at 5 o'clock, where he hanged himself to a beam.

ELIMINATIONS T0 Fight for Positions in Annual Omaha Speedway Races This Afternoon. ALL BUT FOUR OARS ON JOB BY FRED 8. HUNTER. The elimination trials which will determine those drivers who will be permitted to participate in the annual Omaha speedway races Saturday, and also the positions in which they will lineup to receive the flag, will be started at the speedway this after- noon at 3 o'clock. In order to qualify for the gasoline classic, a speed of at least seventy- five miles an hour must be attained. But the pilots will not be content to negotiate a mere seventy-five miles | an hour in the eliminations. Far be | it from such. For upon the speed made in the eliminations depends participation in the big race. Only sixteen cars will be allowed to take the track in the 150-mile derby. There are twenty-three cars entered. Thus seven cars must be eliminated. And it will be the seven slow cars which will be forced out. In addition position at the start of the race depends upon the speed. The car turning the fastest lap will be awarded the pole, the seconnd fastest car second position and so on down the scale to the sixteenth car which will bring up in the rear. All But Four Here. All but four of the twenty-three drivers are now in Omaha. {luzhie Hughes, who wil pilot. Chadrles Devlin’s Duesenberg, and Ira Vail, who tools a Huduo@, are the latest to arrive, Earl Cooper, Tommy Milton, Billy Muller and C. W.

CITY DADS WAGE COUNCIL CLAS future questioning of the company’s | rights. Howell Gets a Rebuke. General Manager Howell ‘of the water plant asked for the privilege of the floor, which was granted for a few minutes, during which he told the council that the Te Poel resolu- tion in effect would grant the street railway company a perpetual fran- chise. “When I want legal advice from you, Mr. Howell, T will send for you,” §| sharply replied the mayor, The ma{or and Mr. Butler went to the mat for a second fall over the roposition of passing upon a special evy of $70,000 for further motoriza- tion of the fire department next year, this amount to be certified in the next general levy. The committee of the whole took action on this Monday, when Mr, Butler was in Minneapolis, and Mr. Butler took occasion to say he had not been accorded the usual| courtesy of an absentee. “I haven't observed that you have been so liberal with your courtesies,” observed the mayor. Resolution Goes Through. The resolution went through. Com- missioner Withnell will have $70,000 more for motor apparatus next year. The atmosphere had cooled down to about normal again, when the clerk read a resolution which made the mayor jump up as if he had been struck by a bomb shell. “What's that?” asked the mayor of “It’s a resolution offered by Bytler, directing the clerk to advertise for three days in the official paper for bids for the removal of the structure at Eighteenth and Farnam streets, known as the Welcome arch,” stated the clerk. A dead silence for a few seconds. Innocent bystanders instinctively mayor. This from Butler: “If a man has his brother come out from New York, the visitor's name is placed on the arch, which' was intended for wel- coming conventions.
