TYPHUS IN BORDER OITY San Antonio, Tex,, Sept. 6.—If Francisco Villa gets within striking distance of the American expedition- ary force, General Pershing’s soldiers may join troops of the de facto gov- ernment in an offensive campaign to exterminate the bandit and his fol- Jowers. This was the statement of General Funston this afternoon. There has been no agreement be- tween Mexican and American military men for a concerted movement against Villa. General Francisco Gonzales, Carranza commander in \- northern Chihuahua, already has sent a force against the bandit, last re- ported in the Santa Clara canyon, and if the occasion arises the American commander might take part in the pursuit. >, : “That is up_t6 General Pershing,” said General Funston. Army men pointed out that Gen- eral Pershing entered Mexico to cap< ture Villa and that his object has not been accomplished. A long code message went forward late this af- ternoon from General Funston to General Pershing. El Paso, Tex., Sept. 6.—Trains leav- ing Juarez for the south today car- ried additional guards of soldiers. Mexican military authorities would not discuss reports that the step had been taken because of the northward march of Francisco Villa, said to be operating in the Santa Clara canyon. Twenty-four cases of typhus have been discovered in Juarez. Efforts are being made by United States im- migration authorities to prevent the disease being brought into El Paso. Hipolito Villa; a brother of the bandit ‘ chieftain, turned over by the federal officers to state authorities, was placed in the local county jail charged ‘ with an alleged conspiracy to destroy j a_railroad near Hancock, Tex., last ] February. New York L Carmen Will Walk Out Today New York, Sept. 6.—A strike which would tie up the subway and elevated lines of the Interborough Rapid Transit company and cause untold in- convenience in the most congested | section of the city was forecasted by \ union leaders today to begin at 2 l o’clock tomorrow morning. The company’s employes demand annulment of individual contracts, binding many of them not to seek wage increases for two years. Voting, began this morning among the men and was later abandoned in favor of a plan for balloting at mass- meetings tonight and in view of an announcement by the company that it would not consent to arbitration, it was virtually decided by the union not to await possible intervention by Mayor John P. Mitchell. The latter \ is returning to the city by automobile » from the Plattsburg military training 1 camp and is expected here tomorrow.

WOMEN ARE BUSY ALL DAY Tag day brought returns to the Visiting Nurse association. When the work was concluded last night and the cash counted, it was found that the sale of the little red tags that adorned the coats and gowns of .prac- tially “all of the Omaha men and women, as well as visitors in the city, ‘| had brought $4,140.82. This was fully up to expectations and all of the workers were well satisfied were well pleased with the results. The members of the Visiting Nurse association and the scores of women who had been assisting them were pretty tired when night came, as the day had been strenuous. They went on' duty at 8 o'clock Wednesday morning and remained continuously at théir respective posts of duty until 6 o'clock in the evening, each taking a few moments off for the noon lunch. During all the hours of their labors they worked as industriously as_if it had been for wages and no man, or woman, was too high or too low i nthe social scale to be rejected. To these workers, all people looked alike and none was allowed to escape without being solicited to buy a tag. Two Heavy Contributors, The _ two largest contributions were $100 from the Nebraska As- sociation for the Study and Pre- vention of Tuberculosis, received by Mrs. Victor Rosewater, and $50 which Joseph Hayden gave to Mrs. G. L. Bradley. The $1,000 mark had been reached by noon,-Ideal weather fav- ored the fair taggers and helped the cause along a good deal. The first tag was sold by Mrs, Al- bert Noe. Mrs. Ettinger an old lady of 87 years, was the purchaser, Dr. C. W. Pollard refused to buy a tag from any one else but sought out Mrs. W. R. Adams, the “mother” of the Visiting Nurse association, of whom he bought a tag for $10. Mrs. Barton Millard, the president, was quite ill this morning, but in- sisted on coming down town to help, in the work. Men Best Buyers. That women, proverbially tender- hearted, are the poorest givers, is the consensus of opinion with most of the taggers. “It’s either that or they don’t have the money,” said Mrs. A, L. Blair. Less prosperous looking it dividuals are more generous than the well-dressed, well-groomed men on the streets, they reported. . An. old German, attired in overalls and blue shirt, sleeves rolled up, called out to Miss Gertrude Stout, be- fore he got off the street car, that he wanted to buy a tag. Several colored men had their money ready in their hands before they had been approached to buy a tag and others walked tip to the tag- gers and asked to buy them. Drinks and Lunch. | C. R. pherman had cool drinks served to”all the taggers stationed in front of his drug store. United States bank officials arranged to have lunch- eon for the women who were counting the money in the bank. Gay badinage and repartee between tagger and tagee kept the workers in good humor all day. Geraldine Johnson, one of the pret- lticst taggers on'the street, sold a tag to a man in an auto as he waited at Sixteenth and Farnam for the traffic ‘ofiicer's signal to go ahead. “Won't you write your name on the {back of the tag?” pleaded the man of the obdurate Miss Johnson. “Oh, | please,” he begged and waited, this time, disregarding the officer’s signal | to go on. = A long line of machines was stalled on Farnam while the evidently hard- hit young man waited for his answer, until finally Officer Henderson walk- ed over, Ordered to Move On. “You'll have to move on. You are blocking the traffic,” said the big of- ficer in his most officious manner, to the attractive little tagger and her equally “fair companion, Miss Grace Robertson. Then he turned to hide his smile, for he had sensed the whole situation. But the girls stayed and sold their tags. They couldn’t help it if they were so good looking that they black- ed the traffic! Another traffic officer who bought a tag from Mrs. Will H. Thomas ex- changed a sirilar red card with her, only it was an autoist’s warning card. “Will you vote dry?” asked a man who exchanged a dry propaganda card with Miss Louise Bailey. “I've got 200 nickels in my pocket. I'm going to buy a tag from every good looking tagger who asks me to buy one,” said a man o Mrs. Jay Katz. The same man regaled her with the story of a man who was so mad- est about letting any one know of his charitable contributions that when- ever he made out a check for charity, he always signed some one else’s name to it. Mrs. William Harris sold a tag for 2 cents. A man gave Miss Harriet Walters one penny for a tag, walked -| off about a half a block, then came | back and gave her a quarter. Note of Appreciative Thanks. Mrs. Barton Millard, president of the association, sent this note to The Bee last night: “We wish to thank the people of Omaha fo rtheir liberal response to our appeal on our third annual tag ay. The co-operation of city offi- cials, the newspapers, street railway company, th emerchants and all those who generously gave their time and energy to making our tag day a finan- cial success is gratefully appreciated. It is very gratifying to the directors and nurses who carry on this work among Omaha’s sick poor to know :hat they have the support of the pub- ic. “VISITING NURSE ASSOCIA- HON. SOCIA “By NATHALIE M. MILLARD. “President.” TARIFF SEOTION OBSTACLE Emergency Tax Bill Designed to Raise Millions of Dollars Does Not Have Smooth Sailing. IT GOES TO OONFERENCE Washington, Sept. 6.—Prospects for the adjourning of congress today went glimmering when the house and senate conferees began informal discussions on the revenue bill. The conferees found some obstacles which it is hoped will be smoothed out to- morrow. The house meanwhile put in its time hearing political speeches. The senate, having nothing else to do, took up the Owen corrupt practices bill, but democratic lealers said it had no chance of passage and would be put aside whenever adjournment could be secured. Print Paper Section. Representative Mann, republican leader, declared the senate amend- ment taxing print paper above cer- tain prices would have a tendency to increase the price and drive the in- dustry to Canada. He said, however, that an ‘investigation would ‘doubt- less show no justification for rais- in%_the price. 'his bill, passed last night in the senate by a vote of 42 to 16, with five republicans voting for it, went to conference today as soon as the house had gone through the formal- n{ of naming its conferees, several of whom have been working on it informally for the last few days. It is believed their report will accept most senate amendments, including those adopted yesterday, directed against allied interference with American trade. Conference Strike Snags. At the outset the conferees en- counterer several obstacles which make it improbable that final action can be taken before tomorrow. House conferees insist on the tax on refined copper and the original munitions tax in place of the senate substitutes, Another obstacle is the senate’s per- manent annual appropriation for a tar- iff commission.. ~ The ‘house merely authorized ~the appropriation after 1917, but the senate made it mandat- ory. &epresemative Fitzgerald, chair- man of the appropriation committee seeking ‘assurances that the perman- ent appropriation for future years be dropped said today he would not per- mit a report in the house on the gen- eral deficiency bill until that was agreed to. Handicaps on The Automobile Road to Lincoln Automobilists to the state fair are warned by bulletins in the headquar- of the Omaha Automobile club of the washout of a bridge on the O-L-D highway, north of Millard. The best route now is to go to the corner 9.8 miles west of Sixteenth and Farnam streets, turn south one mile on the regular route and instead of continu- ing to Millard, turn west one mile and then south three to the highway again. This route runs west of Mil- lard, instead of through the village. An even more dangerous sretch of road is that on each side of Gretna, | for some distane where the roadbed |is excellent, but Sheriff Hutter of | Sarpy county has a speed trap, and drivers tempted into speeding -are being fined in county court. So many have been caught tf‘l’e last three days that the directors of the state fair have telephoned to the automobile club, asking members to reason with the Sarpy county officials and get them to put off their anti-speeding campaign until after the fair. Four Thousand Coal Miners in Pittshurg District Are Idle Kansas City, Sept. 6.—Reports to | the general offices here of the com- panies owning coal mines in the Pifts- burg, Kan,, district today indicate, ac- cording to the announcement of th operators, that many of the severa thousand miners who walked out on strike there yesterday had returned to work today. The operators, how- |ever, anmounced that twenty-four mines, employing approximately 4,000 men, were idle. The representatives of the miners refuse to confirm this. The'wage contract negotiations still Y(ending affect the states of Missouri, ansas, Oklahoma and Arkansas, in | which about 35,000 coal miners are employed. Milwaukee to Build Big Shop Plant at Sioux City, Iowa Sioux City, Ia, Sept. 6—A deal, which, it is said, will call for the ex- penditure of nearly $1,000,000 in Sioux City, was closed by the Chicago, Mil- waukee & St. Paul road today when land was purchased for the erection of shops and roundhouses. Road of- | ficials say the new plant will be the second largest on the entire system. It was announced that the hops will bring more than 5000 workmen to Sioux City. Work on the shops is to begin at once. U. S. CRUISER MEMPHIS, formerly the Tennessee, recently wrecked in a storm at San Domingo City. It is thought an earthquake caused the heavy ground swell which dashed the vessel against the rocks. Twenty of the dead were returning to the ship in a motor launch, when the heavy sez swamped the boat.

New high records were made by some of the popular speculative favor- ites, United States Steel for the first timé in its history touching par, which is actually equivalent to 1024, adding its recent regular and extra dividends. Mercantile Marines, which - have been, the spectacular features of the last fortnight, also scored new maxi- mumes, the preferred in the first hour gaining 4 points at 124 and the com- mon 3 at 50%. i : Copper at 59, Kelly-Springfield Tire at 8474 and Atlantic, Gulf & West Indies at 7434, furnished the other new records. 4 4 Elsewhere in the list excepting the railway division, which had shown marked restraint prior to and since the passage of the eight-hour law, gains ranged from 1 to 3 points, in- dustrials, equipments, munitions, mo- tors, metals and petroleums sharing variably in the rise. Profit taking served to reduce early advances, but fresh buying helped to check any pronounced recessions. Kennedy to Tour in Fifth and the Sixth Districts Tllis Month John L.

In view of the strong protests made against | the burial of the German airmen with | military honors, a strong force of po- lice was on duty to maintain order. The whole route to the cemetery in the little village of Potter’s Bat, where | the bodies of the Germans were | buried, was iined with police.
