e S e S S s S R O i 8—A THE OMAHA SUNDAY BE IMPROVERS TAIK LIGHT MATTERS United Body Seeking to Inter- pret Full Meaning of Pro- posed Contract. TRY TO SAVE 6-CENT RATE Wanted—A man who can read the English in the proposed electric light- ing contract and transl it so that the stipulations cannot be misunder- stood. Apply in pe-son to E. W. Sin- nett, president of the United Improve- ment Clubs’ association. Mystericus utterances were made Friday night when eighteen leaders of improvement societies gathered in the cit; hall to discuss the tenets of the new electric lighting contract and its relation to the 6-cent electric lighting rate. The whole eighteen men spoke their opinion and then voted to postpone action until the next meeting. They couldn't agree on what the clauses meant or what their future results would be. To Study It Over. The motion of R. J. Sutton of the West Leavenworth Improvement club “to go home and study it section by section,” finally prevailed, but not un- til Sutton had defied every man in the room to stand up snd tell what the contract said and what it meant to say. H. J. Matthews clinched Sutton's argument with the abrupt question, “Why should we go on record as ap- roving something about which we finow nothing?” M. J. Greevy of the Hanscom Park Improvement club and secretary of the United Improvement clubs, urged the members “not to be tools” for the commissioner. Mr. Howell is a member of the Hanscom Park club. Friends of Mr. Howell vigorously de- fended him. j “If we don’t aclept this contract,” said Mr. Greevy, “we will be tied up in litigation for years and at the end of five years, we won't be financially able to purchase any electic lighting plant. Our taxes have increased 337 per cent in the lust year and if prohi- bition passes this year, another 31 per cent will be heaped upon us! What will our taxation burdens be five years hence?” 3 President Sinnett counseled: “The fight is between Mr., Howell and the electric lighting company, and we must be careful not to be the cat's- paw of either. Howell wants a com- peting lighting company. We don't want that. But if this contract is de- feated, our 6-cent electric light rate is indefinitely postponed. The contract and the rate are mutually dependent” Oppose Referendum. Sentiment expressed was against a referendum vote if it should be a means of securing a competing plant. The improvers did not want two elec- tric light plants through any eventu- ality. . file improvement clubs represented at the meeting were Central Park, Clairmont, Druid Hill, Fontenelle Homes, Greater Omaha, Hanscom Park, Southeast, Beal and West Leav- enworth, Mrs, Ribbel's Auto Strikes Little Boy, Who is Badly Hurt Ray Gibson, 9-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Gibson, 2489 North Forty-seventh street, sustained a frac- tured skull, when he was struck b an auto driven by Mrs. George M. Ribbel, 3367 Howard street, at Forty- fifth and Burdette streets, late Friday afternoon. Mrs. Ribbel, who is the wife of G. M. Ribbel of the Ribbel Paper and Woodware company, re- orted to headquarters and was re- cased without bond. The boy, accoyding to witnesses st:pred directly in the path of the machine before Mrs. Ribbel had a chance to stop or avoid him, He was taken to St. Joseph hospital by Drs. O. Myers and Charles F. Shook, where an immediate operation was necessary. The lad is in a dangerous condition and is not expected to live. He is the only child of Mr. and Mrs. E. R, Gibson. The father is a mail clerk, and has for a number of years followed the trade of contractor and builder. In the car with Mrs. Ribbel was her daughter. The accident was witnessed by a score of persons, whose names are in the possessoin of the police. Churches in Mexico Are Used as Stables New York, Oct. 7.--In a prepared speech, entitled “The Truth About Mexico,” United States Senator Al- bert Fall of New Mexico, at a re- publican meeting here tonight, de- nounced President Wilson's policy toward the neighboring republic. The churches are owned by Mr. Carranza under his decree and are used as barracks and stables by his followers or those of some other fac- tion, Screams of a Woman Frighten Bank Robbers Covington, Ky, Oct. 7—Two young men entered the Citizens’ bank here at 3 o'clock this afternoon, at- tacked the cashier, Samuel P. Gray, and escaped with $400. They were captured in a cornfield soon after- ward, but not until after several shots _had been exchanged between them and the pursuing posse. They refused to give any names. The robbers were frightened from the bank by the screams ui a woman employe. They dropped several money packages con- taining $800 as they fled. Two Thieves Get Only ; Thump From Lone Man When Henry Mensen of Missouri Valley, was set upon by two thugs on the Eleventh strcet viaduct last nirhg he immediately unlimbered his feft and right dukes with such telling effect that the would-be bandits got nothing but bruises. . In the melee he shed his coat, which afterward he was unable to find. at Allentown, 4 Blooms- ‘This must have been a cuse being all in at the finksh. e 86 to 0, oF T winaek “Lone’’ Canadian Puts 62 Germans on Blink Ottawa, Oct. 7—~The exploit of a wounded Canadian trooper who leaped from his trench, killed and wounded many Germans and com- pelled sixty-two others to sur- render is described in a dispatch received here today from Canadian headquarters in France. The communication states that the bravery of the unnamed private made it possible for his battalion to capture 250 yards of trenches at a critical moment in the general attack. Since their offensive be- an, the dispatch says, the Cana- ians have wrested nearly three square miles of territorv from the Germans. Describing the action of the wounded private, the dispatch said: “The most aggressive gallantry was displayed by a private belong- ing to an Edmonton battalion. He was taking part in a bombing at- tack when the advance was arrest- ed in the sufiply of bombs ex- hausted. Although onc of his fingers had been blown away at the second joint by a German bomb, he jumped out >f the trench and ran along the outside, firing at Eoim blank range at the enemy, illing and wounding many of them. The remainder, sixty-two in number, thinking themselves about to be cut off, thereupon surren- dered. A recent report from Canadian headquarters in France told of a Canadian private soldier, single- handed, killing, wounding or cap- turing twenty-two Germans. Alleged Gang of Auto Thieves Taken In Three Cities Six arrests were made by Omaha police last night in connection with what officials in this city, Minneapolis and Sioux City declare to be the un- covering of an alleged automobile stealing syndicate. Simultaneously four persons were arrested in Sioux City and one arrest was made previously in Minneapolis. Those arrested in Omana are Mrs. Lewis Assman, B. Goddard, 1906 Clark street, D. S. Sullivan, Armour, S. D, D. C. Ritz, pool hall man of Sioux City, R. C. Harty, Sioux City, fA S. Swinford, switchman, Edwards lotel. The men arrested in Sioux City were Lewis Assman, drug clerk, Six- teenth and Nicholas, Omaha; Joe Sheeley, hotel man of Sioux City, Goddard of Omaha and an unidenti- fied man, The man arrested in - Minncapolis gave his name as Ben Lyon. He was arrested when an auto in which he and Bert Tyler was overturned. Tyler was killed. Lynn is said by the authorities to be a relative of a Sioux City official. His name, the police believe, is Morris. Yolice of Sioux City and Minnea- polis assert they have evidence of a huge conspiracy to steal automo- biles and dispose of them. The al- leged scheme is said by officials to steal cars in one of the three cities and dispose of them in the others. More arrests are expected to follow. Detectives John Unger, Ed Brink- man and Charles Pipkin made the arrests here, Equal Rights League Declares for Hughes Washington, Oct. 7.—Resolutions | urging that lynching be made a fed- eral offense and that persons prose- cuted for it be tried in another state from their own, were adopted today | by the National Equal Rights league in a convention here, negro delegates from twenty-five states. Another resolution criticised President Wilson for permitting seg- regation of negro civil cervi em- loyes, and declared for Charles E. Y‘lugheu for president.

Duffy's Value In Diabetes Some time ago Van Noorden, the celebrated scientist, startied the medical world with the announcement that Diabetes cases could be suc- cessfully treated with whiskey. And now comes the Rockefeller Institute with the ement that whiskey has been used by them for several months with t success for Diabetes—a more common di than is generally supposed. Many people have it and don’t know nd it is more dangerous in youth than old age, because it inclines its victims to all sorts of diseases. Hence the importance of an absolutely pure medi- cinal product, such as Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey to be used in connection with the diet your physician recommends. Here is an absolutely true statement from a grateful user, sworn to before a Notary Public. “l have used Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey and it does me a great amount of ood and | highly recommend it to any one troubled with Dial . Duffy’'s Pure fialt Whiskey "was recommended te me by & trained nurse, and since my first trial 1 am so pleased with the result that I am never without it. | ¢an truly recommend it as prescribed to all who are afflicted by Diabetes.”—Mrs. Theresa Winterstein, 189 E. 100th Street, New York City. Now, no elaims for Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey are ever put forth that have not been proven in actual practice, neither do unprejudiced physicians over hesitate to recommend this valuable remedy to all those whose systems need building up, for Duffy's is a most excellent and invigorating tonic stimul A tablespoonful in equal amounts of water or milk before meals and on retiring, bene- fits the digestion and assists assimilation, enabling thousands to “Get Duffy’s and Keep Well” Sold in sealed bottles only.

Attempts made by leaders to expel them from the union were tabled, after a lively debate in which charges and counter charges were made by exponents of the cause of the union and the men accused. The vote of the investigating committee was con- curred in by the Central body, but the expulsion plans were defeated. Henry Beal leeared to recom- mend amending the workmen's com- pensation act, attacking certain pro- visions as crude and ineffective. Accept Ground for Site For Church Sanitarium Boston, Oct. 7—The acceptance of a gift of twenty acres of land in Brooklyn, on which it is proposed to build a sanitarium, to be conducted by the Mother Church, was an- nounced by the Christian Science board of directors tonight. The step was taken in accordance with the wishes of the founder of the church, Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, who pro- posed to the directors in 1909 that the mother church should “egtablish and maintain a Christian Science resort for the so-called sick.” SOGIALIST TELLS OF WRONGS DONE Vice Presidential Oandidate Kirkpatrick Says Speeches Burdened With Malice.
