Wilson of Portland, Ore., in an address to a crowd which filled the Boyd theater. This figure, ‘he said, represented the dry majority in Oregon two years ago, and he de- clared that observations he had made in Nebraska convinced him this state will go dry with at legst that many votes to spare. Mr. Wilson’s address followed a brief prohibitiog argument de by J. K. Codding,“warden of the state penitentiary of Kansas. He related ad- vantages, Oregon enjoys under prohi- bition and his remarks were frequent- ly interrupted by applause. Warden Codding submitted statis- tics to prove that liquor is in a large way responsible for crime and he gave figures to show that Aqlerica is the greatest “crime nation™ in the world. This, he asserted,is due to the American saloon, which, he de- clared, is in a class by itself.-He de- scribed prosperous conditions which have axisted in Kdnsas City, Kan,, since saloons were driven out in 1906, and of numerous defeats mct since by open town candidates, H ~ “It is true’ we had a carnival of crime in Kansas,” he said, “but if Ne- braska and Missouri were dty, this wauld not be so.” Posters, issued by ‘the Prosperity league, which state that there are nipety-seven murderers confined in thé Kansas penitentiary are false, he asserted, “There are forty-two,” he said. know, "cause I got 'em.” Omaha, Couple-in, Motor Smash Upon Way to the Parson (From a Staff Correspondent.)

Hall, the lecturer’s business agent, and said he did not know who killed Black. After three other witnesses had been examined the defense rested. Copeland did not once, contradict himself. 'He said the lecturer was the first to draw his gun. Shows Wound. The most dramatic moment of the trial €ame when he bared his body to show the jury the wound in his abdomen he received when fired on by Hall, so far ghe chief witness for the state. He testified that as a re- sult of this and two other wounds, he months, In response to questioning, .Cope- land said he went to- confer with Black and to protest_ against his dex livering a second lecturé in Marshall attacking the institutions of the Ro- man Catholic church. He declared he would not have made the trip if he had thought trouble woulfl result. He armed himself, howéver, he tes: tified, because,he had been warned that Black was “a bad man.” There is a possibility that the jury will receive the case tomorrow night. Attended School at Convent. Copeland said he had been cashier of the Marshall State bank for the | last eleven years and that he had| beeh married nineteen years, had a 12-year-old daughter and was a mem- ber af the Roman Catholic church and the Knights of Columbus. He said there was a Catholic convent in Mar- shall and that his daughter attended school there. ' His three sisters also attended school at the convent. On the morning of February 3, he ‘said, he went to the bank as usual and there heard about a lecture de- livered by William Black the night before. John B. Teese, who worked in the bank, told him, he said, and showed him Black’s circular. “Teese told me that Black in his speech denounced priests and nuns and declared the, confessional infam- ous and’iniquitous,” said Copeland. Always Went Prepared. !“Teese said that Black in the lec- ture stated that he had had several en- counters with Catholics, carried seven bullets and one stab wound he had received from Catholics, was always on'the outlook for trouble and weqt always prepared.” ; *Copgland said he discussed the lec- ture with several persons that day. He considered it “a “djrect attack on my home.” Among those he talked with were eorge Ryan, an attorney and John Rogers, a contractor. That evening, he said, he went by appointment to meet Ryan and Rogers and the three went to the hotel to see Black. “Were you armed?” . “Yes,” replied the witness. “I had the .41 caliber Colt which was offered in evidence. I did not deem it safe to go without it. I had been warned was incaq.acitatcd for nearly four lecture, all right.

And I re- membered that in his lecture the night before, Black had said he was pre- pared. 3 "Was'Rozers armed?” “No.” | “Was Ryan armed?” ) “I couldn’t say about that. Didn’'t Kill Black. “Mr. Copeland,” said Mr, Royston, suddenly, “who killed Black?” “I don’t know,” said the witness. “Did you shoot Black?”- “No, sir.” “Did you shoot at Black?” “No, sir.”y Capeland said he did not ordinarily go armed. He said Black laid down his books snd took a scat on a stool. In this situation, he explained, Black faced John Rogers, while he, Copeland, stood at the lecturer’s left. “I said to Black,” testified the wit- ness, “‘Mr. Black, we've come up here to enter a fro(est against the lecture you're billed to deliver to- night. ‘We don’t like that character of lecture. “Black, in an insolent manner, re- plied, ‘It isn't what you like you're ‘going to get.’ . “Rogers pointed his finger at Black and said, ‘You're not<going to’ deliver that lecture; you know it isn't right.’ Black said, ‘I'm going to deliver that Brings Out Gun, “With that,” Copeland said, “Black brought out his automatic.” A shot was fired, the witness con- e i st s tinued in answer to questions. He himself did not fire it. Rogers sort of pitched forward. He was dazed for an instant, he said, and then he put his hand on Rogers and let him down to the floor. “Just as I was straightening up,” Copeland declared, “I saw that Hall was shooting ‘at me. I got out my gun and fired, After that my gun snapped, but did not discharge.” He lowered his gun and walked out of the room. ! “What had all you men agreed on before you went to see Black?" the witness was asked on cross examina- tion. “To use agy reasonable argument or, if necessary, tell him he should not slander and outrage us any more.” Rev. James M. Kirwin, vicar general of the diocese of Galveston, testified about the requirements for the priest- hood. Sam J. Williams, a fourth de- gree Knight of Columbus, read the fourth degree oathy of the Knights of Columbus. It was in part as follows: “I swear to support the constitution of the United States, I pledge myself as a Catholic citizen and Knight of Columbus, to enlighten myse)f fully upon my duties as a citizen“and to conscientiously perform such duties entirely in the iuterest of my country and regardless of all personal conse- quences.

GOVERNMENT T0 HELP FIND WORK Federal Co-Operation With Employment Agency Soon to Be Established Here. STATE WILL LEND HAND An employment bureau operated jointly by the federgl, state and city governments will be established in Omaha within the next month, This was practically decided last evening when Anthony Caminetti, United States Comniissioner General of Im- migration, addressed the Welfare board on the subject. T. F\ Sturgess presided. State Labor Commissioner Coffey, Mayor Dahlpan and several city commissioner'met with the board. The oftice of the new employment bureau will probably be in a large room in the basement of the court house. The government franking priv- ilege for all correspondence will be part of the federal contribution to the bureau. Similar co-operative bureaus have been established in various other cities, Mr. Caminetti stated that in the state of Washington the bureaus had furnished 4,900 men to pick the berry crop this year, a crop that has often been largely wasted Eccau:e of lack of labor. ashington has legis- lated the private employment bureau out of existence. To Stabilize Labor. “This co-dperative bureau you will find, stabilizes labor,” said Mr. Cam- inetti, ““It takes. men from places where they are not needed and puts them where they are needed,, It deals with the great problem of “seasonal employment. Employers everywhere are co-operating enthusiastically.” He gave a detailed description of the working of the bureaus. An “op- ortunity 1ist” is one of its features. his list is posted in every postoffice in the state and gives descriptions of various jobs that are waiting to be filled. Comupissioner Coffey had something to say about the evil of the private employment agencies: “A Bohemian walked from Wilbur Main Aisle Attend the Closed Cat'- Salon SEE the latest o{ler\ltfiu of the manufacturers in winter auto- 2 mobiles—limousines, broughams, coupes, cabriolets and sedans—all .the new.models for the season. luxury in automobiles, Brandeis Stores | to my office in Lincoln the other day,” he said. “He had paid his last dollar y an employment agent who had sent him to Wilbur after a job that didn't exist. .~ $ “Eleven men were sent out to North Platte not long ago on a false chase after jobs alleged to pay $3 a day. “A man with a large family came to my office. He had heard of a job at $35 a month with house free and fuel and butter and eggs. But it took $2 to learn where that job was and he didn't have $2. The state had made insufficient provision to bring ‘juhs and men together." Jardine Gives Experience. City Commissioner Jardine thought | with “laborers” who don't. want to work. He told of a personal experi- ence when he went to St. Louis, picked out 135 men out of 5000 had them washed and shaved and started for Omaha with them. On the way fifty of them disappeared. They didn’t want work. The bureau to'be established here will provide work not only for com- mon laborers, but for professional people, such as teachers. There will also be a special department for woman and girls. Mr. Caminetti will return to Omaha in about twenty | days, by which time it is expected the final arrangements will be made fon the establishment of the Omaha bu- reau. e ObregorT and Gonzales In Brotherly Embrace Mexico City, Oct»27.~At a meet- ing of the new gonstitutional liberal party General Obregon, the war minister, in a speech declared that there was no truth in the reports of the existence of bad feeling be- tween him and General Gonzales, the minister of communications. Gon- zales then embraced him amid the applausy of those assembled.
