While the final signatures of the pugilists have not been secured, the verbal consent of both heavy- weights has been obtained and they | are now waiting for the articles of agreement to be forwarded to them. The sum of $40,000 from the profits of the match is to go to a French war relief fund, and it was on account of this arrangement that permission was obtained for the release of Carpentier from the French army. Final contracts for the contest are expected to be signed by Promoter Tex Rickard and the representatives of the pugilists here within a few days. The date and place of the bout has not yet been definitely decided, but the battle will probably be staged in Madison Square Garden or a simi- lar place. _ The match has been in the making for several months and the corre- spondence and other arrangements, both domestic and foreign, lift the promotion of the bout within a notch or two of international displomacy. Carpentier, soldier of the European heavyweight championship, has been servinfi with the French army since virtually the beginning of the war. He has repeatedly refused excellent offers to re-enter the prize ring, as it was impossible for him to secure the furlough necessary from the French army authotities, Rickard, who has gained pugilistic fame as the promoter of the Johnson- Jefferies, Nelson-Gans and Willard- Moran bouts, with their record putses, failed in all his early attempts to bring the. French and American champions together. It was not un- til he enlisted the aid of the members of one of the French relief commit- tees that the contest was made pos- sible. Pressute was brought to bear To Raise Funds by Saving All Paper | Saving paper, rags and junk is one | method Nebraska suffragists have de- | vised to raise money for the suffrage | campaign.

Brains Bring Hay To Omaha Bxchange Solve your own car shortage prob- Hay exchange. This organization is less than a year old, yet it has in- genuity so clever that it recently in- creased the available cars for hay hauling by an even 100. How? Why just by making an in- genious suggestion to the Union Pa- cific, a' suggestion so timely and so practical that the company took up with it immediately. The Omaha hay dealers were cry- ing for hay, and the hay growers in the Platte valley were crying for cars to ship their hay in. So the Omaha Hay exchange discovered that the big tun of range cattle is over and that live stock cars are available. They asked the Union Pacific to line some of these cars with tar paper and let them use them for hay. The Union Pacific thought the matter over and decided to go one better. Instead of |efsing tar paper, the company used pine lumber and boarded the cars up inside. They equipped 100 cars thus in a few days, and today hay is roll- lem, that is the slogan of the Omaha~ Too many wild west movies—of the | type in which the hero “draws from the hip to kill’—were responsible for the shooting of Arthur Barnes, a | South Side negro lad, in the opinion | of Probation Officer Gus Miller, / Barnes is at the South Side hos- pital in a precarious condition, a bul- holding out but scant hopes for his |recovery. He was shot by his chum, | Ben Bell, 4921 South Twenty-sixth | street, at whose home he was spend- | ing the night. Juvenile court officials say the boys have always been the best of friends. Mr. Miller believes that Bell, his imagination running } riot |as the result of frequent visits toy mo- | tion picture shows offering films of | the “one step farther, Dog-Eared | George, and I'll shoot you down like the dog that you are” brand of films, committed the deed on the impulse of the moment. The juvenile court official’s theory is that Bell was sud- denly struck with the desire to ex- perience the sensation of shooting an- other human being and find out for himself if it provided the thrill as in- dicated by lurid screen “screamers.” Governor Morehead Speaks at Beatrice Beatrice, Neb., Dec. 5.—(Special.) —The new school building and audi- torium at the feeble minded institute will be dedicated Friday evening, De- cember 15.

John Sullivan Gets Membership No. 1 in Ak-Sar-BeP for 1917 There are already a dozen paid-up members of Ak-Sar-Ben for 1917, and that year has not yet started. No effort has been made to solicit membership for 1917. Nothing is ever done until aftet the first of the year. But as many as a dozen men have al- ready come in and volunteered their $10 bills for membership. . John Sullivan took membership No. 1 for 1917. Mogy Bernstein has paid for No. 1 in 1918 and for ten years | from that date. He gave his check for $100 many months ago and spoke for the first membership for every year for ten years, beginning in 1918, Arapahoe Woman Writes Lullaby Arapahoe, Neb., Dec. 5.—(Special.) —A lullaby has hold of the town. Its words were written by Mrs. M. A, Clark and its music by Leader Vik- to Arapahoe in the opera house on ‘. The eclusiveness of the Coconino county, Arizona, wild horses was told at some length by Ed Mason, cow- puncher and cattleman of Mitchell, Neb,, testifying before Judge Joseph Woodrough of the United States dis- [ trict court in connection with the cele- | brated “Arizona wild horse case” on Tuesday afternoon. Mason testified that he met Clyde Smith and his brother in Omaha in 11910 and through a deal with the for- mer made arrangements to get twen- ty-five of the wild horses for some property he owned at Villisca, la., valued at $1,500. He was almost tempted to back out, he said, when he | was told that he would have to go out and catch the horses himself, but after being assured that the undomsticated equines would weigh in the neighbor- hood of 1,000 pounds each, as his con- tract specified, he declared that he thought he would take a chance at gathering in some of the wild horses, especially as he was a cowman. 'Twas a Different Story. But it was different, he testified, when he went to Falstaff, Ariz, to corral his stock. For ten days, with the aid of four cowpunchers, he was not able to rope in a single wild ani- tal, nothwithstanding the fact that he had been a “puncher” all his life. Coconino county is only about 245 by 186 miles in area, and Rlnsou was re- solved that he should have some of the horses, which, he declared, he had seen but had been unable to get with- in a half-mile of. Accordingly, some time later, he said, he set out in search | of the elusive animals, and in the | course of six months of constant camping on their trails he was able to lasso and bring home twenty-three horses. These, he testified, were very small and weighed much less than the 1,000 pounds Smith had assured him the animals would tip the scales at. After halter-breaking the “broncs” and keeping them about a year he was able to realize from $10 to $20 per head, he testified. Bernard C. Black, reputed as one of the best gunmen and cowpunchers Neb. The case rests on the charge of | using the mails to defraud. * Cow Girl Testifies. | Mrs. Becker, 24, pretty, dark-eyed | cow girl, testified that she and her| | mother had been swindled out of a $1,000 diamond ring and their home, valued at $1,300, in Lincoln by a group of men who representéd themselves as being theagents for the sale or trade of Arizona wild range horses. On April 23, 1911, she testified, she answered a display ad in a Lincoln( paper which advertised the sale or| trade of wild horses. Tt was in the, office of the James & West Real| Estate company, she said, that she | met Mr. West, who assured her that the horses for which he was agent and had a slight interest in were of good color and quality and weighed about 900 pounds each and they were casily worth $45 a head. She said that he urged her to purchase or trade for at least 100 of the horses. { When she told him that the ring and | the house would not total in value his estimated cost of the 100 horses, she testified he urged her to raise the value of the property and ring so that she could at least trade for seven- ty-five of the animals. This deal her widowed mother, Mrs. May Stewart, finally agreed to and signed over a deed of her home, Recelved False Advice. | Jefore her mother had closed the | deal, Mrs. Becker testified that a Mr. Hastings had influenced her .and_her | mother in agreeing to the proposition by asserting that he had bought smm“ of the wild horses and had shipped three loads to the ‘stock yards of South .Omaha for which he received about $100 a head. She testified that he advised her to pick out only the stallions and the geldings which *were more valuable than the ordinary wild horses, Hast- ings, according to her testimony, also advised her the best place to find and catch the horses was around the wells of the range. Other'witnesses called upon to tes- cept from the Red Cross. n response to the appeal of Am- bassador Gerard, mal\‘{ prominent Americans have responded, forming committees to raise funds to turn over to the Red Cross societies. Los Angeles sent $25,000, which was col- lected in a few days. f Omaha donations may be sent to Mrs, Bertha Getzschman, 1608 South Tenth street, president of theGerman Red Cross Ladies' Relief society. Ban Against Canadian Potatoes__ig_ Modified Washin®ton, Dec. 5—~The Depart- ment’of Agriculture has ordered a re- laxation of the quaranting against po- tatoes from Candda. Hereafter Canadian potatoes show- ing traces of disease will be admitted at any border customs house instead of specially designated ports: This action is expected to bring large quantities of potatoes into the United States to meet the high prices, Ambassador Gerard Sails for Germany New™ York, Dec. 5—James W. Gerard, United States ambassador to Germany, sailed aboard the Frederick VIII today for Berlin, bearing the views of President Wilson regarding submarine warfare and the deporta- tion of Belgians for presentation to the imperial government. He de- clared he carried no peace plan back to Germany. Mr. Gerard took with him the equivalent of 100,000 marks, which was raised in a Thanksgiving appeal issued by the American relief com- mittee for distribution through the embassy to needy widows, orphans and war sufferers in Berlin.
