Says That Libelers
Should Be Hanged
Nebraska University President
Defends the Rich

WASHINGTON. Oct. 16.-President
E. Benjamin Andrews of the Univer-
sity of Nebraska, in addressing the fall
convocation of the George Washing
ton university here today, bitterly de-
nounced what he termed malicious and
willful misrepresentation of the acts
of public or prominent men by the
press. Hanging, he said,s should be
the punishment meted out to a proved
libe1er. None Of the business villainies
alleged to be. SO rife he continued,
"can compare in atrocity with these
squalid campaigns of libel and lfbelous
caricatures which recent. months have
produced"
DIR. Andrews said he did not care
for the rich as such, but that the
pride, idleness and doubtful practices
of few rich are no just cause for
putting all rich men in the pillory
He contended that the prices of COM
modities are attributable to influence
of the public rather than to monopo-
listic tendencies.

Special BY Leased Wire to The Call
TACOMA, Oct IA statue OF Venus
of Milo made of Tanan gold and weigh
ing 400 ounces has been received in
a shipment of gold from the Washing
ton Alaska bank at Fairbanks. The
statue is the work of employees of. the
bank at Fairbanks and is an excellent
production in miniature of the famous
statue. The gold in the statue is VAL.
ued at s7.225.
Including its small square base of
gold, the statue is 12k inches high The
casting of this statue was the idea of
the officials of the Alaska bank. They
sent to Boston for model. and on it's
arrival the gold was melted in sum
cient quantity to fill 1t. The work was
all done in the private assay Office of
the bank. This Office is operated to
assay all gold received at that bank.
The employees wished to show their
friends in the states that works of art
were as much appreciated in the north
as ELSEWHERE and that they could do
other things than mine gold.
The model was cast September Is and
placed on exhibition for a few days be-
fore being shipped south. The gold in
the statue was mined in the Tana dis
trict and is of dull color

The Farrels have haia hard time
getting along for some time. prin-
cipally on account of the unworthi-
ness Of the wife. They have three
children, Ina Belle, the baby aged
20 months, Esther aged years and
Hazel, aged years.
The husband told the mayor that
his wife had refused to perom her
duties for many weeks. Their home
lon Edwards street has been filthy,
because she would not clean up.
She spent most Of her time at near
by resorts of notorious character.
The husband earned between seventy
and eighty dollars per month, but
was unable, to properly provide for
hie family because his wife was very
extrayagant. The grocery bill for
one month under her management
wss $75 for the fve persons in the
family.

not the. least penitent. Her father
and mother. Mr., and Mrs. William
Shirk. her husband and her pretty
little babes pleaded with her to
come back home and promise to be
good. Father, mother, husband,
land children wept as though their
hearts would break, and yet the
mother maintained stoical silence,
paying not the least heed to their
|entreaties.
When she learned that she would
take a trip to the workh0use unless
she changed ront, the woman PROM
ised to stay at home, attend to her
duties and be faithful wife. Her
promises were made with no show
|of emotion and though doubling her
sincerity, the mayor suspended the
workhouse sentence on condition
that the woman behaves herself
properly.

drama with its tragic features. the

Delights In Destroying the
Long Green
LITTLE ELLSWORTH CAREY
Gets Rid Of Contents o.
Fathers Pocketbook
Over One Hundred Dollars Burned
and Mother Discovers Child In
Act Of Burning SIS Check

Ellsworth Carey, the three year
old son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
Carey of Agosta, apparently has q
mania for destroying money. Al
though but a mere tottering baby,
he knows what money looks like
and he also knows how to destroy
it. Sunday morning the lad crept
ont of his little trundle bed while
his father and mother were yet in
dreamland and by climbing upon a
table managed to secure his faith
er's bill book from a high shelf.
The boy removed sixty-five dollars
in five and ten dollar bills from
the book and packing them in a
stove, stood by and crowded while
the flames devourcd the hard
earned filthy lucre.
The child's crows of delight
aroused the mother who suspected
that the child was in mischief
and fastening to the room caught
the youth in the act CT burning
a $75 check which it had just
removed from the bill book. The
mother and father cannot account
for the child's disposition as sever
al weeks ago it burned several
five-dollar bills which it fond in
the fathers pockets.
There was nothing left Of the
$50 but some black charred remains
and no part of the bills could
be found so the numbers could be
recognized to make them redeem
able and the unfortunate occur
renee is a total loss.
