CHARLIE ENDS WILD CAREER
Small Boy KidnRps Himself and Cap

from Business.

Thirsting for adventure and with an ap-
petite whetted by persistent reading of
dime novels and tales of the sensational
abducting of Eddie Cudahy, jr., Charlie
Williams, aged "A years. 1926 Military ave-
nue., kidnapped himself Wednesday night

cold and hungry, managed to rescue him
self Friday night. True to the teachings
of Nick Carter he Immediately reported at
police headquarters, but instead Of a
patrol Of police being sent after the sup
posed abductors, the youth was himself
taken into custody. Saturday morning he
weakened and told the truth.
Charlie has had a penchant for running
away from home. Wednesday night the fit
took him again. For two days and two
night he absented himself To the proba-
tion officers he told a narrowing tale W
being kidnapped by two masked men and
kept in chains in a haunted house full OF
ghosts and creepy things. As he pro-
ceeded with his tale'h he artistically enlarged
upon It. until upon the suggestion that the
x-ray be used on his head to see what
was the matter with him he confessed that
he had simply run away from home and
had hidden himself in furnace room back
OF the Zee building. Charles promised to
be good in the future and returned home
with his mother.

SISTER OF MERCY MARRlES
Council BIuHs NOvitiate ForsaIxes
the C1oister for Cupld's
Altar.

Miss Lizzie NJ. Welch. giving her resi-
dence as Chicago, turned back from the
cloister to marry Raymond Dye, who gave
his address as st. Joseph. and the couple
were married by Judge Leslie in Omaha
Saturday afternoon.
Miss welch has been a novice Of the
Sisters of Mercy in st. Bernards hospital.
which she left yesterday. Mother Mary
Of the hospital in Council Bluffs Is said
to have made no objection to the marriage,
as the woman had not completed her
novitiate and violated no vows in leaving
the hospital and turning from the life
which she thought she would choose before
she met Dye.
In the hospital Miss welch was known
as Sister Geneva. Dye. who for some rea-
son gave the name of Raymond Dye in
securing the license, but who is known in
Council Bluffs as Orange r. Dye claims
the romance dates back several years to
a time when he was attendant in st. Ber-
nard's hospital.
To odd to the story Dye claims that he
assisted the girl in escaping from the hos
al by a priest, locked up and held until
the girl was brought back He also claims
that he secured a writ of habeas corpus
In order to secure the girls release, but
no record of such proceedings can be found
in Council Bluffs.
The hospital authorities say the girl was
permitted to leave Thursday and had their
blessings, as she had been under the i'm

BY THE CUT OF HIS COAT
Thus One May Know n Strangers Ma
tiOnality, Character and
Taste.

A mans dress invariably proclaims who
and what he is; it is an index to his char
acteT, his tastes and his nationality; and
without making too abstruse study, it is
possible to indicate those features which
proclaim the nationality of the wearer.
OF course, there is an aristocracy OF the
nations which is difficult to distinguish
except by some popularity of face or fig
ure. Their clothing is refined and tasteful
and leads one to believe that their gar
ments are London made, as they are free
from those glaring peculiarites which char
acterize the products of other countries.
The Americans garments are generally
quite two sizes too large for him, the
collar of bis coat is exceedingly narrow,
and the shoulders and back excessively
wide. His trousers pegtop finished with
raised seams. His favorite garments ARE
the lounge and Chesterfield, and these
are often finished in some extraordinary
way which he fancies to be original
The French man is dressy, his garments
are close fitting and decidedly "waisty."
He favors the frock and the morning
coat, which he has finished with as much
ornamentation as possible. SILK facing,
braided edges and fantastic flaps are all
characteristic of his dress, while lie pays
a good deal Of attention to his hat, tie
and cuffs
The German is in many instances a
modified American. He likes plenty of
room, especially about the chest, which
part OF anatomy he delights to make much
Of; consequently there is often a seam
up the front Of his coat from the waist.
In cut his garments are angular and in
style he favors the morning coat and
lounge. There is a lack of personality
about his attire, and one can invariably
detect the result of his military training
in the uniformity Of his garments.
The Spaniard is a modified form OF the
Frenchman. His garments are tasteful
and neat If the weather is suitable he
discards a vest, and his jackets are close
fitting and finished with a low roll.

MACHINE TO CURE DEAFNESS
New York Fireman Dcvises m
Apparatus that Helps
Some.

Eugene Meyer is a New York fireman
who drives engine No 6S, attached to
the house at 1850 ogden avenue, the
Bronx He has been in the department
nineteen years. He is a good mechanic,
good electrician has painted some fair
landscapes and has the reputation OF
knowing a little something about every
thing, except, as he says, the science Of
making money.
After ten years of hard work and study
Meyer has perfected and patented a singu-
lar little machine which he calls the
"auricular pressure and suctional vi
brator." 1t involves an odd combination
OF electricity and compressed air in its
functions
Meyer says his machine will cure any
ordinary case of deafness, and at least
a score of persons who have tested 1t
declare they have been benefited greatly.
when nature creates a human or
ganism," he said, lit is usually perfect,
and whenever anything gets out of place
there is a way of correcting the trouble
IL we only know how to apply the forces
nature has provided. That is particu-
larly true of the ear. Physicians realize
that the ear, because Of it's peculiar con-
struction, is the most difficult rart OF
the human anatomy to treat successfully,
and after suffering with partial deafness
for several years / realized that, too.
So I went to work to find a way of cur
ing myself 1 succeeded, and now / want
to help many others as l can"
He explains he discovered his invention
when experimenting with a sound box
TO do away with the scratching noise In
the phonograph. Step by step he pro-
ceeded, all the time studying the
anatomy Of the ear until finally the ma
chine was put together and patented.
While a reporter was talking with Meyer
and his. patients two physicians, one of
them an ear specialist, called, having
heard OF him through persons treated
one of these physicians told the reporter
that his brother had been almost entirely
cured of deafness by Meyers machine
and that he regarded 1t as an interesting
invention. He said the principles in
volved were simple. but that IL produced
effects upon the ear drum which physi-
clans had never been able to do.
The apparatus consists of small cleo
trio batteries a delicate diaphragm that
corresponds TO an ear drum, small rub
ber tubes and other mechanism, with two
little tubes that fit into the ears like the
ear tubes Of a phonOgraph. When these
are applied to the ears the machine Is
set In motion and its functions are varied

When asked 10 describe just what the
machine does, Meyer said:

Thinking sober men of all parties
are pondering these things. We
have six or seven tickets in the field,
but every body knows "Bill Taft or
Bill Bryan" will be elected. Sober,
discreet men are supporting Bryan
to-day who have not voted the demo-
cratic ticket for years. Others are
thinking of voting it, but demagogues
are hooting and yelling at them, and
telling them they must do penance
before they can associate with demo-
Gratis. These men are denouncing
the governor for calling out troops
to guard our factories when they
were asked for by as true a demo-
Graf as our county has. Demagoeues
make inhamatory speeches, tell
smutty jokes to arouse the prejudice
of such men as make night-riders
and burn factories while they are
just playing into the hands of the
produce gamblers. If a good man
makes sound sensible argument he
is no speaker because he has not ap-
pealed to the prejudice of the ex-
IRENE element. Such demagogues
drive some of the best citizens in the
country from the polls by their in
cendiary speeches.

In the New Castle County Court,
Friday, John Wesley Fountain and
James Mason, negroes, were con,
victed of violations in connection
with the special local option
election throughout Delaware last
November.
These cases formed the basis for
the recent futile attack on the con.
stitutionality of the local option
law by Willard Salisbury, at
torney for the liquor interests.
1t is believed the conviction will
not be appealed. Such a step
would be paramount to appealing
from the decision affirming the con-
stitutionality OF the law. 1t is
understood the liquor interests
realize that the Supreme Court
would in all probability affirm the
finding of the lower court.

After considerable effort Congress
passed bill that stopped rebates and
enabled the railroads to keep what they
had formerly returned in the way of
rebates to favored shippers. But the
state legislatures went to work to lower
rates, with the result that number of
the legislatures enacted two cent fare
laws and some reduced freight rates.
Immediately the railroad magnates
began to plead for federal regulation,
and areelated over the decision of the
supreme court in the Minnesota and
North Carolina cases.
The reason the railroads want to get
away from state legislatures is that the
legislatures are near to the people and
quickly respond to public sentiment,
while the national congress is harder for
the people to reach.

anese troops or which are under their
control; and again, in the same treaty,
the Imperial Government Of Russia de-
clares that it has no territorial advantage
or preference Or exclusive concessions in
Manchuria of such nature as to impair
the sovereignty of China or which are
incompatible with the principle of equal
opportunity.
In the refusal of Consul Fisher to recog-
nize Russian authority is seen the hand
of the United States in oriental diplomacy,
but it is easily inferred that in this re-
proof of Russia, who has failed and is
failing to abide by the terms of the Ports
mouth Treaty, japan, even more than
Russia is reproved, because in southern
Mauchuria she is presenting, in many
localities, to exercise with a strong hand,
administrative and executive functions
The United States is committed to what
is called the Hay policy of the open door.
The open door cannot exist under gov
ernmeut of the Chinese by either Russia
or Japan, or both of them. The open
door means equal commercial rights aud
equal access by all foreign countries, and
neither Japan nor Russia, but China IS
the country that is responsible for the
open door. The United States is de.
termined to maintain an open door and
in this we will doubtless be supported by
Germany and possibly by England and
France, though one is the ally of Japan
and the other the ally of Russia.
Won Meyer, the Postmaster General,
has long been ambassador to Russia, no
one better understands the Russian at
titude and feeling, and he, with the Pres
dent and Secretary of State, doubtless
came to some conclusion on horseback.
