Who ARE The
PRETT|EST TEN

tiful women?
Charles Dana Gibson, Americas
foremost pen and ink sketch artist
and creator of the Gibson Girl.
says Mrs. Charles Dana Gibson does.
And Ben Ali Haggin, the famous
oil painter, says Mrs. Ben Ali Haggin
does.
Naturally, both declared today.
| they regard their wives as the ideal
| type of beauty, and, from an artistic
point, each thinks his wife has no SUI
perior.
Mr.. Gibson. in placing the famous
| Gibson Girl before the public, spent
many years in search of u model
whom he believed represented the en-
act type of beauty he wished to por-
tray. And although he had models
galore, representing various types of
beauty, none of them, he says, ever
! cqualed the beauty of his wife, who,
before her marriage was, with her
sister, now Mrs. william Waldorf
Aston, generally accepted as one of
the prettiest women of both hemis-
pheres.
On the other hand, Mr. Haggin,
who spends most of his time portray
ing In oil members of the elite. and
who, naturally. has come In contact
with women frequently mentioned as
possessing every quality that goes to
make mp beauty, Is equally positive
that no woman can be found in the
entire world who equals his wife in
beauty.
| Various artists and illustrators
have, within the past two weeks,
included the ten most beautiful
women throughout the world In
only one instance was the name of
Mrs. Gibson omitted. On the other
hand, Mrs. Haggin's name was mem
Toned but twice. o,
| Mr.. Haggin. son of James y.
Haggin, and one of the best athletes
that ever wore the blue of Yale, was
at work on portrait of well-known
society woman when an Examiner"
reporter met him in his studio at SO
| West Sixty-seyenth street.
| Now, see here" he said. when the
nature of the visit was made known,
''you might just as well ask me To
HIT the Statue Of Liberty, with one
hand as TO decide this question.
Really ! wouldn't dare to pick the
worlds ten most beautiful women. In
the first place. you must remember
that | am married, and in the second.
that ! daily come In contact with
women who are often mentioned in
the daily papers as being representa-
tive types of American beauty.

ploring expedition to the North or

slider the worlds most beautiful.
| Il have read with much interest the
opinions of various artists as to who
they thought made up this list, and ia
some instances | agree with them and
in some | don't"
II was at this point that the re-
porter ventured the statement that
ir. Gibson, while selecting list of
ten most beautiful women, had done
so only with the understanding that
Mrs, Gibson would be given the place
at the top of the list.
"Oh, is that so?" replied Mr.. Hag-

GERMANS COUNTER THE DRYS
Anti-Saloon League Attitude Toward
Charles Nagel is Resented.
Alliance of Ne
braskn Denounces Leagues
Action as Unwsrranted
and Impertinent.

i Nebraska Germans have made forcible
resentment against the efforts OF the
State Anti-Saloon league. which seeks
to prevent the appointment Of Charles
Nagel, secretary OF commence and labor.
10 a seat on the United States supreme
bench. The league, claiming TO repre-
sent eooo temperance people OF the state.
has forwarded to President Taft a pro-
test against the appointment OF Nagel.
and now counter protest comes from
the German-Americsn Alliance Of Ne
braska The counter protest. witch is
in the form OF q resolution. and signed
by President Val J. Peter and Secretary
John Mates. jr.. has been directed to
President Taft as follows:
Whereas The Anti-saloon league OF
Nebraska, claiming to represent and act
for 5000 temperance voters OF this state,
has taken II upon itself to forward to you
a protest against the appointment to a
justiceship Of the supreme court Of the
Hon. Charles Nagel, the present secre-
tary OF commerce and labor.
We hereby denounce their action as an
unwarranted and impertinent interference
with your executive prerogativei and
Speaking advisedly for more than 5000
voters Of Nebraska. whose devotion to
the cause Of personal liberty we can
vouch for. We beg to assure you that the
appointment to a place on the supreme
bench Of Mr.. Nagel. whose qualifications
for that position and his splendid record
In his profession, as well as public off.
Ger. are fully recognized by large ma
jority Of the voters or this state. would
be most heartily endorsed and appre-
ciated by this alliance.
1--WE consider that the objections made
by the Anti-Saloon league to Mr.. Nagels
appointment on the grounds that he has
acted in a professional capacity for
Adolphus Busch. one OF the most public
spirited citizens Of 81. Louis, whose bo-
nevolence and boundless charity Is uni
versally acknowledged. and whose good
name IL most highly honored on both
sides OF the Atlantic. is a manifestation
Of narrow-mindedness quite unprece-
dented and deserving Of the severest con-
domination by all fair-minded citizens.
I'VE have too high an opinion OF the
intelligence Of Nebraska voters to be.
lieve that such narrow views could have
the endorsement OF even 600 voters in
this state"

Aiken,. Checkered Csreer.


AIken's prison record was received
by County Attorney capell Wednesday
from the board Of parole. He was SEN
fenced in the Polk county district court
on May q. 1909. TO an indetermlnate sem
tence Of five years after conviction Of
boxcar robberies at Valley Junction, Ia,
He was received at the Anamosa prison
on June /. 1903. and paroled on septem-
Der u. 1911. with fifteen months and five
days OF unexpired time to serve. after
all deductions had been made. After his
sentence he implicated another man
named Lawrence. who he said helped him
peddle out the stuff stolen from the
merchandise cars. He had been working
as a switchman at Valley Junction two
or three weeks before his arrest. The
personal history OF the man tells the
usual story. He was born at Eureka,
New, twenty-five years ago, and left
home when he was II years old. In his
railroad work he started as a fireman
and then went to braking. He held thir-
ty-three Jobs while engaged in railroad
work. and the parole board record shows
all Of the towns where he was located.
Another incident, almost pathetic, Is the
reference TO the death OF the boys
father. J. Z. Aiken. at Eureka while the
son was in prison.
Mail sacks Are Found.
Yesterday morning Aiken was taken out

at lss South Eighth street. This place
vas formerly occupied by Pabst, whom
Aiken duplicates in the robbery. The
sacks had been ripped open with a knife
