WOMAN WRECKS
BEACH CLUB
Doesn't Do a Thing but Smash Ev-
erything in Cozy Quarters.

San Francisco, Cal, Jan. 24.--Is
there reincarnated Carrie Nation
patroling the ocean beach.
Ask the members of the lone So
cial club, with headquarters at 4421
Irving street, and see what they
have to say.
Last night the cottage, which was
recently a target of much criticism
from women residing in the vicinity
was visited by someone with an I'M
governable temper. Fifteen win
dows were broken, the piano was
chopped into kindling, the telephone
yanked off the wall and thrown in
to a corner and the carpets ripped
from the floor.
The only clew to the identity of
the chopper was a woman's glove
which was found on the front steps.

She asked him what was to be
done, she testified, and he said they

reached behind tree near where
he had been sitting, she declared,
and produced a shotgun which he
loaded in her presence, stating that
he had tried the gun, that it was all
right, and that it was surer than a
revolver at long range.
She AYERS he insisted upon her
walking down the railroad track
with him, and that he told her as
they were walking to Brooks if she
betrayed him in any way he would
kill her and then himself.
Miss Runyon declares that she did
not characterize the escapade as an
elopement at any time, while they
were in the station at Brooks, where
she admitted having cashed check
for SIS, only because she did not
wish to walk any farther. She ex-
planned her anxiety to get away
from Brooks, which caused her to
suggest that they get an auto to
come for them from Nodaway, by
saying she was afraid Jones would
kill her father should he come there.
The testimony admitted that
Jones went into cigar store at Red
Oak while she remained outside in
the auto, but the girl declared that
Jones watched her continuously
through the window of the store.
Upon arrival at the Darling home
in Shenandoah, she declared, Mrs.
Darling asked her whether she came
voluntarily. She says she replied
only: "Well, am here
Miss Runyon declares that she has
received two letters from Jones in
which he said 81 am glad you told
the truth She admits telling the
acting chief of police at Shenandoah
that she was a friend to Jones, but
she declares she did this only be-
cause Jones was watching her.

house of three dray loads of gamb-
ling paraphernalia early yesterday.
The sheriff went to his Office early
yesterday morning. He noticed three
dray wagons in the alley being load
ed with material taken from the
basement of the court house, and for
time thought nothing of the mat.
ter, the work seeming to have been
authorized.
Later, when he recognized the ma
terial on the wagons as gambling
paraphernalia taken in raids several
years ago, he decided to Investigate.
When he appeared in the alley three
men were carrying the last bit OF
the gambling outfit to the wagons
The lock to the basement door of
the courthouse had been broken.
Sheriff Lindsay wanted to know
what they were doing. The leader
of the gang told him the stuff was
wanted for big gambling house
soon to be opened in South Omaha
and offered the sheriff $25 if he
would turn his back for time and
forget about what he had seen.
Sheriff Lindsay made the men put
the material back in the court house
and today he is consulting attorneys
regarding further proceedings.

The Pork Barrel BiII.-The fact I

The Pork Barrel Bill.-The fact that
there are meritorious items in the river
and harbOr bill is no reason whatever
why it should pass. There are always
such items in every such bill. That is
part of the play. The eXpectation~al-
ways is that the proper and legitinl,. e
expenditures will carry through the
steals. The whole method of dealing
with this subject is wrong. Under pres
ent log rolling conditions ii is practi-
cally impossible to get an honest river
and harbor bill. But there are limits
to the crookedness, and these should
be observed. The pending bill goes far
beyond them.
Indiana is, of course, interested in
the measure, and the improvements
contemplated on the lake and river are,
as far as we are informed, Of value, not
simply TO certain communities, but to
the public at large. But these can wait.
So can other worthy improvements. 1t
is outrageous that they should have to,
but this is not the fault of those who
object to the present bill, but of those
who are responsible for it. We are not
so rich in these war times that we can
afford to Squander millions of dollars
of the peoples money.
We are glad to know that the fight
against this bill is to be pushed with
the utmost vigOr For that means that
the bill will, in all probability, not get
through the senate. We should think
that congress would be glad to turn this
whole business over to experts, and to
appropriate only such money as they
found to be needed. Millions of dollars
heve literally been thrown away for the
purpose of making congressman solid
with their districts. This, of course, is
an utterly dishonest use Of the taxing
power The Democrats profess to be-
lieve that taxation should be for pub
lie purposes only. We are now to see
them put to the test 1t ought not to
require any Spartan courage to with

abandoned those portions of Alsace

had occupied and now look for heavy
