MYSTERY ADDED
TO THE COPE CASE
Pennsylvania city Questions
the Name of Girl Held for
Attempted Bribery.

Chicago, Dec 8.-Chief of Police
Horace Keller of Delaware Water
Gap, Pa, added touch Of mystery
to the case Of Miss Jessie Elizabeth
Cope, who is under government sur
veillance at Coulter house pending her
trial on a charge of attempting to
bribe federal officials. Keller wired
the police, asking that they send de-
tailed physical description of Miss
Cope and to learn If her right name
was Ula Stroud Cope. .-...o.
When detectives interviewed Miss
Cope she said that she had never used
the name "Ula Stroud Cope and de-
MED that she had ever been In Water
Gap.
Further Messages Awaited.
Efforts to get in communication
with Keller failed and the Chicago
police are now waiting for further
messages from Water Gap.
Miss Cope has retained Elwood G..
Goldman, former assistant United
in the case charging bribery and to
advise her in her efforts to convict
Colonel Charles Alexander of VIOLA
tion of the Mann act.
After comforting with Miss Cope
and her mother the greater part of
yesterday. Mr.. Goldman gave out a
statement which is, in part, as fol-
lows:
No Expectation of Money.
miss Cope is astounded at the
charge of alleged bribery made
against her by the government. She
came to Chicago in October and has
been here for more than month at
her own expense. trying all the while
to assist the government officials in
uncovering the truth concerning the
misconduct of Colonel Alexander.
"The complaint was made by Miss
Cope, not with the expectation or hope
of securing any money settlement for
her wrongs, for she we'll knew that
the government would prosecute only
criminally. but solely for the purpose
of vindicating the law and having
punishment visited upon the one who
through such law violation had dis
graced her."

Gentlemen Of the Congress-:
The session upon which you are
now entering will be the closing ses-
sion Of the Sixty-third congress, q
congress. I venture to say, which will
long be remembered for the great
body of thoughtful and constructive
work which 1t has done. In loyal re-
sponse to the thought and needs Of
the country. 1 should like in this ad-
dress to review the notable record
and try to make adequate assessment
Of 1t; but no doubt we stand too near
the work that has been done and are
ourselves too much part of it to play
the part of historians toward it.
Great Problems to Face.
Moreover, our thoughts are now
more Of the future than Of the past
While we have worked at our tasks
Of peace the circumstances of the
whole age have been altered by war.
What have we done for our own land
and our own people we did with the
best that was in us. whether of char
acter or of intelligence, with sober
enthusiasm and a confidence in the
principles upon which we were acting
which sustained US at every step of
the difficult undertaking ;but 1t is
done. 1t has passed from our hands.
1t Is now an established part of the
legislation of the country. Its useful
ness, its effects will disclose them

strikes us now. as we look about US

Commercial Situation.
War has interrupted the means Of
trade not only but also the processes
of production. In Europe it is de-
stroying men and resources wholesale
and upon a scale unprecedented and
appalling. There is reason to fear
that the time Is near. if 1t be not al
ready at hand. when several of the
countries of Europe will find 1t diff
cult to do for their people what they
have hitherto been always easily able
to do,-many essential and funda-
mental things. At any rate, they will
need our help and our manifold serv-

Chicago, Dec. s.-"M some Of
these people had lived in an ear

said Mayor Carter H. Harrison,
commenting on the agitation
against revoking an ordinance
which prohibits dancing In cafes
and hotels.
Some persons object to any
dancing, and that's why they OBJ
jcct to 1t In Cafes" he said.
"Others believe a deck of cards
to be the DEVILS prayer book. 1t
seems to me q dance in hotel

sible and the dancers would have
difficulty in doing anything inn
proper without being rebuked."
Legal action will be taken to
test the validity of the ordinance.
Owners of downtown cafes defied
the ordinance Saturday in order
to get . court ruling.

paper business. The men who run newspapers are at least of reason able intelligence. Any man who thinks knows that honesty is the best policy Even if man has no scruple, if he is wise, he will be hon. l est because it is the best business plan. The newspaper man who gets anywhere knows that a prerequisite to success is the establishment of a character for his newspaper. The newspaper that is known to be fair will have many readers who do not agree with it's editorial policy or ev- en with it's news policy. A reputa- ton for squareness is an asset of un- told value and it is necessary to the lasting success of newspaper.
 In closing I should say something about newspaper work as career. cannot say that it can be recommend ed to the young man whose chief end is the accumulation of dollars but it offers a broad field to the young man who desires to live to the limit every waking hour Of his life, to know things and to do things. If you want Q make fortune go into some other business but if you have the news paper instinct-and 1 yerily believe newspaper men are born and not made-if you have this instinct and do not want to spend your life in the newspaper business, keep away from the newspaper office because if the bug bites you, you are lost Many men have gone into the newspaper business and have been successful for several years and have turned to other pursuits and gained greater sue. cess in these pursuits but they get the old thrill when they hear of a big story breaking or when they hear tAe thunder of a big press or when they drop into a newspapers city room and hear=th reporters talk shop-and reporters always talk shop. They are in the business up 10 their eyes and they are wonder fql set. They carry the secrets of their town buried them Their loyalty and their energy and their honesty would pat them we'll up in tn forefront of any other business they might enter. Maybe they acquire habits in the newspaper work that re- tard their advancement but rarely do these habits affect heir energy when they are after a big story and rarely do they affect their integrity. Some d8y justice will De done the American reporter but some one other than q reporter must dc it for the reporter is q somewhat cynical being who re- fuses 10 believe that he is notable.
 Maybe he is not notable, but he has made cities and has made men and
 has written the history of his time.
