Quiet Dinner Party

PORTLAND, Ore. Oct. 29.-How one OF
the fires charged to members OF the Pa

a quiet dinner party and later carried
out as scheduled was told today by Mrs.
Grace L. woolette. testifying at the trial
OF Mordie Reeney. alleged arsonist and
former lieutenant in the fire department.

day when Mr. Keeney suggested that MT
Woolette buy a house. furnish It. have
It insured and then burn 1t. He said II
we could do this he would help US and
that half Of the profits would be his
share.
II objected, but my husband wanted to
do It and We bought a house on INSTALL
ments. The contract and insurance was
placed In my name, as we thought q
woman could more readily collect the in
surance than a man.
After we had lived in the house a few
months it was arranged that I should
take a trip out OF town. While was
gone the fire occurred. The insurance
policy was for $500, but all the company
would pay was $500. because the ad-

U. s. Correspondence
With Belligerents
Issued by Officials

WASHINGTON, Oct "a second in
stallment Of what has come TO be popu-
iarly known as the United States gov
eminent white book was issued tonight
by the State department. II gives the
text of important diplomatic CORE
spendence with the belligerent govern
ments of Europe since the publication
OF the first installment last May.
Besides constituting a public record Of
the position of the United States as prece-
dent for the future. the volume reveals
to the public a series OF charges and
counter charges by tho beliiserents. Most
of the correspondence never before has
been made public in text although press
dispatches have covered much OF 1t in
substance.
One OF the most interesting features Of
the new edition Is the publication for tho
first time of memorandum OF the Ger
man foreign office referred to in o
colloquy between Chairman Flood of the
house foreign affairs committee and Rep
resentative Bartholdt Of Missouri at the
hearing OF the bills proposing an en-
barge on arms. Mr.. Flood quoted the
memorandum as a justification OF his
argument that the German government
did not hold shipment OF munitions to
the allies as illegal II appears that the
correspondence with the German govern
ment conducted by Ambassador Won
Bernstorff developed as a consequence OF
a ruling by the United States that It was
violation Of neutrality for merchant
ships to leave American ports for the ex-
press purpose Of supplying belligerent
warships at sea-

SALOON MEN FORM
CHARITY LEAGUE
Fifty Thousand Dollars Already in
Treasury to Go to Douglas
County Poor.
UPLIFT SALOON BUSINESS

Omaha saioonmen have raised Seoooo
among themselves and organized the LIB
eral Aid society, an association which has
for Its sole purpose the idea OF alleviating
distress and poverty wherever found IN
Douglas county.
Each OF the $50 saloonmen In Omaha
has presented the treasurer Of the or
ganiEation with q check for 80, and
designated an investigating committee 10
look UP deserving cases.
Walter Brandes IL president, Peter j.
Rooney. treasurer: David X. Harding.
vice president, and Walter Il. Steel. secre-
tary.
Another object OF the Liberal Aid So
ciety Is to see that no man becomes a
drunkard or deprives his family to pur-
chase liquor" declared one OF the men
active in the project.
Watch own eiEhborhOod.
The saloonkeeper can easily keep q
line on conditions In his own neighbor-
hood. Whenever a case is reported the
nearest saloonkeeper and two other mem-
bers OF the society will investigate and
then, IL circumstances warrant. the fam
lily will be Strengthened out.
We're not going TO have anything to
do with the newspapers. Everything will
be done quietly, with no embarrassment
to those receiving aid. Every nickel we
have In the treasury will be expended
each year on charity-not a cent will go
for salaries, office rent or anything OF
that kind. Wherever possible we will
work with the other charitable organisa-
tions. but we think there is ample room
in Omaha for another big charitable
association.
Licensed Saloon Necessary.
Perhaps excessive use OF liquor may
cause a great deal of distress, but think
the licensed, well-regulated saloon IL as
essential to a community as any other
business.
I'VE want to make the saloons OF
Omaha better, and we think we can ac-
complish a great amount of good"

Aid. Charles E. Merriam sent for
a. copy of the ordinance today. He
said he is going to inform himself on

The ordinance provides for an
amendment to Sec. 1880 of the build

basement or cellar shall be used for

BELL Telephone STOCK

The American Telephone and
Telegraph Company announces
that arrangements have been
been made by which EMPLOYEES OF
the Bell System who have been
two years or more in the service
and who so desire may purchase
stock of the Company. for $4,000
per share on easy terms of pay
ment.
No employee can purchase
more than one share for each
$500 of annual wages he receives
nor more than ten shares what
ever his wages.
The/terms of payment will be
$500 per share per month begin
ming with March 1915. and the
quarterly dividends paid on the
stock will go towards paying for
it after deducting interest at
per cent per annum on the un-
paid balances.
The American Company has
paid 8 per cent dividends for sew
en- years and it is calculated that
dividends at this rate and the
$500 per share per month pay
ments by EMPLOYEES will pay for
the stock in full by. November.
1913. Any employee who so de-
sires can after March l., 1917, but
not before pay in the balance on
his stock and receive his stock
certificate.
Should an employee leave the
service or die before his stock is
fully paid for, the amount he has
paid in plus the accumulated
dividends (less 4 per cent inter-
est) will be paid back.
The American Telephone and
telegraph Company is the parent
company of the Bell Telephone
system which. operates or con-
meets with eight and a half mil
lion telephone. stations through
out the United States.
It has about 10000 stockhold-
ers and 100000 employees. It's
issued capital stock is nearly
$3.50, 100000, and is quoted on
on the Stock Exchanges at about
$i18.00 per share.
The company makes it plain
that no employee is under any
obligation to fNly anv stock, but
it is believed that a considerable
number of employees will take
advantage of this opportunity to
save a little money every month
and invest it in the business.
