the local real estate association, while
, a guest of that organization, that the

and northeastern Nebraska, could be
made to produce double the present av

insisted that crops which would pay a
good return on the investment at that
figure were possible. Incidentally he

LABOR UNIONS IN
SEATTLE VOTE ON It
Will Decide Whether or Not
to Call General Sympa-
thetic Strike

Seattle, Wash, Sept. 2s.-A refer
endum vote of all labor unions in Sc
attic was begun today on the question
of general strike in sympathy with
the longshoremen who are on strike
here.
The vote will probably not be COM
pleted for three weeks and the labor
council set October 10 as the last day
for balloting.
This action was taken unanimously
by the labor council at meeting held
in the labor temple last night behind
closed doors.
Members of the council generally
felt favorable to the sympathetic strike
it was learned today, eontending that
unionism, as whole, is considerably
involved.
The resolution presented by the
strike and grievance committee called
for q sympathetic strike in the trans
portation lines, but the council, ii is
said, was of the opinion that general
strike, if called should embrace all
crafts.

Was Moral Reformer.


AS the last link in the strange
tragedy through which Gravier fell
victim to the very thing he had sought
to save others from in his days as
social reformer, and a woman whom
he had cast aside sought vengeance,
was supplied, drawing new families of
position into public gaze, detectives
stood with moist eyes outside the door
where Leduc and his wife held their
brief reunion.
Leduc was in the room for a half
hour Tears streamed down his face as
he tried to talk. Leduc arrived here
at O'Clock today from Chicago. He
went directly to the hospital where his
wife was taken after being wounded
early yesterday when Mrs. Belzar shot
her and killed her companion. When
detectives finally entered the room,
Leduc was sitting beside his wife,
holding both of her hands.
"We have been married for fifteen
years." said Leduc, as he began the
story of his married life. 1--WE first
met at tennis match where I was
playing and Lila was spectator. For
five years we lived in New York.

He was different then; home.loving
man. We all became warm friends.

came to register her as his wife. She
must have been in o stunor from some
drug. This rascal evidently held her
in that room.
There is now little for the police
to do in connection with the tragedy.
Gravier and the woman whose love he
had east aside are dead. Mrs. Leduc
has chance for life, though it was
believed yesterday death was certain.
Not until Leduc arrived today were
the authorities positive of the third
woman's identity. To the very last
she sought to conceal her name.
