tanning the boys will fall upon the
women of the city, it was suggested
at the meeting Tuesday that COM
mittee of women might be able to do
more in getting results from homes by
telephone or personal canvass than
men. 1t is believed that many persons
who fully intend to take boys into their
homes have merely neglected. to send
in their cards. This keeps the commit
tee in charge on the anxious seat, as
il is particularly DESTROYS of getting in
the names as early as possible, in or

are able to entertain the boys for
three nights lodging and six meals, as
requested, in letting the committee

Dol,eny Wins Half
Million Bet on
Wilson'S Election

New York papers tell of the winning
Of a bet Of half million dollars on the
election Of President by E. l.. Doheny,
of Los Angeles. Local interest at
taches to the story from the fact that
MIR. Doheny's wife was a former Mar
shalltown girl, Miss carrie Betzold.
A New York dispatch says:
Even Wall street gasped today
When it learned Of half million dollar
bet won by Edward l.. Doheny on the
election of President Wilson. 1t is
some distinction to be the winner Of
the largest wager ever made on pres
dential election, but it Is a mere Incl
dent in the life Of Lucky Strike DOH
eny, one of the wealthlest oil producers
in the world.
Mr.. Doheny, accompanied by Mrs.
Doheny and party of friends. left
New York today on his yacht Casiana
FOR a cruise TO Havana. Tamnico and
New Orleans. Doheny then will pro-
coed to California to cast an electoral
vote for President Wilson. He was
chosen an elector in Los Angeles coun-
ty. where he makes his home.
Half a million dollars is of such in
consequence that Doheny dismissed
the subject Of the wager by remarking
It's mere incident. If I had lost it
would also have been mere incident
Your confidence in President Will
son must have been a remarkable one
for you to have backed him SO heavi-
ly, Mr.. Doheny was asked.
My confidence was no greater than
that OF thousands of men who prob
ably could not afford TO wager cent
on the outcome replied Doheny.
Backing man with money is no adj
ded proof Of your confidence in him or
your judgment that he will win
Doheny has been doing big things
so long that half million dollars win
ming means but little in his life He
is president of the Pan American Pc
troleum and Transport Company,
which owns 100000 acres of oil land in
Mexico This land is valued at $780,
100000 and represents IS per cent Of
the oil producing territory in Mexico
The company has in commission or be-
ing built some twenty steamers and

whose arrest Tuesday on a complaint
filed by w. T. Somers brought Mr..
Keepers into police court, says that the
complaint filed, charging breaking and
entering, was the result of too hasty
action on Somers' part. Keepers does
not deny selling out Of Somers' store
hog trough patented by Keepers and
manufactured for him by Somers,
which Keepers says he alone is per-
mitted to sell. Keepers claims he had
not had time to settle with Somers
when the latter got out warrant. But
as to literally breaking and entering
the Somers place of business at 70
o'clock Monday afternoon, Keepers en-
tiers denial, claiming that Somers' Of
flee girl was there when he got the
hog trough for a customer and sold il
