and Smith went to the garage office.
A moment later two-hundred-pound
policeman Strolled up to put huge
foot on The running board of the wait

friend.

Starbuck, looking over the police,

other man might have lost his head
but the ex-cowpuncher was of the
chosen few whose wits sharpen hand

He hangs out at the HOphra House

Again Starbuck's reply translated
itself into action. With sktllful
touch Of the controls he sent the car
ahead at top speed, and for matter
Of ten miles or more held a dlmln-
ishing lead in the race through sheer
good driving and an accurate knowl-
edge Of the road and its twist1ngs ana
turnings. But the road would soon
become cart track in the mountains;
there was no outlet to the north save
by means of the railroad bridge at
Little Butte station, and from some
where I'D the valley and beyond the
railroad bridge came the distance

self as courageous driver OF motor
cars when he came to the last or the
three road crossings. Jerking the car
around sharply at the instant Of track
crossing, he headed straight out over
the ties for the railroad bridge. 1t
was counting of death. To drive
the bridge at racing speed was hazr
ardous enough, but to drive 1t thus N
the face of downcOming train seemed
nothing less than madness.
It was after the car had shot into
the first Of the three bridge spans
that the pursue:s pulled up and
opened fire. Starbuck bent lower over
his wheel, and Smith clutched fol
handholds. Far up the track on the
north side of the river a headlight
flashed in the darkness, and thu
hoarse blast Of a locomotive, whistlin!
for the bridge, echoed and re-echoet
among the hills.
Starbuck drove for his life. Witt
the bridge fairly crossed, he foun'

the oncoming train was now less thai

The Motor Situation
AS Viewed by the Hudson Company
Demand and Supply

Last springs demand for the Hudson Super
Six was at least five times supply.
Thousands of buyers waited weeks for their
cars. Thousands, after waiting long, turned to
other cars. And thousands, when they saw our
waiting list, were discouraged in advance.
We figure that $4,000 people were forced to
take cars which they wanted less.

LADIES' PARLoR IN NEW FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

Dedication today and this week of
the handsome new First Presbyterian
church, Thirty-fourth and Farnam
streets, marks an epoch in the history
of the congregation.
One hundred and twenty-five new
members to be received at the vesper
service at p. m. today will make the
church's membership total about $50.
Over half century ago the congrega
ton was organized with a mere hand
full of members, and until about two
years ago the congregation wor-
shipped at Seventeenth and Dodge
streets.
Growth and progress of the church
has kept pace with the steady ad-
vancement OF the city, until now the
large congregation is about to realize
its desire to have magnificent church
home, up to date in every particular.
1t reflects the size and importance of
the congregation and of the city in
whose life and advancement its people
are and have been prominent factor.
The massive and impressive edlhce
to be dedicated today crowns Farnam
hill and looks out over the city, as a
landmark and monument. For years
the congregation, under the guidance
of Rev. Edwin Hart jerks, D. D., and
a group of earnest lay leaders have
planned and looked forward to this
weeks events.
Women and men Of the congrega-
ton have co-operated under their
leaders to make the edifce complete
and practical, as well as churchlike.
They have made it beautiful in archi-
lecture, religious and worshipful in
spirit, offering Christian welcome to
the newcomer and homelike atmos-
phere to veteran members. 1t repre-
sents an outlay of 100000, most OF
which was realized from proceeds of
old property and large gifts by the
members, including women and chill
dren as we'll as men.
Additional gifts, including dozen
or more of $500 each, will be an
nounced today at the dedication exer-
cises. Elaborate souvenir programs
of the dedication have been prepared
for members.
Among the church's large member
ship are quite number of "shut-in
aged or afflicted, who but for the
forethought and sympathy of other
members might never see the new

United States MarShaIs
Ride in Hobo'S Pullman

United States Marshals Flynn and
Quinley and Clerk OF the Court Hoyt
stole march" on Judge Woodrough
while they were out in the state hold
ing court this week. The four ar.
rived in Crawford, enroute from Nc.
Cook to Chadron.. There they found
there was no train for Chadron till
the next morning.
Wood:ough, who is a great lover OF
fresh air, thereupon hired team and
started to drive the twenty-five miles
in spite of the four inches OF snow
on the ground. Scarcely had he de.
parted when an extra freight pulled
into Crawford. The other four court
officers learned that it was going
through to Chadron. So they prompt
ly piled into the caboose and rolled
away in comparative ease and luxury,
passing the judge on the road. He
was much surprised upon arriving at
the hotel in Chadron after a hard
drive to see his three colaborers loll-
ing at ease in the lobby.
The four will go to Hastings Mon
day, where they have to open court.
The case against George B. Darr of
Omaha, in connection with the de-
funct First National bank of Sutton,
is set for trial there.

Summer Camp for
Y. W. Girls at the
Old Country Club

Plans for remodeling the South
Omaha Country club are being pre-
pared by Fl. D. Frankfurt, the archi-
tect, 432 Bee building. The Young
Women's Christian association is
raising $4,000 for improvements,
which will consist of remodeling the
present club house by installing as
sembly hall, dining room, kitchen,
sleeping porch large enough to accom-
modate 100 people, bath room, locker
room and general Office.
The exterior OF the building will be
beautihed to harmonic with the bal
ance OF the grounds and will have
rustic effect. A swimming pool will
be one OF the principal features, which
will be 30x60 feet in size and provid-
ed with arc light at each corner. A
sand pit will also be installed.
Four tennis courts will be placed
on the space along main road, north
of club house. About twenty tents
will be erected on the ground east
and north OF club house.

Merry Auto Tire Thieves
Are Active Loot GetterS

Latest reports to the police indi-
cate that the fraud Of securing valua-
Bile auto tires from store window dis
plays at the close of the recent Auto
show was worked quite extensively
by a pair OF crooks, who have not yet
been apprehended.
The Fisk Rubber company, 2403
Farnam street, reports that it lost two
tires each from four downtown stores,
where the tires had been loaned for
use as auto week window decorations.
In each case a person 'phoned to the
store, saying boy was being sent to
get the tires and bring them back to
the Fisk store. Then a youth ap-
peared and took the tires away else
where. They have not yet been re-
covered.

not be reserved, but will be assigned
by ushers to the people who go to the
services. Bibles and hymnals in the
pews will be owned by the church
and used in common.
Rev. DR.. jerks, pastor for almost
twenty years, has modestly denied
himself the honor of dedicating the
new church. Instead. he has induced
Rev. Edgar P. Hill, a prominent
Presbyterian minister of Chicago, to
come and preach the dedicatory SER
mons this morning and evening. Rev.
DR.. jerks will receive the largest class
of new members in the history of the
church this afternoon at special
vesper service and communion, when
fifteen infants will also be baptized.
A feature OF all this weeks services
and gatherings at the new church will
be music on the great organ presented
by ex-senator J. Fl. Willard and Miss
Willard, as memorial to the late
Mrs. Willard. William Z. Zeuch, a
noted church organist, has been
brought from Chicago to play the
dedication music on this $4,000 organ.
He will give a special recital Tuesday
evening, when Senator Willard will
formally present the organ to the con-
gregation.
A social gathering and "house
warming" will be held there Wednes-
day evening, with the women of the
church as hostesses. At that affair
the entire church and its splendid par
ish house will be open for public in
spection, as we'll as on Tuesday and
Thursday evenings.
Pastors and members of other
Omaha churches will attend Thursday
evenings activities, in order to meet
and greet the First Presbyterians in
their new home. The Women's So
ciety of the congregation will be in
charge that evening also, which is
designated as fraternal night. Special
invitations to the various affairs have
not been issued, but all friends of the
congregation will be welcomed.

NON-PARTISAN LEAGUERS
CAMPAIGN IN COUNTY
Would Organize Here, Capture Offices
and Carry Out Platform of Society.

The Non-Partisan League move
ment which originated in the Dakotas
last year has arrived in Twin Falls
county and half a dozen men are in
different parts of the county inter
viewing farmers and outlining plans.
l.. c.. Crow, of Pullman, wash, is the
leader of the organizers.
Last week he amour ed a meeting
for the Lucerne district ii the same
time the farm bureau meeting was
called, although not in connection
with this movement. Saturday, night
he spoke in Bull.
The movement in one @ the Dakotas
resulted in the election OF all the can
didates on the Non-part san party.
The platform demands included state
banks, state warehouses. and many
other changes. 1t is said that there is
an initiation fee of SIG attached to
membership. Several who have list
ened to the speakers say that they
cannot quite understand how the
league can elect a full ticket without
going into politics and if they form a
machine and insist on their members
voting a straight ticket for mer run
ming on their platform, that it is diff
ficult to understand how the Non-Par2
tisan party can remain non-partisan.
Whether they have secured many
members or not is not known, yet, as
they have made no statement relative
to the success of their activities.

P~ERVERTING THE FACTS

The Hearst newspapers, which have
been leaning toward pro-Germanism
ever since the war in Europe broke
out and which are still doing every
thing possible within the law" to un-
dermine the confidence of the Ameri-
can people in the administration are
now busily engaged in attacking the
embargo. They represent it as being
the same sort of thing as the British
blockade which Secretary Lansing at
n time rightly denounced as lille
gal and indefensible." They say that
it is our duty to neutral nations not
to enforce an embargo, as we have no
right to do so, any more than Great
Britain had a right to enforce part Of
her illegal blockade.
The whole argument is either false
or misleading. Great Britain illegally
enforced a blockade on legitimate
trade between neutral nations. The
embargo has nothing to do with the
trade between two neutral powers
dSlue from the Oulleu oJdlcS. IL COn-
sists in fo%rbidding our own people to
trade indirectly with the enemy
through neutral powers. Clearly, the
United States has a legal right to say
that goods produced in this country
shall not be shipped to Holland or
other neutral powers for the purpose
of being shipped into Germany. All
she demands is the assurance that
American made goods shall not be
misused in this manner. The lawful
ness of this procedure cannot be
doubted.
The Hearst papers appeal to the
Fathers of the Republic" to sustain
their position. That court is a bad
one for them, since the United States
enforced embargoes on four different
occasions during the first quarter of
a century of its existence.
