Omaha.

Charles Brandon Booth, grandson
OF General William Booth, founder
o the Salvation Army, and son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Ballington
Booth, founders and heads of the
Volunteers of America, gave an ad-
dress on Prison Work in the United
States" before large audience Sum
day morning at the First Presby'
terian church.
Mr.. Booth, who is only 26 years
OF age, gave an exposition of the
methods of prison reform work
started 81 years ago by his mother,
Maud Ballington Booth, daughter-in-
law of General Booth.
"Our purpose is to bring about re-
forms that will make it possible for
the convicts to obtain wage while
they are in prison." said Mr.. Booth.
"The money that they earn would
be turned over to wives and children
OF the prisoners, who would thus be
relieved of the necessity of depend
ing upon public charity for their Sup
port. The men are thus started on
the road to respectability, and when
they leave the prison they have
learned some occupation which they
can afterwards follow"

Many Nev Industries Are
Located Here This Year

This is a record-breaking year for
the location of new industries in the
city and the expansion of the bulk of
those already established Here.
The selection of Omaha as a site
for new industries demonstrates the
appeal it makes to capital as manu-
featuring center because of its large
and stable supply of versatile labor,
its strategic importance as railroad
point, making it one of the continents
best distributing centers, and the
wealth of the great and growing ter
ritory of which it is the commercial
capital.
Omaha, by reason of the variety Of
its industries, and the all embracing
nature of its jobbing houses, is rap
idly getting into a position to serve
every need of its tributary territory
in the way of manufactured goods. 1t
is to the interest of the people of this
territory to give to this city the bulk

Many Omaha Families to
Close Homes for the Winter

Growing scarcity Of domestic help
and the prospect Of Il scarcity OF coal
for heating purposes this winter is
causing many Omaha families to plan
to close their homes the coming win
ter and is the reason for 4 tremen-
dous demand for suites in apartment
houses and hotels.
In fact, the demand Is so great at
the present time that it can hardly be
satisfied, and there are instances OF
persons being offered large bonuses
for the leases. One man who has
lease in a suite in one of the best
known apartment houses OF the city
this week was offered bonus Of 5000
for the suitcase of his apartments for
the winter and refused it.
A number of families hope to es-
cape the rigors of winter and the
problem of keeping houses heated
during the cold weather period by go.

Three Locked Up After
Short Battle on Street

WELDING a piece of two by four
about three feet long, Fred Norman,
Thirteenth and Paul streets, inflicted
serious injuries on the person of

and who secured a position after his
release. He had determined to re-
main honest, but his past record was
betrayed to his employer by an old
prison pal who tried to borrow $50,
which the young man did not have.
The young man was discharged by
his employer. He then made up his
mind never to ask for another job
unless he first told his past record.
He travelled from coast to coast in
vain; his past record always de-
stroyed his chances. One day in a
western city, almost barefoot and in
rags, he entered an Office. The head
of the concern loaned him $40 and
took a chance on the young mans
honesty. He afterwards published a
book which gives him a comfortable
income today.
Help Them Live Straight.
This story illustrates" said Mr..
Booth, "the difficulty which ex-con-
victs have in trying to live honest
lives. The task for all of US is to
take enough interest in ex-convicts
to enable them to stay straight"
Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth main
tains three Hope Halls" for ex-con-
victs to live free of charge until they
can secure positions. One is located
in San Francisco, another in Chicago
and a third in New York City.
Mr.. Booth is an old friend of Maj.
Frank A. Mccormick, head of the
Volunteers of America in Omaha.
Mr.. Booth is in the west on a Chau-
tauqua tour. Sunday afternoon he
addressed a Chautauqua audience at
Tekamah and in the evening spoke
at the First Methodist church in

y. Kellogg. Chairman OF the Special
Standing Committee II the American
Newspaper Publishers Association.
Government agencies are now consld-
ering a plan for pro-rating distribution
OF print paper which he said would
mean smaller papers and curtailment
OF employment.
This action" said Mr.. Kellogg. 'un-
doubtedly will be taken in the near fu.
ture. This will. of course. lessen op-
portunities for profits to some news
papers and cause serious losses to
others"
Mr.. kellogg's remarks were made be-
fore the convention OF the international
Steretoypers and Electrotypers Union.
The speaker reminded his hearers
that the war had increased the ex-
penses OF newspapers without aug
menting revenues. Increased prices for
newspapers themselves has not equalled
the enormous increases in expenses
which have increased, he said. at a rate
far greater than the living expenses Of
the individual.

ANTI.BOlSHEVIK REVOLT

Reunion of Russia and Ukraine and
Return to War Seen if Soviet

STOCKHOLM, June IL Omitted Press)
The action OF the Bolsheviki in put
ting Moscow under martial law IS
probably due to the uncovering OF a
plot aimed at the overthrow OF the
Bolsheviki by simultaneous uprIslngs
in Moscow and Petrograd.
Prince Kropotkin, T.. Savinkoff and
number OF Cadet party leaders we're
involved in the plot.
The return of Russia TO the war Is
Inevitable. Either this or Russia will
become extinct. But before anything
definite can be done the Bolsheviki
must go, according TO the opinion Of
most Russian observers.
The separation OF Russia and
Ukraine Is purely artificial. Already
the Ukrainians are revolving against
Germany and Hetman Skoropadsxy.
The moment the Bolsheviki go a re-
union OF Ukraine and Russia is GER
tain, a united front will be formed and
the Brest- Litovsk treaty will be abro-
gated.
