R0Gtnn Wool.

Boston, Mass, Dec. 20.-The Commercial
Bulletin tomorrow will say:
Everything in the wool trade has been
subordinated to the government wool auc-
lions. The first sale Of foreign woods
showed a desire on the manufacturers
part for the best fine stapled woods and
also for the best medium woods, the for
mer being off about per cent for Aus
tralian and the best medium South Amer
lean woods about 10 per cent off from
government issue prices.
THE second days sale was entirely
Of domestic woods. Quarter blood woods
were keenly sought but in light supply
and brought about issue prices on the
average. Three eighths staple woods were
off 10 and half blood 10 and is from
issue prices. Fine and fine medium staple
territories were off IL to 10 and fine az
fine medium clothing woods, 15 to 20
per cent from mill issue prices. Dealers
bought very little. Poor woods were ne
elected and Withdrawals heavy.
THE goods auctions have shown
strength for best fabrics this week and the
manufacturers are considered to be figur-
ing for immediate business, rather than
for forward business. The foreign mar
kets report little change"

REED CLASHES
With BECKER At
SENATE INQUIRY
Senator Accuses N. Y. Official
of Misusing His Position
in Disclosing Hearst's
Connection With Bolo.

Washington, Dec. 20.-Most Of to.
days session of the senate commit.
tee investigating German propa.
ganda was taken up with tits be-
tween Alfred L. Becker, assistant
attorney general of New York. and
Senator Reed of Missouri, who is
not member of the committee.
Senator Reed, in cross-examining
the New York official, who had been
on the stand two days, charged that
Merton z. Lewis, attorney general
of New York, and Becker misused
their official positions in making
public information contained in az
fidavits secured by them under spe-
cial war legislation. These affidav-
its referred to alleged meetings OF
William Randolph Hearst with
Bolo Pasha, executed in France as
traitor, and former Ambassador
Won Bernstorff.
Admits Political Motive.
Mr.. Becker denied the charge,
saying that the affidavits made pub
lie were not secured under the spe-
cial war legislation. He said that
certain disclosures purporting to
show association of Hearst and Bolo
were made public "for what frank
ly admit were political purposes.
He justified this course on the
ground that their publication was in
the public interest.
The information under discussion
was given to New York newspapers
mainly in August, September and
October when Becker was a candi-
date for the republican nomination
for attorney general of New York
and Attorney General Lewis was
candidate for republican nomination
for governor against Charles S.
Whitman. 1t appeared from the
cross-examination that Hearst was
considered supporter of Whitman
and Senator Reed sought to show
that Lewis and Becker intended to
damage Whitman by attacking
Hearst.

Famous American League
Umpire Dies of Pneumonia

Boston, Dec. 20,-Francis "Silk"
O'Loughlin, famous as an American
league umpire, died in his apart
ments here today after a short i'll.
ness of influenza and pneumonia.
O'Loughlin umpired for the Amer.
lean league since its organization
and was rated as one Of the pic
turesque figures in the baseball
world. His "ball tuh," his long
out "s-t-r-i-k-e," and snappy "fouled-
er" are known the country over.
These and a series Of other exclama.
tons, accompanied by gestures to
indicate a player as safe or out at
base, were peculiar to O'Loughlin.
He was born in Rochester, N. Y,
48 years ago. In 1902 he was ap-
pointed by Ban Johnson as an Amer
lean league umpire.

Army Trucks Not Here Yet
to HELD Christmas Rush

Thousands of Christmas packages
have been mailed at the Omaha post
office every day this week. Long
lines of bundle-laden persons have
stood in front of the postoffice win
dows every day from early in the
morning until the building was
closed at night.
Postoffice officials say that very
few Christmas packages were mailed
until this week when the usual rush
resulted.
Shoppers say that the street car
strike and the flu prevented them
from doing their Christmas shop
ping early"
Employees say they are handling
the large amount of mail we'll and
have not yet been swamped.
The seven army trucks which were
promised to the postofice for help
in delivering the parcel post pack
ages during the Christmas week
have not yet arrived in Omaha. They
were to be brought here from Lin
coin and, it is thought that the wet
weather and the muddy roads have
DELAYED them.

TALE OF BRUTAL
TREATMENT BY
TURKS IS TOLD
Relief Committee Secretary
and U. S. Vice Consul Kept
in Prison Many Days
Without Food.

Saloniki, Dec. 20.-(By Associated
Press. )-Turkey's hostility towards
relief of Armenian and Syrian refu-
gees during the war is strlkingly
illustrated by the experiences OF
Charles A. Dana, former executive
secretary of the Armenian relief
committee at Beirut and CONSTANT
nople, and DR.. William S. Nelson,
former American vice consul at
Tripoli, Syria. Both we're represen-
tatives of the Presbyterian mission
board and were thrown into Jail by
the Turks and kept without food or
water FOR many days. They have
just arrived here, after weeks jour
ney from Constantinople.
Thirty-two Frozen to Death.
"On November 10, 1917, after all
the records and correspondence of
the Presby ,erian board were seized
by the Turkish police at Beirut, |
was imprisoned for week and then
ordered to leave the city, without
any explanation being given" Mr..
Dana told the correspondent. with
my wife and child | started for Con-
stantinople, travelling in open cars
and filthy cattle trains, exposed to
the bitter weather.
AT Karaman our train was stalled
for three days and nights. We had
no food or means with which to keep
warm on a plain covered with two
feet of snow and in temperature
below zero. Thirty-two persons on
our train were frozen to death.
Il offered $1,000 for a camel trans
port to Konia, a journey of three
hours. This was declined as not be-
ing sufficient. My wife and child
have not recovered yet from the ter
ribe ordeal.
Put in Secret Prison.
after living in Constantinople six
months | was thrown into a secret
prison at Stamboul with 80 criminals,
some of whom were chained to the
walls. Neither food nor water was
procurable. Afterwards | was sent
to the military prison, where I was
kept until September 3, my cellmates
being an insane Turk and an Egyp-
tian spy, The mad man tried twice
to cut my throat while | was asleep.
Most of the time | was without
food except for a crust Of black
bread. Often | was denied water.
Finally. was released through the
efforts of the naval attache Of the
German embassy, who said he knew
my imprisonment was an act Of re-
prisal to punish me for having aided
prosecuted Armenians.
The Turkish authorities refused
to return the mission boards records
or to state the grounds for my i'm
prisonment. | intend to proceed
