D'Annunziio' S Forces
In Fiiume Increased
By New Volunteers
By EDWARD c. STRUT.
international News Service Staff
Correspondent.

Rome, Oct. 23.-Even the most
sanguine Of optimists can not deny
that the situation in Italy is becom-
ing more serious every day. Ga
briele D'Annuzio's headstrong in
itiative at Fiume has placed Italy in
vertiable deadlock, the ultimate is
( sue of which is more than doubtful
and may lead to even more serious
international complications.
D'Annunzio proclaims his SOW
ereignty over Fiume and has sent
messages to the cities of Dalmatia,
Spalato, Trau, Ragusa and Sebenico,
afl peopled by subjects of purely
Venetian blood, announcing his in
tention to rescue them from the
threatened Jugo-Slav invasion"
He has at his disposal force Of
10000 regulars, which is daily in
creasing, owing to the influx of
volunteers, most of whom are Off
GERS of noteworthy regulations. In
addition, this force is supplemented
by fleet composed Of first class
ships, headed by the Dante Aligliere.
Italy's most powerful dreadnaught.
& Some Italians believe there is
something significant in the fact
that the biggest battleship to 60
over to the captors of Fiume should
bear the name OF the poet who
prophetically mapped out the boun-
daYies of italy, making them extend
from the Alps to the Gulf Of Inar-
haYo,

found in the satchel of the hus-
band. The affinity then stated that
she did not have money with which
to pay her fare to Omaha. The
husband re-entered the dining room
and was about to hand the girl a
$40 bill, with his wife observing the
scene from the sidewalk. Mr..
Breen admonished the husband to
be more discreet, that if he wished
to give the girl money, it would be
better not to do so in view of his
wife.
"The stenographer's clothes were
disarranged in the melee, so we ad-
vised her to restore her appearance
before she went upon the street.
"Mr. Weaver, Mr.. Breen and my
self went down to Lincoln last We'd
nesday and were together continu-
ally until we returned to Omaha. I
don't remember of ever having been
so closely associated with two men
as l was on that occasion"
Girl Young and. Pretty.
Mr.. Ure referred to the stenog-
grapher as young, small and pretty.
He related that after the women had
been separated in the dining room,
Mr.. Breen made the observation that
he did not blame the wife for being
jealous of the attractive little affini-
ty who looked quite smart" before
the informal introduction to the
wife.
City Attorney Weaver, who Fri
day denied that he knew the prin-
cipals, yesterday admitted he did. He
declared, however, he did not believe
it would serve any good purpose to
reveal their names.
Mr.. Weaver added that he be-
lieved the husband and wife who
were involved in the scene, are now
living together and that reconcilia-
ton will follow.
II didn't take much interest in the
affair until the little stenographer
called my name in her appeal for
assistance" Mr. Weaver said. AT
that juncture Mr.. Ure and Mr..
Breen went to the girls rescue and
separated the affinity and the wife.
Il won't give the name of the girl.
What's the use? The husband and
wife left Lincoln together for Oma-
ha in their automobile and it would
only make matters worse to give
the name of the stenographer.
"Yes, I heard the wife speak to
Mr.. Breen. She said: You know
me, Mr.. Breen, and you know my
two daughters. l am decent
woman and my husband has been
going with this woman for four or
FIVE years "The wife, l would say,
is about IS years old"
Mr.. Weaver wishes to deny the
statement that he and Omaha COM
.panons checked out of the Victoria
hotel as soon as the melee occurred.
He said they had checked out be-
fore they went into the dining room
to have the lunch.

Shaw Says the People Are
Scuttling the Ship Of Labor

because we have no trains, no
coal, no traffic. What would you
have?. You were offered social
ism, but wouldn't have it. You in
sisted upon private control and
free contract. You have both. If
you don't like them now that they
are applied ali around, you must
lump them; for you were fully
and urgently warned by prophet
after prophet. But you stoned the
prophets; it now seems likely you
will have only stones to eat. AS
a sauce you can eat your own fine
words about capitalistic prosper
ity.
My advice is to pay what the
men demand with good grace,
then do what should have been
done years ago-nationalize the
railways and make labor, COM
pulsory by compelling everyone,
rich and poor, to do his quota OF
his country's work. This is much
more important than compelling
them to fight.
Once nationalize labor effec-
lively and the profteering and
owning will lose their charm.
Striking never had any charm to
lose-it is poor fun starving on an
enemy's doorstep.
Editors Note-England, like
America, is threatened with gi-
gantic strikes.

London, Oct. 25.-lt is insidious
to say that labor is sinking
ship. We are scuttling it, have
been since I was born, and long
before.
We have established CONNER
cial system on the understanding
that every individual, every inter-
est, every trade, is to fight for its
own hand without regard for the
welfare of the community, or the
will of God or any political, SEN
timsntal or metaphysical consider
ati,sns whatsoever.
Formerly only the bourgeoisie,
being education, carried out this
policy. Now the workers are be-
ginning to carry it out. Just as
the employers locked them out.
kicked them out, and starved them
out, until they had to take what
wages they could get and work
what hours were ordered, thus
holding them UP for ransom by
cutting off their access to ma
terials and plants, so the workcts
are now profiting by their in
struction and example and are Of
ganizing in their several trades
to hold up the community in pre-
cisely the same way.
It serves the community right

"A pretty Omaha stenographer,
formerly employed in the Office Of a
city official, and suspected Of being
the girl with the husband of the
woman who caused the near riot in
the dining room of Lincoln hotel
last Saturday, denies that she was
anywhere near the exciting scene in
which City Attorney Frank L.
Weaver, Acting Mayor w. G. Ure
and Attorney John P. Breen played
prominent parts.
Despite the fact that the girl, who
now is employed in railroad Office.
answers in detail the description of
the woman who was attacked by the
3fate wife when she took the couple
completely by surprise, the Omaha
etenographer denies emphatically
that she had anything to do with
the affair.
Also Knows the Girl.
The stenographer admitted, how
ever, to reporter for The Bee that
she knew all about what took place
in the hotel dining room. She re-
fused to state whether or not her
former employer, had told her.
She also admitted she knew the
girl who was attacked. She declared
the resemblance between herself and
the victim of the attack was so
marked that they readily could be
mistaken for each other.
II do not want it to be said that
{ had anything to do with this af-
!air," declared the stenographer. II

veal the source of my information.
The girl looks great deal like me.
Indeed. it is no surprise to me to
hear that she was mistaken for me.
She is we'll known in Omaha and is
prominent in business way. l do
not know the man, but I have been
told he is prominent in the insurance
business.

The young woman talked to the
reporter over the telephone, and de-
elared she would call at The Bee

knew about the affair in which she
was said to have taken part. In
stead of keeping her engagement
she called on the telephone and said

deep secret by those concerned TO,
nearly q week.
Mr.. Ure, in company with Mr..
Weaver, and Mr.. Breen, were
dining together, according to their
own statements, and merely inter
vened when they observed the little
stenographer getting the worst OF
the engagement.
The acting mayor asserts that the
stenographer called to City Attor-
ney Weaver by name and that the
enraged wife addressed Mr.. Breen
in terms which indicated acquaint-
ance.
Mr.. Ure is satisfied that the hus-
band and wife and the affinity are
all Omaha people, but he insists
that he does not know their names.
"Mr. Weaver, Mr.. Breen and my
self had just about an hour until
the departure of our train for Oma-
ha, when we went into the Victoria
dining room for some lunch" said
the acting mayor. "At the second
table from where we we're seated
there were two men and two women,
whose actions did not arouse any
particular interest until the scene
occurred. The table at which we
were seated was intended for two
persons, but Mr.. Weaver drew up
chair and thus we sat together
while we ate. .s.....
Pulls Stenog's Hair.
"An elderly, or perhaps middle
aged woman, entered and walked
over to the table where the two
men and two women were seated.
She almost Immediately grabbed
the stenographer's hat and uttered
denunciation which was more
forceful than elegant. She then
took hold of the younger woman's S
hair and began to pull it and tried
to jerk out a handful. The young
woman placed her hands to the
back of her head to prevent her
hair being pulled out.
"The wife was more than match
for the little stenographer, who, in
her desperation called the name OF
Mr.. Weaver, as if pleading for help.
We separated the combatants. The
husband in the case then asked his
wife to precede him out of the front
door and he would follow. The
wife refused to go first, whereupon
Mr.. Breen told the husband to pro
ceed first. The wife wanted to get
at the stenographer again.
"After the separation of the wom-
en-, the wife addressed Mr.. Breen by
name, stating that she was a re-
spectacle woman, that she had
grown daughters and that her hus-
band had been keeping that girl for
four years.
