more than score of farm organiza-,
tons were invited to send delegates.
Federation of labor officials said
that assurances had been received

Entire Production :
OF Gold in Ontario
Being Sent to U. S.

Ottawa, Dec. l2.-Twenty million
dollars in gold is being sent to New
York in an effort to stabilize the
demoralized Canadian exchange in
that market, it was learned Friday.
Some Of the shipment already has
been delivered and the remainder
is on the way.
The adverse exchange rate has
resulted in suspension by the post
office department of the issuance
of money orders payable in the
United States. The ban will not
be lifted until the exchange rate
is stabilized.
The shipment of $2O,0o0,O0o of
gold to New York by the Canadian
government is equivalent to the ex-
port of the entire production of the
gold mines of northern Ontario.
from January of the present year
until June, 1920, says the Toronto
Evening Telegram. That paper
also points to the importation of
6,H3 pleasure automobiles valued
at $3.50, $40 from the United States
last year. and 1896 valued at $6o64,-
594 for the first seven months of
the present fiscal year, as a con-
spicuous item in the adverse trade
balance which compels the expor-
tation of gold.

RESERVATIONS
Are ACCEPTABLE
TO The FRENCH!
High Authority" Makes
Statement Following Visit
OF Premier CIemen-
Ceau to London.

Paris, Dec. 12.-Great interest has
been aroused here by Premier Glenn
enceau's visit to London and con-
siderable speculation has appeared
as to the exact purpose of his trip.
It has been learned from high author
ity, however, that the official point
OF view of the French premier's mis-
sion differs from that of the press
in that his purpose is not, as has
generally been represented, to find
a substitute for the support for
France which has been expected
from the United States. 1t was, this
authority declares, to consult with
the British premier regarding a num-
Der of questions that require more
or less urgent treatment which the
United States in the present situation
is not able to take up efficiently.
Counts Upon American Aid.
France, according to the same au-
thority, counts as much today as
ever upon the moral aid of America,
and upon her material aid in case of
need, but the official expression of
French opinion, it is pointed out, is
particularly difficult, as it risks CIV
iEg the impression of interference
i'll American politics. For instance,
it is stated in quarters generally con-
sidered highly authoritative that the
French government does not find
anything impossible of acceptance in
the reservations to the covenant of
the league of nations voted by the
United States senate.
Visits King George.
London, Dec. I'm. Clemenceau
went to Buckingham palace this
where he had tea with
King George and Queen Mary. In
the evening he dined with Earl Cur
zon of Kedelston and Lady Curzon
and later went to a theater.
1t has been learned from French
source that the disposition displayed
by the British representatives in the
conference is considered excellent"
and that both sieds are pleased with
the progress of negotiations.

DRY PARTY may
HOLD NATIONAL
MEETING HERE
Omaha Likely to Get Conven-
ton it Nebraska's Claims
Are Recognized-Lincoln
Also to Make Bid.

If the plans of the state execu-
tive committee carry. the 1920 ma
tional prohibition convention will be
held in Nebraska next summer, ac-
cording to Rev. ]. A. Murray, Of
University Place, Neb., who was in
Omaha last night.
Mr.. Murray, who is chairman Of
the state committee, declared that
the matter already had presented
itself as subject for consideration,
and that the probability is a COM
mittee, representing the prohibition
party OF the state, would be sent
to Chicago to present the claims
of Nebraska when the national COM
mittee meets in that city within the
next two months.
1t is believed that Omaha will be
decided on as the logical city in
which to hold the convention, in
the event the national committee
votes to hold the gathering in Ne
braska, although it is understood
Lincoln will make bid for it.
The proposition already has been
called to the attention of V. G.
Hinshaw of Chicago, chairman of
the national committee. Mr.. Hin
shaw is a former Nebraskan and is
said to have declared he would like
to have the convention come to this
state.
1t is expected 1000 delegates will
be in attendance to participate in
placing a national ticket in the field
for the approaching election.
The prohibition convention was
held in Minneapolis four years ago.

MEXICO DENIES
IT FAVORED The
SAN DIEGO PLAN
Charges Made by Senator Fall
Arouses Indignation and
Retaliation by Minister
Of Interior.

Mexico City, Dee. l2.-Mexico
has never contemplated or consid-
cred the adoption of the "plan Of
San Diego" for the purpose of Sc
curing portions OF the southwestern
territory of the United States, de-
clared Manuel Aguirre Berlanga,
minister of interior, today. This
statement was made when the min
ister's attention was called to
charges recently made by United
States Senator Fall of New Mexico.
Senator Falls charges were con-
iained IN a memorandum submitted
to President Wilson on December
8. Among other things, the sena-
tor alluded to plot said to have
originated at small town, San
Diego, Tex, and made public at
Monterey, Mex, early in 1915. It
was declared that on February 20,
1915, there should arise a revolu-
ton against the government Of the
United States, that the independence
Of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona,
Colorado and upper California
would be proclaimed and that these
states after being declared an indie
pendent republic would later request
annexation to Mexico.
In conclusion, Senator Falls re-
port said "at the very moment of
closing this investigation of the acts
of Carranza in favoring and attempt
ing to carry out the plan of San
Diego, evidence was brought to the
committee not only of the propa-
ganda efforts of the Carranza gov
eminent, but further evidence show
ing that Carranza himself directly
was now engaged in assisting in the
formulation or at least with the
knowledge that plans were being
formed similar to those in the plan
of San Diego in some respects

PLAN OF
IRISH RULE IN
Deep MYSTERY
Government Press Even Silent
On Anything to Idicate
j.. Lloyd Georges
Views.
By L. R. MURDOCH.
Universal Service staff Correspondent.
Special Cable Dispatch.

Universal Service staff Correspondent.
London, Dec. 1.-THE govern
ment continues to shroud its plans
for an Irish settlement in deep mys-
terry and even the press that usu-
ally presents its views does not at
tempt to indicate what Lloyd
George actually proposes to do.
However, from a source usually
we'll informed, Universal Service
learns that the proposed measure
will provide for dominion home rule
with two Provincial Parliaments,
one in Belfast and the other in Dub
lin, and nominated" council for
the whole of Ireland having the
same powers as the House of Lords,
the lord lieutenant presiding. Mem
bers of the two Parliaments are to
compose this council.
Not Home Rule.
All indications are that the meas
ure will be far short OF genuine
home rule.
Questions of finance. customs, ex-
else and income tax will be reserved
for the Imperial Parliament, with
some sort of promise of gradual
transference" to Ireland.
The policing of Ireland also will
be Temporarily" reserved to the i'm
perial government and the army and
navy permanently.
With the veto power, army and
navy, foreign policy, police, finance
and certain" legislation controlled
from London, the ''home rule" act
which the government is said to be
about to offer seems shorn of all the
main concessions for which ireland
has been clamoring.
May Change Plan.
Under this plan, it is apparent, the
Irish government would be virtually
impotent since it would not be con-
trolling what is the backbone of the
entire living body of any real gov
eminent.
There is small doubt that such is
the present plan of the Lloyd
George ministry, but the latter has
been doing, considerable fencing of
late on important questions, and a
change of front would not be with
out precedent.

Flat broke two years ago-today
ranking among the millionares.
That is the tale of 30-year-old Remy
Dorr of New Orleans, adding one
more romantic story to the history
of he turf's plungers. And it was
horse named Incidence that
started him on the way. Dorr, who
was the real discoverer and de-
veloper of Pete Herman, the pres
ent bantamweight champion, was
for years completely ignored by
tickle dame fortune. Try as he
would nothing would break right
for him. Then came a change, so
sudden as to be almost bewilder-
ing. By careful stinting Dorr had
accumulated a bankroll of $500
He was aiming for $500 to put
into business partnership. having
decided that the track bookies
would get no more of his money.
Along came a friend with good
thing" an absolute cinch." The
name of it was Incidence. And the
horse won at II to one. Dorr left
the track $4,000 richer. After that
he became regular at Louisville.
Luck stuck with him. Then came
Sir Oliver, on which he cleaned up
$4,000. A $1,000 pariay on two
horses a even money added $4,000
to his roll. Big winnings became a
regular thing until today he has run
his roll past 100000. The
young plunger lacks the unlimited
bankrolls of John w. Gates and the
famous Pittsburgh Phil" but in
ratio to his wealth Door is plung-
at even greater rate than the
plungers of the old days. It is
many years since the track has
boosted plungers of the old type,
Remy Dorr is in there making
modern turf history.

advices indicate there are ample
forces to quell any disturbances, but

1t was probably the blue yellow'back'

to be common bird in those woods;
but to my young fancy it seemed Ike
some fairy bird, so curiOusly marR'u

Murderer's Oversight.

Perhaps the smallest creature that
ever unrolled the curtain from before
an unsuspected murder was that
which convicted the murderer of Mr..
and Mrs. Newtown in 1898. A sta
tionmaster sold ticket ut small sta.
ton and received silver coin dated
1926, rather oddly marked. He put
the coin in his pocket and placed an
other in the till, and that afternoon
showed 1T to some Of his friends. A
man recognized 1t Immediately as one
that Newtown had kept for some time
as a pocketpiece and lucky coin, and
this was the first hint gained by the
detectives as to where they should
look for the murderer, who was sub
sequently apprehended and convicted.
It was a minute trifle, this handing
over coin, but it brought the muir
derer to the just punishment which
his crime deserved. Had he CHANGED
on any other piece Of money in his
pocket-and it was afterwards known
that he had pocketful of money
he would in all probability have re-
mained undiscovered.-Londo Mail.

DOGS ONCE WERE WORSHIPED
Custom Practised In Many Countries
in Past Ages-Ethiopia Had
One for a Monarch.

Dog worship spread from Egypt to
many other countries, where it took
different forms. The Romans sacri-
feed dogs to Anubis, to the lesser dog
star, Pr0cyon, and to Pan, and the
Greeks made similar offerings to- pro-
pitiate Proserpine, Mars. Hecate and
other imaginary beings of whom they
stood in fear, says National Geographic
Magazine.
IIutarch says: "T'he circle which
touches and separates the two henis-
phcrcs, and which on account OF this
division has received the name Of
horizon, is called Anubis. 1t is rep
