Unusual Friendship
Leads Noted Britisher
to American Shores

New York, Sept. 3.-An unusual
story of friendship between two men
in high office was told here today by
Lieut.. Col. Thwaites. British as
sistant provost marshal, following
the announcement that Sir William
Tyrell would accompany Viscount
Grey as his private secretary when
the latter arrives here at the end of
the present month to serve as Brit
ish ambassador to Washington.
Sir William was private secretary
to Lord Grey, then Sir Ward Grey,
at the outbreak of the war, when
the new ambassador was British sec
rotary for foreign affairs. When Sir
Edward Grey retired Sir William
was made undersecretary of foreign
affairs and held that important office
for the greater part of the war. One
of his two sons was killed at the
front, and the father determined to
retire from public life.
When his old chief consented to

dor Sir William at once came for

MANUFACTURED
GOODS At ROOT
Jefferis Introduces Bill Re.
pealing Luxury Levy and
Providing New Mode
of Collection.

Washington, Sept. 3.-Represen,
tative Jefferies. who returned from
Charleston, S. c., Wednesday
where he accompanied sub.
committee of the special committee
charged with the investigation OF
the War department. introduced a
bill on his return which is certain
to attract wide attention, especially
in manufacturing circles. 1t is a
bill to repeal all the present luxury
and excise taxes contained in the
revenue law of 1918, and to substi-
tute therefor a tax of one-half OF
one per cent on all manufacturers,
manufactured food stuffs excepted.
In letter to Chairman Fordney of
the ways and means committee,
Congressman Jefferis explaining the
scope of his measure says:
I'm the latest census of manufac-
lures, made in 1914, the total Of
manufactures in the United States
was S24,246,453,000 Deducting $4,-
COL $4,000, the total value of manu-
featured foodstuff for that period,
we have remaining $40, 5S4,6 100000
A tax of one-half Of one per cent on
this amount would yield $97,925,045
annual revenue.
"As the value of manufactures
has greatly increased during and
since the war, it may be seen that
such a tax would net at least $780,
100000 yearly revenue.
although no figures are avail
able on the probable cost of collect
ing the tax now in force, reports
from various merchants and trades
people in my district have con-
WINGED me that in many cases the
cost of collecting the present tax
is nearly as great as the tax COL
lected. Then. too, the necessity of
computing each sale is a serious
handicap to progressive business.
and works hardship on all deal
ers.
when returns are made to the
internal revenue collector, that Of
fetal will require a small army of
clerks, auditors and accountants, to
tabulate them. By collecting the
tax at the source of manufacture,
this cumbersome method will be
obviated and the cost of collection
will be correspondent less

ner of Thirteenth street and the al
ley, declared he saw the affair from
the beginning until he saw the ne
gro drop dead from a bullet fired
from the revolver of one Of the po-
licemen, who followed him down the
alley from Fourteenth street. He
said the negro was running out
of the mouth of the alley from the
west side of Thirteenth street when
the second shot was fired. Just
before this, he said. Scott begged
for his pursuers not to shoot.
almost Immediately after this, "
the witness declared, II heard the
second shot. Scott exclaimed my
God and staggered into Thirteenth
street. He wavered to the east side
of the street and died in the mouth
of the alley"
Hit by Second Shot
Bevington was sure Scott was
shot before the last shot was fired
by Holman. He said the last shot
was fired after the bell boy was
wounded. This shot, he said, came
from the north side of the alley.
Bevington declared the negro turned
half way around to plead with his
pursuers not to kill him when the
fatal bullet struck him in the left
side.
Substantiate Statements.
Francis E. Boyle. who accom-
panied Billiard and Shanahan, prac-
tically substantiated the statements
of his companions.
T. ]. MacMahon, also an eye wit
ness to the shooting, declared he
heard one of the detectives cry
out after the negro as he raced down
the alley from the hotel, Kill the
Roy Stewart, a guest of the St.
James hotel, just across the street
from where Scott was killed, also
heard one of the policemen call out.
Shoot the -" He also de-
clared the negro begged before he
was shot, Don't shoot me; l have
done nothing"
Mrs. Edna January, APO South
Thirteenth street, said she heard the
negro exclaim, ooh, Lord" after
he was shot.

ELECTION PLAN
FOR CONVENTION
Omaha Attorney Will Appeal
to Supreme Court for
Decision Before No.
vember Vote.

Distric Judge Troup, in decision
handed down yesterday, upheld the
constitutionality of the law provid-
ing for the election of delegates to
the constitutional convention.
He refused the petition of B. S.
Baker, an attorney. who sought an
injunction to prevent Election Com
missioner Moorhead from proceed
ing with the election of delegates to
the constitutional convention on
November 2.
Construction OF Law.
In rendering his decision, Judge
Troup declared that there are most
serious doubts" regarding the con-
struction to be put upon the law
which designates the manner of
electing these delegates.
under these circumstances" he
said, practice has decreed that the
trial court shall decline to hold a
law unconstitutional for the time
being, but shall pass the question on
to the supreme court, whose pecu-
liar function it is to decide such
questions"
The case has been brought into
the courts in order to get de-
cision from the supreme court, so
that the legality of any constitution
which might be drafted by the pro-
posed convention may never be
questioned.
Where Fight Centers.
The fight centers around a pro-
vision of the constitution which says
that delegates shall be elected "in
the same manner as members of the
house of representatives"
Judge Troup pointed out that
there are two theories, each having
much to support it, One is that the
clause of the original constitution
providing for election of constitu
tional convention delegates means
they should be elected in the same
manner as members of the legisla-
ture were elected when the original
constitution was drafted. The other
is that the clause means the dele
gates should be elected in the same
manner as members of the legisla-
ture are elected at the time dele
gates to a new constitutional con-
vention are to be elected.
The case will be carried on to
the supreme court at once by Mr.
Baker and will be advanced on the
calendar there so as to get final
division on the question before No
vember 2, the date of the election.

OFF Again, On Again,
Gone Again, Wedding
Ties for the Combs

Another little chapter in the
many matrimonial ventures of Eta
Combs and Charles Addison Combs
was finished yesterday when Dis
trict Judge Sears granted Eta
a divorce. Charles is a street car
conductor.
They were married January 9,
1917. Each had been married be-
fore. Charles brought two sons from
his first marriage to bless their
home and Eta contributed daugh-
ter by her first marriage.
After a year all was not going
so merrily. The daughter of his
wife slapped him, Charles alleged
in his first petition for divorce from
Eta. There were other unpleas-
antnesses, he said, such as threats
to kill him. He obtained divorce
in the district court February Is,
1918.
But he found it equally impossi-
BILE to live without Eta as he
thought it to live with her. SO he
wooed and won her again and the
wedding bells pealed for the pair
the second time, April 26 1918.
All went merrily for perhaps three
of four weeks. Then discord again
set in and finally Charles filed suit
for divorce, July 20, 1918 After a
few weeks he Withdrew his suit.
They lived together again. Eta
sued for div zee March 20, 1919.
She withdrew that suit after short
time and they tried it again.
On July 8, 1919, Eta filed an
other suit for divorce. On the al
legations made in that suit, Judge
Sears granted her a divorce yester-
day. She said he was cruel to her.
Her daughter, who was accused
of the Shaping, testified that step
papa was jealous of her mother.

Roumania Again Takes Up
Time of Peace Congress-

Paris, Sept. 3.-The supreme
council today again considered the
failure of Roumania to respond in
writing to the notes of the council
and discussed the sending of a rep
resentative of high standing to
Bucharest to insist upon an imme-
diate reply. No agreement was
reached, but it is probable decision
will be arrived at tomorrow.
Apparently the council has no de-
sire to select an American for the
mission. as the European members
are said to feel that he would be
likely to prove too outspoken.

The days of prairie schooners and rickety old wagons drawn by mules or cayuses over rut-gouged and rock strewn desert trails have given place to the modern automobile with springs and pneumatic tires.
 The old roads had to suffice for the early mode of travel, but the effectiveness and utility of ear is greatly lessened if it has to travel over the old style trail.
 The automobile has come to stay in Arizona, and it is being used in increasing numbers every year. In order to encourage the use of the auto and gasoline truck, which are of great economic advantage in mar keting products and distributing mer- chandse, it will be necessary for Arl- zona to keep pace with the rest of the states in the Union in the matter of road building.
 The Arizona State Legislature is awake to this fact already, and its energetic members are striving to get an appropriation for the i'm, provement of many of the principal roads. There are several fairly good highways in Arizona now, suit able for automobile traffic, but when the appropriation for good roads is authorized, and the work is complet'

THE CENTURY GROWS SHORT


 Will century elapse between the passage of the Atlantic by steamship and its passage by air? A hundred years ago on March, 22, next the Sa- vannah started from the port of that name, and on June 20 was in the Mer- sey. The coming transatlantic flight casts more and more definite shad- ow before. Recently the British air.. ship which is being groomed for the voyage made successful trial trip, and competitively hurried prepara- tions are being made in various coun- tries to have airplanes ready for the first favorable moment. Every sport manwould bet that the airlnen will successfully have performed the feat before Savannah begins her centenary celebration. The first steamship re- quired almost a month for its voyage, and proceeded at great leisure from England to Russia. The new British airship could cover the Atlantic in 50 hours and proceed without stopping as far west as Denver.

 An industrial honor flag will be given to every lodge, organization or industrial concern making subscrip- tions to the Victory loan with room on the flag for inscribing 100 names of subscribers of the concern. The national honor flag will be awarded by the Treasury Department to the state making the largest over subscription to the loan.
