This seems to be the reason why the

From her statements it appears that
the young couple came TO this city
from Princeton following the COM
mencement exercises. They obtained
a license. she states, and drove in a
taxicab to the West Side in search OF
as obscure a parsonage as could be
found.
They we're we'll satisfied with the West

is a small structure on West Forty-tour h

there was no likelihood whatever of the

Bride TeIephoned His Father.

Mrs. Niles explained that when her hus-
band did not return TO the Commodore
Hotel on Wednesday she became greatly
worried. She called his father on the
telephone and told him of the secret
marriage and OF her youthful husbands
disappearance.
1t was then that Arthur l.. Niles,
Sr., broker In business at 80 Broad
way, and another son, Philip b. Niles. a
Princeton student, visited the town resi-
dence of the family and found the body
OF the young bridegroom. They reported
the suicide at once to the police but
said nothing whatever about the mar
riage.
The young mans family continued
yesterday TO refuse TO discuss the afrair
but they issued to the newspapers a
formal notice of the marriage.
Young Mrs. Niles said this had been
done by agreement between the two fam
lilies. I'VE really had intended 90 make
the announcement before" she said,
but, OF course. our plan was upset by
the occurrence"

year. They knew that We were en-
saged"

E. G. McGilton, attorney for the
Omaha Automobile club, asserts
that he did not state at the Hotel
Fontenelle on Thursday night that
police protection afforded Omaha
automobile owners by the police de-
partment is not proficient.
This statement does me an injus-

Mr.. Ringer and the police force of
the city, for the reason that I did
not use the language quoted, either
in form or substance, nor did I refer

that the police protection afforded
automobile owners in Omaha is IN

Eleven years ago Capt. eddie"
Rickenbacker,/ now famed as an
"ace," made Omaha in his territory
as an automobile agent. He and
Dick Stewart were pals then and
have been friends ever since. In
1908 Mr.. Stewart became interested
in helping Rickenbacker enter the
Indianapolis race meet. He wrote
to the factory of a certain auto
mobile and received a favorable re-
ply, with the proviso that he
(Stewart) should put up $4,000 for
tires, repairs and other incidentals
during Rickenbacker's practice and
to get on the track.
Stewart showed the letter to
Rickenbacker. and then they both
shook their Heads, Eddie remarking
that he did not know there was that
much money in the world. Rick

on mile track located on the site
which has been acquired by the

track is still there and it will be

Colonel FINLEY and Captain Lainson
marshaled their men and the march
to the armory was begun through a
living lane a mile long. A band and
drum coyps headed the column and
police cleared the way.
Relatives and friends were admit
ted to the ArMory by ticket at the
start, but soon the police at the
doors were swept aside and the
crowd poured through.
One scene stood out most wildly.
Colonel FINLEY, with Captain Lain
son on his right and Lieutenant Bon
ham on the left, was surrounded BY
ESQ school children, pressing for
ward and crying, 81 want to shake
hands with DR.. NATL" And every
one of them did.
The ceremonies in the Armory
were brief. Roll was again called,
with the men standing in exactly
the same position as when it was
called at S o'clock in the morning
nesrly two years ago. But it was a
pitifully short line. Less than 40
responded to their names. The mea-
ger figure shows the proportionate
losses. The l6Sth has more than
700 gold stars on its service flag.
When the roll call was ended and
Colonel Tinley's parting words ut
tered the men scattered and were
swallowed up in the crowd. They
were home at last.
Final arrangements for the big
parade next Tuesday afternoon were
announced yesterday. Very little
change has been made in the pub
lished program, but owing to the
fact that considerable misunder-
standing has arisen concerning the
location of the various units those in
charge issued these definite direc-
t! tons SO that each section may read

A feature of the afternoon parade
will be an aeroplane driven along
the street under its own power, an
accomplishment never before wit
messed in an Omaha parade. Bands
will enliyen the line of march.
Captain Rickenbacker will be en-
tertained at noon by the local COM
mittee and the Automobile Trade
association at luncheon at the Ho-
tel Fontenelle. He will be the
guest of honor at a dinner to be
given by the board of governors of

camp as a unit, went overseas as
such, served for more than a year
and returned to the state with the
same military title as when it left,
and intact.
Governor McKelyie commended
the work of the Red Cross nurses
and then entered into detailed ac-
count of what Nebraska did at home
to aid in winning the war, giving
figures relative to the Liberty
bonds, thrift stamps bought and
subscriptions made to war activities.
He urged Americanization, saying
that he hoped in the future there
would not be an encouragement of
little Germar1ys, little Swedens and
little Russias within Nebraska, as
there had been in the past. He con-
tended for the American language
in the schools and the eliminatios
everywhere of everything not con-
sistent with good American citizen
ship.

duced as the major general OF Base
Hospital No. ~. While not claim
ing the title, he said that he did ev-
erything In his power toward doing
his bit, while in France, though not
on the firing line. :,
Dealing with figures, the dean
said that of the $4,000 to 10000 boys
treated in the hospital, only about
400 failed to recover. From Ne
braska the hospital received $4,000
garments, adding greatly to the
comfort and welfare of the patients.
Col. A. c. Stokes attributed
the success of the Nebraska base
hospital largely due to the work Of
Dean Cutter Of the medical school
of the University of Nebraska, Col
onel Conner of the surgeon generals
office and Gould Dietz, the Ne
braska Red Cross and its manager,
Frank Judson of Omaha, all OF
whom labored early and late in its
behalf. To support the unit, he said,
Nebraska gave $4,000 and would
have subscribed as much more had
i. been asked for.
