blue EYES" TO
PAY $500 FINE
and GO TO JAIL
Man Held on Bigamy Charge
Enters Plea Of Guilty
After Compromise
in Court.

Harvey Floyd Harris. famous
Blue Eyes" compromised with
fortune and the law yesterday after.
noon in Council Bluffs court and
pleaded guilty to the grand jury in
dictment charging him with bigamy.
He agreed to pay fine Of $500 and
spend 80 more days in the county
Jail.
The compromise was brought
about by the exigency of circum-
stances. County Attorney Swanson
found himself in the predicament of
being forced into trial without any
of the prosecuting witnesses. Mrs.
Clara Harris, the Des Moines wife,
who caused the arrest, was on hand
to prosecute her husband and at the
appointed time, but Blue Eyes"
was somewhere in Nebraska and
could not be found until his bonds
men discovered him and turned him
in.
The Des MONIES Mrs. Harris went
to Colorado and sent back word that
she had made three visits to Coun-
Gil Bluffs and would make no more.
County Attorney Swanson was still
ready to 60 ahead with the case and
rely upon the testimony of Rev. DR..
Ray, Presbyterian clergyman, who
married Harris and Mrs. Babe"
Young Benjamin on January 20, but
the clergyman~is in the Edmundson
hospital
County Attorney Swanson says
one cause of the Des Moines wife's
newly acquired indifference to Blue
Eyes" is AN absolute divorce decree
she secured against him. 1t is said
she has disposed of the Des Moines
bungalow and does not expect to
return to Iowa.

Chicago, Sept. 24-Julius H
Barnes, federal wheat director, in

ANY RESERVATION
MEANSREJECTION,
WILSON ASSERTS
President Refers Again to Pro.
posed Article 10 Amendments
in Address at Cheyenne.

Cheyenne, Sept. 24.--Reading
again the proposed senate reserva-
ton to article 10 of the league cove
nant, President Wilson declared in
an address here today that should
any such reservation be adopted he
would BE obliged, as chief execu-
tive, to regard it as a rejection OF
the treaty"
The president added that rejec-
ton of the treaty would mean me-
gotiation of a separate peace with
Germany, and asserted that such a
negotiation could not change a
single item of the peace settlement.
The reservation lead by the pres
ident was the same that he laid be-
fore his audience last night at the
Salt Lake City tabernacle. By its
provisions the United States would
! assume no obligation to preserve
the territorial integrity of other ma
tons unless congress should so de-
eide.
1T is as though you said we will
not join the league now" said ne,
but may join it from TING to time.
We won't promise anything, but
from time to time we may cooper
ate.
"The thing is unworthy and ridic-
ulous. 1t means the rejection of the
treaty, nothing less. The issue is
final. We can't avoid it. We've got
to make the decision now, and once
made, there can be no turning back"
Unless the United States went into
the league now, he added, and as
sumed its full responsibility, it
would have to come in later with
Germany.
Arrives in Denver.
Denver, Colo, Sept. 24.-Presi-
dent Wilson and his party arrived
here tonight from Cheyenne, Wyo.,
at LIS o'clock.
The train was IS minutes ahead
of time. Despite this hundreds of
PERSONS gathered atthe Union sta
ton to greet Mr.. Wilson.
The president was driven to his
hotel, where he expected to retire
early.
Mr.. Wilson's motor car swept
through Seventeenth street the
president stood, bowling and waving
his hat to the cheering crowds. The
street had been profusely decorated
with flags of the allied nations and
thousands of incandescent lamps,
radiant in red, white and blue, had
been hung overhead to light the
thoroughfares.

AMERICAN-OWNED
SHIPS SEIZED AS
GERMAN SHIPPING
IL Valued at $4,000. 900 Or.
dered to Firth of Forth for
ALLEGATION Among Allies.

New York, Sept. A.-Twelve
American-owned steamships, aggre7
eating 10000 tons lightweight and
valued at more than $l0,000,0OO, the
property of German subsidiary of
the Standard Oil company of New
Jersey, have been ordered from
German ports to the Firth of Forth
of ALLEGATION among the allied and
associated nations recently at war
against Germany. This information
has been received by officials OF the
Standard Oil company here from its
Representatives abroad.
This order of ALLEGATION, it was as
serted, was made by the president
of the allied naval armistice commits
sion, who, it is alleged, arbitrarily
overlooked" the action of the allied
commission at Brussels last March
in its recognition that the ships
were American property and not
subject to seizure as German ship
ping. The action has been protest
ed by the Standard Oil company
through the American State depart
nent and the United States shipping
board.
The vessels were part of the as
sets of the Deutsche Amerikanische
Petroleum Gesellsohaft, a subsidi-
airy company of the Standard Oil,
and prior to the war they flew the
German flag. With the outbreak of
the war in 1914 they were held in
German ports to prevent possible
seizure by Great Britain and her al
lies.
1t is understood that if they are
allocated the division will be APP
proximately as follows, in, tons:
France, $4,000; Italy. 10000; Bel
GUM, 10000; Great Britain, $4,000,
and the United States 1000.
Cable advices from Paris yester-
day said that Frank L. Polk, head
of the American delegation to the
peace conference, was endeavoring
through the supreme council to have
l8 tank ships assigned to Germany
for use in shipping oil from the
United States for German industries.
1t was stated also that the repre-
sentatives of the five powers had
agreed to let Germany have these
ships, but that the supreme economic
council at Brussels last week, Or
dered Germany to turn the vessels
over to the allies. -

Basket Ball

Last Saturday evening at 80
all the younger boys of the com
munity began arriving al the Y.
NJ. c. A. hall. The grammar grade
boys We're to play the second team
high school, the first real game
any of them had taken part in,
hence the excitement was great.
1t was a clean, fast game and re-
suited in victory for the grammar
grade boys.
Deciding that the Moran boys
were not going TO arrive. the first
team gathered together a pickup
team of town fellows for game.
1t was a jolly good game in which
the high school boys easily won.
The opposing team being men, the
boys were pretty well tired out at
the end of it, and just then at 9 AS
the Moran crowd walked IN some
forty strong. Engine troubles and
the wrong road from the dock
caused the delay.
After a ten-minutes rest the
game began.
The Moran game proved the
fastest and hardest fought game
of the year. Although the vashon
boys were all in" they fought
like tigers all the time. AT the
end of the first half the Moran
boys had scored 20 against the Va
shon boys u. The yashon boys
led in the second half with score
of 16 TO IA, but the two games
proved too much for them, and the
final score was % to 81 in Moran s
favor.
One feature of the game was the
scarcity of fouls. Both teams play
ed a good, clean, snappy game.
and Mr.. Yates of Moran school
proved to be an excellent referee.
The Vashon boys showed the
better team work, but the Moran
boys exeelled in shooting baskets.
The local team has a rejuvenat
ed liDe-up now which ought to
hold its own with any of them.
With Everett Blekkink in the
squad the team is strengthened a
great deal, and we now have an
extra player to make Il shift in the
lineup.

lsi-yes. Saturday OF this week
is the date when you by your
vote will settle the question Of
yonr high school
If you do not Wish 10 support a
high school at Vashon. and think
some other arrangement for the
education of the young people
would be better, then come out
and vote against the proposed
Union High School with Column
his and vote against the proposed
l6.mill levy for the coming year.
On the other hand, if you be
lieve that the north end of the
Island will be settled mp so as to
support a good high school after
a little time. come out and vote
accordingly.
II you wish to keep your high
school and to see IT grow into a
stronger. better high school, a
completely accredited nigh school
with all the necessary depart.
mcnts. then come out and vote for
the Union High School with Col
umbia. also vote for the l6-mill
levy. which is absolutely necessary
10 the existence of your high
school the coming year and for
the payment of back warrants
which must be met.
Mr.. Burrows assures MS that a
l6-lnill levy this year will finish
paying for those back warrants
contracted with the original in
vestment AS warrants instead OF
bonds, MS $4,000 is being paid on

should be overwhelmingly for or
against the proposition. If you
have any interest in the schools it
is your duty and your pleasure
