NeW for6' fep.
I have tried to get by.
without working
And walking down Broadway.
The other afternoon.
To hear the actors.
Knock all the managers.
I looked in shop windows.
And saw silk shirts.
And silk pajamas.
And silk neckties.
And on account Of the war.
Or the armistice.
Or the domestic policy.
Or the Peruvians.
They grow more expensive
Every day.
And it gave me an idea.
And I went home.
And talked it over.
With Ferdinand, our janitor,
He is something like me.
He says it is because.
He was kicked in the head.
By a mule when a boy.
And he thought the idea
Showed human intelligence.
And so 1 went out
To buy a silk worm.
So It could make silk.
For shirts and ties.
And pajanas.
And Ferd fixed place.
In the basement.
Where it could sleep.
Right near the furnace.
And he was going.
To let it eat.
Out of the same pan.
With MehitabeL the cat.
And every place went.
Looking for a silk worm.
The clerk would giggle.
And say they were Just out.
But expected some in.
On Tuesday morning.
And up to date.
I can't find single one.

II it was a little old.
And it could work.
Only eight hours a day.
And have Thursday.

Six More Men Arrested
in Roundup Of Riot Suspects

Kenneth J. Coates, aged 10, and
William Robinson. 10, of Chicago
ILL.,, were arrested yesterday in
Havelock, Neb., by City Detective
Ben Danbaum and brought to Oma-
ha to face the grand jury probing
the Omaha riot.
According to the local police, one
of the pair asserted to girl friend
that he was one of the crowd who
placed the rope about the neck of
Mayor E. P. Smith during the riot.
Both denied yesterday that they
had made such a statement and as
serted that they took no part in the
disorder here.
John O'Connor of Chicago, and a
man giving his name as John Mas
singer, of Sampson, Ala, will be
held for investigation. Detectives
arrested these two men at the insti-
cation of the investigating commit
tee at the city hall.
The men will say nothing with
regard to their alleged connection
with the riot, but detectives state
that they were seen to enter the
court house during the disturbance.
George Staley, 1927 South Twen-
ty-fourth street, and William Wolfe,
3l03 w street, were booked at the
South Side Jail for investigation in
connection with the riot.

NEGRO HELD ON
FIRST DECREE
MURDER CHARGE
His Sister Killed Husband
and His Victims Mother
Was Slain in BrawI
Four Years Ago.

A coroner's jury Tuesday held
John Russell, negro, for first degree
murder for the killing of his sweet
heart Leona Peterson, in Council
Bluffs Monday night. He is now
| in the steel cylinder in the county
Jail and will be held there without
bail until his trial in the district
court.
The Peterson girl lived with her
step-father, ]. 0. Wilson, 405 North
Eleventh street, where the shoot
ing took place. Wilson's wife told
the jury that Russell came to the
house Saturday night intoxicated
and threatened to kill his sweet
heart, murder all the family, and
then kill himself with the last car
fridge.
They gave little attention to his
remarks; attributing his mental
attitude to his intoxicated condi-
ton. She denied Russelrs charge
that the girl had been flirting with
Clyde Gilbert, Nogales soldier, here
on furlough.
The revolver from which Russell
tired the tive shots into the girl was
placed in evidence. 1t was 3S-cal-
iber with seven-inch barrel. The
thing was so "rickety" that it nearly
fell to pieces. The cylinder and
trigger dropped off.
Tragedy has stalked in the Rus
sell and Peterson families. The Pc
terson girls mother, Minnie imp
ster, was murdered by another ne
gro during a brawl in Omaha four
years ago. The perpetrator never
was found, but it was believed gen.
orally that a negro known as
"Hayti" committed the deed. She
was a woman of striking physique,
tall and with fiery red hair.
Six years ago Russell's sister shot
and killed her husband during
quarrel at their home, l118 Avenue
c. She became a raving maniac
while in police custody and finally
committed suicide by poison two
years after the homicide.

we are resolved to translate it into
action if necessary.
Parliamentary and diplomatic in
trigues and bargaining do not con-
| Germ us. We are resolved to re-
main part of Italy. Whoever intends
to wrench Fiume from Italy-and |
include every possible combination
of powers-must first come here and
aunihilate the defenders.
Caught in Own Net.
Official Italy is caught in the net
of her diplomatists. II is for the
government to extricate if it can.
AS for US, we are the creatures of
our own audacity and our own faith,
and we are not called Upon to as
sumo the blame-let them look to
that.
Our duty was discharged when we
occupied this Italian city, aban-
doned by the Italian government,
and when we pulled down from the
governors palace, in which am
now sitting, every flag except the
Italian.
Our duty is now simple and clear:
Until the day when the Italian gov
eminent sees fit to come and accept
from our hands the tri-color which
the people of Fiume have re-
baptized with their faith; until the
Italian government sends troops to
take our places here, we shall re-
main, despite every entreaty and
every threat.
Courage as High as Ever.
1t is Is days today since the be-
ginning of the blockade, but the
courage of Fiume is just as high as
ever. We are tired of listening to
proposals Of compromise. We have
had too much of that in the last
ten months at Paris.
To separate Fiume from the port
and railway would be treason. We
are no traitors.
Our action at Fiurne was the first
revolt against the dictators who
bartered peoples and provinces at
Paris in direct contravention of one
OF President Wilson's famous
points. g
The plutocrats dominating the
league of nations had better under
stand that now. Otherwise worse
will follow.

questioned on this phase of the

negro out of the building and l i'm
mediately took the matter up with
Sheriff Clark, Mayor Smith and
Commissioner Ringer The mayor
did not say a word. Ringer looked
to the sheriff. Clark was afraid to
risk it.

my men told me we could take
the negro down the dummy shaft,
load him into fast car and get him
away from the scene. They pro-
posed taking him out Of the Eigh-
teenth street side of the building.
At that time there were but very few
people on the west side Of the build
