CHILD BELIEVED
SLAIN IN CHICAGO
FOUND IN OMAHA
Police Searching for Greek
Charged With Taking
Young Girl From
Her Home.

The supposed murder of 9-year-
old Rosie Angares that has mysti-
fled Chicago police for more than
two weeks was cleared up shortly
after midnight last night when De
tectives Joe Baughman and Harry
Askwith found the little girl alone
in room in a rooming house at 604
South Fourteenth street.
Andrew Chopikas, Greek, who
took the girl from her home in Chi
cago to Omaha, according to the
police, is being sought here.
Two weeks ago Chicago police de-
cided that Rosie Angares had been
murdered. Chopikas, accused of the
murder, was said to be on his way
to Omaha. The tip led last night
to the finding of the girl.
Rosie says she has never been
mistreated by the man who took her
from her home. She does not know
why she was induced to come here
with him, she says.
When Chopikas is apprehended he
will be charged with either kidnap-
ing or bringing the girl here for i'm
moNl purposes, the police say.

MAYOR OPENS UP :
STORE SO HE CAN

City Executive Weighs Prunes
= at New Municipal Gro
cery Store.

After the city council meeting yes
terday morning Mayor Smith went
to the Auditorium, where he took
personal charge of the municipal
store, which he announced would
not be opened until next Monday
morning. He opened the store, how
ever, long enough to pose for his
photograph as the apostle of the
people in their fight against the high
cost of living.
While the mayor was weighing
prunes in the Auditorium local prof
iteers were laughing up their sleeves
and continuing to charge high prices.
A few women appeared at the
Fifteenth street entrance of the Au-
ditorium. A photographer, who was
in readiness, snapped the mayor
serving the women, and then the
store was closed for the day. Il
Advised Against Opening.
Some of the clerks in the store,
themselves city hall employees, and
few having had grocery store ex-
perience, questioned the advisabiity
of opening the store until the goods
had been arranged so. that a crowd
might be served without confusion.
The premature opening, when the
mayor was photographed, caused
afternoon papers to publish stories
that the Auditorium was open for
business. The result is that a crowd
is expected today, although the
mayor and his staff do not have the
packages ready for any general dis
tribution.
Yesterday afternoon the mayor
was busy in the Auditorium, sacking
evaporated peaches and prunes. He
weighed the amounts in sacks him

First Definite Move Toward
Long Expected Change in
Policy in Dealing With Mex
leo Disclosed at Washington.
NOTE TO CARRANZA
TELLS HIM, BEWARE
Communication to Border
Republic Couched in Strong
est Language Yet Used by
American Government.

Washington, Aug. 14.-(By the
Associated Press. 1.-The first definite
move toward the long expected
Change in policy in dealing with
Mexico was disclosed today.
Carranza has been warned that "if
the murders and outrages of Amer
leans continue the United States
may he forced to adopt a radical
change in its policy with regard to
Mexico"
With the announcement at the
State department, however, came no
authoritative indication of how far
the American government is prepar-
ing to go to enforce what lacks only
the diplomatic technicalities of an
ultimat, m.
The government announced its
action by publishing an exchange Of
notes with Mexico City, and pr -
faced its official statement with the
explanation that the diplomatic rep
resentations referred to had been
taken "in view of the long series of
murders and outrages of American
citizens in Mexico, eliminating in
the murder of Peter Catron in San
Luis Potosi last month and the per-
petratlcn OF other acts in disro gard
of American lives and property
Strong Language Used.
The communication to Mexico is
couched in probably the strongest
language used in any from this gov
ernment since the exchanges pre-
ceding the Vera Cruz occupation.
All official Washington began at
once locking behind the official text
seeking some reason for an impend-
ing change of policy, for which there
has been demand in and out of con-
gress. Pressure from foreign gov
ernments and pressure in congress,
which is preparing an investigation
of the whole Mexican situat ton, were
among those most commonly dis
cussed.
Text Of American Note.
The text of the American note
and the reply from the Mexican gov
ernment, which was dated July %,
were given out today BY the State
department without explanation of
the, e,~delay in making them public.
The departments statement follows:
"In view of the long series of
murders and outrages of American
citizens in Mexico, eliminating in
the murder of Peter Catron in San
Luis Potosi last month, and the per-
petration of other acts in disregafd
of American lives and property, the
American embassy at Mexico City,
on July q, by direction of the Sec
retary of state, made the following
representations to the Mexican gov
ernment:

Brought Action Against Chi
cago Tribune for Calling Him
Anarchist-TriaI in Progress
More Than Three Months.
PLAINTIFF SATISFIED
HE HAS WON CASE
Newspapers Counsel Claims
Victory for Defendant in
That Substantial Damages
Were Not Granted.

Mount Clemens, Aug. IA jur,
tonight awarded Henry Ford 8
cents damages against the Chicago
Tribune for calling him an anarchist
The trial had progressed more than
three months.
Orvy Hulett, foreman of the
jury, said that they took nine bal
lots that I can remember" The
first one, according to Leonard
Measel. another juror, stood 8 to
4 in favor of awarding Mr.. Ford
some damages.
Attorney Alfred J. Murphy, for
Mr.. Ford, said:
Favorable to Plaintiff.
"The important issue in this case
has been determined favorably to
the plaintiff. He has been vindi-
Gated. .
Money damages were entirely
subordinate and were not sought
by Mr.. Ford. He stands not only.
vindicated, but his attitude as an
American citizen has been justified
after trial which raised every is
sue against him which ingenuity
and research could present. His
friends are entirely satisfied"
Weymouth Kirkland, of counsel
for the Tribune, said:
"We call it victory for the rca-
son that Attorney Alfred Lucking,
in tlosing for Mr.. Ford, stated tha,
anything less than substantial dam
ages would be a defeat for His
client"
Expected Night of Waiting.
The end of the great suit, which
was begun three months ago, came
when the lawyers and spectators had
about made up their minds that they
were in for night of waiting and
watching, with a mistrial as the
probable outcome.
The jury had been out 10 hours
when a resounding double knock
was heard on the high old-fashioned
door of the jury room.
Some of the lawyers had not vet
returned from dinner nor had Judge
Tucker put in an appearance. Bailiff
Kelley went to the door and then
hurried to Walter Steffens, the court
clerk, and whispered: They're
ready to report"
Mr.. Steffens got Judge Tucker and
the absent lawyers on the telephone
and iQ 10 minutes all was ready.
Mr.. Hullett was plainly laboring
under suppressed emotion as he rose
and faced The court Pr 3-.@
Have you reached verdict, gem
tlemen" asked Judge Tucker.
We have" replied the foreman.
l. You may deliver it." x9.
Mr.. Hullett first gave the directed
verdict of no case against the Solo
mon News company which distrib-
uted copies of the Tribune of June
l23, 1916, containing the libel. The
award against the Tribune was then
given and the clerk recorded the
following as the verdict:
You do say upon your oath that
the said defendants, The Tribune
company is guilty in manner and
form as the said plaintiff hath in his
declaration in this case complained
and you assess the damages Of the
said plaintiff on occasion of the
premises over and above costs and
charges by him about his suit in this
behalf expended, at the sum Of s
