wounded FIVE others, two of them
seriously. ..
The dead are Thomas Holloran,
an employe Of the Philadelphia

STRANGE DWARFS AND
GIANTS IN WEST CHINA.

New York, Jan. H.-(By Univer-
sal Service.)-A race of four-foot
dwarfs and other strange tribes
found in western China we're de-
scribed by DR.. Joseph Beach, presi-
dent of the West Chint university,
in an address today at the Hotel
Chelsea. Dr. Beach encountered a
number Of tribes differing radically
from Chinese during his travels as
a missionary, some of which revived
the ancient legend that hidden in
the central Asian mountains there
has long dwelt a mysterious white
nation Some of the people DR..
Beach saw resembled Hawaiians,
others looked like Tibetans and
still others like Bohemians.
DR. Beech regretted he had not
personally seen representatives OF
/ giant white tribe inhabiting the
district of Sung Pan. They were
described to him, he said, as pos
sessing the indomitable courage of
Americans and of being unusually
Warlike.
lhey frequently nght duels on
horseback, he was told, the battles
having four distinct stages. Start
ing with firing clumsy blunder-
busses at each other, the duelists
suceessively lombard their OPP
oonents with great stones from
bags they carry; hurl spears, fitted
with cords for retrieving purposes,
and finish with huge swords. The
fuels are always fought to a
inish.

GIVE SLACKERS

"ChiIdren Of God" Released
from LeavenWOrth With
Honor; Two Refuse to
Accept Liberty.

Leavenworth, Kan, Jan. 27.-The
release of 1l3 conscientious object
ors, honorably discharged from the
service by War department orders,
was begun at the disciplinary bar
racks at Fort Leavenworth this
morning. Two, however, refused TO
leave, saying it was against their
religious scruples.
The two men, who refused to ac-
cept their liberty, declared that such
would not be for the glory Of
God" Instructions have been asked
from Washington on their cases.
1t was announced later that prob
ably some of the men would not be
released today on account of i'll
ness, but would be given their dis
charge as soon as their health per-
mitted.
The men were discharged in
groups of 10 and were given their
mileage, the same as that given to
discharged combatants, to the point
of their induction into the service.
They also received a suit of civilian
clothes. From the point of induc-
tion the men are free to 60 wher-
ever they desire. 1t was said some
of the men had between $400 and
$500 awaiting them in the form Of
back pay and allotments. Their
homes are in ali parts of the eoun-
try. The first few men to sign their
discharge papers scratched out the
line bearing the caption signature
of soldier" and substituted Child
of God" Officers thereafter insisted

Some of the. men refused the
money from back pay and allot-
ments which was ready in cash.
Few of the men needed the suits
provided upon orders from the War
department. as none of them wore
the uniform Of the United States
after being drafted into the army.
They preferred, today, to wear
home the suits they used while in
the disciplinary barracks here.

CONFERENCE is
AGREED ON war
REVENUE BILL
Questions in Dispute Agreed
Upon After Bitter Con-
test; Will Present
It This Week.

Washington, Jan. IA basis foi
complete agreement on the war rev
enue bill was reached late today by
the senate and house conferees
Senator Simmons, chairman of the
senate managers, announced thai
virtually all important questions re.
naming in dispute, including the
war excess profits rates had been
agreed upon and that all possibility
of deadlock and failure of the bill
had passed.
Announcement of the conference
agreement on the war profits and
other basic disputes was deferred
but it was said that it would be
made Wednesday or Thursday when
a reprint of the bill as finally agreed
to will be completed. -
The conference report is expect.
ed to be presented to the senate and
house late this week and the con.
ferees hope it will be adopted by
both bodies next week and the bill
sent to President Wilson at Paris
for his approval.
Three Big Questions.
The basis for agreement of the
measure was upon three bitterly
contested questions-war excess
profits taxes this year, the senate al.
lowance to oil and gas interests and
the senate amendment to repeal the
existing zone system of second class
mail rates. 1t was learned that in
harmonizing differences on these dis.
putes the conferees agreed to an
increase of the senate war excess
profits rates. adopted the oil provis.
ion substantially as provided by the
senate and eliminated the second
class mail amendment. f#s
The dispute on war excess profits
rates for 1919, it was stated, pro-
vided for retention of the senate
rate of 80 per cent on corporations
net income in excess of credits and
not in excess of 20 per cent of in.
vested capital; for increase from 6C
to 65 per cent income in excess oil
20 per cent and for retention of the
so per cent tax on war profits. The
higher rates were strongly urged by
Representative Kitchin and others
of the house managers.
Yield on Oil Exemption.
The senate conferees were re-
ported to have won their fight for
retention of the senate provision
for tax exemption of 20 per cent
on bona fde sales of oil and gas
wells and mines. This provision. de-
signed to protect and stimulate
prospectors, was opposed by the
house managers as too liberal, but
they finally yielded after the senate
conferees had accepted the higher
rates on war excess profits.
Elimination of the second class
postage amendment had been gen.
orally expected. The proposal has
been bitterly opposed by Repre-.
sentative Kitchin and others of the
house .conferees. It provides for re.
peal of the present zone rates on
second class mail based on the pro-
portion of news and advertising and
for substitution Of a new zone plar
Of ! cent a pound on periodicals
within the first and second class
parcel post zones and lH cents q
pound beyond that radius. The
present rates have been vigorously
attacked by publishers as unjust
and in some cases confscatory.

Women Rebuked by Minister
For Refusal to Hear Nurse;
U. S. Agent for Disease Fight
Rev. Robert LeavenS Says
Woman Chief Offender in
Social 0StraCiSm of Sin
full One of Her Sex.

Rev. Robert Leavens, pastor Of the
Unitarian church, administered a
stern rebuke, Monday afternoon, to
members of the political and social
science department of the Omaha
Woman's club for the departments
refusal, two weeks ago, to permit
Wilma Rice, inmate of the City De-
tention hospital, to speak before its
meeting. Wilma Rice Sunday morn
ing spoke from the Unitarian church
pulpit.
81 am ashamed of you! While man
is the chief offender in the social
evil woman is the chief offender in
the social ostrac;sm which is practic-
ed on the sinful woman. You illus
trated this in refusing to permit her
to address you," he asserted.
After DR.. Leavens had left the
room, Mrs. D. G. Craighead, defend
ed the, position the women had taken
in denying Wilma Rice audience.
Considered the Girl.
at was not because we did not
deem her worthy. She is our sister
and if we can extend her a helping
hand, we will do so. Personally !
voted against hearing her talk be-
cause | considered the girl herself.
I though the publicity would be bad
for her in the futtlSe, when she was
ready to face the world again" Mrs.
Craighead explained.
The social evil will not be cured
by ignoring it." DR.. Leavens em-
phasized in his talk. "All are sub
ject to contamination. The evil
needs to be openly attacked, it is
so deep-seated and widespread"
"The outcome of all this agitation
is bound to be benif;cial. We must
steel ourselves to offensive, obnox-
ious details for the sake of making
some headway in the fight"
DR.. Leavens made a strong de-
fense of the City Detention hos
pital.
Treatment Scientific.
att is a beneficial, well-conducted
instution, deserving the support of
Omaha. The treatment of inmates is
scientific, sympathetic and respect
full" he asserted.
You don't have to take my word,
that of the mayor or of the news
papers. Get your information first
hand and you will find the patients
grateful to the city for affording
them treatment, not sullen and re-
bellious," he said.
