Two Seriously Hurt
When Automobile Is
Struck by Street Cal

John Allen and George Seffron,
Bellevue farmers, were seriously
injured yesterday morning when the
automobile in which they were rid
ing was struck by a south bound
Fort Crook street car on Twenty
fourth street in Bellevue.
The machine, which was driven
by Mr.. Allen, was crossing the car
track when the street car, travelling
at high rate of speed struck it,
knocking the two men over so feet
and completely demolishing the
automobile.
Benjamin Cissna, motorman, de-
clared that he had sounded the
whistle as he approached the cross
ing. High weeds near the car track
obstructed the view, he said.
Mr.. Allen was taken to the Lord
Lister hospital in an unconscious
condition. One leg was broken and
attendants at the hospital declared
he had suffered internal injuries
which might prove fatal.
Mr.. Seffron sustained a broken
nose, four fractured ribs, and his
right arm was nearly severed from
his body.

DEFENSE COUNCIL
MAKESREPORTON
HIGHLVING COST
Nations Productive Powers
Have Not Been Fully Utilized
Since Armistice, Finding Says.

Washington, Oct. 6.---After an
investigation Of the nigh cost of
living problem, the council of ma
tional defense finds:
That the nations productive pow
ers have not been fully utilized
since the armistice.
That too few goods, notably the
necessities of life, have been pro-
duced, and that even some of these
goods have been withheld from the
market, and therefore from the
people.
That the high cost of living is due
in part to the unavoidable war
waste, and increase of money and
credit.
That there has been and is con-
siderable prohteering, intentional
and unintentional.
The council believes that the rem
edies for the situation are:
To produce more goods, and to
produce them in proportion to the
needs of the people.
To stamp out prohteering and
stop unnecessary boarding.
To enforce vigorously present
laws and promptly to enact such
further laws as are necessary to
prevent and punish prohteering and
nee Hess boarding.
To bring about better co-opera-
ton and method in distributing and
marketing goods. -..
To keep both producer and con-
sumner fully informed as to what
goods are needed and as to what

Want ACTION,
NOT ORATOR Y.
At CONFERENCE
Representatives of the Public
Request That Industrial Con-
ference Keep Busy Day
and Night.

Washington, Oct. 6.-Representa-
tatives of the public evinced spir-
tied desire for action, rather than
oratory, at the opening session to-
day of the industrial conference
called by President Wilson.
Apparently, with the determine
ton of differentiating this confer
ence from many similar gatherings
held in Washington. the public dele
gates demanded that sessions be held
night and day If necessary to estab
lish a basis for harmonious relations
between capital and labor during the
present abnormal economic condi-
tons. Bernard M. Baruch of New
York, one of these delegates, was
active in directing the affairs of the
conference, which was considered
significant in view of his close
friendship with President Wilson
and his frequent visits to the White
House.
After the appointment of commit
tees on nominations and rules the
conference adjourned to meet to-
morrow morning. Gavin McNab Of
San Francisco, representative of
the public, was mentioned promi
nently for permanent chairman OF
the conference, but members of
both committees declined to indicate
what their recommendations would
be.

Warm Argument Over
Value Of Gas Lamps
In the City Council

A resolution offered to the city
council yesterday by City Commits
sioner Zimman, ordering discon-
tinuance of three gas lamps, pre-
cipitated an argument between Mr..
Zimman and Commissioner Butler
on the subject of gas lamps in gen.
eral.
"The present system of gas lamps
is ridiculous" said Mr.. Zimman,
I'VE are receiving many reports of
gas lamps being out for weeks at
time. The city is paying $40 per
year for gas and S22 per year for
maintenance. for each lamp"
Mr.. Butler asserted that an cleo
trio light lobby is at work in an
effort to have all gas lamps dis
placed by electric light lamps.
The Zimman resolution went over
without action.

OMAHA BUTCHER
KILLS SELF AND
FIRES AT WIFE.
Unprovoked Jealousy Given as
Reason by Mrs. Herman
0. Wilkinson, Now at
Ashland.

Herman O. Wilkinson, SO years
old, formerly employed as meat
cutter at the Washington market,
took his own life Monday after un-
successfully attempting to kill his
wife at the home of her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. William Gilbert, at Ash
land, Neb.
The tragedy is the elimination of
stormy married career, according
to Mrs. VIII lson, who says her
husband entered her room shortly
after o'clock and Selling her by
the leg with one hand fired three
shots from a revolver held in the
ether. He then went outside of the
house and shot himself in the head,
dying instantly. He took off his
shoes before entering the house.
The couple were married II years
ago in Ashland, where Mr.. Wilkin-
son conducted a meat market. They
were cstranged for two years, but
settled their differences, and moved
to Omaha six months ago, where
Mrs. Wilkinson was employed by the
Brandeis stores. In March Wilkin-
son attempted to kill himself by
taking poison, but was saved by
physicians.
Unprovooked jealousy is the reason
given by the wife for the tragedy.
She says her husband frequently
threatened to kill himself and her.
She went to Ashland to visit her
mother and says she intended to re-
turn to Omaha, but was told by her
husband not to come. She says she
came to Omaha three weeks ago to
get her clothes, but was prevented
by her husband until she got con-
stable. .
Mrs. Wilkinson was not injured
by the shots. A coroner's jury re-
turned verdict of suicide.

Mindanao. She must have it all
direct from him.
Meantime Miss Willard had spok-
en- of the dance at Fort Myer and
my daughter asked Jack if he would
not go with her. | remember as if
it were yesterday how replied to
her-said he was an old army Of
fcer, not much given to dancing.
She repeated her invitation and
again he made an excuse, saying
that he would like to 60, but could
not.
First to Dance.
Dinner over, Jack left. The rest
OF US went to the dance. And can
you guess what happened?"
| did not venture word and the
senator answered the question with
hardly a pause.
Jack did come" he said. Il
happened to look up from group
with whom | was standing and
there, sure enough, was Jack. He
and my daughter were dancing to-
gether."
The senator talked on and the
love story of this young college
girl OF Wyoming, this girl of %, and
of this middle-aged cavalry officer,
this officer of 49,. was narrated.
THE day after the Dance" he
said, Il recall that she sat in the
senate gallery and heard President
Roosevelt's message-the message
in which he referred to Jack--the
first time a president had ever men
toned an army officer by name in
message
Ro6sevelt's Praise.
And perhaps it would not be di-
crossing here to quote this mention
of Pershing. 1t came at a time
when Roosevelt was seeking per-
mission from congress to promote
officers by selection, rather than by
seniority. He could make officers
generals, with the approval of the
senate, but he could not promote a
captain to- colonelency-just what
he desired to do in the case Of
Pershing.
Said Roosevelt in the message to
which the senator referred:
Until this system is changed we
cannot hope that our officers will
be of as high grade as we have
right to expect considering the
upon which we draw. More
over, when a man renders a service
as Captain Pershing rendered in
the Moro campaign, it ought to be
possible to reward him without
jumping him to the grade of briga-
der general"
Which, later, Roosevelt did. But
that is getting ahead of my story.

Mr.. Mahon explained that meet
ing of the executive council of the
federation had been called some
time previously which it was impos-
sible to postpone and Mr.. Chad
bourne withdrew his suggestion.
Later on, however, Mr.. McNab took
the floor with the same thought ex-
pressed by Mr.. Chadbourne.
Work Tremendously.

ference is in the interest of har-
mony," he said, suppose we set the
example of working tremendously
and not making the principle and
first feature of it desire to ad-
journ.'
He declared the conference had
shown the people OF the country
how to work, but did not press the
point, and the motion to adjourn
was carried.
Virtually every delegate was in
his seat when Secretary Wilson
called the meeting to order in the
PAM American building. John Bar
rett, director general of the union,
in welcoming the delegates to the
use of the building, called attention
10 the fact that this conference, en-
deavorine to stabilize industrial
peace, was meeting in structure
devoted TO maintaining the peace of
the western hemisphere. The very
decorations of the hall, he pointed
cut, bore the word "Pax."

Secretary Wilson told the dele
gates they had been given oppor-

that real progress may be made in
settling several great questions" he
