Scene Of Accident, But'
Escapes With Iden-
tity Unknown.

Selma Swanson, q years old,

Turner boulevard and Dodge street.
c. J. Boyles, 324 South Twenty
sixth street, with whom Miss Swan
son was riding. was slightly in
jured.
Boyles was driving south on the
boulevard across Dodge street when
the roadster, travelling west on
Dodge street at speed estimated by
witnesses at IS miles an hour, swept
the motorcycle from the road and
tossed it onto the sidewalk so feet
distant.
Miss Swanson was hurled against
the curbing on the opposite side of
the street. Her head was crushed.
Passing autoists took her to Nicho-
las Sem hospital, but she died on
the way.
The driver of the roadster stopped
his car half block farther west, and
came back to the scene of the acci-
dent. As far as the police have
been able to learn, no one secured
the name of the driver or his license
number.
Boyles and Miss Swanson were

Swanson's younger sister, Marie,
was following them on another
motorcycle, with Charlie Head, 2509

dent.

her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Swan
Swanson of Centuria, Wis, of the
accident.

H .C.L.H0L DS UP PAY INCREASE
GIRL DISGUISED
AS BOY TRAMP
ARRESTED HERE
Lass Who Set Out to Visit
Grandfather Caught in
Railway Yards.

Disguised as boy tramp, Lovetta
Goodrich, Is years old, 1914 Locust
street, fell into the hands of the
police at II o'clock last night in
the railroad yardS at Fourteenth
and Webster streets after officers
had searched for her three days.
A dirty straw hat covered her
pretty blonde head and half her
face. A supremely dirty shirt
tucked into her overal1s in places
was open at the collar, disclosing
the soft dainty neck that betrayed
her to Special Officer Dunn when
she was arrested.
Her overalls sagged disgracefully
at her ankles. Her shoes fitted her
unlike the rest of her raiment, for
they were the only part of her dis
guise she had not found in an empty
box car when she left home last
Friday.
Il am going to visit my grand
father in O'Conner, Neb., or
Oconto, l don't know which. |
promised him way last winter I'd
come up to his farm this summer
And l do so want to keep my prom
Use.
Explains Her Appearance.
I'll have to go back to school
pretty soon,' she whimpered, and
| want to visit him before school
time" Sergeant Frank Rose thought
he saw a tear glisten behind the
dirty hand that went up to her eyes.
Lovetta explained her appearance
in a few words. Then she retired
to the Matron's room with tess of
her pretty head to crowd Of po-
licemen who stood gaping at her.
She said:
About a week ago l tried to run
away to grandfather, when my
mother said | couldn't go. got
as far as Fort Crook and the police
brought me back. | told them it
wasn't any use but they brought me
anyway.
Last Friday night I ran away
again. Il found these clothes in a
box car in East Omaha and put
them on. | wrapped up my other
clothes and carried them with me
until the next day. l had such a
pretty dress | wanted to keep it
but my things got in the way so |
spread them under the trestle on
Sixteenth and Locust street for a
bed.
Suspender Causes Trouble.
II wanted to wait around Omaha
for a while before starting SO /
could fool my folks and when they
would give up watching the trains
for me I'd start out to walk.
Il stayed under the trestle every
night. Tonight | started out to
walk. | just got downtown when
that policeman caught me"
The story was interrupted for a
minute until Lovetta repaired a
broken suspender.
That thing broke about eight
times today and | had to get a
nail to fix it," she explained.
Lovetta is in the sixth grade at
Lothrop school. Unless her next
break for the long promised visit
is successful she fears that school
time will intercept and postpone the
trip for a whole year.

Endless Bickering in Supreme
Council Having Serious e.
fects-Revive Questions U.
S. Not Directly Interested In.
AT DISADVANTAGE IN
PRESENT ARRANGEMENT
Hoover's DenunCiation Of
Councils Hesitancy in
Strengthening Out Hungary
Reflected by Others.

Paris, Aug. 25.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press. 1.-The endless bicker-
ing in the supreme council is hav-
ing serious effect. The revival
of many questions in which the
United States is not directly inter-
ested is making the American dele
CATION impatient. The Americans
are constantly called upon to act as
arbiters in Balkan and other ques-
tions with the result that sections
of the European press, especially
the French press, are assailing the
American position on questions in
which the Americans acted wholly
without self-consideration.
Herbert Hoover's denunciation of
the councils hesitancy in straight
ening out the Hungarian tangle and
protecting the rights of all the en-
tente nations in the matter of Hun
garian reparations is reflected in
the attitude of the entire American
delegation. While some members
of the supreme council appear to
take the same position, the feeling
is growing in American circles that
several representatives of the great
powers are not inclined at the pres
ent time to bring Roumania to
account on the armistice terms.
At Great Disadvantage.
The American delegates feel at
great disadvantage in the present
arrangement, the representatives of
the other powers being near home
are able to confer directly with their
governments, thus making the coun-
Gil in general a clearing house for
European disputes not directly re-
lated to peace.
1t is the belief that after the
signature OF the Austrian treaty the
conference will have a1ong vaca-
ton. thus forcing the various for
eign offices to handle matters here
tofore loaded upon the conference.
The supreme council this after
noon discussed Roumanias attitude
in the Hungarian situation, and
sent Roumania another note, saying
that the council inpa tiently awaited
reply to the note sent Saturday con-
cerning reparations.
Discuss Austrian Response
The council discussed the response
to the Austrians, but did not COM
plete the text of the reply, and will
consider it again tomorrow.
+ Some changes were being made in
the treaty in compliance with the
Austrians' request. Austria will be
! treated simply as an enemy country
despite the fact that the government
is new. 1t will be required to bear
reparations alone, but the pre-war
debt and the war expenses will be
apportioned among the new coun-
tries which have grown out of Aus

There was very little time
