aim OF: RECALL
7. P. Reynolds, Candidate to
Succeed Ringer, Explains
Purpose of Proposed Re-
call Election.

T. P. Reynolds addressed an au-
dience of 400 Union Pacific shopmen
yesterday at noon on Jefferson
square. Mr.. Reynolds is a candi-
date on the recall petition to sue
coed City Commissioner Ringer.
He spoke by special invitation
from the men, who asked him to ex-
plain the purpose of the recall petit
tons, and was introduced by Walter
Lickert, chairman of the machinists'
shop committee.
Out of the 400 men who listened
to the address there were 1903 who
had not signed the petition. Every
one of these went forward and
signed.
Mr.. Reynolds mentioned the name
of former Mayor Dahlman several
times during his speech. Each time
it was the signal for enthusiastic ap-
plause.
you have known Jlm' Dahl
man for years." he said. "He has
been time-honored and time-tested.
Mayor Smith has been before the
public only for a few months.
During that time he has gained the
enmity of every single member of
organized labor in the city, and the
hatred of thousands of Omaha
mothers, whose babies have suffered
and are suffering because he has
seen fit to deny them ice on Sum-
day"
Mr.. Reynolds declared that one of
the first acts of Mayor Smith was to
lend his efforts to the passage of an
ordinance making 1t crime to join
a labor union. There was time in
ancient history when the rulers of
the earth proceeded on the basis
that the working men were like
flock of wolves" he said. cali that
was necessary to disorganize them
was to throw them bunch of bones
and they would fight among them
selves.
Mayor Smith seems to think the
same conditions prevail today. He
is certainly not our friend" he
said.
Il shall have more to say about J.
Dean Ringer as the campaign pro-
gresses," Mr.. Reynolds declared.
"Mr. Ringer boosted during his pre-
vious campaign that he would make
the streets of Omaha safe for the
women and children of the COM
munity. Let ME tell you my anbi-
ton shall be not only to make the
streets of our city safe, but to make
the homes of Omaha safe against
the lawless police department Dean
Ringer has succeeded in building

To CreChe.

Louise Goodman, 18-year-old Nc
Clelland, Ia, farm girl, who has
been living at the home of her aunt,
Mrs. Queen Owens, 402 Washington
avenue, Council Bluffs, was found
near the Washington avenue school
at daybreak yesterday in serious
condition.
Her dress was nearly torn from
her body, and she told police she
was the victim of seven unidentified
soldiers, members of the trans-con-
tinental motor train. Police say she
told them that the soldiers engaged
in a general fight when one of the
men whom she said they called
"Slim" Nelson, attempted to defend
her.
Neighbors in the vicinity of the
school reported hearing girls
screams about daylight but did not
investigate. At the Creche Detention
Home for Girls, police say Miss
Goodman told Of accompanying one
of the soldiers for a walk in the
park shortly after midnight.
Relatives of the Goodman girl
came to Council Bluffs yesterday
afternoon to look after her interests.
She is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ralph Goodman, who live on a farm
between Gilliat and McClelland.
Her mother says the girl became so
dissatisfied with life OIL the farm
that she left home three times.
A week ago Sunday night she was
in an automobile wreck near Mis-
souri, Valley, when car in which
several young persons were riding
went into the ditch. The girl is still
in the custody of Mrs. Johnson at
the Creche after being charged with
disorderly conduct on the police

she will be sent to the reform school.
Officers of the motor transport in
vestigated the story told by the girl
and declared that none of the men
in their command was concerned in
the assault.

Jap ENJOYS Want
Wilson to Explain
Shantung Clause
Staff Correspondent of Universal Service.
Special Cable Dispatch.

Staff Correspondent Of Universal Service.
Special Cable Dispatch.
Paris, July 29.-Japan passes
the buck" to Woodrow Wilson.
Baron Maxine, the astute pilot of
the mikado's peace ship here broke
his customary silence today just
long enough to say that he would
make no statement whatever on the
Shantung question and to add the
usual expression of Japan's desire
for the maintenance and strength
ening of the friendship between
Japan and America. The baron ex-
poets to leave shortly for Toxic.
One unofficial report Monday had
it that while the Japanese peace
delegation will say nothing, the
government at Toxic might.
Makino's refusal came in response
to urgent requests from American
newspaper men for a frank and
clear-cut expression of view. They
told him of reports from Washing
ton that President Wilson was
strongly DESTROYS of having Japan
put before the world an unmistak-
able statement that would go far
toward clearing up the Shantung
puzzle, especially if it contained
clearcut assurance to China.
At the headquarters of the Japan
csc delegation it was said later that
Japan's p1enipotentiaries could see
no reason why President Wilson
cannot make public all the facts
which the United States senate is
clamoring for.
Moreover, Japan, the correspond
ents were told, resents the suspi-
cion aroused in America as to her
motives and intentions. 1t was en-
phasized that the mikado's govern
ment was only too anxious to nego-
tiate with regard to the restoration
of the Shantung rights. But such
negotiations, it was added with
equal emphasis, concern China
alone, and China so far has shown
no Willingness to open up confer
ences.
The impression was conveyed that
all that was necessary to clear up
the whole muddled subject was for
China to come to Japan and in good
faith ask to negotiate, whereupon
the world would soon see beyond a
shadow of doubt that Japan's course
has been, and will be, scrupulously
LOYAL and conscientious.

Harrisburg, Pa, July 29.-A con-
ference, of progressive republicans,
headed by Clifford Pinchot and at
tended by 70 men and women, was
held here Tuesday. A statement
adopted says it was emphatically
not the purpose to cause a split in

mate a real progressive republican
for president next year.
Progressive republicans Of other
states are invited to join the move
nent. IF Americas part in the war
and the long fight of the progress
slves are not to have been in vain,
then the republican party must name

is big enough and strong enough to
lead the nation forward" the state-
ment says. 1t urges that delegates
be sent to the next national conven-
ton who are the free choice of the

Ordered to Fort

Col. w. H. Jordan, commanding
officer at Fort Crook, will be re-
lieved of his command August /
and four of the eight companies
stationed at the fort will be trans
ferred to Fort Smelling, Mimi, &C
cording to an unofficial announce
ment at the fort yesterday.
Orders for the change were re-
ceived several weeks ago from the
central department at Chicago
Colonel Jordan will attend the staff
officers school at Fort Leavenworth
to prepare for service of higher
character.
The detachment scheduled for
duty at the Minnesota post consists
of the headquarters company, supply
company, machine gun company and
Company G, infantry. All COM
panies are a part of the Twentieth
infantry and their transfer will cut
the forts personnel by one-half.
This will cut our force in half"
Capt. Stephen Peretzky, post ad-
jutant, said. 1T was reported from
Chicago that the Forty-ninth infan-
try at Fort Leavenworth had been
ordered to Fort Smelling. We are
in hopes that this transfer will alter
our plans"
All of the companies are a part of
the detachment ordered here from
Fort Riley, Kan. a month ago. The
transfer will leave the Omaha fort
with less than 100 men. Two COM
panies, M and L, now at Rock
Island, ILL.,, and Chicago, are due to

OPEN BIDS FOR
ERECTION OF new
POLICE STATION
But "Joker" In the PROPOSE
ton Is That There Is No
Money to Build
Jail.

Bids on the proposed new police
station for Omaha were opened by
the city council yesterday. They
showed a wide range, the lowest be-
ing $l34,7O0 by Allen J. Olson and
the highest $4,000 by Busk &
Wind.
The "joker" in the whole propo-
sition is that the city council has
provided no money with which to
build the jail, Police Commissioner
Ringer has an idea that 100000
worth OF bonds can be issued with
out vote of the people. But those
more experienced in city affairs say
this is an impossibility. So the city
Jail will be only paper city jail
for a good while, it is said.
The city council bought lot, the
northwest corner of Fifteenth and
Davenport streets on which to build
the new jail, but the plan was
changed and the lot at Fifteenth
and Davenport streets is now drug
on the city's hands, for the new
Jail is to be built where the present
Jail is located.
Something over $4,000 is in the
fund for building the Jail. No more
money can be secured unless by a
special election to vote bonds for
this purpose Such an election
would cost $4,000.
Bids were received, however, from
seven firms as follows:
Allen J. Olson, $l34,700.
Krene & Busch, $l37,655.
Robert Butke, $l38,000.
Thomas Herd & Son, $l42,500
w. P. Deverell. $l43,8l3.
F. P. Gould & Son. $l48,700.
Busk & Wind, $lS6000
After all these bids had been
opened. Home Builders handed in a
bid. The council voted not to re-
ceive it because it was received after
the specified time.

CHURCH TRIES
TO SETTLE OLD
FAMILY DISPUTE.
Trouble Over Marriage Heard
Before Council of
Baptists.

Red Oak, Ia, July 2o.-(Special
Telegram. 1.-The Southwestern Iowa
Baptist association, sitting in council
here Tuesday in an effort to settle
the family quarrel between Mr.. and
Mrs. Judd Bass and their daughter,
Mrs. Thomas Sedan, and her hus-
band, which has practically disrupted
the Baptist church here, voted at
their session to uphold the action of
the church of last March, when the
members voted to withhold the hand
of fellowship from Mr.. and Mrs.
Judd Bass and Mr.. and Mrs. George
Bass. The council convened at 2
o'clock Tuesday afternoon and
elected the Rev. Mr.. Morphey pastor
of the Second Baptist church of
Council Bluffs as moderator. The
church was crowded with relatives
and friends of both the Bass and the
Sedan families, who were anxious
to hear the airing Of the family trou-
bles which have been the bone of
contention among the entire church
membership for several years, but
almost the first action of the council
was to exclude all persons from the
hearing who were not members of
the church. Half of the congrega-
ton filed out following the passage
of this motion.
The friction in the Bass family
started, it seems, IA wears ago when
Thomas Sedan, then a young man
with very little of this worlds goods,
asked Judd Bass for the hand of his
daughter Lulu in marriage. This
was refused, but the marriage fol-
lowed soon after, regardless Of the
fathers objection. Since then Sedan
has prospered and is now we'll to
do farmer. In an effort to still the
family quarrel and save the church
here from going to pieces complete
ly, Mr.. and Mrs. Sedan withdrew
their membership last spring and
joined the church at Emerson. Judd
Bass attempted to call a meeting OF
the Southwestern Iowa Baptist as
ISOLATION here two weeks ago, but
was unsuccessful when the pastor of
the local church. the Rev. w. G.
Jones, notified all the members that
there would be no council held. that
Bass was not a member of the
church and had no authority to call
the meeting.
Judd Bass, Mr.. and Mrs. George
Bass and Mr.. and Mrs. Sedan were
all present at the council But Mrs.
Judd Bass did not attend.

Society Gossips
Chatter About
Princes Coming

Washington, July 29.-(By Uni
versal Service 1.-The heart Of
Washington society is beginning
to palpitate visibly over the pros
pect of the visit of the prince Of
Wales.
The prince is not coming till some
time in October. but it is under
stood that Breckenridge Long, the
assistant secretary of state, to whose
office falls the duty of carrying out
and in some measure suggesting, the
entertainment, will begin to formu-
late a program as soon as he re-
turns from Bar Harbor.
State department officials say that
his royal highness will be no strang-
err to most of the American digni-
taries. from the president down
who have been in London within the
last year or two, and that the prince
will be really at home when he
strikes the official atmosphere OF
the administration. The prince is
already on good terms with the
president and his family, Admiral
Henry B. Wilson, who has charge
of the Atlantic fleet; Colonel House
General Bliss, Admiral Benson and
many State department officials. 1t
is not known yet, however, how
long he is to stay, and even where
he will stay.
The latter question seems, how
ever, to have been settled by popu-
lar opinion and by the only prece-
dent SO far as the visit of an heir
apparent is concerned. Opinion is
that the prince will, of course, stay
at the White House." because Ed
ward VII. prince of Wales, stayed
there when Mr.. Buchanan was pres
ident.
In those days there was very
winsome hostess for the prince, Miss
Harriet Lane, about whose tact
beauty and imperial democratic"
charms volumes of prose and poetry
have been written, and the presi-
dents neice was mistress of the
White House. In the event that the
prince is a guest of the White
House, society is expecting many
CAV and colorful receptions. IT,
however, he is not the guest of the
White House he will be given the
freedom of the city and one OF the
many in Washington. He will have
representatives of the alll.y and
navy added to his staff, but Mr..
Long will be the master of cere-
monies, with due regard to the
wishes of the guest.
The navy has not been informed
of the date when the prince is to
leave England for Canada. When
that has been fixed and it is known
what ships will constitute his squad
ron, it is understood that an Aneri-
can squadron will go out to meet
him. His squadron doubtless will
then cruise off Bar Harbor until it
is time for the return. 1t has been
unofic,ally announced that, after
the sojourn of his royal highness in
Wa shington, he will proceed to New
York, which he will visit about three
days. His residence, however. will
be quarters on board H. M. S.
Renown, which will take up her sta
ton in the harbor.
