PARSON INVITES
IRATE MAN OUTSIDE.

New York, Oct. l.-(By Universal
Service. 1.-The chief development IN
connection with the tangled marital
affairs OF former Vice Chancellor J.
Merritt Lane of New Jersey was the
announcement by Rev. Clarence Hill
Frank that he stands ready to bring
the affair before the grand jury IN
Stamford. The clergyman who off,
ciated at the marriage OF Josh
Lane to Mrs. Grace Hercht in Stam-
ford, April 4. made this statement
after a stormy interview with the
former vice chancellor in the chan
cery chambers in Newark in which
Lane denounced the clergyman as
"an Internal liar" and the latter in
vited Lane to come outside"
DR.. Frank declared he had con-
vinced himself beyond doubt that
Lane was the man he married to Mrs.
Hereht in Stamford. He said he in
tends to consult attorneys in Con-
.necticut with a view of remedying
the defects in the state marriage
code. He also intends to bring Lane
to court if possible on the charge OF
oigamy or on that Of subordnation
,f perjury in taking out the mar
.iage license which was sworn to by
Mrs. Hercht- Lane.
In Hartford suffrage leaders who
have been urging Gov. Holcomb to
call a special session of the legisla-
ture to consider the suffrage meas
ure are using the Lane case as an
. argument in favor OF a session.

OPEN SHOP SOLE
ISSUE AT STAKE
GARY DECLARES
Chairman of u. S. Steel Cor
poration Tells Senate Com
mittee He Won't Yield.

Washington, Oct. 1.-Declaring
that the question of the open shop
the right of a man to work IL
respective of whether he was a
member of labor union--was the
sole issue in the nationwide steel
strike, Judge Ebert H. Gary, chair
man of the board of the United
States Steel corporation, told the
senate investigating committee that
his corporation would never yield.
Even now, he said, the strike is
failing.
There was no reason for this
strike" said Judge Gary. "The men
did not want it. 1t was forced on
them from the outside by the Or
ganizers of labor unions. The open
shop is the question here-the right
to bring about fullest production
with only the interests of the em-
ploye, the employer and the pub
lie in sight"
Labor leaders, he told the COM
mittee, were seeking to unionize all
industry in the country. Should
their efforts be successful, he as
serted, industrial decay would fol-
low.
1T means the condition l fear
England is in today" he added,
though ] have hopes it will come
out of it." ....
Judge Gary will be examined
again Thursday. He gave way for
an hour to several employees of the
corporations mills, who told the
committee they knew of no reason
for the strike. All agreed that the
men who voluntarily responded to
the strike call were mostly foreign
ers and one of them, John J.. Mar
tin. a Youngstown machinist, at
tackled the leaders of the national
steel workers committee.

MAJOR JAKAH0ME
FOR VISIT AFTER
DUTY IN GERMANY
Brings Back Crown Prince S
Tobacco Pouch as
Souvenir.

Major Wallace ]. Jaka, who Spent
yesterday in Omaha at the home of
his family. 1903 North Thirty-third
street, is on his way to Chicago,
ILL.,, where he will report for duty
with the Central department, Quar-
termaster corps.
Major Jaka served on the per-
sonal staff of Gen. Geo. H. Harries
in Berlin, where for six months he
was in charge of supplies for all
troops in the Army of Occupation,
in Siberia and Szecho- -Slavia. In
addition to this he was paymaster
and, last but not least, had charge
of all arrangements for the enter
tainment of the troops when not
on duty.
Collection of Souvenirs.
The major is a jovial sort of a
character, and one does not need
great deal of imagination to be-
lieve that the men under his juris-
diction did not suffer for lack of
proper diversion. He has many pho
tographs of excursions, ball teams,
bands and other attractions which
he offered them.
Major Jaka has one of the most
complete and unique collections of
souvenirs ever brought to the
United States. Three of his trunks
are filled with German guns, decora-
tions, sabers and many other articles
which are different than the general
run of souvenirs. The collection has
been on display in New York and
Washington since the major re-
turned abodt seven weeks ago. One
of the items of especial interest is
a tobacco pouch said to have been
carried by the crown prince. 1t
bears the imperial coat of arms, the
name of the prince, his military rank
and organization, and the date, 1915,
when it was presented to him by the
emperor.
Commended by Harries.
A letter to Major Jaka, signed by
General Harries, expresses ap-
probation of his efforts and success
full combating of all the many prob
lens which presented themselves.
1t states that any expression of graf
itude would be entirely inadequate
in face of the excellent services rem
dered. 4.-
Major Jaka will be retained in
the service indefinitely. He will
serve in Chicago, where his family
will Join him, for some time.

Serious Attempt at
Mediating Strike in
Britain Is Launched

London, Oct. 1.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press. For the first time
since the railway strike began, there
has been serious attempt at media
ton, undertaken by the powerful
Transport Workers federation. This
organization. before committing its
SO unions to sympathetic strike,
decided to see if it was not possible
to bridge the narrow margin sepa-
rating the government and the ma
tional union of railway men, namely,
whether the terms already granted
the locomotive men would also be
granted to other grades of railway
men.
= At the conclusion of the confer
ence ali official statment was issued
to the effect that the government
would only resume negotiations pro-
vided the railway men first resumed
work. The premier, however, con-
sented to receive the executive of
tn National Union of Railway Men
and. accordingly, the deputation of
transport workers, with representa-
tiyes OF the railway men, proceeded
to Downing street aga'-@' 20 acertain
on what basis negotiations might
be reopened.
No definite conclusion was
reached. but it was arranged that
another conference with the premier
should be held at 10 o'clock Thurs
day morning.
The crux of the whole problem
seems to be the fixed idea among
labor that the government is COM
mitted to the policy of smashing the
unions.

denounced the strike and "outlawed"
the striking pressmen.
The lockout" of printers was Or
dered by the printers league section
of the Association of Employing
Printers, which is supported by the
international Printing Pressmen
and Assistants Union of North
America, affiliated with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. Four local
pressmen's and feeders unions are
involved.

secretary of the Periodical Publish
ers' association, announced the list OF
periodicals of national circulation

Waring that if Germany continues
its "nefarious operations" in Russia

Lenine and Trotzky were German
agents.
