Monday Nights Audience Mystified
Tries vainly to detect difference between voice of
famous soprano and RECREATION by
Edison's monograph

dertaken last Monday night at
High School Auditorium by
Thomas A. Edison. He sought
to prove that no difference
exists between the voice of
the living artist and it's RE-
CREATION by the New Edi-
son. The unsteady cultured
of Edgerton were invited to
pass judgment. No test could
have been more exacting.
Miss Shepherd made compari-
son after comparison. The
mystified audience tried vain
~ to catch a difference be
tween the original rendition
and it's RECREATION by
the New Edison. No one
could tell one from the other.
1t was triumph whole and
complete for the New Edison.

Buick Company Equipped to
Do ANY Kind of Repair Work

Cleanliness and service are two
words which the Nebraska Buick
Automobile company are planning
to link together in such manner
that folks will be impressed with
the excellent facilities which their
new home affords them for doing all
manner of repair work.
The fourth floor of the new
Buick building has been turned over
entirely to the repair and service
department. Here where space
seems to be the first impression, the
workmen have installed every
working device known to motor
mechanics, and a few others which
have been worked out under the di-
rection of Lee Huff. A huge crane
runs the entire length of the build
ing on two sides. The largest cleo

BUSY ON LEAGUE
OF NATIONS PLAN
CONTINUED From Page One)

Of the conference while the execu-
tive branch is similar TO the council
of the great powers now holding
daily sessions.
Changes Made in Revision.
The revised plan makes several
important changes. The legislation
branch remains the same, with the
great and small nations represented.
The executive branch is modified,
hJwever, so as to consist chiefly
Of the great powers with two rep
resentatves from each to which
others from the small powers may
be added when interests especially
affecting them are at issue.
The third branch is entirely
changed, so as to eliminate the plan
of arbitrators and substitute an ex-
ecutive council of the great powers
as a tribunal for judging internal is
sues, analogous to the international
supreme council.
1t is the two latter features which
are regarded by the small powers
as tending to concentrate the ex-
ecutive and judicial branches in the
hands of the great powers, whereas
the small powers prefer the plan
giving them a status on the ex-
ecutive branch, and arbitration as
a means of judicial determination
instead of a tribunal Of the great
powers.
The question now before the COM
mission is one largely between the
great and small powers. Several Of
the small powers are understood to
be preparing amendments to the re-
vised plan, with a view to giving
them representatives in all branches
and it is said the tendency among
the great powers is to give every
reasonable consideration to these de-
sires, while preserving to the major
powers such voice as their large in
terests and responsibilities warrant.

The resolution was regarded by

to by Senator Thomas of Colorado
in the senate discussian as "crimi-
nal Senator Kellog declared that
the I. w. w. was seeking to wreck

probably will be deferred. What
was to have been final meeting Of
the subcommittee was held today,

Baker Withholds Record.
When the committee met early
today along discussion was started
by an announcement at Senator

refused to give the committee infor-
nation concerning an investigation
by the War department of alleged
pro-German sentiments of F. ]. Fl.
Won Engelken. former president of
the Federal Farm Loan bank at
Columbia, S. c.
After the discussion had contin-
ued some time and Mr.. Baker had
been severely criticised for his at
titude, his letter to Chairman Over
man was read. The secretary wrote
that he would permit the committee
or its counsel to examine the rec
ord as to Mr.. Won Engelken to de-
termine its usefulness to the in
quiry, but added that he did not be-
lieve the information would be of
the Slightest assistance"

wrote but rather take this course
because / know you wish to protect
an apparently guiltless man from
further notoriety." .a
The report of the military intel

cordiug to an excerpt quoted by Mr.
Baker, said that Mr.. Won Engelken
was loyal to the United States, al
though his conduct prior to the ell
trance of this country into the war,
as we'll as since, has caused him to
be much criticised man" .t

GREAT POWERS
TO HELP SETTLE
DIFFICULTIES
Conference Warns Polish and
Czech Nations Against 0C-
Cupying Territories to
Which They Lay Claim.

Paris, Feb. 4.-The peace confer
ence has warned the Polish and
Czech nationalities, who are disput-
ing control of the Teschen mining
district in Austrian Silesia, that they
must refrain from occupying the
territories to which they lay claim,
according to an official bulletin is
sued last night.
The document reads as follows:
THE representatives of the great
powers, having been informed Of the
conflict which has arisen between
the Czechs and the Poles in. the
principality of Teschen,
have declared as follows:
In the first instance, they think
it necessary to remind the nation
alities who have engaged to submit.
the territorial questions which con-
Germ them to the peace conference
for its decision Chat they have
promised) to refrain from taking as
a pawn, or from occupying the ter
ritories to which they laid claim.
THE representatives take note of
the engagement by which the Czech
delegates have declared that they
were definitely stopping their troops
on the line Of the railway which
runs from Oderberg to Teschen
and Jablungkau.
Occupation OF Czechs.
pending the decision of the peace
congress as to the dehnitive assign
ments of the territories, that part of
the railway line to the north of Tcs-
chen and the mining regions will
remain in the occupation of Czech
troops, while the southern section
of the line starting from and in
Guiding the town of Teschen down
to Jablungkau, will be entrusted to
the military supervision Of the
Poles.
"The undersigned consider it in
dispensable that commission Of
control should be Immediately seat
to the spot to avoid any conflict be-
tween the Czechs and the Poles in
the region of Teschen. This COM
mission, apart from the measures
that it will have to prescribe, will
proceed to an inquiry on the basis
of which the peace conference may
form its decision in fixing definitely
the respective frontiers of the
Czechs and the Poles in the con-
tested zone.
"In order to seal the entente be-
tween the two friendly nations,
which should follow policy in full
accord with that of the allied and as
sociated powers, the representatives
OF the great powers register the
promise of the Czech representa-
lives that their country will put at
the disposition of the Poles all its
available resources in war material
and will grant to them every facil-
! ity for the transit of arms and am
munition.
THAT exploitation of the mines OF
the Karvin- Ostrawa district will be
carried out in such a way as to
avoid all attractions of private prop

Recount Of Soldier Ballots
Shows Tanner Still in Lead

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 4.-(Special)
-Recout of the vote in seven pre-
cincts of the Sixth and Seventh
wards in Omaha in the Broatch-
Tanner election contest for a seat
in the state senate was completed
by the senate committee on priv
ileges and elections tonight.
In each of the precincts some of
the ballots were thrown out, but
after the changes had been recorded,
the results remained unchanged,
showing Senator Tanner still six to
the good, couting of the soldier vote.
1t has been limited that the COM
mittee may throw out the entire
soldier vote because the outer en-
velopes for the ballots were opened
previous to the canvass of the vote.
In the event that the committee
adopts this view. w. J. Broatch will

prominent in the investigation which
resulted in the arrest Of the Omaha
photographer following complaints
OF little children to their parents that
they had been mistreated in the But

One Of the children on whose

and persuaded to repudiate her
charge against the photographers, and
when an investigator called on the
child a few days ago to inquire fur
Their into Buffers treatment of her,
She replied that she did not tell the
witness in the hope that the accused
man will beat the case.
Il have heard nothing about
contemplated plan to file contempt
charges against me-" said Attorney
Brady. Il have not tempered with
the witnesses and am willing to
meet the charge any time it is
brought. ....
Reverses Case.
II know that officers of the
juvenile court have been using in
timidating tactics in order to get
children to make untrue statements
against their will. / have paid no
attention to this. however. Several
instances of this method of persecut-
ing my client have been brought to
my notice"

ton that a little girl and her par
ents were frightened with threats of
sending the child to the reform
school if she did not go back on her
charges" said one of the investi-
gators. 1.-THE child made detailed
statement twice to Miss Bessie
Monsky in the presence of wit

 "Dinner, 2s." "March 20." "Vege- tables" Please pay at the desk. "No tips"
