Opposition TO Militants
A decisive step against militancy to
win suffrage for women was urged
today by Mrs. John o. Miller. of Pitts

Woman Suffrage Association. in her
annual address before the convention,

Mrs. Miller suggested that the con :

members must choose definitely between

Mrs. Miller further suggested that
four suffrage organizers be put into tho

Millionaire Now in
Chorus Spends Pay to
Entertain His Friends

Boston, Aug. 2.-Here's the latest
"a millionaire chorus man found in
| Boston.
Philip Bruce, scion of prominent
Brookline family, heir to a fortune,
is working as one of the Handsome
strangers in a sextet at a local
theater for SIS week and for the
sake of art and experience. Al
though stage struck" from his
youth, Bruce has never found an op-
portunity to go on the stage.
He studied vocal culture with
Ivan Morawski and oratorio singing
with Emil Mollenhauer, the noted
conductor, but even with this train
ing theatrical managers refused to
consider his applications for jobs
seriously, not because they ques-
toned his ability, but because they
knew he was heir to fortune.
Finally he applied to local thea
ter manager for job in the chorus.
Not knowing that Bruce was a mil
lionaire, the manager hired him as a
chorus man at SIS week. His
voice got him into the double sextct
as one of the handsome strangers
who sing the famous ditty, Tell Me.
Pretty Maiden, Are There Any More
at Home Like Your" Many present
day millionairesses have been cho-
rus girls in this number, but never
before has it boosted a millionaire
chorus man. 81,

his wife and son in the Back Bay.

Lives Five Years Near
Mother Mourned as
Dead Many Years Ago

Denver, Colo, Aug. ITO be
separated for 80 years from his fam
lily, to live five years in the house
with his mother, whom he mourned
as dead, and his sister, is the strange
experience of Ernest Goldman.
The family separated in Leadville,
Colo, IS years ago. Goldman came
to Denver with his father and never
heard what became of his mother
and sister. Because his father beat
him, Goldman ran away when he
was IS years old.
Fifteen years ago Goldman went
to work as janitor at the Colorado
Christian Home, little knowing that
during the time his sister was an
inmate of the orphanage.
Last Christmas" he said, my
sister was with the Salvation army
in charge of one of the Christmas
donations kettles on the streets of
Denver. She inquired of Brigadier
Waite if he had ever heard of me-
He told her | was with the Saliva
ton army in Billings, Mont"
Brigadier Waite wrote Goldman
who, believing a mistake had been
made Ill her identity, went to Hi
nois and later returned to Denver.
On his return to Denver few
days ago he secured the address of
his sister and there, living with
her, was his mother-long mourned

Now how often may not a plan to

II have never done so, for my

principle expressed in the saying
that you never can tell" l agree
with the American jurist who lays ii
down that we should not hang a yell

stantlal evidence, not even if he has

We can understand that he was ca

rule it is in the task of penetsa ting
to the spiritual truth that the adj
ministration of justice breaks down.
Sometimes that truth is deliberately
concealed, as in Manderson's case.
Sometimes, | think, it is concealed
because simple people are actually

Summer of SO So Hot, Fishes

Sarpy County Pioneer Tells How Indians Were Pros
trated Under Shade Trees and How Large Chunks
of Ice Melted by Being Carried Block.

"If you think it is hot this sum-
mer, you ought to have been here in
the summer of 1853, or rather, 81
years ago and then you could have
seen things sizzle and fry" This is
what H. T. Lane one of the pioneers
of Sarpy county, confided to num-
Der of Douglas county pioneers
when all were in the association
rooms in the court house one day
last week, swapping yarns on the
incidents of long ago. Continuing
Mr.. Lane added:
Father had come from the east
the fall before and settled on piece
of land in Sarpy county, on the
Platte river bottom. I was a lad
of 10 years and l remember pretty
distinctly the weather of that first
summer we lived in Nebraska. As
l recall it, the hot weather started
along in June and there was not a
break until we'll into September.
July we went over to Bellevue to
celebrate. There were a number of
Indians there to take part in the
races and the weather was so hot
that during the afternoon, while sit

One Pint Of Whisky
for Each Inhabitant
in Wheeling Prison

Wheeling, w. Va, Aug. g.
There is enough whisky in this town
to give every inhabitant pint each,
officials state. It's doing the thirsty
no good, however, as it is in the
Ohio county Jail. In all there are
1000 gallons of whisky, of which
1900 was taken in one raid by fed
eral officers, the remainder being
taken from persons bringing it from
wet territory just before prohibition
became effective in Ohio and West
Virginia. The whisky, which is val
ued at $4,000, would give two ounce
drinks to 10000 thirsties, it is esti-
mated.
George Phillips, state law enforcer,
has returned from Monongahela
county, where he arrested a. men
and one woman for bringing liquor
from Pennsylvania, capturing,
among other things, AZ quarts and
2l0 pints left on trains by persons
who feared capture. Hundreds OF
gallons of liquor were found i'll
other spots.

approval of nationwide prohibition:

replied.

U.S.AND ENGLAND
ARE ANIMATED BY

Such Is Attitude of Lord Read
ing, Who Pleads for
Friendship With
America.
By w. L. MALLABAR,
international News Service Staff COrre-
sDOndent,l

London, July l9.-(By Mail.)-
I'VE have the same comon heritage;
we have the same ideals of liberty;
we are animated by the same COM
mon cause. 1t is impossible that
any serious differences can ever
arise between Great Britain and the
United States"
These are but a few of the senti-
ments expressed by Lord Reading
during his speech at luncheon
given in his honor by the Overseas
club recently. He spoke with au-
thority, as one having occupied the
position of British ambassador to
the United States during the past
two years when Britain and Amer
lea were united in the effort to crush
Germany.
There is a strong and determined
effort on the part of certain fac
tons in the United States to stir up
trouble with England" said Lord
Reading. Il sincerely trust, and be-
lieve, that no attempt will be made
here to answer this anti-British
propaganda. 1t does not represent
the real sentiment of the people at
all-of the people that count, at
least.
This war has shown that Eng
disappearing nations of the world
are of one blood and have one COM
mon purpose inNiew. We stand for
justice-for justice for those we
have conquered and justice for those
who are with or against us. We
must and will remain united in that
bond, for upon US depends the peace
and prosperity of the world"
Viscount Bryce, former ambassa-
dor to the United States, who intro
duced Lord Reading to the Over
seas club members, said that his ex-
perence in America has caused him
to believe that the adverse state
ments which were being circulated
in this country and Amerca regard

try and the United States were ut

Large Production Of
Cheap Motor Cars Is
Planned in England

London, Aug. "A proposal to
convert a $5,OO0,OO0 national war
plant into an automobile factory
which would employ 5000 ex-sol-
diers in turning out cheap cars is be-
ing considered by the government.
Pending decision, the sale of the war
plant at Burton-on-Trent by the
ministry of munitions is being de-
layed.
In addition to providing work for
men who otherwise would be loafing
about, drawing unemployment pay
from the government, 1t is hoped
that automobiles could be produced
at a price within reach Of the middle
classes, thereby easing to some ex-
tent the very overburdened trans
portation system.
Engineering experts at the minis
try of munitions would design the
car Private industry, however, is
against the measure.
The national factory at Burton
on-Trent was completed about the
time the armistice was signed and
covers 90 acres. 1t was designed for
quantity production of machine
guns.
