Mrs. Blanche Van Ausdell
shrieked the foregoing words in
Judge Redick's court yesterday
afternoon while County Attorney
Shotwell was cross-examining Miss
Flora Cottrell
Rising from her chair, Mrs. Van
Ausdell uttered more words which
were lost in the pandemonium of
the court room. Then she went into
Mysteries and was carried out of the
room by attendants.
A doctor was called. Judge
Redick dismissed the jury. Mrs.
Van Ausdell's means were heard
from the ante room. The physician
finally quieted her and the trial pro-
ceeded after 20 minutes delay.
The mystery of the outburst re-
mains. County Attorney Shot
wells question was simply this:
"Did Mrs. Van Ausdell visit you
when you lived on Capitol avenue?"
Witness Confronts Attorney.
Before the question could be
answered Mrs. Val, AusdeIl had
made the startling interruption.
Miss Cottrell. after the session
Of the afternoon, confronted Mr.!
Shotwell.
THAT had nothing to do with this
case" she said. "You had no right
to bring it UP. l did have some
trouble, but that was long ago."
Miss Cottrelf and Mrs. Van Aus
dell have been going out together to
picture shows and other places, ac-
cording to Miss Cottrelps testimony.
1t was the second strenuous day
in the trial of Mrs Van Ausdell for

Sunday, February 10 last, because
she believed that Mrs. Ijams and
Van Ausdell we're intimate.
Van Ausdell. lineman for the
Nebraska Power company, has not
at the trial.
Charles c. Wheeler, foreman of
the gang in which Van Ausdell
works, testified that he had told Mrs.
Van Ausdell that he had seen her
husband with another woman on the
Ak-Sar-Ben carnival grounds. He
also told her that Van Ausdell had
shown him letter saying that he
received it from woman other than
his wife.
Charles M. Palmer, 1886 Charles
street, and Robert Morris, 1872
Dodge street, fellow-workmen with
Van Ausdell, testified to the same
effect as Wheeler.

daughter of Mrs. Van Ausdell, testi-
fed in the afternoon, telling of her

Ijams.

daughter of Mrs. Van Auusdell,

on the witness stand during the
morning. -S She testified for nearly
two hours. Miss Cottrell hurried to
her side when she wept. Gay sat
with an arm around her mother.
Mrs. Ijams, plump, stolid and non
chalant, sat shifting pansy through

Although the armistice has been signed and the fighting is over, America and each of the allies will still have great deal to do to com plete their victory, according to the Junior Red Cross, which is launch ing a nationwide health campaign to be carried on through the months of February, March, April and May. The Junior Red Cross is one of the three departments of the Red Cross, which will live on after other depart ments have served their day and the purpose of continuing it's work is to educate the children through service. You cannot love your country unless you work for it; and the best prepar- ation for future good citizenship is through endeavoring to be good citizen NOW. The draft revelations showing, as they did, that at least one out of four of our young men who ought to be in the flower of their prime were PHYSICALLY UNFIT to bear arms for their country, recently

$1,2OO Donated By U. s. Labor De- pertinent Agency to Aid In
 Replacement Work.

1t is being realized more and more each day the benefit to be derived in community from the presence of an active Chamber of Commerce. The organization here, under the able management of MT. Charles L. Mari ner has been specially interested in the past few weeks in replacement work that is securing employment for returned soldiers, as well as as- sisting others in securing employ ment. He has just returned from a business trip to Little Rock where he secured from the U. s. Lebor De- partment Agency gift of $1,2OO to further carry on this part of the work. Six hundred dollars more was asked for, the commission looking up- the request very favorably.
 Engineers, who are due here next week to make survey across White river for an incline extending to the river, were also interviewed by MT. Mariner If the proposed incline of 30,O00 feet is built H will greatly facilitate the loading and unloading of freight on this side of the river.
 Among the many other things the Chamber is interested in is the in stallation of a better sewer system at the Iron Mountain station here. A Missouri Pacific representative has nstified MT. Mariner that he will be here next week to look over the situa- tion, especially that of the toilet rooms, which will probably be moved to another location. The traffic ex- pert, MT. Gregry, will meet with the board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce next Thursday to talk with them about the freight rates be- ing paid by our merchants and oth- CT patrons of the road. It is under stood that Newport pays the same freight rates that Little Rock and Pine Bluff does, the above mentioned towns being one hundred or more miles further south.

Chairman Hubby Expects Every County Unit to Report It's Full
 Quota Not Later Than Feb. 5.

County Chairman A. T. Hubby has succeeded in perfecting a very effi- cient county organization for tho raising of funds for the American Committee for Relief in the Near East and states that he hopes every unit in the county will report in full with it's quota not later than Feb. 9th.
 This fund is vitally important for the saving of many lives which will be lost through starvation if help is not provided and it is also hoped that enough will be raised in this cam paign to provide these people with seed, etc. so that they may become self-supporting as soon as new crop can be raised by them.
 No person with the least mite of human kindness in their makeup can possibly turn down this appeal for help. Let us do unto others as We would have them do unto us. Let us think of the hundreds of thousands ok little children left without father or mother and who are utterly depend- ent on our charity, then there aro millions of others, mostly women and larger children whose great need i1 food and facilities to help them be- come self-supporting.
 Monday is the day when you will be given an opportunity to say whe- ther you are going to help these peo- pie from your own means or if yota are willing that they shall perish.
 The following men have been se- lected as the soliciting committees o3 Newport and they have been asked to report at the Chamber of Cona- merce, at 1 p. m. Monday, February 3rd to get materials and be assigned their working district. It is to be| hoped that every one of them VIII show his love for starving humanity by responding to the call made Of hin| time.

WILSON $ COLONY
 PLAN OPPOSED
When His Plans Were Presented to Peace Conference Thursday
 Debate Lasted Two Hours.

Washington, Jan. 31.- Vigorous opposition was voiced in the senate today by republican leaders to the plan for dealing with captured Ger man colonies and occupied territories in Asiatic Turkey, which press dis patches from France yesterday said had been presented to the peace com ference by President Wilson.
 Democratic spokesmen said they could not believe the reports that the president had proposed permanent in standardization of the territories and urged support of the American peace delegates. Some republican senators said that the official com munique issued by the conference said a plan for disposition had been pre- yiously agreed upon.
 The debate continued for two hours. Republican leaders renewed their criticism of the plan for a league of nations, the delay in con- cluding peace with Germany, "secret diplomacy" and other questions con nected with the peace conference. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, the republican leader, declared that statements in dispatches from spe- cial newspaper correspondents at Paris that the United States would be required to help maintain order in the captured territories was "abso- lutely unbelievable"

So much has been said about the glorious FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE: our sailors in blue and our soldiers in khaki who have gone forth to suffer and die @to make the world safe for democracy. But how about this SECOND LINE OF DEFENSE" as Margaret Slattery calls it--the children and youth of today who will be the men and women of tomorrow?
 Are we doing all we can to strength en this line, to protect it from the dangers that threaten it, to equip it for future duty, to train it for fu- ture victory? Is this not more col ossal task and does it not require even higher type of patriotism than the strengthening, equipping and training of those who constitute the first line? President Wilson has said we must make the world Safe for Democracy" and these words will go down in history, but Walter E. Ath- earn, one of the greatest prophets of today, has said, "We must make Democracy safe for the world" It is our business to make Democracy safe here as well as abroad-to give back to America her integrity, her purity, to re-discover and restore her lost ideals. We must make this world a decent place to live in for when the First Line of Defense brings home it's precious prize of new freedom for humanity, what will it avail if the HOMES of our country are not ready and none have been trained to RE- CEIVE the new treasure, to guard it, to cherish it? What challenge this filings out to America, to Arkansas, to Jackson county, to Newport and to every town in Jackson county!
