Mayor Smith Rests
for Night at K. c. on
His. Way to Springs

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. 1o,-(Spe-
eial Telegram)-Mayor Smith OF
Omaha arrived here at 8 last night,
on his way to Excelsior Springs,
where he will recuperate from the
effects of an attack made upon him
by the Omaha mob, Sunday night,
September %. tN
Aside from the fatigue which he
suffered after six hours Of travel, he
said he was feeling all right and
asserted that Omaha was all right.
The mayor, accompanied BY his
wife and daughter, rested for the
night at the Baltimore hotel.
"The presence of federal troops in
Omaha saved the situation without
doubt" said Mayor Smith. Gen
eral Wood performed a splendid
service in taking charge Of the situa-
tion."
The mayor leaned on cane az he
spoke and 4 patch of adhesive plas-
ter on his forehead was the outward
evidence of his injuries.

ing and the Pershing children, had
been aroused by the noise Of crack
ing wood. Smoke filled her room
She awakened her children and
called to Mrs. Pershing. Then she
opened . door to the hall. A gust
of smoke drove her back and she
retreated through her room to the
roof of the front porch. From there
she threw her children, 3-year-old
Philip and o-year-old James, to men
below, and jumped herself.
Baby clasped in Arms.
Meantime other men had entered
the house. There were Lieut.. (now
Major) Eugene Santshi, jr., and c.
J. Haslett among them. Mrs. Perish
ing was found unconscious near a
door of her room. Her youngest
child-her baby, 3-year-old Mary
Margaret-was clasped in her arms.
Nearby were the other children, ly-
ing where they had fallen when the
mother who sought to save them
collapsed. All were carried outside
and every effort was made to revive
them. Only Warren responded.
Mrs. Pershing, the baby, Anne Orr

Events from January 20. 1914, even
despite the world war. are toe
poisnantly fresh IN the minds Of
people to require much iteration.
In February, 1914, William S. Ben
ton, 4 British subject, was mur-
dered by Mexicans in Juarez. One
wanton crime followed another. In
April 4 party of American sailors
was seized at Vera Cruz and thrown
into prison. Then came Huerta's
refusal to salute the Stars and
Stripes and the consequent Amer
lean occupation Of Vera Cruz. dur
ing which action several Americans
were killed.
Shortly afterward a proposal for
mediation was made by Argentina,
Brazil and Chill. The proposal was
accepted and conferences were held
at Niagara Falls. They brought no
decisive results, however, and mat
tiers dragged along until July when
Huerta, his finances exhausted, his
army beaten and disorganized, pre-
sented his resignation to the Mex
lean congress. A few days later he
sailed from Puerto, Mexico. on the
German cruiser Dresden. The Car
RAMA Villa troubles followed.
Attack on Columbus.
These troubles brought increasing
tenseness in the situation. Spor-
adic outbreaks occurred. finally de-
veloping into the Columbus raid on
March 9, 1916, when Villa crossed
the border with 500 of his renegade
band Of outlaws and attacked the
little New Mexican town, numbering
score of Americans.
But before recounting the occur
rences subsequent to this raid one
relating to the life of Pershing must
record the big tragedy of that life
the tragedy of the Preside: August
q. 1915, it happened. Crushing, ov-
empowering in its suddenness. came
the news to him.
The Telegram. T..
"Wife and three children suhocat-
ed in fire at Preside. Warren in

Such was the message flashed over
the wires from the Preside to Fort

RETAILERS OF.
CITY co 0NDE N N
ACTIONS Of MOB
Send Greetings to Mayor
Smith With Sincere Wishes
for Speedy Restoration
to Health.

At the monthly meeting Of the
Assoeiated Retailers Of Omaha 4
resolution was adopted eondemning
the actions of the mob in the recent
riot and endorsing Mayor Smith.
This was the first meeting under the
new president, w. S. Stryker.
Reports from the credit bureau
committee disclosed that the busi-
ness among retailers during the
month of September, 1919, was far
in excess Of that last year. All the
committees for the coming year
were appointed.
Resolutions as Passed.
Resolutions condemning the mob,
favoring Mayor Smith. and con-
demning mob publicity follow:
Be is resolved by the Associated
Retailers of Omaha. That we con-
denim, in unmeasured terms, the ac-
tions of the mob that assembled in
Omaha on Sunday, September %;
and point with pride to the fact that
this condemnation is representative
Of public sentiment in this city. We
send cordial greetings to Mayor Ed
P. Smith, with sincere wishes for his
speedy restoration to health. We
extend to Mayor Smith our thanks
for the great courage he displayed
in the presence of the mob. Al
though unsuccessful in his efforts,
Mayor Smith set an example to Of
hcials and citizens everywhere in
! showing that he understood that the
preservation of law and order is so
important to society that men should
be wiling to die in their defense.
Objects to Publicity.
Be it resolved by the Associated
Retailers Of Omaha, That criticism
is stimulating and often helpful, but
infanmatory press reports, under
the guise of news, are only injurious
and we do not sanction it at all. We
appreciate the importance of our
newspapers and desire to patronize
and see them prosper, but our clean
civic and business advertising is null
lihed if associated with brazen pub
licity OF crime, scandal and bitter
denunciation Of our city govern
ulent.
To discredit our city and all our
business enterprises in the eyes of
the nation and sacrifice our domestic
peace and safety to create news and,
worse still, to satisfy prejudice or
vengeance, is neither just nor fair.
We hold that constant derision of
public officials is detrimental to law
and order, disturbing to business
life, and in the last analysis is un-
manly and un-Americae~

Presidents Tribute.
Next on the paper was 4 tribute
from Caroline Hazard, president OF
Wellesley college at the time. 1t
read:
"Mrs. Pershing-Frances Warren
of 1o03-looked very charming the
last time that many of us saw her,
at the We.leslv off-campus rally, on
Wednesday, August rs. At the din
rer in the Massachusetts, building,
the girls had provided each person
with Z noval and ingenious hat of
various periods and mixed them up
delightfully."-, the style Of rs, with its
shepard's burres being given to q
recent graduate, and the more mod
ern ones to the gray-haired alumnae.
There were some college mortar
boards and Frances Warren had
one, perched at a true serior angle
on her light hair. She sat at my
right, as we were both of 1908, and
both wore the class colors in roses.
She was very gay and bright, but a
little preoccupied, as one has to be
when speech-making time comes. I
lad made mine in the afternoon, and
was free to listen and enjoy,
"She made a beautiful speech.

seriousness, as she pleaded for no
narrowing Of specializing Of college
work"

training have had has helped me
in every way she said, from the
care Of my children to retiring from
