KIDNAPPED IN PAJAMAS,
WAKES IN GIRLS DORM

Denver. Colo, Dec. l0.-Joe Hen
~. popular sophomore at Denver
university. disclaims any vanishing
Bill' Carlisle ambitions, but he has
experienced the thrill of escaping
from a packing box similar to the
one in which the notorious train rob-
ber made his escape from the Raw
Inns state penitentiary, not, however,
without the assistance of some of
the fair co-eds at Denver university.
Delivery of huge box at the
girls dormitory of the university,
addressed to one of the 100 odd CO.
eds there, created great excitement
and mystery. When the girls sue
ceeded in opening the box they dis
covered Henry within dressed in pa
jamas.
The sophomore declares he was
'lidnaped" while sleeping in his
quarters and was as much bewild-
cred as the girls when he was taken
from the box.

GREAT WHITE WAY"
IS ORDERED DARKENED.

New York, Dec. 10.-New York's
Great White Way" was darkened
Wednesday night under the menace
of heavy fine or prison sentences
for violators of the fuel conserva-
ton orders. Its department stores
and other retail establishments had
finished a shortened days business
by light of Z strictly restricted num-
Der of electric lamps. 1t had, how
ever, been spared the enforcement
Of the three-day week rule applying

turing enterprises and the prospect
Of extensive unemployment from
this cause, and the 4 o'clock closing
rule for Offices in order to spare
light was far from generally OBJ

HOPE TODESTROY
ONLY OASIS IN
NORTH AMERICA
Inter-Church Persons Fear Cuba
Will Become Too Popular
Among Thirsty Sports.

New. York, Dec. l0.-A campaign
to prevent Cuba from becoming
"the Monte Carlo of the western
world and the oasis of the North
American Sahara" was launched to-
day by the interchurch movement of
North America.
English speaking residents of
Cuba are ready to contribute $780,
600 for the campaign, according to
Guy S. Inman, secretary of the in
terdenominational committee of the
churches, in cooperation with Latin
American church organizations
throughout the United States which
will be asked to assist.
Good Time Predicted.
There is a very definite attempt
being made" said DR.. Inman, ito
make Cuba, particularly Havana, the
Monte Carlo of the western. world.
The winter season in Cuba generally
is gay. but this year efforts will be
made to add new attractions. Horse
racing and other forms of gambling
and worse will be in full blast.
"As Christians we cannot get away
from our duty to intervene"
Boys" Ask for Passports.
DR.. Inman said that $4,000 Amer
leans had applied to the State DEPART
ment for passports for Cuba for the
winter season, and that by January
l the number would exceed 100000.
Denial that the island was becom-
ing a Monte Carlo was made today
BY Leopold Dolse, Cuban consul
general at New York. He said there
we're no plans on foot to legalize
roulette ,2 or other games that feature
Racing is attracting many Amer
leans to Havana this season as
usual" he said. There is betting
on the horses, as there is in New
York City, with this difference: In
Cuba the government protects the
bettors. In New York the man who
wins has no redress if the person
with whom he laid the wager fails to
pay.
Buying Drinks Is Legal.
"And it is legal in Cuba for one to
buy cocktail. In New York, accord
ing to the papers, you sometimes can
buy drink, but it is not legal.
"I have never heard of any Eng
lish speaking residents of the island
objecting to racing and cocktails. If
they should raise any fund at all, in
this connection, it would probably
be for more of the same"

RESENT INSULT OF
WAR SECRETARY
Want Murderous Aliens De-
ported and Demand Answer
From Hitchcock.

Lincoln. Dec. 10.-(Special Tele-
gram. 1.-The following letter to all
Nebraska congressman, and to Sena-
tors Hitchcock and Norris in partic-
ular, was endorsed and given out by
the state executive committee of the
Nebraska American Legion in ses-
sion here today:
"In our Nebraska state convention
held in Omaha last month certain
measures were advocated and MEM
bers of congress from the state of
Nebraska were requested to express
their opinions concerning them.
Senators Gilbert M. Hitchcock and
George w. Norris and Congressman
w. E. Andrews did not consider the
request of $4,000 ex-service men in
the state of enough consequence to
even reply. The executive commit
tee of the Nebraska American Le-
gion believes the following matter
of prime importance necessitating
immediate action:
THE deportation of aliens who
are members of organizations that
aim to overthrow the government
Demand Deportation.
"The murder of four of our conf
rades at Centra1ia, Wash, stirred the
country for a day. The state of
Washington, through the attorney
general, asked for deportation of IA
I. w. w. who were aliens, but the
Department of Labor refused. The
letter of the attorney general de-
manding reconsideration of this
refusal is conclusive evidence and au-
thority for such deportation. We
request every member of the Me-
braska congressional delegation to
read this letter and to demand action
accordingly. 1t is reported by the
Centralia post of the Legion that the
l. w. w. have raised 100000 for
defense of these murderers and al
ready have obtained change of
venue.
An Insulting Reply.
1--WE believe that action on this
matter should be taken at once. We
further believe that much of the
defiance now exhibited toward gov
ernmental authority may be directly
traced to leniency shown By the gov
ernment in dealing with alien en-
emies, slackers and conscientious
objectors during the war. We have
called upon the secretary of war for
an explanation regarding the release
of conscientious objectors. The two
