Fusillade Of Shots
Fired From Speeding
Auto Attracts Crowd

Three shots from touring car
speeding west on Douglas street be-
tween Eleventh and Twelfth streets
at 8 last night brought crowd of
several hundred persons to the
scene.
The police were unable to deter
mine the cause of the shooting or its
location. A squad of officers hur-
ried from central police station, a
block distant, but returned to the
station on being told that "torpe-
does" on the street car track were
discharged when a street car ran
over them.
John Ostermeyer, Woodbine, Ia,
guest at the Albany hotel, near the
scene of the shooting, said no street
car passed at the time of the shoot
ing. Mrs. M. Gitlin, I'LL Douglas
street, said she saw a touring car
speeding up Douglas street across
Eleventh street just before the shots
were fired and that when the car
was in front of the Albany hotel she
heard the shots.
THE shots must have come from
that touring car" said Mrs. Gitlin,
"as there was nothing else nearby on
the street at the time. I saw several
men and one woman in the back seat

Mexicans Kidnapped
By Yankee Soldiers,
Is Charge Of Consul

Washington, Oct. 1S.-The Mex
lean consul at Preside, Tex, has
reported to Ambassador Bonillas
two alleged invasions of Mexican
territory which, he says, has in
volved the kidnapping of Mexicans
by American soldiers. The consul,
in his report, said he. had complained
to the proper United States military
authorities and that the soldiers
were arrested and the Mexicans
freed and their arms, which had been
taken by the soldiers, had been re-
stored to them.
On one occasion, it was claimed
by the consul, three American SOL
diers went across the border to the
town of San Juan and seized num-
Der of Mexicans, searched them and
their houses and carried them back
into United States territory with
the arms they found. The other
occasion, the consul alleges, was in
The town of Barranca de IA LUCE,
and the Mexican citizens seized
were taken to the town of Maria,

by the soldiers when the consul

FIVE massive columns supported from

LITTLE HOPE OF
>AVERTING STRIKE
OF COAL MINERS
Will Go Out Unless All De-
mands. Including Fiive-Day
Week, Are Granted.

Washington, Oct. 10. - There
seemed little hope of averting the
strike of 100000 bituminous coal
miners, called for November l.
After series of conferences with
labor leaders here and telephone
talks with others in the central coal
territory, John L. Lewis, president
of the United Mine Workers of
America, announced that the miners
would go out unless all demands,
including the hve-day week, were
granted.
The operators, standing by their
decision not to consider any pro-
posal looking to shorter weekly
schedule and refusing to open ne
gctiations unless the strike order
was withdrawn, charged that the
miners were trying to freeze the
country into submission by insisting
upon acceptance of impossible de-
mands."
"The strike will not be called off, I"
Lewis declared.
"We will not arbitrate while the
strike order stands" said Thomas
T. Brewster, chairman of the oper-
ators' scale committee.
Meanwhile pressure was being
brought to bear on both sides from
many quarters to adjust their diff
ferences and save untold distress.
Lewis said there would be enough
coal on hand November l to keep
the country warm 80 days.
Secretary Wilson, at whose invi-
tation the scale committees of the
miners and operators will meet with
him here Tuesday, declined to COM
ment on the negotiations and con-
tinued to hope that he would be able
to bring about peace.

the underpinning was being placed.
The excavation had to be protected
from horizontal pressure until the
extension columns had been lifted
into position.
Every operation of the work had
to be performed with precision, be-
cause, as an engineer expressed it,
Zone false move and it would have
been good night" ..
The completed work means that
the bases Of five supporting col
umns of the building will be IS feet
lower than they were, each column
resting on anew base.
This is the first engineering work
Of this nature ever done in Omaha,
and one of the first in this country
outside of the New York subway.
The principle is that of adding
length to building from the bot
tom, instead of adding another story
to the top.

NATIONAL AGONY
Size Of Inter-AHied Commits

"HospitaIity."
By KARL H. Won WIEGAND.

universal service StaIH COkreepOnuentsI
Berlin, Oct. l8.-Ohicial and par
Humanitarian Germany is almost in
Mysteries over the size of the inter-
allied commissions which are to SUI
pervise the disarming of Germany as
provided by the peace treaty.
The Germans are only now be-
ginning to realize fully the extent to
which the execution of the treaty by
not over-friendly or even impartial
or disinterested executors will en-
tail long process of national agony
for the Germans.
An inter-allied control commits
sion of 420 officers and $40 men, not
including any Americans, has been
announced to Berlin with the request
that proper quarters and accommo-
dations be quickly provided.
Not less than 200 automobiles will
come with this one commission and
Germany must furnish the gasoline
for them With the hotels crowded,
even bath rooms and office rooms
being used as sleeping quarters, and
with compulsory billeting in the res
idence sections for the homeless be-
ing in force, the government is find
ing the greatest difficulties to locate
quarters for the foreign commissions.
Clear Out All Guests.
The government arbitrarily solved
the problem, ordering, the big hotels
Eden and Kaiserhof as we'll as two
smaller ones. the Saxonia and Carl
ton, to clear out all guests and make
room for the commissions.
This has aroused the most intense
indignation not only among the no
tel keepers but also among several
hundred guests, many of whom are
prominent personages and unable to
find a place to 60.
Germany must pay the cost of be-
ing disarmed and put on peace ba-
sis which it is now seen is a costly
operation. The budget committee
of the national assembly was star
tied when figures were submitted
showing the cost of taking care OF
the inter-allied control commissions
is approximately 3,000,000,000 marks
($750,OO0,00O).
Postwar Occupation.
Berlin was not taken or occupied
by our enemies during the war, but
it is being taken and occupied by
our former enemies after peace, and
we pay for it," remarked one of the
ministers bitterly to me today, add
ing with resignation: "But it's writ
ten in the Wilson peace"
Fear is expressed in government
and parliamentary circles that the
presence of so many allied officers
in Berlin will inevitably lead to pub
lie incidents that may be used for
still sterner measures against Ger
many.
Members of the nationalistic par
ty, on the other hand, declare that
nothing will so quickly and rapidly
tend to awaken national feeling In
Germany than just that. This, it Is
asserted, Is shown blythe killing of
the l7-year-old German girl, Rather
inc Arnold, at Ludwigshaven by
five French soldiers, followed by
general strike at Ludwigshaven and
surrounding towns. Not only did
all workers stop, but all places of
business were closed in protest
against "French terrorism"

ing of one German and the wound
ing of another>by colored Moroc-
can soldier.
