Five Corn Pickers

In Thurston County

A chase for five men believed to
be the bank robbers who escaped
from Lemars, Ia, Jail were sur.
rounded last night at Rosalie, Neb.
and proved to be corn pickers look
ing for job. Police from Omaha
and Norfolk were enroute to Rosa

sheriff's posse from Thurston coun-

The police from Sioux City were
hurried to the scene in special
train, arriving shortly before II
o'clock. Omaha police were halted
at Blair and ordered to return.
Omaha and Council Bluffs police
are following a clue picked up by
F. C. Gilmore of Council Bluffs,
deputy state food and dairy commits

Saturday night, Mr.. Gilmore told
police that man resembling Henry
Smith got on the train at Dow City
Ia, and rode to Council Bluffs.
The local police think it probable
that Smith returned to Omaha, as
he and James O'Keefe, another
member of the gang. formerly lived

Washington, Nov. 16.-Negotia-
ton of new wage scale,in the soft
coal industry stood in much the
same situation tonight as when
miners and operators met at Buffalo
in September to frame a contract to
replace the Washington wage agree
ment.
This time, however, there was no
threat of a strike, and both sides
were ready to resume their confer

Some of the operators protested
that union miners had failed to re-
turn to work as ordered by Federal
Judge Anderson at Indianapolis, and
in the face of withdrawal of the
strike order by officers of the United
Mine Workers of America. 1t was
intimated that this would be

WOMAN BEST AT
40, ARTIST SAYS;
SPINSTERS AGLOW
"Only 1gnoramuses Enjoy So
ciety of Young Girls" Is
His Verdict.

London, 1.Noy. 16.-There is a
furry among the spinsters. An
English artist has come to the con-
clusion that a girl of 40sshould be
mans ideal
He sweeps away all the time-hon-
ored rubbish about spinsters at the
age of 40 ching mostly interested in
cats and canaries.. Here is what he
has to say about the new old girl:
The ideal age for woman from
the viewpoint of the man who
studies the seq as an artist is 40
years.
"The woman of 40 is at the per-
fection of her beauty and has at
tanned a settled mentality which
she did not possess as a girl in her
teens, or as a young woman in her
twenties and thirties.
"At 40 she is an ideal comparl-
lion, pleasantly matured, tolerant
and understanding. Only the igno-
ramuses in life find joy in the So
ciety of young girls or undeveloped
women"
During the war and since many
women of the so-called "sweet-and-
40' age got married, considerable
number of them widows. This has
led to frequent lamentations by
younger women that, with the huge
number Of young unmarried beauties
about, it is unpatriotic for Cupid to
show such favoritism for widows
and spirsters.

Police Search Fails to
Disclose Farmers Roll

When C. F. Dowles, formerly of
Columbus, Neb., was arrested yes
terday afternoon and charged with
drunkenness, the police officer who
searched him at central police sta
ton found only 6o cents on Dowles'
person. Dowles was put away in
the cooler"
Last night he clamored to get out
on bond. Turnkey Charlie Plotts
hauled him out into the desk serg-
eant's office and jokingly told him
he would have to put $500 cash bond
for his freedom. Ordinarily bond
for a drunk is SIS.
Dowles reached down into his
sock and pulled out a roll of $425
cash. Desk Sergeant Ferris made
him put up $500 of the roll for bond
to prevent him spending it during
the night. Dowles thanked Ferris
for what he called a great service.

DR.. Love-the Wise Doctor"
This prescription, together with
the picture of a pretty young wo-
man, was found pinned to the inside
of her husbands dress suit by Mrs
Elizabeth L. Anderson.
Instead of following directions,
the wife consulted an attorney. And
as an aftermath to the discovery,
Kenneth P. Anderson, marine engi-
neer for the w. R. Grace company,
is the defendant in an amended di-
vorce complaint.
1t was while she was carefully
folding her husbands dress suit in
January, 1918, that she came across
the reference to "Dr. Love" in .
newspaper clipping pinned 70 the
lining of the coat and the photo
graphs of two strange women, the
wife declares.
The hardest blow of all, Mrs. An
derson charges, was when her hus-
band came home and proudly exhib-
/ited two embroidered handkerchiefs
and a muffler which he said he re-
ceived fom q woman friend" Ac-
cording to the complaint, Anderson,
not content with showing the gifts,
said:
Il think great deal of that wo-
man."

The industry and capacity of her

at the same time to the good will OF

Nearly one-third of the entire

therefrom exchanged for food.
Germany can count on fewer

Mexico City, Nov. 16.-(By The
Associated Press)-William O.
Jenkins, United States consular
agent at Puebla, was placed under
arrest Saturday and held under Sur
veillance in his home following
charges by officials at Puebla that
jenkins was not abducted by Fred
erico Cordova, the bandit leader,
but was in connivance with him,
according to information received
here last night.
The arrest of jenkins came after
II poems had sworn to statements
before judge i'll Puebla, declaring
that jenkins had been seen in COM
pany with Cordova, who accom-
plished his recent abduction from
Puebla, under no restraint and in
apparent understanding with his
alleged captors.
Was Cleared of Suspicion.
Advices received in Washington
from Mexico City, November Z,
stated that Consular Agent Jenkins
had been cleared of all suspicion Of
completely in his kidnapping by Mex
lean bandits on October II. The
judge investigating the abduction,
the dispatches added, took occasion
to praise Jenkins as friend of the
Mexican people and a respected
member Of the community in which
he had lived for number of years.

ing his release, sent what was said
to have been the strongest note ever
despatched in dispute between the
two republics. Jenkins was released
on October 26 after his personal at
torney, Senor Mestre, had paid the
ransom to the bandit leader.
Effect Own Reimbur sement.
An official statement issued in
Washington on the abduction of
Jenkins said that he would have to
effect his own reimbursement of the
money paid to the Mexicans who
kidnapped him, unless he could
prove that the Mexican government
was. negligent in affording him pro-
lection. His standing as an official
of the United States government
had no bearing on the matter it was
stated.

Hanford, Cal, Nov. 16.-John w.
Jenkins, father of William O. Jen-
kins, smade public portions of let
ter received from his son at Puebla,
under date of November E, in which
the consular agent said he was be-
ing accused falsely of connivance

through official sources concerning
the reported arrest of Consular
Agent jenkins at Puebla on charges
Of having connived with the bandit
who abducted him. Officials said
report probably would reach here
early tomorrow.
The charges against Jenkins were
characterized as absurd" in view of
the recent investigation by a judge
who declared that the agent was not
mixed up in any plot. The off-hand
opinion was that it was "a measure
of retaliation" following late /dis-
closures connecting some Mexican
authorities with radical propaganda
and in which the name of the Mexi-
can consul general in New York

If you take into consideration the
fact that this visit was made about
three weeks after Harold Thorp was
indicted and sentenced, and two
days after ]. Harry Moore, the Bee

to commit arson, you will readily
see that these matters should have

day after J. Harry Moore was in

could make that call with perfect

Berlin, Nov. l6.-Germany does
not yet understand that it cannot,
unaided, find its way back from cha
os to cosmos while following the

the policy from which, since the

salvation has been expected.
Europe cannot yet understand
that its wounds cannot be healed if
Germany is to 60 down further and
further to decay.
The two continents on whose
aims and actions the fate of the
white race depends cannot yet un-
derstand that an earthquake has
loosened the hold of one chief root
of their life, namely, the right of
property, and that a deluge has en-
gulfed ancient and venerable ideals,
and that the primacy of these conti-
nents, and of the white race, will be
lost unless they are able to find a
firm and solid soil in which their
Young and living elements may take
root again and, with the clear per-
ception of an ideal in harmony with
the genius of other times, look for
ward to new heaven. /
This, it appears to me, is the prob
lem. And certainly this is felt and
comprehended in all countries by in
dividuals and perhaps by many.
But, unfortunately, it is not yet
