OLD COAT GOOD ENOUGH
French Premier VIII Wear One
With Bullet Holes in 1t.

Paris, April 2.-"While clothes are
so expensive 1 am not going to indulge
in the luxury of new overcoat just
because a fool shot a few holes in my
old coat" Premier Clemenceau is re-
ported to have said.
The Tigers jacket and overcoat
both showing bullet holes, were pieces
of evidence that had to be produced at
the trial of his would-be murderer.
Emile Coffin. NJ. Clemeneeau, how
ever, happens to be particularly fond
of those garments and he4 asked M.
Ignace, under secretary of state for
war, to let him have them back quick
Iy. NJ. Ignace replied in tones of gem
tie reproof that the articles were in
the hands of the judiciary and that
under the rules, it would be quite i'm
possible to part with them until the
case was past the appeal stage. Then
NJ Clemenceau, who, is an enemy of
red tape, did what in French is de-
scribed as an "efficacious act" the
nature of which is not specified but
may be surinised. His garments came
back the same day.
The French are a thrifty race and
expert clothes members. The bullet
holes can be stopped" SO as to defy
detection and the coat will be as good
as ever. This is NJ. Clemenceau' s
opinion.

proposition when less courageous
members have argued that this was a
bad wear in which to start the ball
rolling owing to the many demands

There is not one woman connected

tendency to contract, rather than to
expand. This is contrary to the idea
of many of the club members who
are in favor of throwing down the

respecting woman who feels she
needs what the Woman's club has to
offer. and is willing in turn, to cons
tribute the best of which she herself
is capable.
The Woman's club of Omaha has a
membership of 1900 women. In
other cities the same idea exists in
regard to expansion. The time has
passed when exclusiveness is popular.

A ROBBERY IN KANSAS
Officer and Eight Other Men Held Up
at Mulberry.

Mulberry, Kan, April George
Prell, a special officer of other Kansas
City Southern, and eight other men,
one an invalid, were robbed in the
Southern depot at Burgess. Mo, ad-
joining Mulberry, early today. A man
wearing a soldiers uniform and seven
other men were the bandits. Prell
had been watching for box car rob
bers.
Shortly before time for passenger
train several men outside the depot
asked Prell to open the depot and let
them in out of the cold. They want
into the depot and a fire was built.
Three young men suddenly entered
and left. They soon returned and
three other men came with them.
Then the man in uniform and another
man stepped in and the entire band
drew guns and demanded that the
men in the depot hold up their hands.
When the searchers reached Prell and
found that he was an officer, they
knocked him down and beat him bru-
tally.
From a Japanese trained animal
show proprietor the robbers got $50.
They obtained small sums from other
victims and then entered a motor car
and escaped.

MAY BE DEMO SPLIT
League of Nations May Be the Cause
of 1t All,

Chicago, April Possibility of a
split in the Democratic party over the
league of nations was forecast among
political leaders today as the result of
an address yesterday before the As
ISOLATION of Commerce by Senator
James A. Reed.
Reed characterized the league
agreement as a "Bl fish document"
and added "if we had sent Elihu Root,
Henry Cabot Lodge and Senator Knox

MyRA WILLIAMs FARRELL

The big question in woman circles
today, now that the city election is out
of the way, is, who will head the
Woman's club for the coming year.
Up until the first of this week it
seemed to be a foregone conclusion
that Mrs w. A. McCarter would sue

est woman's organization in Topeka
Now there has arisen Il question as
to whether it would not be danger
Gus precedent to establish, for all
presidents might not prove as capable
as Mrs. McCarter has proven herself
to be, this last year, as well as at pre-
Vious times when she has headed the
club. Yet should the recognition of
her value to the club take the form
of a second term, it might be embar-
raising in the future. when not to fol-
low the precedent, would cause hurt
feeling and perhaps dissension.
The strongest plea urged by those
who are warmly advocating re-elec-

New Powdered Coal Process
for Morris and Company,

Announcement was made today
by Morris and company that its new
plant for the use OF powdered coal
will be in operation in the course OF
two or three months.
Hundreds OF thousands OF dollars
have been spent at the packing plants
here in the past year, according TO
superintenden,s OF the two big com
panies. II is estimated that the pow
dered coal plant installed BY Morris
and Company. which Is The most
modern money can buy, costs abou,
$l50m alone.
Wilson and Company has also been
spending large sums on its plant. A
complete new lard refinery has JUS,
been installed at a cost of $4,000. A
number Of large vats have been put
in at cost OF $1,000. Improve
ments in the plant have cost alto
gether about $50OO0.
II is probable tha. all improve
