KRUGER
DRAFT -EvADER
IS SURROUNDED
Fourth Of Brothers Said to Be
At Bay in Wisconsin Swamp
And Hemmed in BY
Posse.

Withec, Wis, May IA large
posse, aided by bloodhounds, today
enveloped swamp near here, in
search of Louis Kruger, for 18
months fugitive from justice on a
charge of military draft evasion.
Brought to bay last night at the
home of his mother, Mrs. Louise
Kruger, the man escaped by leap
ing through a window amid a fusi1-
lade of bullets from possemen and
took refuge in the swamp nearby.
A Gordon of deputies was thrown
about the swamp Immediately and it
is believed he is still within the
circle of deputies. "
Today's activity recalls the "bat-
tie of Kruger farm in September,
1918, when Harry Jensen, station
agent at Owen, was killed and four
other possemen wounded, and which
brought life sentences for Frank and
Leslie Kruger, brother of Louis.
The two brothers are now serving
their sentences in Waupun prison.
The fight at the Kruger farm in
1918 was precipitated when United
States deputy marshals sought to
arrest the four Kruger boys as
draft evaders. The fight lasted some
time, Mrs. Kruger finally surren-
dering, Leslie and Ennis, two other
brothers, escaping. Ennis was killed
a few days later by federal agent
and Leslie was caught several
months afterward in Minnesota.

SALE OF FLOWERS
BRINGS $4,000 TO
CHURCH SOCIETY
Christ Child Benefit Ends Only
When Available Bios .
SONS Are Sold.

Hundreds of pretty young wo-
men, located at strategic points
throughout the downtown district,
and willing to put lovely posey in
anybody's buttonhale for anything
from lowly nickel to a thousand
dollars, yesterday collected a total
of $4,000 for the Christ Child So
ciety of Omaha.
SO successful was the campaign
OF the young women to raise funds
that hours before the start of the
big May Day parade $4,000 flowers
of many kinds and colors, includ-
ing shipment of 10000 from Chi
cago, were sold out. The supply Of
every dealer in Omaha and Council
Bluffs was exhausted. Officials of
the society considered chartering an
airplane to obtain more flowers
from Lincoln, but the plan was
abandoned when it was4found that
practically every plane in the city
was planning to take part in the
May Day demonstration.
No person who ventured into the
downtown district was free from
the onslaughts of the young wo-
men, and, what is more, no one
wanted to be. Thousands bought
the flowers with a smile and al,
eagerness seldom equalled in the
city. The first flowers were bought
BY Chatham Redick, small daughter
CT Mrs. O. c. Redick, and Hayden
Storz. for which they paid a price
of SIS. The smallest flower, which
brought the highest price recorded,
was a sweetheart rosebud sold to

PUBLISHER URGES
RESTRICTIONS ON
USEOF NEWS PRINT
No Remedy for Paper Shortage
Left to individuals,
Munsey Says.

Washington, May 1.-Govern-
ment restrictions on consumption
of news print paper were urged be-
fore senate investigating commit
tee today by Frank A. Munsey of
New York, publisher of five daily
newspapers and three magazines.
Mr.. Munsey declared that if the
ratio of consumption continued for
the next Is years at the rate it had
ir the past quarter of a century,
there would be no wood pulp forests
left in the world.
The witness. said that even now
the nation must look forward to
the time when daily newspapers
will be selling for 5 and even 10
cents.
In urging government restric-
tions, Mr.. Munsey said there was
no possible remedy left TO individ-
ual publishers.
Cutting the size Of newspapers
would not ,matefially@ reduce reve,,
nues, Mr.. Munsey asserted, and
would protect the forests.
One remedy suggested by Mr..
Munsey was for the government to
obtain control of all forests by con-
stitutional amendment and appor-
ton the present timber growth for
paper making until new forests
could be grown.
William Randolph Hearst of New
York submitted letter setting
forth his views on the news print
situation. He advocated 20 or Is
per cent reduction in the use of
print paper by all publishers and the
doubling Of circulation and adyertis-
ing rates. This, he said, would re-
strict circulation and advertising
without affecting revenue.

Loose Brakes Permit Car to
Slip From Aspenwalt Ferry
-Boatman ReSCues
Occupant.

Auburn, Neb., May 1.-(Special.)
Seymour Noah, who runs the As
pinwall ferry across the. Missouri
river in the southeast part of Ne
maha county, yesterday saved the
life of a Missouri woman, and he
is anxious to learn her name.
A party of Atchison county, Mis-
souri,, residents, early in the morn
ing crossed the ferry in big tour
ing car to the Nebraska side and
after visiting a few hours started on
the return trip. They drove tffeir
car onto the ferry boat, but failed
to tell the ferryman that the brakes
were not in working order. Two
women remained seated in, the ma
chine. A heavy wind was blowing
at the time and when the boat got
out into the middle of the river,
where the channel was deepest, the
high, choppy waves caused the auto
mobile to move backward and, for
ward on the deck with great mo-
mentum. One of the women
jumped from the auto, but the other
remained seated therein. Suddenly
the car was propelled forward with
great force by an unusually high
wave and the car crushed through
the guard chain in the front of the
boat and went into the river with
the woman.
She screamed. Her husband, sta
toned on one side of the boat, and
the ferrynan on the other, looked
for her when she would come up. She
rose alongside the boat and the fer
ryman was able to grasp her by
the hair and drag her aboard.
He landed his passengers safely,
but the big car is at the bottom OF
the river. In the excitement, when
he had landed his passengers on the
Missouri shore, he forgot to get
their names.

MUCHHERALDED
MAY DAY RIOTS
FAIL TO SHOW UP
Officials Declare Executioner,
Afraid to Commit Outrages
After Recent Warnings.

Chlcago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wir~
Washington, May l.-Attorney
General Palmer's much heralded
May day terrorism did not MATERIAL
lze. 1t either took to its heels when
exposed or was straw man.
Department of Justice officials in-
sist that it was real menace against
lives OF prominent men all over the
country, but that the scheduled exe-'
cutioners feared TO show their heads
when the country had been warned.
Whatever may have been the case.
May day passed TRANQUILITY through
out the nation. According to reports
reaching the Department of Justice,
there were no bombs thrown. no
lists of dead or MANNED, no general
industrial uprisings and few arrests.
Up to late hour, only one red Of
fender had been reported taken by
government agents and his offense
was the distribution of radical litera-
ture.
Attorney General Palmer, who
uttered the warning against red
plots against the lives of officials
several days ago, had no comment
to make, but his aids in the depart
ment expressed qualification that ex-
posure of the plans of the reds had
been effective in smothering the
threatened outrages. In some quar-
tiers in Washington the attorney
generals warning was regarded as
"hysterical.' seeing red" demon
siration. Some of Mr.. Palmer's po-
i,tlcal opponents said it was a po-
litical play. Mr.. Palmer said a few
days ago that his course would be
criticised in this manner and made
il emphatic that he did not care. He
thought it his duty, in view of re-
ports that had come TO the Depart
nfent of Justice. to utter the warn.

Omaha's May Day Americaniza-

an eloquent demonstration that. the

viewing stand in front Of the city
hall and thousands of spectators
cheered as the marchers passed by.
Event Is Not Marred.
| There were no sinister occurren-
ces to mar the success of the event.
A feeling of apprehension existed in
minds of some Omhans that May
Day outbreaks of the old world
might find expression here. There
were few incidents which were sig
nlhcant but not serious. Mayor
Smitf; was importuned by some to
cancel the parade because of fear
that red" outbreaks might occur,
but the mayor secuted even the. sug-
gestion of such action.
The police took into custody lake
Garfinkle, 20 years old, 1902 North
twentieth street, upon alleged evil
dence that he had discouraged
others from marching in the parade.
Garhnkle was released by Captain

would march in the parade, carving
a flag at the side of Police Sergeant
Lyman Wheeler.

BY ARTHUR SEARS HENN1NG.

Washington, May l.-(Special.)
While Germany has perfected an
all-metal airplane that renders all
other types of construction obso-
lete, Great Britain, it became known
here today, has completed mum.
Der of giant flying engines of war
capable of destroying battleships
with aerial torpedoes.
This revolutionary development
giving an Illuminating glimpse OF
the warfare of the future, has been
known, it transpires, to the army
air service for some time. A con-
hdential report has been received
from an American attache abroad
giving the details of series of sue
cessful tests of the new planes and
torpedoes in the destruction of naval
craft.
America Far Behind.
These are two illustrations of the
extent to which America has been
outdistanced since the end Of tie
war in the development of aircraft.
Air service officials are convinced
that the lost ground can be re-
covered only by a decision on the
part of congress to tackle the prob
lem Of air navigation on the same
scale as have European nations.
One q the chief arguments for
the creation of an aviation depart
ment having control Of military and
naval as we'll as commercial aero
nautics is that aerial warfare of the
future makes a distinct aviation arm,
Of the nations forces necessity.
Air Force Second Defense.
"The navy is and will continue to
be as far as we can now foresee our
first line of defense" said Gen. Will
liam Mitchell, director Of military
aeronautics today. "But instead OF
the army the air forces have become
our second line of defense, as re-
suit of the development of planes
capable of sinking battleships. II
our first line of defense should be
pierced by the defeat Of our navy
we would fall back on the second
line, our air forces, which would be
depended upon to play havoc with
the enemy navy. Behind the air
forces we would have the third line
of defense, our army.
ITO develop and maintain the air
forces as the second line of defense
