Murdo, Jan. "A serious fire
occurred here when the explosion of
gasoline lamp at the home of Mrs.
o. e. Blanchard set fire to the house
and also burned Mrs. Blanchard sew
erly. Mrs. Blanchard, who lives
alone in her home, was working at
her sewing machine with the gasoline
lamp setting nearby. She noticed
that the lamp was leaking a little
and before she could turn off the gas
it caught fire. Mrs. Blanchard real
lied the danger and was in the act of
leaving her chair to summon help
when the lamp exploded, throwing
flaming gasoline over her clothing
and completely enveloping the room
in flames. Mrs. Blanchard, with her
clothing aflame. ran out of the house,
closing the door after her, and rolled
in the soft mud in the road.

REDS" SCORED BY
C 'Q||VAL GIBBONS
GREAT CHURCH LEADER STATES
POSITION AS CITIZEN.

Baltimore, Md, Jan. Eff mem
bers of the red organization don't
like this country, let them go home.
If they do not go, then we will have
to send them there. They came here
to become future citizens, not to be
dictators. We cannot let them be-
come dictators."
This is what Cardinal Gibbons said
in speaking about the United Amer
leans, national organization with
a membership of 100000 to combat
the activities of the radicals. The
cardinal is one of the officers of the
association which has been proceed
ing quietly for the last six months.
Other leaders are Otto H. Kahn,
Daniel Willard, H. H. Westinghouse
and DR.. David Jayne Hill.
The cardinal did not say what
plans have been made to check the
red" progress here, but it is be-
lieved that the raids in all sections
of the country last month are the re-
suit of the organization.
"The foreigners who come to our
Shores" the cardinal continued, "are
given every opportunity to earn an
honest living. Their environments
are much better here than they had
at home and the authorities give
them every assistance possible to
make them useful citizens OF this
grand country.
"The laws here are not as hard
to obey as those they had to contend
with in their former countries, but
the foreigners must remember that
the laws of this country must be
obeyed by them the same as our own
people have to obey them"

FARLEY WITH
GERMANS OVER
RATIFICATION OF PACT SET FOR
JANUARY 6.

Paris, Jan. Exchange of ratifi-
cations of the treaty of Versailles
will take place January at the Quai
d'Orsay. Baron Won Lersner, head
of the German delegation, and Paul
Dutasta, secretary of the peace con-
ference, tonight settled all points in
connection with the signature, except
that relating to naval material, which
1T is expected will be solved shortly.
The Germans will sign the proto-
col, and at the same time the allies
will hand letter to them agreeing
to reduce their demands to 100000
tons If the total available tonnage
has been overestimated, or Germany
is gravely menaced economically. In
any case; after the signature, the al
lies will get 242,000 tons of material,
and the balance based on the report
of experts who are now checking up
at Danzig, Hamburg and Bremen.
Premier Lloyd George will be
present at the ceremony, which will
be carried out without any display.
Diplomatic relations with Germany
will be resumed the following day,
when the French charge d'affaires
will go to Berlin and French consuls
will resume their posts.
Allied troops will proceed on Janu-
ary IL to the territories which must
be evacuated by the Germans, or
where plebiscites are to be held. 1t
is estimated that 100 trains will be
needed for this purpose. Ellis Lor-
ing Dresel, an American member of
the peace conference as expert on
German affairs, it is understood, will
60 to Berlin as soon as ratifications
are exchanged. He will be accom-
panied by staff. This is presumed
here to be temporary expedient un-
til diplomatic relations with the
United States are resumed. He was
appointed acting commissioner and
charge d'affaires in October.

.YANKT0|V MAN,
GIRL AND DIAMOND
DAKOTAN LOSES NOTHING AND
FRIEND GIRL GETS NEW
PAIR OF SILK STOCKINGS.

Omaha, Neb., Jan. Wv. w.
Bauchett, prosperous business man
of Yankton s. D., came to Omaha on
business. He met pretty Miss Veda
Stanfield, 521 South Twenty-fourth
street, whom he had known for years,
and together they had dinner down
town and after they went to the thea
ter Miss Stanfield excused herself
saying she would be back in a min
ute, and disappeared into the lobby.
Minutes passed and Miss Stanfield
failed to return. Finally the cur
tain was rung down on the last act
and Bauchett left the theater to hunt
up policeman. He had allowed
Miss Stanfield to wear a $4,000 dia-
mond ring of his during the evening
and he concluded she had stolen it.
Then followed a lively chase and a
comedy of errors that was rich in the
extreme. Finally, after a rush trip
to all the first class hotels, at sew
eral of which it was learned that
Miss Stanfield had "just been there"
the police were heading towards her
home when they met the young wo-
man limping along the street. She
had the diamond in her shoe and it
was hurting her.
Presently Bauchett and Miss Stan
field were together again. Miss Stan
field explained that when she left
the theater it was to go to tele-
phone to call her former husband and
break date she had with him, when
she was confronted by said ex-hus-
band. She says he just grabbed her
and literally carried her out of the
theater and took her to her home.
Arriving there she told her mother
about the ring and said she knew
Bauchett would believe she had stol-
en- it. Her mother told her she must
return the ring at once, so she start
ed out to do so, putting the ring in
her shoe for safety. Arriving at the
theater she found it closed. She then
made visits to the hotels in hopes of
finding Bauchett but was disappoint-
ed and returned home. There her
mother told her she must go out and
tramp the streets if need be until she
had restored the ring and that was
what she was doing when the police
found her The diamond had cut her
silk stocking and brushed her foot
Never mind, Vera" assured Bau-
chett ''I'll buy you a pair of stock
ings for the care you took of my ring.
The only thing we must look out for
is that my wife does not get hold
of this information

ANXIOUS MOMENT IN
AMERICAN BUSINESS
FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD RE.
FERS TO HIGH COST OF LIv.
ING AS MENACE:

Washington, D. c., Jan. 2.-Gen-
eral anxiety prevails throughout
American bus ness concerning the
continued vance il pric ,s
and RI ijustment appea. 5
imminent, the ederal reserve board
reported tonia in its review of De-
cember busine conditions. The in
ference was 81 ngly given that a re-
duction in prices is due because of a
recognized curtailment of buying
power coupled with a lack of unan-
Unity of opinions as to what the fu-
ture holds.
While retail trade shows great ac-
tivity and wholesalers and manufac-
turers were represented as unable to
supply the demand, the great growth
in business was shown to have been
in terms Of dollars and not in units
of production. High wages, further
complicated the situation, according
to the boards view. Particularly
every federal reserve district report
ed that Skilled labor was working
only sufficient days to keep going"
resulting in consequent falling off
in production.
In the face of heavy demands eau
tious manufacturers were described
as disinclined to commit themselves
far in advance. Credits have been
shortened and uncertainty as to the
expansion in trade naturally to be ex-
pected as the nation settles toward
its peace time activity. The high
cost of living was referred to as an
"unquestionable menace"

Mrs. Dietrich Is highly efficient in the
unusual role, according to William 9.

that he had misgivings at first as to
the advisability Of securing a woman
for the position, as he thought 1t would
be too difficult. However, I soon
