State Society Will
Be Represented at
Chicago Conference

That the work of the division
of childen's aid of the Nebraska
Humane society is attracting at
tention was evidenced last week
when the secretary, w. w. Bradley,
received an invitation to send a del
egate to the regional conference to
be held in Chicago February 9 and
10, under the auspices of the United
States children's bureau of Wash
ington, D. c., for the discussion of
legislation for the protection of
children born out of wedlock.
Miss Guenn P. GODDARD will repre-
sent the society at this conference,
which is to be attended by 80 men
land women who are in close touch
with the problem from the social
or legal side. A similar conference
is to be held if New York Febru-
ary 10 and II.
At these meetings every phase OF
the question will be discussed and
special points of legislation con-
sidered. Following this a special
committee of six authorities on this
problem will be appointed to take
the deliberations and conclusions
of the conference under considera-
ton and draft a final form of
standards" for the use of peole
in the various states concerned with
securing legislation in the interest
of illegitimate children.
An effort will also be made to
secure the interest of a national
conference on legislation, to the end
that model law" may be framed
in such body, emb bodying a con-
sensus of the best thought and ex-
perience.

TOWN ALL READY
FOR BIG DANCE
and TRIMMINGS
But State Agents Go'
Word and Swooped
Down on Stores

Lincoln, Jan. 3l.-(Special.)-G
Hyers, chief of the law enforcement
division, has received report of how
one woman kept a small Nebraska
town supplied with contraband
liquor through drug stores and
by direct sales and enlivened the
dances held there emi-monthly with
much forbidden wine.
Complaint came from c. D.
Richie, county attorney at McCook,
to Chief Hyers less than week ago
of too much hilarity observed in the
little town of Danbury at dance on
January II. Another such dance was
planned for January 81, he declared,
and the town was openly planning on
having a second ~"debauch" at that
time.
Federal Agent Larson and a state
agent made an investigation, called
at the drug stores, looked into some
cellars, and then arrested woman.
Her home was searched and the Of
hcers found sixty gallons of home
made wine with many times the al
loted one-half Of per cent of alco-
holic content.
According to the report reaching
Hyers the woman was fined $500.

Convention Takes
Definite Stand on
Capital Punishment
rows, Correspondent

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 3l.-(Special)
The Nebraska constitutional con-
vention apparently has taken a
definite stand to refuse to knock out
the death penalty from the constitu.
ton. The assembly, by vote OF
three to one, Saturday morning,
voted down a motion by Delegate
Flansburg to reverse the committee
on miscellaneous subjects in its re-
port recommending the indefinite
postponement of two measures
abolishing capital punishment. One
of these was Flansburg's own pro-
posal No. 307, and the other, No
1873, by Carothers.
Mr.. Flansburg declared that the
public mind is dnduly prejudiced
just now against doing away with
capital punishment, because the peo-
pie of Nebraska feel outraged over
the abuse of clemency shown to con.
victs in the excessive number OF
pardons, paroles and furlongs is.
sued.
Chairman Epperson of the com.
mittee opposed Flansburg's motion
to put the two proposals on genera
file. The committee, found he, said
that a number of states which fegis
lated against capital punishment
found it. necessary later to restore
it, and he thought Nebraska shoule
not try such an experiment, es
pecially by putting it in the con
stitution.
After working for just an houl
Saturday morning the convention
adjourned without advancing any
proposals which were on the cal
endar. The assembly meets agail

Woman Sustained in Suit
AGAINST Father of Child

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 31.-(Special.)
"A judgment for damages obtained
in the Colfax county district court
by Mrs. Anna Malena, who brought
civil suit for damages against Ed
ward Cinfel. farmer, whom she
charged with being the father of her
child, was sustained by the Ne
braska, supreme court Saturday.
The girl worked for the farmer,
who had a wife and children, from
March to November, 1913, while she
was unmarried and 10 years of age.
Her charges that he took Liberties
with her were corroborated by the
hired hand, according to the high
courts opinion.
Cinfel pleaded the statute of limit
ations. The girl says she married
Malena the following December and
that the child was born in August of
the following year.
The high bench says that a pre-
sumption of legitimacy on account
of the marriage had been held re-
buttable by the Nebraska courts.

Wife Believes Nebraska "Wal.

North Platte, Neb., Jan. 81
-(Special.)-A light still burns in
the window and heavy-eyed wom-
an is constantly on the watch, ex-
pectantly awaiting the return of her
husband whom she steadfastly
maintains will return and straighten
out his tangled business affairs for
which claims have been filed total

Victims OF the high financing OF
Clyde NJ. Trotter, president of the
North Platte Chamber of Com
merce. farmer and automobile
dealer, who disappeared for the
land of nowhere" after writing to
friends urging them to save what
they could from the wreck" are
not so optimistic.
Excitement Gains Down.
Creditors have employed one of
the largest private detective agen-
cieS inthe country to conduct a
search for the missing man who is
believed to be en- route either to
South America or Mexico. Creditors
and friends refuse to talk on the
condition of Trottcr's affairs and
constant stream of claims, ranging
from few dollars to thousands,
being filed in the county clerks Of
fee. is the cnly evidence of the un-
tangling of the many questionable
deals in the sale OF motor cars.
Friends of the '"Wallingford of
Nebraska" insist that his business
affairs are not in as tangled a con-
sdition as his creditors intimate, and
that many of the mortgages on file
in the county clerks Office have been
paid and should be released. This is
denied by the county clerk.
The excitement that prevailed
when news of Trotter's disappear
aHcc first became known, has
calmed down. Chamber of Com
mcice members are discussing the
proper man to be his successor as
president. A majority of the cred
itors have given up hope that he
will be apprehended, and are adjust
ing their affairs to absorb their
losses.
Scout "Woman" Rlmor.
Only the wife, to whom he has
been married~for IL years, is keep
ing her lonely vigil. confident that
he will return to again take up his
position Of respect in the social and
business activities of North Platte
Persistent rumors that woman
employed in an Omaha hotel was
responsible for the downfall of the
ardent church worker Of North
Platte are hotly denied by the wife
and close business associates. The
frequent visits to Omaha made by
Trotter recently, they say, were
made in an cndeavor to prevent the
crash in his business affairs.
