posed to make the Shields amend

Supporters of the reservation
claimed tonight to have sufficient
votes pledged to have it adopted to-

Senator Reed vigorously de-
nounced the British rule in Ireland.
THE results of England's treat
ment of Ireland for the past so years
cannot be painted" he said. "Half
thss people have died of starvation
or been compelled to emigrate."

Divorce Set Aside;
Decision Leaves Man
With Two Wives Now

The decree of divorce obtained by
Christian Nielsen, an employe Of
the Eggerss-O'Flyng company, in
1917, was set aside by District Judge
Sears in district court yesterday on
the ground that it was illegally pro-
cured.
This action leaves Nielsen with
two wives, for he remarked after the
divorce was granted. His wife,
Lena Nielsen, has been in the Iowa
hospital for the insane since 1906.
In his petition for divorce and an af-
fidavit supporting it, Nielsen swore
that his wife left him and that he
didn't know where she was. Insan-,
ity is not a ground for divorce in
the state or Iowa.
II didn't hardly feel I was doing
right" said Nielsen in court, "but
my wife had been in the asylum for
years and / was lonely. | needed
someone to be a mother to my two
children.
The lawyer said it would be all
right, but If it isn't l am willing to
have the decree set aside. It's all
/ can do"
Nielsen's only safe course now is
to file suit for annulment of his mar
riage to the wife with whom he is
now living.

More Bolshevism in
America Than Russia,
Says K. Of C. Lecturer

"Bolshevism and socialism arc
one and the same thing--doctrincs
of the denial of the creator" said
Peter w. Collins, Knights OF Column
bus lecturer, speaking at the Omaha
auditorium last night. =
"Bolshevism in Russia will run
itself out in two years." said Mr..
Collins. But there is more boil
shevism to the square inch in New
York and more to the square foot in
the United States, than there is to
the square mile of Russia"
Mr.. Collins closed by answering
questions put by the audience.
Strikebreakers were condemned
when a man asked if a father was
justified in serving as a strike
breaker in order to buy food for his
children. Begging would be better
than strike breaking, according to

Operators Hint at
81 Per Ton Increase
In Price of Coal

New York, March 16.-The earn
ing of labor in the anthracite coal
fields and the demand of the miners
for 90 per cent wage increase were
discussed by the subcommittee of
miners and operators meeting here
to negotiate new wage agreements
for the hard coal workers. No ac-
ton was taken.
The operators declared that the
pay now received by the miners is
equitable" and that advances grant
ed the workers since 1915 have more
than kept pace with the high cost
of living.
A. 80 per cent advance in wages
and a seven-hour day, operators as
serted, will mean an increase in the
price of hard coal of at least 81 ton.

Kapp Resigns to Ebert;
Cruiser Bolnbards Kiel
(Contirued From First Page.)

with having sent a message to
Ebert offering to act as mediator
between him and Won Hindenburg
with view to restoring constitu-
tionalism.
Won Hindenburg has written to
Dr..kapp advising him to Withdraw
from his position, Cologne dis
patches say. and has advised Presi-
dent Ebert to call for new elections.
Ebert's Plans Unknown.
Thus far, however, what the con-
stitutional president intends to do is
not known in Berlin. But the future
actions of the nationalists will prob
ably dictate his attitude. Those. who
optimistically believed Ebert might
enter into negotiations with the Ber-
lin government are disappointed to
learn today that no definite negotia-
tons are underway, though the
basis of agreement as outlined yes
terday by the Kapp factio.l seemed
to afford an opportunity for the two
contending governments to enter
into a discussion.
President Ebert's firm grip on ad-
ministrative affairs in Berlin is in
dicated by the fact that the imperial
finance minister, by his orders, has
refused to turn over the money
necessary for the payment of the
troops, demanded by the revolution
ary chancellor, and the undersecre-
taries of the various ministers, as
well as other officials, have abso-
lutely refused take their orders from
the new government. Some of them
have quit Berlin.
Capital Punishment Decreed.
Capital punishment has been de-
creed by General Won Luettwitz for
those fomenting strikes or exercis-
ing passive resistance in any vital
service. This decree was declared
to be effective after 4 o'clock this
afternoon, but it is considered ques-
tionable whether this threat will be
put into operation. With the ex-
tension of the strike and the deter
mination of the strikers, that would
mean bloodshed. ~

Chicago, March l6.-"lnstead

DR.. William ]. Hickson, widely

"About 90 per cent Of Chicago's

by men and boys who have been

IF the 'repeaters'-that is the
