Sir Horace Plunkett
Not Dead, as Reported
By London Newspaper

Many friends of Sir Horace PUNK
ett, Irish statesman, and we'll known
property owner of Omaha and Ne
braska. who recently arrived in New
York for visit to the United States,
were surprised yesterday when they
were shown a copy of the London
Times of January |, containing a
short notice from New York City of
his death. The item from New York
stated that the famous Irishman had
died in sanitarium at Battle Creek,
Mich, where he was undergoing
treatment for insomnia. ,..
Another column of the paper was
devoted t. an obituary of Sir Horace.
A query to The Associated Press,
sent by The Bee, yesterday afternoon
brought back all answer that Sir
Horace was still confined to his bed
in the Battle Creek institution and
that he was very much alive.
Conrad Young, manager of the
Plunkett interests in Nebraska, left
Omaha Wednesday for Battle Creek
in response to letter from Sir Hor-
ace, who expects to visit this section
as soon as ne RECEIVERS sufficiently to
stand the srrain of travelling.
The only explanation of the error
of the report of his death as reported
in the London Times is that mis-
take was made in transmitting the
message announcing his arrival at
Battle Creek for treatment.

legislation, said by many to be revo-

pleted in Kansas when the legisla-
ture enacted bill establishing in the
state court of industrial relations
having jurisdiction over essential in
dustries invested with public inter-
est. The bill, which was signed by
Gov. H. J. Allen, affects food, cloth
ing, fuel and transportation, pro-
hibits strikes or lockouts in these in
dustries and provides severe penal
ties for conspiracy tq promote
strikes or to interfere with produc-
ton. 1t also provides that the court
can fix wages and settle industrial
disputes in these industries and serve
as court of arbitration to consider
disputes in other industries not
listed as essential. 1t was passed by
large majorities in both houses.
The legislation is the outgrowth OF
the recent nationwide strike of soft
coal miners, which caused the mines
in Kansas to be placed under state
receivership and operated with vol
