Sentenced by Judge for Con-
tempt of Court-Women
Escape With Fines.

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, June 22.-Six male
members of the Chicago Board of
Education and the attorney for the
board we're given Jail sentences
ranging from one to FIVE days and
fined from $3.50 to $3.50 each for
contempt of court by Judge, Kick
ham Scanlan today. Three women
members were fined, one of them
$500 and the other, two $3.50 each.
but they escaped the jail sentence.
All furnished bonds and are at lib
erty pending an appeal.
This is the latest development in
the strenuous battle over posses
sion for Chicago schools and will
be followed by additional fights in
the courts. 1t leaves the schools
in possession of the board appoint
ed by the mayor, who was elected
both times chiefly on the school
issue, so there is room for the as
sumption that the present board
meets the approval of a majority
of the citizens.
Today's action is the result of
the ousting of DR.. Charles E. Chad
sey.. The board that was ousted
by Mayor Thampson had brought
DIR. Chadsey here from Detroit and
installed him as superintendent. To
prevent raids on the boards Of
flces, detectives were employed. to
guard the rooms, but there were
some ugly scenes at board meet
ings and elsewhere. DR.. Chadsey
never took any part in the bicker-
ings. He rendered his resignation
after being ousted and is now con-
nected with the University of Illi-
nois, where he is in charge of the
summer Session, which opened in
Urbana, Ill.,, today.
Mayor Thompson was present. in
court today when sentence was
passed upon his school board mem
bers. He refused to comment on
the action other than to remark:
"They aren't in Jail yet"
Judge Scanlan has had the case
under advisement for several
months. 1t has been pushed vigor-
ously by States Attorney Hoyne.
who was joyful over the verdict.
The technical charge was obstruct-
ing the administration of DR..
Chadsey as superintendent. strip

recommendations and literally
forcing him to resign in order TO
retain his self-respect.

Cause Their
Deaths.

Without an instant's hesitation
Mrs. Liddell went to the aid of her
husband. Neither had anything but
bare hands to fight the, enraged
beast, but Mrs. Liddel seized the
creatures horns in an effort to save
her husband. The COW then at
tackled the aged woman, tossing
her on its horns and goring her
when she fell to the ground.
Both would have been killed at
once it a neightor, Thomas Heck
tor, who livcs' across the road, had
not seen the tragedy and run to
the rescue. He beat off the cow
with club, carried the injured peo-
pie to the house and called neigh

yesterday afternoon.

'Boulogne, June 22.-The only def
mite decision reached in the allied
council at Boulegne was to make
war on the Turk nationalists and
to enforce the Versailles treaty.
The first action will be undertaken
by the Greeks, who, however, are
forbidden to pass certain line not
made public. But certainly it is lar
enough from Constantinople to pre-
vent the Greeks from entering that
city. AS compensation the Greeks
will get mandate for, or definite
annexation OF Smyrna.
Although Premier Millerand re-
fused to allow the amount fixed as
indemnity which Germany must pay
to be announced, it is certain it is
l20000OO0.000 gold marks ($25,O00,
000,000).
The Russian question was dis
cussed, but was left much up in the
air. England agreed not to take Rus
sian gold, leaving that as security
for Russia's debt to France.

QUAKE SECOND
ALTOS ANGELES
IN THREE YEARS
Disturbance Ascribed to Slip
ping of Strata in Ceologi-
cal Fault.

San Francisco, June 22-The
temblor that shattered Inglewood,
Los Angeles county, last night was
southern CALIFORNIA; second expert
ence with earth shocks within three
years. On April q, 1918, the
towns OF San Jacinto and Hemet,
in Riverside county, about 20 miles
southeast of Los Angeles, were Sc
verely dana ged in a series OF three
earthquakes. The effect of the dis
turbance was plainly felt in Los
Angeles, where plate glass windows
were broken. An earthquake af-

csrrea on December rs, 1889. and
there was extensive property dam

No earthquake has occurred in
California in recent years, how
ever, approaching the severity of the
disaster that was visited on San
Francisco on. April l8. 1906, when
the city was laid in ruins through
the combined effects of the earth
disturbance and fire.
Laymen familiar with causes of
earthquakes in this state ascribe
last nights disturbance in southern
California to slipping of the strata
in the principal geological fault ex-
tending along the coast range

northern California coast about
200 miles north of San Francisco
to the Gulf of Lower California.
This fault follows the coast line
closely for a distance of about 100
miles south of San Francisco when
it swerves inland approximately 20
miles and gradually extends fur
ther eastward, traversing Los An
geles, Riverside and San Diego
counties.

Aboard Convention Special, Pueb-
10, Colo, June 22.-The enigma of
the White House and the mystery
of McAdoo have keyed to high
pitch the interest and speculations
of the hundreds of democrats jour
neying to their national convention
at San Francisco.
Whether President Wilson is actu-
ally receptive candidate for a thirt
term and whether his son-in-law
William Gibbs McAdoo may not, de
spite his positive withdrawal, be
nominated after all, are the major
topics of discussion in the informa
club car and smoking compartment
caucuses of the delegates. AS the
days pass without any word from
the White House to dispel the wide
spread impression that the presi-
dents attitude toward the nomina-
ton is receptive one, the predic-
ton is heard with increasing fire.
quency that if Mr. Wilson really
wants the honor by the time the vot-
ing stage is reached. the convention
undoubtedly will accommodate him.
Delegates who are hoping and pray
ing that the president will thrust
aside the crown with no uncertain
gestures readily concede that the
convention might easily be stam-
pedcd to the denomination of Mr..
Wilson.
Strong for Palmer.
1--WE are, for Palmer said an
anti-administration leader from the
midwest. Cox would be accepta-
bic to us. We would be willing to
compromise on Tom Marshall or
Champ Clark and our friends east
and west are strong enough to
block the nomination of any man
we do not like" ,...
That is, you can do anything
except stop the denomination of the
PRESIDENT" | suggested.
"That's about it, I guess" he, re-
Piled. Though, of course. we
should not want to prevent his re-
nomination if he wants it. We
could win handily with Wilson. We
don't like him much, but we ad-
mire him and conceded his great
ness. Looks very much to me as
if he is willing and if that's so,
look out for Wilson stampede in
the convention
The only certainties of the situa-
ties seen by the delegates are:
The possibility of the renomina-
ton of the president will continue

of the convention unless Mr.. Will
son definitely removes himself from
the reckoning in a message to the
gathering or to one of his spokes-
men on the scene.
McAdoo Out of Race.
| McAdoo is definitely out OF it un-
less the president should eliminate
himself. In that event there would
arise strong possibility of a stam-
pede to McAdoo despite his refusal
to permit presentation of his fname
to the convention. Every scrap of
information concerning the real at
titude of the president is being
eagerly sought by the delegates and
their leaders. Senator Carter Glass
