GULL APPLES SELLING
$1OO TON NEW JERSEY

According to A. Freeman Mason,
formerly of Hood River, but now in
charge of the Experiment Station in
New Jersey, who was here last week
visiting friends, apples are being sold
to mincemeat factories in that state
for 500 a ton. The crop is very light
in the east, and many farmers are
loading the apples loose in box cars
and shipping them to the mincemeat
factories. This includes all grades,
from the best to the culls, just as they
come from the orchard. without pack
ing or sorting.
Mr.. Freeman says he cannot under
stand the talk of comparatively low
prices and limited demand in the east,
or why the buyers are so cautious
about bidding for the fruit, as the
eastern markets must depend upon the
west this year for their apples. The
high prices being paid there by the
Gamers and mincemeat factories is an
indication that western box apples
should meet with a ready sale at good
Drices

yol a Bart, was
WI bohe Of con-

France and England. Spain's
claim was based on the voyage
Of De Soto up the Mississippi
river. France, through the ex-
plorations Of La Sale from the
north and the early entry of
French priests from Canada,
considered this territory theirs.
AS for England, she rested her
claims on the discovery of North
America by the Cabots, and in
the charter granted to Virginia
included all the country lying
to the West.
The French were the first to
get a foothold In Ohio, but the
English pioneers, who shortly
began to drift westward, firm
ly established their settlements
In the fertile Ohio valley. Af-
ter a long period of warfare,
in which the Indians played a
leading part, the Northwest Ter
ritory was finally ceded to the
United States by the Treaty Of
Independence In 1888. And Vir-
ginia and other states, which
had laid claim to portions of |
this region turned over their !
rights to the federal govern
ment.
The government Of the North |
west Territory was formally
created by the ordinance of |
1887. People from the East mi
grated into this territory in
such numbers that by 1903 Ohio +.
was taken into the Union as the I

the IrOquOis word O-hee-yo,
meaning beautiful river" It
was first applied by the Indl-
ans of the Five Nations to what
we now call the Allegheny riv- I
er, one Of the chief tributaries
of the Ohio. Gradually the
name came to include the whole
river, sometimes even being ap-
piled to the Mississippi. Later
1t was confined to the river be-

Six Bandits Get
$4,000 in Robbery
0fChicago Bank
Police Capture Pair After
Chase in Which Robbers
Toss Money in Street
$4,000 Recovered.

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, July o.-Six bandits in a
powerful touring car at the noon
hour today swooped down on the
Clearing State bank at Sixty-tlsird
and Central avenue. held up three
employees and escaped with approx
rnately $4,000 in cash and securities.
Within two hours the bandit car
was sighted in Lemont, III. Fifteen
minutes later Martin (Big Six)
Sicks, declared to have been leader
OF the gang, and Mike Geary, motor
ious police character, were under ar
rest. More than $4,000 in currency
was found in Sicks' machine.
AS the bandit car reached the out
skirts OF Lemont, the occupants dis
covered the police in close pursuit.
In an attempt to rid themselves Of
the loot, they tossed punches of bills
to right and left. Much of this fell
into the hands of children playing
by the roadside, who promptly took
ii to their parents.
The bandits swerved into the Le-
mont business district, leaped from
the machine and ran in several direc-
tions. Sicks and Geary sought a
hiding place under a sidewalk, but
were dragged forth and hustled back
to Chicago.
The missing loot, except that part
picked up by children, is believed to
be in possession of the four bandits
who escaped.

Stokes Virtually
Ends Family Feud
By Latest Action
Aged Millionaire, Plaintiff in
Divorce Against Young Wife,
Relinquishes Rights in
Custody of Children

New York, July o.-W. E. D.
Stokes virtually brought to an end
one OF the most bitter family feuds
which has been known here for years
today when he voluntarily offered to
relinquish his rights in the fight Tor
the custody of his two beautiful chill
dren.
In his brief filed with Supreme
Court Justice Finch, upon which the
result OF the divorce litigation will
be determined, Mr.. Stokes, through
his attorneys, says that whatever the
outcome of the suit, he is willing that
the youngsters remain with his
wife's mother. This practically con-
cedes the custody to Mrs. Stokes.
A plea that Mr.. Stokes may be
allowed the privilege OF visiting the
children to such an extent as will
enable him to keep in touch with
them and care for their physical and
mental welfare" is contained in the
document.
Friends and intimates of the club
man, hotel proprietor and millionaire
declare that he will never again at
tempt to settle a difference with any
woman in court.
Counsel for Mrs. Stokes declared
that the whole action appeared to
him to be an attempt to deprive her
of her rightful share of the Stokes
millions.
The brief filed for Mrs. Stokes
bitterly assailed her husband for at
tacking her character.

J. H. Green Drops
Dead at Chicago
White Sox Park
Excitement Caused by Ninth.
Inning Rally Too Much
For Omaha Clothing
...t Merchant.

Chicago, July 9.-The roar OF 25,-
600 fans which greeted BIB" Falk
of the White Sox, when he trotted
across the plate in the frenzied ninth
inning of today's 16-inning contest
between Chicago and New York at
Comiskey park was the funeral dirge
for J. H. Green of Omaha, owner
of the J. H. Green clothing store.
With thousands of. others, Green
had risen to his feet from the begin
ming of the Sox rally in the seventh
inning, cheering on the Chicagoans
when, with the score of 8 to 0 against
them, they put over three runs at
the beginning of the squirt that gave
them the final victory.
But Green did not live to see his
team win. The heat and the excite
ment proved too great, and as Earl
Sheeley's tying run swept over the
plate in the ninth inning with two
men out, he collapsed and fell to the
floor of the grandstand. 1t was not
until the end of the inning that those
about him noticed the huddled figure
beneath the seat he had occupied.
Mrs. Green, wife of the clothing
merchant, who is at her home in the
Dwight apartments, Thirty-second
street and Poppleton avenue, was
prostrated following receipt of
telegram from the Chicago chief of
police informing her of the death.
Identification was made by papers
and cards found in Mr.. Green's
clothing. Death was due to heat
disease, according to Chicago po-
lice.
Mr.. Green attended the Carpen-
tier Dempsey fight July 2 at Jersey
City and was returning to Omaha.
He had been a resident of Omaha
for five years, coming here from
Kansas City, Mo-, where he had
conducted a string of chain stores.
He was we'll known in Kansas City
and throughout Missouri, as we'll as
in Omaha.
Besides his wife, Mr.. Green is
survived by two sons, Lawrence,
who has just completed seven-year
law course at Harvard, where he
graduated with high honors, receiv-
ing the magma cum lauad',' and
Howard. senior at Missouri univer-
sity. Lawrence, who was in the
east. is on his way to Chicago, fol-
lowing news of his fathers death.

the whole matter is one OF termin-
ology. 1t is admitted that there
are no official negotiations with
Washington, although there is an
unmistakable suggestion to Wash
ington emanating from Britain, that
President Harding should take the
initiative in calling Pacific con-
ference for the purpose of discuss
ing the Anglo japanese alliance and
the matter of naval ornaments.
How far that suggestion has got
ten beneath the skin of the Amer
lean State department is a subject
of speculation in Downing street and
il is conjectured that the State de-
partment prefers to ignore it:
Negotiations Under Way.
That some form of negotiations
is going on is clear, not only from
Premier Lloyd-George's censored
statement in the house of commons,
but also in the fact of the London
newspapers acceptance of the fact
As an instance of the latter, the
Daily Chronicle says:
Great hopes are entertained for
a frank discussion among the Pa
cihc powers, proposals for which are
now under consideration at Washing
ton. The view taken at the British
empire conference was that the set
tied friendship of Japan with the
British empire should be harmonized
with free development of China and
close cooperation with all. The
British representatives desire that
this should be observed with the
United States"
The Daily Mail, in a forecast of
Premier Lloyd-George's statement
next Monday, says:
