|. ". ". HOLD Up
WORLD WAR VETS
FOUR RELIEVED OF NEARLY ALL
THEIR FUNDS-ONE WOUND
ED BY BLOW OVER HEAD.

Sioux City, July 23.-Four har-
vest hands, all veterans of the world
war, appeared at police headquarters
and related a story to the police
about having been "highjacked"
near Emerson, Neb., and relieved of
nearly all their funds. B. e. Bailey
of Peoria, ILL.,, sustained severe
scalp wound as the result of the at
tack of one of the "highjackers. He
was given first aid treatment In the
police station.
According to the men, they had
boarded a freight train at Emerson,
attempting to make Sioux City be-
fore daybreak. Just as the freight
train pulled out" of Emerson. two
men boarded the same car. When
the train was about one mile east of
Emerson, one of them drew a re-
volver and commanded the four
men to put 'em up"
According to Bailey, the high
jackers" backed them up against the
side of the box car and began
searching each one. Bailey asserted
that the two men seemed to be
frightened. When Bailey refused to
be searched one of the "highjackers''
struck him a blow with the butt OF
the revolver. William Buttram of
Peoria was the heaviest loser; a
travellers check for $50 was taken
from his person. When the train ap-
nroached n prada and sloWpd down
the two men jumped from the box
car.
Bailey said the two men asked
the former service men whether they
were holding l. w. w. cards. When
the four men replied they did not,
Bailey declares one of the "highjack-
ers' Immediately drew his revolver.
All four of the veterans declare the
bad men were wobblies.

DEATH UNEARTHs
HIS DUAL LIFE
ARTHUR IRWIN, VETERAN BALI
PLAYER AND SCOUT, LEFT
TWO WIDOWS AND FAM
HES.

New York, July 23.-Two widows
and two families today mourned the
loss of a husband and father in Ar
thur Irwin, veteran player, manager
and baseball scout.
Irwin, told by physicians after an
operation that he had only a few
days to live, is thought to have COM
mitted last week by jumping off a
steamer on his way to Boston.
Investigation into his disappear
ance led to the discovery that he had
two families, one in New York and
the other in Boston.
His New York family consisted of
a wife and a 24-year-old married
son, F. Harold Irwin. The Boston
family numbered a wife, a 37-year-
old son, Arthur Herbert Irwin, two
daughters and nine grandchildren
Neither wife knew of the others
existence and both maintained that
he had been a devoted father and
husband
The New York widow was slow
to believe the revelations. She said
that in the 81 years he had never
been away from home more than "a
few days at a time when he would
make trips to look at young ball
players on college teams and in the
minor leagues.
Both widows asserted that their
husband wanted to die in their arms.
The Boston widow pointed to the
fact that Irwin went first to his New
York family, divided his personal
possessions among them and started
for Boston to be with her, when he
was overcome with pain on the
steamer and jumped overheard.
The New York widow says that Ir-
win left her to bid goodbye 10
friends in Boston and was going to
return to her.

be boys, but the value of some OF
the articles taken indicate that men
may be implicated in the theft.

PACIFIC QUESTION
UNDER discussion
URGED THAT A CONFERENCE BE
HELD IN LONDON TO THRESH
OUT PROBLEMS.

London. July ga conference to
thresh out Pacific problems should
be arranged Immediately, Premier
M. w. Hughes of Australia told the
United Press in exclusive inter-
view here today. He urged that a
meeting be held in London within
three weeks. Japan's need for room
for expansion must be recognized
fully at this conference to assure it
success, he declared There can be
no disarmament until the need for
armament no longer exists, Hughes
said. From this it follows that until
vital problems of the Pacific have
been settled by agreement between
the three great naval powers disarm-
mament or limitation or armaments
is impossible.

something unusual about one of the
onions, and investigation revealed
that 1t was wearing an 1S-karat gold
rim, neatly encircling the stalk near
the base. Miss KaIbusch identified
1t as the one lost by her aunt. Ap-
parently the ring had been carried
out with fertilizer for the garden
and worked into the soil, where it
remained until the onion stalk grew
up through the loop, bringing it to
light.

Better English Week"

Better English Week" has become
an institution in all American schools
The educators have realized that in
order to develop better taste in
the use of English, special attention
must be concentrated upon the i'm
portance Of this matter among the
pupils in the schools, who are going
through the process of acquiring their
language habits. If the pupils, in
their choice of words and in their
style of expressing their thoughts,
can be made to develop feeling for
the apt term and the expressive
phrase during school age, and to be
constantly watchful in their written
and spoken language, to use pure
and correct English, it would become
second nature to do so in later years.
There is marked necessity for
stressing this movement because the
use of English in our everyday
American life is exceedingly sloven
ly and careless. Few, even among
those Of whom more could rightfully
be expected, show any care in fo1mu-
lating their thoughts in language that
is at the same time correct and
pleasing.
It is said that a mans taste and
personal habits may be judged by
his personal appearance. This is to
some extent true. but it is absolutely
true that mans habits of thought
and the characteristics of his inner
life do find expression in the manner
of his speech. He is as he talks: the
language is the mirror of his inner
life.
American manhood and womanhood
will, in turn, be influenced for the
good by diligent, Conscientious, and
ever watchful attention to the nature
and style of speech. Better English
Week" has been inaugurated and is
observed in order to obtain these re-
suits, and where it is earnestly OBJ
served it cannot fail to advance the
cause of Better English in the schools
and as far as the school influence
reaches.
The above is an original theme on
"Better English Week" written by
Rolf Ristad, President of the Senior
Glass.
