Make Him More Love.
able, Fights for Life.

Cleveland, O., June 28.-Mrs. Eva
Catherine Kaber, charged with hav-
ing plotted the assassination OF her
husband, Daniel F. Kaber, wealthy
Lakewood (O.) publisher, was for
mally placed on trial this morning
She is under indictment for first de-
gree murder which carries the death
penalty.
Mrs: Kaber appeared unconccrned
as she entered the crowded court
room and seemed disinterested in the
trial.
The corridors of the court house
were filled and the crowd in front
of the building had increased to more
than 1000 persons before Mrs.
Kaber appeared.
Attorneys for the defcndan, vigor-
ously protested against the prospect
of women being placed on the jury
and Immediately submitted a motion
to annul a special panel of AZ tales
men because FIVE women were in
cluded. Judge Bernon promptly
overruled the motion on the ground
that the state constitution did not
bar women jurors.
May Delay Getting Judy.
Doubt was expressed whether a
jury would be selected before the
end of the week.
When the trial opened attorneys
for Mrs. Kaber were prepared to
ask for a continuance. Failing in
this, it was indicated, a plea OF
temporary insanity would be entered,
which the state announced would be
vigorously opposed.
Mrs. Kaber is the first Of six per-
sons under Indictment for Kaber's
murder to'be tried. Ife others are
Mrs. Mary Brickel, her mother;
Marian McArdle, Mrs. Kaber's
daughter, and three former servants.
kaber, an invalid, was stabbed ~
times while asleep in his Lakewood
home July 1S, 1919. At the coroner's
inquest Mrs. Kaber was practically
accused of the crime, but for want of
evidence was dismissed. Through e.
forts of Moses Kaber, father of the
dead man, the quest for solution
was continued.
One Still at Large.
Four weeks ago Mrs. Brickel broke
down and issued statement im7ll-
eating Mrs. kaber. The arrest Of
the latter and Mrs. McArdle in New
York followed.
Salvatore Gala. also indicted for
completely in the murder, and now
held here, confessed following his ar
rest that he and Vittorio Pisselli had
been engaged by Mrs. Kaber to do
away with the old man." They were
to have been paid $4,000 each, but
have never received the money. Gala
said. Pisselli has been indicted, but
is still at large.

Volcano of Stromboli Goes
On Rampage; People Leave

Rome, June 28.-The volcano OF
Stromboli, situated on the island of
the same name, off the northern
coast of Sicily, has burst into ac-
tivity. The eruption began with a
violent explosion which was heard
far from the island and the people
are abandoning their homes and
fleeing to Sicily.
Stronboli is a volcano remarkable
for its activity, having been in erup-
ton for the better part of the last
1000 years. The two most violent
outbreaks in recent years occurred
in 1907 and in 1915. The activity of
the volcano in 1907 was considered
by some observers as a precursor
OF the great seismic volcano which
virtually destroyed Messena the next
year. In normal times the popula-

Overtime Rate
OF Railroad Men
To Be Reduced
Employees to Draw Pay at Pro
Rata Scale Under De-
cision of Labor
Board. 80.

Chicago, June e. Railway en-
ployees will be paid for overtime in
excess of eight hours daily at the pro
rate. instead of for time and one-half,
under temporary decision of the
United States railroad board today.
The order. effective July |, applies
to all employees except those who
have reached individual rate agree
ments with the roads, or those,
mostly in the south, who were being
paid time and one-half after eight
hours before federal control of the
roads. ~
The ruling is operative pending
settlement of disputes now before
the board and if it is later decided
that the punitive rate for overtime is
justified, the roads will be directed
to pay back to their employees the
amount deducted after July |, under
the present decision.
Today's decision also provided for
the continuation "of the rules estab-
lished by or under the authority of
the United States railroad admin
istration until such time as such rules
are considered and decided upon by
the board" with the further ex-
ception of rules agreed upon at in
dividual conferences which become
effective on July |.
By an order of the board April a.,
which. in effect, abrogated the
national agreements, the railways
were given until July l, to negotiate
individual rules agreements with
their own employees. In case of dis
agreement, the dispute was ordered
rcmanded to the labor board. The
flood of disagreements which has
poured into the board this week and
the delay in hearing them brought
up the prospect that many roads
would be left without any working
agreements after July /. The old
rules were therefore continued pro
tenn.

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, June 28.-The first
attack upon the Willis Campbell
anti-beer amendment to the Volstead
prohibition enforcement act was de-
livered in the senate today by Sena-
tor Broussard of Louisiana. He pre-
dicted that the bill, which passed the
house yesterday and which is now
before the senate judiciary commit
tee, was molly a forerunner of still
more drastic legislation, curtailing
the liberties of the people.
This proposed amendment" he
said, violates every principle upon
which Our government was founded.
81 dare say that the provisions
which are proposed under the
amendment to the Volstead act viii
bring about more dissatisfaction,
bring about more discomfort, bring
about more contempt and disrespect
for the law than any one of the other
causes which have been discussed on
the floor of the senate."'
Charges Of corruption in the prohi-
bition bureau resulted in the arrest
OF William P. Egan, former assistant
chief of the legal division, charged
with accepting bribes in the issuance
of whisky removal permits. The ar
rest is believed to be forerunner OF
others, the legal division of the bu-
reau having under suspicion ever
since conspiracy was uncovered in
the New Yoork prohibition office.
This fraud uncovered clues which led
direct to Washington. Government
officials refused to discuss the arrest
of Egan, who resigned June Is, last.
