Kearney, Neb.. Jan. 5.-(Special.)
While not exactly Caruso. Mark
Roudebusch, being held in the coun-
ty Jail here as fugitive from JUS
tice, insisted on warbling all of the
latest melodies. His sudden desire
for vocal practice aroused the sus-
picions of Deputy Sheriff Parr.
An investigation followed and it
was found that lie had sawed his
way throug., two bars OF his cell and
covered up the sound of his opera
tions by singing countless bars of
popular songs. Two saws were
found hidden in the sole Of his shoes.
Roudebusch celebrated his return
to Kearney after an absence of over
year by imbibing freely of the
juice of maize extracted by some
crafty violator of Mr.. Volstead's
law. He was arrested and while
serving a jail sentence for his ce1e-
bration it was learned that he had
an unfinished term to serve in the
Missouri state penitentiary at Jeffer-
son City. Two hours before officers
arrived to take him back his attempt
to escape jail was discovered.
According to the Missouri officers,
he was sentenced to the penitcntiary
for FIVE years on a robbery charge.
They say he served one year. after
which he posed as insane and was re-
moved to the insane hospital. Two
Gays later, they say. he escaped and
made his way to Kearney.

Again Discussed
Without Result
Foreign Relations Committee
Adjourns Following Pro-
tracted Session-Another
Meeting Expected.

Washington, Jan. 5.-Another dis
eussion of world naval disarmament
before the senate foreign relations
committee today was without result.
The committee adjourned subject to
the call of the chairman, expected
within few days.
- Ffae sentife session of the con1ulit-
tee today was taken up with the
presentation of arguments by Sena-
tor Walsh, democrat, Montana, in
favor of his resolution requesting the
president to send an American rep
resentative to sit with the general
disarmament commission of the
league of nations, and the Borah res
oiution, proposing independent ne
gotiations with Gieat Britain and
Japan. was not taken up.
The committee met in executive
session. Senator Walsh was under
stood to have taken the position that
military and naval disarmament must
be accomplished together. He ar
gaed that it was not feasible, as pro-
posed by Senator Borah, to deal sole
ly with naval disarmament.
Senator Walsh also was said to
have argued that the contention that
participation of an American rep
resentative in the league of nations
disarmament proceedings would in
volve America in the leagues affairs
was not sound.
On this point Senator Borah said
that if America was to enter the
league he wanted it done "by the
front door and not by the back"
No further hearings are planned
by the committee and final action is
expected at the next session.

ter resume this work when we arc
in a better humor."

tions. Commissioner w. G. Ure OF

The attitude of the representatives
of the Chamber of Commerce drew
the fire of City Commissioners Zim-
man and Butler, resulting in the ex-
change of personalities, which led
the conferees into the. realm of liv-
ing costs. Mr.. Zimman explained
that he contemplated an increase
of $40 per month for the FIRE
men, and added that this increase
would give them 4lH cents an hour,
based on IL hours day. Members
of the Chamber of Commerce COM
mittee stated that they came with
open minds as to the merits of in
creasing fircmen and policemen.
"What has the Chamber of COM
meroe ever done to help reduce the
high cost of living in Omaha?"
asked Commissioner Butler while
Mr.. Trimble had the floor.
MIR. Trimble stated that his COM
mlttee was not accorded courteous
treatment and that he did not ex-
pect ever to appear again in the city
council chamber.
Butler Wants Competition.
"If anybody is not satisfied with
the way, the city government has
been managed, let him pay $40 fling
fee and run for city commissioner
this spring." said Commissioner
Butler.

Ure assured the, men from the
Chamber of Commerce that repre-
