Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, July 15.-Senators
were so busy today pigeon-holing

a month ago. The committee held

Clad in a pair of army trousers, an
army shirt, an old white hat and a
brcken-down pair of shoes, Mortimer
A. De Peyster, heir to millions,
clambered out of an ash can in an
Omaha alley this morning and pro-
ceeded to stretch the kinks out of
his cramped body.
He had put up for the night in the
ash can because his last dollar de-
parted his company Tuesday.
Brushing the dust and cobwebs
from his clothing, Mortimer stepped
briskiy from the alley and headed
toward the Henshaw hotel, where
today he will receive prospective en-
ployers, or anyone headed toward
Chicago who would like nice young
millionaire for a companion
For Mortimer A. De Peyster must
be in Chicago before the 25th of this
month. Otherwise he stands to lose
500 smacks.
Mortimer is not travelling between
Cheyenne, Wyo., and Chicago in the
drawing room of Pullman or by
any other of the approved millionaire
methods. One OF the express stipu-
lations of the journey is that he
must not board train of any de-
scription.
"V;ent and Did It"
In the words of the poet, Mortimer
"has went and did it again" And
thereby hangs tale.
1t was October 1o, 1897. that the
heir to the De Peyster millions first
saw the light of day in Washington,
D. c. His birth cost the life of his
mother and his father died when
Mortimer was IA.
Terms of the fathers will were
that monetary affairs of the son were
to be conducted by A. S. White until
the heir became "a.
Mortimer completed high school
and with much eclat proceeded to do
up Yale. He made grand begin
ming, among other things giving the
statue of the sedate Nathan Hale a
coat of red and green paint and stag
ing free-for-all fight in Vanderbilt
dcrmitory. Yale authorities decided
the institution could worry along
without Mortimer and were not back
ward in telling him so.
Harvard Didn't Want Him.
Mortimer decided to give Har-
vard a chance. Harvard, being a |
good sport, took chance. But
The heir showed entirely too much
speed and the institution, after un-
iergoing several pranks approach
ing in nature those bestowed upon
Yale, only more so, cheerfully hand

Fiancee of Sian
Man Gets Bandit
ToConfessCrilne
Shooting Occurs During Hold
up When Couple, Out for
Motor Ride, Attempts to
Resist Robbery

Chicago, July ls.-Miss Helen
Goodlow did what Chicago's best de-
tectives were unable to do. She OBJ
tanned a confession from wounded
bandit who a few hours before had
fatally wounded her sweetheart. The
confession involved his two compan-
ions and is expected to lead to the
arrest of every member Of notori-
Gus criminal band.
Miss Goodlow and Alexander
Dumurat, her fiance, were held up
while auto riding last night. Mr..
Dumurat attempted to resist and
was shot down. Detectives arrested
John Kubes after he had been
wounded in gun battle.
Dies in Hospital.
Dumurat was rushed to the Engle-
wood hospital, where he died, and
a short time later the wounded
bandit was brought in. The bandit
denied he had been connected with
the holdup. All efforts to obtain a
confession failed. Miss Goodlow, at
the side of her sweetheart, asked
permission to try.
She bathed the bandits face and
gave him cooling drinks. He was
surly at first but finally broke down.
Grasping the girls hand he sobbed
for his mother and gave the names
of his pals and the history of the
gangs activities.
Witnesses Hear Confession.
Plain clothes men, seated in the
background, heard the confession.
An hour later Raymond Sheehan,
one of the men named by Kubes,
was captured. He added his con-
fession to that of Kubes, naming
Ben Struckow as the third man on
the job. According to this confess
sion Strukow is leader of large and
active band of automobile bandits.
He is an ex-convict with a bad rec
ord.
Detectives surrounded house
where Struckow was believed to be
living. While waiting they heard
two shots little way up the street
James Kamynlski was found lying on
the sidewalk wounded. He said a
man answering Struckow's descrip-
tion had shot him when he resisted
an order to hold up his hands. The
believe ,Struckow's arrest
is only a matter of few hours.

Washington, July ls.-Hides-
raw, green and pickled-were
thrown off the Fordney tariff free
list today by the house, which vot-
ed 152 to 81, to impose an ad
valorem duty of IS per cent to be
followed by another amendment tax
ing all leather products, including
shoes.
Eight republican members of the
ways and means committee which
forwarded the bill voted for free
hides and Representative Garner of
Texas, ranking democratic COM
mitteeman in charge of the general
fight against the bill, voted for the
tax.
There were many breaks from
straight party lines on the first con-
tested section of the measure, but
findiag themselves with votes to
spare, republican leaders forced an
early adjournment over the demo-
cratic demand that the bill be read
for amendment.
Pleads for Farmer.
Representative Hawley of Wash
ington, republican member of the
committee, in pleading against the
duty declared the farmers, by a
tariff, would get less than they were
now paid and that $81 600, 900 would
be added annually to the nations
shoe and leather bill. He was joined
by Representative Burton, repub-
lican, Ohio, former member of the
senate, who told the house that the
Payne-Aldrich bill did not put one
cent of tax on the hide of the COW.

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, July l5-Tn one of
the stormiest sessions witnessed in
the senate in years, the soldiers bo-
nus bill was sidetracked today, in
definitely, according to President
Harding's desire, by vote of AZ
i to 20. y@
/ This action was followed by scenes
| of disorder and near violence never
paralleled within the memory of the
oldest senator. The dignified and
| august senate was transformed into
a veritable madhouse, defying the
| efforts of the presiding officer to
| restore order.
Threatened iisticuffs, super heated
| epithets, a score of senators demand
ing recognition at once, bewldering
parliamentary entanglements and
cloudburst on the roof of the capitol.
| combined to create the almost unpre-
| ccdented pandemonium.
The chief belligerents were Sem
ator McCumber CT North Dakota, re-
publicans; Senator Reed, Missouri,
democrat, and Senator Robinson, Ar
kansas, democrat. Only the most pol
ished finesse on the part of peace
making colleagues prevented Sena-
tor McCumber and Senator Reed
from engaging in fistic encounter.
McCumber Starts Fight.
The battle began when Senator
McCumber, Immediately following
.he vote on the bonus, took the floor
to assure the senate that the bill
would not remain suspended long.
He promised that it would be
brought back again from the finance
committee within the present ses-
sion
Democrats at once began to heckle
the North Dakota senator. Then they
tried to choke off his speech, Sena-
tor Robinson making a point of or
der against it on the ground that
the bonus bill was no longer before
the senate. He charged that SEN
ator McCumber was using up the
senate's time trying to apologize for
the vote on the bonus
A series of hopelessly involved
parliamentary Aancuvers ensued,
scores of senators shouting at the
tops of their voices, demanding
recognition from the chair. To add
to the confusion, the worst storm Of
the season burst upon the capitol at !
this moment. The roar of torrents
of rain on the roof of the senate
wing. mingled with incessant crashes
cf thunder, rendered the debate vir-
tually inaudible. Vice President
Coolidge finally ruled in Senator Nc
Cumber's favor. An appeal was
taken by Senator Robinson. Sena-
tor McCumber moved to lay the
appeal on the table and by party
vote the senate sustained the vice
president. The round thus ended
with McCumber again in possession
of the floor.
Reed Enters Ring.
Proceeding with his speech, Sena-
tor McCumber informed the senate
that the bonus would come forward

Howat Says Coal
Men Are 'Bluffing'
On Wage Question
Union Leader Charges Opera
tors Preparing Way for
Increase in Price Of
Fuel.

Pittsburgh, Kan, July 1s.-Oper-
ators of the southwest were merely
engaged in "a bluff in their demand
for a reduction in wages for the day
men employed at the coal mines of
this district, Alexander Howat, pres
ident of the Kansas Miners union,
asserted today.
In statement Of his position on
his return from Kansas City, where
he attended the conference Of op-
orators and union officials yesterday
at which the wage reduction demand
was made, he said:
THE operators are planning on in
creasing the price of coal. They
knew we wouldn't stand for the re-
duction and plan to make Our re-
fusal the basis for hiking the price
of coal.
"The absurdity of the operators
asking for price increase because
of wages paid to miners should be
apparent to all" Howat said, when
it is remembered that miners re-
ceive only $l.25 for mining a ton
of coal, which sells for from $40 to
SIS to the consumer of the state"
Denies Advance Planned.
Kansas City, July 15.-W. L. A.
Johnson, general commissioner of
the Southwestern Interstate Coal
Operators association, commenting
on Alexander Howat's statement re-
garding yesterdays wage conference,
denied that the operators intend to
advance the price of coal as result
Of the miners refusal to accept a
wage reduction.
"No increase is contemplated. 50
far as I know" Mr.. Johnson said.
He asserted that the operators had
granted three or four wage increases
during the war when prices OF COM
modities were increased and that it
seemed only fair that the miners
should accept reduction when these
same commodities are generally on
the decline.
"We do not get $40 to SIS a ton
for coal for which the miners are
paid $l.25. The industrial courts re-
Gently found that we are getting
$5.25 a ton for such COAL" he said.
Mr.. Johnson added that he did
not know what the retail price of
the coal in question was.
