PLATE GLASS WINDOW BROk EN-
AND PAIR OF SHOES TAKEN

The Ruscha Dry Goods Company at
the corner of Broadway and Fourth
street, Saturday, decorated their east
window very attractively with shoes
for men, women and children. 1t was
such an attraction that between the
hours of 300 and 800 o'clock Sun
day morning, some one threw rock
through the window and carried away
a pair of mems shoes. SO far, Mr.
Ruscha has not determined what else
was taken but thinks that the one
pair of shoes was the extent of the
theft. The party that took the shoes
preferred dark brown.

SCHUMANN-HEINK TO
BE AT SPRINGFIELD

Springfield, Jan. 21.-Madame
Schumann-Heink, famous contralto
singer, will come to Springfield for a
concert at Convention hall during the
first week in May, under the auspices
of the Abou Ben Adhem Shrine band
and patrol, it was announced yester-
day by the shrine committee. The
exact date has not yet been set.
The bringing to Springfield Of Mad
anne Schumann-Heink by the Shrine
is a part of the naturalization OF
plans recently announced in connect
tion with the building Of the Shrine
mosque to place before the people of
this territory the best artists of the
country at popular prices.
These entertainments will be held
at Convention hall or other auditor
iums until the completion of the
mosque later in the year. Special
rates will be made for students, it was
announced by the committee, as this
probably will be the last opportunity
the young generation of today will
have to hear this wonderful singer.
Madame Schumann-Heink is un-
doubtedly the greatest contralto sing
er in the world and those who have
heard her in the past will no doubt be
pleased with the chance to do so again

POPE BENEDICT XIV
DIED SUNDAY
Supreme Pontiff Loses Long and
Valiant Battle Against
Pneumonia.

Rome, January 22.-Pope Benedict
breathed his last at $3.50 O'Clock this
morning. The news was hurriedly
communicated from the papal bed
chamber to the principal antechamber
and was announced by Mgr. Pizzardo,
Deputy Papal Secretary of State, just
as the ponderous bells Of st. Peters
overlooking the Vatican courtyard, be-
gan tolling the hour of 6. Then one
by one the bells in Rome's 400
churches Joined in the havologic sym
phony that marked the passing of the
head of the Roman Catholic Church.
The end came after long night of
intense agony and suffering, the Pom
tiff now and then lapsing into deliri-
um. Shortly before midnight he took
a little nourishment, which seemed
momentarily to revive his spirits, but
within an hour he began to sink
rapidly. At 1:15 o'clock Dr. BATHS
TIM, emerging from the pontifical
chamber into the anteroom, pronounce
ed that the end was approaching, that
already his hands and nose felt cold.
"He will live only three OF four
hours at the maximum said the
physician.
From that period on breathing be-
came an agonizing task, as the Su-
preme Pontiff, who had fought the
severe lung and throat congestion so
bitterly, was now too weak to combat
the attack any longer.
HIS eyes were half closed as he
lapsed into Inconsistencies while the
terrible mastery which pneumonia
had won over the Holy Fathers dog
ged resistance, resistance which
made the members of the pontifical
household marvel at the Pope's nerve
and stamina, now began its inexor-
able Of His slender hold on life.
His heart rapidly weakened, and at
5 o'clock in the morning it was certain
that the end was a matter Of moments
Accordingly, Cardinals Gasparri,
Sampe and Pizzardo, and all the
pontifical household were notified
that the end was approaching rapidly.
Cardinal Gasparri entered the bed
chamber at $3.50 o'clock, passing
through the antichamber wearing
deep furrows on the brow of his bow
ed head and walking with short, rapid
steps to the bedside of the dying Pom
tiff. He fad been there only nine
minutes before the Pope breathed his
last.
Cardinal Giorgi, grand penitentiary
attended the Pope throughout the
whole night, saying first mass for
His Holiness shortly after midnight.
He was assisted Mgr. Respighe,
/ perfect of ceremonies, and by Mon
| signors Testoni, Piermotti and Mag
namenti.,

LABOR BOARD CHANGES
RAIL CLERKS RULES
Abolition of Penal Overtime Until Az
ter Ninth Hour and Authorize
tion of Split Shifts.

Washington, January 22,-Aboli.
tioD of penal overtime payments until
after the ninth hour of work and au.
thorization of "split shifts" instead of
compelling overtime payments or two
shifts for intermittent work over q
span of more than eight hours are i'm
portant changes in rules governing
railroad clerical and terminal employ
es issued by the United States Rail
road Labor Board tonight.
The new rules which become. effec-
tive February |, supersede the nation
al agreement made by the federal ad-
ministration with the Brotherhood OF
Railway and Steamship Clerks freight
handlers, Express and Station En-
poyes, which has been in erect since
January l, 1920 About 100000 en-
ployes are affected.
Through elimination of time and
one-half pay for the ninth hour OF
work the railroads are expected to
save thousands of dollars, although no
estimate of the amount is available,
The eight hour day was retained in
principle, however, as were collective
= bargaining and union recognition.
The new rules cover all points in
clerical working agreements not COW
~eted by rules negotiated between in
dividual roads and their employees.
Time and one-haIf pay now applies
only to the tenth hour of work or
thereafter and to hours worked if
held on duty more than two hours
when called for extra work. Sunday
and holiday work will be paid at
straight time, except where the rail
road agrees to do otherwise.
Reopening of many small railway
stations, improvement of service to
small towns and on suburban lines is
expected to follow the adoption Of the
new rules as to intermittent work. 1t
will now be possible for the railroads
to place responsible employees at the
smaller stations at all train hours
without the expense which they claim
now is prohibitive and which has re-
suited in the closing of many stations
and the handing of others over to care
takers and ianitors at some hours of
the day.
The new rule announced by the
board provides that where actual SER
vice is intermittent, eight hours,
actual time on duty within a spread
of twelve hours shall constitute a
dc.-' work. When employees actually
work more than eight hours within
che span or when held longer than
twelve hours to perform their work,
they are to be paid time and one-half
for the extra time.
Under the old national agreement
an employe received overtime pay
after expiration of eight hours from
rhe time he first went on duty, al
though he may have had several hours
of idleness, due to the fact that there
was no train service nor any other
duties to perform.

GERMANY MUST PAY
WAR OBLIGATIONS
Poincare Will Exact Full Reparation.
Parliament Solidly Behind
Him.

Paris, Jan. 19.-Raymond Poincare,
president of the republic during the
war and now premier of France, with
the French chamber practically unan-
imous behind him, served notice on
. Germany today that so long as he
held office in conducting the destinies
Of his country, Germany must fulfill
the obligations she entered upon at
Versailles, and may expect no len
iency.
"The Versailles treaty binds up to
our allies" he said, "but it binds Ger
many to US all. 1t must be carried
out"
Program Summed Up
These were his final words before
leaving the tribune, after replying to
various interpretations. His pro-
nouncement summed up the whole
program.
Never since the Germans threaten
ed ChateauThierry, when Clemen-
ceau appeared before the chamber of
deputies to tell France that the war
was not yet lost, and there was still
hope Of victory, has a French pre-
mier received such an ovation as
greeted NJ. Poincare today. He plead
ed for national union and, except for
the socialists and communists. who
automatically oppose, the French par
lament was as solid behind its gov
ernment as when the Germans cross
ed the frontier in 1914.
