ADJUSTMENTS
FIELD's MTNSTRELS

Billy Church, the popular tenor OF
the Al G. Field minstrels, which come
to the Jefferson theater for three night
performance, beginning Thursday, with
Saturday matinee, doesn't believe in
frowns or worries. He is the most
happy-go-lucky membeENOf the minstrel
troupe, and his face always wears a
smile. He believes in following the
message of most of the songs he sings,
that a smile will go a long way, and
trouble never helped anybody.
There is too much fun in this world,
to waste your time frowning and worry
ing" says Billy, land for one, don't
intend to. The pessimist who sits at
home and scowls is digging his own
grave. Let the undertaken see to that /;
he likes it"
Billy has a number on the thirty
eighth annual edition this year, called
1.-THE Story of the Rosary" which in
creases his popularity with his admirers
and shows his exceptional ability. The
show is one of the most appealing min
strel productions ever staged and the
cast comprises all the old favorites in
minstrelsy.

For an added attraction there is a
hilarious farce playlet, go Into The
Kitchen" presented by Walter Fischer,

ducing force, with a decidedly novel
twist.

Der with an intriguing title. 1t is called
Thirty Pink Toes" and described as
an untold tale of the Arabian Nights.
Critics say it is extra pleasing entertain
ment in every regard.

NORRIS TO BACK
NEBRASKA WINNER
Tells How He viii Vote In Case
OF Deadlock
(By Associated Press)

BRIDGEPORT, Neb., Oct. I'm
the event that the presidential election
is thrown into congress, Senator George
w. Norris, republican, Nebraska, will
vote for the candidate who carries Ne
braska. he told voters of Bridgeport and
vicinity in an address here last night.
The senator's declaration was made
as an answer to letter from DIR. Ira
Il. Atkinson, a republican worker of
Lincoln, asking Senator Norris how he
would cast his vote if such a situation
arose.
MAY / not ask, however, why this
question appears to be asked OF me
aIoneg' he queried his audience. why
should be singled out and the question
propounded to no other candidate! In
deed, the question is of much greater I'M
pOrtance when applied to member OF
the house than to a senator. The SEN
ate elects vice president-an insig-
nificant office as compared with the
president. The president is elected by
the house. There are six members OF
the house from Nebraska-three republ-
leans and three democrats-and every
one of them is candidate for re-elec-
ton. Why not ask them how they will
vote in case the election of president Is
thrown into the house,"

Pledged To Discontinue
Practice
(Bessemer Bureau.)

BESSEMER, Ala, Oct. 13.-The new
Bessemer council has gone on record as
being opposed to the practice which 1t
Is said has in some instances been re-
sorted to in the past of allowing differ
ent interests to make a canvass OF coun-
cilmen with the view to getting them
pledged to the support Of some PROPOSE
ton prior to its presentation in an Of
fetal way to the council.
1t has sometimes been the case that
the various members of the council
have been approached privately and
their signatures secured to petitions of
various kinds to come before the coun-
Gil and this custom has been declared
unethical and unfair by the present
council. The president of the council,
John w. Brooks, declared himself I'M
alterably opposed to This custom and as
result of his statement, resolution
was offered and adopted in which the
aldermen pledged themselves to a discon-
tinuance of the practice.

Mrs. WinOna Green,
Confessed Slayer

Tulsa. Okla, Oct. 1.-THE missing
hody of Mrs. Lena Green, who was
shot to death September 20 by her
daurhter-in-law, Mrs. Winona Green,
according to the latter's alleged confess
sion to police at Little Rock, Ark, was
found today in a wooded tract near
Fisher, Okla.
The body rested against a rock at a
spot the young woman told officers it
would be found. The condition of the
body made it impossible to determine
the cause of death, officers said. Dep
uty Sheriff Morris Evans, who resides
near Fisher, II miles southeast OF
Tulsa, set out early this morning with
neighbors and found the body at a. m.
Sheriff Sanford of Tulsa county prev
iously had held another long distance
telephone conversation with Mrs. Wi
mona Green at Little Rock and she
told him the body would be further
back in the woods than where the Of
ficers previously had searched.
A buzzard circling overhead led the
searching party to the spot. The body
was removed to Tulsa and placed in
a sealed casket to be sent to Little
Rock for burial.
According to the alleged confession
of Mrs. Winona Green, she came to
Tulsa September 26, accompanied by
her mother-in-law took the elder wo-
man to the lonely spot and shot her
to death with a pistol which she had
obtained here from loan agency. After
staying the woman, she took 5000
draft from her. Returning to Tulsa
she rode to Kansas town in a hired
automobile and caught a train for
Pueblo, Colo, where she was arrested
and returned to Little Rock.
The girl also confessed having slain
her father-in-law, J. r. Green, at Lit
tie Rock last August. He was mys-
teriously shot while walking through a
railroad cut.
