BOY SHOOTS HIMSELF:
SAID TO BE A SUICIDE

Claus Reimers, aged Il, is dying in
Davenport from a bullet wound in the
head inflicted this afternoon with a
22-calibre rife on the walk in front of
the home of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Reimers, on Rockingham road.
The impression is that it was case
of suicide. The members of the fam
lily declare the shooting was acciden-
tai. The boy is unconscious, and will
in all likelihood carry the secret to
the grave with him. 1t is. said he had
had quarrel with his father. He
was leaving home for a hunt when
shot.
The bullet entered the head just
above the right ear. taking a down
ward course and entering the base of
the brain.

Reported Confession on Subject From

1t is reported that the confessions
of one of the three bandits captured
in northern Indiana last week after
career of crime in Chicago and Vi
entity has thrown some light upon
number of railroad holdups that have
taken place during the last two or
three years in the middle west. 1t is

System has seen Neidermeier and OBJ
tanned from him facts that throw
light on the holdup on the Rock Isl

The detective refused to give any de-
tails of the confession, presumably
because that others implicated might
be warned that the authorities were
looking for them if he did so.

STRICTLY ~NONPARTISAN.


In trying to Justify the violation of
home rule principles in the proposed ap-
pointment Of a water commission by
the governor instead of a commission
elected by the people, or appointed by
the mayor and council. the champions of
that extraordinary measure declared
their main object to be the complete ex-
clusion of the commission from politics.
The commission, they said, was to be
strictly ~nonpartisan and must always
so remain. But this feature of the bill
does not seem to nave impressed itself
very strongly upon the politicians.
The first thing out of the box is a per-
sonal appeal to the governor by that
stanch nonpartisan, Charles A. Goss,
chairman of the republican county COM
mittee. to allow the executive committee
of the republican county committee to
name the members Of the commission
Why the republican county committee,
a majority of whose members live In
South Omaha and in the country pre-
cincts, should rush into the breach is
inexplicable.
If the water commission is really to
become political spoils the republican
city committee should, by all means,
have precedence. If the prerogative OF
the republican county machine or city
machine to name the members Of the
water works board is conceded, why not
also concede the right TO name the three
democratic members of the water com
mission to the democratic county or city
machine? We feel sure they would
name simon pure democrats instead OF
half-breeds or republican democrats.
