BETTER POLICE PROTECTION
Subject to be Discussed at First joint
Meeting of Senator's and
Representatives,

The matter Of better police protection for
Omaha will be brought up by the Douglas
county legislative delegation at the first
Joint meeting of the representatives and
senator's, which probably will be soon after
Attorney John P. Breen has spoken on
legislative needs before the Real Estate
exchange next Wednesday noon. The dele
CATION is alive to the needs of more ade-
quate police protection in Omaha and will
favor and urge an emergency appropria-
ton at the next session, thus giving the
city an early benefit Of that appropriation.
The Commercial club committee on the
matters of fire and police protection will
meet the delegation in a day or two.
At present the police department has a
limit of S115,OCO. with only 80 per cent usu-
ally available. There are now flfty-five
patrolmen on duty in three shifts, making
any one shift insigniheantly small. The
question OF fire protection is one that has
been brought up particularly by the insur-
ance companies. The delegation will give
that matter careful hearing. Senator
Saunders said he was heartily in favor
OF an increase in the police department
and believed the others of the delegation
were Of similar mind.

full of little tads this year. She had never
had any trouble in discipline until a few
days ago when one boy became obstreper-

which she had, dreaded for long time had
come, the moment when she should have to
assert her authority by some practical
demonstration thereof ., eel,
But what should she do? The boy APP

no fear OF anything she could do. Had 1t
not been such critical moment she would
have cried. She realized that her whole
authority would be destroyed II she gave

terrible look.

Johnny stood up and looked expectantly
at her. The young woman declares that
at that moment her mind was a perfect
blank as to what to do next. Then she
thought Of a large closet in the room.

terrible voice. Johnny went into the closet
which was the place usually dedicated TO
the administering Of whlppings. The little
school teacher had never whipped a child
and didn't want TO try IT, But the boy
expected a whipping. The little woman
was at her wits end. Then she thunderd

the little boy on hands and knees.
Now take your seat and let this be a

to his seat bewildered by this strange

fidelity that is almost cruel II is the
browning effort OF the actor. The scene
comes as a distinct shock, so great is the
transition from that which Immediately
precedes II. The encounter with the Button
Molder, where Peer impotently pleads for
his life, is most realistic, and the closing
scene, where he is permitted to join with
Solveig and under her devotion Is spared
to do, If possible, something that will save
him from humiliation, is a genuine climax.

Tying filings on the records Of the Valen-
tine land ONCE during his administration
as registrar.
Following his evidence old soldiers from
The Soldiers home at Milford were placed
on the witness stand. These men were the
special prOteges of A. b. Todd and had been
shipped to Gordon TO receive the necessary
Instructions relative to the lands they we're
to file upon, In these cases the declaratory
statements were not only secured, but the
filings on the lands executed in the usual
manner at the Valentine land office, with a
subsequent VISIT to the notorious wind
MILF claims, all carriage and expense free
to the entrymen. The soldiers all made a
second visit to the lands to carry out the
six months proviso. Neither of them in
tended to live on the land. but expected I'm
some way to realize something from their
free investment. Neither would they have
entered the land but from the fact that
their filing fees were paid by others.
Defense Has Surprise.
The defense evidently has something In
the nature Of a surprise to spring, as Il
has not given any sign as to the number
OF witnesses 1t may summon. In this event
the case is likely to go to argument Friday.
The first witness of Wednesday was
Charles e. Simmons, soldier from the MIL
ford Home and former resident OF Omaha
His evidence was of the same general char
Rcter Of all old soldiers secured by A. b
Todd from the different soldiers homes OF
the country. The witness had no intention
Of living on the land, but said: Il thought
that by filing on the land this way would
be equivalent to holding It, in the same
manner as by a land warrant, and II thC
land warrant was good 1 would have q
piece of land to live on or do with as
pleased. l would not have filed on tbs

James L. Armel another of the MILFORD
colony told similar story, being one o.
foods recruits. Armel when shown hi
homestead papers by Mr.. Rush, repudiateC
his signature to one of the documents, bu
admitted that he had signed the othe1
documents pertaining to the entry. HI
said II asked Todd what was in It, anS
he said 500 or $500. but the parties whit

Andrew Corning also OF Milford, told
like story. He said: II did not file y
etgn any declaratory statement, though
made a filing and signed for It at tn,
Valentine land Office. 1 was told by Tod
that l would have to stay on the lanC
one night in the whole five years"
