Hard Fight to Secure Recognition
from Wyoming Wool Men,
GUILD USES SOME PLAIN TALK
Tells the Wool OF Unfu1-
allied Pledges OF Their Committed
and Result H. to Make Friends
for the Omaha Market.

RAwLINs. wyo., Jan. 12-(Specisl Tele-
gram)-when the Omaha delegation to the
Wyoming Wool Growers convention here
had surveyed the situation as IL pertains
to the wool storage movement, 1t was real
ized that n hard fight would be necessary
in order to secure any recognition or en-
dorsement of the Omaha market That the
growers did by resolution recognize the
benefits derived by the Wyoming sheep men
through the Omaha house and commended
It to the growers of the state is considered
quite an accomplishment by those en- the
ground. but better than the words of the
resolutions are the friends made n the
positive assurances of wool this coming
season given by many individual growers
as the result OF a somewhat unfortunate
but seemingly unavoidable incident during
the afternoon session, when Omaha was
denied a fair show in a round table dis
cussion OF the storage and central market
question.
j. e. Cosgriff was presiding at the
time. 1t was necessary for COMMISSIONS
Guild of Omaha to demand a hearing and
indulge in some pretty plain talk on tho
unfulfilled promises of the committee that
visited Omaha and Chicago in October and
took advantage of Omaha's just recognition
on the floor to enlighten the individual
growers on the assurances of that commit
tee and subsequent treatment OF Omaha
Later on Harry c. Bronze of Omaha made
a telling speech on Omaha's ability to
handle n storage proposition on a practically
unlimited scale, citing facts and figures re-
garding omaha's development as a sheep

Yiddlsh drama continues in its popular
run at the Krug, and Tuesday evening a
good sized audience attended the presenta-
tfon of Gordin's play, patterned after
Shakespeare's King Lear" 1t differs to
a great extent from the English idea of
Lear, but nevertheless is said to be highly
appreciated by the audience for which It
is intended. Madam Fannie Reinhart
again displayed her versatility by assuming
a mans part in last nights production.
Jacob Frank introduced a considerable
amount of comedy into the part of the
faithful servant of the aged Duvidel Mo-
sheles, the Jewish King Lear, n other
players in the piece worked lard in their
roles. By special request, Manager Larg-
man OF the company has decided to change
the order of presenting the other plays in
the repertoir and will put on the comedy
called THE Devil at the matinee perform
ance, and 9Th Two Little Migrants" in
the evening. A number of specialties by

Against sharks.

The trlfling consideration that a man has
had both feet cut off makes no difference
to the loan shark,
This is one fact In the case of William
Clair. whose debt-bound plight gives grim
point and emphasis to the recommendation
by Governor Sheldon in his last message
that something be done in the matter OF the
loan sharks.
Clair is a man of 80 years, who for the
first part of his life had at least one foot,
the other being amputated wheH he was a
child. Some time ago blood poisoning set
in in the other member. which had to be
amputRted at the knee. Out OF the hos

operation and hospital charges. Clair found
he must get another artificial leg II he was

because OF hungry mouths at home. 50 he
took the fatal step and went to a loan shark
intthe New York Life building. This tender
creditor no later changed for another, Abb

and this went back to the furniture people,

After a time this oubly crippled man fell

and have aEother amputation performed.
This time he lost the knee joint OF the leg
which had been blood poisoned before.
While Clair lay on the operating table
his creditors sought out his son and per-
suaded him, to assume part of his father
paid part OF It.. Then he refused to be
longer gouged.
Clair went back to work. He left the
hospital to save and skimp every cent a.
