JUDGE ESTELLE HERE
Judge of Juvenile Court of Omaha
Will Speak Tonight.

Eighty per cent of the delinquent
children who come before me in the
Juvenile court in OMAHA said Judge
Lee S. Estelle, who will speak this
evening at the First Methodist church,
ARE saved from a life of crime. The
remarkable part of the work is that
Jewish rabbits, Catholic priests and
Protestant ministers combine making
it more effective.
1.-THE juvenile court in Omaha was
organized six years ago A Judge of
the district court is assigned each
year to handle the work, and for the
last few years I have been the man
assigned. At other times have had
about third of the work to do as a
consequence of the frequent absence
of the judges.
The judge appoints a chief proba-
ton officer and two assistants who
work on salaries. Quite as important
in our work is the volunteer assistance
We have on the part of ministers and
teachers engaged in the work Of
teaching boys.
Among those who have helped in
the work are: Bishop Beecher of the
Episcopal church; DR.. F. L. Loveland
for the four years he was in the city;
Rabbi Kohn: Father Stenson, a Catho-
lie priest; the Rev. Mr.. A. w. Clark
and DR.. Curry, Baptists, and many
Others"
Judge Estelle will deliver a free lee
ture at SIS o'clock on 1.-THE Law. the
Lass, and the Lad At 6:15 a ban

the Social Service club of the First
Methodist church under whose aus

ing from windows.
There were about $50 Cinnamon and
about twenty-five white women in the

the middle of the night for these peo-
pie who seldom see the sun, except
possibly at sunrise, and 10 minutes
after the alarm was given flames were
shooting from the windows of the up
per floors and the fire escapes were a
mass of struggling Cinnamon and
women.

Missouri-kansas Football Game Will
Probably Stay As 1t IL.

Des Moines, Jan. 6.-The preside tents
and governing boards of the Missouri
Valley conference schools in session
here today passed a resolution giving
fuller athletic power to faculty rep
resentatives making the presidents and
governing boards supreme, except as
to details.
Thanksgiving football, under this
rule, is still in the hands of the presi-
dents who are fighting the question out
this afternoon. AmeS Drake, Iowa
and Missouri appeared this forenoon to
be lining up against the other mem
bers of the conference which probably
means that the rule abolishing Thanks
giving football will be rescinded.

Jackson Saloons Close.

Jackson, Tenn, Jan. 1.-The soft
drink dealers threw up the sponge last
night after five months prosecution.
AT the stroke of twelve the doors OF
every stand in the city were closed and
the soft" drink business ceased to exist
as Jackson entered upon the new year.
The action Of County Court Clerk ].
A. Thompson in taking steps to collect
the State and county tax of retail liz
uor dealer from each of the soft"
drink dealers was the final blow.
Mr.. Thompson based his action upon
the recent ruling Of the Supreme Court,
making the possession Of a United
States revenue license prima facie evil
dence that the holder was retailer Of
liquor.
The State and county tax for this bus
mess is 81 900 a year and when the city
tax of $500 year is piled on, the total
taxation for the operation OF soft"
drink stank in Jackson becomes 81, 800
a year.
MUST PAY LICENSE.
None OF the local dealers could see his
way clear to paying this amount and
then realizing a profit.
Yesterday was the last day of grace
allowed the dealers by the county court
clerk.
If any attempt to open Monday morn
ing without first paying the license their
places will at once be closed by the is
suance OF distress warrants.
The dealers fully understand this pro-
cedure and it is not believed that any
will attempt to defy the courts orders.
The distress warrants have been drawn
up to prepare the court if they should
become necessary.
The number of stands to close was
thirty.
The places were closed quietly. 1t
had been reported that the dealers and
their friends would celebrate the event
by carousal but this did not material
ize.
1t is said that the dealers will yet
make legal fight against the county
court clerks action and should they
fail, it is said that few will pay the
license and reopen their places.
