S. 0. PLANTS RUN
SHORT OF WATER
0'Hearn Tells How it Was Necessary
to Use Water from the Fire
Reservoirs.
PLANTS ARE OFTEN SHUT DOWN

Astonishing revelations OF lack OF water
in the various packing houses Of South
Omaha and the Union stock yards under
the regime Of the Omaha Water company
and later the Omaha Water board we're
made In federal court by John f. O'Hearn,
superintendent OF the Armour plant for
thirteen years prior to 1912, and now
with the saline company in chicago
He was a witness the suit of the Omaha
Water board against the city Of south
Omaha. the Union stock Yards company
and the packing plants TO prevent the
defendant corporations from continuing
&c use the streets of South Omaha for
the mains of their water plant, which
they built after they were unable to get
sufficient water from the Omaha water
works.
I'VE often had to shut down the plant
! entirely for lack of water" said MIR.
O'Hearn. AT such times we sometimes
Lad much live stock on hand. and this
had TO be fed. Sometimes the water
gave out entirely when washing Of the
carcasses was going on and they lad TO
be put in the cooling rooms without
washing.
Use Up Fire water,
we even used UP the water in our
fire reservoir. We used to draw all the
water out of this during the day for
operating purposes and then fill II up
at night, OF course we were supposed
to keep this reservoir full all the time.
! and IL the inspectors of the insurance
companies had discovered the practice
1 don't know what we'd have done for
water.
Il remember one occasion when all our
water was gone and there was no pres
! sure at all from the city mains We
connected our house pumps to the city
mains and pumped but there was no
water at all in the Mains"
Lewis Branstad. master mechanic for
Swift's, gave testimony to the same ef-
feet.
Charles w. Martin. an insurance man,
told of the protracted negotiations be-
| tween the packing companies and the
underwriters regarding the water famine
and the final installation of an inter-
locking water system in the yards so
that all the pumps of the several packing
plans could be used to supply pressure

TWO GOOD BILLS AT
 THE LYRIC THIS WEEK
Bert Levy, the Artist Entertainer, Will Headline First and Five
 Statues the Second

A performance that is entirely unique and along lines peculiar to itself is that which will be offered by Bert Levy, ''the famous artist entertainer.'' at the Lyric this week. MT Levy's act will headline clever bill for the first half of the week For the latter part of the week five excellent acts have been secured with the Five Statues. as the principal draw ing card. All in all. the bill promises to be the most entertaining that has been of fered at the Lyric this season.
 Bert Levy is a wonder, and his act is highly entertaining. It furnishes to. the audience an opportunity to watch the art ist at work and observe every line as it Is drawn. The evolution of characters Is an interesting study to the artist or to the layman, MT. Levy has highly de- veloped sense of humor, plainly discernible in his work. He treats on subjects of momentary interest in politics, society and the like, and his knack of depicting types of all sorts is most striking.
 Aileen Stanley. 'sthe girl with the per sonality,'' will be another big feature of the first bill at the Lyric this week. Miss Stanley sings character songs in a way that has made her famous as vaude- vile star. f.ss s st,
 Adelaide Boothby, who will put on a singing. talking and whistling act is particularly charming bit of feminnity. and as implied by the announcement of
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-09-26

her act. is IS versatile as she Is charm ing. All of Miss Boothby's material was written for her by Charles Everdean, who assists her during her performance, presiding at the piano. not only as an accompanist, but as a soloist as we'll.
 Lambs Mankins, impersonating well known stars will be one of the big fea- lures. and McRae will fill out the bill for the first half of the week. se'
 The Five Statues, the leading act for the last half of the week, is noteworthy both because of it's skin and the artistic manner in; which it is presented. The five statues are dressed in pure white tights and powdered wigs, that in ap- pearance they resemble marble statuary. In this attire in front of black velvet curtain. they offer a series of poses, after which they accomplish feats of strength and acrobatic skill.
 Pierre Pelletier & Co. will present a clever sketch entitled The 10:4O Vest" Two feminine crooks, blackmailers, and detective, are the characters in thrill- ing little play full of tense situations, eff fective lines and clever acting. The de- feat of the plans of the crooks by De- tective Kendall and the clever denoue- ment of the playlet wins unlimited ap- plause.
 Helen Davis. clever Helen Davis, who for the past two seasons has been ap- earing as Youth in 'Everywoman," is back in vaudeville and will appear at the Lyric on the last half of next week 5 bill.
 A clever act by Bert Sheppard & Co.,, and an equally entertaining sketch by Clayton & I<enne will fill out good bill.
 In addition to the five special acts at each performance, the popular Pathe Weekly and Heeza Liar feature films will be shown.

INSECT WARRIORS

From Pearson's Weekly
 If news from the East African coast can be relied on. the Germans have even enlisted insects to aid them in their re- sistance to British arms
 It is asserted that they collected and confined swarms of wild bees, and that, when the Indian and native contingents of our forces attacked, the insects were let loose upon them. The consequence was quite number of the men were sverely stung, some of them fatally
 More than once in the course of the South African war locusts did the Brit ish very good turn. One day while the Household cavalry composite regiment was out, an overwhelming force of the enemy, from whom there seemed little chance of escaping, was seen approach ing.
 At this critical moment, however. the sky was suddenly darkened by an im- mense swarm of locusts which fell be- tween the troopers and the Boers. con- ceallng the former from view The con sequence was that the enemy could not locate the cavalry and fired at random, wounding only two men. Screened by the locusts, the horsemen galloped safe ly back to camp.
 On another occasion a cloud of these insects gave a number of southern Rho desian volunteers a bit of a scare On an armored train they had gone about S miles in the direction of Mafeking. when they noticed what seemed to be a dense cloud of dust
 They made sure that a large number of mounted men were advancing, and immediately stood to arms But the next

LOVERS ANDLUNATICS TO BE AT MAJESTIC
Another Clever Musical Comedy to Be Presented By Guy Voyer
 and His Associates

If there ever was clever musical comedy, it Is Lovers and Lunatics' which will be presented at the Ma jestic next week by the Boyle Wool | folk LaSalle Musical Comedy company In fact to say that this play is clever is putting 1t mildly, it Is indeed amaz- ingly amusing.
 Rollicking. Hitting song numbers tunes, and pretty girls will afford in this offering an attraction un- equaled for musical comedy qualities. merely made for the benefit of those few who have not already seen the Boyle Woolfolk company in one of their clever musical comedies. For those who have seen the company 1t is not necessary to refer to the beauty of the girls. for this company has a chorus of the best timber to be found in musical comedy. and certainly in popular priced musical comedy In addition to their good looks they are clever singers, and the chorus numbers are always one of the big features. Lovers and Lunatics" is a musical version of runaway match."s The music was written by Rice & Wool folk. and the play is staged by Guy Voyer, the clever musical comedy ar
 
 tist. who has done so much to make the Boyle Woolfolk company the popu- lar institution that 1t Is with Bir- mingham theatregoers.
 Lovers and Lunatics" Is filled with .tuneful song numbers. among them be- ing Never too Old to Love- which will be sung by Harrfe Lee. and Joe Woods; Tango On the Farm, ,'s by Joe Reilley and Minnie Pillard and chorus Night Time in Dixie, Charlie Chap lin Walk" by Guy Voyer~ and chorus and The Pick of the Family" quar- tette speciality S',4
 These are just a few of the wonder ful song hits which have helped to make Lowers and 'Lunaticsp the popu- lar play that 1t Is. <.
 All of those old favorites will have take. the part of Leonard Ciaxton. and other members of the company will be equalIy well cast.

 moment the stand easy" was ordered
 and the train directly afterward steamed
 leisurely back to the place from whence
 it had come. It afterward transpired
 that the enemy sighted was an enor-
 nous cloud of locusts
 Talking of insects as warriors, an amaz- ing proposition was once supm:ited to the French minister of war by a pro-
 lessor at one of the leading colleges in
 Paris. It was that large blow flies should | be bred and kept in cages. where they should be fed on blood placed between the artificial skin of dummy figures dressed up in the enemys uniform. When war had been declared the in- sects were to be fed on the sap of cer- tain tropical plants in order to make them venomous. Then, conveyed to the front. they could be released from their cages to make short work of the enemy. In South Africa our soldiers have in | more than single instance been charged by lions, with bad results for the king of beasts.
 This is remindful of a proposal not long since submitted by a Belgian to the war department of his country. In effect, 1t was that a large number of lions and tigers should be kept in state Of star vation for several days and then let loose in the direction of the enemy's lines in the darkness of the night He appears to have overlooked the pos sibility of the famished creatures pre- ferring to hunt for prey In the opposite direction.
 Dogs as combatants formed the brilliant idea submitted to the war m.n.sser of France. The originator of it suggested that the intelligent cannes should be trained to attack and bite dummy fig ures arrayed in the uniform of the foe. | On the field of battle every soldier
 could be accompanied by one of those | animals, which would at once rush for the enemy, the advance being rendered invisible by the firing of some substance

"WITHIN THE LAWv AT
 THE BIJOU THIS WEEK
Bayard veiller's Play To Be Present. ed By Grayce Scott Players.
 Entire Company Cast

As an extraordinary attraction at the bi1ou theatre this week, the Gracye Scott company will present Bayard Veiller' s thrilling American drama, within the Law of which local theatregoers have heard and read a great deal and which, on its previous presentations in this city at higher prices, scored a sensational suc- cess. It's performance this week will pre- sent an acting organization of real strength, and will for the first time this season show the Grayce Scott company in Its entirety, while the elaborate scenic adornment will amply maintain the hign standard of artistic excellence of the Grayce Scott players
 Within the Law which exerts an ai- most irresistable appeal, is aptly described as drama of daring Tn which the heroine IS forced to begin warfare upon the law to protect herself from its machinations Mary Turner, the central character, is lalsely accused of theft of goods from tho establishment in which she is em- ployed and sentenced to three years i'm prisonment.

FIELDS MINISTRIES
 TO OPEN JEFFERSON
Bryan and Roosevelt Characters, and Mexican Situation Motif of Clever
 Satire He Will Present

Bryan and Roosevelt are the char acters, the Mexican situation the mo- tif, and side thrusts are taken at the war in Europe, in "Auntie Skinner's Chicken Dinner Party" Al G. Fields greater minstrels, which will be seen at the Jefferson theatre on October 4 and 5. and a matinee on the fifth.
 This section of the minstrel show is three-scene satire. garnshed with music and bursting with broad fun, and hot shots at the national events or the hour Bryan appears with his dove of peace and his jug of grape Juice, wanting to know why an inves- ugatlon hasn't been started and want ing to tell all how universal peace can be obtained lie is hardly upon the scene befure Roosevelt makes an ap- pearance literally weighted down with guns and snorting his policies and be- liefs
 These dignitaries together with am passadors from all nations have ae- cepted the invitation Of Auntie Skin her, an amiable old colored lady, who wishes 10 entertain them with a chicken dinner The gathering has neen Tor the purpose of settling the trouble in Mexico, but when it is dis covered that the chickens have been stolen, General Blunkins (played by Bert Sworj, is held to account, and. Is tried. After a mock legal proceeding, iuil of bright repartee, the prisoner is allowed to go free.
 Then Bryan, advocate of peace, be- comes rampant fighter and Roose- Welt, exponent of strenuosity, makes a plea for peace. The gun goes on to a remarkable climax This is when a pull rushes on, and Bryan, erstwhile chautauqua speaker is shown in the guise of matadore. fVf
 The setting of the production is novel, the first showing a chicken farm oy moonlight, where a number of thieves are trying to purloin the fowls. The second part shows General Bluff kins and his men. who have a con- tract to furnish chickens for the din- her, trying to raid the hencoops and escape in an automobile The entire company appears in the roles of for eign dignitaries who attend "Auntie1 Skinners chicken dinner party" It's a big burlesque upon current events and goes with a dash and vim that sets a pace that creates a lot of fun

In an intense scene the guilty man final ly confesses, partly because of nervous strain. and partly because of his love for the girl. From this point the play is a series of artful and sinewy scenes, and reaches a climax that is fairly nerve gripping in it's dramatic intensity.
 The part of Mary Turner will offer Miss Scott splendid opportunity. to demon strate her req. ability as an actress. but MIss Scott is not the only one we'll pro- vided for In this remarkable play, every part is such as to call forth the best effort of every member of the entire cast.

 Another suggestion for the employment of animals as combatants was the col lection of a herd of 1000 elephants.
