To Standardize the
Different Highways

The State Advisory Highway COM
mission is receiving a large number
OF requests from officers Of different
highways asking that the ensignia
and routes be accepted. Quite q num-
Der OF these highways, prior to the

purpose is to standardize the ensignia
used, including the color scheme,
method OF marking, ETC., so that the
different auto routes may be Off
cially passed upon by the commits
sion. Once decided upon, the ensig-
MIA and the route are protected under
the law of the state.
The members Of the State Highway
commission stand ready to 60 over
the routes in which there is any dis
pute and to examine the showing
made, including maps made by the
highway associations. DR.. G. E. Con-
dra OF the conservation and soil sur

and State Engineer Johnson is secre-
tary. All communications relating to
the duties Of this organization should

BROKAW HELD ON
WIFE'S COMPLAINT
Investigation of Woman sleuth
Results in His Arrest on
Statutory Charge.
WOMAN IS ALSO IN CUSTODY

Charles J. Brokaw. auto salesman,
was arrested Sunday on statutory
charge sworn to by his wife and is held
in Jail. He was arrested at his resi-
dence, 27lo Dewey avenue, by police
Officers Brinkman and Walker. A
woman, Sue Hotter of Detroit, was
arrested with Brokaw and is held in
Jail on the same charge, The arrests
are the result of an investigation by
woman detective of Detroit, who re-
fused to give her name to newspaper
men.
According to statements made by
Mrs. Brokaw, who came here yester-
day from Detroit in response to a
telegram by her detective, her hus-
band left Detroit several months ago
after they had disagreed concerning
domestic matters and had come to
Omaha, leaving her, she charged,
without means Of support. After his
arrival here he agreed, she stated, to
pay her 500 month alimony, which,
she says, he failed to do after the first
month. Brokaw's wife charges he
has continued to stay in Omaha,
changing his address several times in
an effort to throw her detective off
his trail. .
Determined to locate her husband,
Mrs. Brokaw hired a private woman
detective in Detroit and sent her to
the city to report her husbands
movements. Upon her arrival in
Omaha the detective rented rooms, in
the vicinity Of those occupied by

The cause OF the unusual stir around
the armory was due to the fact that
the members OF the Omaha companies
had been appraised Of the fact that
President Wilson and the secretary OF
war had ordered the mobilization oil

after the news had been received in
Omaha it filtered out through the city
and within q remarkably short time
the members of the Omaha companies
gathered at the armory, or telephoned
in asking for information as to when
they would be called upon to start
south.
Great Night for the Guards.
II was great night for TIN guard.
and while they gathered about the
big room and in little groups, they
discussed what they would do to the
