CITY DADS ALLOW
ENGLISH TO QUIT
Accept Resignation Of the Su-
perintendent of Recreation
Because of No Funds.
HOT FIGHTS SCHEDULED

The city council, by vote OF six
to one, accepted the resignation OF
Superintendent English of the Re-
creation board, after a spirited dis.
cussion over the prospective budget
crisis" Commissioner Butler, origin
ally against the establishment of the
recreation department, voted against
taking snap judgment on the resigna-
ton, believing that when the council
shall sit as board a way might be
found to allow the recreation fund an
increase over the 1916 APPROPRIATION
of $4,000.
Addressing the commissioners, Mr..
English said: "The understanding be-
ing general that the council will have
to retrench on some Of the funds for
1917, and that the recreation fund
would not be increased, | have re-
signed in the best of spirit and with
feeling that | could not continue
the work with justice to myself and
the city without sufficient funds to ex-
tend the work already started"
Not Forced Out.
Questioned regarding rumors that
he had been forced to resign, Mr..
English denied the rumors. He ex-
planned, however, that he and Com
missioner Hummel discussed the
situation Thursday afternoon and
reached an understanding.
Commissioner Hummel explained
that he would insist that the park fund
be fixed at the full maximum of $780,
600 for 1917, instead of $4,000, the
appropriation for this year. He con-
tended that the budget board should
make some allowance for a recreation
fund for 1917, that the park depart
ment might continue the recreation
activities without regular superin-
May Abolish Board.
Acceptance OF the resignation Of
Mr.. English carries with it the prob
ability that the city council will repeal
the ordinance creating the recreation
board and superintendent of recrea-
ton, with the result that Commission
err Hummel, as superintendent of
parks, will be left to, maintain such
recreation activities as his funds will
permit. Mr.. Hummel made no de-
Tense for an increase of the recrea-
ton fund. Mr.. English explained that
if the budget board should find way
to increase the recreation fund he
would be glad to remain as superin-
tendent. The gist of sentiment among
the commissioners, however, did not
spell bright future for the public
recreation department which was es-
tablished a year and half ago when
Mr.. English was engaged.
ITS going to be poor advertise
ment for Omaha to have the word go
out that this city had abandoned its
public recreation department because
of failure to appropriate $4,000 more
for the work" stated Commissioner
Butler.
To Be No Increase.
Mayor Dahlman and Commissioner
Kugel said they did not believe the
fund would be increased.
u don't propose to stand for any
cut in my fund.-" said Commissioner
Parks.
The discussion presaged a struggle
which will be experienced when the
commissioners get together as a budg-
ct board within the next two weeks
Commissioner Parks stated he in
tends to ask for from $4,000 to $751;
600 more for street cleaning and
maintenance than he had this year.
The city planning commission will
ask for $4,000 and that will precipi-
tate a fight.

OVERMAN
FAVORS CHILD LABOR
Says Best Means of Keeping
Children Out of Jail Is to
Keep Them at Work

Washington, Aug. 7.--0ne means of
keeping children out of Jail is to keep
them in cotton mills, according to Sen
ator Overman, of North Carolina, OPP
posing the child labor bill. He sub
mitted figures in the senate today to
prove that fewer children-l4 to 10
are jailed in his state where they are
allowed to work than in 45 other states
Of the Union. Per 100000 the figures
in 1910, he said, were:
Massachusetts, 279; Rhode Island,
100; Missouri, l22; North Carolina,
Is.
Rapping magazine for attacks on his
state, he said:
"What's to become of the children
who work if this bill passes3 Say an
orphan boy is making $40 week and
supporting his widowed mother, would
you pension himi"
He declared the least could be done
was to give the mill owners two years
in which to adjust their plants to the
new conditions.

UNITED PRESS WILL
FURNISH THEM NEWS
Press Cable Service Estab-
Eshed with South Amer
ican Cities

Buenos Ayres, Aug. Long term
contracts were closed here today by
which the United Press service is ex-
tended to South America, with principal
headquarters in the office of La Nacion,
South Americas greatest newspaper.
Coineidentally the Central and South
American Cable company has reduced
the press rate between New York and
South American cities from % cents to
u cents per word.
This deal, which establishes the first
comprehensive news service between the
two continents, was closed by Roy W..
Howard, of New York, president of
the United Press, and Jorge Mitre, pub
Usher of La Nacion. Charles p. Stewart,
formerly European manager of the Uni
ted Press, will be in general charge of
the South American service.
1t is believed here that the closing
of these contracts marks new epoch
in the development of social and COM
mercial relations between North and
South America. Heretofore the princi-
pal newspapers of South America have
received their foreign news from Euro
pean agencies.
The United Press now will cover the
world for South American papers. On
account of cable transmission condi-
tions, much of the service will be filed
direct from the London, Berlin, Paris
and Rome bureaus of the United Press
but a large part of the transmission will
be handled through New York.
