MAL0NEY CASE TO
Be RESUM Ed BY
COUNCIL FRIDAY
Judge Baker, for MaIoney, In
sists Upon an Immediate
',-', Hearing Of the Con.
+ Z 4 HsiFasl. r. stitF- n
''7 spFacy Charges

The city council definitely decided
to resume, hearing of the original
charges against Captain Stephen Ma
loney at 10 a. m. next Friday. 8
Superintendent Kugel reiterated his
position in the matter as explained in
The Bee Monday. He wanted this
hearing postponed until after the
Chadron trial, but the other commits
siouers did not coincide with his
views. a..
Attorney Ben S. Baker, represent
ing Maloney, made the following
statement before the commissioners:
Anxious for Trial.
"We are anxious to go on with this
trial and have it disposed of. Two
of the witnesses have joined the
army and may not be available in the
fall. So much poisonous matter was
allowed to enter into the first part of
the hearing that / don't believe it
would be fair to let the matter rest
with a bad taste in the public mind.
| think we should conhne evidence to
the actual charges against Maloney.
That much is due him. Do one Of
two things: Either dimiss the case
here and now or complete 1t without
any more delay. 1t is evident that not
much evidence has been adddced to
substantiate the charges against Ma
ioney. The real point of the charges
is whether he was connected with the
conspiracy case at Chadron. | insist
we are entitled to a disposition of the
case now"
Commissioner Hummei asked City
Attorney Rine what effect would the
recent ninety-day suspension have on
the unfinished charges, the reply be-
ing that each hearing should stand
on its own merits.
Mrs. Margaret Nelson will COM
plete her testimony and Mrs. Elsie
Phelps, formerly of the Central Bath
institute, will be called to the witness
stand for the first time since the
Omaha end of the affair was opened.
An expected feature of the conelu-
sion of this hearing will be whether
Mrs. Nelson can identity Mrs. Phelps
il she saw the woman detective face
to face. The latter has been keeping
out of Mrs. Nelson's way since the
hearing started, as she contends Mrs.
Nelson wants to get good look at
her"

The great offensive of the regen-
Grated Russian army, initiated under
the leadership of Minister of War
Kerensky in person, is being success
fully pushed. Adyices to the Russian
government declare it is developing
"in an absolutely favorable manner"
The success of the initial thrust in
the new drive by General Brussiloff
in Galicia was beyond question. Cost
ly as it probably was to the Russian
personnel, the taking OF more than
10000 prisoners by the attacking army
in the comparatively narrow sector
affected shows how disastrous 1t must
have been to the enemy.
There remained the question OF
whether the drive could be kept up
with sufficient force to reap the full
advantage of the victory. .4.
While this question does not yet
seem to have definitely decided, the
indications are admitted encouraging.
Ground has been gained beyond the
line of the original attack and the
Russians are advancing in the direc-
ton of Zlochoff. ....
Beyond this today's Russian official
statement shows further heavy losses
inflicted upon the Austro-German
forces, including the capture of some
5000 additional prisoners and twenty
one guns.

SLAMS are pressing, is almost directly

ing qualities of the old-style calomel.
For biliousness, constipation and indi-
gestion, and wherever calomel is essen
tial. the new de-nauseated calomel tab
let is a practically perfect remedy.
To inspire public confidence in this
new discovery the manufacturers have
authorized druggists everywhere to re-
fund the price if the customer is not
perfectly delighted" with Calotabs. Sold
only in original packages, sealed, twenty
doses for thirty-five cents. One tablet

NJ ADOO MAKES PLEA
FOR MEN IN ARMY
AND BOND ISSUE
Secretary Declares Many
Claims for Exemption Are
Made Because of No Pro-
vision for Dependents
BY W. q. M'ADOo.
Secretary of the Treasury.

The number of claims for exemption
from military duty under the Selective
service law has caused a painful i'm
preston in many quarters. but after
all, does not the fact that no provision
has yet been made by the government
for the support of the wives and chill
dren, mothers or fathers, of the men
who have been selected explain many of
these claims for exemption?
Under the law the government has
the power to REQUIRE every able-bodied
man between 81 and 81 years of age to
perform military duty. Thousands of
the selected men are wage-earners who
married years ago and are the sole sup
port of dependent families So long as
the government has made no provision
for the care of these dependents, it is
natural that such men should seek to
protect their loved ones by staying at
home. 1 am sure that if the congress
should promptly enact the pending war
insurance bill, which makes definite al
lowances for the support of the depend
ent wives and children, fathers or moth
ers, of our soldiers and sailors, claims
for exemption on that score will cease.
This is an imperative duty of the gov
eminent We cannot deprive helpless
women and childreQAof the support of
the wage-earner by forcing him into the
military service of the country unless
the government substitutes itself as
their support
Imagine the emotions of the man who
Is called into the military service of his
country with full knowledge that his
loved ones are left without means of
support and may be reduced to want
unless the nation comforts the man in
which they live comes to their relief
1t would be nothing less than a crime
for rich and just government to treat
its fighting men so heartlessly and to
subject their dependent wives and chill
dren, who are unable to fight, to greater
suffering than if they could fight
The morale of an army is as essential
to its effective fighting power as guns,
ammunition and other instrumentalities
of war. OF equal Importance is the
morale of the civil population which
must support the armies ~ the field.
We cannot have this essential morale
unless the anton comforts the men in
the ranks with the knowledge that ev-
erything possible will be done for them
and their families, and renders to the
civil population at home the assistance
which will make 1t most effective in up
holding the government and the fighting
forces.
SECURES SOLDIERS FUTURE
The purpose of the war insurance biU
now pending in the congress is to Sc
cure the future of Americas soldiers
and sailors by insuring their lives and
providing adequate compensations and
indemnities for loss of life and total
or partial permanent disability; also to
protect their families against poverty
and want by providing them with sufi-

.REQUIS|TION OF COAL
OUTPUT IS PROBABLE
COURSE Of PRESIDENT
1t Generally Is Conceded That
Only Prompt Action Can
Stay Fuel Famine in Some
Sections

WASHINGTON. Aug. IS.-Indications
that the government is preparing to take
control or the coal industry strength
ened today when President Wilson paid
a visit to the federal trade commits
sion and went over with it's members
estimates of coal production, costs and
recommendations for dealing with the
situation completed by the commission
last night after months of investiga-
ton.
Definite action to reduce prices TO the
consumer and to bring about a better
distribution, it was learned after the
conference. will be taken early next
week
Before going TO the trade commits
sion the president called on Herbert
Hoover. named TO administer the food
act, in which are provisions for con-
troll of coal. and later he went to see
Attorney General Gregory. He also call
ed at the offices of Judge Robert S. Low
ett. of the war industries board, who. 1t
is understood. will be given powers vest
ed in the executive in a recent law gov
erning priority of railroad shipments.
The trade commissions report was
to have gone to the White House this
afternoon. but when the president learn
ed il had been completed he suggested
a conference. When he. left the COM
missions offices he carried the report
with him, and will study il over Sunday.
The president is deeply concerned
over the coal situation. Even representa-
tives of the operators admit that parts
OF the country face a shortage this win
ter, and from the public complaints
are pouring in that prices are out of all
reason. The fact that several govern
ors are threatening to take over the in
dustry I'm their states is prompting
early federal action.
Three courses are open to the presi-
dent Under the food bill he may fix
prices at the mines and to consumers,
or he may direct some government
agency to requisition the output of all
mines. selling il to the public. The
third course would contemplate a vol
untary agreement by operators to sell
at a fair price. with the government
directing distribution.
REQUISITION COAL.
Officials who have followed the sit
uation most closely believe the presi-
dent will direct the requisitioning OF
all coal mined. This. IL is understood,
is the recommendation of the trade
commission. The food bill provisions
empower the president TO direct any
government agency to perform the
task. Under the provision the govern
ment would control shipment, distri-
button and apportionment.
The trade commission, 1t is under
