DOMESTIC COURT
OPENED IN OMAHA
Family Differences that FIRE.
quently Break Up Homes
to Be Adjusted.
HELP M1sMATED COUPLES

A court Of domestic relations was
established in Omaha yesterday by
Police Judge R. ]. Madden. He did
this on his own initiative.
The object OF the court will be to
keep domestic disputes out OF the
public court. The sessions Of the do
nestle relations court will be private.
I'VE shall try to bring husband and
wife together and settle their differ
ences before formal complaint is is
sued" said Judge Madden. This can
be done In many cases. Where it
cannot the regular court procedure
will be followed.
I'm many cases wives undergo mis-
treatment and hardship almost un-
bearable from inconsiderate husbands,
and they endure this for years, be-
cause they shrink from the publicity
of court action. In many such cases
by advice and assistance unhappy
homes can be made happy.
MANY unhappy marriages are
caused by the husband not taking
his responsibilities seriously. He
squanders his money, or is lazy,
drunken or Indifferent. Often a SER
ious heart-to-heart talk with such
man will make a good husband of
him, and the home which was in
danger of being wrecked is made
happy" ri
The new court, which is an in
novation in Omaha, will hold Its ses-
sions at the police station in the aft
ernoon. 1t will not attempt to deal
with the more serious problems, such
as wife abandonment, which come
under the jurisdiction OF the criminal
courts H. 20 4a

DELAYS EXPLAINED
BY RAILWAY CLERK
Poor Mail Service, He Says, Is
Fault Of Man at Head of
the Service.
POOREST IN HISTORY

A letter to The Bee, signed by "A
Railway Mail Clerk" gives few "in.
side tips" and some information on
mail delays and poor service. A foot.
note to the letter explains that "our
gag rule prevents signing name"
adding that "the letter is proof that
these mails are withdrawn in spite of
all denials on the part OF the superior
office, for such letters as these are
merely for postal employees.
1T has been some time since the
delays and poor mail service have
been brought before the public eye"
the letter continues. "Since then the
ak of the postmaster general has
again fallen on several OF the shorter
lines in our home state, by taking
service off and putting closed pouch
service in its place, in spite of our
protests and of our congressman. 1t
has now come to the point where
nothing but daily papers and letters
are to be carried on mail trains,
everything else being taken off from
connecting mail trains and rehandled
and reworked in these terminals.
For instance, party in Chicago
sending a common piece of parcel
post matter to some point in Idaho,
instead of making direct connection
with our westbound mail train out of
Omaha, it has to be reworked and
leaves Council Bluffs from twenty
four to forty-eight hours later. 1t is
this class of mail, circulars and print
ed matter, from which the depart
ment derives great share of its reve-
nue., and still it is known among the
higher officials as trash at least that
is what it is named by them.
Many Men Quitting.
THE fact of the matter is that
there are so many of the boys quit
ting that intimidation has taken place
on the part OF our superior officers,
cautionng the clerks that we are
working under military rule and lay
ourselves liable by resigning, al
though this did not stop a number of
clerks IN Chicago from resigning,
where mail congestion is so great
that il no more mail were received it
would take from four to six weeks
with full force to clean it all up.
Again, the Space paying business has
wrought havoc with California mails,
IS usually all the California mail is
taken off the train to be revoked.
Next day it is reloaded and if more is
accumulated than the car will hold it
is left ever again, and so on until a
light day it may leave the terminal
all at one time.

Omaha pried off the lid of the hom'
base ball season yesterday under cir
cumstances which only could be calico
suspicious because Omaha captured
the event. 2 to |. There was nothing
suspicious about anything else.
The weather man Monday promised
neat and nifty weather for Tuesday
Then he double-crossed Rourke by
passing out a brand that might be the
occasion for much joy in the vicinity
of the north pole, but fitted in per-
fectly to augment the wounded feel
ngs Of Omaha ON this very sad May
day.
The cold easily won the decision
over the fans and the Capper cup will
go elsewhere this year. The total
paid attendance could not have ex-
ceeded 1000, and those who did brave
the elements to prove their loyalty
and devotion to the team that brought
a pennant to Rourkeville almost froze
to death waiting for the ninth inning
to end.
The ground was in poor shape and
at first sight one would have deemed
it necessary to equip the athletes with
canoes, but despite the mud and
heavy going both teams put up good
article of ball.
The fray was pitchers duel be-
tween Marty O'Toole and Tony
Faeth, and Marty breasted the tape
first. He allowed the Miners but six
scattered hits and when they did as
semble three in bunch in the fourth
frame retired the side without score.
Krug Hits Double.
For three rounds the Rourkes failed
to get even nibble at the assortment
of slants dished up by Mr.. Faeth. In
the fourth, however, Manager Krug'
ripped off screaming double to right
and Shag Thompson followed with a
single to left. Earl Smith lofted a
long scrifce fly to Dalton, scoring
krug. The fly was so long no attempt
was made to double Marty at the rub
Der.
Joplin evened the count in the sixth
when Lindamore completed the cir
cult on one play. He reefed double
to center for starter and tried to
stretch it into a triple. Shag Thomp-
son started the throw, but Krug in
RELAXING it along beaned Lindamore
with the ball. The pill rolled into
the coop and Lindamore trotted home.
Bradley Triples.
Omaha put the winning run over
in the home half of the same inning.
With two down, Earl Smith shot a
drive to left and scooted home on Big
Bill Bradley's three-ply blow to right. |
Omaha and Joplin are scheduled to |
clash again this afternoon, starting at |
3:1S.

Why?

When you do not relish your food
it is well TO inquire the reason why.
Your stomach may be deblitated
your liver torpid, your bowels consti-
pated, or you may be eating too much.
Many people eat more than they
should, particularly those of middle
age or older, and those of sedentary
habits. If your lack of appetite or
relish for your food arises from either
of these causes, correct your habits
and take few doses OF Chamberlain's
Tablets. They will do you good, give
you better appetite and make you
feel better.

game with the Giants. No other
major league player has ever played
so many games without taking a day

niche of fame in the base bali world
Last year Burns was the leading
scorer in the National league. In
the last seven games of the current
season he has scored nine runs-a
remarkable achievement. In his 320th
game he made three hits off Alexand-
