Reagan is Friend
To City; he Admits
It, Then Collects

After listening to an impassioned
address by former State Senator
Reagan, the city council allowed
Harold Overlook SIS with which to
buy a new overcoat to replace gar
ment damaged when an automobile
in which he was riding struck a heap
Of city material.
Assistant City Attorney TePoel adj
vised the council that the damage to
the overcoat was only a few grease
spots and he recommended rejection
of the claim, but when the former
state senator told the commissioners
that he was so friendly to them that
he persuaded Mr.. Overlook to file
claim for only $35 for the overcoat
instead of damage suit for $4,000
for personal injuries, the claim was
allowed.

JOHN PESEK WILL
EXHIBIT IN OMAHA
Buffalo County Mat Marvel
Will Work in Semi Windup
at Stockholders Go.
HELD cADDocK OFF HOUR

Omaha graphing fans are to be
given an opportunity to cast their
critical orbs over the person of John
Pesek, the Bohemian lad who sprang
up recently out in Buffalo county and
has been cutting such swarth
around Shelton and Ravenna Pesek
will wrestle in the semi-windup event
at the Joe Stecher- Charlie Peters
tangle at the Omaha Auditorium
February 9. His opponent has not
yet been determined.
The attention of Nebraska wrest-
ling fans was first directed to young
Mr.. Pesek last fall He had done a
little wrestling before last fall, but
not great deal, but when the season
opened in October he got away to a
flying start and has been making
considerable noise ever since.
Peseks greatest achievement was
to stand Earl CaddocR off for an
entire hour. Caddock went out to
Shelton to wrestle Peters handicap
go. Earl guaranteed to throw Pesek
twice in an hour. Not only did Earl
fail to throw the Buffalo county man
twice in an hour, but he failed to
throw him at all. Pesek won the
handicap hands down. Any wrestler
who can stand Caddock off for an
hour is, some wrestler, and when To-
cal mat fans heard of his achievement
they promptly voted him another real
Nebraskan. NJ IS.
Pesek is only youngster and is
still pretty green. He only weighs
1856 pounds, so that he has to give
weight to most of the heavyweights
he meets. Out in Buffalo county,
around Sheldon and Ravenna, they
are convinced he is a coming cham
pion. rs ~ .,.~
When the Stockholders match
was scheduled for February 9, friends
of Pesek got in communication with
the Omaha promoters and asked that
Pesek be matched with some good
man in the semi-windup, so that the
state metropolis could see for itself
that Nebraska has turned out another
wrestler who is going to make a
name for himself.

PENN COACH WILL
FIGHT TO KEEP JOB
Robert G. Folwen, Dropped by
Faculty, Says He Will Not.
Quit Under Fire.
STUDENTS CALL MEETING

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 30.-A call
for mass meeting to protest against
the action of the faculty committee
of the University of Pennsylvania in
refusing to sanction the reappoint-
ment of Robert c. Folwell as head
coach of the foot ball team, has been
issued by a committee of students.
Bert Bell, quarterback of the Quaker
eleven, declared the team was for
Folwell ito a man." and that petit
ton would be circulated asking the
committee to reconsider its action.
Folwell was indignant when he
learned of the faculty committees
attitude.
81 have known for some time" he
said, that the faculty committee was
opposed to re-engaging me as coach,
but felt that in some way the mat
ter could be adjusted. Now that they
have seen fit to make their repudia-
ton of my name public | am going to
fight the matter to finish.
"Dr. Goodspeed says | am not &C
ceptable. Why? l challenge any
man in the world to prove that my
actions during the last season have
reflected on the University of Penn
sylvania in any way.
"If Penn is through with me, l am
through with foot ball, but I am not
going to quit under fire."
He declared that the recent Cali
fornia trip of the Pennsylvania team
was more of lark" for the men
than anything else, and said he is
sorry now that he took the trip.
Folwell came to Pennsylvania last
year from Washington and Jefferson
college.

BLIZZARD AIDS IN
RAISING BLOCKADE
Union I Pacific Tracks Again
Cleared After Six Hours of
Heavy Wind from West.
TRAINS GETTING THROUGH

The Union Pacific is again in the
clear and trains are running on sched-
ule, according to information given
out at the Office OF General Mana
ger letters, The blizzard that struck
the Wyoming division again Mon
day night was of short duration, not
continuing more than six hours.
There was some new snow and
high wind, but after the storm sub
sided, shortly after midnight, the line
was quickly cleared and in the morn
ing trains went onto regular carded
time.
During the storm the wind over
the blizzard area blew from the west
and after it reached its greatest velo-
city it had much to do with clearing
pu the blockade.
c. J. Lane, general freight agent,
is authority for the statement that
the latest blizzard out on the Union
Pacific was of variety similar to
one that blew across the country
some years ago, when Ed Dickinson
was general manager and took hand
in bucking snow.
To Secure an Army.
On one of the long stretches OF
rough country through Wyoming a
passenger train became stalled in a
long, deep cut. The superintendent
of the Wyoming division wired the
fact to Dickinson, who Immediately
wired back orders to pick up all the
available men and rush them to the
scene of the blockade, using special
trains for carrying them.
At the same time Dickinson had
special train made up in the Omahx
yards and in his private car, attached
to the rear, started for the blockade
Reaching there he found the track
clear and no indications of there hav-
ing been any storm trouble. Talking
with his superintendent, whom he
met that evening at Laramie, he was
informed that between the time Of
sending the wire and the time of
reaching the storm-stricken district
the wind had changed and had COM
menced blowing lengthwise instead of
across the cut. The wind increased
in velocity and soon cleared the cut
of snow, permitting the train to move
out. 1t is figured that this is about
what occurred Monday night and that
the wind aided in raising the block

DrugIess HeaIers Want
Their Interests Protected

Leaders in the drugless healing
professions in Omaha have asked the
Nebraska legislature to create new
standing committee. They want their
interests to receive consideration by
members who are laymen and not
medical doctors.
A communication to this effect has
been addressed to the legislature, de-
claring, among other things:
THE physicians Of the so-ealled
regular school should be relieved
from the odium of passing by COM
mittee vote upon measures in which
they are presumed to have selfish
interest
"The rank and file of the common
people are in favor of medical free
dom, and while they have no desire
to overturn existing conditions by
drastic legislation, they do desire that
no further encroachments be made
upon the liberty of the citizen to
select the healing method of his
choice.
while the subjects as they arise,
that should be referred to this COM
mittee may be diverse, it will be
found that they have a common in
terest in that a designed phraseology
becomes of vast importance not only
to the individuals composing the
schools favored or Disseminated
against, but what is of vastly more
importance, the citizen will find it i'm
possible to enjoy the benefits of the
law without sacrificing his cherished
beliefs"

MAYOR DAHLMAN Is
ENJOINED FOREVER
City's Gear May Cavort in the
Muny Car Only On Strictly
Official Business.
JUDGE LESLIE so ORDERS

The Dahlman automobile case is
now history.
If he ever Tolls back upon the cush-
ions OF a city-owned car again it will
be the performance Of what the dis
trict court defines as Strictly official
business"
For Judge Leslie has issued a per-
manent injunction restraining Mayor
Jim from using cars owned by the
city for anything save this same
strictly. official business" as previ-
ously decreed in the temporary order.
The Dahlman suit harks back to the
time last fall when James D. Murphy,
a South Side boilermaker, brought
suit in district court against Mayor
Dahlman, the city commissic ners and
the city comptroller, asking that
Omahas chief executive be enjoined
from using the car purchased for him
by the municipality for alleged JOY
rides.
No Personal Rides.
After a bitterly fought case, Judge
Leslie issued temporary restraining
order in favor of Murphy, who said
that he represented taxpayers in gen.
eral. 1t was brought out in the ties.
timony that the mayors cars, since
the first one was purchased in 1912
have cost the city more than $4,000
including upkeep, garage bills and
chauffeur's salary. Counsel for Muir
ply argued that his mayorship used
the official machine .or his own per.
sonal calls and other personal motor
jaunts.t
When Murphy's attorneys asked
that the restraining order be made
permanent the city legal talent re.
belled and the court fight was started
afresh. The case came up for hear
ing last week, Judge Leslie withhold
ing his decision.
What Mayor Knows.
City Attorney Rine at the hearing
for permanent injunction had asked
that Judge Leslie define in his final
decision the official duties of the
mayor. Judge Leslie in issuing the
permanent injunction said that it did
not feel that that was necessary, add
ing that the mayor should know what
are official duties and what are not.
Attending Improvement club meet
ings, receptions and banquets are not
official duties, Judge Leslie decreed.
In addition to permanently restraining
the mayor from using the city-owned
car for anything but just Official bust
ness" the judge also restrained the
city comptroller and city commits
sioners from granting any warrants
for chauffeur's salary for the same.
