City Commissioner Kugel during a
meeting of the city council commit
tee of the whole fired several broad
sides at Commissioner Butler, alleg-
ing that the superintendent Of the ac-
counts and finance department, if cor
rectly quoted in public print, has been
careless Of his facts.
The row referred to statements Of
the accounts of the city emergency
hospital on Douglas street. Mr.. XII
gel explained that detailed reports
were on file in his office and had been
checked and audited by Mr.. Buffers
clerks and found to be correct,
+. IF Mr.. Butler believes detailed re-
ports should be sent to the council
as well as to his office why did he
not say so to US, instead of making
SO much fuss about it2' asked Mr..
Kugel.
A little byplay was injected when
Mr., Butler remarked he had received
scant courtesy from Health Commits
sioner Cornell, to which Mr.. Kugel
replied: Remember that Cornell is

War Nurse Plays
April Fool Joke
On the Guardsnen

A neatly dressed girl. about II
years old, approached a group of or
derlies off duty who were lettering in
chairs by the window in front of the
National Guard recruiting station
Sunday afternoon. ,
Wont YOU" she said, addressing
Corporal Guy Buckles, champion
prize fighter of the Fourth regiment,
please tell me how ! can become a
war nursei ! want to help so bad"
she added, whimsically.
Here" she said, turning to the
group of soldiers before the corporal
could answer her question, won't
you have some chocolates | made
especially for your"
They all took one, even Lieutenant
Heffner Of the supply company, who
overheard her last remark.
II hope you enjoy it." she added
Did | say | made it today? o, yes,
today is April Il"
The center of each OF the choco-
lates was filled with cayenne pepper.
After the well dressed pirl had dis
appeared and the soldiers had wiped
the tears from their eyes, they good
naturally admitted that it was the
best April fool joke they had ever
been caught on.

Spring Wheat for Seed
Still is Beinq Ordered

There is still some spring wheat
going out into the state for seed, but
the large shipments are practically
over. There are yet to arrive from
Minnesota some five cars, but gener-
ally this will go out in small lots.
So far as the Omaha Grain ex-
change Is concerned, as an organize
ton, 1000 bushels have been sent to
the country in carload lots. In addi-
ton many shipments have been made
in smaller quantities, running the
total up to above 1900 bushels.
Orders are still coming in for ship
ments Of spring wheat, but it is be-
lieved that the heavy demand is over.
Farmers, as a rule, feel that by the
time the wheat could reach them it
would be too late for seeding

To Give Kugel Full
Authority to Run
. All the Pool Halls

City Commissioner Kugel told the
city council he will not assume re-
sponsibility for the action of the city
council in cases where the. commits
sioners have vote and they act
against his recommendation The
case in point involved the revocation
of the license of pool hall operated
by James Vosiloff at 2g29 Q street.
III you are not going to stand
with me on these recommendations,
| may as we'll quit. In this case, the
proprietor of the pool hall was con-
victed and fined in the South Side po-
lice court for permitting gambling
in his place. ! have brought you the
evidence and here is my recommends
tion," said Mr.. Kugel with unusual
seriousness.
Being fined in police court would
cut no ice with me-" replied Mayor
Dahlman, who was alone in contend
ing that this license should not be re-
voked. All except the mayor support
ed Mr., Kugel. rs 7 M
An ordinance governing pool halls
provides that in the case of convic-
tion in police court the superintend-
ent of police shall. suspend the license
and the council shall review the case
as to whether the suspension should
be made permanent
Commissioner Hummel secured
adoption of a resolution that the
superintendent OF police shall bring
in an ordinance to give his department
full jurisdiction over pool halls and
thus eliminate the present joint re-
sponsibility in revocation of licenses.

opened some of his mail and found
he'd been sending money"
Reporters were stopped on the

the rumor. 1t flew from mouth to

TriAing Thing Like
Divorce Didn't Worry

A long, lean. lanky son of Ham
approached Curly" Belew at the
marriage license counter yesterday
afternoon and made his wants known
in a deep bass voice. "Ah wants
license to marry dis yere lady" he
said. Alright" said Mr.. Belew,
"just fill out the blank" The man
did so and handed it back while the
girl was looking at the ceiling.
The negro had omitted one an
swer to a question. II will have to
know whether this woman you want
to marry has ever been married
before" Mr.. Belew informed him.
"Yassir, she's been married jes' onct
befo." rs her husband dead or
divorced?" asked Mr.. Belew. "She
ain't neber been divorced" replied
the applicant. ZEN All doan know
wedder he's libin' or not. en- she
doan neider, but All tells yo boss.
All neber lets little thing LAX Hat
bodder me- We'll" said Mr.. Be
lew, you had better let it bother
you, because IL that man ever turns
up. you'll be in a fix and your wife
will be guilty of bigamy. You bet
ter go on. out and find out" They
both tramped out bewaiIing their
hard luck. Immediately afterwards
another applicant showed up and
said he wanted to marry q l7-year-
old girl. When informed that the
parents consent would be necessary.
the girl volunteered the informa-
tion that her father was dead. She
was told to bring her mother in.
She went out and hunted her up
and brought her back Her mother
said her father was living as far
as she or the daughter knew. but
they had only considered him dead
because he had left town and re-
fused to support them.
