Typhoid Innoculatiorl
Keeps Some of Go. B
Boys From the Dance

Despite the fact that the second
innocuIation for typhoid. administer
ed yesterday. kept some Of the Com
pany B boys away entirely and caus-
ed others, who were present, to give
UP dancing because OF the stiffness
and soreness of their arms, the in
evening in the K. C. hall by the
ladies Of Company B Auxiliary was a
very pleasant affair, and was at
tended by nearly hundred couples.
The party was in honor of the B
company boys, soon to leave Fargo,
and the invitation included all 9TH
ers OF Fargo and Moorhead who are
in the United States military service,
and their ladies. The rule of admis-
sion was adhered to strictly. There
was a good representation from
Battery F, Of Moorhead, and several
who are in the industrial service of
the government were present as
specially invited guests, being greet
ed as soldiers Of the soil.''
Cliffs orchestra furnished very
pleasing music for the dancing,
which continued until late hour,
McLaren and Mrs. Mckinney, with
the assistance of Privates Barrett
and Olson, served frappe through
out the evening.
If the Company B boys remain in
Fargo long enough 1t is likely that
another similar party will be given
by The auxiliary in their honor.
An important business meeting of
Company B Auxiliary will be held
Monday evening at 1880 o'clock in
the Masonic library. Every member
is urged to be present, as plans for
future events will be discussed, and
there are many applications for
membership to ballot on. The report
of the finance committee, on the net
proceeds OF the booth maintained at
the Interstate fair, will be made
then.

Special Buttons for Omaha Men
Who Enlist in the Sixth Nebraska

Every man who enlists in the
Omaha battalion OF the Sixth Ne
braska Volunteer regiment next week
will be given an honor button-a little
blue button containing red 6. The
button was designed by one Of
Omaha's popular young society girls
whose brother is in the service of the
United States.
"The blue stands for loyalty to the
government" she explained to Lieu
tenant Kenworthy, in charge of Sixth
Nebraska headquarters. "The red in
the figure six represents unAinching
courage. When the people of Omaha
see one OF their young men wearing
this button they will know that he
has voluntarily offered his services to
the state and government and that he
possesses the courage of true blue,
red-blooded American"
Several hundred of these buttons
have been obtained and will be given
out next '1eek when the big drive for
recruits for the Sixth starts.
Omaha is expected to furnish 500

men for the new regiment. More
than third of this number is already
in sight.
The War department at Washing
ton has authorized the formation of
this new regiment. 1t will be strictly
a volunteer organization. The men
who enlist the coming week will con-
tinue their regular work until the fed
eral government calls them into serv-
ice. The men enlistng in the Sixth
regiment will serve only during the
war emergency.
The Sixth regiment will be mus
tered into federal service along with
the Fifth regiment.
Twenty-Five towns out in the state
have made application for companies
in the new Sixth regiment. During
the past wee. recruiting stations have
been opened in most OF these towns.
Omaha headquarters for the Sixth
regiment are at 1912 Farnam street.

ITALIANS HOLD
Bazaar; PARADE
FOR RED CROSS
Raise Considerable Sum for
Relief Work Among the
Italian Soldiers at .a
the Front.

Headed by "Uncle SAM" "Italia"
Columbia" and Liberty" who rode
majestically-i i'll large automobile,
700 Italians of Omaha marched
through the streets OF Omaha Sunday
afternoon in a magnificent Red Cross
demonstration.
They formed at Washington hall,
marched through the principal streets,
entered the Auditorium and there
shortly after 3 o'clock opened the big
bazar, which before midnight had
netted them nearly $4,000 for the
Italian Red Cross relief work.
The parade and bazar were the out
come of hard work by committee of
some $50 Italians who have worked
on the Red Cross work and in prep
aration for this days demonstration
and bazar for some two months. Louis
Patti was chairman of the committee.
Julius Cantoni was secretary, and
Sebastian Saline, treasurer. Prior to
yesterdays activities, the committee
had already raised some $1,000 for the
Red Cross work in the Italian armies
during the present war. This money
will go directly to the Red Cross of
the Italians, but will mean just that
much less of burden to the Red
Cross campaigns now general
throughout the country and the world,
as it will mean that much less to be
allotted to the Italians out of the gen.
eral subscriptions of America and the
allies.

white whiskers, and star-spangled hat,
represented Uncle Sam. Esther

BOMB EXpL0DES
Big MAGAZINE IN
CUBAN FORTRESS
Internal Machine Placed
Against Wall Of Fort Thought
= to Have Been Cause Of
Death and Injury.

Havana, June 24.-An explosion in
the magazine Of Cabanas fortress
across the bay from Havana, at
o'clock tonight, shook the entire city
One person is known to be dead and
many wounded. 1t is believed a
bomb was exploded.
Among the injured were two per-
sons whose sight was destroyed by
the flash. 1t is said that the bomb
had been placed against the maga-
zine.
Magazine No. 4, which was
stored explosives used in firing sa-
lutes, exploded, opening a wide breach
in the fortress wall on the side facing
the city. A sentinel pacing his beat
on the wall was not injured, but his
rifle was blown out of his hands.
Stones fell in the city injuring three
soldiers, two of them seriously, and
six laborers.
The damage to shipping apparently
was confined to few sailing vessels
No evidence has been found pointing
to an attempt to release the military
prisoners confined in the fortress.
The fortification of Cabanas occcu.
pies an elevated site on the hill across
the harbor from Havana. The land
rises 100 feet abruptly from the
waters edge, where there is moor
ing place for shipping.
The building of the fortress con.
sumed eleven years, from 1868 to
IVA, and the cost was $l4,000,000
The ramparts command the city Of
Havana, the sea and the encircling
hills. Cibanas, however, has never
fired shot in defense of Havana, its
chief use in its long history having
been that of barracks for Spanish
troops and a prison house and execu.
ton ground for political offenders.

CLEAR DECKS
FOR GENERAL
POLICE PROBE
Commissioners Expected to Be-
gin Department Investigation
at Once; MaIoney Trial
to Come Later.

Change of venue, ganted at Chad
ron in the conspiracy to biackmai
case, and setting date OF trial Oc'
tober IS, clears the decks for gen.
eral police investigation and the corl.
pletion of the Maloney hearing be-
fore the city council.
Because of illness of Mrs. Margaret
Nelson, a necessary witness in the
Maloney hearing, it is probable the
city commissioners will begin the
general police investigation without
delay and complete the Maloney trial
as circumst; 'ces permit.
The city council committee OF the
whole Mon 'ay morning will discuss
the situation and announce date to
begin investigation of the police de-
partment
Take Up all Badges.
One action contemplated by the
council il to order all police badges
worn by persons not authorized
taken up. The charge has been
made that during the last few years
it has not been difficult to get an old
tar-shaped police badge and reports
of abuse have been received at the
city hall.
Sentiment among the city commits
nnissioners tends to favor Mayor
Dahlman's plan that the seven city
commissioners assume responsibility
for the police department and appoint
a chief Of police who will be given
complete authority, answerabl to the
entire city council. The present plan
is to reappoint Henry Dunn, give him
charge of the detective department
and abolish the office of chief of de-
tectives.
Suit Against Kugel.
There is substantial authority for
the statement that suit will be
brought against Superintendent Ku-
gel OF the police department to re-
ouire him to return to the public
treasury $1,000 expended in three
years for services and expenses OF

months before he was appointed a
regular member of the police depart
nent.
These Investigators were given
carte blanche as to expense money
for entertainment" while sitting in
at places where they were obtaining
evidence for the morals squad to
work upon.
Parks Is Suggested.
Friends of City Commissioner
Parks have been promoting the idea
among the commissioners that he
should be given the police depart
nent. Parks lays he is not seeking
the place, but if other commissioners
insist then he may think it over.

but Maloney denied he had such in
tentions.

loney and Sutton?" is question fire.
