King George Approves of Study of
 Oriental Languages.

London, April 6.-When King George opened school for the study of oriental languages here the other day he placed official stamp of ap- proval on the revival of a movement that since the war has been gaining rapid headway in this country to study foreign languages. The school opened by the king is the first of it's kind in the British Empire. which counts 32O,- 900, 900 citizens speaking oriental lan- guages.
 One of the lessons taught this coun- try by the war has been the need for a wider knowledge of foreign lan- guages. The British people have learned through the war that the average German knew more lan- guages than the average Briton.

JURY WHEEL PLAN
TOGOVERN DRAFT
OF new FORCES
No Claims for Exemption to Be
Considered Until Each Dis
triCt Provides Number
of Men Apportioned.

Washington, May 28,-Regulations
to govern exemptions under the selec-
tive draft are being worked out by
Provost Marshal General Crowder,
with a number OF prominent lawyers.
Although the plans are not yet
complete, it is possible that the jury
wheel system will be followed in Sc
iecting those who arc to go into the
first army of 100000 and not until the
names have been drawn and each
registration district has provided the
number apportioned to it, will ex-
emptions be considered. AS each in
dividual drawn reports, his claim for
exemption will be passed upon and if
he is exempted another will be drawn
10 fill the vacancy.
Local Exemption Boards.
The law provides for local ex-
emption boards in each county and for
each 10000 in city populations. Boards
Of review also will be established on
the basis of one or more to each fed
eral judicial district. All the boards
will be composed of civilians. Secre-
tary Baker said today the process of
selecting them had not been worked
out
General Crowder said that only con-
fusion would result from the reported
intention of men above the fixed age
to register on June 5.
This is mistaken patriotism" he
said, "and registrars will be in
strLcted to accept cards only from
men between the ages Of 81 and 80,

Many Killed and Injured and
Property Damage Is Great
When Osaka Warehouse
Is Blown Up.

Osaka, Japan, May 28.--Seventy per-
sons, were killed aud 200 injured in a
series of terrific explosions and a fire
which occurred in the warehouse dis
trict OF Osaka yesterday. The dam
age to property is estimated at about
$6,000000
The whole of Osaka and its neigh
boring towns and villages were
thrown into a panic. The sound Of the
explosion was heard for fifty miles.
The first explosion, which occurred
in the Toxic Warehouse company's
storehouse, is believed to have been
due to the spontaneous combustion Of
chemicals. The roar resembled the
rumbling of a distant volcano. The
sky was darkened with clouds Of
smoke and flying debris. Pillars Of
fame shot up after the third explo-
sion.
Fire Fighting Prevented.
Firemen and fire engines rushed to
:, the scene and tried to combat the fire,
but the men and women dying from
their wounds and countless people
rushing in all directions, crying for
help, prevented effective fire fighting.
The fire ragged for nearly five hours
unchecked, and it was nearly midnight
before it was brought under control.
Not a person who happened to be
passing in the neighborhood escaped
some injury. Heavy pieces of burn
ing concrete and red hot iron bars and
other debris fell upon the heads of
pedestrians. Some were killed out
right, while many were terribly mutt
lated.
Crushed By Rocks.
Many houses were ruined, being
crushed by falling rocks. In most OF
the houses within the radius of a mile,
the window panes were broken and
the doors unhinged The Ashiwaki
bridge, about a mile from the scene
of the fire. was cut in two by the
shock of the explosion and twenty
persons who were crossing it were
thrown into the river and drowned.

MAL0NEY TO HOLD
JOB UNTIL after
CHADRON TRIAL
City Commissioners Decide
Not to Abolish Office Be-
fore Hearing of Black
mail Case.

No action affecting the status OF
Captain Maloney of the detective de-
partment will be taken until after his
trial at Chadron on a charge of con-
spiracy to blackmail.
Superintendent Kugel of the police
department, after the city council
committee of the whole asked the
city commissioners to go with him
INTO an executive session to consider,
as he explained, a resolution to abol-
ish the office Of chief of detectives,
now held by Maloney.
Commissioners Butler, Park and
Withnell refused to join the star
chamber session, stating that the
matter is of public interest and should
be discussed in open session.
Commissioner Hummel also was
against the executive session, but was
present because the meeting happened
tc be held in his office. Mayor Dahl
man and Commissioner Jardine were
the only members of the council who
willingly joined Kugel i'll the meet
ing.
Mayor Favors Delay.
1t was Superintendent Kugels pur-
pose to offer the Maloney resolution
at the regular council meeting Tues
day morning, but at the close of the
executive meeting he announced that
he would take no action until after
tie Chadron case had been disposed
of.
II don't think it would be fair to
jeopardize Maloney's case at Chadron
by taking summary action here at this
time," explained Mayor Dahlman,
who opposed Kugers plan of action.
If the superintendent of police can
enlist sufficient backing of the city
council he will abolish the position
Of chief of detectives and assign Ma
loney to work as detective, which
place he held when he was appointed
head of the detective department
September /, 1912.
Superintendent Kugel returned to
his Office Monday after a period of
illness and recuperation. He was
kept busy all day answering telephone
calls and listening to versions of the
local storm which broke during his
absence. j.
No Attention to Maloney.
Commenting on an interview given
out br Captain Maloney, that at a
meeting held at the Kugel residence
a suggestion was made to lob" him
(Maloney), Kugel said:
II am not paying any attention to
that fellow. He is likely to say any
thing. ! am willing to have the po-
lice department investigated. The
facts will all be brought out later.
There was no meeting at my house"
Asked why he wished an executive
meeting of the city commissioners,
Kugel replied:
There is some stuff I want to
bring out, and l don't think it should
be made public at this time"
Charges prepared and signed last
Saturday by Chief Dunn against Cap
tain Maloney and Detective Sutton
have been held up in Superintendent
Kugel's Office and will not be filed
until after the Chadron case has been
tried. The chief charged conduct
unbecoming officers of the police de-
partment.
Omaha men involved or interested
in the Chadron affair will leave

captured nine six-inch guns.
ASSOCIATED Press war Summary
The Italians have fought their way
forward within two miles of Dunno,
the most formidable natural barrier
between them and Trieste. The
great battle now enters its eighteenth
Gay without any sign of an abate-
ment. Vienna refuses to concede the
italian victories, but the map tells
the story Of General Cadorna's steady
advance. -..
Duino, at the gates OF which the
Italian guns are now hammering,
marks point at which the Carso
plateau almost touches the sea. Pro-
tected by the ocean on the one side,
it is powerfully defended to the north
by Mount Querteto, height OF con-
siderable magnitude, which domi-
mates the country for many miles
around.
At the foot of Mount Querceto, fac
ing west, lies the little town of Me-
deazza, and the Italians have smashed
their way to within a few hundred
yards OF this village.
1t is possible that lull will occur
before they attempt the formidable
task of storming Mount Querceto.
Persistent attempts are being con-
tinued by the Germans to regain con-
troll of the important observation
points recently wrested from them by
the French in the Champagne. Paris
reports the repulse of all these at
tacks.
