Omaha Railroad Men Like
Idea of Lovett as R. R. Head.

Omaha railroad men express con-
siderable satisfaction over the posi-
bility of the appointment of Robert
S. Lovett as director general Of the
railroads. succeeding Mr.. McAdoo.
They point to his experience as head
Of the Union Pacific system for
many years which has given him
great railroad experience and has
eninently fitted him for the position
of director general of all the rail-.
roads.
While many of the local railroad
men are of the opinion that Mr..
Lovett will pick the railroad plum,
there are large number of others
who are inclined to the belief that
Daniel Willard, president of the.
Baltimore & Ohio will be chosen for
the place.
Inc men who lean toward Mr..
Willard contend that his varied rail-
road experience which he has OBJ
tanned by working up from the
ranks, has given a broad-gauge
view of the railroad situation and
that as the executive head of the
railroads of the United States, there
is no man better qualified.

Son Of Omaha Couple
Dies Sept. IS Of Wounds
Received in Action

Mr.. and Mrs. J. G. LOCKER, 72S
Saratoga street, are among the many
parents of Omaha who have been
called upon to sacrifice a sen fer the
cause Of liberty.
Their son, G. w. LOCKER, who
died September Is Of wounds re-
ceived in battle, was among the boys
who were drafted in July 1917. Upon
entering the service he was sent to
Camp Lewis where he became a
member of E company, Three hun
dred and sixty-second infantry, but
after a short time was transferred to
Camp Mile, New York, and was
assigned to c company of the One
hundred and sixty-fourth infantry.
Early in December he was ordered
overseas and landed at Winchester,
England on Christmas eve. After
few days in England, he was sent
direct to the front, and after that,
little was known of his whereabouts
as all his letters were merely writ
ten from Somewhere in France"
In one of his letters he said that he
was again transferred to K COM
pany, Sixteenth infantry and that he
was made one of the head mechanics
of his company. The LAST letter.
which his parents received from him
was written August 81 in which he
said he was feeling fine, but was
getting most awfully tired" of the
war.
Besides his father and mother
Private LOCKER has two brothers in
the service, Hugo in the navy and
John who was in the last draft and
got as far as Fremont when he was
ordered back home. A younger
brother, Daniel, and a sister, Miss
Bertha, are at home with their par

CASE Of GIRL
AND BOY ONE
HARD TO SOLVE
Officers Are BaffIed When
Young Couple Asks to Wed
and Deny Assault
Charge.

What is proving to be battling
case is troubling officers in several
departments at the county court
house as we'll as members of the
Welfare board.
Roy Dodendorf was arrested last
July, charged with assault on Alma
Dofner, 2ll7 Webster street. II is
alleged that Dodendorf. in company
with another young couple, took
the Dofner girl, who is n years old,
for an automobile ride, induced her
to drink whisky, and it is alleged by
the juvenile authorities, that he as
saulted her. The girl said she did
not know what happened.
Want to Wed.
The girl was taken in charge by
the Welfare board and was sent to
the girls home at Geneva, and later
to the girls reformatory at Milford.
Yesterday Dodendorf and the
Dofner girl appeared at the county
judges office, accompanied by the
parents of each, and asked for a
marriage license, having the con-
sent of the parents on both sides.
The license was refused on account
of the age of the girl.
The case of Dodendorf was called
for Judge Redick's court this morn
G but was postponed on account of
the sickness of one of the defend
ants witnesses.
Girl Won't Testify.
County Attorney Magney says he
does not see how the case can be
prosecuted, as the Dofner girl has
said repeatedly that she will not tes-
tify against Dodendorf and also that
the young couple accompanying
them on the night of the alleged as
sault say no assault was committed.
The Dofner girl claims she loves
Dodendorf and wants to marry him.
The juvenile authorities and the
welfare board have the girl in their
charge and while they claim that
they are not trying to prevent the
marriage of the young couple, they
will not release the girl from their
custody. She was brought up from
Milford yesterday to be present at
the trial today.
So with the young couple wishing
to get married, with their parents
willing, but the county judge re-
fusing license and the juvenile au-
thorities refusing to release the girl,
the county attorney has no prose-
cutting witness, and with two doc
tors certificates in direct contraven-
ton, the various interested parties
around the court house Tuesday
morning presented a complex con-
dition.
