President Wilson
Spends Quiet Day.;
Does No Business

Washington, Oct. 25.-President
Wilson spent a quiet day and his
physicians said he continued to hold
the gains he has made recently.
No routine executive business was
laid before him. Several minor bills
reached the White House from the
capitol and the Department of JUS
tice sent over number of pardon
cases to await the presidents &C
ton.
The one exception to the mo
work today" rule applied by DR..
Grayson was report from the cab
met, which held morning and late
afternoon sessions to discuss the
impending coal strike.
DR.. F. x. Dercum, the Philadel-
phia neurologist, made his weekly
visit to the president and Dr. Gray
son discussed with him the desira-
kility of reducing the number Of
daily bulletins owing to the contin-
ued improvement in the presidents
condition and the resulting same
ness" of the word from the sick
room. 1t is DR.. Grayson's idea that
lie may issue one bulletin each day
instead Of two, or possibly limit
them to one every other day.
Postmaster General Burleson
called at the White House and ssk-
ed DR.. Grayson to lay before the
president some official business, but
the physician did not do so, as ne
did not wish to deviate from his
rule that the president spend the
day in quiet.

Before Killing Self in
Mineola, la.

Glenwood, Ia, Oct 25.-(Special.)
Lying dead between the graves of
his mother and sister, the body OF
Henry Wolf of Omaha was found
today by Fred Lawson in the Nine
ola cemetery. He had a revolver
clutched in his hand. Death was
caused by shot in the throat and
Sheriff Edwards says he unouestion-
ably committed suicide. His money
and personal belongings were undis-
turbed.
A will written on the back of a
blank bank check made provision
for the distribution of his property
and bid his family and friends good
by. The will was written in Ger
man. He is said to be wealthy and
is-survived by his widow and a step
son. He was born in Germany s.
years ago.
He drove to the cemetery in his
automobile which he left standing
outside. He had been dead about
"a hours when found.
Mr.. Wolf formerly lived in Mi
nicola, later moving to Emerson,
Neb. He was recently married after
which he moved to Omaha.

TIRED SERGEANT
RESTS HEAD IN LAP
OF GIRL FRIEND
Monotony of Guard Duty at
Court House Relieved by
Fair Sex.

An investigation resulting from a
letter received by The Bee, charg-
ing that a number of young girls
were accustomed to loiter about the
east entrance of the court house till
late hours OF the night, in company
with soldier guards, showed the
charge to be true.
A reporter stopped at the east
entrance of the court house Satur-
day night. Several soldiers were
conversing with three young girls
in the entrance of the automobile
driveway. AS he paused one of the
girls exclaimed:
"All right, we'll go with YOU"
and the group moved north on Sew
enteenth street.
Entering the building by the east
entrance the reporter was chal-
lenged by guard. He explained
that he was a newspaper man, but
the guard still hesitated. He finally
turned to man who was reclining
in the arms of a girl.
"How about it, sergeant! Shall
we let him pass?" he asked. Without
raising his head from the girls lap
the sergeant replied:
"Sure, let him go in"
The building was deserted, with
the exception of a few soldiers
sleeping on cots on the second
floor No commissioned officer was
in sight. When the reporter left
the building by the same entrance
several minutes later the sergeant
was still reclining in the girls arms.
The three other girls and the SOL
diers they had been talking to had
disappeared.

Police Officer Shot in
Battle With Car Thief

Day and Mayne ran the ad offer
ing 500 for the return of the car.
Friday the firm received the fol-
lowing note:
Gentlemen: Have noted your
ad in the paper. Will arrange ev-
erything within week or two. A
word to the wise is sufficient. Don't
try to call the police to your assist
ance. If you try crooked move
we will drop everything right there.
Your car is worth $585. so don't try
to double-cross us, as it would cause
you to lose your car or we will pro-
tect our movements. In the car
when stolen were three license num-
bers, a hammer and another tool.
We mention these articles to show
you we have your car"
Leaves Note in Office.
Saturday afternoon the auto thief
came into the office of the firm in
Council Bluffs, but both members
of the firm were out and he left the
following note:
"If you will be at the end of the
car tracks at Benson between 7 and
$50 will fix things up with you.
Come alone and bring one Of your
large for-sale signs so l will know
you. Come sure tonight. Come on

remained with Day and Mayne an
a chase after the thief.
When Samardick reached the end
of the care line there were several
people on the street and he walked
a few feet expecting the man to ap-

point blank at him. Samardick

for him to-deal with, he says. Hence
he is rejoicing over the repeal Of
the daylight savings law.
For two years, the clocks were
moved forward one hour in the
spring and moved back one hour in
the fall, but from now on the time
pieces will remain on the old basis
as the daylight saving law was re-
pealed by the present congress over
the veto of President Wilson.
' Primarily a War Measure.
The law was designed primarily
as a war measure to increase food
and war material production by Of
fering an additional hour of daylight
for workmen. The first complaint
over the new time came from the
farmers, who declared the law was
working hardships on them by caus-
ing extreme early rising Many
farmers in Nebraska and Iowa ig-
nored the change in time.
Representatives of the farmers
opened the fight against the mea-
sure and although President Will
son vetoed the repeal of the law,
sufficient majorities in the house
and senate were secured to sustain
the repeal, and the daylight savings
law was repealed.
| Omaha women also took an &C
tive part in the fight for the repeal
Of the law, charging that it worked
hardship on the children of the
land. Thousands of names were Sc
cured on petitions for repeal and
sent to Washington.
A bulletin has been issued to en-
ployes by the Omaha and Council
Bluffs Street Railway Co., instruct
ing men who are not on duty, to
turn all timepieces back before re-
firing. Men on duty at 2 will turn
their watches back. The change IL
time will not affect the schedule 81
running time, officials say.
