For A .orial And
A Memorial Only

The suggestion of a memorial to
Cecil's soldiers and sailors that shall
be a tribute pure and simple to their
patriotism seems to be finding its way
to the hearts of those who want to
honor the virtue Jhat manifested itself
in the sacrifices made upon the altar
of human liberties and rights.
The more deeply and the more sin
cerely one considers the proposal for
memorial, The more convincing comes
the conviction that it should not be
diverted towards other objects, or
used to serve other purposes.
While we do not belIttIe the merits
of any of the score or llOre of worthy
causes that are seeking greater pub
lie recognition and aid through tins
memorial project, we ul.heSltauhgIF
say that the proposed tribute to the
patriotism of Cecil's sons should nos
be belittled by any unitarian project
Hospitals, libraries. scholarships,
consolidated schools, orphan aSylumS,
athletic fields, public halls. and new
court houses, are al. worthy of public
recognition, and have in themselves
sufficient merit for public support, but
we fail to see why a tribute to herolSm
and patriotism should be expected to
sink its primary purpose IN order TO-
promote the interests OF any one oil
these worthy objects.
In considering the proposed me
mortal. we have the keynote to the
situation furnished by the unselfish
attitude of our Nation. As a Nation
no benefit was sought for in the war
that we were unwilling to share with
all the world. we placed our pH

WHEEL TAXLEvY
M|SUSED, AUTO
OWNERS CHARGE
Threatened With Injunction
City Council Decides to
Spend Taxes According
to Ordinance.

Charges of misappropriation of
the wheel tax fund were made
against the city council yesterday by
members of the Automobile club
and Chamber of Commerce, follow
ing up a letter written recently de-.
handing that the wheel tax fund of
$4,000 be used as provided in the
ordinance. At the end of the argu-
ment the council voted to place the
wheel tax fund in the departments
that the ordinance requires.
F. L. Nesbit declared that unless
the city council agreed to devote
this fund to the legitimate purposes
for which it was levied an injunct ton
would be secured to prevent its use
anywhere else.
1t was charged that the fund is
being used in the payment of gen
eral expenses of the city and this
was admitted by the commission
ers after an argument.
The ordinance specifically states
that this fund is to be used, 90
per cent for the repair, of streets
and 10 per cent for the repair of
boulevards and that it is to be in
addition to the regular appropria-
tons for these two departments,

ARMY salmon IS
FOUND FIT FOR
SALE ON Market
$4,000 Cans iof Fish Con-
demned by War Department
Found in Good Condition
by 0mahan.

M. B. Newman, president of the
Newman Brokerage company, of
this city, who was authorized by
Quartermaster General Rogers to
inspect and determine whether the
$4,000 cans of pink and red salmon,
in storage in a government ware
house here, was fit for human con-
sumption, has reported the salmon
in good condition and as a conse-
quence has effected saving of many
thousands of dollars to the govern
ment The entire stock of salmon in
question was examined by Mr.. New
man in company with several inter
ested individuals yesterday.
An acute shortage Of this COM
modify exists in this section of the
country at present and efforts are
being put forth by Mr.. Newman to
obtain the governments consent to
the sale and distribution of the sal
mon in Omaha and adjacent terri
tory.
Wholesale grocers have offered to
take over the entire stock at sub
stantial profit to the government.
Following a report that the 1918
pack, from which the salmon in
storage here was taken was unfit
for consumption, the War depart
ment decided to return the entire
stock to the packers from whom it
was purchased. The return was to be
made through the pure food service,
which was to destroy the con-
demned salmon.
Mr.. Newman interfered and en-
listed the aid Of Representative JEFF
ferris after he had learned of the gov
ernment's intention. Mr.. Newman's
appointment as examiner of the
stock came as the result of con-
ference between Mr.. Jefferis. E. c.
Morse acting director of sales for
the War department, and Congress-
man Reavis, chairman of the sub
committee of the special committee
now investigating the War depart
ment
AS the return of the salmon would
have involved a great deal of trou-
bic and probably some financial loss
to the government. Mr.. Newman's
action has saved the government
this trouble and enables it to sell at
profit the stock which originally
it would have been forced to dispose
of at small loss.

Bennett HELD,
, CHARGED WITH
MURDER intent
Wife OF Wounded Man Agrees
to Remain in Jail as State
Witness Until
Trial.

Roy Bennett was charged yester'
day with shooting with intent to
murder Charles Mendenhall after the
man had been lured to the vicinity Of
the Droge elevator Friday night
Bennett was arraigned in police
court and his bond fixed at 81 500
pending his hearing August l.
Mrs. Agnes Mendenhall was
brought from county jail with Ben
nett, but although no charge has
been filed against her she told AS
sstant County Attorney Northrup
she would not object to remaining
in jail as a witness.
Bennett appeared to be confused
and offered no plea when the charge
OF shooting with intent to murder
Mendenhall was read to him.
Assistant County Attorney North
rup says he has signed statements by
Bennett and Mrs. Mendenhall III
which both admit that they have
been maintaining improper relations.
Both the man and the woman have
made numerous and conflicting
statements concerning the shooting
and the conditions that led to the
alleged attempted murder, officials
say.
The assistant county attorney
visited Mendenhall at the Edmund
son hospital yesterday in the hope
that Mendenhall could give some
clue TO the identity of the woman
who called him on the telephone and
made the appointment for him to
meet his wife, and which Mrs. Men
denhall tried to prevent, going to the
home of Detective T. F. Callighan
an hour before the shooting and urg
ing Callaghan to take measures to
protect Mendenhall.
The plea that sent the man to the
murder tryst was that Mrs. Menden'
, hall was going to the home of her
parents in Nebraska and it would be
his last chance to see her Menden-
hall was unable to give any descrip-
ton of the man who shot him, only
declaring that two men rose up from
the weeds near telephone pole and
one of them pressed the weapon
against his breast and fired and both
men ran away as he fell.

And Mr.. Hoyt, Too, Is
Supposed Not to Tell
Anything But the Truth

While Omaha sweltered Sunday
night, two members of the construc-

swimming pool at the Boy Scout
camp, near Bellevue, quit work be-
cause they suffered from the cold
and were allowed only one army
blanket to cover up with. At 10
o'clock they left the camp with
chattering teeth and hiked into
Bellevue and took the street car
into Omaha, where they could sleep
in comfort.
Scout Executive Hoyt says that
he tried to take a shower bath after
taps, but after one plunge he ran
shivering to mis- blanket to keep
from freezing.
