of the year TO enable her keeper TO
raise and market several dollars
worth of young ducks from her eggs.
These young ducks have size and
juicy before marketing, which is al
ways done by the big duck raisers in
the East, and this is why they raise
ducks of the Pekln variety for the
market. This can he done as well,
and there is always a ready and profit
able market for such ducks.

Three Features OF value.

There ARE really three features of
value in the Pekin duck. One is her
eggs to be converted into young ducks
rs suggested. The other is her feath-
ers, which are abundant and Of a soft
texture and valuable IN the market,
and she may be picked mt least twice
n year. The third point Of value is
when the duck herself Is fattened and
marketed.
Pekin ducks are great foragers. and
With favorable surroundings, such as
a pond or other water source, and
grass to range over, they viii pick up
IN this way L-Ore than half of their
food. 1t is tire they may be raised
under less favorable conditions, but
1T less profit sud with more care and
work.

The decision adding Baron Max

the fact that his government might
be given an opportunity for full
concurrence if full adherence is ex-
pected. His entry into the council
meeting necessitated rearrranging
the entire reply, article by article.
The conditions for the admission

First-Establishment of a stable

Second-Signing of the treaty of

Third-Loyal execution of the
peace treaty.
A proposed fourth condition, rela-
tive to Germany's abolishing COM
prlsory military service, was finally
omitted on Premier Clemenceau's
suggestion. 1t was considered tha:
the treaty sufficiently provided for
Germany's disarmament.

evidence presented is concerned
and as the result of their own
scrutiny of all the circumstances
including legal advice, their opin-
ion is that the charges are entire

The university policy and ideal
is to permit every professor in
the institution to make any in

furthermore It is in harmony with

Gloom at Bellevue
College Replaced
by Air Of Excitement

Dr.. Edgar P. Hill, recently ap-
pointed secretary of the Pres
byterian college board of New York,
at the invitation of Henry T. Clarke,
presiden: of the board of trustees of
the college, will visit Omaha, Satur-
day, to reopen the case of Bellevue
college. This move. is due to the
new situation caused by the action
of the alumni at their annual busi-
ness meeting Wednesday evening.
Funereal gloom has been super
seded at Bellevue college by a state
of breathless excitement. Weeping
young women and long-faced young
men have plunged into the fund
raising campaign among the alumni,
ex-students, and friends of the COL
lege with such enthusiasm that no
time has been left for mourning.
The hearty encouragement OF the
members of the executive committee
to the action taken by the alumni
and ex-students association has
been the most favorable note of the
situation. Financial arrangements
probably will be consummated to-
morrow which will place the college
cut of debt.

Lincoln. June l2.-(Special Tele-

of dairy husbandry at the state az.

lis, president of the Waterloo
Creamery company and the Atlanta
Creamery company of Omaha. of
improper conduct as a professor OF
the state university in that he was
the leader of the movement to or
ganize the milk producers associa-
tion, and such act was contrary to
the Sherman antitrust law and that
he had misrepresented prices paid
for milk and cream by the Omaha
milk companies, were dismissed by
the board of regents of the univer-
sity Thursday evening.
To substantiate these charges
Corlis had asked for a chance 10
appear before the regents and the
regents had appointed Dean Hast
ings to act as referee and hear the
testimony, but Corlis failed to ap-
pear.
Corlis charged that Frandsen
made the representation that Oma-
ha consumers of milk were being
charged II cents a quart when the
companies were paying the farmers
only E cents, thus making 8 cents
profit for the milk companies.
After the meeting the regents is

Heads of the union are at pres.
ent centering their efforts on the
principal firms involved, the small
er having agreed to the demands.
Traffic Situation Improves.
With the return to work of some
400 of the strikers Wednesday morn
ing after their demands had been
met, the traffic situation in the city
was somewhat improved. Deliveries
of ice and milk are still greatly
hampered. But few moving vans
are in evidence and but little build
ing material is being transported.
Picketing was in progress at ev-
cry point of vantage in the city, al
though no difficulty was encoun-
tered by the police in controlling
the pickets.
A score or more of men have
been deputized by Chief of Police
Eberstein to maintain peace in the
affected districts. The action of the
city officials in this matter was hot
ly condemned by the strikers.
I'VE feel that we can win this
strike by strict adherence to every
principle of the law. We do not
see why 100 men should be depu-
tized by the city to intimidate the
strikers" said Mr.. M. w. Rooney,
one of the business agents for the
union.
1--WE do not encourage nor will we
countenance any violence on the
part of the strikers" said Mr..
Vaughn. men who employ vio-
lence will be summarily dealt with"
A lengthy statement was issued
by Attorney General Davis Wednes-
day. He denounced the action of
some of the strikers who are alleg-
ed to have intimidated, and even as
saulted, nonunion drivers. He ex-
planned the injunction issued against
the teamsters and truck drivers and
the building materials yards two
years ago by the district court. He
warned both factions against viola
ton of the injunction.
Early Wednesday morning Mayor
Smith issued a statement saying
that he was for arbitration if estab-
lishment of a closed shop policy
was not the purpose of the strikers.
If that was the purpose he urged
the employers to hold out, because
Omaha must not be known as
closed shop city"
Statement by Mayor.
The mayors statement follows:
IF the controversy is over wages
or hours of labor l urge both sides
TO submit to arbitration.
"The public finally carries the
burden, so the public has its right
to insist on that method Of settle
ment.
"If the controversy is over the
CLOSED shop then there should be
no arbitration of that demand.
Omaha must not be known as a
closed shop city. Every honest
man, union or nonunion, is welcome,
and they must always find the gates
open.
(Signed) ED P. SMITH,
Mayor
Walter Jardine, president of the
Omaha Merchants Express and
Transfer company, declared that the
strike was for a closed shop in
Omaha. THE strikers were receiv-
ing more than they demanded pre-
vious to the walkout," he said.
Governor McKelvie has been
asked by Mayor Smith to call the |
state mediation board to aid in set
tling the strike in this city.

Hearts Of Men" at the Rialto. Mr..
Beban tells many amusing incidents
that took place during the filming
Of Hearts of Mcn"-for example,
how all the scenes in which the
Chinaman appeaers had TO be taken
over, for one day he had his hair
all cut off, and you can imagine the
laugh that would occur should they
have shown one picture where the
Chinaman is behind the big rock
with a big head of hair, and the
very next minute, when he came
from behind the rock, with all his
hair shaved off. You see in picture
making all the scenes are not taken
the same day. or even possibly the
same week, so the performers have
to be very careful to wear Just the
same clothes they did when the
other similar scenes were taken, or
the audience, quick to notice the
difference, is bound to laugh and
spoil the effect of the picture.
Mr., Beban is great believer in
better pictures, and one of his proud
boasts is that he has never appeared
in one in which there has been a
triangle or a vanp. ..
His engagement at the Rialto is
for the balance of the week, and he
will appear twice daily at 8 and 9
p. m. .,.

pathos in it is portrayed by Shirley
