WANTS ID DIVORCE
 HIS OWN G00D COOK

Samuel Smith is a direct contradic- tion to the long accepted doctrine that:
 we may live without poetry, music and art,
 We may live without conscience, and live without heart
 We may live without friends and live without books,
 But a civilized man can not live without cooks"
 Samuel has a good cook and he wants to get rid of her. The negro admitted in his action for divorce in- stituted yesterday that his wife was not only good cook, but was so able and competent in her line that she was well able to earn her own living. Yet he would have none of her.
 According to his complaint, filed by Will E. Ryan, Sam says that Anna Belle is Holy Roller" among which beliefs is one to the effect that free love is holy. Though that may be the belief Of his wife, she is alleged to have caused her husband keen annoy ance by implying that he has been un- faithful to her.
 Another thing the plaintiff did not like was the fact that his wife went

to the coast for a month year ago. though his objections to the trip are not set forth in the complaint.
 Incidentally the defendant is charged with calling her husband vile names and threatening his life.

ALLOTMENT ID BE TOPIC ON
 SUNDAY, MAY 4
By Proclamation, Day Is Set Aside By Churches As One
 To Aid In Solving Of This
 Vital Question of the U. s.

Sunday, May 4, has been designated as Employment Sunday by Secretary of Labor William B. Wilson, in a mes- sage received yesterday by the United States employment office of this city. According to the announcement all the churches throughout the country will be expected to observe this day in a manner which will aid in the solving of the employment problem in their con- munity.
 The message from Secretary Wilson follows:
 The national church organizations of the country have united in an effort to assist the United States employment service of the department of labor, and cooperating agencies in finding em- ployment for returning soldiers, sailors and war workers. Sunday, May 1, has been designated as Employment Sun day and on this day the national pro- gram of employment of the United States employment service will be the subject of sermons, Bible classes and class meetings. The churches will in- stitute further work on behalf of the returning men who must find new em- ployment.
 l, therefore. call upon all churches and church members in the United States to take an active part in the ob- q servance of Employment Sunday and to make it and the following days count in the dicharge of our obliga- ton to those who offered themselves for our country and the cause of Liberty.
 WILLIAM B. WILSON,
 Secretary of Labor.

Legally Cannot Conduct

Over to ShotWelI.

Is the city council trying to pass
the buck" on the building material
situation to the county attorneys

That is one OF the question before
the house.
Last month the city council ap-
pointed a special committee, COM
prising Commissioner FOWL, Zim-
man and Falconer, to investigate
alleged high prices of building ma
terials, particularly materials enter
ing into construction of houses.
Hearings Were to Be Public.
Announcement was made by
Chairman Towl that hearings would
he held, that they would be open
hearings and that all the world
would know just what was going on
in Omaha in the line of high prices.
Witnesses were to be summoned and
auizzed until their hair curled.
Now the committee, or rather
Chairman FOWL says let the county
attorney do it. City Attorney Weav-
er also says it Is up to the county
attorney.
The bottom has dropped out Of
the city council probe, according to
an announcement made today by
Chairman FOWL.

City Attorney F. L. Weaver has
advised the committee that the city

quire witnesses to divulge their BUSH
ness affairs.
He said: "If man came in to the
