thorities and police in an effort to
find Harold Ivens, her runaway
boy, Mrs. Nellie Ivens, 1909 Leav-

conducted a personal search during
the last four weeks and found the
l1-year-old lad locked in the room
of John J. Ebe1, ia South Sixteenth

condition, due, it is charged, to
abusive treatment by Ebel, who was
arrested by city detectives and
booked for investigation.
Young Ivens had been missing
from his home for four weeks and
when found was clothed in tattered
garments. He told his mother that
Ebel had not allowed him the privi-
lege of bath during his detainment
in the mans room.
Father Flanagan, head of the
Working Boys Home, took the lad
to his mother.
Ebel told police he kept the boy
with him to give him a home. Young
Ivens said that Ebel forced him to
go to Council Bluffs each day with
him to load lumber for his living.
Mrs. Ivens said she will appear
against Ebel in police court.

Musical Burlesque
This Week Is Unusual
in Having Real Plot

Jack Conway and his Liberty
Girls" present the unusual at the
Gayety theater this week in their
two-act production with plot car
ried through both acts. The musical
burlesque is entitled; Reilly and the
Seminary Girls"
Jack Conway as Tim Reilly, later
known as Prof. O'Lunar, is good for
laugh every minute of his time on
the stage. His droll humor keeps
the audience in an uprOar. Larry
Clifford, in black face, plays the part
of janitor and has the center of
the stage part of the time.
A galaxy of Dollies, Pollies,
Armies and Fannies with more than
the ordinary customary physical at
fractions add to the entertainment
features. In addition to their good
looks they have pleasant voices.
The plot, the unusual feature of
the play, shows Reilly hunted by po-
lice for his part in the festivities.
G. Whitaker Wise, known to his
friends as James ]. Collins, is at
hand as the fxer and lands him a
soft Cd berth as Prof. O'Lunar, an
Irish astronomer at a girls semi
nary.
The plot thickens with the arrival
of naval officer in love with one
of the girls. The fer and the sham
professor ensnare the officer in their
tolls and prevail upon him to take
the faculty and students on an ocean
voyage. A storm wrecks the ship
on a desert isle.
Mogulus, the king, has the ex-
kaiser bested for authority and
Brigham Young outdistanced for
wives. The king falls for the fxer's
supply of liquor (time, before July
u and the professor is made king.
He finally leaves the island to the
king when rescued by his wife.
Snappy song hits and dancing fea-
lures are introduced during the show
by Misses Barry Melton, Norma Je-
rome, Hilda Giles, Larry and Sally
Clifford and Messrs. Kelly and Mar

HALF MILLION
ARMY PROVISION
FACING DEFEAT
Objection Raised in House to
Committees Plan as 1t
Is Not Germane to Ap-
preparation Bill.

Washington. Feb. l5.-Defeat
through parliamentary tactics OF
legislation proposed BY the house
military committee authorizing a
temporary army of 100000 men for
the year beginning next July was i'll
dicated tonight in the house. Rep
resentative Humphreys of Missis-
sippi (dem.) gave notice that he
would make point of order against
the army organization provision on
the ground that it is legislation and
has no place in an appropriation bill.
Expecting defeat through this
move, Representative Mckenzie OF
Illinois, a republican member of the
military committee, submitted sub
stitute proposal, which, he said, had
the approval of several members OF
the military committee.
The fight on army reorganization
will come before the house when
work on the military bill is resumed
on Monday or Tuesday after COM
pletion of the unanimous consent
calendar. -.
Mr.. McKenzie's proposal would
authorize organization of a regular
army of 175,000 men through volun-
teer enlistment of three years, as
provided by the national defense act
of 1916. and would give the presi-
dent discretionary authority to i'll
clude in it new units, the usefulness
of which was demonstrated by the
war.
To Pay National Guard.
During consideration of the bill
tonight the house adopted without
objection an amendment proposed
by the military committee, appro-
priating $4,467,000 for pay to ma
tional guard members for attending
drills. Other provisions relating to
the guard, including that conten,-
plating organization of a force of
100000 guardsmen under the nd
tional defense act of 1916, and APP
propriating $l0,163,000 in addition
to the amount added for drill pay
we're approved without dissent.
