SAY MANUEL CRIED
WITH DYING DESLYS.

Paris. Feb. IA magnificent
bunch Of flowers for the funeral of
Gaby Deslys. the famous dancer
actress, was carried hither from Lon
don i'll an airplane. Her home was
literally filled with floral gifts from
hundreds OF friends, and cablegrams
of coincidence are still coming in
from all parts of the world. The
gifts Of ex-King Manuel of Portu-
gal. will not be buried with her, in
compliance with her dying wish. 1t
was said the scheme was abandoned
for fear that her grave might share
the fate OF the resting place Of Mile
Lantelne, which was twice violated
by ghouls in 1913.
The report is current that ex-klng
Manuel visited Gabv incognito, and
cried with the girl who has been
universally regarded as the deciding
factor in his dethronement.
With the exception of trust
fund for her mother. the whole OF
the S5,200,000 left by Gaby Deslys
is to go to the building of model

tends to violations which he sees or
where the circumstances offer him
reasonable cause to make arrests
This leaves a twilight zone of au-
thority wherein he is called to ex-
ercise his best Judgment. Obvious
ly, if he observes two men fighting,
he will arrest both and leave for the
court the question OF determining
which was the aggressor. FREE
quently he is called upon to iron
out little affairs which need only
good judgment and kindly advice.
He should have an acquaintance
with the everyday ffequenters Of his
beat.
Night Shift Uncertain.
There is the bright side of the
policeman's life. In Omaha he
works only eight hours and then he
is done. He is under civil service
and after 20 years of service, is en-
titled to a pension at half pay.
Some former policemen have re-
tired on their pensions and are now
holding better positions than they
Had on the police department, re-
ceiving their monthly pension as an
additional means with which to meet
the high cost of living. The average
lay beat is comparatively easy
work, except for the exposure in in
clement weather.
The night shift, however, entails
added responsibilities, because crime
stalks under the cover of darkness
and during these hours the police
man never knows what kind of a
situation he is going to face.
New Gym and Rest Room.
Il have learned during my exper-
, ience as policeman what it means
to hold my temper and to be calm
under the most trying circum-
stances" said an old-timer. II have
also learned that you get nearer to
the heart of the average person by
moral suasion than by a display of
force. The exceptions to this rule
are rare and, of course, the police
man should be ready to meet the ex-
ception as we'll as the rule"
Omaha policemen are going to
have a new Central station, one OF
the best buildings of its kind in the
west. This station will be equipped
with gymnasium, rest room and
other conveniences.
Pay for Omaha policemen was ad-
vanced recently to provide $l25 per
month to start with, and maximum
of $3.50 per month for patrollnen.
$l60 per month for detectives, $175
for sergeants and an advancing
scale up to the rang of chief.

it may be said that the annals of
the police are full of brave deeds
and of lives lost in the performance
of duty.
The policeman knows that he is
not in the good graces of those who
break the laws. This class observes
his movements with the stealth of a
feline and they match their wits
against the man who is their ne
neSiS.
Friend Of Children.
"Your buttons should convey the
thought to every child you meet
that you are his friend" said Mayor
Smith to a recent gathering of
Omaha policemen.
The metropolitan policeman OF to-
dav is required to have an intelligent
understanding of traffic problems
and of the ordinances relating to
sanitation. :.

LEGION TO ASK
BONUS'PLAN Be
FOLLOWED BY U. S.
Seek $50 Bond for Each
Month Served by Men
And Women During
World War.

Earl Kiplingef, 1908 Farnam
street, Nebraska member of the
national executive committee of the
American Legion, announced last
night that executive officers of the
legion expected the entire member
ship of the organization TO back ac-
ton of national officers in demand
ing immediate congressional action
Of the legion's new plan for bonus
for all former service men and
women.
The executive board at a meeting
in Indianapolis last week. he an
nounced, adopted resolutions en-
dorsing general compensation
bonus in the form of a $50 bond
for each month OF service following
the entry of this country into the
world war.
"A large number of members of
congress, both democrats and repuo-
licans, are playing too much politics
in handling proposals for a bonus
for ex-service men and are delaying
adoption of bonus law unneces-
sarily," Mr.. Kiplinger declared. THE
executive board felt the time had ar
rived to swing the whole legion back
OF one definite plan. We now have
the plan and we're going to put it
across"
Wire State Representatives.
Dr. E. c. Henry, commander OF
the Douglas county post Of the le-
gion. last night wired \ Senators
Hitchcock and Norris and Congress
man A. w. Jefferis of thee Omaha
district that Douglas county ex-
service men expected them to sup
port the American Legion bonus
plan. He urged all former service
men and women to send kilograms.
They should be addressed to Sena-
tor G. NJ. Hitchcock, Senator George
w, Norris or Congressman A. w.
Jetferis. Washington. d. c.
DIR. Henry said he would call a
special meeting of the executive
committee OF the Douglas county
post early next week to act on the
plan endorsed by the national Of
ficers.
IF there is any division of opin-
ION | will call meeting of all men,
hers of the post" he said. Il be-
licve the plan announced and the ef-
fort to hurry congressional action
will meet with unanimous approval
DR.. Henry favors bringing
bonus proposal before the next Ne
braska legislature, ii congress fails
to act. This phase of the bonus
proposal also will be discussed at
the meeting of Douglas county le-
gton officers next week, he said
Action OF the national executive
committee followed three months of
waiting for action by congress. The
legion at its national meeting in
Minneapolis passed resolution that
the American Legion feels it can
not ask for legislation in its selfish
interest and leaves with confidence
to the congress the discharge of this
obligation"
The indianapolis resolutions of
last week point out congress has
been unable to agree on any one
Plan and the legion therefore pre-
sents its proposals OF $50 compen-
sation adjustment for each month of
service as the desire of legion men,
bers. Immediate action on this leg
islation is urged as paramount" and
posts ard individual members are
urged to express their interest and
support in a food of kilograms.
