Choice.
Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee.

cpccihi Disputcn 10 Inc OfhHua Dee.
Lincoln, July 25.-In the mass of
correspondence always lying i1aphaz-
ard on Governor Bryan's desk Is q
letter from Elmer e. Thomas, federal
prohibition agent for Nebraska. re-
questing the governor, in the name
Of prohibition forces in Nebraska, to
name successor to the late Munich
pal Judge John Wappich, who will be
in sympathy with prohibition enforce
ment.
The Thomas letter states bluntly
that any attempt by Governor Bryan
to please Eugene O'Sullivan. Omaha
criminal lawyer and the delegate to
the national convention who nomi-
mated Bryan for president, in naming
the Wappich successor will be ac-
cepted by prohibition forces as a sur
render to the wet element in
Omaha. O'SulIivan, according to re-
port, has been promised appointment
of a municipal judge suitable to him
as payment for his work for the gov
ernor in New York.
The same demand for law en-
forcement sympathizer on the mu-
nicipal bench has been made by F..
A. High, superintendent of the Anti
Saloon league. High. in a statement
Issued today, charged that the mu-
nicipal court bench, by failure to
mete out heavy Jail sentences to boot
leggers in Omaha, had forced law en-
forcement officials to take their cases
directly into federal court and clog
that court with work that should be
handled by the municipal bench.
High Protests Vacancy.
"A year ago / called on Governor
Bryan to remove two of Omaha's mu-
nicipal judges and presented evidence
to show they were not enforcing the
prohibition law satisfactorily, High
said. HE ignored my plea and one
Of the judges is still on the bench.
1.-THE least the prohibition forces
can ask Is that in selecting a sue
cessor to Judge Wappich Governor
Bryan choose a man who can handle
much of this police work and save
the federal, courts fro mtheir heavy
run of criminal cases. The only rea-
son a majority of liquor cases are
tried in federal court is because Of
ficials can't rely on the municipal
courts to impose the heavy Jail sen.
tences necessary to stamp out boot
Logging.
Vacancy Since April.
Governor Bryan has stood with
the wet element In Omaha for a
year in refusing to take action on
our request for removal of two
judges. 1t Is high time he did some
thing for the prohibition forces In
Nebraska"
The vacancy on the municipal
bench in Omaha has been open since

CONY ice SEXTET
MEETS Bates End
STRINGERS TONIGHT

The Cony high fcemen will meet
the fast Bates second team in a clash
at the Williams field rink at O'Clock
tonight. The game was first slated to
be played in the afternoon but as
the condition of the ice Is much bet
ter In the evening than in the after
noon and as 1t is more convenient
for those working days to attend, the
contest will be staged this evening.
In the Bates team there are some
first class puck handlers, and al
though the Bates teams have not been
seen in action in Augusta, and prob
ably have some dark horses" to the
Augusta folks. the contest should be
fast and exciting. The Bates second
|. team is composed of first team SUBJ
stitutes and as Bates walked away
with the intercollegiate trophy in
hockey circles this year, and in fact
for the past four years. one can guess
whether the clash tonight will be a
good one.
The Red and White team have been
putting in some good practice this
week and the fact that they held the
fast Watefville Pro team to a 80
score shows that the Bates hockey
men will not have things all their
own way this evening and the local
boys will give them a game for their
money.
The lineup for the Cony team to-
night will be as follows: Capt. Ran
dali RI; Gregorie C; Reed lw; Brad
street I'd; Mcdonald q: Quimby Id;
Duffy Of Augusta will referee the
