HOLD SUCCESSFUL FAIR
From Saturday's Daily
The Q. Z. fair and auxiliary chick
en pie supper held Jn the parlors of
the Presbyterian church last evening
were the most successful in the his
tory of the church. The parlors were
made hospitable and Inviting by the
tare of artistic hancls. Both supper
tables and needlework booths were
gay with a generous background of
Christmas greens and brilliant reds,
while the candy and popcorn booths
held the dainty pink, lavender and
yellow tones.
During the supper hour the Holly
orchestra graciously enlivened the al
most 300 participants. Never was
music more fitting to the hour or
more happily received.
After a most successful sale of nee
dlework, popcorn and candy, the
workers departed, feeling well re
warded for their hours of hard work.
SHOPS HAVE A HOLIDAY

The employes of the Burlington

the management of the shops and in
pursuance of the policy In use over
all of the shops of the company to
give the men a rest and to curtail
the operating expenses toward the

ed. The railroad leaders of the coun
try are predicting a great revival in
their lines the coming year and after
the 1st of January there will prob
ably be large increases in the vol
ume of business and the number of
men employed.

liam Dudley Foulke, president of the
National Civil service Keionn league,
asserted tonight before the third
nual convention of the league.
i
The administration of the prohibi-1
tion service was described by Mr.
Foulke as "a friehtful yet profitable
object lesson of the inherent vices of j
the spoils system," which he said was
resulting in a serious public reaction
gainst the Volstead law He pre-
dieted, however, that attempts to

oe successiui
Cases in which prohibition agents
and state directors had been con
victed of corruption under both the
democratic and the republican ad
ministrations were cited by the speak
er as ''merely samples from the
bulk."
The posts of state director and '
enforement agent' were the most
coveted of the patronage plums," he ;
continued, "because bribery render-
ed them very profitable. Appoint-
ments were made on the behests or
senators and representatives who in
their turn generally followed the de
mands of the state, county and local
political organizntions. and the worst
men with the strongest political
backing secured the place3."
Prohibition Cf mmissioner Ilayres
and Attorney General Daugherty
were accused by Mr. Foulke of pur
suing a "policy :f concealment" re
garding violations of the law by
their subordinates, the effect of
which had been to lull the friends
of law and order into a false sense
of security. Nov- that the real con
dition is becoming known, he added,
public confidence in Commissioner
Haynes' official statements has been
utterly destroyed.

was laid to rest in Oak Hill cnie
DOES ADVERTISING PAY?

STATUTE NOT 1
QFERATIOH SAYS
SUPREME COURT
A. 0. U. W. Will Have to Pay For-
mer Nebraska City Woman In
surance of Husband.
From Saturday's Daily
The supreme court Friday
held
that the A. O. U. W. must pay to
Mrs. Christina Wirtele. for many
years a resident of Nebraska City,
the $2,000 due on a policy on the life
cf her husband. He joined the order
in 1896 and in 1914 he and his wife
went to Stuttgart, Germany, to live,
but still retained their American
citizenship.
Wirtele died there in 1915. and his
widow forwarded proofs of his death.
By means of a German submarine or
something like it the letter
neer
reached the secretary of the grand
lodge, and war breaking out with
Germany shortly thereafter the
American mails were closed to com
munications from the fatherland. So
it was that it was not until 1921 that !
the proofs were rlnally furnished.1
The order refused to pay on the
ground that more than five years
had elapsed since the death, and
this, under the contract, relieved it
of liability. j
The supreme court says that un- i
dor the trading with tlie enemy act,
Mrs. Wirtele came within the class
designated therein as "alien enemy," j
and could not, therefore, so long as
the war lasted, resort to the courts of
this country as a plaintiff. It also
holds that during the war period, the
operation of the statute of limita
tions was suspended in respect of
such alien enemy's cause of action
against a citizen or corporation of
the United States, she haTing lived
there during its duration and re
tained her American citizenship.
The claim was made that the alien
property custodian could have rep
resented her, but the court says that
no such powers were conferred by
congress upon him.
The order will
have to pay $250 attorney fees, these the Burlington freight house, Platts
being costs and properly chargeable mouth WEDNESDAY, Dec. 12th, one
at an adjourned session of the court.
It is not necessary that they be fixed
at the time judgment is entered.

From Saturday's Iaily
The report eminates from Nebras
ka City that there are a large num
ber of the residents of Otoe county
who are quite anxious to see a grand
jury called there as they have been
watching with interest the proceed-
igs of the Cass county investigat-
ing body and from the news that has
trickled through from our neighbor
ing county there seems a possibility
that a request for a jury may be
made there. Cases that have not been
aired out in the usual- channels will
prohably he handled berore the jury
if it is called. The residents there
seem to wish the "pitiless light' of
publicity" to shine forth before the
investigating body.
