Fireworks Fail • to Materialize in City Council j Nr- C. T. U. Delegation Left! Holding Sack When Mayor Moves to Adjourn the Session. Twelve women tensed for expected action, members of the Omahn W. C. T. U., sat in city council chamber Tuesday morning. Mayor Dahlman with six council men and city clerk droned over routine petitions. Representatives of the press sat with poised pencils. Beyond the railing sat the usual motley gathering of lawyers, boot leggers and good citizens. Kxpectancy charged the air, for— Rumor had spread that Dan B. But ler, commissioner of police, was to be removed; that— Search Held Illegal. Patrolmen Reilly and Kggers. late searchers of automobiles in suspected district* for contraband liquor, were to be suspended or—something. Previ ous meeting had produced legal opinion that the officers were conduct ing illegal search. The drone of City Clerk Claude Bessie's voice came to a grinding wop. There was a second of dramatic pause. Women of the W. C. T. U. leaned forward—onlookers and attor neys, and political hangers-on sat'up. "That all the business?" Mayor Dayman's voice was scarcely audible. ‘■That’s All.” "That’s all," said Bossie. „ "Move to adjourn," snapped the mayor, his words being quickly fol y lowed by a sharp intake of breath. Dike machine gun fire, beginning with Ivoutsky, at the mayor’s left, five succeeding councilmen snapped; "Sec ond the motion.” The sixth raised a querilous eye at his co-officials, then behind the trace of a smile on lips hardly opened he said "Second.” The councilmen rose. W. C. T. U. members stared blankly, obviously ^^fttinned. No motion was made in the F^ crowd outside the railing until one by one councilmen began to leave the chamber. Newspaper men darted to various members of the council ply ing questions—“What—Did you put over the Reilly-Kggers action—How about Butler?” Mayor Is Halted. Maydr Dahlman, halted on his way to the door by one of the W. C. T. DT. members, engaged in surreptitious conversation. The woman moved away. "What was expected?” blankly ask ed the mayor to rapid-fire queries. "I Mission Romance Leads to Altar t Ralph H. Rohrberg visited the Kountze Memorial Rutheran mission at Nineteenth and Castelar three years ago. Rapidly he gained an In terest in the work, taught a class in Sunday school and finally was placed in full charge by Rev. O. D. Baltzly and Rev. George Dorn. About a year ago a new teacher came from the parent church to the mission. She was Miss Frieda Hol stein, a fair and charming young woman. Mr. Rothrberg's enthusiasm for the. =====-.1—1.1 mission grew greater than ever aftei Miss Holstein took a class. And tonight they will be married at Kountze Memorial church! Mr. Lohrberg has a position with the Standard Oil company. In hie spare time he has canvassed the city in a radius of eight blocks on each side of the mission. He has brought many into the little church. The Sunday school, which had 30 members when he went there, now has 90. "Yes, indeed, we expect to keep right on working in the little mis sion after our marriage,’’ said Mr. I.ohrberg happily. think the ladies saw a very business like meeting. I hope they vote a resn lution to that effect.” And that he dii hope it was read also in the light of Mayor Dahlman's eyes. He continued. His mind flitted quickly from one thing to another. "Xo action necessary. The legal opinion says search of cars is illegal. What more can I say? Yes, action might be brought for suspension of the officers guilty. I don’d contem plate it at this time, however. I wonder what everybody expected would happen today. It was a very business like meeting." Xo Rain Checks. "Expressions on the ladies’ faces.” drawled. Commissioner Hopkins, ‘ look ed like they expected rain checks.” Only action taken outside of routine of council meeting was appointment of a committee—Commissioners Dunn. Hummel and Koutsky—to check claims against the city held by Metro politan Utilities district, to lighten the burden of court litigation over alleged claims of the district against the city totaling in the neighborhod of $35,000. This motion was made by Commis sioner Dunn, ahd there was no dis senting vote. Members of the IV. C. T. lr. declined to say whether they would attend other meetings of the council. 8 More American Dead. Washington. Sept.

Hastings, Neb., Sepjt. 18.—Gover nor Bryan strongly advocated the use of gravel In Nebraska road building, in an address at the Hastings Cham ber of Commerce luncheon Monday afternoon. The governor was the principal speaker among a number of guests who were here to attend the state convention of the American I.eglon. The governor’s observations on a trip of some 1.400 miles of graveled roads In Minnesota during the sum mer bad convinced him, he said, that gravel should he used In Nebraska. Governor Bryan said the statu should operate its own gravel supply, j He declared that gravel Is now han dled by a monopoly In Nebraska and that prices have been excessive. A mere inquiry by the state looking to the operation of a plant at Ashland had brought a reduction In price, he said, of nearly one-third. The governor to the chumber of the state-owned cement plant in So-Jth Dakota, which he understood was a money-saving enterprise for the state. He said he was not in favor of the state engaging in in dustries except to hold monoplies in check. Samson Defies Wet Weather Al^-Sar-Ben Pageant Will Be Five Miles Long.
