Couaty Jail la Crowded One hundred

reason that Tuesday when Sheriff A. J.
Spearman of Sarpy county telephoned
Sheriff Bralley. taking him to take an In

dations there, that Braliey was compelled
to refuse for exactly the same reason.

FACT AND CIGIRKS.
Report
the Wsodaes
af the
World Affairs.
To correct certain statements made In a
report recently published, we call atten
tion to the following facts and figures:
On December 11, 1910, the Woodmen of
the World had M3.4C members.
Applications written during 1910. 111,906.
Total, gross expense of field work. Includ
ing compensation and expenses of state,
district and local organisers, to08.574.M.
We collected 1100 certificate fee from
each applicant Ills, 906. 00.
Actual net cost of field work, $389,669.86,
which the report calls "enormous," the
average coat of each application being $3.n,
and for each 11.009 Inaurance .77, which
la less than that of any other organisation
in America. Th. only regret Is that th.
outlay and number of members obtained
waa not double as much. Only on. order In
th. I'nlted States obtained aa many n.w
members.
4.164 deaths Incurred during the year,
amounting to ti,8J2,200.0i.
Amount added to emergency fund during
year, $2,0S,S.tl.
Total emergency fund Slat of December,
1910, lll.2M.42S.6l.'
eates since adopted. $2,904.625 00; amount
saved on accumulative certificates dur
ing year 1910, I44a.37t.00, which shows
that the newspaper suggestion of la
adequacy of rates la without justification.
Aa to extravagance In mileage and per
diem of delegate, to the supreme meeting,
that Is a matter determined by the dele
gates who represent the membership, and
meet biennially. The Norfolk (1907) con
vention waa certainly liberal In this re
spect, occasioned by the high hotel rates
and other expenses prevailing at that time
owing to the Jamestown exposition. Th.
report admits that this waa reduced at the
1309 convention at Detroit to the standard
which prevails In most other societies.
Tho real estate of th. order ran be sold
st an advance of over $1(0,000.00 more than
its original cost to the society.
The statement In th. report that the coat
of printing and supplies Is "exorbitant"
may be the opinion of the clerks who pre
pared the report. That advertising pays Is
evidenced by the phenomenal success of
the Woodmen. The Beacon Press, of which
my son Is a stockholder, has been hereto
fore awarded contracta simply because that
company (Incorporated In 1905) does the
work cheaper than any other competitive
bidders. Since the report was published,
after- advertising two months for proposi
tions to furnish printing and supplies, the
several sealed bids were opened and con
sidered, the Beacon Press bid being $J.07
lower than the highest and $1,71 75 lower
than the next lowest bid, was again
swarded the contract by the committee on
supplies, with concurrence of th. finance
committee. No officer or employe of the
Woodmen of the World has any financial
Interest In tha Beaeon Press.
Th. order has aever been required to pay
any copyright oa anything. All of which
goes to show that the published report Is
manifestly unfair and misleading.
The report, however, declares that losses
are promptly paid, the accounts accurately
kept and tha affaire In splendid condition.

The Brandola theater was well filled yes.
terday afternoon with an enthusiasts au
dlonoe which had assembled to do honor
to Miss Mary Munchhoff by listening to
her song recital with the utmost Interest,
by showerln her with outbursts of ap
plause and by laying at ber feet the
choicest flowers-a real garden of them.
But It was not because Miss Munchhoff
Is an Omaha girl that this was done; not
because she clsims Omaha as her "home,
In spite of success abroad. The real rea
son was that Miss Mary Munchhoff has
succeeded In the work which she set out
to do. If there Is any one point which Is
pre-eminently of advaotsge to the student
In contemplating Miss Munchhoff s career
It la the faithful and patient perseverance
which She has displayed and the manner
In which she has consistently upheld the
gospel of jiard work. Miss Munchhoff was
not endowed with what the world calls a
gxeat voice, and therefore all the more
glory and credit to her that she has such
good results to show for ber years of
study, and, be It noted, that she Is even
now studying aa closely and as much as
ever she has studied, for ber capacity for
work la remarkable.
Mary Munchhoff has an artistic con
science, which all visiting artists do not
possess. This was exemplified in a two
fold manner yesterday. First, by nature
of the program which she presented, a
program full of beautiful difficultly; a
program which was one of the best ever
given ',iere, whereas the singers local pop
ularity would have made it possible for
her to offer almost anything, and have It
accepted. The second proof waa tie sup
plying of tranalatlona In English of every
song she sang, aa truly conscientious
artists do, and there afa few of them, a
nnbla few. who do not want to take every
copper -that comes Into tho treasury, but
are willing to spend some money in
ni.hliis a meana of getting together be
. .v.. .rtit anil those who do not
know the foreign language In which aaid
artist la singing and would like to know
what la being sung about

I atari to again cell your ate ntlon to the
condition of Hie city jail building which
I have done in past years, but It Is com
ing to a time now when this building. In
my Judgment, will have to be torn down
and a new one built, as It Is wholly Inade
quate in every particular to accommodate
with any degree of safety antf comfort
those who are compelled to occupy aald
building.
'I l Is useless for me to complalr: of the
Inadequate amount of funds available to
tarry our department through the year
W1I aa you ore fully aware of that fact.
I presume we will have to be contented
with conditions as they are until we get
some relief In 1912.
"I wish to thank your honorable body for
the trust and confidence reposed In the de
partment and for the many courtesies es- i
tended to myself and all members of the
department during the year."
The total receipts of the police depart
ment for the year reached $IM.H.50. The
disbursements aggregated 1734.90. There
were 35,903 meals served to prisoners.
The cases tried In police court during the'
year resulted in 5.243 convictions from the
total number of arrests. Of the cases tried
1J,(V!9 were those of accused males.
Thirty Suicides la Year.
There were thirty suicldea during the last
yaar and thirty persons who attempted to
end their own lives.
CM those arrested l.f) were charged with
breaking and entering and burglary, dvo
with driving through funerals, five with
murder, 11 with violating the speed ordi
nance, seven for violating the daylight
saloon law, nineteen for breaking road rules
and one with spitting on the sidewalk.
The Board of Fire and Police Commis

Mr. Henry Kolker, who Is helping to
carry out the long established policy of
Manager Henry W. Savage of asaistlng the
American playwright, finds that It Is prac
tically Impossible to personally reply to all
the many inquiries regarding this work.
Mr. Kolker gives the following explanation
of the plan:
Those wishing to Join In the movement
may send their manuscripts (or, better, a
scenario of each play) to Henry W. Sav
age, cars of the Cort theater. New York
City. I
There la absolutely no feo asked and no
obligations Incurred of any sort.
Kach manuscript or scenario will b. read
and analysed by Mr. Kolker and his as
sistants, and the author Will be advised by
mail of the further steps suggested.. ,
In cases which seem to warrant such ac
tion the author will b. asked to personally
attend a reading of the manuscript and a
discussion of the points involved. If deemed
desirable by Mr. Kolker the Veadlng of the
manuscript will be In the nature of a re
hearsalwith the several roles In the hands
of tha other members of "The Great
Name" company who have consented to
assist, this with the purpose of visualizing
the important scenea.

William H. Smith, Former Director of

Any Rights Under Contract.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 22. A permanent
Injunction was granted today In the district
court prohibiting Will am H. Smith, form
erly a director' of the American Orapho
phone company, from asserting any rights
against the company under a contract
entered Into June 1!, 18, giving Smith and
others certain royalties on any use the
company might make of the Capps process
for the preparation of graphophone records.
Smith filed suit In 1903 declaring the
MacDonnld process then employed by the
company made use of the principle peculiar
to the Capps process and sought to have
the contract declared valid as affecting the
MacDonnld method. .
The suit Involves nearly $500000 In royal
tlee, alleged by Smith and his associates
to be duo them. The company dented sny
simulartty between the two processes ex
Isted and contended that Smith, as a di
rector of tbe company, had no right to
make such a contract. The court upheld
the latter contention and ordered a perma
