Auto Owners Must
Pay for Water for
Washing Machines
Water Commissioner Howell has cre
ated a furore among the women who own
automobiles. Bills are being sent out for
"auto water supply" and each owner is
being asked to contribute $1.50 for water
used in washing automobiles for the last
six months.
Mr. Howell is sending out several hun
dred such notices, regardless of whether
the owners of autos wash their machines
at all. This fixed charge of $3 per year,
collected by the old water company, will
be continued by the water board.
Owners of electrics are not exempt
from this' ruling, neither Is the owner of
a horse, for which the same charge Is
made. All unmetered consumers of water
will be compelled to pay the extra charge
regardless of flat rates.

Dana Van Dusen, editor of the 1912
Cornhusker and former captain of Com
pany K of the University of Nebraska
cadet drill corps, received a notification
announcing his commission as a captain
of the state militia from Governor Aid
rich Tuesday. If desired this commls
sion In the militi b granted to captains
of cadet companies of the university at
the completion of their course and It is
significant of the fact that the student
has finished his military -work in credit
able standing.
Together with Donald Wood and Alfred
Kennedy, first and second lieutenants,
respectively, of Company K, both Omaha
boys, Van Dusen, captain of the same
company, was reduced to the ranks fol
lowing an early morning forced hike from
the spring encampment at Crete for al
leged failure to maintain order In their
company. There was considerable stu
dent resentment to the action at the time
and members of Company K purchased a
handsome saber and presented it to Van
Dusen not long after the Crete affair.
This award of his commission adds
to his vindication from the criti
cism hurled against him by univer
sity authorities during his last month in
school, as the Cornhusker book was re
cently upheld by Postmaster General
Frank Hitchcock at Washington as being
in compliance with the postal regulations.
when the charges were brought up, but
Police Commissioner Ryder reinstated
him last week.

Special Provision
Pays Company A
The men of Company A of the Signal
corps, stationed at Fort Omaha, are to
receive their pay for the month of June
before starting on their trip to Bridge
port, Conn., for the national maneuvers
at that place. This order came to army
headquarters In Omaha. The company Is
to start for Connecticut August 3. While
the other troops In the division have not
yet been paid for June, 1912. on account
of a deficit in the fund which has not
yet been made up by a special bill of
congress, special provision Is made for the
payment of A company on account of the
trip they are obliged to take. As Thurs
day Is the first of August and as the
troops are usually paid within the first
few days of the month, A company will
likely get the salary for two months Just
before starting east. The pay for July
comes out of the 1913 appropriation, and
is therefore not affectefl by tba defici
ency of the army fund of 1912 that leaves
tae June salaries still unpaid.
Superstition as to depositing money in
banks cost G. L. Steck, a grocer at 1008
North Sixteenth street, $1,300 In gold, rep
resenting five years' savings, when a
dusky-skinned burglar pilfered the cash
drawer at the Steck store. The theft was
committed Saturday night, but the police
have kept the matter dark since that
time.
Roy Jackson and Llllie Donnelly, both
colored, were arrested on vagrancy
charges Sunday afternoon at 3610 Izard
street and were sentenced to sixty days
each in police court Monday. The police
believe this pair to be connected with the
robbery.
Steck closed up the store at 10:30 o'clock
Saturday night and paid a visit to a bar
ber shop a few blocks from his place of
business. Upon returning a half hour
later with his wife he found the cash
drawer lying on the floor near the front
door. Mrs. Steck walked towards the rear
of the store and a colored man lumped
from behind the counter and rushed out
the back door. Steck fired several shots
at the fleeing man without any result.
When Steck fired the gun two police
sergeants and two officers, who were In
the alley In the rear of the store waiting
to make a raid on a disorderly house,
rushed up. However, they were not In
time V catch the thief.
Five years ago Steck's father lost $5,000
when a local bank stopped operations.
Since that time he has been afraid to de
posit his money In the banks and has
carried it around with him. The money
stolen was to be paid to Steck's mother
tomorrow for a mortgage she holds on the
store.
The thief passed up $200 in the cash
register.
