WOMAN FULFILLED
Judge Wharton Sees that Every
Wish of Washerwoman ii
Carried Out
SAVES HOME FOR CHILDREN
John C. Wharton, postmaster, re
cently completed a trust which wu
reposed In him over a year ago by
a dying woman.
This woman came to him when
she was a poor widow with two chil
dren and had been taking In wash
ing to support her family and buy
her home.
She had made payments on the
little house until she had only 1150
more to pay. But the real estate
man claimed she had $4 50 to pay,
alleging that because she had made
$300 of the payments to his partner
with whom he had ceased business
relations she still owed the larger
sum.
Colonel Wharton went to see him.
He was armed with, all the receipts
for payments made. He gave the
real estate man ten days to send him
the deed. And the deed arrived all
right.
Dl4 a Hospital.
Six months later the woman died at
Imraanuel hospital. On her death bed she
ent for Colorel Wharton and askod
him to take rherr of her affaire.
Nothing else would eatlsfy her and
finally he consented.
At the funeral he, in accordance with
her request, delivered an address.
After the funeral he secured a position
for her bob with the Pord Motor com
pany where ha U getting along well. Then
he secured a purchaser for the little home
for $1,000 and this entire sum ho has
divided Into two parts and placed in the
Conservative Savings and Imnn associa
tion to the credit of the son and daughter.
Lawyers Play Part
in Business Affairs,
Says Barkworth
N That eourt procedure Is no lonirer the
most Important phase of legal practice,
but that lawyers must take a construc
tive part In the business affaire of the
country, waa held by Thomne J5, Park
worth. Jackson, Mich.. In his address to
the Barrlstere club at noon at tha Com
mercial club rooms.
Mr. Parkworth'asaerted that he remem
bered when lawyers were looked upon as
men of no business ability, hut declared
that day has passed and with tha rap.
Idly developing business activities, law
yers are more and more In demand as
a necessary part of tha machinery of a
big business.
"Big corporations are not as bad lobby
ists as some people think." added Mr.
Barkworth. "for there Is doubtless a great
deal of imagination about the evil In
fluences of the corporate Interests In the i
lobbies. The various state bureaus are I
much more to be watched, for they have
Influence with the legislatures, being In
a sense of the official family of tha state,
and they are constantly puttlnj through
all sorts of legislation."
Men With Families
to Get Preference
"There Is an unwarranted Influg of
laborers and skilled workmen to Omaha,
Induced to coma litre by reports ap
pearing in newspapers of other cities, "
stated L. A. Weast, business agent of
Hod Carriers' and Common laborers'
union to Superintendent Schrelber of tha
Welfare board.
On Friday Mr, Weaat met In one group
of unemployed men a printer from New
Tork. eandymaker from Houston and a
machinist from Salt I-ake City, all Of
whom stated that they had read of de
mands for workmen In. Omaha.
"It Is well enough to send out reports
of Omaha's prosperity, but I do not be
lieve It Is right to give the Impression that
thera is more work her than the bona
fide rtsldrnt workman ran do," stated
Mr, Schrelber.
A larga percentage of the applicants
for work at the Welfare board office
are Omaha men and most of them have
dependent families. This class will be
given first consideration by the employ
ment bureau of the board.
