ROURKES CAPTURE
FIRST HOME GAME
Marty O'Toole Returns Victo
rious in Pitchers' Duel
With Tony Faeth.
COLD OUTS DOWN CROWD
Omaha pried off the lid of the home
base ball season yesterday under cir
cumstances which only could be called
auspicious because Omaha captured
the event. 2 to 1. There was nothing
auspicious about anything else.
The weather man Monday promised
neat and nifty weather for Tuesday.
Then he double-crossed Rourke by
passing out a brand that might be the
occasion for much joy in the vicinity
of the. north pole, but fitted in per
fectly to augment the wounded feel
ings of Omaha on this very sad May
day.
The cold easily won the decision
over the fans and the Capper cup will
go elsewhere this year. The total
paid attendance could not have ex
ceeded 2,000, and those who did brave
the elements to prove their loyalty
and devotion to the team that brought
a pennant to Rourkeville almost froze
to death waiting for the ninth inning
to end.
The ground was in poor shape and
at first sight one would have deemed
it necessary to equip the athletes with
canoes, but despite the mud and
heavy going both teams put up good
article ot ball.
The fray was a pitchers' duel be
tween Marty O'Toole and Tony
Faeth, and Marty breasted the tape
first.. He allowed the Miner? but six
scattered hits and when they did as
semble three in a bunch in the fourth
frame retired the side without a score.
Krug; Hits Double.
For three rounds the Rourkes failed
to get even a nibble at the assortment
of slants dished up by Mr. Faeth. In
the fourth, however, Manager Krug
ripped off a screaming double to right
and Shag Thompson followed with a
single to Iett. fcarl bmith lofted
long scrince tiy to Dnlton, scoring
Krug. The fly was so long no attempt
was maae to aouoie Alarty at the rub.
ber.
Joplin evened the count in the sixth
when Lindamore completed the cir
cuit on one play. He reefed a double
to center for a starter and tried to
stretch it into a triple. Shag Thomp
son started tne throw, but Krug in
relaying it along beaned Lindamore
with the ball. The mil rolled into
the coop and Lindamore trotted home.
Bradley Triples.
Omaha put the winning run over
in tne nome halt ot the same inning.
With two down. Earl Smith shot a
drive to left and scooted home on Big
Bill Bradley's three-ply blow to right.
Omaha and Joplin are scheduled to
clash again this afternoon, starting at

When you do not relish your food
it is well to inquire the reason why.
Your stomach may be debilitated,
your liver toroid. vour bowels connti.
pated, or you may be eating too much.
many people eat more tnan they
should, particularly those of middle
age or older, and those of sedentary

relish for your food ariser from either
of these causes, correct your habits

City Has No Funds with Which
To Buy Garden
Mayor Dahlman Appeals for
Small Contributions to In
sure Plan's Success.
URGES CITIZENS TO AID
Under the charter restrictions, the
city commission has no authority to
use city funds for the purpose of
buying seed for those who desire to
put in garden! and are unable to
procure the same, according to
Mayor Dahlman.
The mayor explained that, in view
of the possibility of famine in food
stuffs, an ounce of prevention may be
worth pounds of cure. He is appeal
ing for small contributions toward a
fund of at least $150, with which to
buy seed ,and in some instances, ner-
haps, pay for plowing.
Lhecks should be made navable to
Carl Schreiber and mailed to the wel

DELAYS EXPLAINED
BY RAILWAY CLERK
Poor Mail Service, He Says, Is
Fault of Man at Head of
the Service.
"POOREST IN HISTORY'
A letter to The Bee, signed by "A
Railway Mail Clerk," gives a few "in
side tips" and some information on
mail delays and poor service. A foot
note to the letter explains that "our
gag rule prevents signing name,
adding that "the letter is proof that
these mails are withdrawn in spite of
an aemais on tne part ot the superior
office, for such letters as these are
merely for postal employes.
"It has been some time since the
delays and poor mail service have
been brought before the public eye,"
the letter continues. "Since then the
ax of the postmaster general has
again fallen on several of the shorter
lilies in our home state, by taking
service off and putting closed pouch
service in its place, in spite of our
protests and of our congressman. It
has now come to the point where
nothing but daily papers and letters
are to be carried on mail trains,
everything else being taken off from
connecting mail trains and rehandled
and reworked in these terminals.
"For instance, a party in Chicago
sending a common piece of parcel
post matter to some point in Idaho,
instead of making direct connection
with our westbound mail train out of
Omaha, it has to be reworked and
leaves Council Bluffs from twenty
four to forty-eight hours later. It is
this class of mail, circulars and print
ed matter, from which the denart-
ment deiives a great share of its reve
nue, and still it is known among the
higher officials as 'trash,' at least that
is what it is named by them.
Many Men Quitting.
"The fact of the matter is that
there are so manv of the bovs ouit-
ting that intimidation lias taken nlace
on the part of our superior officers,
cauiionmg me clerks mat we are
working under a military rule and lay
ourselves liable by resigning, al
though this did not stop a number of
clerks m Chicago from resiffiiino-.
where mail congestion is so nn-at
that if no more mail were rerriverl it
would take from four to six weeks
with full force to clean it all tin.
Again, the 'space paying' business has
wrought havoc with California mails,
as usually all the California mail is
taken off the train to be reworked.
Next day it is reloaded and if more is
accumulated than the car will hold it
is left ever again, and so on until a
light day it may leave the terminal
all at one time.
"Du-ing these times when we
should have the best of service in

extent, says the mayor.
"In order to systematize the work.
I have asked City Solicitor Fleharty
to supervise the assignment on the
ground and seed and the work of in

as it is the desire to ascertain just

"I earnestly urge every citizen who
can spare the time to canvass i few
blocks in the entghborhood in which
he lives and report to Mr. Fleharty
the families that have gardens and
those that have not, to call Mr. Fle

DOMESTIC COURT
OPENEDJN OMAHA
Family Differences that Fre
quently Break Up Homes
to Be Adjusted.
HELP MISMATED COUPLES
A court of domestic relations was,
established in Omaha yesterday by
Police Judge R. J. Madden. He did
this on his own Initiative.
The object of the court will be to
keep domestic disputes out of the
public court The sessions of the do
mestic relations court will be private.
"We shall try to bring husband and
wife together and settle their differ
ences before formal complaint is is
sued," said Judge Madden. "This can
be' don? in many cases. Where it
cannot the regular court procedure
will be followed.
"In many cases wives undergo mis
treatment and hardship almost un
bearable from inconsiderate husbands,
and they endure this for years, be
cause they shrink from the publicity
of court action. In many such cases
by advice and assistance unhappy
homes can be made happy.
"Many unhanny marriages are
caused by the husband not taking
ins responsibilities seriously. He
squanders his money, or is taiy,
drunken or indifferent. Often ser
ious heart-to-heart talk with such a
man will make a good husband of
him, and the home which was in
danger of being wrecked is made
happy." 1
ihe new court which is an in
novation in Omaha, will hold its ses
sions at the police station in the aft
ernoon. It will not attempt to deal
with the more serious problems, such
as wife abandonment, which come
under the jurisdiction of the criminal
courts.
