Drouth of Telegraphers
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, July IS. (Special.) The
war situation is liable to cause a
drouth in telegraphers and railroads
v are wondering what can be done to
cover the proposition.
The law prohibits the employment
of telegraphers by railroad companies
under 21 years of age at night or to
keep young women employed more
than eight hours a day.
A. A. McLaughlin attorney for the
Northwestern railroad has taken the
matted up with the Sfate Legal de
partment with the idea of having the
law suspended during the period of
me war it it can be done. He says
that the war has brought about a
shortage of telegraph operators and
the railroads are going to be up
against the proposition of efficient
service if something is not done. He
believes that the war situation comes
within the provision that the law can
be suspended by "an act of God, in
case of a wreck oV some public
calamity."
Governor Neville has already an
nounced that there will be no sus
pension of the law regarding hours
of female labor as has also President
Wilson. Chairman Hall of the rail
way commission fays the commission
will be guided by the opinion of At
torney General Reed. Deputy At
torney General Roe thinks that per
haps there may be some grounds for
the complaint, but. will let Mr. Reed
decide the matter when he reutrns
from Washington, where' he is now
interested in the interests of the state
in the irrigation suit against Wyo-
ming for possession of waters of the
Platte river.

Woodard for consultation Friday, ac
cording to the deputy, wjll have a

For Death of Infant
(From a Staff Correspondent)
Lincoln, Neb.. July 15. (Soecial.)
It is believed that the parties respon
sible for the death of the 6-year-old
boy found in Salt creek, near Electric
park in this city, have been discov
ered and Deputy Sheriff Wymore and
Deputy County Attorney Mann are
nowx m ueadwood, Ja. JJ., with the
pair under arrest.

known barber of Lincoln named
Grover C. Barron, who has a wife
and two children in Arkansas, and
Grace M. Brown, the prettiK 20-vear-
old wife of Guy Brown, a well known
citizen of University Place.
A clue to the murder was first re
ceivea oy me snerirr, wnen an un
J 1 . I rf t
known person telephoned of the al
leged birth of a baby to the Brown
woman, who was supposed to be the
wife of Barron, who was reported to
have been living with her at a certain
rooming house. A . woman who
claimed to have been present at the
birth of the child identified thexdress
found on the dead infant.
It as then discovered that two rail
road tickets had been wired Barron
and the Brown woman from Dead
wood over the Burlington and that
they had left Lincoln without a child,
It is supposed that they will fight ex
tradition and Deputy Russell Mann
accompanied the sheriff for the pur
pose ot looking after the case.
In case they fight the extradition
a charge will be filed against Barron
for white slavery for transporting the
woman from Nebraska to South Da
kota and the matter turned over to

Thirsty Omahans "Buy"
Grill at Kansas City
Kansas City, Mo. July IS. (Spe
cial Telegram.) It is very dry in
Omaha. It is so dry that about a
month ago thirty or forty prosperous
citizens of wet proclivities banded to
gether under the name of the "Milion
aires Club," and laid plans for an ex
cursion to Kansas City.
The time set, July 14, and the scene
of festivities, the Edward grill.
The club, in its excitement, forgot
to notify Manager Donegan of its
impending arrival. Thursday some
member had the happ idea that it
might be well to notify the Edward.
Accordingly he sent a telegram,
which Donegan received just as he
was about to leave for New York.
