URE TAKES RAP !
AT LEGAL AIDES
IN CITY COUNCIL
.Commissioner and Mayor Speak !
Out in Meeting Over the
Opinion Given by At
torney Weaver.
The Tuesday morning rev ival meet
ing of the city council was enlivened
-hen Commissioner Ure directed a
few words at the mayor and the city
legal department, breaking the ennui
and the tedium and a few other
things.
Last week two documents were re
ceived by the council from the city
legal department, the text of which
was conflicting. Those papers were
returned with a icqm'si that the city's
official exponents of the law should
get together and state which of the
documents should be the law. The
result of that action was that City At
torney Weaver returned an opinion
that the council could legally assign
the asphalt repair department from
the street department to the public
works department, but would not be
within the law if the funds were ic
apportioned
"I move that this opinion be re
turned to the city attorney with a
request that he give us his opinion,"
Commissioner Ure began, with ac
tent on "his." i
Smith Wields Gavel.
"That is his opinion," retorted the
tnayor, bringing the gavel down on
the table with a whack which rever
berated through the municipal halls.
"If voti knew the storv as I know
t, you would know otherwise. That
opinion is foolish and it is nonsense.
The first opinion was not satisfactory
, to the mayor and it was modified,"
JJre continued.
Mayor Smith held the gavel in his
hand as if to accentuate the incisive
jiess of his reply.
"Your understanding is entirely
wrong. I did not see nor hear of the
, first opinion until it was submitted
fcere."
"That purports to be the opinion of
Mr. Weaver. Let us get the opinion
of Weaver and Lambert," Ure replied,
Jits face growing more serious.
' '"I know that Weaver knows bet
. fcer, for he told me so. 1 will be
puided by my own judgment," was
the interjection by Commissioner
Zimman. .
Irony by Butler.
' "Let us abolish the legal depart
ment. We all know the law. We
would cut down expenses," was a bit
f irony by Commissioner Butler.
"I'd like to give Weaver another
thance," Ure said in conclusion.
" The legal department asserts that
what the council pleases to designate
3 the "first opinion," should not have
gone to the council at all; that it went
by reason of a faux pas.
The alleged first opinion sustained
the council in taking the asphalt
plant away from Butler, while the
second opinion in effect reserves the
Other opinion.
Two Husbands Prove
Inconvenient For
Mrs. Mary Peterson
' Neglect of a little detail like mak
ing sure before she married a second
time that her first husband had actu
ally divorced her has perhaps involved
Mrs. Mary Peterson in serious diffi
culties, according to annulment pro
ceedings filed in district court Mon
day. Mrs. Fetcrson was Mrs. .William
Little before she married James M
Peterson last April. Little had left
his wife at their Iowa home and dis
, appeared for eighteen months. From
apparently trustworthy sources Mrs.
Little was informed that her husband
had secured a divorce.
This is the point where Tcterson
steps in. Without verifying the report
of Little having secured a divorce, she
married Peterson.
Comes now the alarming news that
Little had never secured a separation
and that Mrs. William Little-James
M. Peterson has two husbands instead
of but one. So she and Peterson at
, once separated and have not lived to
gether since.
She has petitioned the district court
to cancel the marriage with Peter
son. Visits Town of Which His
. Grandfather Was Founder
Percy L. Brown, president of the
Montana Land and Life Insurance
company of Bozeman, Mont., is in the
city for a few days visiting his rela
tive, Alfred Sorenson. Mr. Brown
was born in Omaha, and his grand
father, William D. Brown, was one
f the founders of this city, having
Started and owned the original Coun
cil Bluffs and Omaha ferry, and was
ne of the seven owners of the
..Original tqwnsite of Omaha.
Percy Brown is interested in large
tracts of land in Gallatin, Sweet Grass,
Musselshell and Rosebud counties
the choicest valleys of Montana
which he proposes to throw on the
market in the near future for in
dividual purchasers and for coloniza
tion purposes. This is Mr. Brown's
-first visit to Omaha since his boy
hood days and in going over the town
he cast his eyes on many a piece
cf property once owned by his grand
father and which today are valued at
inillions of dollars.
Ure Offers Ordinance to
I Null Butler's Referendum
. Referendum petitions recently filed
with the city council, in behalf of
Commissioner Butler, who wants to
retain the aspjialt repair plant, will be
rendered void if an ordinance offered
fcy Commissioner Ure should be
passed by the council.
- The petitions, which require either
tescinding action bjr the council or
'iubmission of the asphalt plant scrap
to the voters, are aimed against an
ordinance which embraces various
city hall departmental assignments.
ilhe Ure ordinance includes
alLj
changes except the asphalt plant
(assignment.
j Some of the councilmen believe this
yill settle the contention and obviate
pit necessity of a referendum election.

the women's Liberty loan work on
the western side of the Rockies. "I've
been wearing the same old brown
plumes on winter and summer hats."
"N'o newf lathes for the children, or
as few as possible." said Mrs. Frank
A. Vanderlip, member of the national
committee, who explained that her
own children are dressed in the blue
denim French peasant's smocks.
The women leaders of the nation
emphasized ;hat thrift must become
fashionable to aid the new loan and
pledged themselves to every economy
of personal expenditure so that they
might better the record made in the

bonds were sold by women.
$1,300,000 LOAN
AUTHORIZED FOR
MOFFITRAILWAY
District Court Ruling in Colo
rado Means Much for Ne
braska; Will Issue, Re
ceivers' Certificates.
Last Friday at Brighton, Col., the
district court issued an order of great
importance to Nebraska. It author
ized the receivers of the Denver &
Salt Lake railroad the .Moffat line
i to issue $1,300,000 in first lien certifi-
jcatrs, to bear 6 per cent and run two
j years; the proceeds to be used for
the rehabilitation of the railway,
j The understanding is that the gov
j eminent will take the certificates,
i Outstanding obligations, aggregating
($300,000, will be paid, and $1,000,000
expended for additional equipment,
betterments and improvements.
The Moffat line is the outlet for
the Routt county coal field, the bi
tuminous coal bin of Nebraska. For
the last year coal has not moved free
ly over the line, because of the bad
condition of the road and its lack of
equipment. During the summer, the
necessary improvements can be made;
so that by next winter coal may move
steadily into Nebraska and Kansas.
Inexhaustible SuddIv.
The Routt county and Moffat coun
ty coal fields are inexhaustible. The
action just taken means that from
now on the government will be inter
ested in the 'efficient and continuous
operation of the railway, and in the
further development of the coal fields
upon which Nebraska largely depends.
Fuel Administrator Kennedy has
been particularly insistent that the
MofTat line be kept up and be kept
open. ' Otherwise. Nebraska would
be almost wholly deprived of bitumin
ous coal.
"The general situation in Nebraska
will be considerably improved by the
action taken, but the effect of it must
not be overestimated," Mr. Kennedy
says. "Coal orders must go in early,'
bins must be filled, and every effort
made to increase and tonscrve the
fuel supply."

OMAHANS TAKE
PART IN STATE
INDUSTRY MEET
Session at Lincoln Called to
.Determine Facilities for
Handling War Contracts
in Nebraska.
Representatives of nearly every in
dustry in Omaha accompanied Com
missioner Robert Manlcy and J. M
Gillan, of the Chamber of Commerce,
to Lincoln Tuesday morning, to at
tend the state industrial meeting
called there by F. S. Knapp, snb-
I regional director for Nebraska, of the
resources and conversion section of
the war industries board.
At this meeting a canvass will be
taken of the output and facilities of alt
of the industries of the state .o deter
mine whether or not they will be in a
position to handle war contracts, or
! be capable of expanding those already
on liand by increasing facilities ot
labor and machinery to enlarge their
outputs.
F.very plant represented at the
meeting will be surveyed and its
agents asked to what extent tliey can
be depended upon in turning out war
supplies.
The meeting will be the first step
taken in Nebraska to provide the gov
ernment with practical information
as to the equipment of the factories
in the state to handle contracts and
will also be he first step toward put
ting into execution the plan of the
war industries board to spread war
manufacturing over a greater section
of the country in order to meet the in
creasing demands.
Just as soon as the war industries
board can learn to what extent Ne
braska manufacturers can meet the
demands for products demanded by
war activities, contracts will be placed
with the factories equipped for the
work throughout the state and the in
dustries of Omaha will be required to
speed up in output in order.to take ad
vantage of them.
"Kansas Black Eye'' Proves
Expensive for Omaha Man
Two beautiful black eyes were pro
duced in evidence in the case of
Andrew Ash and wife, tried in police
court for fighting, drunkenness and
unlawful possession of liquor Tuesday
morning.
Whatever may have been their
previous differences the twain were
united in protesting that the officer
was all wrong in making the arrest.
The feminine black eye was declared
to have been received in a fall down
stairs, while that which adorned the
countenance of Mr. Ash came, so it
was stated, from the Kansas harvest
fields.
The presence of two bottles of li
quor was all a terrible mistake also,
the bottles having been in a package
which a stranger left at the house for
safekeeping while he visited a restau
rant. Mrs. Ash was sent home, but
an admonitory fine was imposed on
Mr. Ash by Judge- Fitzgerald.
Two Arrested for Alleged
Possession of Liquor
Alonzo Caldwell was arrested Tues
day morning, charged with the illegal
possession of liquor. The same
charge was placed against Ella Carlh
cr. It is alleged that Caldwell trans
ported the liquor from St. Joe for

explanation, biological or otherwise,
for his complete acceptance of kultur

is, I am convinced, entirely sincere
in the belief that in working in the in

This is the story, then, of a symbol
and a manifestation rather than of
an individual. It is what Dr. Rumely
stands for and the powers and pur

ly, with a few others, settled upon the
little village of La Porte, in the rich
farming country of northern Indiana.
as their stopping place.
Father Sets Up His Forge.
Here Meinrad Rumely, the black
smith, set up his forge. The farmers
brought their tools to him to be re
paired and sharpened, their plows and
harrows, their wagons to be repaired,
their horses to be shod. Under the
tickling of the immigrants' plows the
prairie soil laughed into bountiful
harvests.
The farmers prospered; soon the
young German blacksmith had to hire I
a helper; before long he had several. ;
He understood the farmers and spoke i
their language; they brought their
troubles to him. Agricultural imple
ments in that day were crude and
trifling affairs compared with the
tools with which the modern farmer
works.
The same rich prairie soil that grew
the wheat and corn and barley so
luxuriantly also produced weeds in
abundance. To separate the weed
seeds from the grain, after the thresh- ,
ing, was a difficult problem. 1
Winter nights, as he smoked his :
long-stemmed, china-bowled pipe,
Meinrad Rumely was planning ways '
to solve this vexing problem of his j
tanning neighbors. Finally he built
a crude machine. Next harvest he
tried it and it worked. ""The farmers
saw it and liked it and asked him to
build more of them. In another two
or three years the village blacksmith
shop had developed into a manufac
turing plant where the Rumely grain
separators were being turned out.
Business Grows and Prospers.
The business grew and prospered
So did Meinrad Rumely's family, 'jr
lie had taken unto himself a wife, of
the blood and the soil of his native
land. By and by the sign reading
"M. Rumely" came down and a new
one went up. It read "M. Rumely &
Sons." The village of Laporte grew,
too, and with its growth the family
fortune of M. Rumelv & Sons in
creased, for he had bought land in j
ine cany days, and ins sons iaij
bought, and now that land was in de
mand for factories and for homes fo
people who worked in the factories
And M. Rumely & Sons added other
agricultural implements to their line

To Make Living Tanlac
Restores Him.
"I don't know what the people ma
think when I tell them I have gained
eighteen pounds, but it's the truth
and I have just finished taking my
fourth bottle of Tanlac," was the re
markable statement made by Carl A.
Peterson, of 1942 Q street, Tacoma,
Wash., while in the French Druj
Store recently. Mr. Peterson is an
expert electrician and is employed by
the Tacoma Smelting and Refining
Company.
"Beginning about six months age
with stomach trouble," continued Mr
Peterson, "I lost weight and strength
until it looked like I was going to
get down to where I could not worii

feared I had heart trouble. I wa
hardly ever without a pain in the pit
of my stomach, also suffered a great
deal with headache and backache, and
was so nervous, I could never get a
good night's sleep, I was dreadfully
run down and weak, and had that
tired, no account feeling all the time,
and nothing seemed to do me the
least bit of good.
"I finally got in such a bad shape
that I was told I would have to give
up my work and, no doubt I would
if I hadn't gotten Tanlac, as I was
hardly able to keep going. I thought
if the statements I read about Tanlac
were true it would help me, and it
has not only helped me, it has made
a. perfectly well man of me. I felt
better after the first bottle, and
have been improving ever since. My
