THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JULY 28, 1918..
SUIT TO OUST TWO
RAIL BOARD MEN
FROMJJFFICES
Proceedings Brought in Su
preme Court Against Hall
and Taylor on Ground
No Bonds Filed.
From a Staff Correspondent
( Lincoln, July 27. (Special.) Pro
ceedings to oust Chairman T. L. Hall
(and H. G. Taylor, two of the three
members of the state railway com
i mission,, were instituted in the Ne
braska supreme court Saturday morn
ing by G. W. Shields of Omaha.
On the ground that neither of them
..has ever filed an official bond for at
least $30,000. required of all state ex
excutive officers under the Nebraska
'.constitution, the high court is asked
to declare Hall and Taylor disquali
fied and to pronounce their offices va-
cant.
j Shields brings the suit as a taxpay
er. He charges the commission with
, 'extravagant expenditures of state
funds, including over $20,000 for the
'services of various attorneys the
board has employed at various times.
I v Victor ,Wlson Escapes.
I For the reason that he filed such a
!bond when he began his term of of
fice in January, 1917, Victor E. Wil
son, the third member of the com
mission' is not made defendant in the
action. , He it the only man who ever
served on the commission that has
Complied with the provision.
I Shields appeared bef6re the mem
bers of the high bench and requested
permission to file the separate ouster
isuits against the, two members. of the
Jioard'as original cases before that
tribunal. Having been previously
drawn, his pleadings were laid before
the court. Shields was questioned by
Judge Sedgwick atid other members
. as to the theory of law on which the
'action was brought and on judicial
'precedents sustaining it.
; The old case of Berge vs. Lansing,
from Lancaster county, was cited. In
this case it was ruled that the failure
of an elected official to give bond as
required by law within 10 days from
;the time of taking office rendered it
'vacant and that the official could not
thereafter qualify by filing a bond.
." Attorney Shields sets forth in the
petition that he had the approval of
Attorney General Reed ttr start the
ouster suit, Reed declined to bring
Jhe action-for the reason that he
would be charged with acting with
poetical motives.

In the democratic convention the
prepared resolutions had contained no
expression on the amendment or on
women's suffrage, but it was put in

Asks for Division
Lakeside, Neb., July 27. (Special
Telegram.) The county division
question that has been agitated for
years in Sheridan county and which
on several occasions has reached the
petition stage, assumed gigantic pro
portions in a rousing meeting held in
the opera house here tonight. Repre
sentatives were present from HofT
land, Antioch, Ellsworth and Bing
ham. The plan is to divide the coun
ty at the north line of township 28
and a strong effort was made to have
"Potash" or Neville as the new coun
ty name to select from-
The continued indifference shown
the south end by the present com
missioners, especially in the matter of
the proposed "Potash Highway," has
so unified the voters that the senti
ment on the division is now practic
ally unanimous.
Prior to three years ago the towns
represented here tonight could
scarcely muster 100 people. Today
in Antioch, with five big potash
plants and as many small ones, the
city is doing the second largest
freight business in the state. Howf
land, with the biggest single pro
ducer, has well passed 300 popula
tion, and Lakeside has two heavy
capacity plants.
At Ellsworth the Ellsworth Potash
Refining company will soon begin
the erection of its plant.
The Great Western Potash and Re
fining Co. and the John Berian-Potash
Co. have their machinery on the
ground. At Bingham the numerous
lakes are now being developed by
several important companies. This
preliminary meeting will be followed
by one at Antioch Tuesday night,
July 30, where arrangements will be
completed for the ' success of the
movement.
The Antioch Public Service club
also asks that every voter in Sheridan
ounty south or north of township 28
be present.

candidates that the political ingenuity
of democratic leaders is capable of
conjuring up. One of the claims that
will be made by democrats is, that
it is no time to change horses in the
middle of the stream.
x Kill Crippled Horses.
"We republicans are in favor of
that program, however, with this lim
itation. We want to kill off all the
cripples, classified as horses, and put
in their places real horses. We want
to ride the horses throughout the
war which have made it possible for
the president of the United States
to successfully prosecute the war to
date and hereafter, and until it shall
have been emphatically successful, to
the goal of peace with victory.
"Had the president relied upon
rrnssintr the stream on the backs of
democratic horses, he would have
been swallowed up in the whirlpools
of demagogy and embargo acts, and
his cries for help would have been
lost in the din of the chorus, "I(tdid
not raise my boy to be a soldier.
"Gentlemen of the convention, what
is your pleasure?"
Ovation for Jefferis.
A. W. Jefferis was accorded an
ovation when he was called upon to
address the convention.
"The republican party," he said,
"has always been a party of loyalty.
It has always been the party of truth,
the party of Lincoln, Grant, McKinley
and Roosevelt.
"A cloud of war is threatening the
rights, privileges and opportunities
of the people of this country and that
cloud is threatening the peoples of
other countries. We must listen to
the promptings of our own hearts and
do everything in our power to see that
our army and navy is amply provided,
that this great xwar may be brought
to a speedy and triumphant conclu
sion; that human endeavor may go
forward without taxing our man
power, and that we may have life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness
without interference."
Urges Co-operation.
R. B. Howell, national committee
man for Nebraska, called upon for a
few words, stated that this is the
time for all republicans to get to
gether. t
"Overshadowing in importance,
he said, "is the bitter struggle now
going on overseas. It is the duty of
every citizen to support the president
in the conduct of the war, for he is
our commader-in-chief. The time
will come when the citizens will be
called upon to decide who shall be
the commander for four more years.
We should elect men who are capa
ble of performing the great duties
that will confront us, and it can not
be successfully disputed that repub
licans are better equipped to perform
those great tasks. Let us put our
shoulders to the wheel, forget the
past and make Nebraska a republican
state this fall." .
Vote for Winner.
"There is one thing on which-we
all can agree," said N. P. Dodge, re
publican congressional candidate,
"that no matter what the result of
the contest between Mr. Jefferis and
myself, there will be.no excuse for
any republican not voting for the
winner."
Jonathan Edwards was asked to
speak. "Nebraska has at least one
misrepresentative now at Washing
ton, and when I look at that building
at Fifteenth and Farnam streets, I
wonder how it happened that the bill
to prevent the exportation of ammu
nitions and that building were simul
taneous," he said.
Myron L. Learned was chairman
and E. J. Seroy was secretary.

v The only chance the "understudy" has is the chance
the "Star" sees fit to give her.
The world is full of people who are "just as good" as
their betters. Every office, shop and factory has on its
payroll some underling who firmly believes that he is
kept out of the Manager's Chair only by the blindness of
the "Directors" or the "Pull" of the "Boss."
Such fellows are "carbon copies" they absorbed
their knowledge simply because they happened to be
"under" the "original."
They are meant for the pigeon hole valuable only in
case the "original" is lost.
Such characters lack character lack initiative-r-lack
imagination lack action their only qualification is they
can "do something as well as someone else can."
I have no doubt there are many Dentists wla could
manage a Dental Office better than myself scores who
could give a clean cut, artistic, technically correct den
tistry, but these Dentists are ORIGINALS NOT the
"Carbon Copies" who gratuitously advise me as to my
mistakes and how they would manage this office.
Being human, I have perhaps made mistakes, perhaps
will continue to make them BUT I WILL PAY FOR MY
MISTAKES MYSELF and am not asking-sympathy nor
advice from the "understudies."
I have found that the public approves of Painless
Dentistry, Sanitary Dentistry, Guaranteed Dentistry at
honest prices and as I long since learned that the surest
way to serve one's self is to serve the public I shall try
to orry along in my modest way, "delivering the goods"
while others are "making claims."

NIELSEN FACES
FORMAL CHARGES
MADE BY BRIGGS
i
Detective Must Explain to Pa
lice Commissioner Why He
Fell Down in an Auto
Bandit Case.
Chief of Detectives John Briggs
has filed formal complaint with Com
missioner Ringer against Detective
Hans Nielsen. Briggs was then re
quested by Ringer to make a fuller
report the beginnng of the week
regardng the whole case.
Nielson brought Frank Messex and
Genevieve Morris to Omaha trom
Sioux Falls, S. D-, filed grand larceny
charges against them and then Sat
urday morning told Police Judge
Fitzgerald that he had no case against
the couple.
"I cannot understand Nielsen's ac
tion," said Briggs, "in telling the
court we had no case. I was very
busy in my office when the case was
brought up and before I knew it the
two people were out of jail and
away."
nderson Not in Coeurt.
Officer A. C. Anderson, son-in-law
of Nielsen's, who was one of the
complaining witnesses was not in
court when the case was called. He
said later that he was out at lunch
at the time and did not know that
the case was to be called.
Briggs says he has a letter from
C. V. Caldwell, state's attorney at
Sioux Falls saying that Messex's
father made a statement to the effect
that his son admitted stealing the
car and changing the numbers- ,
Nielsen Reports III
Nielsen went home sick following
the preliminary hearing and would
give no statement. Yesterday he ex
plained his actions by saying that
Messex had told him the whole story
while coming to Omaha from Sioux
Falls. He claims that Messex told
him he received the car from a gang
of bootleggers in Sioux City who
had been making regular trips to
Mnneapplis. When Sioux City police
got on their trail they gave him the
car. "I do not doubt they are guilty
of receiving stolen property," said
Nielsen, "but they could not be pros
ecuted in this state."
Immediately following their arrest
Messex and the Morris girl left the
station. They told they were going
to be married but procured no li
cense in Omaha.
Child Finds His Mother.
Eleven-year-old Willie Franklin,
colored, was a disappointed lad when
he arrived in Omaha Saturday after
noon after a 1,500-mile trip from Pen
sacola, Fla., and failed to meet his
mother, Susie Franklin. But a kindly
negro woman who had met Willie on
the train, took charge of him when lie
burst out crying and brought him to
the police station.
Two hours later Mrs. Franklin
rushed beathless into thfe 'station
and teafully asked the police to look
for the boy. Little Willie rushed
into his mother's arms and s family
tragedy was averted.
