The Board of Public Welfare held

council, were reconsidered. Robert

place. The formal appointment of

proved. Raises in the salaries of Bess Wil
son and Mrs. Ruth Wallace, voted
by the board to take place July 1, but
not approved by the mayor, were
deferred. An application from Mrs.
Kate Copeland for work with the
board was placed on file.
The case'of the Turkington family,
whose domestic difficulties have been
aired before the Welfare Board and
the insanity commission frequently,
came up for discussion. Mrs. Turk
ington is now confined in the state
asylum at Lincoln. A letter from
the superintendent to John C. Barrett,
the board's attorney, stated that Mrs.
Turkington is now well enough to
come home if given constant care and
attention. Mr. Barrett was ordered
to take the case up with the county
authorities.
Dr. Jennie Calfas, member of the
board, stated that she was also a
member of the committee of 500 and
that she knows Mr. Turkington had
been requested by that committee to
withdraw his name as a candidate
for legislative nomination, which he
has done.

INCREASE IN ICE
RATES CHECKED
BYU.S.FOODMEN
Peddlers' Attempt to Raise Ice
Rates 10 Cents Stopped by
Federal Food Adminis
trator Allen.
Efforts of ice peddlers, who buy
principally from the People's Ice and
Cold Storage company and the Storz
company, to raise the price of ice to
consumers from 50 to 60 cents per
100 pounds, have been checked by
the federal food administration for
Nebraska.
Complaints coming to Oscar Allen,
Douglas county food administrator,
yesterday on investigation disclosed
that raises in prices came from the
peddlers. Representatives of the
companies, selling to these peddlers,
were notihed ot the action of ped
dlers buying from them and requested
to notify them that they must re
turn to the MJ per cent price.
Late yesterday afternoon the com
panies stated that they had served no
tice on these peddlers that they must
meet the old price and that the ped
aiers naa siatea mey wouia. some
objected, but. rather than run the
risks of having their ice supplies cut
ott, they agreed to the old price.
Companies Intend No Change.
Some time ago representatives of
the big ice distributing companies of
Omaha agreed to maintain a price of
50 cents per 100 pounds to consumers
and that the prices would not be
raised until new schedules had been
filed with the food administration and
approved. The companies declare
they have not raised the prices to
consumers and have no intention of
doing so.
"We are interested in the price of
ice to consumers," says Allen, "and
will not permit a raise in price unless
we are shown conclusively that such
raise is warranted. Any peddler who
takes it upon himself to raise the
price arbitrarily will have his ice sup
ply cut off.
To Enforce Ruling.
"We want any case reported to U3
where a distributor charges more
than 50 cents per 100 pounds to the
consumer."
Prices have been raised to some of
the independent dealers by the man
ufacturers, the raise aggregating 5
cents per 100 pounds. This raise will
not be reflected in the price to the
consumer, announces the food ad
ministration. ,

President and Mrs. Wilson came here
today .or a few days' rest in the se
clusion of a colonial mansion on the
picturesque Nortlishore. Visits were
interchanged with Col. E. M. House,
the president's intimate friend, but
most of the time was spent in the

lightful weather of the present sum
mer.
The president and Mrs. Wilson
were accompanied by Dr. Carey T.

In addition to an increased force of
