Michigan then threw In 20 to Ral

Mississippi stuck with the 20 it had

his during last night. This fever
subsided somewhat today, but his
doctors constantly counseled against
optimism.
“A little more than a chance.” was
the most hopeful pronouncement at
any time during the day.
I<ast Point of Gravity.
It was definitely developed that the
disease had not entirely centralized In
the leg which was oeratcd on Satur
day and that the poison was running
'again full force through the body.
The heart was loked to for help in
pumping the injections which the
doctors were forced to make. They
feared that even should centralization
again Ije accomplished, the boy would
be unable to stand another operation.
‘‘Tha last point of gravity has been
reachefl,” was the way In which his
Condltleh was described. The atmos
phere i»f depression deepened about
the Wljite House during the day, with
office employes and others about the
grounds keeping an anxious ear open
for tha latest developments from the
hospital.
When the president and Mrs. Cool
idge returned for breakfast and lunch
they riijnained only a short time and,
unlike yesterday when Mr. Coolidge
walked about the grounds and through
the offices to relax himself, he did
not appear outside the house today
on his brief visits. Attendants said,
however, that both the president and
hla wife, were bearing up very well.
Those at the hospital declared Mrs.
Coolidgo always was ready with a
smile when in the sick room. The
president was more careworn and
constanly sought the latest reports
from the phsicians,
John, the other son, a year and a
half the senior of his brother, spent
much of the day at the hospital as
did Frank W. Stearns, of Boston,
personal friend of the family. Mes
sages of sympathy continued to pour
in during the day. Among these was
convention at New York which Mr.
Coolidge acknowledged with a tele
gram of appreciation.

File Motion to
Quash Indictments
Court Action Unlawful Be
cause Justice Department
Officials Present at Hear
ing, Defendants Allege.
Washington, July 7.—E. L. Do
heny and E. L. Doheny, Jr., today
attacked the Indictments returned
against them In the District of Co
lumbia supreme court as a result of
the senate oil disclosures.
Through their attorney, Frank J.
Hogan of Washington, a motion to
quash the Indictments was filed on
the grounds that they were unlawful
because Department of Justice repre
sentatives were present In the grand
jury room.
The motion will not he argued until
the court reconvenes In October for
the fall term.
Hogan contended that the agents'
presence was "contrary to law and
subversive of the rights of his clients"
because it was the Intent of congress
to take the prosecution of the cases
out of the hands of the Department
of Justice and to that end President
Coolldge appointed Atlee Pomerene
and Owen J. Roberts as special coun
sel.
The law provides, Hogan contended,
that no person not connected with a
ease may appear before the grand
jury and representatives of the De
partment of Justice had no more
right In the grand Jury room than
any other outsiders.
NEW REPRIEVE OR
CHAIR FOR SLAYER
Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee.
Lincoln, July 7.—It behooves either
Governor Charles W. Bryan, in New
York attending the democratic con
vention, or Lieutenant Governor Fred
A. Johnson to extend the reprieve of
Walter Ray Simmons, under death
sentence for murder of Frank Pahl,
Spencer garage man, or Simmons will
bo electrocuted Tuesday.
"There will be nothing else to do
unless someone with authority issues
a new reprieve," Warden Fenton said
The present reprieve was until the
next meeting of the state board of
pardons and paroles, which is sched
uled for Tuesday. As Attorney Gen
eral Spillman, one of the three mem
hi rs of the board, is In Washington,
and Governor Bryan apparently is
jealous of his authority and doesn't
want the lieutenant governor to per
form any official duties, it is proble
matical whether there will be a board
meeting.

of the fire department, was evidence
of the esteem with which he Is held
by members of the department and
other friends.

formalities were held Monday morn
ing at 10:30. The chief and Mrs.
Salter occupied seats at the auto

Fire Chief M. J. Dlneen and City
Commissioner D. B. Butler expressed
sentiments of tho occasion.
Stairways and other vantage points
were crowded by members of the fire
department, city employes and others.
Among the many who congratulated
Chief Salter was William Everltt, 101,
who asserted that he fought fires in
Omaha as a volunteer before
"Charley” Salter "ran with the im
machine."
"This Is a tribute any man may
be proud of,” said Mayor Dahlman.

man, as chief of the department.
The city loses the services of an
efficient and loyal servant."

The relative Increase of Omaha's
population with reference to males
nn<l females shows a steady In
crease of the latter. This is re
flected In the school census, which
has just been completed for this

corresponding figures for this year
show that the feminine popula

school age population. This In
crease In the female population has
been steady during the last four
years,
August Bpeeht, registrar of the
health department, believes It may
be "on account of the war.”

24,861 were males ami 25,370 fe
males. These persons of school age
were registered from 23,739 homes.
The enumerators reported 26,812
homes without children of school
age. Vacant homes were listed as

Members of the health depart
ment state that the changing pro
portions of males and females may
be applied to the total population.
Before the world war, 106 males
were born in this country for every

Peter Rabbit Goes Looking for Fun.
Peter Rabbit had been out nil
night. Yes, sir, he had been over In
the Green Forest all night. Sow day
light had come and he was still In
the’Green Forest. It would be foolish
to start across the Green Meadows
for the dear Old Briar Patch In broad
daylight, so Peter decided to remain
In the Green Forest. J.lttle, Mrs.
Peter wouldn't like it. Probably she
would worry. Peter was sorry for
that, hut he didn't see any way to
help It. Truth to tell, Peter was
quite willing to stay In the Green
Forest.
He went straight to a certain
bramble tangle and In the middle of
this he settled himself In comfort.
He felt quite as safe there as he
would have felt in the dear Old
Brier Patch. He was sleepy, for, as
I said before, he had been out all
night. It was very quiet and peace
ful there and he ' was soon fast
asleep. When lat»r In the day he
awoke he still felt hazy and was
quite satisfied to remain where he
was. But along about the middle of
the afternoon he felt like stretching
his legs and decided to see If there
was anything going on In the Green
Forest.
He crept out of the bramble tangle,
hopped over to the Lope Little Path
and started down this. He wasn't
bound for any particular place. He

hadn't anything In particular to do,
so he hopped along almlesslv, hoping
to meet some one whom he knew and
to gossip with.
Presently he came in sight of an
oid log Just at one side of the Lone
Little Path. There was an opening
in the trees right there, and it was
a warm, sunny spot. As he drew
near this old log a Merry Little
Breeze danced along ahead of him
and stirred something white Just at
the end of the old log. It caught
Peter’s eves. He stopped and sat
up. that he might see better. Then
he hopped a few steps nearer and
did the same thing. Now he could
see what it was. It was a little tuft
of white hair.
Peter looked at it very hard. Then
ho began to cHtickle. “That Is the
tip of Jimmy Skunk's tail," said he
to himself. "Yes, sir, that Is Just
what It Is. Jimmy must be taking
a nap and a sun bath behind that

Mischief began to dance In Peter’s

this Is too good a chance to miss.
It would t>e great fun to jump over

any danger In It, either, for before

The more he thought about It the

good Joke. It would be somethin?

had actually frightened Jimmy

and very quietly hopped a few steps
nearer. Three times he made ready

Safety First
How can we put an end to street acci
dents? That’s easy. Let every indi
vidual follow the rules of common sense.
Don't turn your car in the middle of the
block. Watch the fellow ahead of you. Look for
his signals. Don’t drive your car with one arm
around your girl. Keep your eyes eternally on the
road ahead of you. Don’t run on the wrong side
of a street car. Don’t try to crowd some other car
aside. Take your time. Don't be a-fool.
'
Give your brains a chance to work
and they’ll save you a lot of agony.
