Dineen at central police station Tues day morning, bne hundred twenty r ises, ranging from vagrancy to auto theft charges, awaited hizzoner. The heavy docket was due to the prank of a practical Joker who dts hantled police court Monday before the Judge's arrival, assuring attend ants that l here would lie no court in observance of Columbus day. A hundred ninety cases were on the docket on Monday during Commis sioner Dan It. Butler's jurisdiction over the police department. The com missioner had supervised a score of raids in Omaha and South Omaha over the week end.

One of the men pulled a gun and shot at Mese ear, the bullet scratching his thigh. Metcalfe and the two strangers fled, but the girls and Meseear were ar rested. La Follette Aide ^ Fired, War Rages Mutz. Ousted, Refuses to Quit; Nebraska Chances Get Body Blow. La Follette followers in Omaha were thunderstruck Tuesday by the action of Fraffk A. Harrison, chief of the La Follette forces in Nebraska and adjoining states. In dismissing Otto Mutz, chairman of the La Fol lette state committee. They were rurther perturbed be cause Harrison in his notice of dis missal to Muti declared lie was act ing upon direct orders from the La Follette national committee. Mutz was chosen state chairman at the convention of La Follette follow ers at Grand Island, and he refuses in be "fired.” He maintains that he owes his selection to a higher author ity than even La Follette himself— namely, the rank and file of the La Follette party meml-ofs in convention assejnbled under the laws of the state of Nebraska. Just what steps Mutz will take to regain his power he has not yet decided, but from Lincoln comes word that he will not permit Harrison to depose him. “Harrison is merely a hired man," said Mutz. "I was chosen by a con vention of party members regularly called under the law, and I will not permit the authority of the conven tion to lie flouted by any hired man, no matter how close he may lie to I at Follette." Fight Is Second Body Blow. Those Iai Follette followers In Omaha who could be reached refused to be questioned for fear that any extension of the row might still fur ther weaken the Li Follette chances in Nebraska. The llurrlson-Mutz fight coming on the heels of the apologies that have been made by La Follette supporters In Omaha for the chief La Follette plank, the proposal to emasculate the constitution, has taken much of the enthusiasm out of the La Follette movement in tliis city und state. The first blow dealt the La Fol lette scheme hy Charles O. Dawes in his Omaha address, in which he ex posed the La Follette-sociallst deal, has been followed hy a Kilkenny cat light within the ranks of the party it self. Harrison, in his notice of dismissal, charges Mutz with riding hobbies of his own, with seeking to advance the candidacies of men who had not been endorsed by the La Follette forces, and with generally neglecting the La Follette cause in Nebraska. Mutz Is Without Offices. Harrison has assumed charge of the state headquarters adirects that all money for campaign purposes be sent to him. He has the advantage of the fight with Mutz for the reason that the headquarters rooms in X,in coin were rented and paid for by him. Thus Mutz, no matter how authorita tive may be his credentials as state chairman, is out in the cold. It may he that he will secure new quartys ; mmnsanBanaai and again set ifp state headquarter? of his own. Whatever else may he s ild about it it Is a nice tight. The La Kollette followers in Omaha are mournfully recalling the truth of the old adage. "Between two stools you fall to the ground." The La Follette movement in Nebraska seems destined to fall to the ground. BRIDGE HEARING BEGUN IN COURT Hearing of the suit of Harry Cowles and John Copenhaver against the commissioners of Saunders and Doug las county to enjoin building of a bridge over the Platte river at Center street began Tuesday before District Judge Goss, i The plaintiffs allege that the cost of building the bridge in that location will be much greater than the cost of building it at Q street.
