COMBINE SOLDIERS' HOMES
Suggestion of Some Members of Special
InTestigatic j Committee,
WOULD ABANDON GAND ISLAND PLACE
fcmnalteaa Bar Ormn Islaad
. .a ..u .iillioa and
Oacbt to Be Consolidated with
Mllford Instltattoa.
The coming legislature will bo called
tpon to pans upon a matter which will be
presented by some of the members of the
committee which was . appointed by the
governor to visit the soldiers' homes of the
late. Some of the members of the com
mittee will eeek to have the home at Grand
Island abandoned. Said! one of them:
"On bur last Visit to the home we found
everything' in as goofl shape as possible
tinder existing circumstances, but we also
found good reasons for favoring the con
solidation of the homes. Attached to the
Grand Island home are 600 acres of land,
which It was believed at the time the home
was established would . make the Institu
tion In a meaaure self-supporting. This
It has failed to do. .The land Is so poor
that It will" raise nothing but tlfalfa and
this has not been developed to a paying
point. The state hasfrom time to time
approprleted money, to be spent In plant
ing trees.'but the trees fall to grow In the
oil, which-Is Impregnated to a greater or
Jess degree with alkali. The ground upon
which the buildings stand has no drainage
and It will be practically Impossible to
maintain' the buildings in the way they
should be kept up If the health and comfort ,
ef the inmates is to be considered. i
"At MWflrd' the state has forty acres of !
land, which Is sufficient for all purposes
of the home. The situation la beautiful and
the drainage perfect. If t"he Mllford home ,
should be increased in size to accommo
date all of the inmates of both homes It
would be posnlble and advisable to take ad
vantage of the river there to secure power
for elrtctric lights and the operation cf
other necessary machinery In connection
with the home.
Needs Immediate Attention.
"Thuf matter should receive attention at
(his time, because If the Grand Island home
la to be maintained It will be necessary to
appropriate comparatively large sum of
money, to repair the. buildings and make
necessary Improvements, while with a com
paratively small sum in addition to this
new buildings could be erected at Mllford
and tbe, jomates of the Grand Island home
transferred to that place.
Via. addition, to giving tbn inmates of the
pome a belter place to live the state would
save a considerable amount of money each
year by the change, the saving being so
large, In my opinion, that It could afford to
give the land and buildings at Grand Isl
and away rather than to maintain them.
Of course the state could realize something
out of the land and buildings at Grand Isl
and and this could be applied on the new
buildings at Mllford.
"The principal Item of saving to be made
by consolidating the homes Is in the matter
of management. At the present time we
have two complete staffs of officers and at
tendants. With consolidation only one
staff would be necessary, and the number
of attendants could be materially reduced.
The amount annually expended on both of
the homes, while much too small, would
make a better showing If It were all spent
upon one. At Grand Island today there
are no carpets or rugs upon tbe floorof the
hospital. Even In the sitting room, where
convalescents spend their time, the floors
are bare and there is an air of desolation
around the place which Is very depressing.
All of this could be changed If the homes
were consolidated at Mllford, where the
surroundings are pleasant."

OMAHA WINSINTHE DEBATE
nia-h School Orators from Beatrice
Come OS Second In the An
anal Contest.
A trio of young men from Beatrice met
in debate and were fairly defeated by the
same number of Omaha students last even
ing at the assembly room of the Board
of Education In the city hall. They were
representative speakers from the Beatrice
and' Omaha High schools and the contest
call ad .out n audience of over 200.
The -t qneatlpn4 under . discussion was:
"Resolved, That labor unions are an In
Jury to the public." The Omaha team,
composed of, Benjamin Cherrington, Rich
ard Hunter and Joseph Swenson, upheld
the affirmative, apd from Beatrice, Charles
Cobbey, Stewart, Oobbs and Ralph Wever
ling spoke for the negative.
According to Judges E. C. Page, H. C.
Brome and cy C. McDonald, the affirmative
won by' 77214-point to the negative's 742.
They stated, however, that had the points
been for, delivery, and stage presence the
decision would have gone differently.

"Alice of Old Vlncennes" Isn't much bet
ter a play than It was a story; and. unfor
tunately. It Isn't much of a story, even as
stories go nowadays. But the swarm of
stories that came up from the pool of pa
triotic tradition has had Its vogue and the
play Is following In the path of the novel
It Is having Its vogue, and these vogues In
literature are very much like whooolng
cough among the children they roust have
their run. It does seem a pity that a young
woman of tbe undoubted capabilities of Miss
Coghlan should be compelled to waste her
efforts In prating fustian about politics and
patriotism. One thing In favor of the ores
ent offender Is that the platitudinous
speeqhes are brief, and for this brevity
much thanks. One act of the play, the
second, bubbles with delightful humor, girl
ish fun and quiet sarcasm, so that from
end to end It is full of laughter. It closes
with a melodramatic climax, though, and
this very nearly spoils the effect of the
clever work that precedes it. The open
ing act Is a synopsis of the book, leading
up to the central events of the storv. and
the closing acts are little more than bun
combe. Situation Is piled on situation with
out regard for logical sequence, merely to
make the play move, and it would be
wonder if It didn't go, for the procession
of climaxes comes so fast that the action
of the piece fairly scurries to get them
all off.
Miss Coghlan Is seen to a much better
advantage as Alice than as Beckv Sharp
and this Is not Intended to disparage her
excellent presentation of the Thackerav
heroine (for, after all, Becky is the real
heroine of "Vanity Fair"). She Is much
better suited by nature "to portray the
character of a young girl, full of life, cour
age and high resolve, and yet a girl, with
all a girl's notions of romance and tbe
like. Alice betrays just a trifle too much
sophistication for one whose life has been
spent in Old Vlncennes, but this may be
pardoned, as It is essential to the duel of
wits between her and Colonel Hamilton
Miss Coghlan's sweet, clear voice, mobile
face and evident appreciation of a funny
situation, mark her as one who will be
heard from in comedy at a future date
when "the romarAlc" shall have given way
to a more legitimate method of entertain
ing people at the theater. Her mock trag
edy in the second act, when she shows the
pie. Is one of the best bits of comedy that
has been seen here In a long time.
The supporting company is quite capable.
Miss Douglas and Miss Foster are both
very good as the girl companions of Alice.
The Madame Rouslllon of Miss Williams la
an excellent bit of character portraval and
Mr Frazler's Colonel Hamilton Is well acted
The applause won was well merited. A

close the engagement.
SHOPLIFTING NOT PREVALENT
This Species of Holiday Mischief, Po
lice Say, la Not Com
en.
"Holiday shoplifting is at present not
giving the Omaha police department very
much trouble," said the desk sergeant at
police headquarters yesterday afternoon
"for the simple reason that the offenders
are quickly detected In their work with
the goods In their possession and are es
corted to tbe offices In the stores in which
the lifting occurs, where they are eager to
disgorge the plunder that they may avoid
arrest and secure their liberty instead of
a cell at the station. We do not have nine
out of ten of the cases which occur reoorted
to us and shoplifting is practically an un
known quantity. The police are not relaxing
their efforts in the apprehension of such
offenders, however."

COURT TO CONTROL EMPLOYE'S INCOME
i
rronosed BUI Provides That Delia
qaent Shall Receive Only Eaowajb.
f Ills Wages te Pay Neces
sary Family Expenses.
As the result of the conference held
Thursday evening between the representa
tives of tbe Retail Grocers' association and
the labor organizations It Is probable that
a bill will be Introduced In the legislature
at the next session providing for the crea
tion of a debtor's court, which will have
Jurisdiction in certain cases where persons
are indebted to others for the purchase of
necessities of life, such as clothlcg, food,
fuel and house rent.
Briefly outlined, the proposed bill will
provide that the county Judge or some Jus
tice of the peace will be the Judge of the
debtors' court. When a creditor cannot
collect a bill for necessities of life he will
file1 a complaint against the debtor, who
will be notified that the account has been
placed in the hands of tbe court, and a day
will be set for hearing he cause. After
trial, Judgment will be rendered In ordi
nary form If the plaintiff establishes his
claim and the Judge will make Inquiry Into
tbe Income of the Judgment debtor, the size
of bis family, the total amount of his
monthly expenses, making allowances for
only those expenses which are absolutely
necessary. After these points have been
determined the court will decide upon how
much of his total income shall be set aside
for the payment of the debt upon which
Judgment has been entered. This amount
shall be paid weekly or monthly, aa tbe
court may determine, and no other costs
shall attach to the collection of the bill
other than that of serving the first papers
In the case.
Conrt to Investigate.
Provision, will be made for the debtor to
come before the court at any time and
show cause why the partial payment shall
not be made at any stated time, the recog
nized causes being sickness. in the family.
loss of work or decrease in salary. In case
the defendant fails to make payment aa or
dered or falls to make satisfactory showing
as to his Inability to pay, tbe Judgment be
comes a Hen upon his wages and the wages
may be garnlsheed in the hands of any i m
ployer. In case suits are flled by a num
ber of persons against one defendant and all
are proven, the money in excess of the
amount required to maintain the debtor's
family will be paid Into the court and by
him apportioned among the Judgment cred
itors according to the amounts of their
claims.
Under the common law failure of the
Judgment debtor to pay according to the
order of court would subject him to pun
ishment for contempt of court, but a provi
sion will be Incorporated In the bill abolish
lng this form of contempt In these cases
and the only punishment to be Inflicted will
be the garnishment of the wagea of the
debtor.
It develops that opposition to Increasing
the scope of the garnishment laws comes
not only from representatives of labor or
ganizations, but also from representatives
of corporations which employ large numbers
of worklngmen. The representatives of
these corporations claim that with In
creased opportunities for garnishment of
the wages of their employes will come ad
ditional trouble to employers, calling them
Into court from time to time In cases In
which they have no Interest and desire
none.

Dandruff la Caased by Germ that
Saps the Halr'a Vitality.
It Is now a settled fact that dandruff la
caused by a germ. Falling hair and bald
ness are the result of dandruff. Dr. E. J.
Beardsley, of Champaign, 111., got hold of
the new hair preparation,' Newbro's Herpl
clde the only one that kills the dandruff
germ. He says: "I used Herplclde for my
dandruff and falling hair, and I am well
satisfied with the result." Dr. J. T. Fugate
of Urbana, 111., aays: "I have used Herpl
clde for dandruff with excellent results. I
shall prescribe It in my practice." Herpl
clde kills the dandruff germ. Physicians as
well aa the general public say so.
IN HONOR OF THE FACULTY

Last night the Central Labor union for
the first time took active steps other than
financial In support of the Colon Pacific
strikers. A communication was received
from the blacksmith's union stating that
the I'nioa Pacific company was apparently
making arrangements to abandon its board
ing houee at the shops and distribute Its
employes in boarding houses In other parts
of the city. It asked that each hotel and
boarding house which supplied entertain
ment for these strike breakers be declared
unfair. A delegate from the waiters' union
said that members of that order would
refuse to deliver food to the strike breakers
where known; the meat cutters said that
they would refuse to cut meat for the
houses and the team drivers said that
they would refuse to haul coal or any other
supplies as soon as furnished with a list
of the houses where strike breakers are
boarding. The request of the blackBmttha
was then granted, with the understanding
that the list of the houses be given to the
affiliated unions as soon as possible.
W. H. Bell Introduced a resolution de
claring that It be the sense of the union
that no exclusive franchise be grarted by
the city council to any person or corpora
tion proposing to construct power plants
in the city to use water power, but that
such franchise be left open to all persons.
In support of his resolution he said that
one Is now pending before the city council
and unless the resolution be adopted the
council would take It for granted that tbe
union favored the pending ordinance. The
resolution was laid on the table.
Oppose Chance in Law.
The law committee reported the reault
of the couference with tho legislative com
mittee of the Retail Grocers' association
and asked that it be empowered to con
tinue negotiations looking to a union of
forces at the coming session of the legisla
ture. The committee was Instructed to
notify the grocers' association that the
central body would favor no change of any
kind In the existing exemption laws. The
committee also reported that It had con
ferred with the deputy labor commissioner
In the matter of violations of the female
labor law on the part of certain laundries.
Labor Commissioner Watson, who was
present, advised tbe union that It should
be willing to accept some compromise with
the retail merchants, as H would have
trouble In maintaining the existing female
labor law, and should have the co-opera
tion of tbe friends of the merchants In the
legislature.
The arbitration commute reported a set
tlement of the trouble at the National
Printing company and at two barber shops.
It reported a compromise in the trouble
between the stationary engineers and the
Kopp-Woodard company, which was cot
satisfactory to the engineers, who had sub
sequently declared a boycott. The boycott
of the engineers was not sustained and the
matter was again referred to the commit
tee. The federated strike board reported the
total amount of $9,554.75 collected from
various sources In Omaha for the support
of striking men at the Union Pacific shops,
and an urgent demand was made for funds
for the present time, which Is critical, aa It
is an odd week when certain usual supplies
do not arrive.
Organizing- New I'nlons.
Members of the organization committee
made extensive reports, showing that at the
present time steps are on foot to organise
unions of garment workers, laundry work
ers, clerks, box makers, newsboys and the
custom shoe workers. The managers of
four of the leading laundries of the city
have agreed with tbe organizers and will
do what they can to make the union a suc
cess. The secretary was instructed to lay be
fore tbe secretary oZ the American Fed
eration of Labor the facts In regard to the
alleged organization of Federal Labor union
No. 8091.
Communications were received from the
Brewery Workers and the Stable Men en
dorsing the editorial policy of the Workers
Gazette, while the Typographical union
went on record as opposing any political
action on the part of the Central Labor
union.
