Among the passengers la the sleeping car
Ilvola when tt left Omaha over the Wabash
at 5:65 last night for 8t. Loula were Mrs.
Mamie Sadler of 119 North Fifteenth
street, her daughter, Wllhelmlna, and De
tective Drummy. The mother was tearful,
the girl was Bobbing and the detective
didn't appear particularly hilarious, for be
tween the women was ' an estrangement
which seemed wholly unnatural and which
made the situation embarrassing for all
three.
Wllhelmlna Is the girl for whose love
Dorre 8. Howard, a messenger boy aged 18,
twice shot himself In the breast Saturday
afternoon a week ago at the Arcade hotel,
to which place the girl had betn Invited by
Walter W. Daly of St. Louis, a friend of
hir mother's and a supposed suitor of the
girl. After the shooting the boy was taken
to the Central honpltal and with him went
Wllhelmlna, who has been a faithful and
vigilant volunteer nurse ever since. Yes
terday afternoon the boy had recovered
sufficiently to return to the rooming place
at 124 North Fifteenth street, conducted by
hit father, and again Wllhelmlna traveled
with him.
On December 23 she was 18 years old and
had broken with her mother, partly on the
boy"t account, and gone to live with an
other girl at Seventeenth and California
After the shooting she announced a deter
mination to live with Dorre's parents at
toon as he returned to them. They were
willing, but her mother was not. The lat
ter vowea mat tne Howards flat was no
fit place because Maloney theater girls
roomed there and she sought a way to pre
vent her daughter's going to the place.
Attorney John O. Velser found. In the
peculiarities of the Texas law, a means to
accomplish Mrs. Sadlcr'a purpose. In Ne
braska a girl becomes of age upon her
eighteenth birthday, but the laws of Texas
section 2471, read: "Male persons under 21
years of age and females under 21 years of
age who have never been married are
minors." Moreover, until a child Is of age
his or her home Is considered In law to be
properly wherever the parents' domicile
may be. Wllhelmlna never has married and
her mother claimed Texas as properly their
domicile.

with these facts as arguments. Attorney
Tetser secured an order for a writ of
habeas corpus last Friday and had a senti
nel posted in Mrs. Sadler's windows to
detect the arrival of the boy and the girl
at the Howard fiat across the street. It
was a long vigil, but finally was rewarde
yeaterday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. As
soon as the girl had time to become settled
In the apartments the Howards had pre
pared for her, Detectives Drummy an
Mitchell called and, without protest from
the senior Howard, took the girl before.
Judge Baxter, who had Issued the writ.
The mother, being called as the first wit
nets, testified that her husband, the girl'
father, had been divorced a dozea years
ago, had not been heard from in ten years
and was supposed to be dead; that mother
and daughter came to Omaha from San
Antonio, Tex., only for the exposition of
18SS; that the mother became Involved In
a business way and had to atay longer;
that the girl was placed In Mount St
Mary's academy (at,Fifteenth and Castellar
streets and did so well in music that the
mother haa remained In Omaha expecting
the daughter to complete her training next
May; that three months ago the girl was
expelled for slipping from the convent at
night and remaining away with Dorrs
Howard until a tardy morning hour; that
notwithstanding this, the mother hoped to
have her reinstated and then go back to
Texas in the spring. Mrs. Sadler denied
ever Intending to make Omaha her perma
nent home.
Wllhelmlna on the atand said she bad
always looked upon Texas aa home, but
that her mother did not understand her
and they could not get along together any
where. The only other witness was De
tective Drummy, who gave It as his opinion
that the Howard flat was not a proper
place for the girl to be.
Judge Baxter waa thus persuaded tha.
ths mother' domicile la properly In Texas,
that the girl la therefore subject to the laws
of Texas and henco a minor, subject to
her mother's control. He accordingly
algned an order giving the parent the cus
tody, and ths sobbing, disappointed and
estranged daughter was railroaded to St.
Louts, where Daly lives and where there Is
a satisfactory convent, before she could
get to see her youthful lover. To a re
porter she declared she would kill herself
If the new conditions are Insisted upon by
her mother.

the matter positive I desir to say that I
had nothing to do with the article, and th
publlcaucn of the news waa a surprise to
me. no one having ny authority from m
to speak on the subject.
I hive never asked for a vote for th
office of president i.t the board, anil if my

While some of the members ef the char
ter revision committee favor a Are police
board, there Is considerable opposition to
the same, and It may be that thla section
will be left out of the amendment being
prepared. It It asserted that there it no
necessity for going to th expense of pay
ing a commission to handle a department
composed of only thirty men. At the pres
ent time the police department ht twenty
one men and the fire department makes the
total thirty.
"If a commission I to be appointed."
said a former member of the legislature to
The Bee last night, "we hope the appoint
ments will not be msde by the governor
of the state. We cannot tee how a gov
ernor totally unacquainted with local con
ditions can appoint a board tatlsfactory
to the majority of the people. We would
tuggett that the mayor, treasurer and
the tax commissioner b made members
of th proposed board. These people are )
on a salary, and, therefore, there would j
be no expense attached to the city for
maintaining tblt separate department."
It Is understood that the labor unions
are strongly opposed to the appointment
of a fire and police board and resolution
are to be adopted, to It Is said, against
the proposition. These resolutions, when
properly prepared, will be presented to
th charter revision committee. In case
th commute pays no attention to the
resolutions soma of the labor leaders aay
that a committee will be tent to the legis
lature to present the petition.

i for more wages. Not many weeks ago the
switchmen, who also are members of tho
trainmen's organization, through Mr. Bogus
tnd his associates on the grievance com
mittee, obtained a 12 per cent Increase In
wagea and revised schedules. These con
cessions were secured from the Union Pa
cific without serious difficulty, and it it be
lieved th demands of the brakemen and
; conductors will be granted with equal read I -j
nets. Just bow much increase the brake
I men and conductors will demand hss not
been given out. It Is presumed that It will
1 Cot vary much from that obtained by tha
. switchmen and other trainmen In various
parts of the country. The percentage of
! increases runs from 10 to 20. Local condi
tions govern th scale largely.
I The committeemen who arrived yeaterday
j morning had little to say of 5 heir plans.
They stated that they anticipated no
trouble and gave the Impression of being
confident of their mission. - II is not sup
posed that the Union Pacific will under
take the task of resisting the demands of
Its trainmen, especially under the circum
stances surrounding tt at present. With
over 1,300 of Its employes arrayed tgalnst
it In a stubborn conflict, it would be sur
prising If the company did Invite any
further hostilities. Besides, It would be
setting a precedent to refuse the demands
of the trainmen, since the railroads all over
ths country have come to time with little
hesitancy, except In a few cases, and given
their trainmen about what they asked.
The movement was o thoroughly organ
ized In the first place, long before It was
actually launched, that the roads prac
tically were In a position where they could
not, without Inviting a aerloua labor war,
turn down their trainmen.
The trainmen doubtless will submit their
case to Superintendent Buckingham, as he
represented the company tn the conferences
with the switchmen. President Burt, of
course, was In consultation before the final
adjustment was effected, but the president,
having his handa full In New York trying
j to parity tha strikers, doubtless will not ba
I here to participate in thes confab, unless
bit associates can manag to stave them
oS long enough.
