GIRLS NEGLECTED BY PARENTS
Three Between Koarteea and Slsteea
Have to Haatle for Plaeo
to Meea.
... . r. -
Judg lJy had called td hi attention
Monday afternoon a deplorable rase of
apparent nvglect of thair growing diughtej-
by parents. Three girls, ranging In age
from 14 to 1. were brought In by probation
Omcer, Bernstein and Mrs. Tow!, his as
sistant. They ant charged with Incorrigi
bility, the specific offense being that thay
spent on whole night recently at a cheap
hotel, all three sleeping in one room. They
said a man gave tnem the money for their
beds at 11 o'clock at night.
One of th girl ald her father recently
had attempted to attack her with a rasor,
and that he la nearly always drunk. In
the other two oases the girl !d they did
not think tl.elr parent would take enough
Interest la theui to give bond for their as-
pears nee next Saturday, o th Judge or
dered them taken to th detention horn
until that time. In the meantime the
probation officer will make a more thor
uugh Investigation of the surrounding In
which the girl live and will har th par
ents In court to give an explanation Satur
day morning.
One of th girls wss taken out of school,
a second was tnk-n from behind a counter
in a store and the third said he could not
go to chool because she had to remain at
home to care for two smaller children.
FIELD CLUB POLITICS MIXED
Bea T. .White Refase to Be a
date, bat anarter Uologr to -Raw
Him Aoy way.
In Field club affairs the plot is tlilrken-
Ing. Ben T. White, the unwilling candidate
for president, has returned home and em
phatically declares that when he wired hla
refusal he meant what he said. J. B.
Blanchard, the other regularly nominated
candidate, states that ha Is Indifferent to
the result and the, club o.em.. unable, to
find member who will accept that office
without protest. The friends of the men.
however, are not llstlessir engaged in the
Campaign and Wednesday', vote promise
to be close. Mr. White, by persevering In
his modesty, may leave his opponent en
tirely alone In the field. The only alterna
tive left the antl-Blanchard men, the radi
cals they might be called, would be to
elect Mr. White against his will, since hla
name cannot now be officially withdrawn,
and on hla resigning leave Mr. E. V. Lewis,
the prospective vice president. In the execu
tive chair.
Some of Mr. White", supporters are In
clined to consider the actions of the other
party ns a little more than shrewd. ' The
telegram which was sent that gentleman
while In California reached Mm so late that
hla reply could not officially scratch his
name .from the ballot. Thla, It Is said, wa
Intended to embarrass the radicals with a
reluctant leader. That purpose ha suc
ceeded, but their opponents are determined
that last year' vice president shall not
advance to take the place ot Mr. Foster
thl year. The desire for an Interesting
election seem to be the principal reason
for desiring to defeat that gentleman. The
ciders of the club are trying their best to
smooth the tempers that are being ruffled
here and there, and deplore the tempest
which darkens the horlgon. All are confident
that after the election the cloud will scat
ter and under whoever may be chosen ns
leader the sun of prosperity will shine
again for a season as it did during the
past year.
APPEAL F0RPJJRE POLITICS
E. RoVewater Delivers Address at
Meeting ot McKJaley Repub
lican tlnh.
The McKinley club held Its regular
monthly meeting last night at O'Brien'
cafe. Chairman Dodge was absent md
iBldor Zlcgler presided.
After a short business meeting K. Rose
water made an address on early Nebraska
politics. He began with a bundle of In
formation concerning tho malfeasance In
offloe of Governor Butler and showed
what a high standard ot morality the re
publican party In those days demanded.
Hs made this the basis of an appeal
to. the club to hold up the high standard
of the party, and pointed to the eample
sot by "the man at Washington." The .ad
dress was interpolated with reminiscences
whlcli served . to send home the moral
truths underlying government by the peo
ple. "The people are sovereign, said Mr.
Rosewater, ,"nnd the power must eventually
delegate Itself back to theml' Ttutfrlnust
eventually prevail and the present Instance
proves no exception to the rule.'" .
Mr. Rosewater outlined a scheme for in
surance regulation, highly original. He
said the day I coming when Insurance must
be. divested of Its glittering dividend fea
tures used simply as a bait to seduce the
unsuspecting public.
Mr. Rosewater ended with an appeal to
the young men of the cliA to uphold
the president, and tho trend of modern
opinion for purity In politics and strong
men for office, '
