Judge Munger was asked If a United
States marshal would be appointed ad
Interim. He aald:
"I cannot say for a certainty until the
matter Is looked Into. A law did exist that
In the event of the disability or disqualifica
tion of marshal the circuit judges could
appoint an officer temporarily, and I under
stand that law since has been amended.
Whereby the district Judge may make the
temporary appointment. However,' I have
not had time to look Into the matter as
yet. Should I be permitted to make the
ad interim appointment, of which I am not
yet certain, I have not considered the mat
ter sufficiently to know to whom the ap
pointment may be tendered. However, I

cases aa are set for trial, and consequently
there need be no unusual delay in the court

VIGOROIS PROTEST TO MOODY
Entire Nebraska Delegation Demands
that Matbews lie Heard.
WASHINGTON. Dec. .-(8pecial Tele
gram.) The Nebraska delegation and that
means every member of the delegation had
a conference today with Attorney General
Moody In relation to the order of the presi
dent dismissing T. U Mathews. I'nlted
States marshal for Nebraska, from the
service. It seems fair to ay that not In
years has there been such a compact
agreement that hasty action was takeuyKS
tn the case of Mr. Matnes. Eor two hours
the conference lautod and during that time
It is understood every member of the dele
gation voiced the sentiment, as they had
received it In numberless telegrams, "that
the punishment of dismissal was not de
served." as one inemlx-r expressed it.
The attorney general replk-d that the
dismissal followed a great offense and not
a misunderstanding oi tne law, as ne un
derstood It. As a unit the delegation asked
that Mr. Mathews be given a bearing. The
attorney general, however, was nun-com
mittal, lie held generally to the proposi
tion that the president took the action
after due consideration and therefore that
a hearing as to the merits of the case
rtsted solely with the president. Mr. Moody
was courteous, but diplomat!". He refused
to say whether or not Mr. Mathews would
be granted a hearing should he come to
Washington to present his case in person.
The attorney general said the removal of
Mr. Mathews was an executive action, and
that the president only could decide the
rights or wrongs of the question.
One of the members of the delegation
suggested that it was most unusual that
an officer should be removed without the
senators or members being advised aa to
the contemplated action. Attorney General
Moody, however, emphatically stated that
there was no ne-d of advice when iersons
In the service were found derelict In duty.
"The custom has been." he said, "to advise
the congressional delegations ot slates as
to vacancies in office, but it was never the
custom of
advise the delegation when one of their
appointees was found Incompetent to per
form the duties of bis office."
The Nebraska delegation has today re
ceived hundreds of telegiams from all sec
tions of the commonwealth In protest of
the summary, removal of the marshal.
Just bow far the delegation will go In pro
tstlng against the dismissal of Mr.
Mathews without a hearing, La view of the
order of the president. Is problematical,
but the fact remains that thero Is a
eep-eated feeling that a reprimand would
hare served the purpose in carrying out
the sentence of Judge Munger that "liart
lett Richards and W. G. Comstock should
be committed to the custody of the United
States marshal for a period nf six hours

NEW BATTLESHIP LAUNCHED
Why Clothes Wilt
You know that the Tailor's
Goose, that is, the Hot flat-iron,
plays an important part in the
Tailor's Craft.
You have bought and paid for
more than one suit that looked
spick and span as long as the Sun
smiled.
Then it rained, and your suit lost
its fresh, nice appearance. Mys
terious humps appeared. Wrinkles
Came. Fabric seemed to wilt. You
sent it to the tailor's to be "pressed
out." Good old Dr. Goose. He
was responsible for the trouble in
the first place; but he will always
fix things up for a Consideration.
Why? Because the defects that
occur in making clothes are hidden
temporarily by shrinking or stretch
ittg by cunning old Dr. Goose. He
hides these faults even from the
eyes of the retailer; until he has
SOLD you, and you have been sepa
rated from your good money.
If you complain, you will be told
that that can be ' pressed out."
Yes I old Dr. Goose will keep on
doping your clothes as long as
you're willing to pay for it. Dr.
Goose is Family Physician for
eighty per cent of all clothes but
you can break away from it all,
and get your Insurance Policy in
the label of Sincerity Clothes.
The great initial Difference is
in the manner of Making. Our
Sincere Tailoring means that Oor
clothes-errors, made by our tailors
are corrected by Hand-Needle- Work
of the old fashioned kind. We don't
believe in resorting to Flat-iron
Deceit. Of course the Flat-iron
way is cheaper, but our Hand
Revision results in garments that
retain their shape and style until
worn threadbare. And they need
very little pressing, if any at all,
during their life.
Now, that you know the differ
ence, Mr. Clothes-Buyer ; see that
you profit by it. If you value Shape
Insurance as well as Style, see that
your next clothes-purchase carries
the Sincerity label. If you can't
find it, we'll tell you where you
can find a Sincerity dealer. This
is the label:
