hat They Are Impossible
of FillUmeDl,
Officials In ths accounting and statistical
departments of the Woodmen of the World
are having- considerable difficulty in en
forcing a recent order of Sovereign Clerk
John T. Yates that women clerks be re
placed by men. The order, If carried out,
would affect over forty young women, but
the heads of the departments affected de
clare It will be practically Impossible to
make the change because competent men
cannot be secured at reasonable salaries
te do the work.
For several years the sovereign camps
have recommended that the work of the
head offices be done exclusively by mem
bers of the order. One reason for this la
the belief that the order should favor its
own members when it has work to be
done. Another argument advanced for ths
change is that the details of the business
of the order should be known only to
members , of the fraternity. As women
cannot Join the organisation It was recom
mended that the young won, en be replaced
as' rapidly u ponelble by men who aro
members.
. More 'Women Employed.
In accordance with the recommendation
Mr. Yatea Issued the order and It was
hoped the change could be made by Jan
uary 1. But lne eid o' helm Me to make
much headway It has been necessary to
employ more women than ever In certain

found to do the work at reasonable wuges.
"I "don't believe the order can ever be
fully carried out." said Thomas W. Burch
more, chief clerk, Friday, "for the simple
reason we can't get competent men to
work. tor wages we can -afford to pay. A
bright young - man with some education
will begin to think of - getting married
about the time he la XI or 23 and will de
mand at least 118 a week and I don't blame
him for It. We can get young women
who can do the work Just as well who will
work for from tl4 to 416 a week. The rea
son Is they have no one depending on
them for support and do not expect to
have. The majority of them have ovly
themselves to provide for and they are
willing to work fjr low wages until they
get married and quit. The clafs pf men
who will work for these wages sre usually
Incompetent. I have serious doubts if we
will ever be able to carry out the order
fully."

WOLFE ASKS TRANSPORTATION
City Boiler Inspector Wants Harse
anal Baccy or Street
Car Fare.
City Boiler Inspector Wolfe thinks the
city should either provide him with a rig
or pay his street car fare when on official
business, particularly In view of the fact
that the plumbing Inspector and inspector
of weights and measures are allowed 115
cash per month horse hire. Since his ap
pointment Mr. Wolfe . has been lugging
around a kit of tools weighing nearly 100
pounds and paying his own car fore. Fri
day morning while watching the rain from
his office window In the city hall Mr. Wolfe
arrived at the conclusion that the dignity
of his office was such that It would not be
out of the way to ask for ccr fare or a
horse and buggy.
The boiler Inspector will bring the mat
ter before the city council Tuesday even
ing. Mr. Wolfe receives $100 per month
and is not given an allowance for trans
portation. JUVENILE THE CHIEF COURT
i
Most Important of Whole Jadtclary,
Says Superintendent Hay

Superintendent B. D. Hay ward of the
Kearney Industrial school, Mrs. Hayward
and their daughter, were In the city Thurs
day and attended the session of juvenile
court before Judge Sutton. Mrs. Hayward
Is returning from a trip through the east
and her husband met her here and while
IH the city , took occasion to watch ths
workings of the judicial machinery that
grinds out so many subjects for bis In
stitution. ' .
"I consider the juvenile court the most
Important of the whole system," said Mt.
Hayward, "It is not aa much of a
problem to decide what to do with a person
after he has committed crime aa it is to
know how to keep him from going Into
crime. I spent some time In the court at
Chicago about two weeks ago and watched
proceedings with much Interest.

SHAFFER AND ROCK ISLAND
New Firm from Chicago DenUi Partnership
with Eojootted Jtosd. .
LITTLE HISTORY RECALLED ON THE SIDE
Manager Stream at Oca Motnoa Pro
claimed. Certain Doctrines
Inimical to Interests
of Omaha.
C D. Sturtevant, local representative of
J. C. Bhaffer & Co., a Chicago grain firm
which has opened an office here, takes
exceptions to the repeated statements that
his company has located in Omaha for the
purpose of getting business for the Rock
Island road, which Is now under boyoott
by the local shipping Interests. Mr. Sturte
vant objects particularly to the assertion
that Shaffer & Co. operate the Rock Island
transfer elevator at Council Bluffs.
To The Bee Friday morning Mr. Sturte
vant said his company does not operate
the Rock Island elevator, but operates
through It, and that the road will accord
the transfer privilege to any shipper. This
Is conceded to be true. At the same time,
he said, he Intended to ship his grain to
Chicago by the Rock Island. This Is pre
cisely what 'the members of the Grain ex
change are objecting to.
In speaking of this matter the grain men
cite a little bit of history... J. J. Stream of
Chicago, manager . of Shaffer A Co., at
tended the meeting of the Iowa Grain
Dealers' association at Des Moines' early
In the summer and the twenty Omaha
grain men who were present were struck
by his adverse criticism of the Omaha mar
ket, which he characterised as artificial.
Secretary McVann of the Omaha Grain ex
change went on record with a speech In

reply, though, of course, Mr. Stream's ac
tion was regarded entirely natural, he be
ing interested in building up the Chicago
market.
Ifet So Easily Passed By.
Mr. Stream's later actions are not so
easily passed by. He came to Omaha with
Mr. Sturtevant to arrange for the opening
of an office and it Is said he openly boasted
that, boycott or no boycott, he would get
the business. He made no secret of the
fact that he expected to send It over the
Rock Island road.
The elevators of the company In Chicago
are situated on the Rock Island tracks.
Mr. Sturtevant says the company came
to Omaha not to get business for the rail
road, but for Itself. While the grain men
here do not Impugn the company's motives,
they declare It unfortunate that the move
should have been decided upon at a time
when the road It intends to use Is at war
with the grain exchange. PrerloiS) to Sep
tember 1 Shaffer A Co. were represented
by George li. Lyons, a commission broker,
who did not devote his entire attention to
the business of this concern, but acted
as tepresentatlve of other Chicago houses.
Now the company has sent one of its own
men here, and this, together with Mr.
Stream's alleged attitude, makes the local
men suspicious.
Ho Prejudice Acninst It.
Members of the exchange soy they wel
come the new concern and will accord It
every courtesy consistent with the situa
tion. They say they will not refuse to
sell grain to the company, provided they
are allowed to bill It over another road
than the Rock Island, and one man says
he recently sold Shaffer 4 Co. ten cars
to go over the Great Western.
The fact that another company la ship
ping over the boycotted road, through tbe
transfer elevator, is mentioned by Mr.
Sturtevant. The grain men recognise this
fact, and they are refusing to feel to this
company also, unless allowed tc bill their
cars over soother road.
The story that iv. lo-;al man told Mr,
Sturtevant be would tilt sell Shaffer Co.
a car of corn' even If it bid 3 Pints above
the market, la admitted to be a mistake,
The remark was made to another rersn
and applied to anyone who wiihal to ship
by the Rock Island.
MAN WANTS HISNAME ALONE

Calvin MIthcell Short, In his petition for
divorce from Ora Bell Short, makes the
unusual request that the court decree that
his wife go back to her maiden name, Ora
Bell Holllngsworth. Ordinarily It Is the
wife who requests the change In her name.
Mr. 8hort charges his wife with "Inhuman
and extreme cruelty." She kept this up,
he says, until last March, when he waa
forced to leave her.
Clara M. Seaman wants a divorce from
Charles 8. Seaman because, she says, ha
stays out late at night and spends bis
money elsewhere than at home. She says
he has not supported her and the two chil
dren properly and she has been forced to
work to earn money for them to live on.
She also charges him with cruelty. She
asks for a restraining order to keep him
from molesting them.

LIFE SPENT JF0R SUFFERERS
Dr. Harvey Link of Millard Is Honored
by Vriends Who Loved
Bins.
The funeral of Dr. Harvey Link at Mil
lard Wednesday was one of the largest and
moat impressive which that little commu
nity ever saw, and Rev. Charles W. Savldgs
of Omaha, who conducted the services,
says there were many features about It that
will be long remembered aa tributes to the
kind and useful life of the late pioneer.
Dr. Link waa in his ttd year. He bad
practiced medicine sixty years fifty years
at Millard and waa classed with that old
school of doctors who loved their profes
sion and their patients above all else. And
many people whose survival of him ktands
as tokens of his skillful and devoted care
and attention of them traveled miles to
attend bla funeral. Harry L. Goodman, a
Chicago traveling man, came 70S miles when
he heard of the doctor's death. j
"Forty years ago I was a poor German
boy, unable to speak English and supposed
to be dying of typhoid fever," said Mr.
Goodman to a friend at the funeral. "Dr.
Link waa summoned to attend me and he
did more than H was supposeS human
hands could do, and you see me here today.
I told my family after that, when Dr. Link
died, no matter where I waa to advise me
and I would arrange to go to the funeral."
Mrs. Pat Powers of Omaha, who once
lived at Millard, said that when her fourth
child died of diphtheria Dr. Link was so
overcome with grief that ha told her If It
would assuage her grief he would gladly
give her one of his own ohlldren.
