BOOSTING FOR NEW MEMBERS Lee Wayne, Engineer at Brick Yards, lias Arm Crashed by Getting; It taaabt In the Cogs at the, Clay Mixer, George W. Berge will be the guest of honor and speaker at the Young Men's Christian association banquet this evening. The arrangements for his speech were per fected several weeks ago. Mr. Berge is Riven the privilege of selecting hla own topic, but It is understood that It will deal with the association's relation to the live questions of political interest. The banquet is primarily for the purpose f stimulating membership. Dates will be laid for 150 guests. The hour Is 6:30 p. m. The membership of the South Omaha as soclatlon has never been what It should ave been since the association closed Its doors while the present quarters were be lng erected. Many efforts put forth have not succeeded In regaining all that was lost at that time. The membership was then abovo 100. The hope of the association rests on the results of the present cam' palgn. These matters will be discussed by varl ous members of the board of directors. The menu of the banquet Is In the hands of the Women's auxiliary. E. D. Wlcrs will preside. The toastmaster of the evening Is Dr. R. L. Wheeler. J. P. Bailey will speak on the physical department work. The mu- Ical numbers will consist of a solo by O. M. Williams and a selection by the associa tion orchestra. Engineer Loses Arm. Lee Wayne. Eighteenth and Chicago streets, Omaha, had his left arm crushed off yesterday evening at the Krlttcnbrink brick yards at Twenty-eighth and V streets Wayne Is the engineer of the plant and while oiling a boxing of the clay mixer his sleeve caught in a cog and his arm was drawn into the machine. It was mangled to the elbow. He was taken to the South Omaha hospital, where Dr. W. H. Slabaugh amputated the arm above the elbow Joint He suffered considerable pain after recover ing from the anaesthetic. Abide by Interacholastle Rotes. The high school pupils held a mass meet' ing and organized an athletic association last night, with a membership of seventy five. It was voted to enter and be gov erned by the rules of tho Interscholastio association. This ruling will have a de cided effect on the foot ball squall. Under the rule of the association a strt t adher ance to the qualifications will bar several members of the foot ball squad. One of these Is George Rapp, the present captain and quarterback. The situation is that Rapp passed In only one study la&t spring. when the association requires three. Rapp has this excuse that he did not take the final examination in the other studies, being forced to leave school before the term had expired. It Is thought that under the Interscholastio rules he will get his standing from the first semester of the year rather than the last. This will allow him to play In the team. His loss would be seriously felt and If it can be done under the rules he will be retained. Oar ence Meany and Emll Gall were two other members affected by the association rules. It appears that they have not the same reason for their standing. It was almost necessary for South Omaha to enter the association In order to complete its schedule and have a chance for the championship. The prospects are bright for the best team by far that has ever been turned out. Even with the loss of all contested members enough material Is left for a good team. The officers of the South Otnaha Inter- scholastic Athletic association are: John Campbell, president; Russell Clark, vice president; Prof. R. H. Johnson, secretary and treasurer. The chair appointed a spe cial committee to draft a constitution and bylaws under the prescribed rules of the Interacholastle association. Oplnm Den Raided.

WATER CONSUMERS ORGANIZE Proposal Is to Bring Snlt for Vhst ta Alleged to Be Excessive Charges. To discuss the discrimination which it Is alleged the water company has been practicing againet the small consumers, about seventy-five cltlxens gathered in the council chamber Thursday night and a committee of ten men was appointed to further the work. The meeting was called to order by Ernest Stuht, who instigated the movement, and after he had spoken the purpose of the agitation was ex plained by John O. Yelser. Mr. Telser is the attorney who will pueh the suit which the meeting signified Its intention of backing to force the water company to pay back as unjustly collected the rates which it has received in the past. It is the purpose of the attorney to get the court to settle a reasonable rate and then force the company to pay back to the people all that It has overcharged In excess of that amount. Harry Zlmman of the city council asked why the people dlasatisfied with the water service did not have the present Water board, which he said was doing nothing, altogether abolished. He de clared that he had fully expected to vote for a repeal by the legislature of the water commission law. Other speakers were Fred Mengsdoht, James McLeod, John Brandt, Fred Peterson and Charles Unitt. The committee which was appointed is expected to work among the citizens to arouse a sentiment against the Water board and to get together a larger com mittee of 100, which will collect funds and back legal action against the alleged discrimination of the water company. This committee as appointed consisted of Charles Unitt, I. P. A. Buerchert. James McLeod, Marshall Smith, Fred Mengadoht, Howard Wareham, John Roslczky, Ned Peterson, E. II. Howland and Thomas A.

Johns, who waa a prominent character in the ea.-ly histoiy of Nebraska, especially in the days of Governor Thayer, Judge O. P. Mason, James K. lioyd and their contempprarles. Mr. Johns was an ex-soldier and is at pres ent at the old soldiers' home at Leaven worth, Kan. He Is well along In the nine ties, but ho writes a clear, legible hand without a quiver of age apparent. Mr. John's letter, however, was like a breeze from the past. He talked as famil iarly of the pioneer characters and states men as people do of the men of this cam paign. He had not forgotten hiu grievances of the old days and still poured out vials of wrath on O. P. Mason and Thayer. He made an affectionate comment on the com paratively recent death of "Billy" Spencer, who was for many years Journal clerk of the Nebraska senate. Spencer died March 11, In Washington, a Jolly bachelor to the very last. He died alone In his room, un befriended, having at his side $11, (HO in gilt-edge bonds and securities and ),000 in gold, by actual weight eleven and one-half pounds. George W. Johns was private secretary or amanuensis to Judge Cobb during his ser vice on the supreme court bench. He couid never be prevailed upon to use a type writer nor take dictation. He Is said to have penned every opinion and decision handed down by the Judge. He ended this long letter by saying: "I haven't read up on the present situa tion for two days, and for modern politics I don't give a d n."' "That sentence," suid E. P. Roggen.
