Keifer Says Law for Nonpartisan Judiciary is Bad Chairman of Republican State Com mittee Says Some Action Will Be Taken Tuesday. An Impressive ceremony Incident to Arbor day and prsctlced for the first time In this part of the country wss observed Thursday afternoon at Fontanelle park In the planting rf three memorial trees In honor of women distinguished for their patriotism and loyalty to the great work of the Woman's Relief corps. The three women thus honored were Anna Wittenmeyer, an army nurse during the civil war; Mother Blckendyk, the noted army nurse of the western armies during I the civil war. and Fast National President Llsabeth A. Turner of the Woman's Relief corpa. The proceedings were legun with a for mal ceremony Bt Magnolia hall. Twenty fourth street and Ames avenue, held under the auspices of Crook corps, with Grant and Custer corps participating, at 2:3'. This included sddresses appropriate to the occasion by Mrs. J. C. Miller. Mrs. T. I Hull, Mrs. F. B. Baker, Mrs. G. H. Schleh. Mrs. Mary Glrard Andrews and others, with a suitable musical program. After the exercises at the hall the mem bers of the different corps, with a number of Grand Army men, took the Ames avenue cars for Fontanelle park, where the cere mony of planting the trees were carried out. Bach tree was labeled with an alumi num tag Indicating In whose honor it was planted, and as each tree was placed In the ground a short sketch of the person in whose honor it was planted was given by those delegated to plant the separate trees. Observance by Schools. Last year the only trees planted In Omaha on public ground were by ths school children of the Train and Beals schools In the suburbs. One tree each was planted by the schools. This year that number whs cut In two and but one tree was planted by a school. This was by the senior class of the high school, with appropriate exercises. The graduating classes have never before planted a tree, but the class of 1909 secured permission to Inaugurate the Idea and In the future It Is probable that every graduating class from the Omaha High school will on Arbor day plant one tree as a monument to the body of young men and women who went through the school. Copies of a small volume on Arbor day, compiled by former Governor Robert W. Furnas, the first governor of Nebraska to Issue an Arbor day proclamation, and con taining many complimentary words from men of national reputation on the great work started by Mr. Morton, were sent to the principals of each school In Omaha Thursday by Dr. Davidson and portions of the matter contained In the book were used in short exercises given In the schools. In the volume Is this stanza from the pen of Kdmund Clarence Stedman and ded icated to J. Sterling Morton: Tribute of fruits be hie, and glossy wreaths From roadside trees, and his the people's love.

"In my opinion, the nonpartisan Judiciary law Is bad," said J. Warren Keifer, Jr., chairman of the republican state com mittee, while in Omaha Thursday after noun. "At the republican state committee meet- Ing to be held next Tuesday the question or attacking the law will be discussed and no doubt some move will be taken. As chairman of the committee I would be will ing to call a convention for the nomination of supreme Judges and regents of the Uni versity of Nebraska. Then some member of the committee or someone else could file an injunction suit. Frobably It would be the duty of the attorney general to file the suit. In this way the case could be brought to the atttentlon of the court. "I believe no law Is constitutional which provides that a political party cannot en dorse candidates for office or nominate them. Besides several sections of the law amended sections of the old law which has already been repealed. "At the committee meeting we will also discuss the matter of finance and take steps to keep the organization Intact and supply it with necessary funds." - o 1000 Wommu on sug- SATuTDrY $ I Q -ten.'tk.

Stevens of Portland. Me president of the National Women's Christian Temperance union, who, with Miss Anna Gordon, vice presi dent of the organization. Is In the city, presented the tree. 8he said that her last letter before leaving her office to come to Omaha was to decline an Invitation to participate In a tree-planting on Boston Commons, but that she was proud to have part In such a ceremony here In the state -where Arbor day had Its orlgls. Mrs. Louis Borshelm of the Omaha union also spoke briefly. Miss Gordon concluded the ceremony with a prayer. A luncheon for the club women followed In the audience room of the association building, about sixty women being pres. ent. Week of Fasting for the Boosters Several Organisations Participate In Ceremony at V. W. V.' A. Corner. Two more boauty spots were planted at the still unlovely corner of Seventeenth street and St. Mary's avenue when two shapely young trees were set out on the grounds of the Young Women's Christian association, gifts to the association from the Omaha Woman's club and the Women's Christian Temperance union of this city. The ceremony was attended by a gener ous representation from tho three organ izations and took place at high noon In celebration of Arbor day. The Woman's club tree was planted first. It is a white elm and stands In the small triangular grass plot at the northwest corner of the building. Mrs. V. J. Burnett of the club's forestry committee spoke briefly of the origin and observation of Arbor day, concluding with the wish that this first tree to be planted by the club might live as long aa tha famous elm under which William Penn signed the treaty with the Indians. Mrs. Kdward Johnson, president of the club, made the presentation briefly. Mrs. W. P. Harford, president of the DEMOCRATS WILL HOLD NO ANTE-CONVENTION MEETING This Is What Tom Allen, the State Chairman, Says Ahont the Matter. . T. tl. Allen, chairman of the democratic state committee, believes the democratic party will not hold any meeting following Its state convention, for the purpose of selecting candidates for supreme Judge. It Is his opinion such a meeting Is not neces sary. "It la very probable." says Mr. Allen, "that only three democrats will file for supreme Judge and in that case it will not be necessary for any kind of a convention or meeting to eliminate or endorse candi dates. At our state convention we will simply name a state committee." Business Men Forget to Allow for Meals on Trade Excursion Sched ule and Must Go Hungry. Wholesalers, grain dealers and members of the South Omaha Live Stock exchange who are golrg on a trade excursion through western Iowa May 17 to 22, have decided to fast during the trip. The official schedule was published on Thursday and It was found that no time had been allowed for eating, though two dining cars had been ordered. J. M. Guild, commissioner of the club, was dispatched to Chicago to see how the Northwestern commissary department could arrange to carry a party which did not have time to eat and what kind of dining car service could be arranged on the "I'needa Quick Lunch" plan. With only five to seven miles between stations In Iowa the excursionists would not have time to eat as they did In Wyo ming last year, where they traveled from fifteen to thirty-five miles without a stop. This the schedule committee forgot and made out the trip without a single oppor tunity to eat. It Is now up to the North western company to fix up liquid foods or something which can be taken while the excursionists are on the march.

"I have no pergonal quarrel with Mayor Dahlman, but when he as sumes to represent the democratic party I, in common with other dem ocrats, have a right to examine his official conduct and his political principles for the purpose of determining whether or not he li entitled to be classed as a representative of my party. "Mr. Dahlman was originally selected as candidate for mayor by a coterie of gentlemen representing the franchised and other corporations of this city. This Is susceptible of easy proof. He has been loyal to the Interests of bis creators ever since, yet he pretends to be a friend of the people. "Instead of seeking to build up the democratic party he has built up a personal machine advocating a hrand of democracy heretofore unknown to the people of this state, showing clearly that his purpose has been to benefit himself and not the party. "He took a solemn oath to obey the laws, and then issued a com mand to the chief of police to disobey the laws and to Ignore the ac tions of those who violated the laws. This led to the passage of the Sackett law, which enables any citizen to force the closing not only of the saloons on Sunday, but to endanger every innocent out-of-door sport that the common people delight in. He claims to be the friend of the common people, and yet he Is unable to point to a single act in his en tire administration in support of this claim. "He claims to be the friend of Mr. Bryan, and yet hla conduct has done Mr. Bryan more hirn In the eyes of the clean. Independent voter than that of any othc; orrat In the state. "When the univei. transfer ordinance came before him for his approval he turned it down, showing that he was still loyal to bis projectors, the corporations. "He pretends to be the friend of the laboring man, yet filled nearly every position open to skilled labor with nonunion men. When the Central Iibor union protested against this be Ignored the protest. - "He has shown no interest whatever In the great commercial hodifs of the city, and seems to be utterly out of sympathy with them. This is not the way to build up a city. "He claims to love the dear people, and yet he has done everything in his power to take away from them the right to select their own fire and police board. Why? Simply that he might build up bis personal Interests. "Finally, I challenge you to name a single act in the entire admin istration of Mr. Dahlman which entitles him to a single democratic vote." Fpeeeh of C J. Bmyth. delivered March Zl. It0, it reported In the World-tletaid M'VANN IN HIS NEW PLACE Assumes Position of Traffic Director for the Commercial dab Korean. Directors rf the Omaha Grain exchange held a meeting; Wednesday evening:, trans acting routine business and referring- the matter of employing- a secretary to a special committee with power to act. B. J. McVann, who has been secretary for several years, finally becomes the head of the traffic bureau of the Omaha Com mercial club and Omaha Grain exchange. The new secretary of the exchange will be relieved of handling traffic affairs, which have been a large part of the work of Mr. McVann. Hla term as secretary of the exchange has now expired, but he will act until a successor is named. Without the traffic affairs the secrctary ahlp becomes a much lower salaried posi tion and the management the conducting of a grain clearing house.

"There is not a word of truth In this or other reports that tho 8 o'cilock closing law will have any effect on the Saengor fest and the groat meeting pf the choral societies of tho west will be held In Omaha next year just the same. These, singers are not coming .here to drink beer, and It Is a slander on the organization to publish stories to tho effect tnat the new liquor law In Nebraska will In any way deter the meeting of the Saengerfest In Omaha."
