' " NAMES ON BILLOT BY PARTY Candidates for Excise Board and City Engineer Win Oat JUDGE ELDICK DECIDES CASE Coart HIU Statate lavolYvd Hast B Coaatraed Liberally aad la teat of Legtatatare Maat B Coasldered. Th namofl of the men nominated by the republican and democratic city committee for th Board of Fire and police Commis sioners and city engineer wilt go upon the ballot a party candidate. Judge Redlck granted. Saturday morning the mandamus against City-Clerli Butler prayed for by the candidates chosen by the committee. Judge Redlck declared that the statute Involved must be construed liberally and that, first of all. It must be held that It waa th plain lntenc of the legislature In providing for primary elections not to de prive political parties of the right to nominate candidates. Vacancies in the of fice In question, occurred a soon aa the law waa enacted making these office elec tive. The law provide that vncanoles In a party ticket occurring after a primary election shall be filled by the city or county or' atst committee a the case may be. ' Now, thai actual voting at th primary ocourred after the law making the offlcca elective had been passed. The court held that If the failure to nominate by either part? at the primary had been In default or omission through .negligence, then the city committee would have no right to act, for the, law apeak only of vacancies after primary How ta Coast roe th I.atr. . ' Sinew there Is a thirty-day provision with legard to filing for primary nomination and since this date back of the day th legislature enacted the " law,'- the primary,' said Judge Redlck, must tie understood to have been begun thirty days previous U th day voting waa' actually done. Inter pretlng the law this way It leavea vacanci in party tlcketa not filled by the voting a the primary, which vacancies the city com mlttee have the right to fill. When Judge Redlck had ruled granting the mandamus which order the city clerk to place on the official ballot 'the names of the ten candidates in question, the olnt was raised as to whether the name, go on the voting machine or on an add! tlona! printed ballot. - The fourt did no declare himiolf on the question. It waa not set forth in th petition for a man damua. City Attorney Burnam and Drputy At tor ney Dunn have declared that the machine will not Include the name of all the forty eight candldatea tor the Board of KTre and Police CommUaionera. In this they are mistaken aa matter of fact. It la not likely that the name of the party candldatea will go on the ma chine and the tndupender.ta on the bal lot, and the city con nil t toes are Insistent that thone who wish to vote a s,tralch ticket, either on the machine or entirely by ballot, shall have the opportunity. The law In this la f)laln and simple, saying "no voting machine shall be approved unlee It I o constructed that It Insures every voter so desiring the opportunity to vote a straight party ticket by the operation of a single device (lever)." Elmer Thomas, who appeared In the cases as an lntervenor, filed exception with Judge Redlck a to law and to fact laying particular etifss on a offering to prove that the old committee of the republican pffrty waa without authority and that the democratic committee acted without a quorum. Judge Redlck over ruled this on the ground that the law states that objection to certificate of nomination must b filed jaithln three day. . Thorns completed hi record for ap peal In the afternoon and expected to go to Lincoln to. be heard by the supreme court Monday evening.

A series of smajl forgeries, covering a period of six months and involving many grocery store, saloons and other business houses, Is alleged against Jim Collins, the man arrested Saturday by Patrolman Con nelly and Borto after Fred Amburat, a grocer at Twenty-third and Vinton streets, had caahed a check for him. The csalstant county .attorney haa already found several cases against the man and haa drawn up complalnte 'on them. He will probably file them in police court Tuesday morning. Besides Amburst the police say there are many other victims of Collins' ability aa a signer of checks. Chief of Detectlvea Bavage says that among the storekeeper! and business houses where the man has secured money on check are the following: George H. Wachter, saloon, Sixteenth and Martha streets; O. E. Johnson, grocer, 2330 South Twentieth atreet; Frit Bclmer, 73 South Sixteenth street; John Nettler. 3223 South Twenty-fourth treet; Reed Bros., grocer. X23 Leavenworth atreet; Hayden Bros. 8IXtnth and Dodge streets. At the Wachter saloon Collins Is said to have cashed a. $13 check. Grocer Johnson let go of $11 on a fU check, according to the police, while Golllna secured the change from a 8 check at the Amburst grocery Saturday after buying a. pound of butter. Th other amount were also small. It Is believed that Collins la not the man' real name, but he refuses to tell the police and will not give his addresa. He makes no confession in any of the cases.

R. FARBER ON ZIONISM II Sara There la No Doabt 'of th Practicability of This Teaching. "The practicability of Zionism I nut doubted among th people who have given It aome study," declared Dr. R. Farber In a lecture Sunday evening to the Zionist of Omaha. "Zionism haa accomplished more tor the Jewish nation In the ten or twelve years of Its modern existence than any other movement of the past. It has cauaed Jewry through the world to awaken and see what Is about It It haa been the factor which has brought about unity In a ineaaure where nono existed. Zionism liaa shown the wor'd that Jew I not yet dad, nor I he ready to die. That he I' still alive and that the flag which haa been packed away for eo many cmttifles la not yet surrendered, but that It shall wave once more undor the heavens of a united Israel. The fact that the Jews havV been so mistreated throughout the ceniJ turles gone by, and still retain their Iden tity Is due to their careful home religious' education and training. The traditions of old Is what kept this old wandering people, in existence. It Is that which kept them surviving, though they were burned at the stake and tortured with untold agonies. And It Is this which mustNhe done now In order to bring about a rehabilitation of our' people Instruct the new and young genera tion In our old Jewish history and religion.''
