City Attorney Burnam will reappoint his
present NMiltant, Ignatius J. Dunn, firm,
anil John A. Rlne,. second assistant city
attorney.
"I e no ron why r should make njr
change. I believe the two attorney have
1on good work that hat been acceptable
to all Irrespective of party affiliation, and
If Mr. Dunn ad Mr. Rlne- will accept re
appointment, I will aend their nimel to
the council," Raid Mr. Burnam.
'Hie first draft of the new city charter
contained a c I nunc Riving the city attorney
the power to appoint the city prosecutor,
hut this nut eliminated later and the power
of appointment Mill rest wltn the mayor.
Had It brcn given to the city attorney it
la more than probably that Herbert 8.
Daniel irnuld be reappointed, which will
not bo the cae with tha appoint Inn power
lodged mlth the trayor. Mr. Burnam la
a Jack, as are both hta assistant, and
friend of Mr. Daniel, who la alaa a Jack
and an appointment of the manor, tay that
had .the cliy attorney the power to ap
point the city prosecutor he would name
Mr. Daniel to succeed himself.
There are three active candidates for the
appointment of city prosecutor. Chief
amon these la I.. 3. Teroel, one of the
l-flfilnj Jim orators and a member of the
library board. Another la W. P. Lynch,
ecittary at tha democratic city committee
and right hand man of Bona Flynn. The
third l Fred W. Anheuser, also an ardent
i im,
lliua Ar Mat Worried.
Tliu ormocrata claim to have no worry
over- thcp- appointments and believe ..that
tha new council, though It will be evenly
divided with the republicans, will con
firm mom of the mayor' a appointees. They
base this belief on the new charter amend--ment
which gives the council ths power to
confirm the appointees of ths city engl
neer, which has not been the case hereto
fore. 1 The new engineer Is a republican and he
T.a the appointing of a large force. Many
-of the men inspectors and field engineers
are paid more than same of ths mayor's
appoinlee. notably the boiler, plumbing
and Hi-en. Inspectors, tha market master,
and others. These men are designated by
iftle and have offices In the city building,
which the engineer's force hav not, and
tills title la Worth something, they say.
However, If the . republican councllmen
will not "come across" and vol to con
firm the mayor's appointments, then the
democrats, they say, will not vote to con
lirm tha appointments to be mad by the
city engineer.
As tne council ia evenly divided, men
around the city hall look for some lnter
eating sessions In the fjture and possible
deadlock on matters of Importance.
Bergers Gets No
Light as Yet
Court Defen Ruling: on Motion for
Specific Definition of Charg-ei
in Alienation Case.
"The" petition talks of 'other false In
sinuations and other Insidious wiles and
Inducements.' We r entitled to know
sepclfically what these alleged Insinuations
and ao forth are. Does plaintiff mean that
Mergers, for Instance, told Mrs. Phelp
that her husband no longer cared for her
or that he was paying attention to other
women. An Insinuation can be nothing
other than a false statement, and by all
the rules of pleading the plaintiff must
set forth what these representations were."
So argued W U. Burbank before Judge
tears Saturday morning In behalf of his
motion in the suit of Prank Phelps against
John YV. Bergers for C4.000 for aleliistion
of Mrs. Phelps' affections.
Judge Sears did not rule upon the motion,
delaying a decision until next week. The
court did not seem to sympathise with
the motion. Burbank had supposed a real
estate case In which plaintiff alleged that
lis had been fraudulently treated by falau
presentation made.
"These representations would be made
to plaintiff hlmseir," said the court. "In
this case plaintiff would not be able to
say definitely what' bergeis said to Mrs.
Pholps, If he did, as alleged, make some
statement or Insinuations."
K. 11'. ulmsted appeared for l'hslps. Hs
declared after the hearing was over that
he had n it been anxious to show his en
tire hand to the defense in the petition.

SCHOOL CHILDREN ATTENTION
AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Counfry Club Opens Its Season Under
Favorable Conditions.
TWO HUNDRED GUESTS AT TABLE
Lincoln School Kntertalnment rl
I.arae Sum to Be Devoted to Par
chase of Some Fine Statuary
for Building,.
Under the most pleasant conditions of Its
history the South Omaha, Country cltili
opened Its regular summer Reason . yester
day. On till previous clays the weather hHS
been bo very cold or rainy that enjoyment
was out of the question and the greater
part of the functions of the day had to lie
postponed.
The only thing lacking In the afternoon
was the absence of formal sport on the
Itnka and tennis courts. The wind '
altogether too high for the latter and
served to frighten moRt of the golfers away.
Sherwood, Fitzgerald, Weppner, I,avcrty
and Culkln played three rounds of the
course, howeve., with fair success. Wind
to a golfer Is 'aken as one of the normal
hnxrds, but it had its effect In holding
down the scores. The games were simply
Informal. Other players were out later In
the afternoon.
When tho wind lulled toward night tho
lovers of croquet played on the excellent
new courts. The tennis courts are provided
with new nets and will be ready for play
hereafter.
The formalities began with the serving
of dinner at about 4:3t p. m. and thereafter
until nearly 7 p. m. many parties patronised
the cafe. Nearly 200 guetrts had reserved
plates for the function.
In the evening the first Informal dance
was enjoyed by many members. The
pavilion was lighted for the first time with
electric light, which wa counted a decided
Improvement. Dlmick's orchestra furnished
the music. The mild evening made the
dance one of the most charming in th
recollection of the guests. Over 300 guests
patronized the evening entertainment.
Lincoln School Fund Knrlched.
Owing to the overwhelming success of
the IJncoln school entertainment Thursday
evening, the school is able to report to the
1,000 or more patrons, who listened to the
splendid performance of the children that
the net nrofit was tZil.&. The school had
previously raised $47. So, making 1 SS in
the treasury for the purchase of statuary
for the Lincoln school building. This
amount will be sufficient tj secure a num
ber of most creditable works. IJncoln's
atatue will he the chief piece.
The great success of the evening was due
to Miss Robeson and her alile corps of
leathers and the efforts of Miss Knsor and
others, who had direction or assisted In
the musical numbers.
The program consisted of sixteen, num
bets all of which were finished to the
point of (wrfectiun. Not a slip could be
detected. The numbers in which the little
folks sang the choruses such as "Vol.es
of the Woods," adapted to Kubcnsteln'
melody in F. The flower song of Gaynor
with a drill', the Tin Dee fiee chorus, and
the soldier's chorus by flounod captivated
the listeners.
Of all the parts by the children the Tin
Oee Gee chorua led by Cherry O'Xeil and
a little son of Mr. and Mrs. William Mc
Gulgan wss the most dainty and charming.
It was the visit of children to a fairy toy
ahop and the adventures, they had with
their toy hobby horses and other treas
ures that formed the theme, "The Ja;nese
Love 6ong" was excellently rendered.
Patience Kelly, who lead the music for
the flower drill deserves mention for her
promising young voice. On a par with
her waa the solo of Carl Abbott, who sang
"Dawn" and "Because."

"Jack Straw'' Is tremendously clever In

might be deadly dull In other hands, and
very likely would. Mr. Maugham's vogue
Is recent, and he is surely debtor to the
actors who hae succeeded In presenting
his work so weii as to iiinke It popular.
He offers In tha present play nothing new
In either idea ur treatment, unless per
haps It Is that he assumes that politeness
will deaden the norma! perceptive faculties
