Omaha Woman Helps
Baby of Poor Folks
to Needed Clothes
Mrs. W. R. Matthews Fits Out Little
. . .'Babe Who ii Clothed in a '
. Handkerchief.
' Mr. and Mrs. Joseph- Wenk. Russian
German immigrants to thla country, found
an angel in need In Omaha, while stopping
here a few hours Thursday afternoon.
A little baby was born. In the Wenk fam
ily fourteen days before reaching this city,
while the family were crossing the ocean.
The family had practically no ready cash
in the exchequer, and what they had saved
went for medical services, for they insisted
on paying for these.
As a result the Uttle baby had practically
not a stitch to its name when the Wenka
arrived In Omaha, on their way to friends
at Lincoln. ' Mra. William R. Matthews
of this city, while -passing through the
station, saw the Infant and stopped to chat
with Mrs. Wenk.
Immediately followed apologies in Ger
man for ths condition of "meln kind."
"It was the dearest little baby I ever
saw," declared Mrs. . Matthews afterward.
"Just aa clean,, its Uttle pink skin almost
shining from Its scrubbing. And wrapped
In a big black silk handkerchief."
The Omaha woman Insisted that she
should buy some clothes for the baby, and
an hour later they arrived, all dona up in
tissue paper, just as she would have sent
them to a personal friend. Friday Mrs.
Matthews received a postal card from ths
family, written In German, and Inviting
her to be preaent at the christening, a
great honor among the Russians and Germans.

DEAVER OPEiJfSSHOSHONE DAM
Omaha Man to Pull the Leref on
Mighty Irrigation Project.'
WILL IRRIGATE 150,000 " ACRES
GOTrranest Has Been Warklag Five
Years on This Project Highest
Dam In the , World Cost
Is Eaormoas. . '
D. Clem Deaver. an Omaha man, has
been chosen to pull the lever of the mighty
Shoshone project dam Just completed by
the United States reclamation service,
which will put In operation one of the
most wonderful irrigation services of the
world. The great event will be held June
S3, almost an even five years after the
day on which the dam was started, the
section known as the Ralston unit being
the one to be put In operation.
The Shoshone project, covering 150,000
acres of irrigable land, has been built , at a
cost of JtiTl.OOO to the government. One
of the dams built in the project is to
day the highest wall in ha world the
Shoshone Canyon dam,' 328.4 feet high.
This wall will reach forty-two feet higher
in the air than the famous Flail ron build
ing of New York.
C. J. Blanchard, statistician of the United
States reclamation service, will be present
at the opening also. Mr. Blanchard has
followed the work all through Its prog
ress, he and Mr. Deaver selecting the
sites for the big reservoirs. . Mr. Deaver
was asked. to aid in the work because there
is probably no man in the west who knows
more about the soils, the need of water
and ths farming possibilities of the Big
Horn Basin and northern Wyoming.
"I went out when the site was selected
and a year and a half later. was again out
inspecting the work," said Mr. Deaver.
"All tlyit time workmen had been chisel
ing, blasting and In other means taking
out rock from the Shoshone canyon pre
paratory to building the wall. In spit
of thla one could hardly notice that any
work had been done, so enormous was the
plan of building.
"When the dam Is started there will be
engines harnessed where the surplus water
comes through atunnnel under the moun
tain, and electric light and power will be
furnished to all the towns and farmers of
that part of Wyoming."
D. Clem Deaver la the colonisation agent
of the Burlington and is interested In plac.

Woman Sues Lawyer
for Health Damage
Plaintiff Declares Failure to Gain
Vindication by Reversal Was
Breach of Contract.
Damage of IK, 000 to her health because
of failure to "get honor back" In an appeal
from a divorce judgment, la alleged In a
suit against Byron -G. Burbank. attorney,
brought by a former client, Mrs. Anna
Pedersen.
In the suit filed in district court Friday
morning Mrs. 'Pedersen asks for judgment
of J25.590,. of which, Bhe avers. $2j,(XW la
for injury to her health and $W0 money
wrongfully collected. The suit Is based on
alleged breach of contract by the lawyer.
Mrs. Pedersen sets forth that the lawyer
agreed to get the divorce decree agalfiHt
her in district court reversed in the Btate
supreme court. This attempt failed, sne
said, because he did not confine his effort'
to a defense of her honor, but sought als
alimony.
Mr. Pedersen states that her Instrurtons
were simply that he' ahould secure a re
versal of the Judgment and thereby the
granting of a new trial in which she might
vindicate her honor,' and that the lawyer
waa not employed to secure ' alimony. She
alleges also that he was so neglectful of
her Interests that she waa forced to retain
Judge B. P. Holmes of Lincoln aa addi
tional counsel.'
The plaintiff admits that the contract be
tween herself and the lawyer specfled "a
reversed or modified Judgment," but al
leges that Mr. Burbank in reading the con
tract to her misrepresented by leaving out
the words "or modified." In caas he se
cured a reversal or modification of the de
cree by the contract, as it appears, instead
of ths S3u0 retainer the lawer was to re
ceive a deed for tome land valued at $900.
She alleges that acting on this contract
fraudulenty secured. Mr. Burbank baa at
tached the first l&uO installment of the
alimony and the cost money and threatens
to secure the whole of the alimony allowed
sjr ths supreme vourt, amounting to (1.000.
FOR SAFE AHD8ANE FOURTH
Chief Donahue Prepare Some Rules
1 to Be Enforced. ,
NO DYNAMITE CRACKERS GO
tltlseasMar Hae Flreworke Cele
brations, bot Only Under Cer
tain Regalatlons to Be Ap
. proved by the Bonrd.
No firecrackers, .except the little ones,
and no fireworks, except undedr the strict
est supervision, are to be permitted by
Chief Donahue, who has his own Ideas
of a safe and sane Fourth of July. "Under
no circumstances will the toting or dis
charging of firearms, 'loaded with blank
cartridges, be tolerated." says the chief.
Chief Donahue' is making his plans for
police regulations, on the national holiday.
As soon as he gets them completed, he will
send them to the fire and police board for
approval. He believes in taking time by
the forelock, especially In matters of this
importance.
"I like to see everyone enjoy himself,
says the chief. "But not at the expense of
life and limb. In the main, people are too
careless on the Fourth and for that reason
we have to regulate them, because they
won't regulate themselves.
"We will not permit the firing of crack
ers, except of the smallest kind. No giant
firecrackers, or those charged with dyna
mite, will be allowed. Neither will the
discharge of firearms under any condi
tions be permitted.
"However, If citizens want to have fire
work near their homes, they will be
permitted to do so, but only under rigid
supervision. The regulations will cover all
these cases and cltlsens will be advised in
plenty of time."
