Answer to Norris
i
John L. Kennedy, chairman of the state
republican committee, has mailed to Con
gressman E. W. Norris of the Fifth Ne
braska district a reply to the letter's pro
posal that a plebiscite vote be taken on
I his right to a place on the republican
'ticket, as a candidate for the United
States senate.
Mr. Kennedy points out the legal dif

iand other objections, and' raises the ques
ition of hi own power or that of the
present stat committee to order such an
Selection. The Bfe of the present commlt
jtee expires with the convention next

'April, and so far no state committeeman
has been heard to question his right to
a place on the ticket.

Mayor Thomas Hoctor, Bruce McCul

Watkins - and Rabbi Merrlt, all have
voices that could make Demosthenes'
aound like the whistle on a peanut roaster
and .they proved It at the den Monday
night when the South Omaha boosters
were the guests of Samson.
Each had a collection of similes, syn
ecdoches, metaphors and other rhetorical
Implements which he tossed about non
chalantly, but with precision. They made
adjectives and adverbs sit up, lie down,
roll qver and play dead and each
brought his speech to a grand climacteric
probably unequaled before since the
death of Disraeli.
What did they say? Oh, nobody
knows, exactly. It was all about Omaha
and South Omaha Omaha, the most
beautiful, magnificent and splendid city
that lies under asure skies, embellished
by diamonds of manhood, women of
beauty unadorned, of grace, of bloom
and intelligence; buildings, whose peaks

HUGO BRAMB IS AT REST
Many Attend Last Services for Prom
inent Omaha Citizen.
SERVICES HOST IMPRESSIVE
Executive Committee of Commercial
Clab Attends in a Body
Burial is at Pleasant
Hill .Cemetery.
With a brief but Impressive ceremony,
characteristic of the mien of the de
ceased, funeral services for the late H.
Hugo Brandels were held yesterday morn
ing at U o'clock at Temple Israel, Park
Avenue and Jackson street. Rabbi Conn
officiating. ,
Fully 2,000 friends of the deceased, half
of the number employes of the Brandeis
firm, filled every available seat In the
temple and massed the aisles, the gal
lery and the choir loft Not. only busi
ness men, whose association with Mr.
Brandeis during his lifetime" caused' them
to respect his integrity and ability, at
tended, but the expectant little cash girls
whose dally service In the store brought
them in touch with his sympathetic bear
ing, the clerks, salesmen, department
heads and others who were wont to do
his bidding, and many friends In the so
cial and religious world who knew him
as a modest, staunch follower ot the gos
pel and teaching of everyday life.
The pulpit was a verdant bank of many
colored blooms, which cast out 'a flood
of refreshing fragrance over the heads
of the assemblage. Huge wreaths of
p.nk and red roses, bouquets of carna
tlons, slowly opening sweet peas, bunches
of asters and swansonias, mingled with
the white of the gypsy filla and the bud
ding green of the ferns, were decked In
front and around the somber bier.
As early as o'clock the temple began
to fill, and by the time set for the open
lng of the services all seats had been
taken and the aisles crowded. Rabbi
Cohn conducted the services, which lasted
a short thirty minutes, by reading the
ninetieth Psalm.
In his eulogy Rabbi Cohn compared the
deceased to a lily-white flower, pure and
unstained by the sins of the world. "It
is not because of his standing as a cltl
sen, his noteworthy achlevments and his
ability we loved and respected him," said
Rabbi Cohn, "but because of his worth
to the community as a man. He had a
womanly tenderness, but underneath it
all there dwelt the true manliness of a
man." Emil Brandeis who recently went
to a watery grave was also eulogised.
"Send My Wife Flowers.".
A sweet, yet pathetic picture was
painted by Rabbi Cohn when he told of
the dying bequest of Mr. Brandeis. "As
he was tottering on the brink, the vital
ity almost gone, his brother, Arthur
Brandeis, leaned over tenderly and asked
if there was any request to make. Hugo,
then in the very throes of the grim
reaper, murmured, 'Send my wife flow
rs.' " It was explained that it was cus
tomary for Hugo to send his wife a
fragrant boquet of blooms on the monthly
date of their wedding. The request will
be carried out hereafter by Mr. Arthur
D. Brandeis.
Easiness Men Attend.
Members of the executive committee of
the Commercial club garbed In somber
black dress suits together with the ac
tive and honorary pallbearers were
seated in the front pews of the temple.
Mrs. Hugo Brandeis, Mr. and Mrs. Ar
.thur D. Brandeis and most of" the rel
atives present were seated in a little
room to the right of the altar.
Services ended, the slow procession of
honorary pallbearers led by Rabbi Cohn
filed out through .the left aisle and formed
a line along the steps of the temple.
The bier was conveyed up the aisle
on rollers followed by the active pall
bearers who carried It down the steps
and consigned it to the waiting hearse.
The funeral cortege, nearly ten blocks
in length, then slowly wended Its way
from the temple to the Pleasant Hill
cemetery where the body was consigned
to the family plot'
In addition to near relatives two aunts
of the late Mr. Brandeis, sisters of the
mother, Mrs. Marcus of Chicago and Mrs.
Kauffer of Milwaukee, and two cousins,
Mr. and Mrs. George Brandeis of Chicago,
attended the funeral.
Mrs. Herman Cohn, sister ot the de
ceased, was the only near relative not
present She was notified of Hugo's death
by cablegram at Vevay, Switzerland, and
has replied saying that she will leave on

vards that wind and wind about babbling,
purling brooks and through shady dells;
parks that approach in splendor the
pearly gates of the City of Beyond.
And about South Omaha, which Is
with Omaha in its heart if not in boun
dary lines; South Omaha, with all its
vast riches, its great stock yards and
packing houses and its magnificent in
dustrial and civic institutions.
The city probably might not have
passed into first rank as an oratorical
center had it not been for the fine finale
of "Doc" Tanner. How thoughtful was
he. Probably knowing that all the choice
cuts in South Omaha oratory would be
dispensed, he came to the den with a
poem, with which to bring the exhibi
tion to a glorious peroration.
Stepping to the center of the ring he
secured a toehold and hammerlock on
Iambic pentameter and easily won his
two falls.
Shame a stenographer wasn't In the
house. The next time South Omaha has
a night at the den won't somebody please
bring a dictagraph?
COMBINED EM ARE FATAL
Willard B. Stewart, Contractor, is
Killed on Burlington Tracks.
i
HAD BEEN TO SARPY MILLS
Leaves an Automobile Party When
Driver Presents His Bill and '
His Body is Later Found
on the Tracks.
The body found alongside of the Bur
lington tracks by an eastbound freight
crew 'at 4:40 yesterday morning has been
identified as that of Willard D. Stewart,
a contracting carpenter, who had been
living for a short time at the O'Donnell
boarding house, Twenty-fifth and Dewey
avenue.
'Two evils 'combined to bring about his
end when he was struck, supposedly by
the Burlington freight traian passing the
point where he was found about forty
minutes before he was picked up. One is
the tough character of the steamboat
which came from Kansas City a few days
ago and has been plying in these waters
and the other' is the proclivities of un
scrupulous taxi drivers.
A Mldnlg-M Party.
Stewart took a party of women in an
automobile to Sarpy- Mills about 1 o'clock
Tuesday morning, and he was drunk at the
time, according to his landlady. When
time came to return the taxi driver in
sisted on the payment of la for the ride.
Stewart protested against the seeming ex
orbitance of the price, and he was not
permitted to ride home. He attempted
to walk, and while on his way to Omaha
by way of the Burlington track he was
struck and killed by the train.
Drank on Steamboat.
Stewart earlier in the evening had been
on the steamboat and It is said that he
became Intoxicated there. He later went
home, but about 1 o'clock in the morning
decided to gather up a party and go to
Sarpy Mills.
Stewart was about 40 yean old and has
been in Omaha only a few weeks. He
has a wife and several children in Kala
mazoo, Mich., and she has been notified
of the death by the coroner.
Stewart had a check for til and a few
silver dollars in his pockets when he was
killed.
Travelers to Enjoy
Their Annual Picnic
Travelers of Post A, together with their
wives, children and sweethearts, will have
a great time at their annual picnic to
be given Saturday afternoon at Miller
park.
There will be entertainment features for
everyone. The annual stand ball game
will be played between' the Melchoirs and
Holbrooks. The game will be concluded
at the end of the fifth inning. Then there
will be foot races for boys and girls,
sweethearts, fat ladles and all. For the

will be women's balloon races. Prises
will be offered in all events. A. W.
Miller will be master of ceremonies.
ST0ECKER BEING SUED
BY WRONGED TENANT
Olln MacDonald, a tenant, started suit
for $1,050 against William F. Stoecker,
landlord, in district court.
He alleges that on June 28 Stoecker
and some workmen marched Into the
house at 821 South Twenty-fourth street,
Stoecker announcing he was going to
make some repairs and if MacDonald
didn't like it he could move out. Stoecker
and the workmen proceeded to tear up
the dining room carpet and throw it
under a bed, tear down the curtains and
throw them in a pile on the floor and
move the furniture Into a bedroom, says
the petition. The men were not careful
and the carpet and curtains were dam
aged and the furniture was scratched.
For two days the house was torn up and
MacDonald had to stay away from bis
work to watch the proceedings at home.
When Stoecker and the workmen became
hungry, MacDonald alleges, they opened
the plaintiffs Icebox and helped them
selves to the contents thereof.

Mann Charges Joker
in Indian Land Bill
WASHINGTON, July 23. -Charging that
a "certain noted senator" had slipped a
joker Into an Indian land bill in con
ference. Minority Leader Mann today
raised the ire of Representative Burke
of South Dakota, republican, one of the
conferees. Mr. Mann Insinuated that the
change, which had not been considered
by either the house or senate, had Luen
made with some ulterior motive and
charged that It would affect the land
owned by Indians other than the five
civilised tribes, to which the bill was
supposed to be applicable.
The measure on which the conference
Is based, Is intended to remove restric
tions from part of the lands of the five
civilised tribes. A number of titles now
are cloudy. Mr. Mann contended that as
amended the bill would render the Indian
an easier prey to the land sharks. Ha
did not refer to the senator by name,
i The conference report was adopted and
the measure now goes to the president.
