If you take down your telephone re
ceiver today and, Instead of a silvery
Inquiry 'for "Number, please," you hear
an equally silvery voice say "Kmc park
Supper S to 7 Dancing 7:30 to 11," don't
set angry.. Just laugh a silvery laugh",
if ypu are of the fair and gentle sex; or,
If you belong tb the homely and rough
half of humanity, chortle an equally
sood-natured Iron laugh (have to keep
vp this metaphor) and graciously pardon
"Central." For her excuse la good-the
big fclcnlo Is today, the third annual
picnic of the employes of the Nebraska
Telephone company, with the allied WeBt'
ern union ana western Electric com
panies. Frank Built has been busy for weeks
00 the details.
From his office In the telephone build
ing have gone out hundreds of tickets.
And these tickets shall be a sign of Iden
tification to all the happy crowd at Krug
park. If you see a man with a rod ticket
fluttering from his lapel you will know
that he Is on the company payroll; when
you observe a man with a yellow tag,
you will bo assured that he Is the par
ticular gentleman friend of some young
woman employe of the company and
probably on some payroll himself (dear
me, yes, he has a fine position); the bet
ter halves of the company -employes will
bo distinguished by blue tags and heirs
apparent of company families by green
tags; It's all done, you see, by Bystem,
that great watchword of successful con-
crns. .
rrojrrkin Start Early.
8ieclal cars will leav vift.M-.nih nn.i
Capitol avenue at 1:30 for the park,
where a grand program will begin at 2
o'clock. There'll be the ladles' candle
lighting contest, mixed couples' relay
race, ladies' .ball batting contest, boys'
peanut nose race, In which youths will
vie with each other in rolling peanuts
with their noses. .
Then there will be other sporting events
somewhat related to the telephone busi
ness the pole-setting contest, the pole
climbing contest and" the "centipede
race." What is a centipede race7 Well,
a tent pole Is placed on the shoulders of
six men and fastened by ropes around
their respective and several necks. Then
they run.
On the programs the picture of a
human nose Is printed. To the plonlcker
who first discovers the owner of this
nose In the crowd a prlio of ii will ac
crue. The method of procedure is laid
down accurately as follows:
"The owner of the above nose will be
on the grounds alt afternoon. Hoi your
program, point to the picture of tho nose,
look at the owner and say, 'I know who
knows whose nose this noso is; It Is
youre." "
"If he says, Tou're right; you know
who knows whose noso this is,' you get
the 5."
Last year there were 1,400 tickets sold
for-the picnic. This year even a greater
number wilt go. William Cosh wlU be
marshal of the day.

AUDITORIUM PURCHASE
IS BEING CONSIDERED

BUbmlsslon of the proposition at a gen
eral election. The prlco of the. Audi
torium has" been fixed by the directors
at '$225,000, but It is believed this price

ably 'call for $250,000, to make improve
ments and provide' a fund for mainte

commission which haa been conferring
with the Auditorium directors, favors the

W.H.Taft Elected
President of the
Bar Association
MONTREAL, N Canada. Sept. 3. Ex
Presldent William H. Taft was elected
president of tho American Bar associa
tion thlo afternoon at the close of tho
annual meeting.
This, the last day of the American Bar
association's meeting, was devoted to a
discussion of means to simplify legal
procedure and election of officers'. Ex
President Taft was tho chief speaker
this morning at a iolnt session nf thn
section of legal education and the Asso
ciation or American .Law Schools.
Papers woro f ead at tho bar associa
tion SymDOSlum bV William C. Honk nt
Kansas, Judge of the federal circuit
court of appeals; Judge N. Charles Burke
of the Maryland court of appeals and
William A. Blount of Pensaola, Fla.
Judge Hook urged brevity and Bira
pltclty, and said:
"H Is a common remark that the ablest
lawyers draft tho most concise pleadings,
submit the briefest briefs and make tho
short arguments."
Judge Burke's subject was "Legal Pro
cedure and Social Unrest." Tho struggle
between capital and labor, he urged, was
responsible for new conditions calling
for new laws to govern them.
"But no matter what statutes may be
enacted with respect to legal procedure
If counsel are not diligent In the prepara
tion of the case for tvlal, or if one side
or tho other Is bent on delay, It is dif
ficult for the Judge to do much."
Mr. Blount declared that the task of
remodeling pleading and practice de
volved -"on tho progressive conservatives"
of the profession. "The goat," he said,
"is Justice and this in large part in
expensively obtained."
LIGHTNING STRIKES
ALFRED E. LINDELL HOME
Lightning struck th"e home of Alf. Ft.

festal receipts for the month of August
ever the corresponding month In 1913.
The gross receipts for the month Just
closed were $100,5J3.32, as against $91,763.33
In August, 1912.
Considering thtat August Is the lightest
month of the year for postal receipts, tho
Increase of 9J4 per cent over the corre
sponding month last year Is considered
to be nothing short of marvelous. During
the month of August very little advor.
Using Is done by Jobbers.
Tho Increase In gross postal receipts
for the last three months In comparison

year Is $35,6T0. During June, July and

Will Refuse Street
Oar Company Permit
to Make Extension
City commissioners sitting as a com
mittee of the whole yesterday decided
unanimously to ask the street railway
company to build the proposed car lino
extension Into the western part of the
city on Center street instead of on For-
ty-elghth, Poppleton and Fifty-first, the
route chosen by the street railway com
pany.
City Commissioner McGovern, follow
ing up this action of tho city council, will
refuse to grant tho street railway com
pany a permit to tear up tho street and
lay tho track on the Forty-eighth street
route, notwithstanding a rule of tho city
legal department that tho council has no
power over the stroet railway company
insofar as extensions are concerned.
"Tho Forty-eighth street route is not
graded," said McGovern, "from Forty
eighth street to Poppleton avenue and
from Poppleton avenue to Fifty-first
street, and the company therefore cannot
build a line there. Property owners
along the street have petitioned for tho
grading" but no work has been done."
. , McQoverii said he would refuse to lssun
tho permit If the street car company In
sisted on building along Forty-eighth
ntreet to Poppleton avenue Instead of on
Center .street from Thirty-second to
Fifty-ninth street, where the street In
all boulevarded, He said he would put
the matter before the other city commls
sloners. '
I FEEDERS BUYING CORN TO
FATTEN STOCK OFF RANGE
Kansas stockmen and cattle feeders are
on the market,, for Nebraska com. Con
siderable quantities of the cereal are be
lni.' bought in Omaha and other Nebraska
markets and shipped to Concordia, Seneca
land asfar west as Stockton, tb be fed
to cattle that are to be quickly finished
off and sold for beef.
Reports from Kansas ere to the effect
that the grass fed cattle ru In splendid
' condition and that stockmen figure that
' in buying Nebraska corn at present high
prices, they can make money fattening
their animals. Of course, the corn going
1 Into Kansas from Nebraska Is ail last
year's crop.
i PRESTON LAMENTS LOSS
OF HIS PET CHEATERS
George W. Preston, advertising man
ager of The Bee, Is disgusted with human
nature. Tuesday he went into the
Omaha National Bank tiulldlng to de-
posit a sum of money, and laid down a
pair of gold-bowed glasses, fitted with
lenses made especially for his own eyes
He turned his back for a moment, and
then when ho reached for bis glasses
they were gone.
They are not worth an) thing to rny
one else," lamented Mr. Pieston. "But
if whoever took them tries to wear 'em
It'll be plenty of satisfaction to me, be
cause they'll sure get crocs-eyed."
ARRESTED FOR REFUSING
TO SELL CUSTOMER ICE
George F. Howell of the Square Deal
Ico company was arrested yesterday
morning by John Grant Pegg for re
fusing to sell Ico to certain customers.
He will be given a hearing this morn
ing on a similar charge Hied earlier in
the week.
AFTER SCH00LBOARD JUNKET
Judge English Issues Temporary He-
straining Order in Case.
SIMILAR TO THE CITY CASE
School Donril Had Aitreed to Pny the
Expense of Dr. llolovtehlner
and Superintendent Graft
to Itaffnlo.
Ellas Holnvtchlner, president of the
school board, ond Ellis IT. Graff, super
intendent of tho Omaha schools. Who at
tended the International Congress of Hy
nlcne in Buffalo, during tho last week In
August, wilt bo unable to collect from
the school board money paid out by
them for expenses, It the district court
takes the view that their case la like that
of City Commissioners Ryder and Kugel,
who were Tuesday enjoined from receiv
ing money expended In a trip to Win
nipeg. E. A. Smith, the attorney who was
plaintiff In the Ryder-Xugci suit, has
asked tho court to enjoin llolovtehlner
and Graff from putting In claims for
their expense money for their eastern
Junket. By a resolution passed August
13 the school board agreed to pay the
expenses of tho trip. The two men also
Visited several technical schools In the
cast.
Tcninornry ItesirnlntnR Order.
A temporary restraining order as asked
was signed by Judge English and Sep
tember 11 was set as the date for a
hearing. This case Is on Judge English's
docket, while the Ryder-Kugel suit Was
heard by Judge Troup, who said that
"so far as he was concerned" squander
ing of publlo money in trips by officials
must stop.
Allegations mado by Mr. Smith In the
second case are similar to those made
In the first. Ho bases the right to brng
suit on the ground that ho Is a tax
payer and that the city's money Is about
to be squandered unless the court Inter
feres. He charges that unless Interfered
with Mr. llolovtehlner, as president of
tho school board, will take steps to have
the money paid dver to himself and Mr,
Graff.

LIBRARY WILL RESUME
REGULAR SCHEDULE MONDAY
After following the rulo of early closing
during the summer months the Omaha
publlo library will return to Its regular
hours on Monday." The doors will open
at 8 a. m. and close at 10 p. nt, thus
giving to readers sufficient time to
take ndvantage of the many sources for
pleasure and profit offered by this publlo
Institution. Although the building will
bo open for readers for thirteen hour:!,
the children's room will closo' at 7 p. m.
and tho circulation department at 8:30 p.
m., making it impossible to draw books
after the time mentioned. This extension
Is given in the reading and reference
rooms for the accommodation of thoso
people who cannot come to the library
early In the evening and the 10 o'clock
closing allows at least two hours for
reading and study. Tho' Sunday opening
will be the same as formerly, from 2
until 6 p. m.
In spite of the extreme hot wtather,
the patronage of the library hns in
creased over that of previous summers,
an the circulation of books for this
year promises to be a record breaker.
Although tho demands are many and
varied, the library is ablo to keep up tin)
supply of books reasonably well, al
thougn making no attempt to specialize
In any subject. Most of the study or
ganizations of the city have made known
their wants for the coming years to the
reference librarian and narly preparation
has been made for this work. A large
patronage is expected as soon as the
weather Is cooler, and new books are now
being added in order to meet this de
