Editor Polcar is
Taking Census on
People's Memory
Editor Joe Polcar Is taking a census of
Omaha memories, prompted, Mayor
James C. Dahlman belteves, by the prob
able necessity of having to forget where
he was on certain nights If T. G. Hansen
and F. M. Plckard are brought back to
Omaha to testify in the Burns-News at
tempted bribery case.
"Where were you a year ago?" one of
Polcar's representatives asked city hall
men. v "Where were you a month ago? A
week ago?"
The Polcar sleuth said he was trying
to find out how long some men's memories
were. He said some people had a pecu
liar system of remembering things by
keeping notes or mementoes of tho TC-caston.
Polcar's polling of tho memories of city
hall officials developed into a joke, as
the word was passed on ahead of the
"sleuth." The sleuth's notes show that
a large number of the city hall men de
veloped a sudden destro to go to church
and attended most every night. The others
all stayed at home with their families.
TODAY is the
Performance Nets
Nice Sum for Nurses
Between $M0 and t500 was cleared by
tho Visiting Nurse association on the
production of their play, "The Butter
flies," Monday evening. As some of the
ticket sellers have not made their reports
the total proceeds will probably be awelleJ
still more on the final count.
ESTELLE REFUSES TO TAKE
DAMAGE CASE FROM JURY
Decision by District Judge Estelle that
a Jury should decide whether the city of
Omaha should answer in damages to
Henry C. Behrens for Injuries sustained
when run down by an automobile In
which City Commissioner Ryder was rid
ing on his way to inspect the streets at
the public market, if sustained by the
supreme court, Is expected to have a far
reaching effect with regard to the posl.
tion of the city as defendant In damage
suits.
Tho judge declined to take the case
from the Jury on the ground that Ryder
was not acting within the scope of his
duties as head of the police department
when the accident occurred, but was
merely seeking to familiarize himself
with conditions in the vicinity of tho
market.

BE FINISHED TUESDAY
The quadrennial weighing of the malls
will be completed In this division on
Tuesday, according to Instructions re
ceived from Washington. Owing to the
fact" that the tabulation of the weights

Impossible to compare the weights this
year with the last general weighing In
this1 division. However, It Is known that
a substantial Increase is shown, much of
which Is attributed to the Increased
weight of the malls due to the Inaugura
tion of the parcel post.
