10 TOO PLACES AT SAME TIME Antis Refute the Suff Arguments ! Robert Smith Want Pay for Meet ing While Quarantined. BIO SAVING FOB THE COUNTY B re 4 we 1 1 Maat fmt ft Hark mm KmTt Smltk Will 5lt He Able t rash I HI Maar rial mi. Claims for payment of S3 per day for fifteen days' attendance at alleged meet ings of the Douglas County Insanity com mission during a period when he was quarantined at hla home aa the result of contagious illness in his family are a part of tho demands of District Court Clerk Smith on the county treasury, whose withdrawal is forced by the state supreme court decision In the Brondwell case." Other claim for "attendance", for holi days and Bundays had already been thrown out by the county's auditors since thera was no showing of emergency nor any indication that such meetinKs had actually been held, except, perhaps, by telephone. There are thirteen such in stances within period of two and one half years. Douglas county taxpayers are approxi mately $1,000 richer today than they were last week by reason of the decision, which said that the clerk of the district court must not retain fees whk-h pass through his hands as ex officio member of the, county Insanity commission. Maat Pat It Back. Former Clerk Broadwell. or his bonds men, must pay to tho county about $,W0. which is the balance due after a previous payment of 11.300. Clerk Ilobert Btntth, now in office, will never be able to col lect approximately x,WW, which, accord ing to his records, he has been claiming. This includes extra fees for keeping the records which the law makes hla duty, but which la actually dona by county em ployes In his office. The insanity fees case is distinct from Hi naturalisation fees rut In which suit for several thousand dollars has been started against Nm'.th by the county board. Insanity fees had been hold up by tha county board on account of the Broadwell case pending In supreme court. Smith's records show that nothing was allowed 'to interfere with his attendance1 at.' Insanity board meetings at W per meeting His record for punctuality nd attendance at these meetings la practically perfect and In , Sunday school or any classroom would have earned him a pretty nedal. Neither accident. Illness, quarantine orders of the health physician nor Sundays or holidays were allowed to Interfere with this record. Two Places at Onee. Although from March to 24, IMP, ha as ' quarantined at his home, 'he ac complished the feat of at the same time attending fifteen board meetings. His records show hundreds of meetings ex lending over a period of several months. AS these; meetings, according to the rec ords, all three members of the board were present. Kor their attendance at these tosaions Smith's fellow members already have drawn their pay from the county. The meetings each week number from three to four. Ob January It, 1914, the record shows a meeting at. which the physician mem ber of the board was authorised to ex amine the patient. This business, in fact, wag transacted over the telephone, and there was no other business before the board that day. Other similar cases this ' year, when all three members Maimed M each fer making an order .oncernlng a solitary patient, are: January 1 Report on case and order ' to county hospital. January 2-Recelved oral report from physician. January 27 Directed physlclsn to make lamination. . Kobruary 7 Heard oral report. February 14 Order of release from county hospital. April 13 Directed physician to examine atlent. eieptember Sent patient to county lespltal. September 4 Bent patient to asylum. September St Directed examination of petlent. Printed on Fans Miss Lucy rriee, anti-suffrage speaker, refuted the suffrage arguments that have been printed on the bsck of fans and circulate. generally throughout the summer, at the luncheon given by the executive rommitte of the Nebraska Anti-Suffrage, society at the trnlverslty club at nonn yesterday. "Sompone ought to pay some iittle at tention lo the 'Votes for Women' fans that are being circulated by the suf fragists, even If. the triteness of the arguments , Is a bit monotonous.' sh? SB Id. "The fan is a brlcky orange color. It started out to be the suffrage yellow undoubtedly, but It has blushed at the presumption of the claims they printed on it.' "The suffragettes are very unbusiness like," said Miss Margaret Dorman. "They want us to double the time, en ergy and money which arc required to day to operate the machinery of our government. There Is not a single thin which we can obtain from the com bined votes of men and womai that we cannot get for half price, from the votes of our men.' "Women, as compared with men, have had relatively little experience In pri vate, trust or corporate business affairs. So long as this relative Inexperience of women in business continues, you will get more practical results in the business of governing yourselves by the votes of men than from the combined votes of your men and women." ' Women Do Not Have to Register for the School Election Tilnt many women hold the mistaken belief that they must register In order to cast ballots at the coming school board election Is indicated by numerous tele phone calls -for Information at the elec tion commissioner's office. Women need not reguster, the only requirements neces sary to enable them to vote being the following: Tax payers on property aasesxed In their own names or mothers of children of school age. Women voters are required to make oath that they are ellKlhle. Only Seventy-Eight Cars of Wheat for Monday's Market For a Monday, Omaha wheat receipts were light, there being but seventy-eight rare on the market.

Akin, the, latter leaving at once to attend the fun erttl.

Corn is Out of Way of the Frost Weather conditions during the last week, according to the Burlington's crop report, lias materially helped the Ne braska corn, which It l- asserted has reached the stgge where It would not be Injured by frost. According to this re port there is no portion of the state that yet has been visited by a killing frost. On a basis of a 100 per cent crop this estimate Is made on the condition of this year's corn crop on the several di visions of the road, they taking In about all the agricultural portions of the state: Omaha division. 97 per rent; Lincoln, M; Wymoro, fS; McCook, 88 per cent. Omaha Banks May Need No Government Funds to Move Crops H Is likely that the tXO.Oft) of crop- j moving money received by the Omaha banks from the federal treasury some weeks agr as the first Installment of . the tl.oon.nno apportioned as a loan during the crop-moving reason, is all that will be received this year. At the "time the flSO.OOO was sent to Omaha It was desig nated as the first installment, and it was said the rest would come in a few weeks, or at least later in the season. Hankers now say they have reason to believe that tffe rest will not come, as they have had an Intimation, thougn n.' direct statement, that the money can be used only by the federal government at the treasury, and that It Is not to be sent otit In these loans now. Omaha bankers say they will get along very well without the balance of this crop-moving money, although in some coses tt might have been a con-, venlence to have it.

Mrs. Mohler had been In Italy reversl months, but at no lime as Inside tho war sons. As to the war, Mrs. Mohler asseted that she knew but little concerning it, aside from what she bad seen In the papers and had hoard discussed. For several months slie had been In Milan and re turning to the states, sailed from Naples. Hhe made the trip ocrosa the ocean on an Knffllsh nwrchantmas, the Csnopia, traveling second class, being tmable to secure flrsi-cliiss accommodation. The Journey to Naples and across the oce.un was without incident. At night the vesK'l sailed with the lights put, but at no t'niH were any ships that hsd de signs on the Canopfa sighted. According to Mrs. Mohler Italy has np desire to get Into the general war In Ku- rope and will do alt In Ita power to main tain strict neutrality. Mrs. Mohler was two weeks on the ocean and the boot was crowded to Its capacity. Phe Is of the opinion that most of the Americans In Italy have gotten out, or at least those who have desired to do sp. At Milan she was comportably situated, but many of the Americans there experienced some inconvenience on account of not being able to socure funds. On their letters of credit thep could secure but tfiO per week. American paper money was not accepted, neither were checks, gold being the medium of exchange for board bills and articles bought at the stores.
