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.

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.

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 Back
from Stay in Italy
President Mohler of the Union Pacific
Is bck from Boston, where he went to
ncctaupany Mrs. Mohler home after her
trip' abroad. 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.
