"Whar A iu Uat UookaT"
From the haven of a backyard at Twenty-fifth
and O streets, where she bad been
nourished, a glib' goose, the property of
Mr. and Mrs. Mose Washington, colored,
wandered by the South Omaha poUca sta
tion yesterday afternoon. Two men, both
servants of the city, one a copper, James
aiicahan. and the other a fireman, 'Tex"
Regan, saws the waddling fowl. There
was no brand on it, no string tied to It,
do address attached to It. Followed a
scuffle between the fireman and the
policeman, a wild run for the goose, a
flutter of wings, a choking squawk and
tlia fireman had the goose. The police
man returned to the police' station to
advise with Mr. and Mrs. Washington,
who, having missed the particular glory
of their barnyard, had come to seek the
aid of the polio. It appears that the
gate to the Washington yard was left
ajar. A dog chased tha goose. The goose
In a moment of Inadvertence walked past
tha police station. The question Is who
has tha goose. Tha goose waa a Christ
mas present to tha Washlngtons from a
daughter in Omaha.
Wester Iowa la Clear.
All western Iowa la released from quar

WAPHIMITON. 1X-. it . restrtonemrnt
of action on the Immigration bill pending
in the senate, until after the Christmas
holidays, was made virtually certain to
day when Senator James Hamilton Iwls
of Illinois, after a conTerenrv with Presi

offer an amendment to strike from the
measure tha proposed literary test for
aliens.
As soon as Pen a tor Twts hnd Made his
announcement, champions of Ci bill
sought to have further discussion of the
bill delayed until after the holidays, i
Parliamentary tangles ere encountered. I

of South Carolina, the measure wo tem

several democratic senators tonight, la In
doubt as a result of President Wilson'
opposition to the literacy test. Iu th
opinion of Its sponsors, striking out of thii
provision would mean defeat of the Mil
because no substtute method of restric
