U. S. NOTIFIED OF
LOCAL BAND DEAL
Omaha Musician' Association Takes
Up Matter with the Postmas
ter General
MUSIC JOURNAL TAKES IT UP
Omaha's public park band con
cert situation Is gaining: a national
scope. J. M. Finn, secretary of the
Omaha Musician's association, sent
Postmaster General Burleson a com
munication on the subject, and the
"International Musician," St Louis,
official Journal of the American Fed
eration of Musicians, devotes several
columns of the June number to this
subject.
In Ma letter to the postmaster general
Secretary Finn makes thl assertion:
"Drawing a profitable recompense from
the government enables the postofflce
employes to accept and play musical en
gagements for much les.i than the mu
sicians who do not enjoy a bonus from
the government."
Twice mm Many, Same frlee.
In its comments tiie "Internstlonsl Mu
sician" states: "The letter carriers' band
of Omaha secured tho contract for the
public park concerts, (then by and paid
for by the city. The city appropriates
$75 for each concert. Union musicians,
in accordance with union schedule, can
furnish twenty-four musicians for that
price. The postofflce band furnishes
forty-two postal employes, not musician,
for $75. The park commissions accepted
this bid."
Records at the city hall show that $75
per concert is the prevailing rate paid
for park concerts and that all bands, re
gardless of their unionism or nonunlon
Ism, are treated alike.
The particular fiyht of the musicians'
union Just row is against 'the postofflce
band, which has played several concerts
this season and which Is scheduled to
play two concerts in Fontenelle park
next Monday.
The park concert given this season
have been divided between four local
bands. The union players were offered
their share of the business, but refused
to play in the parks if nonunion bands
are engaged at any time during the season.
Declares Women's
Minds Poisoned by
Mothers' Teaching
CHICAGO, June $0. 'Wrong Ideals in
stilled into the minds of young women
by their mothers are more potent factors
in problems of vice than commerolallsed
immorality, according to Dr. Albert A.
Ogle of Indianapolis, Ind., who spoke
today before the Bureau of Sanitary Sci
ence in connection with the annual con
vention of the American Institute of
Homeopathy. rr. Ogle said:
"At the very beginning of married life
the foundation of the home and all future
happiness are seriously menaced by the
pernicious education of the young wives
who have been allowed to develop the
Idea that they must not become mothers
during the first year of their married
life.
"They marry, but they refuse to as
sume their responsibility to the state and
the nation Imposed by the marriage con
tract. Mothers talk; frenly of domeatla
responsibilities as onerous. They lsy
stress on the advantages and often on
the necessity for a match that will im
prove both the financial and social stand
ing. When speaking of possible children
they do so in a derogatory manner and
openly and repeatedly express the hope
that their daughters will never have any.
8urh women belong to every class of
society, within the portals of the church
ss well as without."

Nelson Uses Caution
and Loses His Money
Peter Nclnon. Newman Grove, came to
Omaha Tuesday and accompanied his
runk to a hotel. As the luggage wss
being unloaded at the hotel the clerk
offered to assist the expressman.
'Be careful there boys," cautioned
Peter, "there Is $S6 locked Inside of
that." The boys promised to be careful.
Later Peter went for a stroll and upon
returning to his room found that his
trunk had been 'broken open and the
money taken.
Looks Like No Limit
to Auto Development
"Apparently there ta no limit to the
motor car Industry's growth," says D,
M. Beat of the Molme-Knlght company.
"The development 'of the automobile in
the last few years has been so marvelous
that leading authorities claim that within
the next few decades 25.000,000 motor car
will be In use in the United States.
"These figures stagger the Imagination,
but statisticians maintain that conald
erably over 1,000,000 motor cars were
licensed during the last year and that
during the coming year at least 400.000
more care will be manufactured and sold.
At this rate of increase 25,000,000 does not
appear Improbable.
"With the industry In Ha present state
of development and expansion, there ia
enough money Invested in automobiles
in the United State to build four Panama
canals and if the expectation of the
manufacturers Is realized, at the end of
next season this investment will be In
creased enough to build two more canals.
"If the horsepower capacity of all the
motor car in use in the United States
was concentrated in one hug engine,
it could drive the machinery of every In
dustiial plant In the country with
enough surplus power to operate all the
electrical plants and propel all of the
battle ships of the United State navy
and there would still be an unused sur
plus of approximately (,000,009 horse
power of energy,"

pair of black eyes, a rauliflowered
ear and sundry bruises about his
body. Also his fortune is about (500

due to the efficiency of a bunch of
Omaha men whose present where
abouts the Omaha police are now
delving into.
n Complaint Yet Made.
Although the police are quietly investi
gating, the Nebraska City farmer boy is
even new Itiorant that he wna beaten
and robbed by swindlers, and not "de
feated'' by true sportsmen.
Allium Klane. son of a wealthy farmer
living outside of Nebraska City, la said
to be the victim, though he has mad
no complaint. He was registered at the
Her Grand hotel here, when he became
acquainted with a man named MrOrtffrn
or Grifton.
Being puglliatically Inclined, the farmer
boy's conversation naturally took that
trend. He became boastful and finally
declared he could whip any amateur of
his weight In thirty rounds.
Wager of Five Hundred.
McOrlffen wagered him $o00 that he
could produce an amateur fighter of the
same weight who could best the farmer
and In a short while all details were ar
ranged. By the simple expedient of stick
ing a coin with wax, on the under side
of the scale weight, both fighters ap
peared to be of the same else to an ounce,
although McGiiffen's man seemed a trifle
taller. This man went under the name
of "Snipes." and in reality he outweighed
Klane nearly forty pounds. Also he Is
a professional of some little note.
Give flood Posadlng. "
The money waa placed in the handa of
a taxi driver for ssfe keeping, and the
two fighters, with McOrlffen and a North
Blxtenth street saloon keeper repaired to
a secluded spot in Kaat Omaha early on
morning a week ago.
The drubbing the farmer boy got he will
long rrjyiember. Although really a good
fighter, the stolen forty pounds of his
adversary was too much of a handicap, I
and he was badly beaten up.
The story filtered into police head
quarters several days ago, and since, de
tectives have been making investigations.
