sult of their safe being blown a year
ago.
The Bruner company received a

its attorneys, filed a $100,000 libel
suit against the insurance company.

Our Mothers' Pension Law
How Is It Working Out?
Her U careful review made by one of The Bee' staff
men to give the taxpayer and public generally the infor
mation on which to form their own conclusion. It will
appear in three installment, of which this is the last.
Pari III.
Horn of the leaders In Omaha'
charitable work when aoked tbelr
opinion of the mother's pension and
Its operation are very (rank. Rev.
J. A. Tanroek, dean at Trinity ca
thedral, made the following com
ment: "There has been little or no
effect upon the charities of my
church because of the mothers' pen
sion fund. We are still obliged to do
considerable- along similar lines. I
would not stand in the way of any
food cause, but I tee chances for fa
voritism In the administration of
litis law, 1 don't understand why th
poBBosHor of a bank account forfeits
the mother's pension privilege, while
tbe one who owns a house can se
ed ve the favor. It reminds me of a
caso at the time of tbe tornado A
wrman who had never asked help
front the public in any way wanted
suNlstance In repairs to her borne,
which would amount to several hun
dred dollars. She had a few hundred
dollars In tbe bank, and for that rea
son her claim for aid waa rejected.
It was true that she had a little
r.ioney In the bank, but to repair
the house, which would take $900,
would require several hundred dol
lars more than she had In tho bank.
I think of another Instance. Thr wu
a womn who hd a hard tlma getting
slong. I helped to supply her with fuel.
Some ot the rest aha picked up on th
rallrosd trm'ka. Perhapa aha atole a lit
tle, too. Kventuatly thla woman whom
I had aided went to tha court house for
a mother's pension. 8he failed to stand
tha test. Wie had been reclvtn hlp
from Trinity chur"h, and a Thankiv-
ItH dinner, too. fo hee petition waa re
Irtted. Thera appear to ma to ha too

Hev. Hernard Slime, pator of ftt, Mary
Mr)lene ehurrh, at Nineteenth and
limine streets, rnudo the following atala-
ment:
"I cordially approve the mothers' pen
alon system. It is tn tine with old age
and other beneficiary peireiona, so com
mon in Kurnpa. It ukea a burden from
other organizations and puta It where
It belongs."
J. B. Carter, attendance officer In tha
school board, aald: "I have bad personal
etperlenre In several pension eases, and
can not apeak too highly of the law
and the way tt la operating, because ot
thla aid, at least twenty-five children
who otherwise would have bad to go to
work, have been able to continue thalr
studies at school."
nahbl Frederick Cohn aald: "I have
beard some objections to the ruling about
what woman aro allowed to do In the
way of work. It aeema that some con
sider the provision against a woman do
ing anything but odd Jobs la too dras
tic." Among the charitable organizations
looking after tha needs of the poor, to
supplement the aid from the mothers'
pension fund, Is the Jewish Oyirttnblo
society. Mr. Leldy says this society
looks well after It poor, rather empha
sising its work, as compared with the
aid rendered by other organizations. The
secretary of this society, Jacques tlleur,
mads the following observations about
the mothers' pension scheme:
"We are atlll obliged to do a great deal
for the poor, in spite of such aid as the
mothers' pension fund afford. Although
the total burden Is of course somewhat
lessened by thla law. Among our people
only about $ Is being rerelved from
this source. There I one family of six
children receiving HO per month; another
of three, IK, and so on. These sums
named are of course Insufficient to sup
port the family, without considerable
other aid and oftentlmea after tha wage-
earners In the family have done their
best."

Our New Type
Readers of The Bee who have ob
served the change in appearance need
hardly be reminded that it is due to
the use of new type with larger and
clearer face.
Our purpose, of course, is to make
the paper more easily readable, fol
lowing the tendency of all the great
metropolitan dailies.
The Bee is just completing a new
installation of Mergenthaler type
setting machinery, which gives us a
completely up-to-date plant and keeps
this paper in the very forefront of
modern mechanical equipment.
From expressions already heard we
are sure our readers will thoroughly
appreciate these improvements.
GERMANS IN D. S.
ADVISED TO BE GOOD
Subjects of Kaiser Here Instructed
to Obey Laws of the States in
Which They Reside.
ORDER SENT TO ALL CONSULS
Washington, May 18. Germany,
through Count von Bernstorff, has
instructed all German consul in the
United States to admonish German
citizens in their districts to scrupu
lously observe American laws. This
was done in an effort to end various
alleged violations of American neu
trality. The ambassador acted on instruc
tions from the Uerlin foreign office.
The artion was announced today in
this official statement from the Ger
man embassy:
"In consrquence of cases which
have occurred of lale, the German
ambassador has sent instructions to
all German consuls in the United
Slates to strongly impress upon Ger
man citizens living in their districts
that it is their duty scrupulously to
obey the laws of the state in which
they reside."
It was said at the German embassy
that the instructions were designed lo
prevent plots or lawlessness on the
part of the German citizens. The Ger
man government, it was said, looks
with great disfavor upon any such
conduct.
It was made clear that Berlin offi
cials want the United States and its
people to understand that they have
not countenanced any illegal affairs
with which German citizens or sym
pathizers 111 this country have been
connected.
Count von BernstorfT's instructions
were received last night and were
forwarded to German consuls imme
diately. Reading Stocks Make
