fHE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: SEPTEMBER 3, 1916. B American Bar Association -Br CHABLBS . ELGCTTEK- The American Bar association has just closed its thirty-eighth annual session at Chicago, after a week of strenuous business. More than 1,000 delegate from everjr state and ter ritory and the colonies were In evi dence. Nebraska was represented by twenty-six delegates, including Su preme Court Judges Letton and Mor- .'. risey and Dean William G. Hastings , of the Nebraska Law school. . Ex-Senator Elihu Root of New York and former secretary of state- as .president of the association, opened ' the session. His address, "Public Service by the Bar," had a greater i significance as a public document than ; a message to lawyers only. Within its lines can be read the opinion of -this statesman of 'the after-effect of the war upon America in the world-wide competition which must follow. The keynote of his speech was, that Americans, after the war, in order to hold their place in the new adjust ment of the world competition, must increase their efficiency and conserve their powers. In the world's work Jteener competition in all economic activities of human endeavor will come. - The warring nations return ing to peaceful competition of produc tion and commerce will have a vastly - 'increased power to compete. And the necessity to repair the enormous waste and to supply the pressing de ' mands will be spurred by their train ing of hardship and sacrifice. There must be a change of the in dividual attitude toward the govern ment of trying to get something out of the country and in trying to shirk the responsibility to serve it. Our minds have been filled with the as sertion of our rights and we have thought too little of our duty. Na tional strength requires the spirit of solidarity among the people of the nation. Sectional or class misunder standing and hatred or dislike are ele ments of vital weakness. To be strong a nation'" citizenship must be a title . to friendship and kindly interest ' among all her citizens, where the ' people will be one for all and all for .. .l . i ; . -j i . . u One. inc Iglgnia "U fjlivucgcs, mc property and liberty and life of every " American, whether he be at home or in Mexico or in the far east, on land or sea, are our concern ana tne con ' cern of each of us. The test of efficiency as applied to .i-- i . i : ,L ,1,., there is no country in the world in which, the doing of justice is bur dened by such heavy overhead charges. The delays of litigation, the badly adjusted machinery of adminis tration and the technicality of proced ure cause enormous waste 1 he product is disproportionate to the plant and tti wnrltntr fnrr Th rfla with which' admission to the bar is secured in many jurisdictions has crowded the par wi(n more lawycia Mian aic nccca :tsw it An th-hiieinan Tf til law " 'ira-V f,ia!naa ' ur r rnnrltirtf1 lilr ' the business of any great industrial ' ficiency at least cost, a considerable . percentage of the 114,000 practicing lawyers would be discharged. At the closing session. Senator ' George ' Sutherland of Utah was elected oresident of the association; and Saratoga, N. Y.. was the general . preference tor tnemeeting tor i The Nebraska officers elected are Frank M. Hall of Lincoln, vice presi ' dent for Nebraska; Matthew A. Hall of Omaha,, member :. of the general committee; Charles S.. Elgutter .and William C. Fraser of Omaha, Judge Ernest B. Perry of Cambridge - and Judge William E. Stewart of Lincoln, members of the local council. . v Nebraska' lawyers have been intir ' mately identified with Jhe American Bar association. . The relationship as sumed prominence when James E. , Woolworth of Omaha was elected its nineteenth president in 1896, and the .fellowship was welded all the strong- er with the succession of Charles F. ', Manderson, also of Omaha, as- its .. twenty-second president. Mention . also must be made -of Frederick W. Lehmann, president of .the associa tion in 1908, although credited to St. Louis, was reared in Nebraska City, i where he first hung out his shingle. It is not recorded that any. other state, with the possible 'exception of . New York, drafted from its distin guished lawyers three presidents for this venerable organization. And it was on the cards of the association '.o nave scieccea anotner umana law yer for1 its president, the late lament ed Ralph Breckenridge, had his promising life not been cut short by accident three years ago. One need only run over the pro grams of the annual meetings of the American Bar association to find how prominently Nebraska lawyers have figured in its proceedings. A session of the association would indeed be a dull place if it did not include one of the masterful orations of Henry D. Estabrook, or a scholarly address from Roscoe Pound, now professor at the Harvard LXw school. The an nual dinners of the association have had on the toast cards William F. j Gurley, of course, from Omaha, and that wit, the Mark 1 wain ot Nebras ka, who never fails to set the table in a roar, Jphn 'F. Dryden of Kearney. In the more technical work of the association which has for its objec: the advancement of the science of jurisprudence, the promotion of the administration, of justice and the se curing of ' uniformity of legislation throughout the United States, appear many Nebraska names. Kaiph Breck enridge for many years was chairman of the committee on insurance; Wil- D. 'McHugh and Matthew A. Hall have served as members ot the gen eral council for Nebraska; J. A. C. Kennedy, John J. Sullivan, John L. Webster, William J. Hastings, dean of the law school of the University of Nebraska; Frank Irvine, some time commissioner of the Nebraska su- preme court, later dean of the law school of Cornell university, and now one of the public service commission ers of New York; Henry H. Wilson of Lincoln and others are serving, or have served, the association on many important committees. More than 100 members of the Nebraska bar. representing at least 10 per cent of the lawyers of the state, are enrolled in its membership. In its nearly forty years of exist ence the association has corrected many abuses. To begin with it has been instrumental in raising the stan dard of legal education and the re quirements for admission to the prac tice, thereby insuring to the public men trained in their profession with the same care and fidelity as the phy sician of the first rank . The associa tion has adopted a code of ethics of purging the, profession of unworthy members. It has recommended stan dards of conduct for judges to win the respect of the people in the integrity, impartiality and ability of Mie judi ciary. In and out of season the asso ciation has labored to simplify the administration of law in courts and to speed up its procedure, advocated by such authority as ex-President Taft and Elihu Root. ' Who could expect less when such men as Woodrow Wil son and Charles E. Hughes are en rolled as members? One of its most beneficial efforts has' been directed to secure uniform state laws in such vi tal matters as marriage and divorce, workmen's compensation laws, bills and notes, sales, land registration acts, warehouse receipts and such other laws of our forty-eight separate states which affect interstate interests or the rights and remedies of citi zens in their family and property re lations. . To jcorrect such a mockery on justice as a marriage after di vorce is valid in Nevada, but invalid in New York, with all the attending legal confusion which may arise from the legitimacy of children, the right of heirship, the devolution of proper ty in such a case, falls within the province, of the American Bar asso ciation; -: . '-'. "f ... To enfertain the American Bar as sociation in annual convention, rep resenting a membership v of lu.uuu, would do honor to any city. With all the prestige of Nebraska lawyers it has not yet been the good fortune of Omaha to be placed on the list. It is not improbable, however, that Omaha will be selected its conven tion city in 1918, for the policy of the association is to alternate its sessions annually between the east and west. The association goes east again in 1917. Your visiting lawyer is a man of discretion and good taste; he requires the best there is tor both his physi cal and intellectual well-being. And when he attends the annual sessions of his national society he seeks both recreation and pleasure, for all work and no golf makes him indeed a dull fellow.' With good grace the Amer ican Bar association may be Invited to meet in Omaha in 1918.

Talented Organist Now Playing at the Muse Edward Horton, a talented organ ist, is now playing at the Muse thea ter. Mr. Horton has just finished an engagement of more than a year at the Casino- theater in Des Moines, where he attracted the comment of the public and the press. Previous to his Des Moines engagement he played in St. Paul's and Denver's best theaters, Omaha people who beard Mr. Horton at the Friday and Saturday performances at the Muse are irenernua In hJr nnU, I,;. ability to "play the pictures."

Edward E. Rose, the author, has made a feature of the comedy in the characters of Bridget Malley and Patrick Shea, sep arated by some perverse whim of life, but reunited through the kindness of Father Kelly. Edward E. 'Rose is the author of "The Little Girl that God Forgot," a new melodrama which will have its first local presentation at the Boyd theater for four days commencing next Sunday matinee, with matinee Wednesday. The story of "The Lit tle Girl that God Forgot" is not sac rilegious, but a clean story with a moral lesson told in the best vein of the most prolific writers of "best sell ers" in play form. Three girls who defy the laws of gravitation are the feature of the bill opening at .the Empress today for the first four days of the week. "The Aeroplane Girls" is the name of the offering and they undertake feats that range from acrobatic to contortion, their only support being the bars of the (lying trapeze attached to a re volving machine. The largest per forming bear in the world, known as Sullivan's bear, appears on the same bill. His training ranges from riding an automobile to dressing like a reg ular boulevard dude. John A. West and company present a comedy, sing ing and talking sketch, and Manning and Lee a real classy novelty in vaudeville.. . . ' ' Dave Ma'rion's musical revue, "The World of Frolics," is the attraction at the popular Gayety theater until next Friday night, with daily ' matinee. Coming as it does, direct from an engagement at the Columbia theater, Chicago, where it was played 154 times to more than 150,000 paid ad missions, in its all-summer run, "The World of Frolics" brings to burlesque a record for pleased audience that has never been equalled in the history of that form of entertainment. Tomor row there will be a grand Labor day matinee at 3 o'clock. Today's matinee starts at the same time. FOUR DAYS-Stirting TODAY Borglum Piano School 2661 Douglas Stmt. Autuit M.

Best and Latest Photo-plays tie of offered begins HILE the calendar suggests that this is the time for opening the winter-season of activity at the Omaha theaters,' the schedule in 1 sight shows about as lit- allurement as any ever here. Today the Boyd with an offering of melo drama at DODUlar nrices; tne Ur- pheum and Gayety are already in line, and next Sunday the Brandeis will present a film play, and a week later the Krug starts a new stock company on a forty-week journey. Nowhere does anything of real inter est or merit appear. Some worth while attractions are tentatively prom ised for later in the season, but noth ing definite.' This may be an echo of the situation in New York, where the new season began a week ago, but so far, with only revivals of last season's farces and a couple of new comedies on old lines absolutely nothing of real consequence; There the producers are promising, that something may be done later in the season, but all seem to be under the influence of the bugaboo of the movies and the approaching election. It is a bad time, the managers argue, to undertake any pretentious produc tion, for the people are so excited over politics they will pay no attention to the theater. This condition prevails each four years, so those who expect to get any pleasure at the play may as well make up their minds to wait for at least two months. What will happen then not even the New York moguls can tell. ' It was bruited about New York last week that the Shuberts were trying to lure E. H. Sothern back to the stage, promising him a most tempting return for twenty-six weeks ot tour ing in "If I Were King." Mr. Sothern has not given a definite answer, and It may be he will recall his "farewell," and take one more trip around the cities in which he has been more popular than he ever was in New York. The further gossip of Gotham Is that Willie Collier, Robert Edeson and several other actors are to be brought back from the photo studios and given an opportunity once more to play in honest-to-goodness plays, where flesh and blood is presented to the public, and not shadow But this is not verified, and may be only a bit of press agent's chatter One thing against its likelihood is that neither of the persons mentioned is devoid of ability, each having proved capacity and understanding as an actor, thereby eliminating themselves from the general scheme of the Broad way producer, who only seeks expe rience when he is employing such stars as Al Jolson and Frank Tinney. One item of interest to those-who still take the theater seriously and there are a few such is contained in a letter received during the week from Dr. Charles William Wallace. He says he has engaged himself to de liver a series of lectures in the United States this winter on his Shakes pearean research work, beginning in November. The Omaha section of the Drama league is interested to the ex tent that an effort will likely be made to secure Dr. Wallace for an evening here, The more definite announce ment will be made later. . . Miss Tina Leone, who is to be lead ing woman at the Krug when it opens, will, according to the press agent, give readings from her own writings at noon each day at some factory, The press agent goes on with the statement that "Miss Leone seeks rest and health, hence her com ing to Omaha." As she will only be Municipal Swimming Pools v Are to Close for Season The swimming nools at Riverview and Spring Lake parks will be closed far the season tonight, at the close of the day's patronage. Municipal beach at Carter lake will be open on Labor day and that will be the last of the season. Parents Appeal to Police To Locate Missing Children Mrs. Bessie Beigh, 2120 Harney street, is trying fo locate her daugh ter, Lottie Lancaster, 18 years old, who lett home August 31, L, U asked to play ,seven nights and-four matinees each week, besides attend ing a daily rehearsal, one might be pardoned for asking what Miss Leone Would do if she took a notion to get busy. .... . ... ' " ' - The Krug opens Saturday evening, September 16. The opening play- will be Augustus Thomas' "Arizona.1 Wil liam's Select players will be equal in every phase to a masterful presenta tion, says Manager '6111' Cole.. The regular announcement will be made of the opening of the box office,' and until then no seats will be laid away. .. . ' : Hawaiian, Egyptian, Greek and East Indian dances will be the head line feature of this week's bill at the Orpheum theater, presented by Miss Evan Burrows Fontaine. Her produc tion is one of the most lavish ever offered in vaudeville. Kenneth Har lan, who will be remembered as an associate of Gertrude Hoffman, is one of the members of her company. "An Innocent Bystander", is Homer Miles' latest sketch, in which he is supported by Helen Ray, In the pre sentation of his latest sketch he has a company of five people. Leipzig, card manipulator, wears a handsome medal presented to him by a society of Eng lish magicians. Edward Miller and Helene Vincent,' vocalists, present a musical comedy sketch called "In the Cool of the Evening," "The Girl In the Moon" is a spectacular singing nov elty with a mystical and charming finish. A dainty maid sails out over the audience, sitting on a new moon. She sings as she goes and drops pretty blossoms. A musical act Is offered by Harry Stettner, 'cellist, and Edna Bentz, pianist. Equilibrists and foot jugglers are the three Kitaro brothers. The Orpheum Travel weekly is to show Cairo, Egypt; the Gulf of Ton quin, Indo-China, and lovely Catsol mia, Spain. The Orpheum announces' for the week of September 10 Melville Ellis and Miss Irene Bordon! as the headline attraction. Mr. Ellis has distinguished himself as an American piano virtuoso and Miss Bordoni is a French chanteuse and Paris favorite. "Honor Thy Children," a playlet by Samuel and Clara Llpman, which has been meeting with success, comes to the Orpheum as a special feature at traction of the bill for the week of September 10. - I . , . Accompanied by a full symphony orchestra and a chorus of California Mission singers, "Ramona," W. H. Clune's cinema-operatic production of Helen Hunt Jackson's famous novel of the old California missions and the Mission Indians will be seen for the first time in Omaha beginning Sun day, September 10, at the Brandeis theater tor a limited engagement, with matinee every day. "Ramona" was produced In Los Angeles early last spring and for ten weeks it packed the largest theater in the southwestern California city, which lies 'in the very heart of the "Ramona" country, It was then tak en to New York, where it captivated a theatrical clientele) supposed to be impervious to anything not rife with sensationalism, Chicago was the next city to welcome "Ramona" and in the dead of summer with the terrific heat wave in full blast, the California maiden drew hosts of playgoers into the Auditorium, Several other cities of California and the east have wit nessed "Ramona" and in the five months of its career the play is esti mated to have drawn 2,000,000 specta tors. Everybody Is familiar with the gen eral outlines of the story, "Ramona." Haynsr ef Shenandoah, la., has asked the Omaha police to try and locate his son, Lewis C. Haynes, jr. Mrs. J. Cartney, 1721 Cuming street, Is trying to locate Anna Hoehn, 18 years old, who left home last Wednesday, Omaha Makes Good Health Record for Month of August Omaha's health record for' August was something to which the city mav point with pride. The following con tagious and infectious diseases were reported: Scarlet fever, 6: measles, 1; mumps, 1; dyphthcria, 6 typhoid fever, 2; smallpox, 5; chickenpox, 2; tuberculosis, 11. ,: : i The publishers of Mrs. Jackson's nov el announce that 3,800,000 copies have been sold. In filming "Ramona" Mr. Chine followed the story much more closely than is usual with makers of stage dramas or photoplays. He is credited with having caught admira bly the spirit of the romance and of California and consequently those that already love the atory will have their delight enhanced. Those who have not read "Ramona" can follow the story equally well, for Mr. Clune has made the tale complete. .. . "My Mother's Rosary" comes td the Boyd today matinee, for four days with daily matineesl The story is a gripping one and shows evil results in a man who has lost faith, who lives on the physical side of life and who cher ishes thoughts of hatred and revenge.
