TAG DAY BRINGS
IN A GOODLY SUM
Forty-One Hundred Dollars
Realized by the Visiting
, ' Nurses.
WOMEN ABE BUSY ALL DAT
Tag day brought returns to the
Visiting Nurse association. When the
work was concluded last night and
the cash counted, it was found that
the sale of the' little red tags that
adorned the coats and gowns of .prac
tically 'all of the Omaha men and
women, as well as visitors in the city,
had brought $4,140.82. This was fully
up to expectations and all of the
workers were well satisfied were well
pleased with the results.
The members of the Visiting Nurse
association and the scores of women
who had been assisting them were
pretty tired when night came, as the
day had been strenuous. They went
on- duty at 8 o'clock Wednesday
morning and remained continuously
at their respective posts of duty until
6 o'clock in the evening, each taking
a few moments off for the noon
lunch. During all the hours of their
labors they worked as industriously
as if it had been for wages and no
man, or woman, was too high or too
low i nthe social scale to be rejected.
To these workers, all people looked
alike and none was allowed to escape
without being solicited to buy a tag.
. Two Heavy Contributor!.
The , two largest contributions
were $iuu trom the Nebraska As
sociation for the Study and Pre
vention of Tuberculosis, received by
Mrs. Victor Rosewater, and $50 which
josepn myden gave to Mrs. u. L.
Bradley. The $1,000 mark had been
reached by noon.-Ideal weather fav
ored tne tair taggers and helped the
cause along a good deal.
The first tag was sold by Mrs. Al
bert Xoe. Mrs. Ettinger an old lady of
87 years, was the purchaser.
Dr. C. W. Pollard refused to buy a
tag from any one else bnt sought out
Mrs. W. R. Adams, the "mother" of
the Visiting Nurse association, of
whom he bought a tag tor $11). -
Mrs. Barton Millard, the president,
was quite ill this morning, but in
sisted on coming down town to help.
in the work. '
Hen Best Buyers.
That women, proverbially tender
hearted, are the poorest givers, is the
consensus of opinion with most of the
taggers. "It's either that or they don't
have the money," said Mrs. A. L.
Blair. Less prosperous looking in
dividuals are more generous than the
well-dressed, well-groomed men on
the streets, they reported. ' .
, An, old, German, attired in overalls
and blue shirt, sleeves rolled up,
called out to Miss Gertrude Stout, be
fore he got off the street car, that he
wanted to buy a tag.
Several colored men had their
money ready in their hands before
they had been approached to buy a
tag and others walked hp to the tag
gers and asked to buy them.
Drinks and Lunch.
. C R. Sherman had coo drinks
served tor ill the taggers stationed in
front of his drug store. United States
bank officials arranged to have lunch
eon for the women who were counting
the money in the bank.
Gay badinage and repartee between
tagger and tagee kept the workers in
good humor all day.
Geraldine Johnson, one of the pret
tiest taggers on the street, sold a tag
to a man in an auto as he waited at
Sixteenth and Farnam for the traffic
officer's signal to go ahead.
"Won't you write your name on the
back of the tag?" pleaded the man
of the obdurate Miss Johnson. "Oh,
please," he begged and waited, this
time, disregarding the officer's signal
to go on.
A long line of machines was stalled
on Farnam while the evidently hard-
hit young man waited lor his answer,
until finally Officer Henderson walk
ed over.
Ordered to Move On.
"You'll have to move on. You are
blocking the traffic," said the big of
ficer in his most officious manner, to
the attractive little tagger and her
equally -fair companion, Miss Grace
Robertson. Then he turned to hide his
smile, for he had sensed the whole
situation. N
But the girls stayed and sold their
tags. They couldn't help it if they
were so good looking that.they block
ed the traffic!
Another traffic officer who bought
a tag from Mrs. Will H. Thomas ex
changed a similar red card with her,
only it was an autoist's warning card.
"Will you vote dry?" asked a man
who exchanged a dry propaganda
card with Miss Louise Bailey.
t "I've got 200 nickels in my pocket.
I'm going to buy a tag from every
good looking tagger who asks me to
buy one," said a man to Mrs. Jay
Katz. The same man regaled her with
the story of a man who was so mod
est about letting any one know of his
charitable contributions that when
ever he made out a check for charity,
he always signed some one else's
name to it.
Mrs. William Harris sold a tag for
2 cents. A man gave Miss Harriet
Walters one penny for a tag, walked
off about a half a block, then came
back and gave her a quarter.
Note of Appreciative Thanks.
Mrs. Barton Millard, president of
the association, sent this note to The
Bee last night:
"We wish to thank the people of
Omaha fo rtheir liberal response to
our appeal on our third annual tag
day.- The co-operation of city offi

Emergency Tax Bill Designed

Does Not Have Smooth
Sailing.
IT GOES TO CONFERENCE
Washington, Sept. 6. Prospects
for the adjourning of congress today
went glimmering when the house
and senate conferees began informal
discussions on the revenue bill. The
conferees found some obstacles which
it is hoped will be smoothed out to
morrow. .
The house meanwhile put in its
time hearing political speeches. The
senate, having nothing else to do,
took up the Owen corrupt practices
bill, but democratic lealers said it
had no chance of passage and would
be put aside whenever adjournment
coufd be secured.
Print Paper Section.
Representative Mann, republican
leader, declared the senate amend
ment taxing print paper above cer
tain prices would have a tendency to
increase the price and drive the in
dustry to Canada. He said, however,
that an 'investigation would doubt
less show no justification for rais
ing the price.
This bill, passed last night in the
senate by a vote of 42 to 16, with five
republicans voting for it, went to
conference today as soon as the
house had gone through the formal
ity of naming its conferees, several
of whom have been working on it
informally for the last few days. It
is believed their report will accept
most senate amendments, including
those adopted yesterday, directed
against .allied interference with
American trade.
Conference Strike Snags.
At the outset (he conferees en
counterer several obstacles which
make it improbable that final action
can be taken before tomorrow.
; House conferees insist on the tax
on refined copper and the original
munitions tax in place of the senate
substitutes.
Another obstacle is the senate's oer-
manent annual appropriation for a tar
iff commission.. - The . house -merely
authorized ' the appropriation after
m, but tne senate made it mandat
ory. .-,
Representative Fitzgerald, chair
man of the appropriation committee
seeking assurances that the permanent-appropriation
for future years be
dropped said today he. would not per

agreed to.
Handicaps on
The Automobile
Road to Lincoln
Automobilists to the state fair are
warned by bulletins in the headquar
of the Omaha Automobile club of
the washout of a bridge on the O-L-D
highway, north of Millard. The best
route now is to go to the corner 9.8
miles west of Sixteenth and Farnam
streets, turn south one mile on the
regular route and instead of continu
ing to Millard, turn west one mile and
then south three to the highway
again. This route runs west of Mil
lard, instead of through the village.
An even more dangerous sretch
of road is that on each side of Gretna,
for some distane where the roadbed
is excellent, but Sheriff Hutter of
Sarpy county has a speed trap, and
drivers tempted into speeding are
being fined in county court. So many
have been caught the last three days
that the directors of the state fair
have telephoned to the automobile
club, asking members to reason with
the Sarpy county officials and get
them to put Off their anti-speeding
campaign until after the fair.

Senator Owens' corrupt ' practices
bill, which would greatly curtail
campaign expenditures and impose
heavy penalties for violations of its
terms.
Seven republicans voted with the
democrats to take up the bill and
seven democrats voted against the
motion. There ' has been a lively
fight against the bill during which
there have been charges and re
criminations trom both sides. The
vote to take it up today does not
necessarily forecast delay in' adjourn

The senate took it up, having noth.

leaders insist' that they would never
let it reach one.
It was planned to adopt, a concur

reach an agreement. Such a resolu
tion would check any attempted fili
buster on the corrupt practices and
would end debate.
