4 A THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: OCTOBER 29, 1916. Nebraska ATTORNEY GENERAL RULES WHO MAY VOTE Answers W. T. Thompson a8 to Eight of Foreign Born, Not Fully Naturalised. ; RESURRECTS OLD FlNDINQ , Krom a Staff Corrrapondent.l ; Lincoln. Oct. 28. (Special.) A construction of Article 7, Section 1 o fthe state constitution relative to who will br entitled ot vote at the coming election has been asked by W. T." Thompson, chairman of the dry federation, of Attorney General Reed, who answers as follows: '- "Every male person of the age of 21 years or upward, belonging to eitheer of the following classes, who shall hav resided in the state six months, and in the county, precinct, or ward, for the term provided by law. shall be an elector. "First Citiiens of the , United St,te' , , . , . "Second Persons of foreign birth who shall have declared their inten tion to become citiiens conformably to the laws of the United States, on the subject of naturalization, at Jeast thirty dayt prior to an election," . "You inquire: " 'After the declaration of intention of an alien to become a citizen of the United States, evidenced by his first papers, hat become dormant and void under the federal statutes, does such declaration still qualify an alien as an elector of this stats under ourn constitution ?' "At the time the constitution of Ne braska was proposed for adoption, there were then residing within the state many foreign-born citizens, and a clear distinction was intended to be made by the framers of the consti tution between citizens of the state and those who desired to become citi iens, and they said, in as clear langu age ai possible, that any person should be an elector under the proposed con stitution if he had declared his inten tion to become a citizen, the differ ence in distinction being that not only citizens but those who intended to' become citizens, should be per mitted and allowed to vote.., "That part of the constitution has never been changed, and the federal government has nevef claimed the right to interfere with the power re erved to the state, by restricting any class from voting. While I might be pleased to hold otherwise, if the con stitution were different, 'yet; under tht constitution, it is not even a debata ble question. This department ad heres and tees no occasion to change or modify the opinion as expressed by Assistant Attorney General Edger ton, in the report and opinions of the attorney general for 1913-1914."

Lady Attestant, CLEVELAND ABBE DIES AT WASHINGTON Father of Weather Bureau Service Expires After ni nes of About a Year. MADE THE flEST FORECAST Wathington, Oct. 28. Prof. Cleve land Abbe, known at "the father of the weather bureau," died here today after an illness of a ear. The present-day system of daily weather forecasts, with which every portion of the United States, how ever remote, is now thoroughly famil iar, it the outgrowth of a weather prediction service which Cleveland Abbe established locally in Cincinnati, O., when he was the director of the observatory there in 1869. The death of thit famout meteorologist recalls some interesting details of this early history of weather forecasts. The ton of a New York merchant, and born December 3, 1838, Cleveland Abbe became an instructor in mathe matics and astronomy at the Uni versity of Michigan in 1860, and dur ing the civil war period he wat an aide at Cambridge, Mass., to Dr. B. A. Gould, then astronomer of the United States coast survey. The years 1865-66 he spent in Russia at the Imperial observatory as guest of the resident staff of observers there, and on his return to the United States he was chosen director of the Cin cinnati observatory, In beginning his astronomical work at Cincinnati, in May, 1868, Prof. Abbe expressed to the Chamber of Commerce of that city his willing ness to make daily predictions of the weather for the benefit of the citizens. Hit propotition wat accepted and the work actually begun in September, 1869, by the publication of a dally bulletin of weather, telegrams and probabilities. The tuccess of his scheme led some of his trends to introduce a res olution calling upon congress to es tablish a national bureau of storm warnings for the benefit of commerce. This bureau was established by joint resolution of February 4, 1870, and its conduct was entrusted to General A. J. Myer, then chief signal officer of the army. He adopted into his weather bureau all the' important features of Prof. Abbe's .work at Cin cinnati and, in January, 1871, invited him to come to Washington as hit scientific assistant. The regular tri-daily issue of "probabilities" began in February, 1871, and was kept up by Prof. Abbe until others could be trained for this service. These forecasts were pub lished throughout the country anon omously as official documents, and the cognomen of "Old Prob," which had been invented in Cincinnati, was soon widely applied to their author. From that time on the weather service extended yearly until the United States bureau came to rank first among such services in the world, and Prof. Abbe himself came to be known as one of the world's foremost meterologists. Even when past 70 years of age, Prof. Abbe continued in the govern ment weather service to edit the Monthly Weather Review and make other contributions to meteorological science. He was the recipient of a gold medal from the Royal Meteor ological society of England, member of the National Academy of Sciences and numerous foreign and American scientific bodies. MAKE GENERAL BREAK ROCK. Haitian Warriors More Valuable As Stone Crushers Than As Soldiers. When the late President Laconte of Haiti set about to reduce the size of hit army a few years ago, many of the generalt whom he mustered out of the service were put to break ing rock on, the street. At one time there were more officers than men in the Haitian army, according to apparently authentic statements. The army officers of Haiti were as fond of gold lace as a mountain girl .of bright colors- Small wonder, then, that the regalia of a field marshal was everywhere in evidence. Times have changed, however, and now the American marine in quiet khaki takes the place of the Haitian fire-eater and his resplendent costumes. - J In former times the pay of a Hai-" titn soldier was tmall at best noth ing at worst, and at all times insuffi cient to keep the warrior fed decently. The days of loading coffee on depart ing ships were great days in Haiti. They were busy days when the army got a square meal, thanks to the stevedore wages which the men were able to earn. Feeding the Haitian armiet in the days before the American "big brother" movement was not a diffi cult job. Garrison rations consisted of a sugar-cane stalk two or three feet long and whatever else the soldier could beg,- borrow or steal.

First, there is a dearth of cars this fall fitted for year-'round ser vice. And those are the coming types. There will not be halt enough. Second, in the Mitchell models the advance designs there is a very small production. And youll prefer these models. A 20-Fold Demand We suppose the demand for air season types has increased twenty fold in a year. And history shows that when a trend gains that momentum it soon dominates the field. So this is sure: A large percent age of buyers hereafter will de mand one car for all weathers and seasons. That demand is rooted in good sense, so it is bound to flourish. 1 . But it has grown so fast that finear makers this fall cannot half way meet it There will be an enormous shortage. So folks who seek a car of this sort should decide at once. ' .; Next-Year Models ' : The Mitchell luxury models now on exhibit are designs just . completed for the 1917 Shows. They were all designed under John W. Bate, the famous effi-, ciency expert And under his motto "Do everything m the best way that anybody knows." So our craftsmen first examined all the other fine models built All the latest European and Ameri can. No attractive feature any where has been overlooked. These new Mitchells, therefore, combine more appealing features than any other single car. You can prove that in five minutes. But these are advance models. This fall's production is extremely limited, and it is nearly sold. So if you want one of them we must know at once. Five New Designs We have a new-type Demount able Top which fits the Mitchell Touring Car. The windows and supports disappear when not wanted, as in the Springfield type. t This doesn't look like an added top. It doesn't overlap.

A superb Sedan with the windows up, a perfect Touring Car when the windows are out The door on the left opens at the front as it should, where the driver sits, while the door on the right opens from the tonneau. The Mitchell Cabriolet changes in like way from a Coupe to an open Roadster. In the Mitchell Limousine all windows drop. And so in the Mitchell Coupe. Thus all these five types render year-'round service. Many Extra Features In all Mitchell models you will find many extra features. They are paid for by factory savings, due to John W. Bate. His efficiency methods and this model plant give us enormousadvantage. Compared with the average car in this class, the Mitchell offers at least 20 per cent extra value. The Mitchell of today embodies . 700 improvements which John W. Bate has made. Most of them mean added strength and en durance. You will want the Mitchell when you know it So we urge you to see these luxury models while we can still supply them. MITCHELL MOTORS COMPANY. Inc. Racine, Wis, U. S. A. J. T. STEWART MOTOR CO.
