MichaelJ, Gillen,
; PolicemanDies
Michael J. Gillen. detective on the
South Side force since 1908, died this
morning at St. Joseph's hospital as
the result of an operation. He is sur
vived by his widow and seven small
children.
Gillen was a name to conjure with
among the rougher element of the
South Side. He had courage, resource
fulness and tact. Many times was he
complimented for his bravery. Chief
of Police Dunn considered him one of
the best officers on the force.
The Gillen home is at 5129 South
Thirty-ninth street, South Side.
Funeral arrangements are not com
plete. Treasurer Thinks
He is Pawnbroker
A woman who wanted to vote for
members of the school board heard
that one of the necessary qualifica
tions was the possession of taxable
property. She carried a valuable jewel
studded wrist watch, and she showed
it to a deputy county treasurer, taking
it from her wrist and shoving it
across the counter, without a word.
The deputy examined it closely for
a moment and then looked up.
"How much do you want on it,
lady?" he asked.

HAPPENINGS IN
THE JAGIC CITY
Nearly Six Thousand Votes
Oast in Eighteen South
Side Precincts.
ACTIVITY ON AMENDMENT
Nearly 6'QOO votes were st in he
eighteen precincts on the South Sid'
Tuesday. Early morning counts
showed that the biggest vote was be
ing registered on the wet and dry
amendment. Seven wards up to mid
night showed a majority for the wets
of an average of 3 to I.
The total count will not be in until
late this morning, and in some cases
not until this afternoon, according to
predictions of election clerks count
ing the ballots.
At the Douglas county No. 1
precinct clerks ceased counting at
11:30 o'clock. The wets had carried
by a half hundred majority, and the
clerks were apparently satisfied to
postpone activities until 8 o'clock this
morning. Clerks generally over the
city took plenty of time in counting
ballots, each adopting a different sys
tem. Despite the rain a tairly large
crowd gathered at the postoffice to
view the returns flashed on a screen
on the Odd Fellows building at
Twenty-fourth and M streets. The
Besse theater also flashed reports.
The news of the Hughes majority in
New York and Illinois, as renortrH
on the early ballot, was received with
much cheering.
wet forces made a great fight yes
terday. Hundreds of cars sped from
poll station to poll station with work
ers armed with affidavits to dlnnute
any challenge. It was the claim of
the wet managers that not a vote was
lost by reason of these challenges.
Three women, old and young,
manned each precinct in the city in
the interests of the citizen's ticket,
on the Board of Education. These
women were for the most part im
partially treated.
Keno Klub Elects.
Morris Olson was elected nrraMmi
of the Keno Klub last evening. The
result was made known following the
climax of a keen election, in fact, con
sidered tne keenest election in the
history of the club. Olson ia the all-
star pitcher of the Brandeis foot ball
team, and he is reckoned as the
bright billiard player in the city. He
made a record in foot ball and track
athletics while attending South High
allium.
Otto Hallgreen was elected social
secretary. Hallgreen onlv recentlv
returned from the border, where he
had been a sergeant in the Nebraska
State militia. His election insures a
good social program, as he is one of
the favorite entertainers among local
young men. Other officers elected
were: Martin Johnson, vice nrei.
dent; Russell Barclay, secretary, and
rranx nnaerson, treasurer.
The club celebrated its fourth v.i,

Fail to Blow Safe.
Expert safe blowers blundered a
couple of attempts at cracking the
Diers Printing company safe and
the big vault in the Conservative
Loan and Association buildine at
Twenty-fourth and O streets. Work
men who entered the print shop
found the front office in a high state
of disorder. Investigation fourfd the

off and a big hole cut through the
wall separating the Diers establish

association room.
The death of Mike Gillen, veteran
detective and soliceman of the South
Side, was reported at St. Joseph's
hospital at 6:15 o'clock yesterday.
Surrounded by his wife and seven
children, besides relatives and sev
eral local policemen the former as
sistant to Chief of Police Briggs of
South Omaha passed away. Immedi
ate death was due to an attack of
pneumonia, although he has been
slowly recovering from an operation
for sail stones when the late illness
set in.
Doctors gave up all hope of life
twelve hours after the operation last
Sunday morning. Sickness of six
months' duration played its part in
weakening the man's fast failing
strength, and he was unable to with
stand the strain of the siege he had
entered on. Gillen's one controlling
thought was for that of his seven
little ones, and physicians were
openly astounded at the remarkable
fight for life he made even against
such great odds.
The news of the death was re
ceived with sorrow on the South Side.
Few were there in the city who had
not a warm spot in their hearts for
Gillen, who was a friend oi every
one. Policemen are preparing t at
tend his funeral in as' large a body as
absence from the force will permit.
Funeral Director Bernard Larkin
will have charge of the services. An
