NO PHONE CALLS
FORJ'DANIEL
Operators and Officials of Ex
change Heard of None on
- Fatal Night.
STATE . WITNESSES TALK
St. Joseph, Mo., Dec 2. Presenta
tion of testimony in the trial of Pros
ecutor Oscar D. McDaniel, who is
charged with having murdered his
wife, ncared its end" in the criminal
court yesterday when the state, iri
its rebuttal, placed twenty-one wit
nesses upon the stand. Attorneys for
both sides said tonight that one more
day would "tbmplcte the introduction
of evidence.
Ihe statu devoted most of its. ef
forts today to an attempt to show
that McDaniel did not receive a tele
phone call about 11:15 o'clock the
night of the murder, as he related
on the-witness stand, which drew him
from Ins home. B. L. Brown, divi
sion traffic superintendent: Misc
Grace- Hover, chief operator: Miss
Emma Maier, night chief operator:
Miss urace timer, night miotrnation
operator, and four night operators of
the -local telephone company were
placed on the stand and testified that
so far as they remembered no isuch
call was made.
i 'No Written Record.
Brown and Miss Boyer both said
their testimony was the result of in
vestigations, while' the others declare
they were at work the night of the
murder and one of them should have
received such a call.
It Iwas explained by each of the
witnesses that many calls after, 11
o'clock at night are diverted to the
information operators so' that wrong
calls will not awaken patrons. The
defense, in an apparent effort to
break down the declarations of the
witnesses, brought out that no writ
ten records of the calls were made
and that the statements "were based
on memory."
Miss Miller sain that all calls di
verted from -the regular routine had
gone to her that night and she was
asked by Attorney General John T.
barker, did you handle any calls to
McDaniel home between 11 and
12 o'clock the night of July 14, when
Mrs. McDaniel. was murdered?'' '
Didn't 'Handle Any.
"1 did not," she answered.
The testimony -of Mr. McDaniel
was that He returned home about 11
m.. after having gone to a lodge
meeting and investigated two alleged
road houses. He awakened his wife,
he said, but about 11:15 o'clock re
ceived a telephone call asking him to
go to a certain saloon to get his
brother.! i-Lj letr immediately, dis
covered that the call was a fake, ac
cording to the testimony, and re
turned near .midnight to engage in a
revolver duel and to findthat his wife
had been attacked and beaten.
Miss Boyer testified, under cross
examination, that -a call had come to
the telephone V office about 10:30
o'clock that nignt, asking the names
and numbers of saloons in a certain
district. The saloon from which Mc
Daniel said tho fake call purported
to have come was in that district, at
torneys pointed out. Miss Boyer
said she did not know where the call
had originated. , '
, I rv; U ...... C
During the day the state Jftight
to break dowti the testimony of the
ttetense that Mrs. , Delia Leslie, a
neighbor of McDaniel, had screamed
while in a swing -before 11 o'clock otr
the night ot the murder, five neigh
bors of Mrs. Leslie said they remem
bered no screams at the time de
scribed. The cross ,- examination
brought out that noncof the five had
heard any scream or cat, cries .that
night, although two said they were
close neighbors of McDaniel. ,

THE OMAHA
SCHOOL BOYS DECIDE
TO BE RM HUNTERS
Make Up Three- Squads and
Move Out of Town, Look
ing for Game.
ONE SKUNK - LAID LOW
The school kiddies, comprising
Scouts, cadets and others, had the
time of their lives yesterday while
hunting in the woods. They forgot
all about school and books and for a
day enjoyed themselves.
The hunters, three hands of them,
took off their stiff collars and wore
their hunting outfits, consisting of
old clcithes. Boy Scout uniforms, In
dian clothes, and in some cases, high
school uniforms.
At 8 o'clock in the morning the
young soldiers, warriors and tramps
ct- out tor the big hunt, carrying
with them a full supply of bread
and (ruit, but not any meat. The lat
ter was to be hunted for.
The band that hunted along the
Papio used bows aiid arrows. As
near as could be learned the weapons
were to be used in' hunting rabbits.
The band that camped along the
Missouri river, north of Florence,
carrietl regular B-B and pop guns.
They were after high soaring fowls.
The third band, comprised mostly
of little hunters, carried only sticks.
Their aim was to capture anything
that came their way.
Run Down Three Rabbits.
, The I'apio band was the most suc
cessful. As a result of their long
tramp, and because of the expert
hunter, James Atkisson, the members
succeeded in running down and cap
turing three rabbits. Theyt built hjuge
tires and got the earth real hot. Then
they buried the rabbits, skin and all,
in mie hot earth. When a due amount
of 'time had passed they uncovered
their prizes and dinner. Then tljey
feasted, after which several hunting'
stories were told.
The members of the Missouri band
was not successful in getting what
they went after, hut had luck other
wise. As they lay watching fox birds
a couple of stray chickens wandered
their way. They hated to do it, but
real hunger induced them to kill the
chickens.
The real disappointed ones were
the hunters of the third band. Being
young, they could not discriminate
game by their sense of smell. As they
marched along . they came upon a
hairy looking animal something like
a squirrel: They became happy and
rejoiced when they thought of the
time of their announcing their suc
cess. , They all touched it and petted
it, but it didn't move, so they hit it
and called it dead,
- , Odor Precedes Them,
They ranjiome to tell One of the
mammas ortheir capture. But mam
ma knew they were home when a
block away. Their hunting suits had
to-be buried and the boys given baths.
Now they assert that next time they
go a-hunting they will at least know
a-skunkV( they see or smell one.
Even though they were not all suc
cessful they all say that they had the
time of their Uvea. They join in say
ing, "Gee, we wish we didn't have
to go to school at all. Wouldn't it
be just fine to live out in the woods
and hunt all the time. It's so much
fun Jo hunt rabbits and other things."
Central Labor Union
- Hunting for Printer
Among other things that the Cen
tral Labor union discussed last night
was the phenomenon of a labeless
Placard announcing that the Central
abor union had declared the Krug
theatre fair. The Central body
doesn't deny that, it lias so declared,
but is anxious to find out where the
non-union placard comes in. ''Maybe
the management is neutral," put in a
facetious attendant.
The high cost of living was the
principal subject under discussion and
the Central union is going to wage
real warfare against the exorbitant
price of necessities. Witli this idea
in view they endorsed the establish-
jiient ot a municipal market and will
so inform the citv commission. A

New ' York, Dec. i, Because
American speech has no uniform

ferior to that of the English peo
ple, in the opinion of Prof. Fred
erick N. Scott of the University
of Michigan, who spoke at, the
annual convention here of the Na

English today. He insisted that
"dawg" is just aa good a pro
nunciation as edog." Uniformity
is not important, he declared, but

Death of Jesus .
From Broken Heart,
Not His Wounds
"Jesus died not from the wounds
of the Cross, but of a broken heart,"
said Dr. Henry C. Mabie of Boston,
speaking before a large gathering of
ministers and friends . at the First
Congregational church last evening.
He took as his subject the Cross of
Christ." "He gave up'HIs own life,"
he continued, "it was not taken from
Him. i
Comparing the resurrection " of
Lazarus and Christ, he said: "Christ's
death was unique, His resurrection
was more than the resurrection of
Lazarus. For Lazarus died again.
while Christ's was the resurrection of
One who lived thence forward for
ever." The resurrection of Christ," he
said, "is a conspicuous part of the
atonement for if Jesus had not risen
He would never have had a follower.
The speaker bitterly attacked what
he termed world philosophy. "Peo
ple should forget the world philo
sophy," he said, or, "they will forget
all about fjod." He urged parents to
teach their children of the life of
Christ and for what He stands. His
entire talk was forcefully brought out
by frequent analogies to the Bible.

for Woman's Suffrage, But
Talks in Favor of It,
WELCOMED INTO THE F0LD
i ,
Lassoed," thrown slid publicly
branded as a suffragist. Such is the
fate of Mayor Dahlman. heralded as
the "cowboy mayor.", Following The
Bee's ''exclusive announcement that
Mayor Jim had changed his miiuLgn
the votes-for-womcii proposition,
members of the Equal Franchise so
ciety decided that he and no other
should introduce Mrs. Nellie Mc
Clung, 'noted Canadian suffragist, at
her talk in the courthouse Friday aft
ernoon. M
"I as just a little suspicious when
Mrs. E. S. Rood telephoned to ask
me to siH'ak at this meeting," the
mayor confessed, "but I explained I
was just a recruit and couldn't be ex
pected to make much of a suffrage
talk."- .
Mayor Dahlman Laid the women he
had been opposed to woman suffrage
until a few weeks ago. "When I saw
what an intelligent vote women cast
on election day in the time of a great
crisis I dftcided if there was anything
I could do to help their cause in the
future they might always count on
mc," said he, in explanation of his
change of heart.
Urged to Attend Meetings.
Mrs. y. C. Sumney impressed on
the mayor the necessity for him to at
tend ail suffrage meetings. "Filling
up chairs to make a crowd is the first
requirement for a good suffragist,"
she laughingly remarked.
, Mayor Dahlman is the first public
official to announce a change of stand
since the last suffrage campaign.
Mr.s. McCIung welcomed the mayor
into suffrage ranks. "But we don't
wish to make converts only by an
appeal to sentiment. We want to
show men we can make good," she
said., "It's shell a splendid thing for
Mayor Dahlman to change his
mind."
More nonsense has been uttered on
women voting than oh any other sub
ject, according to Mrs. McCIung. "In
reality, voting is a commonplace,
every day, dipifiified thing to do.
Women will not become masculine
in their ways and just as many bridal
veils )and christening robes will be
worn when all women vote as now,"
she said.
Mrs. McCIung and-, her daughter,
Florence, left this morning for Min
neapolis. -
