plaints are made mostly by jthose who
have 8 o'clock classes. Because of the
crowded cars the time schedule iff not

lateness. The students wish that
more cars were placed on that line.

CITY PLANNERS
TRACING! C. OF L.
Map of City Showing Food Dis
tributing Centers is Be
ing Prepared.
CIVIC LEAGUE IS HELPING
Where are the food-distributing
centers that serve Omaha's 200,000
people? Where are they with refer
ence to the bulk of the population?
How much duplication is there in
serving certain territories, and how
many sections of the city are there
where service is hard to get?
These are questions that are to be
answered by means of a comprehen
sive map soon to be prepared and to
be on exhibit in the court house De
cember 13 to 23, in connection with
other exhibits the City Planning board
is to have there at the time. George
T. Morton, chairman of the city
planning board, told of some things
this exhibit is to contain in a talk
before the directors of the Civic
league at the Commercial club rooms
at noon. I
That H. C. of L. '
The map of distributing centers is
expected to be of great interest in
connection with the live issue of the
high cost of living.
Everybody knows that from four to
six milk wagons of competing dairies
pass his door every morning. That
is duplication, and one of the items
that enters into high cost. Grocers'
wagons of a half dozen competing
stores cover the same territory and
duplicate. The City Planning board
docs not know whether it can do any
thing about all this or not, but it will
at least have a map that will show
where all these wagons start from.
Mr. Morton also told the Civic
league about the plans for widening
Twenty-fourth street and other work
planned by the board.
At the next meeting of the Civic
league directors the league will have
under discussion the various phases
of the high cost of living. Secretary
Stanley Rosewater will collect what
information he can in the meantime
on the subject, being glad to get sug
gestions by mail or orally from any
one who has a phase of the subject
that might be of interest.

Irene Daniels Will
She is Not Sister
Douglas county ofticials are deter'
mined to clear up the Aldridge-Dan-icls
marriage license case a case that
has been entered on the records as
one of the strangest in the history of
the state and resulting in legal com
plications which have set Omaha at
torneys' tongues a-wagging.
It all started over a mistake in
names, as far as officials can ascer
tain at this time. Alva A. Baldridge.
a Lincoln, Neb., salesman, came to
Omaha and took out a marriage li
cense with the avowed intention of
wedding Miss Arline Daniels, one of
the prettiest of the crop of maidens
at Decorah, la. Miss Daniels has a
twin sister by the name of Irene.
"Cupid" Stnbbendorf got the names
entered on the marriage license rec
ords as "Alva A. Aldridge and Irene
Daniels." The gftven names of the
twin sist 1 sound so much alike that
the mis'take went unnoticed at the
clerk of the county court's office and
at the parsonage of Rev. J. A. Max
well, who performed the marriage
Good Teeth Will
Lessen All Crime
Dr. A. 0. Hunt spoke 'on a free
dental dispensary, at the Commercial
club at noon. "All the dentists of
Omaha want is a chance and a place
to give away their services to the
children in the care of teeth," said
Dr. Hunt. He declared that care of
the teeth had a tendency to cut down
the number of epidemics, and Miss
Ruth Freeman of Chicago upheld him
in this in a brief talk. She declared
a big per cent of the vice in Chicago
and other large cities could be avoid
ed if the children had better care
of the teeth, as the brain was af
fected by bad teeth and careless
mouth hygiene.
Mogy Bernstein, who took "part in
the symposium, declared that while
he was probation officer in Omaha 50
per cent of the children that came
before the court were in need of
dental attention.

Washington, Dec. 9. The American
Indian, under improved health condi

cording to the annual report today of
Commissioner Sells of the Indian bu
reau. Unloaded Gun Goes Off
And One May Not Live
While examining several revolvers
with friends who were visiting at his
home, Fred Jeffrey, aged 26, 617 South
Eighteenth, was accidentally shot
through the abdomen when one of the
"unloaded" weapons was discharged.
The firearm ' was in the hands of
Thomas Jeffrey, a brother. i
Jeffrey was taken tp St Joseph's
hospital, and attending surgeons fear
that he will not live. The bullet per
forated his intestines in nine places,
according to the doctors.

ceremony. From a legal viewpoint
Mr. Aldridge married his intended
bride's twin sister, though in Fold
fact Miss Arline Daniels, his wife,
was married to him. The bridegroom
discovered the mistake and wrote to
local county officials Friday.
After consulting several attorneys
and members of the judiciary, Clyde
Sundblad, clerk of the county court,
has decided that Mr. Aldriiige. the
twin sisters and the officiating pastor
must appear at the court house and
aid in unraveling the freak case.
Miss Irene Daniels, who was married
in name to her twin sister's be
trothed, is at home in Decorah; Mr.
AldriJge and his bride, on the rec
ords here as his wife's twin sister,
are in Lincoln.
Jt may be necessary for the county
court to take some action; the pres
ent records possibly will be effaced
and the couple mavried over again.
The majority of attorneys at the
court house on the last day of the
week declared that the case is unique

Civic Improvers Discuss Plans
to Get New Burlington
Station.
TAXPAYERS LAY PLANS
Civic improvers met last evening
at the South High School building.
The proposition of obtaining a new
Burlington depot on the South Side
was the principal topic of the even
ing. President J. L. Duff presided.
"We must extend our operations to
the state legislature," Judge J. J.
Breen, prime organizer and leading
spokesman for the organization said.

"If we are to obtain a sub-branch
railroad station here we must bring
the matter immediately before the
public and introduce it in the form
of a bill at the next meeting of the
state legislature. The railway com
missioner will undoutedly be inter
ested, and will officially act on re
quest of the state body."
The need of a new depot was
commented on with vigor by Vin
cent Vasek, wall known local dry
goods merchant, who is a heavy tax
payer. Mr. Vasek spoke of the need
for a solid organization of taxpay
ers which would stand for improve
ments here.
President Duff and Mr. Breen re
ported that they had interviewed of
ficials of the' Burlington railroad in
quest of action of the proposed build

officials they said, were favorable to
the idea and although not promising
