THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1917. MANY HEW FACES III STATE HOUSE Officers and Employes at Their Desks Early in Morning, Quickly Getting to Work. ILL PLEASED WITH JOBS (Fran ft Staff Corresponding.) Lincoln, Jan. 5. (Special.) New state officers and employes, as a rule, were at their desks this morn ing, some of them very early, and ap pearing to enjoy the privilege, al though pay day is a long way off for some of them. In the executive offices, Governor Neville arrived at about the time a governor is supposed to be on duty and with an expression on his face which indicated he hoped he would like the job. In the front office was his private secretary, Lee Metcalfe. Anton Sagel is holding down the chief clerkship and Miss Anne Tracey of Omaha, the stenographer's job. In the office of Secretary of State Pool, all the nine regulars are hold ing over, but he has a staff of twenty three new people working to get the automobile business cleaned up, so that there will be no delays for any body. - New Faces Here. An office which shows quite a lot of new faces is that of the state su perintendent. W. H. Clcmmons has with him, John A. Woodward, A. H. Dixon, Cora A. Thompson and Alice Florer, as new assistants. The other places have not been changed and some of them may not be. The land commissioner's office shows some changes, Land Commis sioner Shumway having placed on the force, J. G.-Pinker, West Point; E. B. Zimmerman, Lincoln, and Gene vieve Christanson, in the positions of recorder, bookkeeper and stenograph er, respectively. At present Victor Wilson is the only new one in the office of the railway commission. Having been elected to the position of commis sioner, he will try to hold down the job, and he probably will make a pretty good stab at it. J. F. Webster, St. Paul, newspaper man, philanthropist and ball player, is the new state printer. He went at the ' work as soon as he arrived and hasn't pied anything yet. He pro poses to stick on the job when he isn't at the ball games next summer. New Food Commissioner. Otto Murschel, new food, drug and oil commissioner, appears to be per fectly at home. He was going over matters with former Commissioner Harman and says he proposes to keep the department up to its present high standard and raise it a little when ever opportunity offers. There is one new man on the job besides the com missioner himself, G. H. Nichols, who will be the new dairy inspector. - George G. Koster, the new game warden, is going it alone as far as nwe help is concerned for the present. He has retained Miss Anna Whelan as his stenographer." ...- Changes Among Judges, Thomas Healey, North Platte, and , James CcCleery,- Hastings, are the ' new inspectors under Fire Commis sioner Ridgell. Mr. Ridgell has re turned from the springs and is feel ing more like his old self than for some weeksr In the halls of justice there is a change, or tow. Judge Dean, one of the new justices, brings with him as reporter, L. B. Waters. Judge Corn ish has secured the services of Miss Wilson, stenographer, to outgoing Justice Fawcet.

CALL BILLY SUNDAY PLAGIARIST PRINCE Evangelist Is Charged With "Choosing" Verbatim Ma terial in Signed Article. FROM AN OBSCURE BOOK I In a letter to the Boston (Mass.) Post a writer signing himself "A Maiden Reader," accuses Rev. "Billy" Sunday of plagiarizing a message he sent to all Boston newspapers for publication the day before Christmas and entitlH "What Chrutmas Means to Me," from "F.tidorpha," a book published thirty years ago. The book, which deals with the life of one of the type Mr. Sunday con demns, was published by John Uri Lloyd of Cincinnati. Only 1 .400 cop ies were issued, for' private circula tion. Christmas Message. Mr. Sunday's Christmas message read : 1 "Crush all the colors of the rain bow into one hue, then magnify that by infinity and you would have less beauty than Christmas means to inc. "Lighten eiderdown one thousand fold and 'hen you would have less softening, soothing influences than Christmas means to me. "Abstract the perfume fron all the flowers in the world, then the fra grance would not equal what Christ mas means to me. "Gather all light cast by a troop of angels, then sprinkle the resultant heautv with star dust, mixed with diamonds, and that would not equal what Christmas means to nie. In chapter XC of Ktidorpha which spelled backwards is Aphrodite God dess of Love appears this passage: "Crush the colors of the rainbow into a single hue. possessed of the attributes of all the' others, and mul tiply that entity to infinity, and you have less richness than rested in any of the complex colors shown in the trimming of her raiment. Lighten the softness of eiderdown a thousand times and yet maintain its sense of substance and you have not conceived of the softness of the gaue that decked her simple flpwing garments. Troops of Angels. "Gather the shadows cast by a troop of radiant angels, .then sprin kle the resultant shade with star dust and color therewith a garment bright er than satin, softer than silk and more ethereal than life itself, and you have less beauty than reposed in the modest dress that enveloped her fig ure. "Abstract the perfume from the sweetest Oriental grasses and com bine with it the essential spirit of the wild rose, then add thereto the soul of ambergris and the quintessential extracts of the finest aromatics of the east and you have not approached the exquisite fragrance that pene trated my very being at her ap proach." Mr. Sunday declared tonight that he had not read the attack of "A Maiden Reader." He refused to dis cuss it. Much Buzzing at State House Over Clayburn'e, Resignation Lincoln. Jan. 5.
