and fifty-nine cases were handled by
police surgeons during March. The
monthly report of the surgeons enu
merates the cases handled as follows:
Two murders, eleven taken to the
morgue, four attempted suicides, one
HUicide. twenty-three automobile acci
dents, thirty-four assaults, nine street
oar accidents and seventy-nine miscel
laneous accidents.
Robbed In an Alley Adolph Ros
acker of Traynor, la., visiting in
Omaha, decided Friday night that he
would like to "wet his whistle." When
a couple of white men invited him to
retire to an alley in the rear of Twelfth
and Douglas streets to take a nip he
willingly accepted. A couple of min
utes later he was shy $10 In cash and
a gold watch, of which the two stran
gers strongarmed and robbed him as
soon as they reached the alley.
Fights the Police Crazed with the
Illusion that he was destined to be the
emancipator of the black race, Oeorge
Washington, 2630 Patrick avenue, put
up a lusty battle to prevent police
from locking him up In a cell at cen
tral station. Washington cut his wrists
severely trying to jerk handcuffs off
and tried to light oft the officers who
were locking him up. He declared In
his delirium that he was the leader
of the black race, who was going to
trample down the oppression of the
whites.
Grmnell Urges That the
Farmers Put Out Big Crop
J. B. Grinnell, secretary of the Ne
braska Farm congress, while in
Omaha, suggested that the farmers
should use every effort to raise the
largest possible crop in view of the
demands tor tood stuns that
war will bring on.
"An army must be fed," said Sec
retary Grinnell," and in order that
they may be fed the greatest possible
crops must be raised. I know a num
ber ot tarmer boys, not yet of age,
who are planning to run away from
home and join the army. If those
boys only knew it, they could do just
as much for the cause by staying
at home and helping their fathers to
raise big crops and so put the nation
in a position to meet its crisis
the best possible condition as to
available resources.

U. OF N. STUDENTS TO
SING FOR OMAHA
Kosmet Klub Will Produce Mu
sical Comedy at Brandeis
Theater Soon.
OMAHANS HAVE THE LEADS
In Argonia, one of the numerous
islands of the Aegean sea, under the
protectorate of Turkey, is the scene
laid of the action of "The Diplomat,"
the dashing musical comedy which
the Kosmet Klub of the University
of Nebraska will present at the
Brandeis theater Saturday, April 21.
Two acts offer opportunity for some
brilliant stage effects, the first being
laid in the palace of the dictator, the
second in his summer cottage.
Omaha Students in Leads.
"The Dictator," the leading role, is
presented by an Omaha boy, Walter
C. Johnson, 2810 California street,
with Ellsworth Moser, 5805 Florence
boulevard, in the "second lead" as
General Paulos. Brooks Vance, 2002
Emmet street, another Omahan, as
Freddie Withington, presents one of
the principal characters, and Les
Putt, 3728 Lincoln boulevard, por
trays the dashing Lieutenant Akim.
Miss Katherine Newbranch, 1902
South Thirty-third street, is one of
the six leading dancers for this mu
sical comedy, and several other
Omaha people are members of the
chorus, which, with the cast, totals
fifty people.
University students who have been
working under the -direction of the
author, Prof. R. L. Scott of the state
institution, make' up the large com
pany necessary to produce this com
edy, including the specially trained
chorus of thirty-five, which has been
for weeks under the supervision of
special voice and dancing instructors.
Extra effort has been made this year
to emphasize the work of the chorus,
and it is believed to be one of the
features of the production.
Some Real Song Hits.
Musical hits are not lackinsr in the
comedy. One of the big successes is
"I Like to Flirt a Bit Myself," a duet,
one of the singers being Mr. Johnson,
in his role as the Dictator. Two
other song successes are "If You
Want to Know the Secret" and
"Honest, Dear, I Love You."
The music and words for "The Dip
lomat" were written by Nebraskans,
and with an all-Nebraska rnmnaim
producing it, the State university
alumni in Umaha have arranged for
a production of more than ordinary
interest to Omaha people.
Young Women
Plan Strenuous
Work for Camp
An anonymous contribution of $500,
and $600 more in amounts under $25
each, produced the largest total Sat
urday of any single day in the cam
paign of the Young Women's Chris
tian association, to secure a summer
camp for working girls.
Saturday's total of subscriptions
Vis $1,188, which brought the fund
already raised to $8,573.61. The sum
needed to insure the camp is $20,000,
which must be secured in full by next
Saturday night, in order to buy the
property under the option.
Workers in the campaign plan
strenuous efforts for the week, in
order to accomplish the task of pro
viding a nearby recreation place, espe
cially for poor working girls and
women. They appeal to all interested
persons to help them this week, in
order that the hoped-for summer
camp may be secured.
Greeks Plan for Regiment
Of Their Own Countrymen
Captain James F. McKinley of the
army recruiting station will go to
Sioux City to attend a meetino- nf
patriotic Greeks there, who plan to
join the army. He intends to enlist
as many as possible in the regular
service.
By getting special permission frnm
headquarters, Captain McKinley says,
he expects to have all Greek recruits
assigned to the same reaimenr. thus
providing a solid body of men of that
nationality.
Greeks in other cities anrl inwn.
including South Omaha, are said to
be contemplating enlistment. The
Greek regiment plan will prove es
pecially acceptable to them, it is
tnougnt.
Halter Goes to St. Louis
To Confer on the Crops
F. L. Haller of Omaha, chairman
of the board of regents of the Uni
versity of Nebraska, left Saturday
for St. Louis where he will attend
Monday a conference with Secretarv
of Agriculture Houston. With him
went Chancellor Avery and Dean
Burnett of the university's school of
agriculture.
The purpose of the meeting is to
devise ways and means by which the
crops of Nebraska and other states,
so vitally necessary to a nation at
war, may be increased. Other repre
sentatives of schools in the middle
west have been urged to attend the
conference.
J. R. Dumont Closes
Two Harney Street Deals

important sales on Harney street with
some building development immedi
ately contemplated, other large deals
on this street are in prospect, and a
few of them are practically closed. It
