10 THE BEE OMAHA, SATURDAY, AFK1L 21, 1917. IS WOODMEN CIRCLE FOR WOMEN ALONE? Attorneys Say This is the Gist of the Fight in Court . Next Tuesday. MAHONEY WAS IN CASE The fight between Mrs. Emma B Manchester, former supreme 'guard- ian of the Woodmrn Circle, an aux- iliary of the Woodmen of the World, r.r.d the faction which is opposing her, will come before the state supreme court next Tuesday. Attorneys representing the oppos ing faction are F. H. Gaines, A. W. Jefferis and J. A. C. Kennedy. T. J. Mahoney, prominent Omaha attor ney, who died suddenly at Washing ton Thursday, was to have been one of the leading lawyers in the fight against Mrs. Manchester. A letter to Mr. Gaines said that he was on hs way to Omaha to prepare for the hearing before the supreme court Arthur Mullen, Halleck Rose and John J. Sullivan are Mrs. Manches ter's attorneys. The fight dates back a year ago, when a controversy arose between Mrs. Manchester, as supreme guard ' ian, and a faction that opposed her. The executive committee of the order contended that Mrs. Manchester was , .-nisdirecting the activities of the field workers. . . Right to Control. On December 19, 1916, the supreme ' court held that Mrs. Manchester had the right to control the field work until the meeting of the supreme for est was held. x The executive committee was en joined on March 16 of this year from proceeding with articles of impeach ment against the supreme guardian. On April 2 a special meeting of the supreme frirest was held at Memphis, . Tenn.,. in an attempt to settle the con troversy. At this convention the body divided into two factions, the opposing forces to Mrs. Manchester contending that ' it wai but a reconvening pf the old body. Want Men Discharged. , The opposing faction declared that the Woodmen Circle should be strict ly a woman's organization and asked that the field workers under her men be discharged. She refused, ar trclrs of impeachment were filed against her and she was discharged. No new supreme guardian was tlected, Mrs. Mary E. LaRocca, vice president, succeeding to the office. A new meeting of the supreme for est ia to be held at Atlanta, Ga., this summer. Mrs. Manchester alleges that the body at Memphis did not constitute majority and that ita action in dis charging her was not legal. This is the point now pending in supreme court. According to Mr. " Gaines, chief counsel for the opposing faction, the real fight ia whether or not the Wood men Circle shall be strictly an organi zation for women. 4- CLEANUP DAY IN OMAHA Women and children all join in the two days' campaign.

Miss Irma Gross, domestic science instructor at Central High, who con ducts the home economics' section of The Bee; Miss Bertha Wiese, also of the high school faculty, and Miss Ruth Sheldon, Young Women's Christian association gym instructor, went on a hike to Mynster Springs, north of Council Bluffs. As they stood on the bluffs over looking the river one of the number spied the Illinois Central bridge. "Let's hike back to Omaha- across that bridge," suggested one of them, i All fell in with the suggestion and a hilt, across the bottom lands led them, after barbed wire embarrass ments, up to the bridge-, when Two stalwart guardsmen confront ed them. "What are you doing here?- What pictures have you in that camera? What are your names?" they asked. "The last question bothered me more than any, confessed one of the three, "I never till that moment realized how German the names of two of us sounded." "We'll have to ask the lieutenant about this," said the guardsmen, after their queries had been answered. The lieutenant was sent for, ' "Whose the guilty party?" he asked in a gruff voice. Three school ma'ams, innocent of anything worse than a desire to hike, gazed meekly up at nun. Further explanations followed then the three teachers were escorted across the bridge released from cus tody. They had been paraded twice across the bridge under arrest.

WitftUufirin Eaohr Hand " Man Holds Up Saloon A "dope fiend" bandit,, whose hands trembled so that he was un able to firmly hold the two guns which he carried, held up Tony Minardi of the - Mars'! and Scavip sa loon, 563 South Eleventh street, and two patrons last- night . The bandit entered the saloon shortly before closing time and or dered a whisky to bolster up his shattered nerves. He then walked to the rear of the room took out two revolvers which he carried in his pockets and returned to the bar where he ordered the proprietor and two patrons to throw up their hands. After backing the customers up against the wall he told the proprietor to open the register, from which he took $25, the day's receipts. - "Vou fellows haven't got any money, have you?" he asked in a faltering voice of the customers. Upon receiving a negative reply, he backed out of the saloon. "I wasn't scared of being held up, but I sure didn't like the way he handled the guns," the proprietor aaid. - "I thought every minutes that he would lose control of himself and fire, bis hands trembled so."'
