Roller Skating Contest
For the Homecoming
Maybe even the famous roller skat
ing contest of thirty years ago will
be , reproduced at Nebraska City
August 16 when the annual home
coming is celebrated. Some of the
old-timers are. asking that this be re
produced, but Robert C. Druesedow
of Omaha, who was one of the prin
cipals, docs nof wish to stand for it.
His friends tell the circumstances
something like this: Admission to the
rink was 10 cents. Every person who
paid an admission got a vote on who
was the best skater. Mr. Druesedow,
then a young chap with a head which
already showed shrewd political dis
cernment, hung onto his father's coat
tails until lie got about $15 with
which to buy tickets for most of the
kids in town. They were to vote
for Druesedow. Druesedow was
skating against Oscar Strinc that
night. When the time came for the
contestants to enter the rink Druese
dow rolled in on his skates, all dolled
up in a crimson and green velvet
suit,; knickerbockers bound with pink
ribbons at the knees, and his head
topped off with a green stocking cap.
He glided in in -nil the glory of his
plumage and swept the galleries with
his eye, taking in (he fact that all
the 150 boys whose way he had paid
were there ready to cast their votes
for hint.. The 150 boys stayed and
enjoyed the show at Bob's expense
. and then voted the prize to Oscar
Strinc.
This is what his friends tell on him.
He has not been interviewed for his
confirmation or denial of the story.
Anyway, he is now to be the chair
man of the Omaha delegation that
will go to Nebraska City August 16
for the homecoming. He will hold
the first meeting at his office Satur
day night of this week.

LITTLE NEWS WILL

There will be a doleful dearth of
news from Nebraska brigade head
quarters at Denting, N. M.. and from
Nebraska soldiers at the front, it is
understood, for newspaper attaches
will be forbidden to accompany the
troops, and by War department's rul
ing regular otricers are not permitted
to write news dispatches. Tiepresen

be detailed to divisional headquarters
and will be aliowed to forward such
stuff as the censor approves and only
such. The censor will be an officer,
or perhaps officers, named for the
purp
I'.o Personal N.v.-s.
A division consists of 30,000 men,
and so it is not only foreseen, but, it is
now made known there will be noth

from the front. Two nr tiri nruic.

is indicated the probable procedure

"The brigade is solely a fighting
unit," said an officer at Nebraska
brigade headquarters. "There will be
no place in the Nebraska brigade for
newspaper men. Newspaper men will
not be assigned to the brigade. All
reports will go to divisional headquar
ters and such information as is not
of a military character and is passed
by the censor will be given tie news

The exploitation of individual offi

McVann Now Back in Omaha
After Duties in Washington
E. J. McVann, manager of the traf
fic bureau of the Commercial club, has
returned to Omaha from Washington
after an absence of several months.
He has been attending legal matters
and rate cases for some of his eastern
clients of his Chicago and Washington
offices. Mr. McVann now maintains
three offices, the one at the traffic bu
reau in Omaha, one in the Lumber
Exchange building in Chicago, and
one in Washington.
It was recently reported from Lin
coln that Henry T. Clarke, former
state railway commissioner in Ne
braska, had been elected to fill Mc
Vann's job as manager of the traffic
bureau in Omaha? This was untrue.
Clarke was elected traffic attorney for
the Omaha Grain Exchange instead.
It was his election to this position
that was confused with the traffic bu
reau job in Omaha. Mr. McVann is
still under contract with the govern
ing committee of the traffic bureau of
the Commercial club to superintend
the work of that bureau, though he di
vides his time between this and his
private practice in Chicago and Wash
ington. Bee Wants-Ads Produce Results.

For

Red Cross Activities
To supply Ked Cross workers with
raw material at the expense of the
Omaha Red Cross chapter and let the
women bring hack finished garments,
without any expense to them except
their time and labor, is the dream of
W. O. Ure, seere
A A tarv of the local
iv, T chapter, with ref
i twSS i irpnee to proce
dure in carrying
on the work in
which the women
of this city are
now engaged.
"in Minneapo
lis," said Mr. I're,
"the" chairman of
auxiliaries hands
over I 4,0 0 0
monthly in raw
materials, which the women make up
into the needed supplies. We, of
course, could not furnish so large an
amount, but certain it is that with a
locaP apportionment of $63,750 and
with revenues, such as donations from
the Hotel Men's asswiation and oth
ers, we ought to be able to furnish the
materials that the auxiliaries are at
present providing of their own voli
tion. "At present no raw materials are
furnished the workers except those
used in bandages. It Is only right that
the expense of purchasing the-ie goods
should come from the treasury which
the husbands and fathers of the city
have so generously provided, and that
the labor and time consumed in mak
ing up the materials come from the
mothers and daughters of these men.
"I hope that this method will soon
be adopted in our chapter here. It
is the only reasonable and fair way
possible."

CITY COUNCIL NOW
FACESBIG DEFICIT
Street Cleaning and Mainten
ance Department, and Rec
reation Work May Have
to Be Curtailed. .
Members' of the city council today
discussed the possible suspension of
work by the street cleaning and
maintenance department and a cur
tailment of recreation work in City
Commissioner Hummel's department.
Lack of funds was given as the
reason.
Soon afier the council met Com
missioner l'arks informed the board
that he faced a deficit of $55,000.
1 wenty-live thousand dollars of
this deficit, he said, was caused by the
increase in wages paid day laborers
The rest of the amount, he added, was
duo to the fact that the council cut
his appropriation.
"Tilings have gone up so high that
1 don t know what to do unless I shut
I down on everything, he said.
l arks stated that he had been
promised about $30,000 from a wheel
tax ordinance, which went only as far
as the court, where it now rests.
Commissioner Hummel added to
the 'plaint that he needed $-',000 at
once to continue recreation work.
"The public enjoys swimming at
the parks and it would be a shame if
we had to curtail the work."
Eleven Lives Saved.
He said the hot weather was re
sponsible for added expense in his
department. Two Sundays ago city
life savers pulled out eleven persons
from the water who might otherwise
have been drowned. Last Sunday
seven were saved.
"I found it necessary to hire a large
number of extra guards and to keep
them at the pools. I don't think the
public wants such work stopped."
He added that life saving was a
necessity and therefore the council
should give him the needed money by
taking it from the emergency fund.
Commissioner . Parks also added
that it was a necessity to maintain his
department and that money should
be provided from the emergency
fund.
Assistant City Attorney TePoel ad
vised both commissioners that "mere
lack of insight" on their part in not
obtaining enough funds at the Start
did not constitute an emergency and
that they could not get money in
that way.
Other commissioners took up the
iitcreased cost of living complaint. A
large part of the morning session was
passed in discussing the problem.
Stabbing Affair at
The Millard Hotel
After an argument about which all
were reluctant to tell police offi
cers a free-for-all fight was started
in the Millard hotel about 1 a. m.

OMAHA STRIKE CASE
IN GOVERNOR'S HANDS
Testimony Has Been Offered by
the Labor Men, but the
Employers Refuse
to Talk.
Robert Cowell and T. P. Reynolds,
members of the state board of media
tion and investigation went to Lin
coln yesterday to make a report
to Governor Neville of their findings
in investigating the strike in Omaha.
At Lincoln they were joined by the
other members of the board, Norman
and Sawyer, and the members in a
body made the report.
The report covers only the testi
mony of the strikers, as the em
ployers refused to testify, preferring
to stand upon what they were told
was their constitutional right in re
fusing to testify since they were un
der a temporary restraining order.
It is thought that Governor Neville
will insist upon the other part of the
testimony, that of the employers, be
ing incorporated in the report before
he accepts the report finally.
What steps the governor will take
in the strike matter after he has re
ceived the full report is a matter of
conjecture. Chairman Cowell of the
board said: "As 1 interpret the law
creating this board, it gives the gov
ernor no further authority in a strike
matter than he already has as the
chief executive of the state."
Mr. Cowell could not venture an
opinion as to what would be the re
suit when the report is in the gov.
ernor's hands.
