Boiling Pot of the South Side
Exemption Board Bubbles
Busily, But Few Patriots
Are Brewed.
The boiling pot of the South Side
exemption board bubbled busily all
day Monday but, if exemption is
granted to all who ask for it, only
seventeen soldiers were brewed for
the United States army out of the
ninety-six men examined. Fifteen
mfen were rejected and sixty-four
claim exemption.
It was a motley crowd which gath
ered in the lobby of the city hall to
wait their turn. Japs, Poles, Slavs,
Danes, Russians, Roumanians, and Bo
hemians all waited soberly.
The doctors found that some men
were faking poor hearing or defec
tive eyesight and so they devised new
schemes to use in testing them.
Two big fellows showed scars sev
eral years old which they contended
should bar them.
"Battle scars are what you fellows
need," growled a patriotic bystander.
Aliens Claim Exemption.
Twelve aliens claimed exemption
because they are supporting members
of their family who are still in the
old country. Some of them are legiti
mate claims, but four of them after
much questioning, admitted that they
had not sent any money to Europe
far two years.
One fellow asked for exemption
and J. J. Breen, chairman, handed
him some blanks. He waved them
about wildly and shouted that he had
gotten out of it, he didn't have to go
to war.
Two Irish lads, Edward McGimp
sey and J. M. Laughlin asked for ex
emption at the time they were ex
amined but they came marching back
in a . snort time and said that they
had changed their minds, they would
not claim exemption.
The exemption board is anxious to
quit work at 6:00 o'clock promptly
each evening and the packers have
made arrangements to let all of their
men who are to be examined, go
early and will not dock their pay for
the loss of "time.
Stock Yards Head Denies
Water Was Sold to Packers
"We have never sold the packers
a spoonful of water," said Everett E.
Buckingham, vice president and gen
eral manager of the Union Stock
Yards.
"According to the ruling of Feder
al Judge Munger at Lincoln last
week, we will not be allowed to sell
the packers water from our plant.
This action makes the municipal
plant a monopoly.
"The stock yards water is the best
in the city.. Our wells are deep and
the water is well filtered. It is abso
lutely pure."
Mr. Buckingham said that they
have a great deal of surplus water.
A great many of the packers have
their own wells.
Cudahy's have their own wells
which, furnish about 75 per cent of
the water they use. The municipal
plant furnishes the remaining 25 per
cent.
R. C. Howe, general manager of
Armour's said:
"Since we have never purchased
water from the Union Stock Yards
company, the recent decision of Fed
eral Judge Munger has not changed
the situation here. I do not know
yet what plans we shall make in re
gard to our water supply."
Stryker Finds Reporters
Have Strong Honor Code
"I was in Washington at the time
Elihu Root and his party left for
Russia," said A. .F. Stryker, secre
tary and traffic manager of the South
Omaha Live Stock company. "And
1 knew the date they left, the name
of the port and all about it. A news
paper man told me."
"It is wonderful what a strong
sense of honor a real newspaper man
has. They are in touch with almost
all of the big happenings. It is a
rare thing for one of them to leak
anything that lie has been asked not
to tell. The president and the big
officials call those fellows into their
private offices and tell them the gov
ernment's !sc. ets. Then they say,
