THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1917.
CLUBS' DECISION IS
SURPRISE TO BOARD
Commercial and Automobile
' Clubs Recommend Accept
ance of 74-Cent Bid for
Dodge Street Paving.
Good roads committees of the Com
mercial club and the Omaha Automo
bile club Tuesday morning reported
back to the county board recom
mending that Bauer & Johnson be
awarded a contract for paving five
miles of road on West Dodge street
at 74 cents a square yard. The com
mittees further recommended the im
pregnation method, with a special
brand of oil to be used in putting in
'the road. Such a job would cost the
county $36,200.
' County dads "registered" surprise
in large gobs when the committees'
wishes were made known to them.
They had expected the delegations of
the Commercial club and the Automo
bile club to recommend a 44-cent rate,
the road to be put in by a "pressure
method."' The board is meeting to de
cide whether the recommendations
will be adopted.
Commissioners Not Pleased.
The latest developments in the road
paving row between rival construc
tion companies, in which the county
board was dragged in, seem to be any
thing but pleasing to the commission
ers. After a contract was awarded to
the Callahan Construction company
for one mile of paving on a basts of
78 cents a square yard, Bauer & John
son brought injunction proceedings
in district court against their rivals
and the county board., !
Contract Knocked Out
Judge Redick, sitting in law court,
knocked ouK the contract of the, Cal
lahan people, ruling .that the board
had no legal right to ask for bids for
Ave miles of road and then award a
contract for one. The paving matter
was referred back to the commission
ers, who Monday asked committees
from the Commercial club and Auto
mobile club to make recommenda
tions. . ',
The county board believed the, good
roads committees of the two organi
zations would recommend that Bauer
& Johnson be awarded the contract
but on a basis f 44 cents a square
yard. Their recommendation of the
impregnation system at 74 cents sort
of took the breath out of the commis
sioners.' ' ,

Jay Taylor, who conducts a room

street, South Side, overlooks no d( ,
bets, according to a report made to
the city council by the health depart-
ment . Complaint was made to the
council that thirty-five negroes occu
pied twelve beds at the Taylor place.
Taylor, the report reads, works a
double shift on his beds.
Two women have been served with
a writ of ouster from the Blackstone
because they insist on keeping a cat
in their rooms, which is saia to be
against thef rules of all first class
hotels.
Of course the cat is not an ordinary
rat catcher, but it has long hair and a
long pedigree, so that the women
would sooner fight the case than leave
the hotel. '
The women are registered as Miss
Osborne and Mrs. Grace Furson-Os-borne
and have been at the hotel
.for some little time and because of
reports , which preceded them from
other hotels they were forced to pay
for their room and meals in advance.
The women are objecting to moving
and promise to put up a fight They
have taken a stay In their case which
gives them eight days to stay at the
Blackstone with their cat before the
constable can put hem out
Farmers' Wheat Will Not Be ;
Requisitioned, Says Hoover
t "The government has absolutely no
intention of requisitioning the wheat
in the hands of the farmers." .
This is the word received from Her
bert Hoover through the office of
State Food Administrator Wattles. '
"The price has been-fixed by the
government," says Mr. Hoover. "It
is t just price, a high price and a
price that holds good for next year's
crop, no matter how large that crop
may be. "It protects the farmer.
"Now if, under these circumstances,
the farmer wants to keen his monev
tied up in the wheat, the government
has no objection. It is to the farm
ers' interest to turn his wheat into
money at the earliest possible mo
ment, cut the government certainly
nas no intention of requisitioning it,
Mr. Hoover also calls attention to
the fact that some manufacturers are
declaring that the prices of their
. products have been approved by the
mm aamimsirauon at vvasnington,
There is m foundation for this state.
ment. declares the food administrator.
and he saya further that if the state
ments are not stopoed court oroceed,
ings may be taken against these manu-
laciurers. .

Defense Council Will
Go After Coal Dealers
In letters received from Governor
Neville and the State Council of De
fense, an Omaha ' organization is
advised that the adjustment of
the retail prices of coal has been
taken up with Dr. Garfield, national
fuel administrator. An effort is being
made to have the government con
trol the retail prices as .it has the
price at; the mine. Omaha parties
registered a complaint with the gov
ernor when retail prices were not re
duced in proportion to the reduction
at the mine. The governor referred
the matter to the state council, which
is , now ? taking the matter up with
federal authorities.
Anonymous Writers Warn
Clark Not to Try Smith Case
Sheriff Clark has received letters
from anonymous writers warning him
against "prosecuting the negro,
Charles Smith." now in rnnntv tail
awaiting trial on a charge murdering
Airs, c Lh :n etna way, wite ot a Flor
ence real estate man.
These letters, written in a crude
hand, "advise" the sheriff to "put on
his thinking cap and get some evi
dence against the right man, ipstead
of persecuting an innocent man."
They tell the sheriff they will "get
his hide if he don't look out."
"They won't get my hide not if I
see them first," laughed Sheriff Clark.
"The work of 'nuts,'" he declared.
Appoint Letton Chairman
Of Hotel and Restaurant Men

restaurant men. This organization is
to have an important part to play in
the coming campaign for the purpose
of getting every person ; to sign . a
pledge card to help in food conser
vation. This campaign is scheduled
for the latter part of October.
NO EXEMPTIONS FOR
FARMINGSAYS BOARD
District Body and Washington
Authorities Besieged by
Farmers Who Allege Big
Damage by Draft.
No word has been received from
Washington by the draft board in
relation to the postponement of the
draft as affecting farmers. The larg
er per cent of men called from Ne
braska are farmers, except in the three
industrial centers of Omaha, Lincoln
and Grand Island. Farmers are be
sieging the board in the Douglas
county court house to help them out
and are wiring continually to Wash
ington. One man yesterday appeared be
fore the board stating he owned forty-seven
farms and would find it im
possible to get his crops in if the
farmers, should be ':en by the draft
now. All his ten; farmers, as well
as himself were already finding great
difficulty in getting help and the call
ing away of the youpg men with a
knowledge of farming would not only
seriously cripple his own affairs, but
would be an unwise move for the
state. He was told to wire to Wash
ington and he left saying he would
lose no time about doing so.
Word from Washington cannot now
come in time to help those who go
on the 19th of September, but there
is time to take up the matter as con
cerning the contingents of ' drafted
men to leave later.

Ninety -two Men in Omaha Draft
Contingent; Brandeis as Private
Ninety-two men of the selective draft In the Fi' i district of Douglas
county assembled at their district h eadquarters in the court house yes
terday morning to answer the call. . . '
They then had their first taste of military life. Their captain,. James
F, Keel, marched them up to Twentieth street and St. Mary's avenue for
a little drilling. .. .- . t '
In the midst of the bunch was an unassuming young man who would'
have been unnoticed had not curious newspaper reporters ferreted him
out This was John Ervine Brandeis, the wealthiest young man m Omaha.
Attired in a modest brown business suit and a gray cap, he appeared
quietly at the call and took his place in the ranks. In a few minutes he
and the ninety-one other young patriots were marching along the streets
in double quick time. Brandeis enters the army as a plain private. He
has made no claim for exemption and expects no favors.
Officers of the Fifth district contingent who will escort the men to
Camp Funston have been selected from those in the lot having military
training during their university or high school days.
These are Captain James F. Keel, First Lieutenant Clarence B. Dar
low, Second Lieutenant Harold McConnell, First Sergeant Laban Harrison.
All are well known young men of Omaha. Lieutenant Darlow is the
son of Mrs. Alfred Darlow, 208 South Thirty-sixth street.
Harold McConnell is a son of A. B. McConnell of the Sherman-Mc-Connell
Drug company. - They have another son in the aviation corps.
