Ak-Sar-Ben, to assist the police de
partment in controlling the large
crowds assembled along the parade

. Chief Dunn says: "With the assist

enabled to properly handle the tre
mendous crowds in such a way that
everyone will have an opportunity to
see the parade at its best."

crowds. They will also be prepared

parades will be awarded the new
service band fo the staves.
Liberty Loan Medals.
At a meeting of the executive board
yesterday it was decided to award
any scout who secures ten Liberty
loans a beautiful medal in recognition
of such service. These medals will be
even more attractive than those which
the government has been delayed in
sending to the scouts who secured ten
Liberty loans, in the first campaign.
It is expected that at least 100 scouts
will be able to earn these Liberty loan
medals.
Scoutmasters Elect Officers.

support a man who won't work even
in these war days when there is such
a demand for common labor." j

continuing to loaf about their home
while she works to make a living for
the family. v

which was sent back from the court
of appeals for retrial in this district,

ments with having aided President
Melchior L. Luben, president of the
First Natidnal bank of Sutton, in is
suing certificates of deposit without

OMAHA OFFICIALS
VISITSTATEPEH
Convicts in Nebraska Prison
"Fat and Healthy" and En
joy Best of Treatment
from the Guards.
Public Defender Horton and Adult
Probation Officer Andreesen have re
turned from Lincoln, where they pass
ed two days in the penitentiary.
These officials were not "sent up" for
short terms, they were there on busi
ness. Horton was in Lincoln in the in
terests of Art Hauser, notorious "ape
man," serving a life sentence for the
murder of W. H. Smith, auditor of
the Woodmen of the World. Hauser,
convicted in criminal court in Omaha
after a sensational trial, is appealing
to the supreme court for a ne trial.
Andreesen spent his time in the
penitentiary talking to "some of his
old friends," as he expressed it. He
Had a long talk with Hauser.
"Art admits he is guilty of many
crimes, but maintains he is innocent
of the killing of Smith. He is mak
ing brooms, has gained thirty pounds
and says he is getting a 'square deal'
in the pen."
Faust Liked Beer.
Andreesen had another talk with
Pete Faust, formerly a notorious
Omaha character, who is serving a
life sentence for the murder of a sol
dier ten years ago. , Faust is now a
trusty and shows visitors the prison
made furniture in the "show room."
"When I told Faust Omaha had
'reformed' since he 'left the city,' " he
remarked: " if it's a dead town I'm
glad I'm not there. I'll always re
member Omaha for its good beer and
whisky and the clink of the poker
chips on the lower Douglas.' "
Andreesen also gave William Ass-
man, convicted bank robber, former
ly a druggist at Sixteenth and Nicho
las streets, the "once over." Assman
was sent up last spring for complicity
in a bank robbery in Lass county.
He is serving a sentence of three to
fifteen years.
According to Andreesen Assman is
fat and healthy and has gained twenty-eight
pounds since he began doing
time. He wears a white suit and
works in the prison laundry.
Sues Telephone Company
For Cold She Contracted
Gertrude E. Young, formerly a
telephone operator for the Nebraska
Telephone company, appraises a bad
cold at $1S,WU. bhe is suing the tele
phone company for that amount in
district court, alleging she contracted
"frequent and continuous colds while
employed as an operator at informa
tion desk."
She says there was a draft caused
by an electric fan overhead and doors
and windows, which were left open.
According to Miss Young's petition,
an infection set in "which probably
will result in total and permanent
deafness."
WOMEN EMPLOYED
AS STATION AGENTS
Northwestern Tries Them Out
Through the State in Sell
ing Tickets and On
Light Work.
The Northwestern Railroad com
pany has commenced employing
women to do station work along the
Nebraska lines and in positions that
in the past have been filled by men.
Owing to the scarcity of men, at a
number of the larger stations in Ne
braska, such as Fremont, Norfolk,
Hastings and several others, when va
cancies have occurred in the office
force by reason of the male employes
having gone to war, women have
taken the places.
Although the tryout of women as
station employes has not been fully
tested, General Manager Walters is
well satisfied with the results up to
this time. They are apt students and
quickly become familiar with the work
that they are called upon to do.
So far none of the women employes
of the Northwestern have been called
upon to hustle baggage, or handle
freight, but they are selling tickets,
keeping books and doing general sta
tion work. Several of those who are
employed about the stations, during
their leisure hours are learning teleg
raphy and fitting themselves tor tak
ing full charge of offices.
Railroad Congestion is
Eliminated by War Board
The local railroad war board has
figured out that since May 1, this year,
when the railroads commenced co
operation with the government in the
handling of trains, cars and commodi
ties, approximately 20,000,000 miles of
train service a year have been saved
by the elimination of all passenger
trains not essential to the most press
ing needs of the country.
This elimination of passenger train
service, it is asserted, has cleared
thousands of miles of track absolutely
needed for the movement of freight,
released thousands of locomotives and
train crews that have gone into the
freight handling end of the railroad
business.
By reason of the action taken by
the government, the railroads and the
war boards, freight congestion, rail
road men say, has become a thing of
the past and that now, regardless of
the bumper crop that .is beginning to
move, plenty of freight cars are avail
able. The war board goes into data con
cerning the coal industry, showing
that during July of this year 132 of
the railroads, doing the bulk of the
coal business, transported from the
mines 207,429 more loaded cars than
during the same month of last year,
an increase of 31.5 per cent, or 10,316,
960 tons. .
Clerks Are Wearing
Sweaters at Court House
Court house attaches have been
shivering for two days and wishing
it would either turn warm or real
cold, the latter so the economical
superintendent of the building would
have to order a little steam turned
into the radiators or freeze to death
himself.
Because of the thick walls of the
big county building it is comfortable
inside even when the weather is warm.
When the weather outside is even
only fall-like, the court house becomes
cold and dreary when there is no
steam turned on.
J,
Clerks and stenographers came
down to work Friday morning wear
ing heavy clothing and sweaters.
