"There's a Reason "
THOMPSON BOUND
OVER FOR TRIAL
Former Dance Hall Proprietor
Accused of Attacking Crip,
pled Girl; Juvenile Au
thorities Push Case.
Chris Thompson, former proprietor
of a dance hall at Twentieth street
and Missouri avenue, was bound over
'to district court on $2,000 bonds by
Judge Madden in police court Tues
day morning on a charge of attacking
Nellie Butlinger, a little crippled girl
who lives at Twenty-third and P
streets.
Thompson pleaded not guilty.
The girl took the stand and told
that Thompson- visited her twice
while she was at home alone. Her
mother is dead and her father, an em
ploye at the Union stock yards, is
away from home much of the time.
Dr. F. O. Beck, who attended the
girl, testified that Thompson consulted
him in regard to her condition and
paid a portion of the expenses in
curred in treating her.
George Butlinger, father of the girl,
was called to the witness stand.
Miss Esther Johnson, juvenile offi
cer and secretary of the Omaha Asso
ciation for the Betterment of Boys
and Girls, told the court how the case
had been called to her attention.
, Twenty members of the Betterment
association were present at Thomp
son's hearing.
Deputy County Attorney Abbott
acted as prosecutor at the hearing.
Omaha Men Instrumental
In Meatless Suspension
Officials at the Exchange building
at the stock yards were instrumental
in causing the food administration to
suspend porkiess Saturday and meat
less breakfast. The suggestion to do
away with some of the restrictions
in regard. to eating meat was sent to
Administrator Hoover by an official
of the Live Stock Exchange more
than two months ago and the con
gested market and the discouraging
effects on heg production were ex-
lained
School Teacher Opposed
To Government Dismissed
Anarchistic utterances of Miss
Esther I-arson, a teacher in Avery
school, Sarpy county, caused her to
be summarily dismissed by the school
board.
Miss Larson is a member of a re
ligious organization known as "The
Church of God, or Soul Sleepers," of
which Almus Adams of Omaha is
the head, and which is opposed to
organized government.
"When given a second chance by
the board to retract her unpatriotic
statements and support the govern
ment she strode defiantly to the
blackboard and wrote, 'My answer is
no,' " said W. R. Patrick, board mem
ber, "so of course we had to dismiss
her." .
Self-Denying School Board
Agrees to Suffer Leaky Roof
In its dingy room up under
the roof o.' the city hall, the Omaha
board of education held a brief meet
ing last night, transacting routine
business.
One member, pointing to the walls
from which on every side the paint
hangs in great peelings because the
roof leaks, begged that a trifling sum
be devoted to repairing the roof and
renovating the walls.
Then up sroke Sam Burns declaring
that the roof cannot be mended while
it is raining and when it isn't raining
it doesn't need mending. And,
though the room looks like the third
act scene of "East Lynne," the
economical and self-denying board
declined to ask that it be repaired.
F..A. Brogan called attention to the
fact that the clearing house banks of
Omaha, are carrying the school war
rants until funds are available for
paying them,
"They are doing this purely as a
public service to the extent of about
$250,000," he said.
