Van Gilder Reports to Rourkes
On His Twenty-first Birthday
E. R. Van Gilder, alias the Behe
moth, of Cape Girardeau, Mo., and
pitcher extraordinary, reported to
Manager Bill Jackson of the Rourkes
Tuesday afternoon.
Van Gilder reported to Omaha on
his birthday. He was just 21 years
old Tuesday. Thus he became a man
and voter on the same day he re
ported for duty at Rourke park.
If appearances count for anything,
Van Gilder is considerable man. His
bulk will stand comparison with Jess
Willard. He is several inches over
the six-foot mark and the scales groan
in protest when he steps aboard.
Bill Jackson almost went into
Promises of the Press Agents.
Orphrum At none of their Orpheum en
gagementa have John Hyama and Leila Mc
lntyre found warmer approval than this
this week In the playlet, "Maybloom."
Everything Leila Mclntyre and John Hy-
ann have offered at the Orpheum has proved
a popular auccrss because It Is not alone
what they do, but the way they do It that
makes It so entertaining. In leas pleasing
hands "Maybloom'' could easily be, and
would not be, what Mies Mclntyre and Mr.
Hyami mske of It. On Saturday night the
curtain will rise at 7:55 o'clock sharp.
Boyd Irrespective of sex, Maud Powell,
violinist, who appears In concert recital at
the Hi, yd tonight, la one of the foremost ar
IIhIs of the world. For convenience and clas
sification critics have placed Powell, Krelsler
and Tsaye In a triumvirate, but personal
taste dlctatea who la supreme of these. Sol
Marcosson, writing In the Cleveland News,
said of Powell: "Madame Powell, queen of
violinists, demonstrated her sovereignty and
the fact that her wonderful powers are ever
on the Increase. Her genius deals with the
big things of violin literature and her art
enhances whatever she touches. The rare
charm and delicacy of conception, the large
sympathetic tone, the plastic sense of Inter
pretation expressed In a technic of clean-
cut steel, the mental grasp and breadth of
delivery, all stamp Powell a great artist,
Irrespective of sex.''
Cayety Barney Oerard did much fur mu
sical burlesque when he produced hla latest
effusion, "Some Show;" be did atlll more
for this universally popular form of enter
tainment when he headed th organization

Movers," 1 truly a classic, Time after time
during Its recital he moves his audiences
to laughter so hearty that Joy teara fre
quently sooompany the outbursts of mirth.
He still has the assistance of funny Thomas
Snyder as "Boio," the unsneaklng. No at

given more satisfaction than this. Ladies'

contrasting of the false "upstairs,1' which
la made up of a lot of hapjpy-go-lucky and
philandering millionaires and their friends,
with a servants' decorous "downstairs" con
tingent, where, of course, we find flirta

been most successful. "Upstairs and Down"
will be given for four nights, beginning
Sunday, with a matinee on Wednesday.

Omaha Police Force
Be Put on Military Basis
In accordance with the practices of
the largest metropolitan police de
partments of the country, the Omaha
police force is to be put on a military
basis and will be drilled according to
tactics that will conform with the
most approved methods to" increase
their efficiency.
To accomplish this, Captain John
Briggs, who has seen service on the
border as a member of the Sixth Ne
braska, and who was discharged from
the service a few months ago hwanse
of being over military age, has been
transferred from the South Side to
the central station, where he will be
in a position to give the members
of the police force training in military
tactics.
Sergeant Heitfeldt has been named
to succeed him at his old post. The
Omaha police force has had no mili
tary training except in a perfunctory
manner since the retirement of Lieu
tenant Hayes a number of years ago.
Hayes took great pride in the ap
pearance of the men and before a
parade in which the police would ap
pear would put in much time instruct
ing the men under his command in
marching formations.

'HUSTLERS' FOR
AK-SAR-BEN ARE
AFTER MEMBERS
Campaign to Begin at Once,
Following Appointment of
Chairmen of Committees;
Goal Set at 3,000.
Chairmen for 13 Ak-Sar-Ben "hus
tling" committees, to begin the work
of obtaining new members for the
1918 season, were named at the first
banquet of the year at the Paxton
hotel Wednesday. The campaign will
start immediately in a "quiet" man
ner, with the climax set for some day
in June or July, when "Ak-Sar-Ben
day" will be proclaimed and an inten
sive "drive" made for 24 hours.
The 13 chairmen are Dan Whitney,
Jack Walters, W. II. Crawford, Joe
Bixler, Harry Mahaffey, W. H. Met
calf, Julius Rosenzweig, N. T. Thor
son, J. W. Harwell, L. P. Dyhrberg,
J. L. Hogan, John T. Dysart and Ed
Brailey. Each of these chairmen will
select two men to form the commit
tee. The membership goal for the sum
mer was set at 3,000 by "Dad"
Weaver, secretary. He urged the
committee members to keep the work
up until the last show has been staged
at the "den" instead of halting after
the first show, as has been the cus
tom. x
" "Early Bird" Favored.
Efforts to divide the city into dis
tricts for the different committees,
led by Louis C. Nash of Burgess
Nash, failed to result in unanimous
consent, the old custom of allowing
the "early bird" to reap the harvest
in certain favored business houses re
maining unchanged.
W. D. Hosford acted as chairman
of the meeting. About 35 members of
the original "hustling committee" at
tended the dinner.
The fate of Ak-Sar-Ben, which has
featured the summer in Omaha for
several years, hung in the balance for
a while, according to Mr. Nash. St.
Louis, New Orleans and other cities,
which have similar organizations, de
cided at the outset of the entrance of
America into the war to discontinue
their activities. For that reason the
Ak-Sar-Ben is several weeks behind
this year in opening its activities.
Finally it was decided by the board
of directors, declared Mr. Nash, to
go ahead with the entertainment, and
if conditions grew more serious it
could be discontinued.
In order to secure the 3,000 mem
bers each of the 13 committees must
enroll about 200 new members, there
being at present 600 men enrolled for
the year of 1918.
Directors of Street Railway
Consider Demands of Men
Street car motormen and conduc

mands to the board of directors of
the Omaha and Council Bluffs Street
Railway company Wednesday after
noon. ' No action was taken by the di
rectors. The arguments and views of the em

Wattles told the representatives of the
men of the financial condition which
is facing the corporation. He said
the question did not involve the will
ingness of the company to increase
pay, but reverted to a matter of cost
and income.
The conference lasted only a few
minutes, the directors promising the
