r An observation balloon flying over
Firt Omaha caused consternation
early Thursday morning when one of
the fins, or lobes, stabilizers of the
balloon, ripped and the big "man
made bird" pitched and whirled in its
position among the clouds. .
; Two- men, a pilot and an observer,
were in the balloon.. Both were ex
cited, but neither was hurt. The
men on' the ground saw what had
happened and hurried to pull the
damaged balloon to earth.
The fins are inflated by the vypd.
lne puncture resulted irom a weaic
spot in the silken texture. The bal-
loon was nice a mrd wun a cnppica

lor tne men at xne xori.
Colonel H. B. Hersey, commanding
tfficer of the balloon school, said:
Neither of the men was hurt and the
experience did them good; it is such
things that will teach them to be un
' afraid when the unexpected happens
'over there,' when they art doing ob
serration work over the battle lines."
i Free balloon flights, which were not
possible during the cold . winter
months, have been 'resumed at the
school. Leaders in the work say that
training in free balloon fights will give
the boys greater confidence and will
be valuable training for them in case
the Germans sh6uld destroy the cable
of their balloons while they are mak
ing observations over the trenches.
Florence field, the new addition to
Fort Omaha, is being graded and
quarters for soldiers are being con
structed. Water connections have
been put in and several miles of sew
e's have been laid.
This new addition will permit the
work at Fort Omaha to be carried on
in a much larger scale, and air men
say it will make Fort Omaha the,lar
gest balloon school in the world. (

An organization of women stole a
march by getting into the public
schools with campaign cards and ac
complishing part of their plans before
their activities were checked by the
superintendent of schools. The cards
bore the heading "Good Government
ticket," and the names appearing
thereon were of the "Allied candi
dates." The women who called on
the principals explained that Dr. Jen
nie Callfas requested distribution of
the cards among the children with
directions to take the cards home to
parents. Some of the teachers granted
the request, while others telephoned
to school headquarters. Superin
tendent Beveridge has sent circulars
to all schools, instructing that no po
litical propaganda of any kind shall
be promoted in the schools.
t Chairman Fiattt. of Jim Dahlman's
ticket issued a strong protest against
the use of the public schools for po
litical propaganda. v '
Mayor Dahlman and other candi
dates on Jim Dahlman'sNicket held a
series of meetings Wednesday night
in the South Side. The mayor in
sisted that his opponents, known as the
allied candidates, are the same old
gang," that has been trying to get his
job for 12 years. He challenged them
to point to one instance, of misappro
priation of funds during his administration-;
He further questioned the de
sirability of electing three lawyers, re
ferring to three members of the bar
on the allied ticket. The mayor also
vouched for. each candidate on his
ticket, which he averred was in fact
not a ticket, but merely recommen
dations of his own to the voters.
"Joe Hummel is the best park
commissioner Omaha ever had,", was
a recommendation uttered at a meet
ing on Wednesday night.
Commissioner Parks is distributing
new campaign cards bearing imprint

Election Commissioner Moorhcad
has entered 7,500 challenges on the
registration books. These challenges
resulted from house-to-house check
made by a staff of inspectors, this
being the first general check since
the fall election of 1916.
Many challenges are against vot

of residence without having revised
their registrations, while some are of

City Attorneys Fight Move of
Detective for Reinstatement
Apllication was made Thursday to
the district court by city attorneys in
the suit of Paul Sutton, former city
detective, for reinstatement, to re
quire the transcript of evidence from
the city council to be completed by
including the testimony of Steve Ma
loney: Harvey Wolfe, W. M. Dolan
and O. P. Peterson. The testimony
of these witnesses at the hearing in
Chadron was not transcribed because
of the death of Frank Sutcliffe, court
stenographer.. City attorneys con
tend it was mainly upon the testi
mony of these witnesses that Sutton
was dismissed. They allege, that Sut
ton was dismissed after a 'fair hear
ing before the -council and that the
district court is without jurisdiction
in the case. ,
