Convention by President R.
C. Moore; 150 Dele

1 "Too much reliance should not be
placed on legislation," declared Dr.
R. C. Moore, president of the Missou
ri Valley Veterinary association, in
his opening address before members
t,l that body, which opened its armiial
convention Monday morning at the
- Rome hotel.
"Legislation should be relied upon
far- the protection of animals," said
Dr. Moore, "but veterinarians will
need no legislative protection if they
depend upon honest dealing and thor
ough knowledge of their profession.
This sentiment was heartily ap
plauded and furnished the keynote
of the discussions. The papers read
at the Monday afternoon session were
exceedingly scientific, though in many

Visitors Carry Rain Jinx
To Omaha Boy Sccut Camp
Between 20 and 25 automobiles con
taining more than 66 Omaha people
braved threateningkies to visit the
Boy Scouts in their camp at Lake

The first car to reach the camp was
that containing the board members,
Walter Head, A. B. Currie, W. E.
Rhoadej. J. H. Beveridge, Dr. Willard
Powell. Lewis Sommers and Scout
Executive C II. English. They reach
ed the camp at 10 oclock, and the
rain began, at that moment. "We
know who is the hoodoo," cried the
boys. "They impressed the fact
that I was a hoodoo on me so
firmly," said Mr. English, "that I was
..glad to leave. Our car left at 12:30
and the rain stopped within 10 minutes.
Then 'I knew I was a real hoodoo,"
Mr. English admitted.
It beean again in the middle of the
afternoon, however, just as the later
visitors were , returning. Skidding,
steaming, soaked with rainthe cars
that had started out so gaily in the
forenoon, returned to Omaha, some

Von Hindenburg Not ,
Dead; Lives In Omaha
Von Hindenburg is not dead.
He lives in Omaha and has been
granted i an official license to
breathe and bark within the cor
porate limits of this city.
Clark Beisel of the city clerk's
office was given a thrill when a
12-year-old girl applied for a dog
license and responded with "Von
Hindenburg," when asked the
name of her canine.
She explained that the dog is
owned by A. Hansen of 2111
South Second street and the ani
mal was described as a black and
white fox terrier.
The dog will carry license tag
No. 2984.
MISSOURI RIVER
FISHES ARE DUE
FOR GREAT 'PARTY'
Hundreds of Dollars Worth of
Whisky, Wines and Brandy
s Dumped Into Sewer by
Sheriff.
Hundreds of dollars worth of
perfectly good whisky, bitters, apri
cot cordial, brandy and "white mule,"
otherwise known as alcohol, was
dumped into the sewer Monday morn
ing by Sherilf Mike Clark. The
liquor which was dumped has been in
the custody of the sherilf for months
and has been released only by recent
court orders.
In the presence of revcral witnesses
the sherilf nonchalantly carried the
precious fluid from all corners of one
of his booze caihes to tho sewer,
where it was emptied to feed the
fishes in the Missouri rivtr. The
mingled odors of the bitters and the
whisky and the tordial and the
brandy were wafted through the
windows of uie fifth floor of the court
house out to the street, whe e pass
ers-by were 6ccn to snin the air with
suspicious eagerness.
Although some of the "liquor was
of well known and reputable brands,
much of it was of the variety known
as "rot-gut" and was said by the
sheriff to be unfit 1'or human consump
tion. But perhaps this opinion was
offered only as a consolation to the
disconsolate air with which the wit
nesses viewed the sheriff's cool de
struction of liquor now quoted at $40
a gallon.

WIFE OF GERMAN
NOBLEMAN FAILS
TO REPORT HERE
Anna Von Batzereit Fails to
Fill Out Enemy Alien Re
port; Separated From
Husband.
Anna von Batzereit, an American
woman, married to a German noble
man, has failed to appear before Of
ficer Mansfield, in charge of the iden
tification -sof enemy aliens, to fill out
her papers as ordered by the procla
mation of Fresidcnt Wilson.
Mrs. von Batzereit came to the city
hall about 10 days ago and said she
was the wife of a man named Von
Batzereit, who was a member of the
teutonic nobility, but they had sepa
rated, althoueh there had not been
any divorce proceedings.
She said the last she nan nearu oi
him was when he was at Pittsburgh,
Pa., in 1917, when nc was making an
effort to get back to Germany to enter
the army and light against the allies.
She did not say what his mission
was in this country, but federal men
say the inference was that he was
connected in some way with the Ger
man propaganda work being done in
this country during that time.
She was rather noncommittal in
her remarks and said she was visiting
a family on rural route iN'o. 7, Benson.
The woman took the papers given
her to be filled out andas instructed
to have her photograph taken, the pic
ture of her to be affixed to her iden
tification book.
She took the papers, promised to
obtain a photograph of he.self and
return the next day. The tune for
her registry to be filled expired Satur
day night, and. because of her con
nection with the mysterious noble
man there is some anxiety to locate
her.

ing in favor of the establishment of a

Civil War Veteran
Seeks Pay Promised
Fifty-four Years Ago
James R. McCarty of Bellevuc
wants to be paid for services rend
ered the United States government
in 1864.
A few weeks ago Jo Ihms, direc
tor of boys and girls gardening work
in Omaha, took a group of boys out
for a goosebery hunt. Near Belle
vuc they met McCarty, an old, bent
man of 72 years, who has a little
cabin built of logs and tar paper in
the woods. He told the boys stories of
the civil war, and finally Mr. Ihms
drew from him his personal story.
McCarty enlisted in 1864 in the
Missouri state militia at Jentry
county, Missouri, and took his own
horse with him. The government
promised to pay him 40 cents a day
for the use of the horse, in addition
to his soldier's pay. When the war
was over Mr McCarty received a
certificate of service and a warrant on
the state of Missouri for the amount
due him. The warrant has never been
cashed and the Missouri state au
thorities allege there is now no fund
available form which this money can
be paid.
About a year ago Mr. McCarty sent
the warrant and the certificate of
service to Representative Lobeck,
who put the matter in the hands of
one of his assistants to be investi
gated. He enlisted before any action
was taken on the claim. When Mr.
Ihms returned to Omaha, he took the
matter up with the Board of Public
Welfare, who arc now investigating
the old man's story.
"The man needs the money and
should have it, if his story is true,"
said Mr. Ihms. "He has no property,
unless he has acquired title to some
of the woodland in which he lives
through squatter's rights. He built
his little cabin 15 years ago and has
lived there ever since, keeping the
woods cleaned up and cultivating' a
little plot of ground close to his home.
He was wounded slightly, but seems
to have recovered 'rom that. He has
never applied for a pension.
Police Judge Alleges
Profiteering in Whisky
Judge Fitzgerald expressed the
opinion in police court Monday morn
ing that steps ought to be taken to
regulate the price of contrabrand
whisky in Omaha. From the testi
mony of several who confessed to
having celebrated the Fall of the
Bastile by inbibing of liquor obtain
ed in sundry fence corners and dark
alleys, there is a wide varJtion in
the market quotations.
The cost of securing enough liquor
for a "stew" of medium grade ranged
from nothing" at all to $3 per half
pint. The indications seemed to be
that somebody is profiteering.
One dusky individual declared that
the liquor which was found in his
possession came without money and
without price and against his will. He
was standing, he said, by a high fence,
when someone threw a parcel over
to him. He caught it, and was medi
tating on throwing it back, but just
at that most inauspicious moment
the officer appeared and arrested him.
The story seemed to the court to lack
sufficient verisimiltude to get by.
Several others had to seek out their
booze and pay a round price for it,
and there seemed to the court no jus
tice in this sort of discrimination. He
suggested that steps be taken to cor
rect it.

exhausted upon the slightest effort Your inclination

because you lack not only the spirit to go ahead, but
the strength of mind and body as well to execute your

to go to bed, but just "fagged out" "all in," "dog
