THE BEE; OMAHA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER lfr 1918. V t J POLITICIANS LOSE EFFORT TO LANS E3ERSTEIN POST Department of Justice Head Turns Down Requests to Have Favorite -Named. Unless extraordinary pressure is brought to bear to override the de cision of United States Attorney General Gregory in charge of ac tivities of the Department of Justice, at Washington, r.o hungry Ne braska democrat will have his appe tite a?uaged with the juicy plum cf Marshal Eberstein's place as - agent of the department at Omaha, when he retires to assume the duties of director of po';e. October 1. Local democrats, affiliated with the Hitchcock-Mullen machine, who are interested in an appointment to fill the vacancy, and who were anx ious for the place to go where it would do the most sood. sought to Influence Gregory in an appointment i that would be valuable as a matter of political expediency during the pend ing campaign. When Gregory was approached on the matter he said them nay. He laid it was the custom of the De partment of Justice to appoint heads from among experienced agents, and the plums were not awarded to the states out of polit ical preferment, expediency or op portunity. Men were sent as responsible , jjeads of the various divisions with out regard to the fact they were citizens of any state and were like soldiers, subject to be ordered to j any post, and with a view to using their abilities and experience where it would do the most good, he said He indicated the man who would be assigned to the Omaha head quarters would not be a citizen of Nebraska, and that it would be use less to try to have inexperienced politicians or office-seekers from Omaha or this state appointed to the place. This has caused great disappoint ment to several local democrats be sides others influential in the state, who had their optics fastened on this especially juicy plum, which they thought would be one of the emolu ments of patronage from the powers that be. Farmer Fails in Attempt to Run Whisky Blockade Officer Thomas O'Connor, who holds down the depot beat on Tenth street, is some boozehound. He readily can differentiate between a whisky runner and an ordinary traveler as far as he can see them. At 6 o'clock last night William Graham, farmer of near North Bend, attempted to run the blockade wJth a cargo of whisky. O'Connor had his periscope just above the water line and spotted Graham. He at once got under way ' and started in pursuit, overhauling his quarry just as he was leaving the depot. Graham had four quarts, a pint and a half pint of the trouble tonic. He was arrested and charged with unlawful possession.

An impor tant conference of leaders of the ma jority parties of the Reichstag was held Sunday with reference to the Austrian peace note, telegrams from Berlin today report COMMON URGED BETWEEN COMMISSIONERS Ure Says Departmental Mat ters Should Be Discussed By All Members of Council. Co-operation, co-ordination, and consultation between the city com missioners, are essential prerequis ites necessary to successful, opera tion of the commission form of city government, according to City Com missioner Ure. Themayor and commissioners en gaged in a round-table peace con-i ference during a meeting of the city council committee of the whole, the discussion arising out of a request for additional help for J. W. Long, the new inspector of weights and measures. Going at Loose Ends. "We are going at loose ends. We should bring these matters before this council and discuss them across the table," Mr. Ure said. "If we are going to have a real council we should know what each other is do ing. Mr. Butler has told us that 62(4 per cent of the street department funds were expended during the first four months of this year by his predecessor, a condition which would not have occurred if all of the commissioners would have known what was going on in other departments." "The head of each department has to run his own department and has to make good in his department," was Commissioner Ringer's com ment. "The whole council is responsible for all of the departments," was the contention of Commisioner Towl. Partial Agreement. There was unanimity of opinion that matters relating to appoint ments and salaries should be con sidered in conferences, but no agree ment was reached as to the begin ning nor the end of matters which should be brought to the council before action is taken. "I have three girls in my office, each receiving $100 per month, and I know that they are just as good as some in this city hall receiving $125 per month," Mr. Ure added. Mayor Smith and Mr. Butler stated that they have girls who are being paid $80 per month. Commissioner Falconer said that' his department is facing a general increase of pay and that it "just has to come." More Funds Needed. The street department funds will have been exhausted on October 1 and the health department will need more funds to complete the year. Commissioner Ure stated that $35, 000 of miscellaneous funds is avail able for distribution among the de partments. The conference was concluded by allowing the inspector of weights and measures an extra man for a limited time. A campaign ot weights and measures inspection is oromised. Fall Fashion Show on Remodeled Floor at Brandeis Store The Brandeis stores celebrated their fall opening Monday by dis playing advance fashions on an en tirely new remodeled second floor, arranged to create more room space and afford greater comfort to patrons. The new cases and fittings are of highly polished walnut, beautiful in simplicity of design. An added fea ture is the new Louis XIV French room, finished in delicate shades of cream an J brown, with the long pan eled mirrors and dome ceiling char acteristic of the period. The first exposition of the fall and winter models had for its keynote simplicity, although the influence of Paris is shown in the evening gowns, which, although more subdued than in former years, still retail that del icacy and charm that one expects to find in Parisian gowns. But what is lacking in ostentation is more than made up in adherence to detail. A tailored gown this season is tailored to the last stitch. Conspicuously absent are the khaki shades and the jaunty mili tary styles. The government will not allow the manufacturers to use the khaki, as it must be conserved for the army uniforms, and a re quest was also made that the man ufacturers not imitate the army styles. On account of the war the usual style show with the living models and the elaborate gowns will not be given this year. Thursday's Registration About Number Estimated Washington, Sept. 16. Complete returns from the registration last Thursday in 16 states and the Dis trict of Columbia of men between the ages of 18 and 45 years were re ceived today by Provost Marshal General Crowder. They showed a total of 3,238,629 men, as against the estimate of 3.232,26, and it was announced officially that they do not justify the assumption that re turns from the entire country will show an enrollment very greatly in excess of the estimate of 13,000,000.
