V THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER, 28, 1918. WELFARE BOARD NAMES NEW HEAD FOR NEXT YEAR Omaha Man and President of Gideons Appointed Super intendent in Charge of Welfare Work. At a meeting of the Board, of Public Welfare held Thursday eve ning, T. H. Weirich was appointed superintendent of the board, subject to the confirmation of the mayor and council. Mr. Wierich has been a resident of Omaha for 18 years and for 13 years president of the Gideons, a Christian society com posed of traveling salesmen. He has done considerable work with the Union Gospel Mission. Of late he has been much intertsed in welfare work and has visited Chicago and Kansas City, looking closely into the methods pursued there. "I like the system in force in Kan sas City, said Mr. Weirick, "and if 2 ;,. my appointment is confirmed I in- $ tena to follow this system very closely, l have high ideals for the ; work and hope to make it a real benefit to Omaha and make Omaha a city which is looked to as an ex ample.of efficiency by other cities." , The Board of Welfare dispensed with the services of the second stenographer in the office, finding the work was not sufficiently heavy to require so many employes. Pro visions were also made for dance1 hall supervision for the coming winter. County Board Blamed T; for Omahans Advancing Police Expense Money f Because, some years ago, a sheriff - of one of the southeastern counties of the state, presented an expense bill of several hundred dollars for a trip to California to bring back prisoners wanted in a murder case, - and the bill appeared so extrava gant, citizens of Douglas county , : and Omaha have been made to guar antee the expenses of officers sent r outside the boundaries of the coun- - ty to recover stolen property and to bring offenders captured in other cities here for trial. These facts were unearthed in a conference between Police Commis , sioner Ringer and County Attorney i Magney, in relation to the case of Joseph Saunders, proprietor of Ford .ivery, who was asked to put up $100 expense money by the police i department to secure the return of a filched car and W. W. Short, al , leged to be guilty of the offense of " larceny as bailee and wife and child : abandonment, from Denver. Several years ago a sheriff in " southeastern Nebraska created a controversy between the county and : state officials as to the responsibility-, of the payment of a huge ex i ; pense bill. J. H. Moorhead was ' governor at the time, and caused a 'bill to be introduced-and passed in ': 'he legislature, "which placed the responsibility of the payment of ' itich bills on the county. I Since the passage of the bill the t, commissioners of Douglas county t '. have made no arrangements for the j 4 appropriation of an emergency fund y to bring back prisoners and stolen ' " property from outside points and "' this condition has handicapped both -1 the county attorney's office as well ' as the police department. It has been found necessary to cause the - victims of law bteakers to guaran tee expense, and 1)ecause of the inability of some to do this several offenders .have gotten away with ' stolen property and have gone un v whipped of justice. : Both the county attorney and the S police department feel that these ' conditions work a hardship on the community, and there should be some relief granted so as to make the work of the twodepartments, ' to maintain protection of property and punishment of criminals, more effective. With this end in view County ' " Attorney Magney and Police- Con niissioner Ringer will endeavor to work out some feasible plan for the creation of an emergency fund, " properly administered, that can be " legally established by the county ' commissioners. !

"The' name does not make the man," replied the Oldest Inhabitant, but sometimes you can fool some of the peopla some of the time by trim ming up your name to suit the oc casion." They were discussing Treasurer Endres' latest campaign advertising, wITich appears in the form of green blotters v upon which appears the name of "Michael L. Endres," demo cratic nominee for county treasurer. The interest in the situation Is that Mr. Endres has changed his first initial "M" to the name of "Michael," and added interest is arouseckbj reason of the fact that he is promoting the name of Michael on green blotters. He is registered with the election commissioner for voting purposes as "M. L. Endres," and was similar- i 9 ly identified when he was city councilman and on other occasions. "None would be so cruel as to charge Mr. Endres with making a bid fof the Irish vote by advertising his first name as Michael and dis tributing green blotters, would they?" queried the Careful Observer. "I dunno," replied the Oldest Inhabitant. Prussian War Minister Reported to Have Resigned London, Sept. 27. Lt.
