X THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER, 9, 1918. It COURTDOFISTIG RELATIONS NOW IS PROPOSED Would Be in Conjunction with the Juvenile Court, Ac cording to New Plans. Omaha will have a court of domestic relations, in conjunction with the juvenile court. The matter will be presented at the forthcoming session of the legis lature in such a manner as to leave no doubt of the success of the pro ject. ' Among those who are interested in the proposition are prominent members of the Omaha Woman's -club, the Omaha Society for the Betterment of Boys and Girls, dis trict court judges and many citizens who have given years- of thought and effort to sociological work4 Plan Outlined. The tentative plan is to obtain a competent person who shall devote ,. his or her entire time to the work of the new court and also preside as judge of the juvenile court. District court judges who have i presided over the juvenile court agree that they can not do justice to this work by merely dropping in once a week, on Saturday mornings, and tiren pass ,on cases of which they should have more knowledge. Judges Handicapped. "Take for instajice.V said Judge Troup, "one of the district court judges may be engrossed in an im- portant litigation wjiich may, extend , over weeks of time, and then sud- , denly he goes into the juvenile coup to preside. He can not do it justice." Judge Day stated, that from his experience with divorce cases on -which he hat.passed. many of these cases would never actudlly reach the divorce court if a court of domestic relations could' get to them first. "The success of a court of domes tic relations would depend largely upon the" individual who presides, and it is my opinion that the posi-) tion should he appointive," said Judge Day. "Our constitution provides that there may be such other courts than , we now have, as the legislature may provide. Under that provision ' e municipal court was established, and under the same provision we have the proposed court of domestic re lations. As I understand the situa tion, this court would not prevent persons filing divorce petitions, hut it would operate to the extent that before a divorce case may he heard, 'the district courf judge, if in his opinion he deems it best, the case might be referred to the domestic relations court for settlement, and no doubt many cases would be hap pily disposed of in that court. "If the domestic relations court fails to straighten out the domestic tangles, the case may go to the divorce court. Provisions no. doubt . will be made for appeal from the de- tcisions of the domestic relations tourt, but the real purpose of the domestic relations court would be to reconstruct, to find out what the real difficulties are, and to advise. Whisky is Factor. "Many juvenile court cases dove tail into the divorce court. During the last 10 days I have passed on five divorce cases where children were involved. In each case mother ind" father wanted the children. In ar. of those cases the husband was earning $13 per week when he was married 4 few years ago. He spent t $3 per week for whisky, and even now, when he is earning only $20 per week, he spends several do'lars per week for whisky. I told him that a man should earn at least $10, 000 a year in these times before he should feel justified in buying whis ky, if tHere were any justification needed." Judge Day added that he believed the court of domestic relations could also investigate mothers' pension ind county charity cases. Mayor Can See No Reason , for News Fake Thursday "It is a sname that any newspa per should fool the peopie the way one paper did. Thursday by the statement -4hat an armistice had been signed by Germany," said Mayor Smith Friday. . ''I can see na excuse for jt. The people walkea about the streets in the rain and it isquite likely that many new cases of influenza and other sickness will be developed. "Besides that, it raised the hopes . of many a mother and wife to great heights and then dashed them to the ground again." v Mayor Smith declined to speak . at the Daily News' "tremendous jubilee" in the court house Thurs day evening. V m I i i Alleged Con Man Given Jail Sentence for Vagrancy Bert Zugg, 308 North Sixteenth, said by police to have assisted in the "bunco" game worked on Hans Christian Christianson, Swede far mer from Atkinson, was sentenced to 90, days in jail by Ju&ge Mad den Friday morning on a vagrancy charge. , Zugg admits introducing Chris tianson to the two "con" men, who Trot away with $900 of his money, dui acmes receiving any ot tne pro ceeds, -v s Dr. Newell Jones of Omaha Arrives Safely in France Word has been received by Chair- man Frank W. Judson of the Ne braska Red Cross of the safe ar- rival in France of Dr. Newell Jones. Dr. Jones is a noted child specialist who practiced several years in Oma ha prior to leaving for France.

Judge Sears of the district court made this com mtnt: , "Anybody who would perpetrate such a , thing should be boiled in oil." .

APJlRJES OVER CITY AND DROPSTICKETS Lieutenant Gledhill Spreads United War Work Litera ture Over Camouflaged Hut. Just before noon Friday Lt. R. A. Gledhill, U. S. A. aviator stationed at Fort Crook, left the post in his large army biplane. and flew over the city to inspect the camouflaged hut on the lawn of the court house. The aviator flew over the city at an average height of about 1,000 ft and circled and swooped over the city like the proverbial eagle. Lieutenant Gledhill made a spec tacular flight over the city. He circled overthe town two or three times and dropped literature from such a height that it took it a long time to reach the ground. The wind was strong and the pamphlets drifted to east Omaha. He made a few nose dives and tail spins high in the air and then suddenly swooped down until it looked as though he in tended to perch on the tower of the city hall hut instead he flew over The Bee building where he turned a "flipflop" so low that he almost brushed the flag waving on top of the building. The crowd cheered itself hoarse. Lieutenant Oftdhill dropped hun dreds of circulars in the interest of the united war work campai n which begins next week. On ten of the' circulars were pinned theater tickets for the lucky finders. Following the spectacular flight several snort talks were-deiiverea from the steps of the hut. Lieutenant JUlan lukey, war hero who was wounded on the battle fields of France and is home on a short leave, was introduced. Miss Helen Eastman and Miss Eernicc Bransoi. were the artists wluo successfully camouflaged the little war hut.

Preliminary hearing was waived in the embezzlement case against Clara Russel, Drake apartments, and Carl Sessinghouse, Blactstone hotel, in police court Friday, and the prin cipals were bound over to the dis trict court on, a $750 bond. E. E. Clossen, representing the Omaha Association of Wholesale Credit Men, and C. J. Connely. attorney for Ed Petterson Contracting com pany, claim that the Russel Ad justment company, of which Mrs. Russel is president and'Mr. Sessing house manhger, has been collecting on a large scale for wholesale firms and retaining the moeny. According to Connelly, the Rus sel Adjustment company has coU lected $1,300 for the Petterson Contracting company, of which only $100 has been turned in. Mrs. Russet and Sessinghouse were ar rested two weeks ago on a com-, plaint filed by the C. D. Smith Drug rompany of St. Joseph, which claims the Russel Anjustment company collected .$26674 for them which they never received. Other firms have also brought embezzle ment charges through Attorneys McGelton, Gaines and Smith. Among them is the Leigh Milling company of Leigh, Neb., which de clares it has lost $600 through its dealings with then Russel Invest ment company. The Russel Investment company has been in existence for a num ber of years. It was incorporated by J. Russel, a brother of Charles Russel, credit man for the M. E. Smith company. J. Russel, because of illness, was placed in an asylum, and the des tiny of, the company has since been i. the hands of Mrs. Russel. Union Pacific Brakeman Held by Federal Officers L. J. Moran, 1020 South Tejith street, a brakeman on the Union Pacific, arrested Thursday night for possession of intoxicating liquor, has been indicted by the federal court for interference with inter state freight. He is btlicved by fed eral authorities to have been im plicated in a fire at Mercer, Neb., in' vtl.iJi several box cars and $100,000 worth of alcohol burned. Moran admits that he was near the fire when it occurred but he de nies that he started it. The fire, according to witnesses, was started by some person at tempting to "tap" the supply of al cohol, and who was carrying a lan tern. The lantern was overturned and the fire resulted. Snow Storms Relieve the , Labor Shortage in West Manager Franklin of the federal labor bureau says the snowstorm and bad weather of the last few days has been a boon to the beet sugar factory proprietors at Gering, Scotts Bluff and other places in ,the cen tral west. When the storm started there was an acute shortage of heip in fields and factories. The storm put an end to gathering beets out of the fields and the men were transferred t the factories, all' of which were started on eight hour shifts, running 24 hours a day. The increase in help and in running time has en abled the factories to make consid erable of a clean up and with the re turn of good weather, the men are being transferred back to the fields. Price of Coal Drops Fifty Cents Ton in Muny Yard The price of coal in the municipal coal yard dropped 50 cents a ton Friday. City Commissioner Butler an nounces that" the price is now $9.25 a ton instead of $9.75. "I found where I was able to make this fulfher reduction without los ing any money," he said. , There are six cars of muny coal now in the city and more on the way. Orders are taken at Commis sioner Butler's office, fifth floor, city hall. c" One-Minute Store Talk "You don't have to take the suit you don't want in order to get the suit you can afford to buy here," said a cus tomer. That's one of the great first principles of Greater Nebraska Service, to give a man what he wants at the . price he wants to pay and the biggest variety in the west to choose from. Why be satisfied with less? WOMAN'S FITNESS FOR WAR WORK There's no question of women's right to enter war activities to take the place of the men now at the front In djped they would seem to have many points of superiority over men in some of the indus trial fields which they are now entering.

A sex tonic and nerva builder is needed, such as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
