THE BEE: OMAHA, MONDAY. NOVEMBER 18. 1918. NEW GOVERNOR IS KEEPING OUT OF ALL DANGER Has Not Revealed Himself to Office Seekers and Phil Bross Won't Tell. (From a Staff Correspondent) Lincoln, Nov. 17. (Special) The fact that this is a cold and cruel world is being demonstrated to many applicants for political jobs who having dropped their applica tions into the official hopper at the McKelvie political grist mill, are anxiously standing around waiting to see what the mill will turn out. It isn't any use to buttenhole Phil Bross, the miller. Phil simply smiles when the anxious ones go to him as the prospective, perhaps future ngnt nancl man ot the new governor and ask him for information. They simply come away in the belief in the old saying that "a man mav smile and smile and be a villain still." If Mr. Bross knows where the new governor is, he is hiding his knowl- ruse Dcneam a smile that pro claims that he has not been mixing with the politicians in Washington for the past dozen years without having learned' something. If the hopper is crowded with applications Miller Bross has a way of showing that it is simply time wasted to try and find out what he does know. As a man of silence Mr. Bross is in the front ranks and liable to stay there until the official edict is proclaimed and the aggravated case of political lockjaw has been relieved. In the meantime the new governor may be home tomorrow or he may not hr at home for another two weeks. Then again he may be at home now and keeping out of sight. In any event nothing will be gained by persistent effort. While persis tent dropping of water is said to wear th$ hardest rock away, there is danger that a too persistent dropping might make the rock in this case just a little harder. So applicants for office after filing their applications, might just as well wait and let the governor take his time, for it is said that he is going to en : deavor to make the best appoint ments he can without regard to color or race or previous condition of servitude. The applicant wlio thinks he has a "pull" may discover that qualifications and location is going to cut a lot of the congealed stuff :n the giving out of the jobs. BRINGING UP FATHER Copyright 191?

(Special) At torney General Reed stands pat on his former opinion that school boards cannot legally pay teachers their salaries for the time that schools were closed during the re cent influenza epidemic. The firm stand taken by the at torney general is in response to a protest sent in by Supt. J. F. Demit of Coleridge who alleges that the teadhers of his school were engaged for a period of nine months. The county board closed the schools of the county and yet there was not one case of flu in Coleridge during the time the schools were closed. He says the teachers had to live whether they worked or not -nd it was not their fault that they did not work. The attorney general comes back by saying that "It is only when in dividuals have, or think they have a grievance and express the same that it ultimately reaches those who make the laws and attracts attention so that new laws are made" and he is of the opinion that it is up to the legislature to cure the seeming defect in the old or present law. The fact that the schools were closed by law makes j. the duty of the law making body to remedy any condi tion which existed of an unsatisfac tory nature because of the law.

The State Board of Health will hold a meeting tomorrow to take up the matter of health conditions over the state as it relates to the influenza epidemic. Generally speaking the conditions have been improving un V.. in most places the disease has run its course and former conditions as regards precautions have been abated.

Settlement of contracts for both accounts, fear of un toward events ov?r the week end, ana an nouncement that the local money pool In tends to main:i;i existing credit restric tions, served to unsettle today's stock market session. Fully one-third of the trading was con fined to such leaders as United States Steel, shippings, Mexican Petroleum. Southern Pacific and prominent equip ments, other Industrials, rails and , spe cialties following In minor degree. Marine preferred Immediately mani fested reactionary tendencies falling SH points to Its recent low figures, rallying materially, but yielding again In the final dealings. Other favorites, especially United States Steel, lost ground when Baldwin Locomo tive, Studebaker and related equipments fell back. Rails were dull until the end when pressure of offerings caused the Pacifies and coalers to surrender gains of 1 to m points the tone at the close be ing distinctly heavy. Ponds In general were firm, with a slight easing among convertible rails and Industrials. Trading was light, liberty is sues making up the greater part of the operations at no material alteration from yesterday's final quotations. Total sales (par value) aggregated $3,550,000. Old Unied States bonds were unchanged on call durlrg the week. The bank statement disclosed an ex pansion in actual loans for the week of almost $44,000,000 and a contraction of $38,500,000 in excess reserves, reducing total reserves to about $29,000,000. OMAHA PRODUCE Number of sales and leading stocks: GRAIN ANDPR0VISI0NS. Chicago, Nov. 16. Famine conditions In Europe brought about fresh advances to day In the corn market here. Prices closed strong lHc to 3c net higher, with De cember $1.25 to $1.25H and January, $1.26V to $1.26. Oats finished c to 1 HOI Ho up and provisions at a range varying from 17c off to a rise of $1. Corn went upward from the start and closed at nearly the top figures of the day. Interest continued to center chiefly on the need ot large supplies for trans Atlantic countries that were represented as on the brink of starvation. Active commission-house buying found the market almost bare of offerings, and although selling orders Increased as prices advanced the pressure was at no time sufficient to fores any serious halt In the upward movement of .values. It was said that to a noticeable extent the general public bad entered the market. Wet weather, which threatened to hinder the crop movement, was an additional bullish fac tor. Besides country offerings were light. Strength and activity characterized the trade In oats as well as In corn. Hedging sales however, became plentiful on the bulge. Provisions ascended with grain. Current gossip dwelt mainly on Indications of Im mense quantities of meats and fats re quired for export. European food shortage tended to nit provisions as well as grain.

New Torn. Nov. 16 The end of the war found Wall street fully prepared for immediate eventualities, as shown by the orderly course of the stock market, but very much bewildered regarding the more Important and delicate phases of the re construction period. Assurances from Washington of a very gradual readjustment of war work on a downward basis and Indications that the Treasury department contemplates a mere moderate policy of post-war taxa tion, were received with quiet satisfac tion, albeit tempered by signs of fresh problems in relation to labor. With the exception of the first day fol lowing the signing of the armistice, trad, ing held within moderate bounds. Lead ers most often moved In opposite direc tions, the war group for a time develop ing marked heaviness. Ralls as a section reflected a partial reduction of the recent impressive ac cumulation, especially in the many low grade Issues. Industrials owed much of their Irregularity not only to the termina tion of hostilities, but to renewed pressure from professional sources. United States Steel continued 'as the center of speculative Interest, falling con siderably under par to the lowest quota tion since midyear, but making up part of its loss later. The Immediate Mture of many other stocks of a less definite character Includ ing metals or coppers, hinges to a great extent on the attitude of the authorities at Washlngon. Other stocks, notably shippings and oils, continue to be gov. erned by Influences peculisr to themselves.

Several times in the past endeav ors have been made to extend the Grand Circuit in the south, and now that the season has closed, this mat ter is again being talked of. Sev eral towns have been mentioned, either to follow Lexington or At lanta, tmong them being Memphis, Nashville, Jacksonville, Birming ham, Macon, Shreveport, New Or leans, etc. All of these cities seem to offer excellent opportunities for the extension of the big ring in their part of the country, and it is not al all unlikely that some arrangements will be made at the annual meeting this winter, which will add one or more members to the circuit, thus carrying the racing up to November 1 or later. Nella Dillon Leading Winner. Figures on the money winners in the Grand Circuit the past season furnish some interesting study. A total of 196 trotters entered the money winning list with amounts from $25 up to their credit. Nella Dillon heads the list with a total of $15,914.25, which she won in three races, while Ante Guy is not far be hind with $13,715 and Princess Loree is a close third, having won $13,595. The season just closed was lack ing in anything bordering on the sensational, especially among the pacers, and had it not been for the performances of Miss Harris M., and Single G., there would have been practically nothing for the statis ticians of the turf to change in the tables of 1917. Among the trotters, it was the aged performers who made the sen sations, neither the two or three-year-olds doing anything out of the ordinary. But two youngsters beat the 2:10 mark in 1918, they being Brusiloff, 2:084 and Princess Eta wah, 2:09J4, but when their per formances are compared with some in the past, they look rather tame. The real star among the aged per formers was Lu Princeton, who, a couple of years ago, was considered by many as a sort of a lemon. Un der the handling of Walter Cox in 1917, the white faced stallion took a record of 2:04, and the past sea son he came to the front as the real star of the Grand Circuit, winning eight races out of 11 starts, and beat ing that wonderful trotter, St Fris co, five times.' New Parent Association. The next event of importance in the light harness world of the mid dle west, is the Chicago sale, the week of December 16. The sale this year is of more than usual in terest inasmuch as a meeting of horsemen has been called to take up the matter of forming a new par ent association. Space will not per mit the publishing of all the de mands incorporated in the first draft of the rules, but it is suffi cient to say that they take in a large range of territory. The idea seems to be to form an association to buck the American and National, and while a number of their de mands are good, others are rather laughable. For instance, one of the things they pay particular atten tion to is "No more drunken grooms." Death of M Sweet. Horse interests of Iowa and the middle west lost a real supporter of the sport when "Al" Sweet of Sioux Rapids, la., died on October 22. For nearly a quarter of a cen tury he had been a familiar figure on western tracks and had estab lished a reputation as a trainer and New York Cotton Futures. New Tork, Nov. 16.

Douglas 3207. tl Fimt3nill race driver that very few others en joyed. Among the notable perform ers brought out by him was Hedge wood Bo 2:01, and probably it was his handling of the son of Chit wood that gave him his reputation in the first place. Other notable performers brought out by him were John Bryden. 2:09, Waynetta, 2:04)4', Texar, 2:14'4, and Duke W 2:2'4. A fall which he sustained while driving John Bryden several years ago, had caused ill health ever since and last spring he was com pelled to give up his training opera tions. He was about 55 years old at the time of his death. Camp Grant Detention Barracks Has Number of Athletic Favorites Great Lakes, 111., Nov. 17.Two big league ball players, a Big Ten conference star, a prominent pro fessional box fighter, a southern gridiron official and a college coach was the athletic haul reaped in one detention camp barracks at the Great Lakes Naval Training station in a day. Massaging the soil with a big No. 2 pick was Johnny Brock, late catcher for the St. Louis Nationals and the Little Rock club. Perform ing other rookie duties was Bob Larmore, known as "Red" Larmore in his few games on the Cardinal infield and several weeks in the Texas league. Brock is an aviation mechanic and Larmore a seaman. The boxer is Stewart Donnelly, Indianapolis lightweight. He's a shifty boy who has fought most of the prominent 133-pounders in the west. Donnelly will probably land an instructor's job in the navy. The departure of seven professionals on the London trip for the interallied tourney has left a shortage of in structors at the camp. Don Henry of Kenyon college and leading referee for the Missouri Valley conference, became a "gob" on the same day that Jim Grier of Northwestern university likewise donned his yellow leggins and roiled hat at this time. Grier three weeks ago played against Great Lakes in a Purple uniform. If return game is scheduled with the Evanston eleven there is a possibil ity he will perform against his old teammates. Amateur Athletic Union Meets at Philadelphia Philadelphia, Nov. 17. Matters pertaining to the amateur standing of athletes who acted as paid in structors at army cantonments dur ing the past year, the awarding of championship and delegate repre sentation are among the things that will be considered at the annual meeting of the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States, which began a two-day session here today. In the absence of Charles A. Dean, the president, the meeting was call ed to order by Samuel J. Dallas of Philadelphia, vice president. Sessions of committees today in cluded those on legislation, records, championships, gymnastics and re creation and basket ball. The committee on legislation is expected to report favorably a reso lution that no person eligible to compete as an amateur at the be ginning of the war and has become a paid instructor in an arnfy camp shall forfeit his amateur standing unless he shall continue in such paid position of the war. STEPHENS PAYS ; $600TO RUNFOR PLACEIN THIRD; Democratic Congressman Filev' Expense Account to Show . What It Cost Him to Make Race. '. Frcm a Staff Correspondent. Lincoln, Nov. 17. (Special.) Congressman Dan Stephens paid ?600, of which part went to the con gressional committee for the fun of going up againsts the republican draft, and getting defeated by the man who was drafted, according to his statement filed with the secre tary of state. V. B. Andrews who showed a merry pair of heels to Congressman Shallenberger, says he spent $1,736 to win the congressional job. But Mr. Andrews certifies everything, including railway fare and hotel feed, and lot of other things which arc not required and which other candidates do not list as expenses. This indicates, however, just how much it costs to run for congress in the Fifth district. Frank A. Peterson of Lincoln, who ran against Congressman Rcavis. spent $471.99. Land Commissioner Shdmway, who has not yet returned from the west where he went before election to attend the funeral of his son-in-law, certifies he spent $201. Governor-elect McKelvie spent $970.30, of which $500 went to the republican state committee, which nobody will accuse of not doing a good job of electing candidates on that ticket. Defendants Win Contest in Brodegaard Lawsuit Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 17. (Special.) The supreme court commission, in an opinion by Commissioner Grant Martin, affirms a judgment of the Douglas county district court, wherein D. M. Soule and others brought action against the Brode gaard Jewelry store and Fred Bro-: degaard, William G. Ure and Paul W. Kuhns to have a receiver ap pointed and asking judgment against the individual defendants for ; the value of certain stock certifi cates of the corporation. The district court h-ld for the de fendants and the higher court sus- H tains the judgment. I Time for Execution of A. B. Cole Again Extended , Lincoln, Nov. 17, (Special.) Governor Neville has granted a sec--,;, onu reprieve f Alson B. Cole, sen- tenced to death for the murder of -- Mrs. Lulu Vogt in Ho rd county." i ne date ot the carrying out of the penalty was set for July 22 origi nally. The governor extended the time to Nov. 22 and now makes an other extension to January 17. The reason of the extension is to. give trie supreme court time to hear 'r the appeal of Allen V. Grammer, found guilty of the same crime. In the trial of the latter, Cole was the chief witness and his testimony will be needed in the.hearing on the ap- J" peal ot tne urammer case. Volunteer Firemen Hold Convention in Fremont Fremont, Neb., Nov. 17. (Spe cial.) Fremont, for the second year in succession, will entertain the .Ne braska Volunteer Firemen's asso ciation. The convention will be held January 14, 15 and 16. Plans for entertaining 500 or more Ne braska fire fighters are being made by the Fremont Fire department and the Commercial club. J. W. Guthrie of Alliance is president of the as sociation. At the convention in Fremont last winter 450 firemen were in attendance. High Wages Paid Boys Shown by Fremont Registration Fremont, Neb., Nov. 17. (Spe cial.) The registration of boys be tween the ages of 15 and 18 years in the Workers' Reserve revealed , that many lads of that age are re- : ceiving considerably higher wages than many Fremont men. One boy, employed at the Northwestern roundhouse, draws a weekly wage of $33.61, his registration card shows. rr Another boy not yet 16 years old receives a salary of $110 a month s railroad clerk. Many others from $100 to $125. LI .3 I T i,,W.''Wt,'--V.'A : VISUM" THE SAME yTT ' H.FENDR1CH.
