' Burglars forced entrance Thursday - nirht to the home of Dr. M. Mesro- i pian, 2607 Binney street, and, stole j : a revolver lying on a table in the , " front room before they were fright ened away by the screams of Mrs. "-Mesropian. Dr. Mesropian announced he . would purchase another weapon and depend on his own efforts to appre ' hend the intruders upon a return ,visit. - ' "I shall not report the matter to the police," the physician declared, ; "because my experience heretofore ; v with the department has convinced me that Omaha policemen, from - Commissioner Ringer all the way down the line, are utterly incompe' tent and no good. !; "I appealed to the police a short "while ago when a woman was at- tempting to blackmail me in my of fice. They refused absolutely to v , ".jive me any assistance. "I shall obtain another revolver : and depend on no one but myself to protect my home against future in- vasions of burglars."'

' :" Commissioner Charges Abuse of Mothers- Pension System Unitt Declares County Is Paying Out From $35,000 To ' $40,000 a Year In Pensions To Women Whose Hus-. . bands Have Skipped Out of Jurisdiction of Court. Flagrant abuse of the mothers' pension system and funds of Doug las county is charged by the board of county commissioners, with Com missioner Charles Unitt as the chief spokesman for the complaint. "Husbands have abandoned their wives by the dozen in Douglas county and divorced husbands have skipped out of the jurisdiction of the court to avoid paying alimony, said Mr. Unitt. "The wives become a charge on the county and today we are paying out from $35,000 to $40,000 a year in pensions. Will Take Drastic Steps. "We are going to take drastic steps to bring these recreant hus bands to time and we are going t: pay mothers' pensions only tc those cases where the payment s deserved. . "We have reason to believe that in some cases there is conspiracy between husband and wife to 'work' the pension fund. The husband goes away and the wife comes in and represents herself as destitute and gets a pension. She may be ;n communication with the husband at the time and be getting support hfrom him. He may even come ba-k to see her at intervals. "There are, of course, many de serving cases and we don't want to interfere with those. But we do in tend to jerk the good-for-nothing husbands back to the court's juris diction." Herman Cohen was brought back from Council Bluffs Thursday. He was working in the Hafer Lumber company's yard and making about $20 a week. He had been delinquent in paying his wife's alimony of $8 a month, not having paid anything for acouple of years. The wife was get ting $5 from the mothers' pension. District Judge Redick, before whom Cohen was taken, ordered him to pay the dilinquent alimony and to continue the monthly payments. Mrs. Cohen's name was taken off the pension list. District Judge-Troup, who passes on mothers' pensions, declares that the fund is doing the best it can. "No one wishes more than I to bring recreant husbands to time," he said, "and I shall do all in my power to help in .this. Flays Undertaker Prices. "A flagrant abuse in this connec tion is the prices charged to widows by undertakers. We frequently find some poor woman with half a dozen children who comes in to court with the story of the death of the bread winner. And then we are startled and disgusted to find that the undertaker has charged her $250 or $350 or $450 or even more for the funeral expenses, taking in many cases the last cent she had and leaving her a charge upon the county. "I have sought to find a solution. It might be that a law could be passed to deal with this situation but I don't know just how. These heartless fellows who give a $450 funeral to some obscure man who leaves a wife and children and about $500 insurance ought to be informed somehow that they will not be permitted to continue such operations. New York passed a law to deal with a similar situation sev eral years ago and I shall look that up." Miss Esther Ann Johnson who has charge of investigating and re porting on applicants for and hold ers of mothers' pensions, says about 160 are now receiving pensions in Douglas county.

Mount Clemens, Mich., May 16. Attorney Alfred J. Murphy today outlined the contentions of Henry ford in his million dollar libel suit against the Chicago Daily Tribune. Mr. Murphy read several editorials from the issues of the Tribune pub lished in 1916 and sought to show that the Tribune's advocacy of American intervention in Mexico was due to selfish reasons. He said that witnesses and evi dence for the plaintiff would show the influence of the Standard Oil and the International Harvester companies in shaping the Tribune's policy regarding Mexico. He said that the influence could be traced to a relationship between the McCormick family of the Trib une and the McCormick family of the International Harvester com pany. Attacks Mrs. Patterson. Mr. Murphy said that the plain tiff would produce evidence to show that Mrs. Eleanor Patterson, who with -her sister, Mrs. Katherine Mc Cormick, controls the stock of the Tribune company, maintains a resi dence in Washington and that in 1916 when the alleged libelous edi torial was published, Mrs. Patter son was on friendly social terms with Ambassador Von Bernstoff and that she was not on such terms with Ambassador Spring-Rice, rep resenting Great Britain, nor with the ambassadors of countries allied With Great Britain in the war. He pictured Mr. Ford, who with his son, Edsel, was present, as one who, while he hoped for the aboli tion of war, gave all the resources of his great plants without profit to the government the lawyer said, and thus did much toward the win ning of the war. Ridicules Claims. , Weymouth Kirkland of counsel for the Tribune, who spoke in the afternoon, had not concluded when court adjourned until next Monday. He will resume, then, after which the question of scope of evidence will be argued by counsel. Mr. Kirkland, in his remarks, ridiculed 'the claims of the com plaint and claimed not only justifi cation of its comment on Mr. Ford in which he was called an anarchist and accused of ignorance, but as serted that as Mr. Ford's wealth, po sition and pacifist propaganda had made him a public character, it was the plain duty of the newspaper to call him to account for a policy which, in the Tribune's opinion, would render the country impotent while Europe was in flames and anarchy reigned south of the Rio Grande.

Mac farland, charging them with conspiracy and asking an injunction to keep them from collecting any money from him on judgment given by the courts or that may be given in the future. ' This is another chapter in the Von Dorn troubles which have been cropping up in the courts since December 4. 1908, when she secured a divorce, custody of their son, John fc.. V on Dorn, jr., and $150 alimony. Mr. Von Dorn says he settled with his former wife at that time by giving her a piece of property worth $3,000 and that he gave her $6,000 later.

But since that time his former wife and Attorney Macfarland, he alleges, have issued executions, levied on his property and in other ways harrassed him. Hear "Woman's" Wild Cry for Help; Rush to Rescue, Find Sea Lion Los Angeles, Calif. It was a wild meht off Point Firmin.

Just think of a sedate high school principal "busting out" as a costume designerl i hat s what Principal B. F. Brown of the Lake View hieh school, has done, and all the pretty girls in his school (and they're all pretty) are "falling" for his models and saying "isn't this collar iust too perfectly ducky" and all that. Last fall Mr. Rrown had an idea about school frocks for the girls, a : j : , , uimu, insecure ana masculine iaea He thought the pupils would look nicer, worry less about fineries, and remove some of the pressure froth dad's bankroll if they wore uniforms. He talked it over with some of the girls and, funny to relate, they agreed with him. Followed a con ference of girls, mothers and club women, and Mr. Brown shrank into a small corner while the others dis cussed tucks, folds, gores, biases, piaids, middies, collars and other dudas. When it seemed safe Mr. Brown emerged from his hiding place and found that they had decided on a one-piece frock with the upper part resembling a middy blouse, and sailor collar and tie. On each sleeve is to be an inverted chevron, like a service stripe, or wound stripe, indicating the year of the high school class of the wearer one stripe for freshmen, two for 'sophs," and so on.

The country is now in such general agreement as to the basic principles of railroad legislation that the work of con gress ought to be comparatively easy."
