IN AUTO SMASH
AND BADLY HURT
Lawyer Injured WhUe in Car
With Client, Who Met
With Two Accidents
. in One Day.
At Fourteenth and Howard
streets Friday afternoon, while driv
ingan automobile, H. H. Wehrli,
2515 North Sixty-third street, ran
down a Boy Scout. Nicholas
iichutze, 12 years old, 3327 Seward
street. Wehrli was intoxicated at
the time.
When takeji to the police station,
following his arrest on a charge of
intoxication and reckless driving,
Wehrli, it is said, declared "The
Schutze boy ought to have had his
neck broken," and then he was
placed in jail to sobor up.
- About six hours later Julius S.
Cooley, police court lawyer, succeed
ed in obtaining Wehrli's release on a
$600 bond.
Cooley promised police officers to
see his client safely home, and set
out with Wehrli in the latter's ma
chine for the North Sixty-third
street house.
Cooley Caught in Wreck.
At Thirty-eighth and Farnam
streets west-bound Farnam car 1024.
in charge of Motorman Hill and
Conductor Stewart, hit Wehril's ma
chine, almost totally wrecking it.
Cooley was severely injured in the
accident. He suffered a broken col
lar bone, laceration of the lower eye
lid, contusion of the eye and lacera
tion of the lower lip.
When Police Surgeon Edstrom ar
rived, Cooley's face was smeared
with blood and his clothing saturat
ed. He was partially insensible.
Friend had placed him in an auto
mobile. Wehrrl wais cut above the right
eye. Both men were taken to the
police station where their injuries
were dressed.
Wehrli says he was driving across
Farnam street at a speed of about
10 miles an hour when the accident
occurred. He had turned out of She
way of an east-bound car and did
not see the one approaching from
the west, which he says must have
been speeding at a rate of SO miles
an hour, judging from the force of
the impact. Cooley was thrown ful
ly 20 feet from the automobile.
Result of Helping Friend.
"That's what comes of trying to
get a friend out of trouble," Cooley
said when he regained a measure of
consciousness.
Cooley showed remarkable forti
tude for one of his years-S and
did not complain of his injuries
while awaiting medical attention or
after they had been dressed. He
said nothing whatsoever of any pain

Jn August, 1862, before he was 21
years old, he enlisted in the 88th
Indiana regiment as a private. This
regiment, recruited at Fort Wayne,
Ind. was hurried into action and was
in many of the liloodiest battles of
the war.
Mr. Thomas soon showed the
finest mettle of bravery and in recog
nition of several heroic deeds he
was raised from the ranks to lieu
tenant and then to captain. He par
ticipated in the terrible charge up
the Cumberland mountains in face
of the "jackass batteries." He was
in the battle of Lookout mountain
and at Chickamauga, Missionary
Ridge, Kenesaw Mountain, Burnt
Hickory and many other engage
ments. He inarched with Sherman
from Atlanta to the sea.
At the close of the war Captain
Thomas led his company in the his
toric march down Pennsylvania
ave., Washington, in the grand re
view of the Union veterans.
His first venture into the far west
was made in 1867, when he came to
Des Moines, la. The next year he
taught in the high school in Butler,
Ind. With the money earned there
he went through the law school of
in his arm on the way to police sta
tion and only on examination did
Dr. Edstrom learn it das fractured.
Tfie Schutze boy, hit earlier in

tured arm and several body contu
sions and was taken to Lord Lister
hospital wlvere Pr. Johnson dressed
his injuries. The young scout had
been escourting an aged man across
the street when he -was struck.
Wehrli will appear in police court
this, morning. Cooley will represent
him and promises to be on hand.
Though rather badly battered, I'm
still in the ring," Cooley remarked
just prior to setting out from police
station for home.

Dexter L. Thomas.
the University of Michigan and was
admitted to the bar. He came west
and arrived in Omaha April 23, 1870.
In October, 1870. having establish
ed himself in Omaha in the law and
real estate business, he made a trip
to Ann Arbor and was married to
Miss Frances I. Jefferies.
Mr. Thomas has built scores of
houses in Omaha and engaged in
large real estate dealings. He was
also deeply interested in religious
work. He established "Grace Mis

AT THE
THEATERS
w1
ITH today's performances the
r i, l c
vyi fiicuui s &ca:uu ur vaude
ville comes to a close. The
curtain this evening rises at 8
o'clock. No bill of the theatrical
years has offered a more pleasing
or more artistic feature than the
stellar offering of the concluding
show. It is headed by Theodore
Kosloff and his Russian ballet. An
other charming element of the bill
is the work of Grace DeMar. Her
humor and her light comedy meth
od distinguish her as especially de
lightful. Another act to score a
decided hit is the singing and piano
number contributed by Florence
Hobson and Eileen Beatty. The
black face skit, "Over There," is
laughingly contributed by Coakley
and Dunlevy.
"A surprise," by Chic and Tiny
Harvey, at the 'Empress, creates a
veritable riot of laughter. Bert
Lewis has a magnetic, laughing per
sonality and wins favor with the au
dience from the minute he steps on
the stage until his last encore. Flay
ing thei game was the divertise
ment of those in "Modern Hus
bands," Henry B. Walthall's latest
production which will be shown at
the Empress for fhe last times to
day. "Destiny," which will be shown at
the Brandeis theater the last times
today, from 1 p. m. to 7 p. m. con
tijuious, tells of the conflict in the
Burton family. Hamilton, Burton,
the son, is fired with ambition. He
longs to conquer, to achieve wealth
and power. Mary, his sister, coun
sels that they remain on the farm
and make sure of the happiness that
is already theirs, rather than reach
out for more ambitious things-After-the
fashion of a number of
recent stage successes, "Destiny"
shows the results that would follow
both choices. The one conclusion is
tragic, the other "happy." So one
may take with him from the theater
whatever he chooses.
"A Marriage of Convenience,"
which Henry Miller and Ruth Chat
terton will present at the Brandeis
theater Monday and Tuesday, with
a special matinee Tuesday after
noon, is the story, in a word, of a
bride and groom who fall in love
after marriage, not before. The
count weds his countess, just out of
a convent, and finds that she has
had a flirtation witrTthe Chevalier
de Valcles. He gives the chevalier
full opportunity to pursue his bride
after her marriage, and himself has
an affair with a certain marquise,
only to find that he is actually jeal
ous of his convent-bred wife, and

GERMAN AGENTS
PLOT TO REGAIN
FOREIGN TRADE
Try to Force Pro-German
Revolutions and Elections
In South American Coun
tries, Doctor Says.
(Staff Correspondent Fnlvtrsal Service.)
New Orleans, La., May 30. Ger
man agents are again showing their
heads above the political and com
mercial surface of Central America,
according to Dr. J. M. Woodward,
an American physician with head
quarters in Guatemala City, capital
of Guatemala, who is in New Or
leans en route on his first visit in
20 years to his former home in St.
Louis, Mo. Doctor Woodward has
spent two decades in Guatemala and
for the past seven years has been
private physician to President Es
trada Cabrera, of that country, so
that his opportuities for first hand
knowledge of the situation in Guate
mala and other of the Central Amer-,
ican republics is excellent.
"Three revolutions and one im
portant election are on the tapis in
as many countries of Central Amer
ica," said Dr. Woodward at a down
town hotel here. "In each of the
revolutions and in the electoral cam
paign German ajrents are taking
part, hoping that, by the overthrow
of present presidents, or by the elec
tion of one friendly to them they
may regain some of the political in
fluence they lost in those countries
when the kaiser started the Euro
pean war.
Hope to Save Property.
"They also are plotting to get back
more than half a billion dollars
worth of German property con
fiscated by several of the Central
American governments when they
entered the war on the side of the
allies. Besides this, these German
agents hope to get control of the
majority of the export and import
trade of these countries which they
held before the war, and, therefore,
prevent the United States from ab
sorbing the valuable commerce of tbe
15,000,000 people who inhabit Amer
ica. "There are open revolutions in
Costa Rica and in Venezuela. The
one in Costa Rica, headed by Julius
Acosta, probably will succeed in
ousting President Tinoco as he is in
bad with the Washington govern
ment, yet he is decidedly pro-ally,
and friendly to the American people,
while Acosta and the other revolu
tionary leaders are being supplied
with funds from the Mohler com
pany, a German firm whose import
and export trade in Costa Rica alone
was worth nearly $14,000,000 a year
before the war. Tinoco has not been
a good president for the country,
but he is better than a president
who will favor German firms in trade
and German agents in international
politics there.
Hit by Automobile.
Sam Zernovsky, 1827 North Thirty-third
street, independent ice
dealer, was hit by an auto driven
by H. P. Kleburg, '3214 Corby street,
Friday afternoon and suffered con
tusions of the left knee "and left
side. He was picked up by Miss
Gisberg, 2202 North Nineteenth
street, and later was taken to the
police station, where his injuries,
not serious, were dressed.
Faints While in Park.
Mrs. Jeanette Foley, 1805 Corby
street. 65 years old, fainted in Hans
corn park Friday afternoon. Miss
Adele Henriksen, Ford hospital
graduate nurse, rendered first aid un
til the arrival of Dr. Johnson, police
surgeon, who attended to the woman
and had her taken home.
she, too, it seems, is jealous of her
husband. For a moment scandal is
threatened, but the brusque old gen
eral, uncle to both, arrived in time
to set the couple on the right road.
Four of the best-known scenarists
in the country exercised their com
bined talents on the script of "The
Blinding Trail," Monroe Salisbury's
great Universal production, -which
will show at the Brandeis tomorrow
and again Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday. Thi original story was
written by Stuart Paton and John
B. Clymer, was translated into
screen form by Elliott J. Clawson,
Waldemar Young, Elmer Ellsworth
and Paul Powell. All of Monroe
Salisbury's dramatic power is su
perbly applied in this vehicle of the
north woods, presenting him in the
character of a blind lumber boss.
