WARD M. BURGESS
NEW PRESIDENT
OF NEB. POWER CO.
Succeeds General Harries,
Head of Cdmparv, for Num
ber of Years, Who Still
Remains Director.
i
Ward M. Burgess was yesterday
elected president of the Nebraska
Power Co. Mr. Burgess was seen
after the meeting of the board of
directors, and said: (
General Harries, who has been
president of the Nebraska Power
Co. for a number of years, found his
present and future engagements
such as to compel him to decline to
continue as president of the com
pany. He still remains director.
Mr. Davidson and the board
requested me to accept the position
of president, and to assume the re
sponsibilities. "'As vice president and director
I have been actively interested in
its operations and feel a legitimate
pride in its accomplishments and in
the esteem on the part of the public
which this company has earned and
enjoys. It is the plan of the com
pany to make Omaha an electrical
center for supplying not only this
city, but tributary territory with
electrical service. Therefore, I ac
cepted this position and responsibil
ity with a purpose of carrying out
these ambitious plans.
"Jmies E. Davidson, vice presi
dent and general manager, has built
up a splendid organization and with
the expenditure upon the plant of
over $2,000,000 in the last two years,
has brought the plant to a high
state of efficiency. I have worked
with Mr. Davidson in close associ
ation ever since his arrival here,
and our aim will be to render to
the public efficient service, and to
keep the plant and property con
tinually adequate to the growth of
the community."
Restrain Husband
From Abusing Wife
Suing for Divorce
An injunction to restrain William
Gillette from interfering with his
wife, Olive Gillette, pending deci
sion in her suit for divorce was
granted yesterday by District Judge
Troup.
Mrs. Gillette filed suit for divorce
yesterday, a'.'eging her husband
struck her with his fists, bruised and
cioked her in their apartment, No.
512, The Morris, last Wednesday.
She left the apartment that day and
is now living with her mother at
Fortieth street and Redick avenue.
She alleges that her husband has
been in the habit of beating, kicking
and choking her since their mar
riage October 28, 1918, and she said
she feared he would come to the
home of her mother and do her bod
ily harm.
She said he earns about ?J00 a
month and she asks alimony.
Mrs. Gillette, 'before her marriage
was Miss Alice Caillier, daughter of
Mrs. Ada Caillier.
Mr. Gillette 4s a stock salesman.
Judge Makes Note of
Retail Store That
Sells Corset for $2
Judge Arthur E. Baldwin in muni
cipal court yesterday expressed sur
prise that a woman could buy a cor
set in Omaha for $2, meaning a cor
set that she could wear with physi
:al comfort and mental poise,
"I did not know that it was pos
sible to buy a corset in Omaha for
$2. I'll have to make a note of
that store," remarked the court.
The incident occurred during an
action against Ray J. Mayer for
$113.63, the amount of a bill ren
dered by a local store for goods
bought by Mrs. Mayer, who obtained
a divorce last week. A jury of six
men brought in a verdict which
held the former husband liable for
this unpaid bill.
In the list of items was one corset,
$2. Another item was a pair of hose,
$2, and another item was a pair of
hose, 59 cents. On the witness
stand the divorced husband testified
that in his opinion the $2 corset
was extravagant.
