MORE THAN 2,000
AT ANNIVERSARY
OF AK-SAR-BEN
Visitors From Surroufrding
Territory Entertained at
Den; Beauty Chorus
Does Itself Proud.
More than 2,000 men filled the
Ak-Sar Ben den last night and
proved that the bigr show of King
Ak-Sar-Ben's 25th anniversary is ?o
good that a torrid temperature is
considered no obstacle .whatever by
those who have a chance to see it.
Stalwart citizens of Kennard, Cal
houn, Bennington, Washington, Mil
lard and contiguous country came
by automobile and railroad and they
proved so sturdy that they "busted"
some of the initiation machinery
just by going through it.
A large representation of former
soldiers and sailors and some offi
cers from Fort Omaha were pres
ent. The show , with its laughing-provoking
three acts laid on Mount
Olympus, Hades and the bottom
of the sea, was put on with a pep
that was better, if possible, than
ever before. The famous beautv
chorus was in fine voice and E.
Buckingham stated privately that a
man who knows said that if Klaw
& Erlanger once heard that chorus
they would draft it to the profes
sional stage.
Principals in Fine Form.
Frank Latenser, "Hank',' Dunn,
Oscar Lieben, George Long, Walter
Adams, Kenneth Reed and the rest
of the principals worked in mid
seson form. The show was declared
a wonder by word, applause and
continued laughter and the initia
tion stunts "button-busters."
"Dan" Butler, prompter, had a
little act staged by himself in the
final scene, where Oscar Lieben
sings a four-line song. Oscar for
got the words at the last two per
formances and as he started to sing
last night, "Dan" handed him the
ditty, all written out in plain print.
Out in the counting house "Dad"
Weaver gloated over a membership
roll which had run up to 3,526. Last
year at this time the members num
bered 1,800. "Remember," said
"Dad," "get in before July 15 or you
can't get in at all."
State Representative Bert Miller
of Kennard was the first speaker
introduced by the silver-tongued
and nimble-witted Charlie Black.
Mr. Miller, among other things,
urged everybody to vote for the
paving bonds and said they would
attend to their paving over in his
county to connect up with Douglas
county.
Col. J. M. Banister spoke for the
American legion, and Capt. "Chick"
McLaughlin, recently returned from
overseas, spoke for the returned
soldiers and sailors.
Next Monday will be Saunders
county night at the den. Big dele
gations from Ashland, Yutan, W
hoo, Mead and other towns as well
as the country will see the big
show.
Ten Recruits Enlist
for Overseas Service;
(lev. Dr. Lowe to Speak
Ten new soldiers enlisted for Un
cle Sam's overseas, army yesterday
at the local recruiting station. The
men came from Omaha and neigh
boring states and will be sent at
once to whichever one of nine coun
tries they have chosen to serve in.
Seven of the men were re-enlistcd.
The infantry was the choice of most
of the men. The total for this dis
trict is now about 205 men enlisted
, since June 16.
Rev. Titus Lowe will speak on
"Opportunities in the Army" this
noon at 12 o'clock on the court
house grounds, following a parade
from the Army building at 11:30
o'clock. The, Chamber of Com
merce drum corps will play martial
strains. A rolling kitchen will be
on exhibition soon to draw the at
tention of prospective soldiers.
Parties will tour the state in autos
during the coming week to obtain
recruits. Four auto squads left De
Moines Monday.
The campaign will be continued
for the rest of the month. It is
being held in five of the recruiting
districts as an experiment in ob
taining enlistments largely through
newspaper publicity. Omaha ranks
seventh in the United States, out
classing several of the larger cfties.

THOTO 'PlAY OFFERING J FOR TODAY
THE Rothapfel Unit program
which is at the Rialto this
fc ' week is composed of five parts,
nragaaine, prelude, epilogue, dramat
ic feature and comedy. All were
produced by Mr. Rothapfel himself.
In addition there is also shown a
Mack Sennett comedy.
"The Woman Thou Gave'st Me,"
a picturization of Hall Caine'f fa
mous novel of the same title, now
showing at the Strand, is a dramatic
problem drama of a woman who is
married to a man whom she de
tests. "Playthings of Passion," starring
Kitty Gordon at the Muse, is a start
ling story of a young society woman
who meets love and adventure while
in the midst of social work in the
tenement districts.
Viola Dana in "Some Bride" at
the Empress can't refrain from flirt
ing with other men. It causes her
all kinds of trouble. and lots of fun
for an audience.
Jimmy Hartigan, dean of all safe
crackers, and Gertie Jones, the pret
tiest, smoothest little thief wlfo ever
laid hands on another woman's dia
mond necklace, learned to their
sorrow that crime didn't pay. Dis
mal vision's of the future haunted
their dreams. Then they decided
to go straight.
Came the wolf in sheep's clothing
and they were robbed of the nest
egg that was to help them along the
straight and narrow path. Monson,
a Wall Sstreet manipulator, wove
his way into their confidence and
out again. With him went their
$30,000 and their opportunity to stay
straight. A decision must be made
without delay. "Pretty Smooth,"
the latest crook photoplay featur
ing inimitable Priscilla Dean, tells
the story of the most amazing situa
tions that actual police records
could provide. It will be seen at
the Brandeis theater the last times
today and tomorrow.
Marv Miles Minter in "A Bach
elor's Wife," at the Sun for the last
times today attempts to straighten
out the love affairs of a girl cousin
gets suspected of being the wife of
the man in the case and the mother
of a pretty baby. It's an awful mix
up but in the end she wins a hus
band of her own.
It takes a good pet to put the
star's name in print, but Madge Ken
nedy contends she has one worthy
of lots of space. It's an Australian
Kaola bear, an animal that resem
bles a cross between a parrot and a
squirrel.
H. B. Warner's next play follow
ing the release of "The Man Who
Turned White," will be "Pagan
Gods."
Here is a true analysis of
STATE OFFERS
OPPORTUNITIES
TO INDIVIDUALS
Governor McKelvie Empha
sizes Importance of Good
Roads in Address to Ad
vertising Legife.
"Nebraska holds out opportunity
to the individual," said Gov. S. R.
McKe'vie, addressing members of
the Advertising-Selling league, in
the banquet room of the Fontenelle
hotel yesterday evening.
The governor refreshed the
memories of his hearers with facts
and figures of Nebraska's com
mercial and educational greatness.
"Let us have a perpetuation of
this opportunity that impels the
star b empire to move westward,",
he continued. He emphasized the
importance of good roads and told
that the legislature appropriated
$10,000,000 in a road-building pro
gram of which 5,000 miles have been
outlined. He predicted that within
ive years this state will have not
less than 1,000 miles of hard-surface
roads outside, of the limits of the
cities and towns.
"State Offers Opportunities.
"Nebraska-can say," he added,
''that she has entered upon a road
building campaign that will make
us all proud."
The governor referred to the
cornridsory teaching of Engljsh,
stating that people from overseas
are encouraged to come to this
state, and when they come here,
they should be encouraged to teach
their children the language of this
country.
"These people come here because
there is opportunity, and few states
oKthe union offer them the educa
tional advantages to be found in
Nebraska," he asserted.
He declared that it is the part of
good judgement to encourage the
development of the potash industry,
of the. natural water power of the
state, and other industries and re
sources. Chosen Honorary Member.
"Legislation may be helpful or
harrrful to a state," he continued.
Nebraska is a safe state in which to
live, so far as legislation is con
cerned," was another statement by
the governor who made one Jf the
best booster talks heard here for
many months. He was elected
an honorary member of the league.
The league's Glee club furnished
the music. L. H. Mattson was re
elected president for anothr year.
C. E. Bradley was elected vice presi
dent and E. L. Droste treasurer.
The following committees were
elected:
Manufacturers Penn Fodrea and

scenario writing. Frank E. Woods,
the supervising director of Para
mount productions, has the follow
ing to sty regarding writers:
"Seventy per cent of the popula
tion writes a a scenario once.
"Sixty-nine of that 70 per cent
receives its scenario back, with re
grets. "One half of one per cent says
its brain child was ruined.
"The other half (minus a frac
tion) never sees its story produced.
"Xhe fraction receives a check
and becomes a regular offender.
"The 65 per cent there
upon says its idea was stolen, its
"idea" being the eternal triangle
with variations; also said 69
per cent wrote on both sides
of the paper with a pen or pencil
and did not enclose stamps for re
turn. "The scenario editor has no
profit in his own company."

from Elinor Fair's press agent, stat

Maids-of-AII-Work Give
Place to Home Assistants
"Home assistants" is the new ap
pellation given to domestics who
will soon supplant the maid-of-all-work
in performing domestic du
ties, according to Miss Beth How
ard, employment secretary of the
Y. W. C. A., who is in charge of the
movement here to arrange a course
in home economics ior girls who
intend to do domestic labor but are
unwilling to bear the stigma hither
to attached to it.
Under the new plan, housemaids
will work but eight hours a day,
will have all the dignity of tfieir
sisters in other lims of employment
and will be allowed to carry the key
to the house. Organizing a union
may be the next step.

IRISH REPUBLIC
PRESIDENT COMES
OUT0FSECLUSI0N
De Valera Greeted by Wildly
Enthusiastic Followers in
New York; "to Speak
for Irish Nation."
New York, June 23. Edward
(Eamonn) de Valera, president of
the Sinn Fein irish republic,
emerged dramatically Monday night
from the seclusion in which he had
kept himself since his arrival in the
United States. In a statement to
the press, at the Waldorf-Astoria
hotel, where he was greeted by
wildly enthusiastic followers, he de
clared he had come to America "to
speak for the Irfth nation."
De Valera, a tall, smooth-faced,
clear-eyed young Irishman, was
born in New York in 1882, but sa;d
he "renounced" his American cit
izenship when he became an Irish
soldier. He declined to tett how he
contrived to reach America, but
said he came here from Boston sev
eral days ago. It was stated that
during his stay in New York he has
beeli living at the Carmelite Priory
in East Twenty-ninth street.
His secretary, H. J. Boland. said
that while in Boston, De Valera en
deavored to arrange an audience
with Cardinal O'Connell, but did
not see him. Prior to that, he said,
he was! in Philadelphia where he
saw Michael J. Ryan, who was a
member of the Irish peace delega
tion r nd Dr. K. J. McCartan. He de
clared De Valera had visited Balti
more where he saw Cardinal Gib
bons and Washington, where he
met several United States senators.
He said that he also paid a visit to
his mother in Rochester, N. Y.
De Valera read his statement to
newspaper men. He desired, he said,
to express the aspirations of the
Irish people exactly as he felt them
and "not as the British propagan
dists" had been quoting him for the
American press. He said he did
not purpose "campaigning" Ahe
United Stages, in the Irish cause,
but that he might go to Washing
ton. Asked if he had been invited
to address the United States sen
ate, said he had not.
The men who established y6ur re
public sought the aid of France,"
read Mr. De Valera, from his state
ment. "We seek the aid of Amer
ica." Boy Arrested for Throwing
Firecrackers at Women
Jack Wcngender, 16 years old,
3218 Charles street, was arrested
last night by Officer Buglewicz at
Twerty-fourth and Decatur streets
and charged with disturbing the
peace. Buglewicz says Wengender
was throwing lighted firecrackers
at women and girls.
