Rural Schools of
West Neb raska Are
Without Teachers
Lincoln, Sept. S. Many rural
schools in western Nebraska coun
ies have not yet secured teachers
for the fall and winter terms and
will not be able to open at the time
set, according to reports reaching the
state superintendent's office. Lincoln,
Perkins and Keith counties afe lack
ing about "two dozen apiece, and un
less they are supplied from the out
side it will not be possible to keep
all the schools going.
Chase and Hayes are other coun
ties where the shortage of pedagogic
material exists. In the latter county
the teachers' institute was abandoned
some weeks ago because there were
not enough present to make it worth
while.
Some districts lacking1 teachers
may send their children to adjoin
ing districts which are more for
tunate. It is probable that a com
bination of two or three schools will
be necessary in various localities.
"Western Nebraska is not alone in
facing a teacher shortage, though it
is not so marked in other parts of
the state. Cass county, on the east
ern border, is having trouble along
this line.

Ex-Mayor Dahlman
Visitor at Capitol
(From a Staff Corrwipouilrnt.)
Lincoln, Sept 5. James C. Dahl
man, former mayor of Omaha, now
an inspector for the secret service
and police department of the United
States railway administration,- was
a vistor at the capitol Friday, but
said he had no designs of any kind
on the state house.

know whether he was really running
for mayor of Omaha or not as a can
didate against Mayor Ed P. Smith

naming him as one of four to replace
that number of city commissioners
was filed recently, but the Omaha
city clerk held it insufficient and has
also held that the time for filing
more petitions' has elapsed.

Cole Makes, Unique
Plea in Last Effort
to Save His Life
Lincoln, Sept. 5. (Special.) That
the district court of Howard county
erred in not examining witnesses to
determine whether Alson B. Cole's
crime was murder in the first orthe
second degree, or manslaughter, and
instead, instructed the jury to return
a verdict of murder in the first de
gree, is the argument made by Cole's
attorney in a brief filed in the su
preme court, supporting the appli
cation of his client for a writ of
habeas corpus.
Statutory citations are given in
support of the contention that the
court could not legally determine
the degree of guilt except by the
testimony of witnesses. In the
Howard county trial Cole entered a
plea of "guilty" and his written con
fession was before the court. Judge
Stewart refused the writ of habeas
corpus on the theory that the facts
thus adduced were sufficient to es
tablish the crime of first degree
murder.
This proceeding is Cole's last
chance to prevent the execution of
the death sentence imposed upon
him for killing Mrs. Lulu Vogt. He
does not deny he committed the
deed and no appeal was taken from
his conviction.
The supreme court sustained the
death sentence in the case of Allen
V. Grammer, who was convicted as
Cole's accessory, and Governor Mc
Kelvie declined to interfere with its
decree.
Civil Service Rules
May Prevail Despite
Hitchcock's Efforts
Fremont, Neb., Sept 5. (Special
Telegram.) Fremont business men,
including leading democrats and re
publicans, who sent telegrams 'to
Senator Hitchcock a week ago pro
testing against the appointment of
Wallace Wilson as postmaster for
Fremont, have received a circular
letter informing them that the name
of Mr. Wilson had been recom
mended by the Nebraska senator in
a previous letter to a group of dem
ocrats who wrote to Senator Hitch
cock recommending the appoint
ment of John Martin, one of the ap
plicants who failed by a narrow
margin to receive a passing grade.
The senator said that there were
only three eligibles and that as
Frank Fuhlroot, acting postmaster,
is a republican, he would not be con
sidered. This left Wilson and P.
H. Larson.
Fremont business men generally
strongly protest against the appoint
ment of Wilson. Former Congress
man Dan V. Stephens, who was in
Washington last week, said that he
was informed that the civil service
rules will prevail.
