Surety bonding companies are re fusing to write bonds for policemen, on account of being required to de fend them in suits brought by citi zens. Various actions brought against policemen recently have caused the bonding companies to be wary. They are finding that this business is not profitable. "A policeman appointed within the last few weeks told me Fri day that a surety company refused to write a bond for him." stated City Attorney Weaver. "The annual pre mium is only $5 and the city coun cil has refused to defend policemen against whom charges are brought. During the summer two policemen asked the council to direct the city legal department to defend them, and the council refused. Evidently the surety companies are finding that the bonding of policemen is not desirable business." Practice for Years. It has been the practice for years for surety companies to write bonds for policemen, and there has been competition for the business. The policemen have paid $5 a year each lor their bonds. A few weeks ago B. S. Baker, for ihe policemen, filed a claim with the council for more than $8,000 on the grounds that the city should have paid for these bonds. The council rejected the claim. The city attor ney has examined the statutes and holds that personal bonds offered by policemen may be accepted by the city. Special Provision Made. One section of the statutes reads that all officers shall furnish surety bonds and that the city shall pay the premiums. The city attorney finds a special statutory provision which he contends authorizes per sonal bonds for policemen. The new policman who was re fused a surety bond by a local com pany this week has offered Mr. Weaver a personal bond for ap proval. D'Annunzio, Poet-Aviator, Takes Grenadiers to Fiums Rome, Sept. 13.

Practical Joker Fills Man's Clothes With Straw and Shoots It 100 Feet Into the Air by Big Yellowstone Park Geyser. Yellowstone. Mont.. Sent. 13. Someone placed a dummy in the mouth of Old Faithful geyser in Yel lowstone park and gave tourists the thrill of their fashionable lives when the lifelike fieure was shot 100 feet in the air a few nights ago. Here is the picture of Miss Ruth Spence of Madison, Neb., well known 5n Omaha. It was snaoDed as she was investigating the creater of the giant geyser. Not that there is the slightest con nection between the two paragraph-However When Old Faithful plays at night, it is illuminated by the rays of a big searchlight mounted on the Inn and makes a most wonderful sight draw ing hundreds of tourists to watch it. On the fateful night, when the huge column of boiling water spouted a human figure could be seen in the searchlight's glare, shot heavenward on it's crest. Then the light went out. The tourists stood rooted to the spot fascinated with horror. When Old Faithful subsided they rushed forward with searchlights to rescue the unfortunate victim, only to find a drenched pile of straw-filled clothes. Who did it? That's the mystery cf Yellowstone. And Miss Spence, who explored the National park with several col lege girl pals can shed no light on it.
