OP HIS PARTNER
Tells Police Name of Lad Who
Was With Him When
Shot by an Officer.
For the first time in all his esca
pades Tony ' Sculla, 19-year-old
burglar who was shot and seriously
wounded by Policeman Bclar early
Saturday morning after breaking
into the office of C. W. Hull com
pany, Twentieth and Izard streets,
squealed on the identity of his part
ner. Following his confession Sunday
morning, detectives arrested Millard
Bauchtnan, 18 years old, guest at the
Warden hotel; Sixteenth and Cuming
streets.
Though still suffering; from bird
shot wounds in the back and legs,
Sculla still mumbles in his cell:
"If I hadn't a thrown away my gun.
I'd a sure winged one of you dicks
(argot for detective)."
Steal Protcctograph.
According to the confession of
Sculla and Bauchman, both boys had
broken into the office of Bullard,
Hoagland & Benedict Lumber com
pany, across the street from Hulls,
and had taken a protectograph. It
was when they broke glass in a
front window of the C W. Hull
company that the police were noti
fied. Bauchman stood guard near
the coal yard gate while Sculla was
ransacking the office. Sculla es
caped through a rear window and
ran through an alley when police
arrived. He dropped his gun in the
coal yard. Policeman Bolar shot
twice at him with a shotgun, and
Sculla fell, face downward, in the
weeds of a vacant' lot near Nine
teenth and Nicholas streets. Detec
tive Baughman fired one shot at
Bauchman who escaped north on
Twentieth street.
Was Out on Bonds.
Sculla was out on bonds pending
the hearing of a case of breaking
and entering against him in connec
tion with the burglary of the barber
shop of Joe Janous, 1826 Sherman
avenue, three months ago. His part
ner, Roy Young, 1812 Charles street,
was shot and killed by a civilian in
attempting escape from the place.
Police say that in all the times the
youth has been arrested for various
offenses he has refused to divulge
the identity of his partner.

LEGAL NOTICES
Col. Ruppert Advises
Ban Johnson to Resign
Presidency of League
New York, Sept. 13. If Ban John
son, American league president, has
any sense whatever of the fitness
or the unfitness of things, he'll quit
his job, was the opinion expressed
by Colonel Ruppert, part owner of
the New York Yankees.
Johnson's throne is about to top
ple, anyway, according to Ruppert,
and abdication now would be a time
ly act
The legal action started by the
Yankee owners to prevent Ban from
interfering with Pitcher Carl Mays
ended with a hearing before Referee
George Gillespie. The testimony is
now in the hands of Supreme Court
Justice Wagner. The final hearing
brought a statement from Johnson
that he owned stock in the Boston
team as well as the Cleveland team.
"Johnson should resign after these
disclosures," Ruppert said. "He has
.t long-time contract and it would be
hard to unseat him, but the club
owners, after hearing the methods
pursued by Johnson in directing the
league affairs and after hearing that
he owns stock in several clubs, cer
tainly will take action to curb his
power and make the board of direc
tors more than a figurehead.

The Council Bluffs Longeways de
feated the Omaha Red Sox, local
colored team, in both games of a
double-header at Rourke park Sun
day afternoon, winning the first, 13
to 2, and the second, 7 to 2, in seven
innings.
The Red Sox took the lead in the
first inning of the first game, but
fell behind in the second frame and
was hardly in the game from that
time on. The second contest was a
better game, but the superior play
ing of the Bluffs boys gave them an
easy victory.
The star batter for the Red Sox
was Knight, a pitcher, who poked
out a three-bagger in the first game
In his other times at bat he hit the
ball, but always into a fielder's
hands. Younfc, Hansen, Lockwood
and Claber staffed at bat for the
Longeways. The scores:

TO AID JEWISH
WAR SUFFERERS
Campaign to Secure $400,000
in Nebraska for Victims
of War to Continue
Throughout Week.
The fund-raising campaign of the
Nebraska Jewish War Relief com
mittee for the benefit of Jewish war
sufferers in Poland, Galicia, Lithu
ania and other European countries,
will be started today.
Nebraska's quota of a national
fund of $.55,000,000 is $400,000. Oma
ha headquarters will be maintained
all week in the hut on the court
house lawn. George Brandeis, Oma
ha merchant, is state treasurer, to
whom funds may be sent, or they
may be addressed to the committee
Buy Food and Clothing.
This fund has been endorsed by
President Wilson, Vice President
Marshall, Cardinal Gibbons, Gov
ernor McKelvie and many other men
of national and state prominence.
Governor McKelvie has issued a
proclamation designating this week
as "Jewish War Relief Week."
The fund which will be raised
throughout the country this week
will be used to buy food and cloth
ing to alleviate the distress of Jews
in eastern Europe. It has been esti
mated that 6.000,000 have been be
reft of their homes by the war.
First Jewish Appeal.
This is the first general appeal
which has been made by the Jews
of this country for the assistance
of Jews across the Atlantic. For
mer assistance has been rendered by
the Jews themselves, but the need
is so great and the cause so worthy
that they deem it is of sufficient
importance to make this general ap
peal, which they are confident will
meet with generous response. Her
bert Hoover has said that thousands
of these unfortunate people will die
during the coming winter unless aid
is sent to them.
A large advisory committee of
Omaha business men of all ranks
and creeds has been organized to
promote the local drive. This com
mittee was organized upon the call
of W. W. Head, John L. Kennedy,
T. C. Byrne and W. D. McHugh.
The Omaha Hebrew club was one
of the first organizations to an
nounce subscriptions. Their contri
bution was $1,000.

HARVEST HOME
DAY OBSERVED
BY CHURCHES
Ancient Custom of Giving
Thanks for Bountiful Crops
Revived by Omaha Ministers.
"Harvest home day" was observed
in several Omaha churches yester
day. This is an ancient custom, still
kept, but more generally in the east
than it is here. At St Mark's Eng
lish Lutheran church the altar and
pulpit were decorated with sheaves
of wheat, corn stalks, pumpkins, ap
ples and other grains and fruits, and
the morning service was one of
thanksgiving to God for the bounti
ful harvest with which the land has
been blessed. Rev. W. I. Guss, the
pastor, preached a special sermon at
the morning service.
Several churches had their "rally
day" yesterday, when the members
who have been absent on vacations
during the summer were welcomed
back, and plans were made for the
winter campaign of the church and
its allied organizations. Most of
the churches of the city are now
back on their winter schedules, with
services both morning and evening.

Bobs Rescues Men Adrift in
Lifeboat After U-Boat
Sank Warship.
London, Sept. R The National
Canine Defense league has awarded
its silver medal to "Bobs," a fox
terrier, for saving ten lives in the
following circumstances, which, for
obvious reasons, have not been dis
closed hitherto:
On December 23. 1917. H. M. S.
Tornado was patrolling, with several
other destroyers, off the Dutch coast
when she was attacked by two Ger
man submarines, one on each side of
her; both fired, and unfortunately
both torpedoes reached their objec
tive. She sank in a few minutes,
and only two officers and eight men
were able to get into the "Carley"
floats.
One of the survivors, Petty Officer '
James Ireland, noticed the ship's '
mascot, "Bobs," swimming by the
float, and he managed to get him
safely aboard. After being adrift for
tour hours the survivors were quite
exhausted.
H. M. S. Radiant, one of the de
stroyers, was on the point ot return
ing after a fruitless search in the
darkness, when one of her crew was
attracted by the persistent barking
of the dog A boat was lowered and
proceeded in the direction of the
sound, and eventually found the sur
vivors, half frozen and unconscious.
