RULES SPECIAL
SESSION CANNOT
BE ASSEMBLED
Attorney General Says Doug
las County Board Can Call
Special Election to
Vote Bonds!
Lincoln, Oct. 1. (Special.) Ac
cording to a ruling of the attorney
general, a special session of the leg
islature cannot be called to pass a
law permitting Douglas county to
vote money to repair the court house
ruined by the mob Sunday.
The attorney general's office says
no such action is necessary because
an act of the session of the legisla
ture of 1913 amended by the 1919
legislature gives the county board
authority to call a special election
for the purpose of voting bonds.
The opinion is based upon a provi
sion in house roll 318.
This section of the statutes ap
pears to limit the amount to be
raised to $100,000, which, in the case
of the Omaha disaster, would hardly
be sufficient. However, another
paragraph of the same section pro
vides that "In . a case where any
bridge, or any public building, thq
property of any county wjthin the
state, be injured or destroyed by
anv person or persons wilfully or
maliciously, it shall be the duty of
the county board to sue for and re
cover such damages."
Pacific Coast Shipyards '
Men Go Out on Strike
San Francisco, Oct." 1. Shipyard
workers in San Francisco, Tacoma,
Portland and Los Angeles struck
today, following the proposed sus
pension of a wage agreement by the
United States shipping board. The
shipping board, in a later announce
ment, said the advanced wage might
be paid if the government were not
forced to meet it in any way.
The shipyard workers at Seattle
did not strike. They received word
from James O'Connel, vice president
of 5 the metal trades division of the
American Federation of Labor, to
remain at work.
The number of jnen on strike in
the shipyards had not been deter
mined early today.

Railway Commissioner
Lincoln, Oct. 1. (Special.) Back
to the simple life, not on a farm, but
to an office in the Bankers' Life
building in Lincoln, was the road
traveled Wednesday by U. G. Pow
ell, for many years rate expert with
the state railway commission, and
Victor E. Wilson, serving as rail

Wilson and will take with them to
their new business Miss Frances
McCall, expert stenographer, who
has been with the commission some
time.
With the going of Commissioner

the commission, but who has been
appointed to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of Mr. Wilson.

Governor Proclaims
"Educational Week"
Lincoln, Neb.. Oct. 1. (Special.)
The week beginning November 3
has been designated "educational
week" by Governor McKelvie, who
has issued the following proclama
tion:.
"Education lies at the foundation
of progress, and Nebraska has al
ways been proud of the progress she
has made through her educational
institutions.
"During the war the profession of
teaching was seriously affected, and
the educational affairs of the state
suffered greatly on account of the
large number of teachers who were
attracted away from the profession.
"From observations that I have
been able to make, I am thoroughly
convinced that the changes and re
forms which are imminent with ref
erence to our educational system
and the teaching profession are sub
jects that should command the im
mediate and thoughtful attention of
all of the people of the state. 1
"Therefore, in order that these
facts may be emphasized, I desire
to designate the week beginning
November 3 as "educational week,"
to be observed throughout all the
state."
Editors Will Meet.
Lincoln, Oct. 1. (Special.) The

Gov. McKelvie Denies
Report Published
In Omaha Newspaper
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 1. (Special.)'
Governor McKelvie has returned
from Omaha, where he went to in
vestigate the damages wrought by
the riot last Sunday night and to
get a first-hand, view of the situa
tion. He denies emphatically that he
went away, as charged by an Omaha
democratic paper, to avoid responsi
bility in case trouble should come,
but says that, on the other hand,
he offered the services of the law
enforcement body if the authorities
there deemed it necessary. He went
to North Platte Saturday to speak
at a county fair, and had a similar
date there today, and between the
two dates he accepted an invitation
to go on a hunt out in the hills.
He effectually settled the contro
versy of who was responsible for
taking action with the War depart
ment to get the federal troops into
Omaha claimed by several different
individuals, and told reporters for
the newspapers that General Wood,
in a speech at Omaha yesterday,
said that the order had been issued
at the request of the governor's of
fice in Lincoln. He commended the
lieutenant governor for taking the
action he did in his absence.
