THE BEE: OMAHA. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1919. FATE OF COUNTY RECORDS RESTS WITH PERNOR Special Session Only Hope for Restoration of Court House No Other Way to Get Money. Though four days have passed . since the consultation of county of ficials with Governor McKelvie and Attorney General Davis in County Attorney Shotwell's office regarding the calling of a special session of the legislature, no word has beep re ceived regarding this contemplated action. A special session is considered im perative to get funds to rebuild the court house and restore the county records, and county officials declare they cannot understand the gover nor's delay in calling the legislature together. They are waiting in hourly hope of word that the governor will call the session, though at the confer ence he did not seem to be inclined to do so. Only Way to Get Money. "That is the only way to get the money so badly needed," declared Sophus Neble, chairman of the board of county commissioners. "If we don't get that money and get it soon we will board up the ruined offices and let the court house stand as it is until the money is on hand. We can't take chances. "We took $10,000 temporarily from the general fund. That is all e can get. It is already nearly used up just in getting temporary windows put in the court house and the absolutely necessary work done.' "I believe, from all I have heard, that it will cost from $250,000 to $500,000 just to restore the burned county records. There is no way to supply this money except by special act of the legislature." Election Would Fail. Mr. Neble declared that if the proposition for $1,000,000 bonds to restore the court house and records were submitted to the vote of the people it would likely-fail to carry. "At the special election, Novem ber 4," he said, "the people will be asked to vote $5,000,000 school bonds, $2,000,000 sewer bonds and $100,000 jail bonds. If you add $1,000,000 or more bonds for re building the court house, especially with the spirit that is abroad now, I have serious doubts whether it would be carried. Besides, the peo ple have just voted $3,000,000 high way improvement bonds for the county." Criticism of City Officials Very Bad Policy, Says W.CT.U. Resolutions expressing indig nation at any atteirfpt to criticise the citv administration, whether in newspapers, on the stage or else where, have been passed by the West Side Women's Christian Tem perance union, as follows: Whereas: The West Side WV C. T. U., utterly deplores the events of last Sunday's riot, and are heartily in sympathy with the administration of Omaha to the extent of rigid en forcement of law and order. "And as loyal citizens of this city, we are against publications of articles in newspapers and theatrical performances tending to ridicule our city officials and make a mockery of the prohibition law. lhat it incites "race" prejudice and contempt for tht statutes of Nebraska and the constitution of the United States. "We, at an organization of Christian women, will work to se cure the passage of a law making the crime (such as this negro was charged with) punishable by death, and so try to eliminate the terrible character of this said criminal" Omaha Will Be One of Stopping Places on World Aerial Derby The committee in charge of the plans to organize an aerial derby race around the world will be in Omaha on October 18, according to a telegram received yesterday by the Chamber of Commerce from Maj. Charles J. Glidden, a member of the committee. Benjamin Killman and Commo ilnn T nut TV Rmimnn will accom pany Major Glidden.

Gilchrist, real estate man, who had themselves arrested Sunday after noon after getting into an argument and fighting over a friendly game of checker, shook hands and "made up" in police eourt yesterday and were discharged by Acting Police v Judge Holmes. Both men displayed scars of the "battle" and Gilchrist suggested yesterday that they both be fined, but that Burke be fined 25 cents more because, he said. Burke struck the first blow. Burke aid he was going to have Gilchrist pay a fine if he had to pay one himself. Visiting Students Express Enthusiasm Over Gate City Visiting students from the Iowa State college at Ames, visited the Grain Exchange yesterday.

My Heart and My Husband ADELE GARRISON'S New Phase of "Revelations of a Wife" The Question That Tormented Madge. As my husband's lips sought mine in a long kiss of reconcilliation there came to me in a flash of illumina tive understanding th realization of what it had cost Dicky's stubborn pride to come back to me after the determined stand he had taken con cerning my refusal to tell him the reason for my emotion over the newspaper the morning after Milly Stockbridge's death. With a sudden reckless fear of consequences I resolved to emulate his generosity. I would at the first opportunity give him the informa tion he had demanded. Not that I meant to tell him the whole story of poor Milly Stock bridge's fiendish, unreasoning jealousy. Woman-like I made mental reservations in my contem platedi revelation, for I feared the effect of his hearing the whole un pleasant tale. But I was sure that in the interval which must elapse before Dicky and I could be alone long enough for any extended confi dential talk I could map out a story whjch would satisfy his wounded vanity at my reticence and yet leave untold the unpleasant details it was advisible he should not know. I stirred in his arms, the clasp of which fairly hurt me, so rough and compelling was it, and put my lips against his ear. . "Dicky, dear," I whispered softly, "don't think you are the only one who is going to be so generous. I I will tell you about that morn ing just as soon as we get a chance to be alone." He held me off, looked at me smil ing. "So there was something after all," he said quizzically. Then voice and face sobered suddenly: "Please remember that I am not asking your confidence," he said quietly. "I know," I said remorsefully, for there was that in his voice which told how sorely I had hurt him. "But I want to give it to you." Why Does Dicky Color? He kissed me again, not roughly this time, but with infinite tender ness, then realeased me then picked up Junior, who crowed delightedly te being taken into "his father's strong arms. "I believe the little beggar actu ally knows me!" he beamed, raising the baby high above his head. "Of course he knows you," I re turned, indignation in my voice at this impled doubt of our year-old baby's metal suoeroritv. Dicky laughed, his old lazy, teas ing laugh, which told me that whatever tension had been in our interview was gone. I settled my hat sedately, tucked into place some stray strands of hair. "A bit rumpled, aren't you?" Dicky said slyly. "Never mind, Lil won't care." The mention of one of my guests made me think a bit apprehensively of the others. "Did you sjv the Fa rhx girls were here?" t asked Did I fancy it or did Dicky coior a bit beneath his tan? "Leila is," he said. "Come down with Lillian Marion and me" "Oh! Why didn t Edith come too?" I tried to make my voice ex press genuine regret and failed mis erably. I gained the knowledge in the comprehending look that Dicky gave me. "She had another engagement, something she couldn't break," he said, a bit evasively. "She sent her love, and I believe there is a little parcel for Junior from her in Lil lian's keeping." ' "How dear of herl" I exclaimed, and this time my tone was genuine, for I had a sudden flash of compre hending sympathy for the lonely girl who had stayed away from the birthday festivities of our baby. Madge Understands. For I knew the reason she had not come to us was because she could not bear to see the domestic happi ness of the man she loved so hope lessly,and because of my own joy I felt a sincere compassion for the woman thus shut away from happi ness. Dicky gave me a quick, almost furitive look, then, with Junior still in his arms, bent his head to mine. "You're a darling Madge," he said with seeming irrelevance. "Now run along to your guests. I'm going to get acquainted with my son. And, of course, womanlike, as I walked slowily toward the house and Lillian, I could not help tortur ing myself with the query: "Why should Dicky be so especi ally appreciative of any kindly ex pression of feeling upon my part toward Edith Fairfax?"
