THE BEE: ' OMAHA. FRIDAY, OCTOBER ' 17, 1919. li fKncr GAPS CAUSED BY HAMILTON DEATH HOT YET FILLED Successors Will Be Hard to select, say untciais or ur- ganiaztions Affected Will Act Deliberately. The death of Frank T. Hamilton, Omaha capitalist, has left a gap in the official personnel of three large Omaha business institutions which will be hard to fill, according to his closest business associates. Up till now nothing has been done to choose successors to the late Mr. Hamilton, officials of brganiza tions affected by his death say. W. A. Smith, vice president of ; the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Railway company, of which Mr. Hamilton was president, has tem porarily assumed the duties of pres ident. . Will Not Act Hastily. Gurdon W. Wattles, chairman of the board of directors of the street car company, stated yesterday that i meeting of the board of directors would be held next Tuesday. "Although we may take up the problem of choosing a new presi dent at the board meeting" said Mr. Wattles, "it is not likely that we ' will make a decision at that meeting. It is one of the most im portant matters that has been brought before the company for a long time and we will 'not act hastily." Men who"are in close touch with the affairs of the- company predict that Mr. Wattles will again take charge of the company, as president. Others declare that Mr. Wattles' duties as chairman of the board of directors of the. United States Na tional bank will make it impossible for him to become president of the traction company. May Be Outside Man. An . official of the Chamber of Commerce .Wednesday, declared that in all probability no Omaha man would be chosen as president. Aman who is an expert in the man agement of great traction lines is needed by the company, this man declared.' The great expansion of the company in recent years makes it difficult for anyone but an expert to handle, he said. G. W. Clabaugh, vice president of the Omaha Gas company, of which Mr. Hamilton was president, is now acting as president Mr. Clabaugh would not comment on the probable successor of the late president Fred P. Hamilton is acting as first Vice president of the Merchants National bank. He was second vice president previous to Mr. Ham ilton s death. A board meeting will be held some time next week to choose a new first vice president, he Single Tax Debate 1 WaowTaf Mf -o --- j - Held In Unity Church - . I W. F. Baxter sustained the ! affirmative side and J. B. Haynes and David Olson the negative in a debate on single tax held Wednes day evening in United church before a gathering of 100 students of this subject. Mr. Baxter urged the rights of the common people, holding that all of the people are entitled to a share of the wealth that comes into a com munity, by reason of enhanced val ues created . by growth of popula tion. He reasoned that when a man sells a tract of Farnam street property today for two , or three times what he paid for it a few years ago, society as organized pre sents him with such unearned, incre ment. Mr. Haynes contended that ex perience proved that the scheme is impracticable, and unworkable. He showed that in Edmonton, Canada, more than $1,250,000 worth of real estate was abandoned by owners who refused to pay the exorbitant taxes levied upon vacant lots, which were earning no revenue. He as serted that the single tax plan would work disaster in any com munity where it might be applied. Police Search for Liquor In Dental . ; j Offices Find None Acting on a "tip" that a ease of liquor had been sent to the offices of the Bailey Dentists, 706-10 City National bank, building, a squad of police in charge of Sergeant Wheel er served a search warrant on. Dr. G. D. Shipherd, manager of the company, . late Wednesday after noon, according to a police report of the affair. No liquor was found in the place. A box tallying to a description of that in which the supposed liquor was said to have been shipped was found, according to the report Dr. Shipherd said the raid was the.work of some "curious monger who sus pected whisky being sent instead of dental medicines." He stated that the box found by the police had formerly contained medicines. Several dental patients' were in the operating chairs when ,the police searched the place. Massachusetts People Shy In Knowledge of Lord's Prayer Boston, Mass. There are only , eight persons in every thousand in Massachusetts who know the Lord's prayer or the Ten Commandments, according to a survey made by the international world movement of the churches. ; f ' According to the survey made in New York, Massachusetts is ahead in the number of those who have heard of the Lord's prayer or the Ten Commandments. : A Mean Thief Baby clcthes, sheets, pillow covers nd sundry other articles that had been washed and left hanging on the clothes line, were Uken from the rear yard of the home of Mrs. J.

The Question Dicky Humbly Asked Madge. At Dicky's words and quizzical glance which accompanied them I felt as a child might whose big soap bubble had been suddenly blown to watery particles. He had been shrewder than I had thought, had pierced in an instant the sophistry with which I had in vested my story. I made a des perate effort to , salvage the real truth from the wreck of my tale. "Really and truly, Dicky, there were two of whom she was un reasonably jealous." "And who was the other one?" he asked ironically, both of his words and manner showing me plainly that there was no use in my trying to hide the fact that Milly Stockbridge had been unsanely jealous of me. "Alice Holcombe." ; Dicky hooted in derision. "Come again, my dear!" he said. "When you are telling one why not tell a good one? Now, if you'd said Miss Dean I might have be lieved you. There's a pippin who might cause ructions in the calm bosom of, the most cautious wife." "Like me, for instance?" I could have " bitten my little tongue through ' with vexation at myself for letting the words slip, but his reference to Bess Dean, the involuntary admiration for the girl's beauty and vivacity which his words betrayed, piqued me to speech be fore I had time for the second thought which usually governs me. Dicky, grinned up at me impishly. "Oh hoi" he gibed. "So the wind sits in that direction, does it? Poor itte sing, was she jealous of devilish young schoolma'am? All wasted, tweetle. Me 'art's true to Poll." Despite my intense annoyance at this sort of nonsense from Dicky's lips he knows how I detest "baby talk" even used humorously my heart warmed to an inflection of his voice which told me that he had spoken the truth in jest in his last words.- I covered my chagrined embarrassment at my own slip in a quick return to the subject of Alice Holcombe. What Dicky Said. "I shall expect you to believe me, dear," I said with dignity, "when I tell you that Mrs. Stockbridge was intensely jealous of Alice Holcombe at the last. It is true that she never considered Mrs. Holcombe in any light but that of her best friend until a few days before her death. Then something happened which I can tell you sometime, but which I ought not to reveal now, for it is not my secret. . It made Mrs. Stock bridge believe something altogether false about Miss Holcombe, and she associated rne with it In fact, on the very day she died she called me up at the schoolhouse and threatened Miss Holcombe and me with some vague action that she meant to take through the newspapers." Dicky sat up straight, swung his feet to the floor and rose his full height upon them. "Damnation!" he said. "She meant naming you two as co-respondents, of course. The blasted she-devili Well; it's a good thing she bumped herself off or some body did it for her before she had a chance to get in her fine Italian hand. " Of course, nobody with any sense would believe her ravings, but it would be ; mighty awkward just the same if the hint of such a thing got into the newspapers." He began to stride up and down the room, his hands in his pockets. I was bewildered by, the attitude he had taken, for I had expected re proof, invective, an intimation that in some way my own carelessness had caused the jealously of my principal's wife. But instead he had become my companion, and even the fact, which otherwise I would have resented, that upon my reve lation he had instantly left my vicinity, had no power to disturb me. He was so evidently turning over the problem my story had presented, examining it to see that no danger yet lurked anywhere for me. As if a sudden thought had struck him, he -wheeled suddenly, came back to the bedside, blurted out vehemently: "That was what you were watch ing for this morning, for fear there was something in the papers about you and your friend?" "Yes, Dicky," very meekly. "You poor little goat 1" Dicky's voice was full of rough but beauti ful tenderness. "No wonder you were yelping thanks all over the horizon 1 And then I had to give my celebrated imitation of a bull let loose in a china shop. just when you needed me most. But will you kindly tell me something?" , His. arms were around me now. My "yes" was murmured against his shoulder. "Why in thunder didn't you tell me all this that morning? What's a husband for, I'd like to know, if not to handle a thing of this sort?" I took my courage in both hands and spoke the truth: "I I was afraid to, Dicky, afraid you'd be so angry about it." He bent his face to mine. "I know," he said humbly . I have treated you to some pretty disgraceful exhibitions. But I don't believe I ever failed you if you came and asked me for help, did I?"

If Constipated, Bilious or Headachy, take "Cascarets" Sick headache, biliousness, coat ed tongue or sour, gassy stomach always trace this to torpid liver; de layed, fermenting food in the bow els. Poisonous matter clogged in the intestines, instead of being cast out of the system is re-absorbed into the blood. When this poison reaches the -delicate brain tissue it causes congestion and that dull, throbbing, sickening headache. Cascarets immediately cleanse the stomach, remove the sour, un digested food and foul gases, take the excess bile from the liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and poisons in the bowels.
