- THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: DECEMBER 7, 1919. DISMISS SUIT TO TEST ORDER FOR CLOSED THEATERS Case Against the Federal Fuel Board Dropped by ' Reauest. s The petition seeking a restraining order nleff- Friday in federal court by Attorney James C Kinsler for Henry VV. Savage, eastern theat rical producer and manager, against tht Brandeis theater, the local fed cral fuel board and others, to pre vent the closing of the playhouse December 10, 11, 12 and 13, regard less of the nation-wide effort to conserve fuel "while the country is facing a coal famine, was thrown out of court yesterday morning. This action was taken at the re quest of Attorney- Kinsler. Asked for an explanation, Mr. Kinsler declared he had been prompted to request the case thrown out of court a few hours after having filed the ret'tion "bv a matter of policy." Alleged No Authority. In his petition the attorney al leged the local federal fuel board had no jurisdiction of authority to close the doori of the local thtr which proposed to use no coal orM coke, or products of coal and coke, for heatjng and lighting purposes. It was proposed to heat the Brandeis theater with 'fuel oil and light the place with calcium.- iJThere are other theaters in Oma ha equipped to heat and light their houses without the use. of coal or coke, but rather than place them selves in the attitude of hot being in absolute and entire accord and harmony with the object of the fuel board, they have 'shown noSfisposi- tion to take aHvantaim nf tho cini tion at the risk of embaraWng the members ot theuel board while en gaged in their unselfish labors for the public interest . Hatter of Policy. - The fact is admitted that the fed eral fuel administrator referred only to the conservation of coal and coke, and that playhouses equipped to use material of a different charac ter for heating and lighting pur poses, strictly would not come un der the mark aimed at by Dr. Gar field's order. However, other thea ters have not raised the question, preferring to lend their moral sup port to a public cause while the city and nation faces a serious crisis. "After consultation yesterday morning with. E. A. Baclielder, ad vance agent for the Savage show," declared Attorney Kinsler, "it was cided as a matter of policy we would ask the court to dismiss our suit" Episcopal Diocese Must Prove Right to Be Exempt from Taxes - The ' Cathedral chapter of the Episcopal diocese of Nebraska must prove in court that the city of Omaha and county of Douglas have no right to collect taxes onthe resi dence of Bishop Shayler at Turner boulevard and Harney street. . District Judge Wakeley overruled a demurrer filed by the city and county, tie also ordered stricken from the petition a paragraph which states that no taxes are levied on the residence of Archbishop Harty. This, he did on the argument of Deputy County Attorney Slabaugh, who held that whether taxes are levied on Archbishop Harty's resi- dence has nothing to do with the case of Bishop Shayler's residence. v $100 Baby Bonus Chicago, Dec 6. A hundred dol lar bonus is paid by Samuel Phil lipson & Co. here to any employe who can show proof of the birth of a new baby in his family. The idea is to encourage marriages. Ordered By Court to PayMonthjy Alimony - to Daughter-in-Law Nora Hoon was ordered to pay $10 a month temporary alimony to her daughter-iivjaw by Judge Wakely in divorce court yesterday. "It is the first order othe kind that I have ever, issued," said the judge. f The reason for the extraordinary proceeding is this: Mrs. Hoon and her son, William E. Zwiebel filed suit in district court two weeks ago. against Dorothy Zwiebel, to have her marriage with William annulled. i. ' - Mrs. Hoon and her vsou alleged that Dorothy Weston secured the marriage license herself on Octo ber 5. 1919, and "coerced" William into marriage. It is also alleged that both William and Dorothy were under age at the time of the wedding. William drove a .truck for Hay den Bros., but has "left the city, his mother said. Dorothy has also gone to work and the $10 alimony which Mrs. Hoon. must pay is to help her daughter-in-law to live during the pendency of the annul ment action.
