Relief From Annoyances of
' Church, Declares Rev. John
Poucher After Vindica-
tion In Court.
San Francisco, Cal., March 12.
(Special.) The board of directors
of the Central Methodist church will
meet Monday night to vote on the
ouestion of invitinsr Rev. John E.
Poucher to return to his position as
castor.
But Dr. Poucher is not at all set
tled in his mind as to just what he
will do. He may retain his job as
a shiDvard worker at the Sctiaw
Batcher company's plant in South
San Francisco.
The former pastor was kept busy
; today receiving congratulations
t from members of the church and
J scores of others on his vindication
br a jury in Judge Bernard J.
Flood's court late yesterday in the
$50,000 alienation suit of William G.
' Smeltzer, who charged the minister
I with having stolen the love and af
i fections of his wife, Irma Smelt
; ser, Dr. Poueher's private secretary.
Finds New Contentment.
The minister found something
while working in the shipyards. For
one thing, he found contentment,
and for another thing, he gained a
; wider knowledge of humanity and
'human nature. "My work in the
Shipyard has given me better un
derstanding or man than I ever
had," said Dr. Poucher today, just
before he left his wife and two
growing boys at the family home, to
keep an appointment with Bishop
Leonard, and later proceed to the
Schaw-Batcher plant.
l, "As to my returning to the
church, that matter is unsettled.
Nothing has been done about it and
I have not decided just what I shall
do. I may take a rest for a while
in some other line of work, and I
may keep my job at the shipyard. I
found joy in-my work, and a relief
from the annoyances I was sub
jected to during the last year of
my church work."
? i Will Be Offered Post.
' There is little doubt that Dr.
Poucher will be offered his old po
sition with the church, according to
a prominent member of the board
of directors, but Dr. Poucher i3
-hesitating. Overalls, the sweat of
manual labor, the heartfelt but inno
cent cursing of men straitfing oVer
some task requiring all, their mus
cular strength and concentration of
mind has touched a chord in the
makeup of the minister that has
set his soul vibrating.

tgrees in temperature between 7 p. m.
Thursday morning and 7 a. mt Fri
day. Weatherman L. A. Welsh re

drive his engine at high speed over

ing she would visit her parents. But
a letter came from her telling him
that she would never return because
she no longer loved him. She is in

GUMBO GUMS UP
OMAHA TRAFFIC
OUT IN SUBURBS
Live Stock Receipts Affected-
Milk Deliveries Delayed
Street Cars Grow Popular.
Douglas county mud, better
known as gumbo, softened by tem
porary high temperatures Fri
day, caused the delay of scores of
trucks bringing live stock and other
farm produce to the Omaha market,
and stalled hundreds of Omaha mo
torists in the suburban districts, ac
cording to the reports of suburban
garages.
b.. li. Maxwell, county agricul
ture agent, whose trusty Ford was
stalled for the first time in its four
years of constant usage,; declared
that never in his experience were
the roads so sticky. Their condi
tion is caused by the short warm
period and a light rain, he said.
"Ihere were dozens ot trucks and
touring cars stalled on the side roads
leading into Omaha, he said, but
the Lincoln highway seemed to be
in good condition. I know that de
livery of milk was greatly retarded
by the mud, and much milk was
never delivered to the city."
Carl Smith, traffic manager of the
Union stock yards, asserted that
receipts of live stock shipped by
truck had dropped noticeably. He
attributes this drop to the inability
of trucks to cope with the sticky
gumbo.
Edward Williams, of the Wil
liams -Bros, garage at Benson, said
that all his service machines were
kept busy Thursday hauling cars
out or the mud on side roads and in
the Benson suburban district.
Among the suburban residents
who were stalled during their drive
home Thursday are George W.
Hamilton of the Union Pacific rail
road; Benjamin Smith of the Smith-
Gwynne Advertising Lo., and Ar
thur Thomas of the Chamber of
Commerce.
Scores of other Benson residents
were stalled ihursday, according
to Mr. Thomas, and surface cars
have grown popular in that section
of the city, he says. '
Conditions of the roads were re
ported somewhat improved yester
day as a result ot lower tempera
tures.

Miracle Man Shakes
Dust of Omaha From
His Feet, by Request
B. C Gooley, boilermaker and
"miracle mar." has shaken the dust
of Omaha from his feet and gone
"fer, fer away."
Forcible language from County
Attorney Shotwell to Mr. Gooley in
the presence of Mrs. Gooley and the
three little Gooleys last Tuesday,
brought from the "miracle man" a
promise that they would "beat it."
Mrs. Gooley claimed that he was
not supporting her and the little
Gooleys.' Mr. Gooley claimed that
she followed him around from place
to place and "jimmed his miracles,"
The county attorney said there
was one thing he was interested in
as an official, namely that Mr.
Gooley support his family; and an
other thing that he desired warmly,
namely that if Gooley must perform
miracjes instead of followingthe
honest occupation of boilermaker,
he perform the miracles outside of
Douglas county.
Mr. Gooley is gone.
So is Mrs. Gooley.
And the three little Gooleys.
