The nativestre hotly pursued by the
Mohammedans who are seeking to

The Metropolitan Water board
will reopen the case of Ernest (Er
nie) Worm, veteran employe of the
water plant, who was stricken blind
November 11, 1918, shortly after he
had read of the news of the signing
of the armistice. ,
Mr. Worm, despite the loss of an
arm. was one of the best plumbers
in Omaha. lie worked many years
for the Omaha Water company and
was retained when, the city took over
Lthe plant. While working in a
trench, a fellow workman dropped a
meter, which struck him on his head.
A few months later he was stricken
with influenza.
The state compensation commis
sioner, Frank A. Kennedy, allowed
Mr. Worm a compensation for life
and this was appealed by the water
board to the district court on the
advice of its counsel, J. L. Webster.
The contention of the water board
has been that influenza instead of the
trench accident caused blindness.
This matter was brought before
the water board yesterday afternoon
by J. C. Dahlman. new member, who
took his seat a lew weeks ago. Air.
Dahhiian asserted that several friends
have spoken to him about the Worm
case as being one ot unusual cir
cumstances and deserving special
consideration by the board.
"It is a pitiful case," said Mr.
Dahlman.
"I think we should not be too
technical in this case," saidW. J.
Coad. "member of the board.
The outcome of the discussion was
that General Manager R. B. Howell
was directed to bring to the board
next Friday afternoon all records
of the case, that the members may
review it again and decide whether
they will push their appeal case in
the district court or allow Mr. Worm
financial relief.
