j leased by Judge.
Desire to paint a masterpiece to
be labeled "After the Bath" landed
- ' John E. Tuberick, 4019 South Thir-
f tv-fifth street, in Central police
i court yesterday.
J Tuberick is deaf and dumb, lie U
an artist and photographer by pro
fession. Out of employment the past few
, weeks, Tuberick studied magazines
and became obsessed by picturesof
beautiful women and girls used in
advertisements for toilet soaps, per
. i fumes, powder and other articles
;for milady's toilette, police say.
He advertised for an Omaha mod
el and applied at the government
free employment bureau for models.
Believing he meant to paint pic
tures of cloak JSiodels for fashion
magazines, " the officials of the bu
reau referred Mrs. Ida Peterson, 20,
421 North Eighteenth street, to him.
Tuberick went to Mrs. Peterson's
apartment, with his palette, brush
and paints. , , ,
"Take off your clothes,' he told
her by writing.
He explained to her he wished to
paint a picture of her in the nude
lor "After the Bath." .
Shex refused to disrobe, and he
a.skcd: ' . .
"Whv, arc you married: .
"Yesi" she replied, and Tubene
seized his palette, brush, paints and
papers and hastened from the apart
ment. Mrs. Peterson swore out a war
rant for his arrest on charges of
disturbing the peace, and Tuberick
appeared before Judge Foster this
morning. H ' ' ,
. Through the superintendent of the
School for the Deaf he told his story
'- to the judge, who, upon the recom
x -mendation of the superintendent, ac
cepted his story and dismissed him.
"I believe his intentions were all

By E. C. SNYDER. , I
While the "boys" of the Ne-!
braska legislature are mulling over
the manner in which the state should
be redistricted as provided in the
house bill which recently passed the
lower branch of the national qon
gress leaving the present number of
4J5- members as the total member
ship of the hquse and increasing tne
ratio ot population tor eacn mem
ber, the "boys" of the Nebraska dele-
gatioa m the House ot representa
tives are, too, giving serious cun
siHpraHnn to the manner in Which
the state shall be redistricted under
the five member proposition.
Each of the six representatives.
has ideas of his own with reference
to the individual districts which is,
of course, mostv. natural. They
recognize, however, that the question
of reapportionment is "in the lap of
the gods and the jNeorasta legis
lature for when all is Said and done
it is the legislature of the Nebraska
commonwealth which must hx the
new districts as provided in the
house bill.
..x Local Jealousies. .
There are many aspiring states
men in the Nebraska legislature who
probably have been hept in the back
ground in so tar becoming candi
dates for congressDecauses of un
fortuitous circumstances in the way
of residing in districts that are rep
resented by stronger men orinen
whose personality appeal to the vot
ers of the district to a larger degree
than the aspiring statesmen.
Then again local jealousies cannot
fail to crop upn the making of the
new districts conformably to the
house billVand these must all be
ironed out to a greater or less degree
to satisfy the bulk of the people
and in consequence the committees
of the Nebraska legislature appointed
t6 pedistric the state both from a
congressional and judicial point of
view will have to do some very iine
tinkering before the end aimed at is
accomplished . N
tn Log Jam.
While the so-called Siegel bill
which contemplated a house mem-
behship of 483 has been amended to
retain jhe present number, 435, there
is no certainty of any apportionment
legislation getting through the sen
ate during the closing days of the
present session of congress, in tact,
when the house caucus was held on
the apportionment bill there was a
general rumor , prevalent that . the
senate was disposed to let the new
conjrress settleVthc question of ap
portionment and now that legisla
tion s.is seemingly in a iok jam auu
the possibility of a number ot tne
appropriation bills failing to get
through because of the tight on the
emergency tariff bill it would scsn
to be a good guess that apportion
ment so far a the 66th congress is
concerned would have to go over to
the 67th cpngress.
Population 1,296,372
The total population of Nebraska,
according to the census of 1920 is
1,296,372, one-fifth of that number
being approximately 259,000. Unof
ficial Returns from the census bu
reau indicate that the population of
each of the six Nebraska districts is
as follows:
First district, 173,458, or 85,000
short.
Second district, 226,074, or 33,000
short.
Third district, 244,367, or 15,000
short. v
Fourth district, '182,181, or 77.0UU
short. '
Fifth district, 182,202, or 77,000
short.
- Sixth district, 288.090, or 29,000
over. . "
Under the terms of the. house bill
the addition wifl be neyled to the
extent indicatd bv the shortage o
each of the five districts while a re
duction of 29.000 wtmld appear
in
connection with the present Sixtn
district. Under the new arrange
ment, therefore, if this bill should
become a law. the number "6" will
entirely disappear.
Smallest in State.
It would seem to be a foregone
conclusionMhat in anv reapportion
ment Lincoln arid ' Omaha would
still continue to be the centers o
the Firsj and Second districts. Any
method' ot redistnctmg that may
be pursued will undoubtedly require
the increase of the First district
from rome of the territory nof in
eluded in the Fourth district and
possibly taking some coflnties from
the I hird district. Th nonulation
of the First district is the smallest
of any in the state, and among th
smallest in the United States. Eigh
tyjfive thousand must be added to
its present population under the
census of 1920 to give it the required '
average under the law for the new
district.
Who'll, It Be?
It is obvious that if the present
delegation should desire to remain
in the 6oth congress when tne new
law goes into effect that one of the
members will have to be thrown into
a district and try exclusions with
another of the members. Who shall
go? That is the question that will
be up to the members of the Nebras
ka legislature to settle when , the
question of reapportionment comes
before them. v
The members of the Nebraska del
egation, although they may disavow
any serious interest in the redistrict
ing of their state', the fact remains
that all of them have been giving the
matter prayerful consideration.
There are those who contend that
the geographical fiction of the
North and South Platte country has
been entirely absorbed by the prefer
ential nrimarv. but that it still exists
is shown in the location of the two
senators from the Frame state, sen
ator Hitchcock coming from the
North Platte section and benator
Norris from the Soutf Platte.
A Question.
wi,.ttir h Platte should be
recognized as a divisional line in the
mapping out of the new congression
al districts is a moot question. 'It
as been Suggested that tn view oi
the population between the Nortu
and bouth iiaite lerruorv mi i
North Platte could easily have three
districts and the South Platte two,
but that does not appeal to some of
the members from the South Platte
country, because it would throw
three very capable representatives
into two districts ana wno, j
desire to represent- these districts,
would have to be candidates against
one another.
If the suggestion heretofore ntaae
that the Platte river should be maoe,
as in times past, the divisional mjv.
and that two counucs uc iw'v.
that section of the state tne rusi
district might be composed of the
ollowing counties: ijuuer, maun
ders, Lancaster, Cass, utoe, jonn
son.xNemaha, Pawnee, Richardson,
Jefferson, Gage and Saline, with a
copulation of 274.888, and the Fourth
district being the becond soum
Platte district, would have tne coun
ties ot Polk, York, Seward, Fill-
iiMrr Thaver. Hamilton, ciay,
Nuckolls, " Hall, Adams, Webster,
Kearney, Franklin, Phelps. Harlan,
Gosper, Furnas, Frontier, Red Wil
low, Hayes, 'Hitchcock, Dundy,
Phase and Perkins counties wun a
population of 266,815
Dividing Them.
The Second district and the First
district north cf the river under this
arrangement might include the
counties of Douglas, vyastjington,
Sarpy and Dodge, with a population
of 249.271. -
.The Third district could be created
ouWof the counties of Burt, Cuming,
Thurston, Dakota, Dixon, Cedar,
Knox. Antelope, Pierce, Madison,
Stanton, Coltax, Platte, Nance,
Merrick, Boone. Wheeler, Greetey
and. Howard, with a population of
243,125; -while the Sixth district, now
represented by Judge Kinkaird, and
which is the largest district in tm
state, both m the number of coun
ties and its population, might be
made tin of the counties of Holt,
Garfield, Valtevv bherman, Buttaio,
Dawson. Cusret. Loup. Kock, Jioyd,

Cooper, Cherry, Great Arthur Keith,
Deuell, Garden, Sheridan, Dawes,

Morrill Cheyenne. Kimball and
Banner with a population of 262,27J.
Another Proposition,
A suggestion that has consider
able following in Washington,
whether it wouf3 i appeal , to the
statesmen at home is a question, is
tire following arrangement of coun
ties :
First district: Lancaster. Otoe,
Johnson, Nemaha, Pawneej Richard
son, Gage,. Cass. Sarpy, Saunders
and Butler, with a population of
258,944. ' As it will be seen this ar
rangement sets asids the Platte river

the two sections of the state and
takes Samv from Mr. lefferis and
Butler, Saunders and Gage from
Mr. McLaughlin.

which leaves Mr. Andrews and Mr.
McLaughlin, in-the same district,
having taken from the present Fifth
district to make the new Fourth dis
trict the counties of Buffalo, Hall,
Clay, Nuckolls, Webster, Adams
Kearney, Franklin, Harlan arid
Phelps.
It is generally agreed that Judge
Kinkaid could be placed in any one
of th western counties and if he de
sired to be a candidate would make
it extremely warm for any statesman
who had an ambition to try conclu
sions with him, and' with Judge Kin
kaid to be reckoned with at any
and at all times the new Fifth dis
trict might ne created as louows:

Half of State.
While this would make a district
coveryig almost nait or me state, u
is the one district susceptible of the
greatest improvement from an agri
cultural 'point of view and it is to
this district the Nebraska of the fir
ture must look for its increased pop
ulation. Whatever is decided upon by the
legislature of Nebraska it must be
borne in mind that the bill provides
that districts must be created from
counties contiguous to one another.
It may be that a district resembles
a shoestring, a tortoise, a nare or a
turkey, but be that lis it may, the
counties must be adjacent to one
another and the districts must be
compact and each district under the
house bill must have a population of
242,000 odd, as provided by the cen
sus of 192U the house memhcrsnip
is to remain as at present consti
tuted, 435. . v

As soon as the steamer berthed, the
usual cordon of guards was thrown
about the vessel because of its
Chinese crew. Signs that the Chinese
intended to make a dash for free
dom were evident yesterday, but the
attack did not come until just before
daybreak, when the crew made a
massed attack on guards patroling
the deck. .
One Chinese, who appeared to be.
a leader, was shot through the head,
and one dived overboard in the dark
ness and was not again seen. The
Chinese who reached shore did so
bv means of a hawser, going down
