'J lie latest slate to appear yes
terday was on a small card bearing
the caution, "For Onward Omaha,"
which was the slogan appearing on
the covers of the petitions circu
lated in behalf of J. C. Dahlmaii
a few weeks ago. The names on
this "Onward Omaha" slate are:
J. C. Dahlnian. Henry V Dunn,
John H. Hopinks, Joseph U. Hum
mel. Joseph Koutsky, Dean Noye$
and John C. Wharton. A variation
of this slate contained the nanus
of D. B. Butler and John Kilmartin
in the place of Noycs and Wharton.
Mr. Butler stated yesterday that if
his name had been used in that
manner it was without his consent.
The Committee of 5,000 came out
week ago with the following slate:
A. L. Sutton, J. Dean Ringer, Roy
M. Tow1, Thomas Falconer, John
F. Murphy, C. A. Grimmel. This
organization endorsed only six can
chelates because the members were
not unanimous on a evcnth choice
and for the further reason that maiiV
intend to vote for City Commis
sioner W. G. Ure, notwithstanding
thst he was hot endorsed by tiie
"5.000." '

composed of nlcmbers of the trades
unions, announced this slate last
Sunday: Henry F. Wulf, Bet;

"While this is gratifying in the
highest degree," he said, "it is not a j
real surprise, as it stands On ail

Acceptance of Treaty Impossible.
That the president's attitude as to
viermany's responsibility for the war,
however, means the administration
will accede to the wishes of the
allies as to the continued participa
tion of the United States in Euro
pean affairs does not follow.
The ratification of the Versailles
Jreaty, even with such modifications
:i were embodied in the Lodge
reservations, is now out of the ques
tion. The administration would not
accept the treaty unless it were much
more radically revised.
The president, in his inauguration
Address, declared against the en
tanglement of the .United States in
European affairs and-iany peace that
is made must meet this test. If the
allies were willing to revise the
treaty to the satisfaction of the
United States, the way would.be
opened for direct endorsement of the
terms imposed on Germany.'
Such endorsement would also be
rade possible by ratification of the
treaty with reservations of non-acceptance
of provisions of which the
United States disapproves.
A third method would be a separ
ate peace with Germany for which
;hc Knox resolution is proposed to
pave the wav. If; this alternative
should be adopted, the administra
t on presumably would require that
Germany, in such a treaty, admit re
tponsibility for the war and agree to
make reparation.
What was disclosed of the admin
istration's attitude today does not
indicate any weakening of disap
proval of the present league of na
tions. It was noted as significant

Electrical Concerns to Be
Shown Here April 4 at
Hotel Rome.
The "flying squadron," a merchan

electrical concerns associated with
the General Electric company, which
is touring the principal cities of the
country, will meet in Omaha, Mon

sections, showing the interior of
various rooms in the home, the store
and factory, and depicting old time
settings and poor illumination as
compared to up-to-date electrically
equipped rooms. '
As the upper half of the stage can
be revolved independently of the
lower section the setting can remain
the same while the side walls and
ceiling in the rooms are shifted.
In addition to the stage there arc
two miniature displays, one sho-.v-hig
a typical store window, fully
equipped with the various electrical
products and the other one showing
the improvement of proper lighting

Doesn't Seek Divorce.
Referring to Mrs. Stillman's
cnarge mat ner tmancier husband

born to "Mrs. Florence H. kteds,"
former musical revue girl, the de
cision said:

nswer and charges acts and conduct
upon me piauuiir or similar charac
ter as charged by him against her
and such acts are supported by affi
davits of different persons.
"She does not seek a divorce, but
pleads recrimination against the de
fendant as a defense. ' If the acts
and conduct as charged against eaca
Other are sustained, neither will be
entitlted to a decree.-
"If these charges are established
the plaintiff and defendant will find
themselves in the same position as
before the commencement of the ac
tion, except that they will have had
their day in court or perhaps sev
eral days as to matters affecting
them and this means time, labor and
expenditure of money."
The decision said it was "a de
batable question" whether the let
ters alleged to have been 'written to
Mrs. Stiilman by the Indian guide,
one of her husband's servants,
"should be received upon the plain
tiffs affidavit, unaccompanied by
other affidavits."
Child, Innocent Victim.-
Guy Stiilman, the infant whose
legitimacy was attacked by Mr. Still
man and who was named co-defendant
with his mother, "will bear a stain
that cannot be erased and for which
he is not responsible, if the husband
is successful in his suit," the decision
said.
"The plaintiff seeks to do that
which he believes is his duty to him
self and his children,,' it continued.
"The plaintiff having challenged the
paternity of the child, the defendant
comes to its protection and to the
defense of its legitimacy." That is
her duty and she is right in her
claim. She vigorously champions thS
child's cause and this is expected
from any mother.

"The interests of the defendant and
of the infant in this case are to a
great extent the same."
The three Stiilman children, other
than the infant whose paternity is
attacked "are of sufficient age to de
termine with whom they desire to
reside during the pendency of the ac

Peggy Marsh Says
Suit for Son Has
. Not Been Dropped
Actress Denies That Claim
Brought Against Henry
Field Has Been Settled
May Return to Stage.
New York, April 1. Peggy
Marsh, now Mrs. Albert Johnson,
who previous to her marriage be
came the mother of a child by
Henry Field, heir to the Marshall
Field millions, denied today that the
claim she brought' against the Field
estate has been settled. y-
Henry Field was the grandson ot
the first Marshall Field who left a
large estate. Miss Marsh, or rather
Mrs. Albert Johnson sued for
share in the estate for her small
son.
Marshall Field, third, another
grandson of Marshall Field, and
brother of Henry, paid an allow
ance to the actress, but refused to
acknowledge her claim to a share in
his brother's estate. The claim is still
pending and the court decision may
be expected in April.
Miss Marsh said today:
"I am bringing the claim against
the Field estate for my little son's
sake. He is 4 years old now and
a beautiful boy. He looks so much
like his father.
"My husband. Albert Johnson is
not very rich, despite reports to the
contrary. He is a young man just
venturing into business. Of course
he will be successful, but that takes
time and he has only begun.
"We are very happy, my husband
and I, and I do not want to go on
the stage. I never cared too much for
it as it was. Many stage offers are
made to me almost daily, but I have
refused them all for the present. i
"I have always been something of !
a home body and would much rather
!tay at home with my husband and
baby. Besides, mv husband dors not
wish that I return to acting. But if
tne court settlement of the Field
estate is not made in my favor, I
may- have to go on the stage again.
It may be settled late in April."
