Killed. Following
" Battle in House
Drueeedow Breaks Down and
, Cries Replying to Editorial
Attack Impugning Motives
in Fighting Measure.
. Lincoln, April 16. (Special) -In
a dramatic battle in which Reprc-
frntative Robert Druesedow
Omaha, chairman of the lower house
committee on cities and towns, broke
down and cried, Senate File 249, the
almost exact duplicate of House Roll
Xo. 1. the Omaha electric light bill,
was killed in the house today.
Druesedow broke down Vhile de
claring that "those who instigated an
editorial in Lincoln paper this
morning that questioned my motive
on Senate File No. 249, should be
paralyzed and made to suffcr'the tor-
lures of hell.
"I can look the whole world in the
face because my motives in voting
against Senate File 249 are beyond
r-proach, and I do it with the con
viction that my vote is representative
of the desires of the people of Oma
ha, as was proved, in the primary
election there April 5."
. Starts to Argue.
Representative Theodore Oster
man of Merrick, democratic floor
leader, moved at 11:30 a. m. that
Senate File 249 be placed on general
file over the vote of the committee to
indefinitely postpone it.
He started to argue.
Representative Dwight Griswold
of Sheridan moved the previous ques
tion, which means that the vote on
the motion must be taken without
. debate.
' - Griswold's motion carried by a
vote of 49 to 29.
Osterman, Representative' Ed
Smith of Omaha and Representative
Grant Mears of Wayne got around
it by rising to explain their votes.
In their explanation they claimed
an attempt was being made to gag
debate and keep the change in front
, by the chairman of the committee on
cities and towns quiet.
Explain Votes.
Representative James Rodman of
Kimball and others then took occa
sion to explain their votes.
They declared it was useless to
take time of the lower house to
thresh out House Roll No. 1 again.
And the vote on the Osterman
motion was taken.
It was defeated 54 to 25.
- After the vote, Representative
Druesedow arose to a question of
personal privilege, declaring his mo
tive had been questioned in a cow
ardly editorial of a Lincoln paper,
and proceeding with his dramatic de
fense during which he broKe aown
and cried. '
- Vote on Motion.
"I absolutely refused to challenge
the intelligence of this house by put
ting House Roll 1 now before them a
. second time," Druesedow said. The
vote on the Osterman motion fol

Women Suggest
Den Show Names
'Ambassadors' Retreat' Choice
Of Samson's Secretary;
New Members Added.
"The Ambassadors' Retreat" is the
title suggested for the new Ak-Sar-Ben
show by Miss Helen Weeks,
secretary to Samson.
. In explanation Miss Weeks said
that because the musical comedy at
the Den throughout the summer will
be the main entertainment offered
ambassadors of Samson upon their
visits to Omaha she thinks "The
Ambassadors' Retreat" is quite ap
propriate. Miss Evelyn Marks, secretary to
the Ak-Sar-Ben Exposition com
pany, suggests ''Free-for-All Races"
as the title of the show.
"Then the women may get a look
in," she explained.
As yet, Charles Gardner, secretary
of Ak-Sar-Ben, has not decided upon
the winner of the $10 prize offered
the woman in this city who suggests
the most appropriate name for the
new show.
The present membership of Ak-Sar-Ben
presages a record-breaking
attendance at the initial performance
of the show in the Den on the night
of May 23.
To date, membership in Ak-Sar-Ben
totals 1,359, which is 435 more
than at this time last year, accord
ing to Miss Weeks.
The Concord club leaders the Big
Five hustling committee with a rec
ord of 238 members for Ak-Sar-Ben.
Keen interest is manifest among
three groups of hustlers in the Con
cord club, namely the Bullfrogs,
Tadpoles and Double Crosses. The
Bullfrogs lead the three groups with
a record of 99 applications.
Second on the list of the Big Five
is the Rotary club, with a list of 133
members for Ak-Sar-Ben. The Ki
wanis club is third, while the Lions
are roaring past the Ad-Sell club
committee for fourth place.
