THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, MAY 14. 1921 Recall of City Commissioners Popular Topic Lincoln Friends of Charles F. Bryan Planning Another Election in Effort to Make Him Mayor. Lincoln, M,iy 13. (Special.) ' Talk of recall petitions against Mayor Frank C. Zehrung, in particular, and the three city commissioners in gene ral continued to be heard in Lincoln today. Friends of Charles W. Bryan, angered at refusal of the city com missioners to assign him to theJ mayorship, were reported to be con tinuing circulation of petitions of pro test today. Another big mass meet ing of Bryan supporter?, at which a report of the success of the pro test petitions will be made, is ex pected shortly. If it is learned that Lincoln citi zens are singing the. protest with little persuasion and it reports are heard that there is real resentment , apainft the city commissioners over jthcir refusal to elect Bryan mayor, j ihere is little doubt that recall peti- , tions will be circulated. Meantime Charles W. Bryan is talking less than at any time in his .history, according to statements of hie friends. He has made one public statement in which he refused to accept the action of the city com missioners in assigning him as com missioner of streets. No one at this time knows just what the result of this action will be. It isn't a resignation. It isn't a re fusal to sit with the commissioners, excepting in the capacity of com missioner of streets. It is not be lieved the commissioners can force him to accept his assignment. ; Should recall petitions be circu lated and the . proper number of names be obtained, then probably Brvan will resign and run against Zehrung for mayor at the election which must follow.

Church Worker Has Safety Value For Blue Sunday Advocates Midweek Holiday On Which To Do All Things Barred on Day v Of Rest. Shubel K. Siver, prominent mem ber of the First Reformed Church of New Brunswick, K. J., and its highly trusted treasurer, has mys teriously disappeared. Concurrent ly missing are Liberty bonds to the value of $5,200 and Miss Adelle Gouin, pretty 18-year-old waitress of Perth Amboy, N. J. When seen last Siver, who is married and has three children, was in an automobile with Miss Gouin. The missing Liberty bonds were owned by the congrega tion of the First Reformed church. Advocates of blue law enforcement would close the world as tight as a clam on Sunday and would allow nothing but holy worship. Comes now W. H. Kimberlv. busi ness manager of the Nebraska State Sunday bchool association, just as Wvint a hflipver in a closed Sundav as the blue advocates, no movies, no ball games, no love making, no noth ing but church, but he advocates a mid-week holiday, this day to be especially for doing all those things barred on Sunday. Mr. Kimberly was in Omaha Fri day attending the annual conven tion of the Douglas County Sunday School association at Grace M, E. church, Twenty-fifth and E streets, South Side, Friday afternoon, when the question as to the length of time youngsters should spend in Sunday school he advocated attendance at Sunday school and morning service, then attendance at classes Sunday afternoon. Expounds Theory. One of the delegates to the con vention took exception to such long hours and Mr. Kimberly expounded his theory. "Children are not learning enough of the Bible or of biblical teachings. The class periods are much too short. I would have Sunday de voted to holy worship, Adults and children would attend. Then I would declare a holiday on Thursday. This holiday would be spent in any man ner families thought best as long as it would be clean and healthful rec reation. I would designate it rather as 'Family and I-nends day.' Mr. Kimberly says he has been advocating this idea for the past two years. He says it is in vogue in certain towns in northern Ohio and has proven a great success. Convention Closes. The annual convention of the Sun day school association held Thurs day and Friday came to a close last night. At 7:30 last night there was a special song service by the Grace M. E. choir and a devotional service led by Rev. Ford A. Ellis. A. M. Locker, Chicago, delivered an ad dress on "Religious Education of Children and Youth."
