Split of Sarpy ;
P County Looms in
Annexation Row
Residents of East Portion
Would Join Douglas Meet
ing on Issue Held at
Papillion Today.
. To annex part, if they cannot an
f nex all Sarpy county to Douglas,
i is now the burning issue among Sar
' pyites.
A split between eas.t and west
I Sarpy is imminent, so 'tis said, and
was expected to be evidenced at a
', meeting in Papillion starting yester
. day at 2, called to consider building
I a new court house tnere.
"Nobody wants a new court house
' in Papillion: this is only a move to
fight annexation," said Henry Kieser,
who lives in east Sarpy, on the Belle-
vue roal, and is strongly identified
with the annexationists.
' Argument Against Papillion.
"If there is any new court house
v to be built, then let's build it in
Bellevue, the old county scat, now
once more the center of population,"
he advocated. "Or else let the rural
' portion remain Sarpy and we.'ll join
Douglas." - :
Residents of east Sarpy must go
- through South Omaha, which is in
Douglas county, in order to reach
'I Papillion. Kieser stated, as the main
argument against Papillion for sthe
. county seat.
; Its a distance of almost nine
' miles and no direct railroad commu-
: nicatioii between the points., he
stated.
! Requiring Policing.
. " For" annexation to Douglas, he
i urges better police protection for
the east part of the county which
has grown to be Omaha's play
ground. : "The Y. W. C. A. summer camp,
f the boy scout camp, the walking
elub rendezvous and Fontenelle for
st all require policing which Sarpy
, does ndt give. It has few improve
ments, too, in the way of paved
.roads." -
- R. W. Moore, M. L. Beucler, Dr.
, Bctts and Dr. J. P. Lord are other
annexationists.
!; I. D. Clark, Papillion banker, is
the leader of the standpatters and
i chief booster for' the new court
house in his town.
; Desire to keep county funds 'and
. other business in Papillion is the
artliatiny trmtivp inr h sinti-ati-
ucxationists.it is said.
Another Thorn.
The high school situation is an-
other thorn in the side of east
Sarpy ites. '
tf "Since Bellevue college closed wc
v have been maintaining a high school
in one of the college buildings at
three times the cost that it would
V be to send our . children to Omaha
:; to school." said' Kieser. , "In fact,
most of them are already attending
. Omaha, high schools.
No Place for Shcool.
"Now that the college . buildings
are to( bfc Ut to the government for
, the soldiers'- - vocational . guidance
t school, we have no , place1' for our
nigh school." :
A meeting of the school trustees
will be held in the middle of June
', j to decide what to do, he said. .
;' The;,' last state legislature turned
down ja 1 bill to annex Sarpy to
Douglas. . , ' '
. "But we'll not give up. it's bound
V to come because it's the logical
, thing for the cast half of the coun
ty," said Kieser..

Legal Battle in Prospect Over

Claiming to Be Mother ,

H. P. Morten r,crir ex-police officer,
was arrested Wednesday night ' by
Detectives Pszanowski and Kich and
is held at central police station on. a
charge of having been implicated in
the mysterious deth of "Wingie"
Davis. Omaha taxi driver.
The arrest was made on informa
tion given to police by Mrs. Davis,
who asserted that on the morning
after her husband's desfrted auto
mobile was found at Grand Island
Mortenscn called her over the tele
phone and said he had just returned
from Hall county. Mortensen denies
any knowledge of the murder of
Davis.
Battle Over Estate.
A legal battle is in' prospect in
county court over the estate of
"Wingie" Davis, the contestants be
ing Mrs. Grace Bresnahan of Okla
homa f City, ' who says she is the
mother of Davis, and Mrs. Bessie
Davis, 1707 California street, widow
of the murdered taxi Uriver. y
Mrs. Bresnahan made application
yesterday for probate of the estate
and she did not include Mrs." Davis in
the list of legal heirs.
Mrs. Davis insists that" Mrs. Bres
nahan is not the mother of Davis'.
The Oklahoma City woman says she
is 55 years old, but she appears to be
about 40. . ,
Doubt3 Woman Is Mother.
"I know that Mrs. Bresnahan is
not the mother of my dead husband,"
said Mrs. Davis. "She told me that
Davis was born in Carbon, la., and
that he was 24 years old. He was
born in Ottumwa. Ia., and he was
35 years .old. Mis father told me
that this woman was not his mother.
Why. she didn't believe that I was
married to Davis until I showed her
my certificate. She also told me that
she knew who killed 'Wingie! and
said there was a woman in the -case.
If she does, know that, she should
tell the police. She said she was glad
he was dead. If she was his mother,
she would never speak that way
about him. I just can't understand
her at all."

WHY YOU NEED
To make you' strong, and
"brainy" and put the power
into your blood to over
come disease germs
PRACTICAL ADVICE ON HOW
TO DEVELOP GREAT . EN
ERGY AND ENDURANCE.
The .food you eat contains carbon.
When your food is digested it is ab
sorbed from the intestines into the
blood. When the carbon in your
food comes in contact with the oxy
gen carried by the iron in your
blood, the carbon and oxygen unite
and by so doing they give off tre
mendous -energy, thereby civing you
treat force, strength and endurance. With
out iron jronr blood earriee no oxygen and
without oxygen there ii nothing to unite
with the carbon in your food, o that what
you eat does you no good you do not Kt
any atrenath from it It H like putting
coal into a stove without a fire. You can
not get any heat unless the coal unites
with the fire.
The strongest "weapon with which to pre
vent and rercome colds, pneumonia, kid
ney trouble, rheumatism, nervous prostra
tion, in faet almoBt any disease or disease
germs is plenty of good rich, pure blood,
strength, energy and endurance and the
greatest energy carrier in the body is or
ganic iron, not metallic iron which people
usually take, but organic iron like the iron
in spinaah, lentils and apples and like the
iron coMnined in what ts known as or
ganic Nuxated Iron, which may be had
from almost any druggist.
If you have been taking metallic iron
without benefit such is no proof that or
ganie Nuxated Iron wili not help you.
Nuxated Iron often increases the strength,
energy and endurance of weak, nervous,
run down folks in two weeks time. It is
such an extremely valuable product that
even the Pope at Rome wrote especially
f its merits in a communication to the
Pharmacie Normal. It has been used and
highly recommended by former United
States Senators, Members of Congress,
Judges of U. S. Courts, many physicians
and prominent men. .
. Over s.flOir&OO peonle are now using it
annually. Satisfactory results are guar

settlement of labor troubles and
thinks unbiased reports of a board
of this description is the best means
of settling disputes.
At the time the governor refused
to veto the anti-picketing bill, he an
nounced this board of mediation
would be appointed soon. ... . ..'Ji

Removes Hairy Growths
Without Pain or Bother
(Modes of Today) .
It is not necessary to use a painful
process to remove hairy growths, for
with a little delatone handy you can
keep the skin entirely free from these
beauty destroyers. To'remove hair,
make a stiff paste with a little pow
dered delatone and water. Spread this
on the hairy surface and in about 2
minutes rub off, wash the skin and
the hairs are gone. To guard against
disappointment, be careful to get
real delatone. Mix fresh as wanted.

Denby Presents
Commissions to
Naval Graduates
Secretary Warns Ensigns They
Must Not Be Snobs; Must
Combine Professional At
' tributes With Respect.
Annapolis, June, 2. In presenting
commissions to the graduating class
of the naval academy here today,
Secretary Denby, himself an enlisted
man in the navy in the Spanish-
American war and a private, sergeant
and commissioned officer in the ma
rine corps in the world war, struck
a new notein urging that profes
sional attributes, of the naval officer
be combined with respect for the en
listed force.
"You must so conduct yourselves
that your superior in rank shall
respect you, your equals love you
and those under your command obey
you with a smile, the secretary
said. ou must be officers, but not
snobs. Your commissions are ill
bestowed unless you are free from a
loolish vanity of rank.
Must Have Pride.
...
i.J ride should be' yours, a very
just and honest pride in your uni
form. That pride may be best shown
by so wearing that uniform that all
must honor it and you.
"No one knows better than I with
what great respect the enlisted man
looks upon an officer who is 'every
inch a man.' The enlisted man will
quickly size you up. He quite prop
erly teels that he is too much a man
himself to want to be commanded by
one lacking any essential element of
manhood."
Reviewing the deeds of the navy.
Secretary Denby bespoke in the new
officers, a spiritual consecration to
duty. '
t Must Respect Traditions.
"If you are to be fit inheritors and
transmitters of the glorious, tradi
tions of the navy," he said, "you
must . dedicate yourselves today to
ives of seli-sacrihce and absolute
devotion. Most particularly our
country s honor and material inter
ests are in your hands.
'When the red day comes if
come it must when, in the flame of
battle your souls are taken from you
under our country s flag, you will die
as gentlemen should die, honest and
simple and brave, regretting nothing
and glad that y,ou have so lived as to
merit so worthy a death.
I do not anticipate, however, that
f you live as officers should live,
and if the navy keeps up its stand
ards of material and men. Secretary
Ucnby continued, that you will ever
be called upon to offer that great
sacrifice upon your country s altar.
You will be called upon to live for
your country, and that is hard be
cause it is a matter of constant
watchfulness. , . .
