Woman Divorced
Here Will Marry
' Windy City Man
Mrs. Nancy J. Moore, Frin
cipal in Sensational Suit
Eight Years Ago, To Wed
Business Executive.
Her Engagement to
Club Man Announced
Mrs. Nancy J. Moore, one of the
principals in a' sensatoinal divorce
suit here eight years ago and former
wife of Roy W. Moore, treasurer of
the Kirkendall Shoe company, is to
marry A. V. Martin, a prominent
Chicago business man, president of
the Martin Hardware company, Mar
tin & Martin Shoe company and
other enterprises and a member of
the Chicago Athletic club and South
Shore Country cllib.
The engagement was announced at
a breakfast last Wednesday at the
prake hotel, Lake Shore drive and
Michigan avenue, Chicago.
Mrs. Moore sued her husband,
Rov V. Moore, then a salesman for
F. "P. Kirkendall & Co., here for a
divorce, April 28, 1913, alleging that
he had called her vile names and, that
'.lis final word to her was that he
"didn't care a damn for her or their
boys." They were married in 1894.
Moore fought the suit and there
was much sensational testimony in
the trial in district court. A decree
was granted her on November 26,
1913, with $1,500 alimony and the
custody of the two boys, Mendel,
1.7, and Clare, 16.
For some time she continued to
eside here and just before leaving
Omaha about two years ago she lived
'.t the Hotel Fontenelle.
She moved to Chicago with her
two sons and lived at 63 East Di
vision there.
No date has been set yet for the
redding of Mrs. Moore and Mr.
Martin.

Declares Brietson
Finances Are Sound
Stockholders in Company
Have No Cause for Alarm,
Asserts Director.
Stockholders in the Brietson Man
ufacturing company have no reason
lo be alarmed as to its condition, ac
cording to E. G. Taylor of Loup
City, Neb., a director of the com
pany, who is now in Omaha.
Mr. Taylor declares that the direc
tors have followed the law through
out their management of the com
pany's affairs. A great majority of
the stockholders; he said, have con
gratulated them upon their judg
ment in not erecting a building under
wartime conditions.
"I am the largest stockholder out
side of Mr. Brietson,' said Mr. Tay
lor, "and while I have never advised
anyone to buy stock in thecompany,
some may have done so because they
knew me. To these, my advice is to
have nothing to do with the so-called
'stockholders' committee.' This com
mittee has made serious charges and,
if not proven, may find itself liable
to action by those whom they have
accused.
"The company's money is invested
in good securities and bonds, satis
factory to the directors "

Johnson to Name
O.wn Inspectors
On County Paving
Commissioners Act in Accord
ance With Request of Good
Roads Commitee; Work
May Be Torn Up.
The board of county commission
ers passed a resolution yesterday, in
accordance with the request of mem
bers of the joint good roads com
mittee made last Monday, giving
State Engineer Johnson the right to
appoint his own inspectors on the
three paving jobs now under way in
Douglas county.'
This is the outcome of the ; con
troversy as to whether sulhcient
cement is being put into the concrete
base. The county already has thte?
inspectors on each job, but the good
roads representatives said they
wanted qualified engineers as inspec
tors.
"The state engineer could put his
inspectors on without our action,"
said Commissioner Unitt last night.
"It was just like saying, 'I have the
tight to do it. . Now ask me."
Paving May Be Relaid.
Lincoln. Auk. 5. (Special.) The
last three-fourths of a mile of Lin
coln highway paving laid to date iiif
Douglas county will have to be torn
t'D and relaid because of shortage in
the cement content of the base, ac
cording to unofficial reports making
the rounds here.
Three and one-half miles of the
highway are paved. Tests on the
first mile should be completed soon
and present indications are that they
will reveal specihed cement content.
However, when the base of opera
tions was moved at the completion
of the first two and. three-quarters
miles, the plans of mixing also were
changed and the alleged shortage of
cement in the base appeared.
Quality Undetermined.
Oualitv of the two and three-quar
ters miles paved first cannot thus
be determined positively until the
state tests are complete but it is be
lieved to be up to specifications.
This is likewise true for the. last
three-fourths of a mile. The result
of the tests on this will be late be
cause it is the last paving laid.
Officials here who started the pav
ing controversy with the Liougias
county commissioners declined to
make any definite statement regard
ing the possible relaying of this last
three-fourths of a mile.
Judge Troup Favors
Grand Jury Probe of
Defunct Firms Here
Presiding Judge A. C. Troup of
the Douglas county district court de
clared himself yesterday in favor of
falling the grand jury requested by
Attorney General Davis for investi
gation into recent Uue sky stock
transactions in the county alleged to
have caused a number of the recent
business failures.
' Judges Redick, Sears, Day and
Wakeley are out of the city on their
vacations. Judge Troup said he
would call a conference of the judges
within 10 days to propose the im
paneling of the grand jury.
He hopes to have at least seven
of the judges present and declared it
"ought not to take more than 10
minutes to decide the question.

Damaged Pavement
Will Be Repaired
The center of the pavement in
Eighteenth street, Burt street to
Capitol avenue, will be restored
next week, according to Hernial
Beal, city engineer.
This thoroughfare was opened last
winter by the Katr. Construction
company in connection with sewer
work. The contract with the city
required the Katz company to re
place the concrete base, which work
was allowed to go until this time.
"Mr. Katz called on us this morn
ing and gave assurances that work
will be started next Monday," said
the city engineer. "The city has a
bond for the replacement of the base,
which should have been attended to
sooner. v
Rescue Home Is
Dedicated By
Gov. McKelvie
State Executive Lauds WarJ
And Peacetime Work of
Salvation Army at
Cornerstone Laying.
Cheers and applause went up when
Governor McKelvie laid the first
trowel of mortar on the cornerstone
for the new Salvation Army Rescue
home at Sixteenth and Grace streets
yesterday afternoon, dedicating it
"to the service of humanity."
A large crowd was scattered over
the extensive grounds during the
ctremony.
The governor lauded the war serv
ice of the Salvation Army as well
as its peacetime efforts.
He said that laws and their en
forcement were weak in their power
for reclamation, as compared with
the voluntary efforts of charitable
organizations.
"We've had more laws put on
our statutes in the last 10 years
than ever before, but we have three
times as many prisoners in the state
penitentiary today than we had two
and a half years ago," he declared.
"We cannot shift the responsibility
for social reforms upon the state."
Salvation Army officers and work
ers vied with each qther for the op
portunity to lay on a trowel of mor- i
tar. Copies of three daily newspa
pers and pictures of the building
were sealed up in the cornerstone.
Qunn, Back From Trip,
Strong for Incinerator
Omalians will be requested to
wrap their garbage each day in pa
per before placing in cans for the
haulers. That will be the rule if
Jhis city adapts the incineration sys
tem of garbage disposal.
Police Commissioner Dunn, ac
companied by City Commissioner
Hopkins and City Clerk Bossie, have
returned from Des Moines, where
they investigated an incinerator
plant.
"Health Commissioner Pinto and
myself are favorable to the incinera
tion plan," said the police commis
sioner. "No doubt it is the most
sanitary method, but it more expen
sive than the hog-feeding method
of disposal. We will investigate
other cities where incineration has
been adopted. In Des Moines
householders are required to wrap
all garbage in papers and thewis?
dom of this was evident to us." '
Commissioner Dunn estimates'
that the cost of garbage removal
and operation of an incineration
plant in Omaha would amount to
approximately $90,000 a year.
