A BLOW AT FREEDOM
Lincoln, Aug. 19. (Special.) Be
cause the town of College View pcr
mited her to keep only one dog in
side the corporate limits, Mrs.
Lorcna Aten of College View be
came engaged in an altercation with
Mayor Simeon J. Quantock, which
resulted today in the filing of a suit
for $35,000 by Mrs. Aten against
Mayor Quantock and his wife,
Pearl. The story as outlined to
court officials follows.'
Clarence E. Aten. the husband,
sued the College View mayor lor
$25,000 for alienating his wifes af
fections. The mayor, in an answer
filed charged a conspiracy to get
money out of him and when the case
went to trial a jury returned a ver
dict in favor of the mayor.
Pass Dog Law.
Dog days began in College iew
shortly after the case was tried and
it behooved the . mayor and city
council of College View to get rid
of a few superfluous dogs, so the
story goes, and as a result a dog
ordinance" was passed. .
This, according to. Mrs. Aten, hn
at the very hearthstone of her home
as she owned many dogs and the or
dinance forbids any residents to own
more than one dog and live -msid-the
city limits. ; . . . .-. .
Following the passage oi wc va
riance Mrs. Aten, so the record goes,
maintained a "keep- me, keep my
dogs" attitude. Two and more dogs
continued to derive a sustenance
from the Aten ash can.
Then, according to records, Mrs.
Men was arrested for having an il
legal number of canines on her prop-
Crt) Ejected from Bank.
In her suit filed in the Lancaster
county district court Mrs. Aten states
that following her arrest and re ease
she called at the Bank of College
View, where Mayor y Quantock is
cashier, to discuss better dog legisla
tion by the village board.
Upon her entrance into the banK,
she asserts, she found it was a pUce
tor action and not words, as. ac
cording to her petition, Mrs. Quan
tock ordered her husband to put her
out of the .building. Quantock Deing
a model, obedient,, tw entieth century
husband, did as he was told. -
The alleged ejection and vents
v hich followed, caused Mrs. Aten to
suffer a fractured hip, which frac
ture, she declares, has P"al ;c f
and injured her to the extent of ?3d.-

(.1 bill h been introduced providing tor
during absence irom wninnon.j
the docking of congressmen a pay
What! Shall we dock a statesman s pay
W hen he goes out to mend his fences,
And thus compel him to defray
A portion of his own expenses?
No wonder that our solons yelp.
How can the populace expect 'em
To serve the state, if they won't help
To re-elect 'em?
If every time he lays off .work
To harvest votes but lately ripened,
Some hard-faced and officious clerk
Subtracts a hundred from his stipend,
No congressman will dare to quit
To kid along the sturdy granger,
Lest next year in his place may sit
A total stranger.
How often has a statesman strayed
To keep the home-fires brightly burning,
Serenely sure that he'd be paid
And paid in full, upon returning 1
For jollying the boys at home
His Uncle Samuel recompensed him;
But now each absence from the dome
Will count against him. ,
Alas! how fallen the estate
Of those who nobly serve the nation!
Vet mu3t they meet their altered fate
. With fortitude and resignation.
Unless, forsooth, to save their pride
(And also pay) they hold communion .
With one another, and decide
To join a union!
Two Theaters in

'Open Shop' Plan
Empress and Gayety. Make
Move Because of Inability

plan this season. Wilfrj Ledoux,
manager of the Empress, declared
yesterday he had decided cn the same
course adopted by Manager Johnson
of the Gayety sometime ago.
Inability to agree with the stage
hands, musicians and operators is
the reason for the move managers
'It ! Knit rnniivh to Ivwe the wace
scale dictated by the union, but when
it attempts to regulate the number
nf rnnii I shall pmnlov. I've had
enough," said Manager Ledoux.
The last straw, according to Air.
Ledoux, was the operators' demand
to have their wages on their next
contract cut only 10 per cent.
The music situation at the Or
pheum has been settled, the musicians
having accepted a 10 per cent cut.
