Bath House John Will
Ask Knicker Ban, la Report.
Recent announcement that John J,
Coughlin, alderman from the First
ward, variously and widely known
as "Bathhouse John" and "The Lath."
would introduce an ordinance barring
women from wearing knickerbockera
in public, recalls the fact .that Mr.
Coughlin introduced a similar meas
ure 27 years ago and it died. The
1895 ordinance called for a fine of
$J to $8 for each offense. Under
the 1922 model each violation would
cost up to $200.
"Any female person," ran Mr.
Coughlin'a original measure, "shall
be prohibited to ride or attempt to
ride any bicycle, tricycle or to pub
licly promenade while dressed or ar
rayed in costumes commonly known
as bloomers, knickers, baseball at
tire or trousers.
It was filed and remained in ob
livion more than a quarter of a cen
tury. Meteorologist Tells Why
Weather "Ain't Like It Wai."
A list of answers to make amateur
weather experts, who insist that
"things ain't like they used to be."
admit the error of their ways has
been evolved by T. A. Donnell,
Donnell, meteorologist, in the Cm
cs bo weather bureau.
"The winters aren't as long as they
used to bel" .
"The winters aren't as cold as they
used to bet"
"The snow isn't as deep as it used
to bel"
These three sentences, according
.lo Mr. Donnell, explain why the
weathefe man a lut is not a bed ot
roses, "ss.i ., .
"Records" show." he said, "that the
weather in-the United States hasn't
shown any appreciable change in the
last hundred years.
"Those . who believe that the
weather is milder, now forget that in
their youth jthey -lived an. houses
which ' were "poorly heated, making
the cold more'rtbticeable.'
"When they tell you that the snow
used to be deeper, they forget that
their legs used to be shorter. ' t
Jilted Suitor Publishes
Reports of Girl's Death.
A joke is a joke, but to read three
separate notices .of her funeral in
tjvo weeks is too much, according
to Miss Emily Moll. At the last
funeral Miss Emily had to entertain
Mono the mourners,, who had read
the third- notice. .
Her mother had fled, being unable
to stand the strain of meeting the
constant stream of solicitors for
tombstones and cemetery lots.
Miss Moll explains that it is all
thj fault of a rejected suitor, who
has been inserting notices of her
death in the newspapers merely to
bother her. .-. , - ., v
The attorney for her father was
reported to be hot on the trail of
the jilted suitor. V
Will Ask Punishment
of Careless Pedestrian, ' '
u Dirt punishment .for the reckless
pedestrian as well as the careless
motorist, will be asked by Chicago
automobile clubs, according to Dr.
William Fuller.
"When speed, maniacs are locked
up; when pedestrians learn that they,
too, should share responsibility for
(.voiding accidents, and when the
public streets nd longer are used for
public; playgrounds, then, will auto
mobile accidents become less fre
quent." "

Mr. Jlcrron's connection with the or
ganization as editor of the Nebraska
Union Farmer. The editor was in
vited to bring his wife to the Y.
M. C. A. for a little "blowout." but
he was led to believe that the din
ner was to welcome C McCarthy,
the new manager of the state ex
change, to the Omaha group of
union folk. He was told that it was
a surprise and not to say a word
about it to Mr. McCarthy. He didn't.
It was not until after the toast list
was completed and State President
Osborn arose to present a fine gold
pencil that Mr. Herron realized the
dinner was for him.

Hear Talk by Bryan
Lincoln, April1 30. (Special Tele
gram.) William Jennings Bry.an
talked on "The Prodigal Son" this
morning to convicts at the state
penitentiary at the request of
Warden Fenton. He likened the rc
curn of the biblical wandering son
to his father's door and the happiness
which ensued, to the reward in store
for all men if they "turn to the
right." ,. . ,
Mr. Bryansaid that many sayings
taken as truths are false in their 'en
tirety, and pointed to one uttered
years ago that "opportunity knocks
but once." ' '
Continuing, he declared this false,
and read an article refuting it. He
promised to have sufficient copies
of this article printed so every man
in the penitentiary may get one.

three mouths of this year shows a
profit of $302.81. The association
operates an elevator, store and pro
cuce station. Heavy losses were
sustained in 1921, which were attri
buted to poor management. At the
heinnning of this year the associa
tion was on the verge of bankruptcy.

and experienced teachers over $100

teachers' salarirs are out of line with
other wages, lhe county union also
went on record in favor of four road
overseers to each precinct, and ap
pointed a committee to take the
question up with the Saline county
hoard. It is held that the practice
of having only one overseer to the
precinct has been expensive and un
satisfactory.
Close Out Implements.
Guide Kock. The Farmers Un

Guide Rock, which has been operat

ed to close out its implement stocK.
Practically all of the losses sustain
ed by the association in the depres
sion was on implements. The asso
ciation will still handle farm ma
chinery, however, but without carry
ing a stock. Farmers will register
their needs in this line, and then the
machines will be ordered from the
state exchauge'in Omaha. It is be
lieved that this plan' will save the
farmers 5 to 10 per cent, compared
with carrying a stock locally. The
cream station has inaugurated a
plan of paying for cream in trade

ables the association to pay a bet

Bryan Speaks to
2J Democrats at
Harmony Meet
Talks at Lincoln Three Ifuun
on Tojiici Hauging From
the Tariff to Par-
Miiii.m.
Lincoln, April 3d (Special -Tele
gram,) 'J he William Jennings
Hryau of old, relentless loe of the
liquor triliic. unwilling to remem
ber it is no longer a national iue,
because, in hit opinion, it i still
paramount, stood before 250 demo
crats at an attempted harmony ban
quet here last night and talked for
three hours on subject! varying from
the tariff to the reported relation
ship of the human race to the ape.
Bryan warned hi democratic
brothers of a quarter of a century ago
that the liquor interests are still ac
tive and are attempting to elect
congress which will either wink at
lax enforcement of the Volstead act
or rrnral it.
"No party can w in public approval
anymore by appealing to the under
world support," lie shouted. "Thank
God the upper world is in the ascen
dancy now.'
Continuing. Brvan reviewed the
history of hu memorable fight for
prohibition. He paid his toll for the
fight he waged in refusing the ten
der of a coveted United States sen-
atorship from Nebraska because to
win it he would have been forced to
bow to the will of the liquor inter
cM, Ilryan told his attentive audi
ence.
"1 alvas wanted to be a United
States senator and once during mv
lite here among you Gilhert M.
Hitchcock told me he wouldn t run
if I cared to enter the race. But I
knew I would owe my election to the
liquor interests and would have to
bow to them and I refused to keen
on with my fight. Thank God, I'v;
won.
I see people here tonight who
have occupied seats at my meetings
here for 30 years," Mr. Bryan said.
"I like to sec the spirit of harmony
here tonight. Some times I have been
forced to perform serious operations
on some members, but they always
were for the ultimate good of the
democracy."
Mr. Bryan stated that his strength
came not from himself but from the
policies he advocated. "A party to
come back must work for the people
and not the offices," he said. "That's
what you must do."
Bryan said the dominant issue in
the national campaign would be the
revenue law unless all signs fail. He
predicted a democratic landslide. The
audience roared when he. said: "I
ought to be the one who knows the
sign of a landslide."
Pass Kevenue Bill.
"This administration has had more
trouble with its revenue bill than
any other. I expected such trouble
and waited rather anxiously for the
curtain to rise."
Mr. Bryan described the outline of
the revenue bill by becretary Mellon
as the worst "piracy in history." He
said the republican caucus should be
given credit for refusing to sanction
the alleged Mellon plan to free war
profiteers from taxes.
Mr, Bryan declared every act of
congress under the Harding adminis
tration, worthy of public praise, had
its incipiency with the agricultural
bloc. Mr. Bryan said the anti-option
bill of the republcan administration
was a good measure.. He said the
packers bill was fairly decent.
He blamed the federal reserve
board for reduction of farm prices
and attacked Secretary Mellon for a
statement credited to him against an
attempt of congress to put a farmer
on the board. "We also should have
a laborer and a business man, who
is not a banker," he declared.
"The reason we have some good
io undissolved lump
to stick to your garments
and
spot them. It entirely dissolves the
dirt in the tiny meshes of fabric and
therefore requires less rubbing and
less rinsing.

J. N. Norton was called on lirst,
Norton said high taxes .was primar

years ago. "I ve been running ever

asserted the liquor question was set

he would vote to sustain the vol

hdward Dougherty, who Hall said
represented the American Legion of
Omaha, spoke, but declined to de
fend the leadership of Arthur Mullen
in the fight against the American
Legion language law. Dougherty
told funny stories.
Uan Butler of Umaha slammed J.

"Understand. I am a democratic

seeking the endorsement of any other
party."

Brother Charley Bryan had a
cold and had to decline to speak.
Arthur Mullen talked next and
Mullen also scattered the discontent.
He said present taxes were next door
to confiscation. He appealed to the
independent voters to join the dem
ocrats as their "salvation."
"I want to serve notice on repub
lican editors of Nebraska that for
two months I will close my law of
fice and go out to fight the new rev
enue law, the most unjust, un-American
law ever on the statute book,"
Mullen said.
He criticized the attempt of the re
publican administration to drag out
intangibles for taxation for the first
time in history. "

Plea to Withdraw
Military Control
of Haiti Refused
SecrrUry Iluplie. Trll Coin
inittee of Lawycra Their
Argument Appear In.
aJtHjuate an One-Sulcil.
Washington, Apr.l 30 Another
plea for immediate termination of
lhe military occupation of Haiti met
with a rrfual at the State depart
ntrnt.
A committee of lawyer who
brought lo the department a brief
declaring the occupation lo be out
of harmony with American prin
ciples, were told plainly by Secre'
tary Hughes that their arguments
appeared to hint most inadequate and
one-sided.
He added that the department was
fully advised from it own sources
regarding all the elements of the
situation and was working to re
establish tranquility to that Ameri
can forces could he withdrawn as
soon as things would warrant.
Charge Prestige Destroyed.
The delegation that railed on the
secretary reported the National
Fopular Government League and the
Foreign l'olicy association, two or
ganizations which are charging that
the policy of the administration con
stitutes unwarranted interference In
Haiti' domestic affairs, is against
the principles of the American con
stitution, destroys American prestige
before the world, and lays the Amer
ican government open to accusations
of tyranny and imperialism. Those
who acted as spokesmen for the com
mittee were: Senator Robert L.
Owen of Oklahoma; Louis Marshall
of New York and Michael Francis
Dovle of Philadelphia.
In reply to their representations,
Secretary Hughes said:
"It is a pleasure to meet you per
sonally and to give you this oppor
tunity to make your statements with
regard to the relations of the United
States to Haitai. I cannot, how-
e-er, permit my silence to be misin
terpreted. I must say that I regard i
the statements that have been made
as most inadequate and one-sided.
All Angles Considered.
"I am fully conscious of interna
tional obligations. This situation
with which we arc confronted is an
existing situation which calls for a
careful study and a very wise exam
ination and decision as to policy.
You need not suppose that this study
has not been made. You need not
suppose that all the matters that are
involve, have not ecn considered.
Quite the contrary is the case.
"This government is proceeding
in this matter at this time in the de
sire to secure, in the first place, an
effective co-ordination of the action
which is being taken in connection
with administration, so that diffi
culties which have existed in the
past may be removed." 4 '
