e | WOMEN WARDS OF THE STATE Argument Made by Norris Brown in Non- pareil Laundry Oase. SUPPORTS THE FEMALE LABOR LAW Attorney Holds State 8 a4 Protect Women from Overtaxing Physi- eal Capaeity for Welfare of Soclety. (From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, April 13.—(Special.)—In an argument before the supreme court in sup- port of the female labor law the State des partment of justice takes the position that women are wards of the tate and for the future welfare of society, should be pre- vented by law from overtaxing their phys- fcal capacity. The constitutiopality of the act 1s questioned In the case of the state agaings, the Nonparell Steam laundry, ap- pealed from Douglas county. The brief is by Norrls Brown, who s Conceding for the sake of argument, but not admitting its truth, that a statuie is invalid which undertakes to limit the hours bor for men, jt does not follow that the act in question, which affects women, is lkewlse unconstitutional. Women havé no participation In the affairs of govern- ment, excent to bear thelr whare of Its burdens and all_of its future defenders. They hive no voice in- determining, its policies or expending its revenues. They BPe graciousiy’ permitted, however, to pay thelr portion of the public taxes. In a sense, they are wards of the state. While undor the law of Nebraska they have the Hiberty and are competent 1o make con- tracts, yet the legisiature, recognizing their Physical Incapaclty to labor unreasonably, wisely limited their hours of toil to sixty week. Woman, however stron t she may be, is by nature and th an's unequal in the fleld o fanar. Uitha 1aw was enacted for her benefit interest of labor gen- lly. The g eaith of her kind and ugh her \hc general health of soclety through It the general welfare of the state, demands suc and Jusiities its enactment by the legislature. Purean Without Statisticn. In anoer case Attorney General Prout suggests to the court that a bureau of in- dustrial statistics, without statistics or means of providing them. would be a strange institution. The plea is made in the case Instituted by Deputy Labor Com- missioner Watson to test the valldity of the law which requires county assessors to gather information for the State Bureau of Labor and Industrial Statietics. Hearine in the action will be before the subrems court next Tuesday. The law has been attacked on the grounds that it is uncon- stitutional and because It provides no jompensation for the assessor performing the duties. It is asserted by the state's attornevs that the eollecting of statistics was one of the chlef concerns of the legislature in enacting the law. The method providad by the original act was not effective and in 1897 the legislaturé by amendment pro- vided a different method. It is contended that in the title to the amendatory act its was unnecessary to declare a purpose to impose additional duties upon assessors since the title of the original bill was sufficlent to cover the subject. As.to the constitutionality of the act it rit, in our is argued: While there 18 no m udgment In the contention that the law in invaid Pecause no compensation is provided for the assessors, oyt is, under the gen: gral revenus ‘acty 1uil compenagtion v performance of all duties mnn.

Crelghton-Orpheu Quite an attractive variety characterizes the bill for this week at the Creighton- Orpheum. It is distinctly vaudeville from first to last, and each act possesses some merit. Lew Sully is among his friends and bis monologue and songs in “white face” win him call after call from the Omaha people who admire his peculiar tal- ent. Burton and Brookes are singing sev- eral new songs and talking some new talk in addition to ‘“‘More Work for the Under- taker,” and it seemed hard for them to convince their hearers yesterday that the turn bas an end. Mlle; Chester has a beau- tiful setter dog, and with It gives a series of posed pictures that delight everybody and fairly enraptures the hunters who see them. The posing of the dog is marvelous. True to life, of course, for the animal would hardly be taught to fake, and ‘“stand,” “point,” ‘“charge” and ‘“heel” are correct attitudes assumed with the ease of a well broken hunter, and held with a patience almost beyond conception. The Mathieus do a clever juggling stunt, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Kelcy have an entertaining sketch. Mureal sings with some effect, and Sullivan and Webber do a laughable Irish sketch to the eatisfaction of all. At the Boyd. “Human Hearts’ filled the Boyd last night, and no one went away dissatisfied. Whether the plece has any dramatic merit or not, it has the essential qualities of a “thriller,” and that the main thing with the patrons of that class of drama. Hisses for the villain, tears for the suffering her- oine, and cheers for the hero, who triumphs end were indulged in fully. And in “Human Hearts” the villainy is vil- lainous and the virtue wears a scintillant halo from post to wire, so that no one can miss out on guessi: the winner. One || pight was as long as the company could stay. MR. KELLY’S LATEST IDEA The service at the First Methodist church t evening was entirely devoted to music, the program, arranged by the director of music, Thomas J. Kelly, in- cluding only works of American composers, a departure from customary arrangements of this kind. This was the first of a “His- torical Cycle of Composers,” suggesting that future programe will be made up ex- clusively of works of composers of other pations. The compositions of Dudley Buck, Gaston Dethelr, Dr. Leopold Damrosch. Ethelbert Nevin and others were included and the congregation which filled the church until mapy were standing presented a beautiful and impressive scene. The vested choir, one of the most accom- & saloon holdin merely a llgquor tax certificate, |t was much easier to obtain one in a Raines law hotel. The buyer also found that while last Sunday he was served either with a plate of cheese of crackers with his drink, or was given a sandwich to eat or not as he chose, today he could ont buy a drink without also buying a sandwich. Saloon men who were seen during the day seemed to think that the police ac- tivity had much to do with the saloons being kept closed tightly, for the most part, and argued that the hotel men were doing more business because they had been studying what they could and could not do with impunity. The Ralnes law hotels throughout the city were as a rule ex- ceedingly well patronized. T Districts Quiet. In the “Tenderloin"” district there were very few places without a hotel license that made any attempt to do business. The district, it was sald, was closed tighter than had been known in years. The plan of selling in rooms overhead the saloon and similar ruses were dome away with, seemingly for the reason that the dealérs thought . the trouble too great and the compensation too small. The police of this district were very active as well, and there was but a small attempt to do business. Up to 7 o'clock In the evening there had mot been an arrest in the precinct for violation of the ex- cise law. In the West Thirty-seventh street district where the trouble started two weeks ago, the same condition pre- valled, The police were active. the sa- loons closed and the Raines law hotels do- nig a big business. There was but two arrests In daylight hours. In the other parts of the city somewhat similar con- ditions prevailed. TAGGART TO LEAD DEMOCRATS Indianapolis Man s Looked Upon as Successor to National Ch man Jones. A special dispatch from Indianapolis to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, says: The impression prevalls in political circles in Indianapolis and throughout the « that the selection of Thomas Taggert . member of the executive committee of the national committee means that the party leaders have him in mind for chalman of the national democratic committee, to sue- t year and a half thal Taggart is ambitious to suc- ceed to the position, and that he had made every effort to sécure pledges of support from the chairmiam of organizations of the various states. With only one or two ex- ceptions he has been successful. Taggart is well known as a splendid or- anizer, and his strength in Indiana is per- haps greater than that of any other demo- cratic leader. It is Taggart's desire to secure the exécitive position so that he can make a strong ' personal campaign throughout the states of the middle west in an effort to prevent the nomination of Senator Fairbanks for the presidency on the republican ticket. Taggart's friends declare that his elevation to the leadership of the na- tional democratic party is omly a matter of a few months. Taggart himself, how- plished and best directed in the city. rend- {ever, has nothing to say on the subfect ered a number of anthems. the soloists belng Mrs. Thomas J. Kelly, soprano; Mrs. Martha Miller Kelly, contralto: Walker Parker, tenor, and Bdmund Steln, basso. Mr. Kelly rendered two organ solos, “‘Ave Marle,” by Gaston Dethier, a leading or- gan composer of the younger American &chool, and ‘“Narclssus,” an offertorv by Ethelbert Nevin. Mrs. Kelly sang the solo “The Homeland" (Hanscom); Mrs. Martha Miller Kelly, Bow Down Thine Ear” (Parker), and Walker Parker, “Jerusalem’ (Parker). The church of St. Cecelia (Catholic) wi comfortably filled last night by an audience which ussembled to hear a musical pro. gram of much excellence. The partici- pants were: Miss McDermott, soprano; “rl Morlarty, soprano; Mrs. Myron Smith, contralto; Miss Graham, contralto; Mr. John McCreary, Harry Burkley, tenors; Mr, | Marton, and Mr., Emmet McCreary, bassos. Mrs. Smith made a splendid impression with her beautiful contralto volce. Mr. John Mc'Creary’s tenor solos created much comment. Mr. Barton was in good voice and sang with much vigor. Mr. Burkley sang with his usual style. The small part allotted to Mr. Bmmet McCreary was ar- stically doge.

AUSTIN, Tex., April 13.—Governor Sayre has investigated the conditions which pr vall in Zapata county and today issued an appeal calling on the people of Texas to } material for two base hits up his eleeve for | that oceasion, to which he added wild. pitches !and bases on balls galore, and the general | opinton of the spectators is that he had | better go back to Red Oak. | Any Other 014 Rowe. Had O'Leary put a class pitcher in the box the defeat might not have been so | overwhelming, but even (at that Omaha | would have won by a fat score, for the boys had thelr batting garb on for falr. | Again, a Cunningham iIn the middle of tha | alamond would not have a alled the D { Moines Dalliers much, for our own slab |artists were invincible. For five innines Brown threw balls that sent the crowd |Into an ecatasy. One soratch hit was all off him, and the way he teased out the | pop-up files was a joy forever. “It can't be beat,” was the verdict of the people, and when Grabam came on in the sixth there was a general feeling of pity for a man who was compelled to go in behind such a | pace as Brown had set. But Oscar never smiled nor sighed. Three minutes warming up with Jack Hayes, and the new battery took Its place. Then began as fine an exhibition of treacherous tossing imagination can picture. Even Brown's work came near paling before this new light. Again one little hit, with seven strike outs and mot a single base on balls. To a bunch of fans who had fostered doubts because of his previous uncertainty Graham proved out then and there. Short Trips for low 8o not a Hawkeye got past first base, and only two of them even saw that coveted baven. Little more can be sald. The gamec was practically erroriess, Des Moines mak- ing the only mistake chronicled. The rest can be only praise for the Omahans. Stone probably belongs the individual day's palm, for he led the hitting with a triple and two doubles, while his race horse catch of a swift foul against the bleacher fender in right fleld, was easily the fielding hit of the day. Graham hit a two-bagger his first time up, and when he followed this with that su- perior piece of pitching the crowd voted him a raise of salary on the spot, Burg, Calhoun, Dolan and .Stewart. were all’ there with two bits, each, and. Jack -Hayes handled Graham like a veteran. The occasion was one of general congratu- extend rellef to that portion on account of the severe drouth which has prevalled.
