Kennedy has tossed his derby into the ring and is to be a candidate for the United States sen- ate In 1916, While this had long been fore- shadowed, the definite announce- ment has only come now., Mr, Ken- nedy is thus far the only republican in the race, but other entries are ex-| pected. “As for lssues’' sald Mr. Kennedy, “I will take them up from time to time as the occasion arises. There is really | no need of discussing the lssues that may | come up It is enough to say that I| will make the race. BEverything looks | propitious and I am going to make a fight worth while.” ¢ [ Beat Hiteheock Omee. | Mr. Kennedy defeated Gilbert M, Hitch- | cock for congressman from the Sl‘(‘fllul} district in 144, Hitchcock was then run- | ning for re-election. In 1%6 Hitcheock | defeated Kennedy again for the place In 197 Governor Sheldon of Nebraska made Kennedy a fire and police com- miseloner of Omaha. Mr. Kennedy was chairman of the re- publican state committee ‘n 1911, openad the republican convention in Lincoln in | 1912 and presided unti] Governor Aldrich was elected temporary chairman and pre- cipitatel the split | Resides handiing a large iegal practice. | Mr. Kennedy hae had time to take ac- tlve part in many important public af- fairs in Omaha. He was a prime mover in organizing the Douglas Hotel com- | pany which built the Fontenelle hotel. | He is a partner to the Saunders-Kennedys| Building company which erected the fine | sew building at Eighteenth and Douglas streets recently completed. He has other | large builaing projects planned, notably at the northeast corner of Sixteenth and | Douglas stroets, where he has cbtained | a long term lease. Came Here as a Lad. i Jolin L. Kennedy was born in Ayrshire, | Seotland, October 183, He came to Americn when a lad of 19 years. For| two years he woiked on a farm in La | Salle county, Iilinole. Then ha left the | farm and ertered Knox college, Gales- burg, 1ll. Thovgh he did not remain to! complete his course, Knox college has since conferred an honorary degree upon | him. In 1882 he way graduated in the | College of Law of the University of Jowa. He then came to Omahg where he | has been enzagcd in the practice of law | and iis numerous public and semi-pubtic | activities since that time. | Swimming Pool | Eor Spring Lake . Park is Proposed The Recreation board vesterday'atfer- | noon approved the plans of Superintend- ent English, relating to improvement of | the swimming pool in Spring Lake park. (t is ploposed to designate days for men and boys and other days for women and girls; also, to install shower baths for use of bathers before entering the pool. | The proposition of establishing a pool | in Riverview park went over for a week, as Mr. English wants to submit to the | board his general program of work here | before action is taken on this pool, It is estimated the pool will cost $7,50, which Mr. English feels is a deep cut into his budget for the balance of this year. An automobile will be bought for the new superintendent of public recreation. Police Find Child . Hidden Under Bed | Although the neighborhood about Seventeenth and Leavenworth streets was | in a turmoil on her account, 2-year-old Claire Decker, imprisoned by bedclothes beneath & bed fn a flat at 1701 Leaven- worth, slept soundly through it all. Po-, lice Officer L. §. Thrasher found her by accident | The little girl's father hid her there, police say, and he is now being sought Sometime ago, Mrs, Kate Decker, 1508 North Seventeenth street, filed suft | against her husband, Harry, a machinist, | charging cruelty and nonsupport. Later she filed complaint against him in police court, charging maliclous destruction of her property. He was being sought by | police when he entered the Seventeenth | street home in his wife's absence and | took away his little daughter. | When Mrs. Decker returned, she called | the police. Officers O. P. Peterson and | Thrasher located Decker at the home of his stepmother on Leavenworth street and with the assistance of City Prosecutor Fred Anheuser and several others, sur-| rounded the place. Decker managed to | escape, however, and after much search- | ing, the child was found hidden beneath | a bed, with a big plle of bed clothes con- | cealing and nearly suffocating her The search attracted a big crowd, and | before the officers found the child, nearly 200 people had collected to watch the pro- | ceedings. Allen Goes Onto 1 Detective Force! George Allen, former member of the police” moral squad, and lately assigned to traffic detail, has been appointed a first class detective by Commissioner Kugel, and will be detalled to work in South Omaha, under the captains of the Second district station house. In making the appointment officlal, Acting Chief Dempsey took occasion lui highly commend the work of Allen, saying: | “Mr. Kugel has a system all his own for trying out the mettle of men. Allen has successfully passed that test, T am happy to say. I belleve he will be one of the most successful plainclothes op- eratives in the detective bureau.” Helps Weak Kidueys and Lumbago.

The act did not show any more darint that ft would to rob a child of fts candy, out on some of | the streets of Omaha. People golng into the park are not allowed to carry arms for protection and I don't suppose that the men and women on thése stages car- ried any weapons except pocket knives and hat pins ““Tha robbery will not hurt the business. Instead, I fancy that it will encourage it. People are of an inquisitive turn of mind and they will flock to the park now to | learn just where and how this holdup was pulled off." May Open Uncle Sam's Eyes. Asslistant General Passenger Agent Murray of the Union Pucific sald “I fancy that this robbery will be an | eye opener to the government. It ought to result in Increasing the number of guards and possibly the issuance of an order permitting tourists to ocarry at ““While the passengers of twelve stages have been robbed, that does not mean that robberies are to become frequent. I venture to say that even If the government does nothing to Increase the police protection in the park, it may be perhaps there will never be another. ‘‘“eems to me this robbery i& about the best advertisement the park ever got. It will be heralded all over the world and people will flock there just to see where it occurred und how it was done. ENGLISH PLANS TO BUILD SOME TENNIS COURTS Superintendent ®nglish cf the publie rec reation system expects to establish ten- nis courts in connectzon with the play ground system. He hopes to get at this work this season. His general program will include the placing of these courts | in vacant spaces under supervision of neighborhood organizations, ‘Next week Mr. English will consider | several applicants for positions f play | An office on the fourth floor of the city hall is being prepared for the new | superintendent.

Dresher Brothers, the Dry Clean- ers and Dyers with the $57,000 plant ‘at 2211-2213 Farnam St., are as| much responsible for the present | feather boa craze in Omaha as any-| body. You see it was this way; the mo-| ment Dreshers heard that feather | boas were quite the caper in the east they thought to themselves lhnl! tons of old feathers were laying! about Omaha homes; feathers that might as well be made up into new | feather boas as to meet with an in- glorious ending in the rag bag. 8o Dreshers took some old feath- ers; cleaned them, dyed them, trim- med them, made them up into boas and found that their own product was even superior to the (ulhar[ boas of the shops. Dresher immediately advertised to! their abilities in this direction and | the result is that the Dresher plume | and feather department “has been working early and late to satisfy tho' demand for feather boas, because | the prospective wearers knew that feather boas made from old feathers would cost tly less than new boas purchased at the stores. Let this be a tip to you if you have some old feathers and care for a really becoming style. A feather boa touches off a woman's throat vary' charmingly. | Dreshers maintain a speciai Plume and Feather Dept. and do all of the required cleaning, eurling and dye- ing, Phone Tyler 345 and ask for the “Feather Lady " Or leave work at Dresher The Tailors, 15615 Farnam St., or at the Dresher branch in the Btores.
