D, Oct. 5.—~A re- sponse from Secretary Tumulty in re- gard to President Wilson's attitude on prohibition received today by the prohibition national campaigning forces failed to satisfy them, and charges that the secretary had evaded the issue were freely made. What the prohibitionists, through Oliver W, Stewart, their campaign manager, asked the president almost two weeks ago was whether the Cal- ifornia wets were authorized to use his name as being opposed to state- wide prohibition. A reply by tele- graph at Bakersfield, Cal., on the fol- lowing day was requested, in order that the answer might be used in the ‘California fight. Tumulty's response went to San “rancisco by mail and did not reach the party until today at Parker, S, D. No_direct reference was made to the California situation in Secretary Tumulty's reply. He merely acknowl- edged receipt of the telegram, en- closed two form letters on the presi- dent's position and said that there was a third—the Grogan letter— which was inaccessible. The letters enclosed were written at different times to Rev. Thomas B Shannon of Newark, N. J., and W, B Haldeman of Louisville, In the Shan- non letter, written in May, 1911, the nresident declared for local option and declared that the liquor question was not susceptible of being made a part of a party program, The Halde- man letter of four years later said that the president would not attempt to approve or disapprove statewide prohibition in a state where he did not know conditions. It alse made reference to the Grogan letter, which, it appears, Mr. Haldeman did not think squared with the Shannon let- ter. The }Jrohibhion campaigners de- clare, after receiving Tumulty’s letter. that if the president does not take a stronger stand than for local option, they can only classify him as a friend of the “wet” interests, He Rents Chairs and Then Sells Seats to Parade Spectators Henry Ramson, negro janitor of the Patterson block, living at 2918 Sew- ard street, the police say, arranged with a furniture house for 500 chairs to be delivered yesterday, Last night he placed them on the sidewalk and rented each and every one of them for 75 cents each, and was commenc- ing to sell standing rooni, when Chief of Police Dunn and Captain Heitfeld came along to find out why the side- walk was blocked, They found Henry, hunch-backed with money. Most of the chairs were in front of a restaurant improvised at 1618 Farnam street by the Lowe Avenue Preshyterian church, and Henry said he had to cut his profits with the church erganization for the privilege, He was arrested, Health Officer Says City Water Contains Some Colon Bacilli In support of his contention that the city water needs boiling, Health Cemmissioner R. W. Connell last night said that bacteriological anal- ysis by Dr. Langfelt shows the pres- ence of some bacilli in the Omaha water supply. “Water may be chemically pure for consumption and still contain bacilli that makes it dangerous for use,” de- ¢lares Dr. Connell in reply to the statement of City Chemist Crowley and backing up his own warning that the public should boil the water be- fare drinking it. “l1 have talked with Mr. Howell” said Dr. Connell, “and he has agreed to flush the dead ends of the mums and make the conditions as safe as possible.” Ramblers Defeat Gas Company Crew ‘In Tourney Battle The first game of the $200 turna- ment staged under the auspices of the Douglas County Agriculture society at the county fair grounds, between tour .of Omaha's most formidable amateur teams was played yesterday afternoon between the Omaha Gas company, the team that copped sec- ond place in the Greater Omaha league, and the Ramblers, champions of the National league Husband Says Wife Had Three Husbands And Two Divorces Complaining that he was induced to. marry Annie Adams under. false pretenses, John K.

Lincoln, Oct. 5.—(Special,)—Re- ports of republican gains all over the state and of a general lining up of the voters for the republican candidates from Hughes down the line to the legislative candidates, continue to come to the headquarters of the re- publican state committee.
