Sorensen Gives
Different Angle
in Lapidus CasJ
Hints Imported Gangsters May Have
Been Responsible Free Two
After Quizzing.
Omaha Police delved deep into
the political life of Harry Lapidus,
president of the Omaha Fixture and
Supply company. Wednesday night in
an effort to unearth a clue that might
lead them to the assassin who late
Tuesday night shot and killed the
Jewish political leader as he was
driving home.
Lapidus was shot three times in
the head. He died almost instantly.
Whether he was shot after he hd
halted his car in response to a query
was a debated question.
Attorney General Sorensen gave
police a new angle to work upon
when he announced that he had
learned "from a very reliable source"
that a gang cf Kansas City or St.
Louis gangsters had tome to Omaha
last week and that "something big
was to be pulltd off." Sorensen ex
pressed the opinion that the killing
of Lapidus may have been "the big
thing" his informant talked about.
Ar. Enemv cf Gangdom.
Lapidus had been a big factor be
hind Sorensen in the latter'o "clean
up" orders to Omaha and was known
as a staunch enemy of gangdom. Hi.
latest activity. Sorensen said, was a
trip to Washington to confer with
Amos W. W. Woodcock, national pro
hibition director, regarding stricter
prohibition enforcement.
He had bren a leader in a fight
to wipe out liquor racketeers in Om
aha, and had carried his fight for
the reappointment of R. P. Samar
dick, whom he charged was ousted
thru "frameups" by bootlegging fac
tions, as federal chief for this area.
He had appeared before the civil
service commission in Washington to
urge that Samardick be placed back
cn the force.
Twenty years ago Lapidus was
the leader of a group that brought
the first successful ouster proceed
ings in the stat? of Nebraska. They
were against South Omaha officials.
Fifteen years ago he was a leader in
the "reform administration" that
carried the city and swept into the
city hall.
Jack Be Porte Rearrested.
Police early Wednesday night re
leased Jack De Porte, twenty-five,
who was alleged to have threatened
Lapidus recently because he believed
Lapidus was attempting to break up
a romance between him and th
daughter of one of Lapidus' employes.
A few hours later De Porte was
rearrested for further investigation.
The crdfr for his rearrest was giv
en when statements made by De
Porte earlier in the day failed to
stand up under police investigation.
Two friends of De Porte were also
arrested. Those two men had offered
to substantiate De Porte's alibi as tc
his whereabouts at the time of the
shooting.
Gerald Cunningham, twenty-eight.
Omaha, step sen of the late C. E.
Weldy. Missouri Valley, la., and who
was arrested for questioning regard
ing the shooting, was released on
bond subject to call. Cunningham,
police said, undoubtedly knew noth
ing about the shooting. Weldy was
killed several months ugo in an auto
mobile accident involving the Weldy
anel Lapidus cars.
Detective Inspector Sutton said he
was now inclined u "believe that
lapidus was killed by a business or
p-ersonal enemy who had halted the
Lapidus tar to "demand a showdown
and who killed Lapidus in a rage
when the latter resisted."
REFUGEES GIVEN SHELTER
Marks, Miss. Food, clothing,
warm fires and sleeping quarters
brought Christmas cheer to hundreds
of refugees in the Mississippi delta
who were driven from their homes
by floodwaters. Rivers are at flood
stage in northern Mississippi river,
however, there is little fear it will
get out cf bounds. It was falling at
Cairo, III., and at St. Louis, but there
was a gradual rise at Memphis,
Tenn., and below.
Officials of the Red Cross chapter
at Marks said food, clothing and
warmth would furnish the major
part of the Christmas cheer for plan
tation refugees. The homeless have
been grouped together in camps of
Quitman county at Marks. Lambert
and Crowder. The rains have ceased
and the Lalobusha and Coldwater
divers are receding in the upper Mis
sippi delta, permitting the refugees to
start back home.
Clarksdale. Miss. A story of mis
ery in the inundated areas in the
Tallahatchie river basin was brought
here by flood refuges who said there
has been some loss of life. They could
give no estimate, however, as to how
many were dead. More than 100
families were said to have fled their
homes in the basin late Wednesday
to towns in the higher regions.
PAIR LONG MISSING FOUND
Winnipeg Stewart McRorie, pil
ot, and C. N. Forest, mining engineer,
missing for nearly two weeks on a
prospecting flight to the Island lake
gold field, were on their way home
Wednesday, safe and well. Mild wea
ther and a supply ot food and cloth
ing tided them thru the long isola
tion in the Charron lake section,
eighty miles from their goal, where
they had been ftyced down.
A. Westgaard, a pilot, who had
secured the wild area in a plane,
found the men Tuesday night. They
were walking toward Island lake,
having abandoned their airplane
loaded with prospectors' supplies.
Westgaard brought them here by air.
The fliers said they attempted a land
ing on a small lake. Their skiis cut
thru the ice acd they were uobte
to extricate the machine. Island lake
is 350 miles northeast of Winnipeg.
TARIFF POLL IS PLABNED
Helena, Mont. Labor organiza
tions in the mining states of the
west are to be polled on their attitude
toward a copper tariff, James D. Gra
ham, president of the Montana Fed
eration of Labor, said. A resolution,
addressed to the state's congressional
delegation, and intended for adoption
by each labor body, says that agri
culture, transportation, public utili
ties, lumbering and many other lines
of industry employing labor are ser
iously affected by curtailment of the
operation of the copper mines.
It recites that without a tariff the
country is a dumping gTound for for
eign metal, produced more cheaply
with "peon or semislave labor" and
because of a higher copper content in
the ore. Since fabricated copper al
ready is protected by tariff, a duty of
six cents a pound would net affect
the ultimate consumer, the resolu
tion sets forth.

Eeppy That Nation Sees the Need
fcr "Refreshed Idealism"
Presidential Candidate
Winston-Salem. N. C, Dec. 23. A
desire to fight "whether carrying a
banner or marching in the ranks"
for "a revived liberalism and a re
freshed idealism in this country,"
w;;s expre-ssed by Newtcn D. Baker
of Ohio, in a letter made public here
Tuesday.
The letter was written to Santon
ford Martin, editor cf the Winston
Salem Journal, who published an edi
torial December 15. calling upon the
former secretary of war not to dis
courage those who were working for
his nomination for the presidency by
the democratic party.
"Aside from the personal happi
ness, which I trust is not improper
for me to have, my greatest joy at
the moment is coming from the fact
that practically all fjf the comment
which suggests a presidential can
didacy fcr me is based upon the need
of a revived liberalism and a refresh
ed idealism in the country," Mr.
Baker wrote. "To that cause I am
deeply committed and for it I want
to fight, whether carrying a banner
or marching in the ranks seems to
me to make little difference. If it
should seem strange to you to have
me say that I wanted to fight for
idealism and liberalism. I can only
say that I have slipped into a mili
tary phrase to rccurately express a
conviction which grows with me;
namely, that even great pacific
causes have to be batled for, not al
ways with carnal v.eapons. it is true,
but with as much resoluteness and
often with as much courage as is re
quired bv military objectives."

Since the start of the famous bridge battle be
tween the Lenz and Culbertson teams, at New
York, for the purpose of testing the relative
merits of the opposing systems of bidding, much
peculation has arisen as to the domestic life of
Mr. Ely Culbertson and his partner and wife.
Some psychologies with the aid of a lot of olegies
and isms, tells us that a husband and wife com
bination as a bridge team is anything but desir
able. That if they don't bicker over the card
table, then they will surely do so at home. But
in the case of the Culbertsons this is pure balder
dash; for they are not only experts of a bridge
system, but are also experts in the ideal system of
married life. Their smooth teamwork, both in the
By Alice Denhoff
New York. Dec. 24. There are
two "Culbertson Systems."
One, of course, is the Culbertson
method of playing bridge that has
prc-vipitated a revolution wherever the
game is played. The other, although
not so well known, is of much more
importance, cf a much vaster signifi
cance. It is the system on which the
new method of playing bridge Is
built. It is, in short, the Culbertson
System of matrimonial life, the code
of ethics, of behaviorism, of conduct,
that exists between the renowned
team. And it is more revolutionary,
mere interesting than even the famed
battle of bridge that is now in pro
gress. Both the Culbertsons, the dynamic,
fcr:eful. delightful Ely and the femi
nine, analytical, sweet and brilliant
Josephine, subscribed to it.
Neither of them has formulated it.
It is a fusion of their pre-marital
ideas and ideals. It is the recognition
of each other not as a man or woman,
husbend or wife, but as a human be
ing, endowed with reason, intelli
gence, freedom of thought and action,
and above all, ret-pect for these same
qualities in each other and in all
other humans.
Although the world wants to talk
bndge with the Culbertsons, the wise
man or woman talks with this marve
lous couple on other subjects. For
instance, the Culbertson System that
pertains to the education of children,

New York, Dec. 23. Having spent

the 1932 American league race.
Jack SaltzgavcJr, brilliant ycung
Second baseman from St. Faul, and

Saltzgaver's introduction to a Yan

mark the passing of the illustrious

card game and
ally applied in the upbringing of the
two little Culbtrtsons, Joyce Nadja,
tigc-d four, and Ely Bruce, aged two
and a half years. They are to be
brought up on a carefully mapped-out
plan. The girl will be educated ex
rt!y as is the hoy, so there will be
no sex interiority. And when they
are about seven, they will be taught
the game of bridye. Their learning
f t the game of life began directly
they were born. And so it isn't sur
prising at all that beautiful Josephine
Culbtrtson is a firm ad vocal e of the
theory that bridge should be part of
the school curriculum.
One knows instantly that this is
Mrs. Culbertson's belief, not because
bridge has brought the couple wealth
and fame, but because she believes in
the good qualities of the game. She
believes that as a system of mental
trlranastics its advantages are inval
uable. She declares that it makes an
art r.f relaxation, and gives an added
tcnic value to leisure. It confers
grate, social charm and poise. And
surd' Mrs. Culbertson is the ideal
example cf the truth of these beliefs.
The Culbertsons believe that even
thr battles between husband and
wife at the bridge table have their
uses, indeed, that they are v ry im
portant to donustic happiness. I'.ig
gt r and better rows at the bridge
table is the ideal method of letting!

the Culbertsons quarrel. It is at the I

YEAR 3ZS0LUTI0NS
It would be a splendid thing if ail
automobile drivers would adopt a tet
of New Year's resolutions and keep
then. A few suggestions follow:
1. I will make it a practice to
drive prudently and carelully at ail
times.
2. I will give due regard to the
lights of others, who are as much en
titled to the u-e of the street and
highways as 1 am.
3. I will not be a road hog, nor
drive cn the wrong side cf the road,
cut corners or drive at high rates of
speed when conditions are not favor
able. 4. At all times I will keep my
lights, brakes, steering gear and horn
in the best of condition.
5. I will be watchful to do my
part to prevent an automobile acci
dent in 1932.
Many more suggestions will come
readily to mind. Our annual toll of
automobile fatalities is rapidly ap
proaching the 35,000 mark 35,000
lives destroyed because of negligence
and carelessness. The cure is up to
the individual driver. He must face
and accept the responsibility that
is his when he takes the wheel of
his car, if this needless waste of ir
replaceable lives is to be stopped.

of the other as a human being, endowed with rea

bertson is an expert. The two Culbertson chil
dren, Joyce Nadja, aged 4, and Ely Bruce, 22,
are being brought up on a carefully mapped-out
plan, the girl receiving the exact treatment meted
out to the Lc7, thus obviating the possibility of
sex-inferiority. Besides English, the children can
do a fairly good job at speaking French and Ger
man. Mrs. Culbertson's favorite bridge costume
consists of a suit of black velvet pajamas and ber
pet aversion is against jewelry that jangles.
ar.d mutual understanding arc best
demonstrated.
Mrs. Culbertson has played the
game of life just as she plays hr
raid games. Everything has been
mapped out, worked out according, as
iar as is humanly possible, to a pre
conceived plan that is followed thru
iith as few deviations as possible.
Circumstances brought her face to
Prtc with the grim game of life at
the age of seventeen, when her father
suffered a breakdown that forced her
to contribute to the family exchequer.
And so. although the former Jose
phine Murphy had to give up college
and a self-prescribed course of educa
tion, she took It up later, finishing
that course as though she were actu
ally attending college and graduat
ing. It was when she became execu
tive secretary to Wilbur Whitehead
that she determined to master bridge
so that she could be of even more as
sistance to her employer, the famous
expert.
It was not long before the slim,
blond girl was recognized as one of
the world's greatest players. And it
wasn't long before she met the bril
