HO MORE ROOM IN
MURDERERS' ROW
Capacity of County Jail for Holding
Big Gam Hunters in Separate
Cells Exhausted.
MIGHT NEED ROOM FOR ELEVEN
The Douglas county Jail Is in the
process of becoming a home for re
tired murderers, or at least for gen
tlemen of uncertain occupation who
are accused of the biggest of big
game shodtlng.
When Leo Angus, the latest addi
tion to the murderers) colony In
Omaha, arrives at the county Jail he
will be assigned to the last remain
ing solitary cell. What will be done
with such others as may be so. un
fortunate as to fall Into the hands of
the law Is problematical. There
will be no room for them, since a
murderer can hardly be kept in the
'"bull pen" with common thieves.
The architect who planned the court
house provided only four separate cells
suitable for holding murderers. His lack
of foresight concerning the future needs
of Omaha Is now being revealed to public
view.
Marderers' Row la Cooaty Jail.
"Murderers' row" In tha county jail now
contains three who are detained there
pending certain formalities before judges
and Juries. They are the following:
Arthur Ha user, accused of the murder
of W. H. Smith, Woodmen of tho World
cashier.
Rclly M. Smith, who shot to death Mrs.
Frances Campbell.
Arthur Montgomery, negro, confessed
slayer of his wife.
Leo Angus will complete the Quartet
which will he housed in aolltary cells.
Frank McLaughlin, who la charged with
kelllng Joseph Byrne of $outh Omaha,
la at liberty under ball.
But these names by no means com piste
the list of Omaha murderers. There are
msny others, who have not been captured
or even suspected.. There are also sev
eral cases which. It Is suspected, are
murders, hut In which sufficient erf
dence to prove such a statement Is lack
ing.
Other murderers are:
The murderer of Ada Swindon, who
ever ne is.
The murderer of Cecil D. Campbell,
The automobile driver who killed Wll
Ham Hauelsen. whoever he la.
The murderer of James Maney, whoever
fi is.
The murderer who left a body In a da
tern last vear.

C. J. Ernst Says He
, Signed Warrants
in Plenty of Time
C. 3. Ernst, president of the Board of
Kducatlon, takes exceptions to a rumor
that he la In need of an alarm clock or
that an alleged delay of distributing
teachers' pay warrants was due to his
failure to arise on a certain morning at
an early hour. '
On the contrary, he avers he was up
at six (f) o'clock a. m. and addressed
himself to the work of signing the war
rants until tho work had been completed.
If there waa any delay he maintains
it should be charged to a school official
on the fifth floor of tho city hall.
In vtew of this explanation It la be
lieved the teachers will reconsider their
proposed alarm clock presentation to tha
president of tha School board.

THE VALUE OF TRUTH
Truth in business is just as important
as truth in every-day life; truth creates
confidence, establishes good-will and
builds a reliability that will not be

Mr. Kugel docs not want to be under

altogether, but he insists that abuses

nit of the Trenches '. by Christina
Hosannas from all the world would bombard the heavens if this hope would be realized. The sufferings of our
brothers overseas have touched the hearts of our people and awakened our sympathies as never before. Notwithstand
ing the frightful carnage we have a conviction that we are nearer to the "Federation of the World" and the brotherhood
of man than ever before in the history of this sad old world. Whatever the result of the Henry Ford peace movement,
surely it cannot be wholly vain. People the world over will THINK PEACE at any rate, and that will help some.
