KUGEL SAYS POLICE DEPARTMENT IS NOT CORRUPT;
SEEK TO ABOLISH CHIEF OF DETECTIVES' OFFICE;
ITALIANS TIGHTEN GRIP ON DUIHO; TAKE HEAVY GUNS
MALONEY TO HOLD
JOB UNTIL AFTER
CHADRON TRIAL
City Commissioners Decide
Not to Abolish Office Be
fore Hearing of Black
mail Case.
No action affecting the status of
Captain Maloney of the detective de
partment will be taken until after his
trial at Chadron on a charge of con
spiracy to blackmail.
Superintendent Kuget of the police
department, after the city council
committee of the whole asked the
city commissioners to go with him
into an executive session to consider,
as he explained, a resolution to abol
ish the office of chief of detectives,
now held by Maloney.
Commissioners Butler, Park and
Withnell refused to join the star
chamber session, stating that the
matter is of public interest and should
be discussed in open session.
Commissioner Hummel also was
against the executive session, but was
present because the meeting happened
to be held in his office. Mayor Dahl
man and Commissioner Jardine were
the only members of the council who
v:illingly joined Kugel in the meet
ing. Mayor Favors Delay. -
It was Superintendent Kugel's pur
pose to offer the Maloney resolution
at the regular council meeting Tues
day morning, but at the close of the
executive meeting he announced that
he would take no action until after
the Chadron case had been disposed
of.
"I don't think it would be fair to
jeopardize Maloney's case at Chadron
by taking summary action here at this
time," explained Mayor Dahlman,
who opposed Kugct's plan of action.
If the superintendent of police can
enlist sufficient backing of the city
council he will abolish the position
of chief of detectives and assign Ma
loney to work as detective, which
place he held when he was appointed
read of the detective department
September 1, 1912.
Superintendent Kuget returned to
his office Monday after a period of
illness and recuperation. He was
kept busy all day answering telephone
calls and listening to versions of the
local storm which broke during his,;
absence.
No Attention to Maloney.
Commenting on an interview given
out hi I Captain Maloney, that at a
meeting held at the Kugel residence
a suggestion was made to "job" him
(Maloney), Kugel said:
"I am not paying any attention to
that fellow. He is likely to say any
thing. I am willing to have the po
lice department investigated. The
facts will all be brought out later.
There was no meeting at my house."
Asked why he wished an executive
meeting of the city commissioners,
Kugel replied:
"There is some stuff I want to
bring out, and I don't think it should
be made public at-this time."
Charges prepared and signed last
Saturday by Chief Dunn against Cap
tain Maloney and Detective Sutton
have been held up in Superintendent
Kugel's office and will not be ftied
until after the Chadron case has been
tried. The chief charged conduct
unbecoming officers of the police de
partment. Omaha men involved or interested
in the Chadron affair will leave
Wednesday afternoon for the Dawes
county seat to attend the trial, which
will open Thursday morning.

KUGEL STANDS
PAT FOR SUTTON
IN POLICE ROW
Head of Department, in For
mal Statement, Declares Dis
honest Men on Force Should
Not Discredit Faithful.
Police Commissioner Al C. Kugel
in a formal statement issued Monday
declares that he wants the .fullest in
vestigation into the workings and per
sonnel of the Omaha police depart
ment. These things are made clear by the
commissioner's statement:
Kugel's suspicions that all was not
well in the department were aroused
early in April.
Kugel caused Detectives Sutton and
Anderson to work out of his office
and report direct to him.
Kugel gave Sutton leave ot absence
and sent him to Chadron. Develop
ments of a sensational character fol
lowed and Chief of Detectives Steve
Maloney and Sutton are under bond
to appear for trial at Chadron Thurs
day. Kugel says the police department as
a whole is not corrupt. If there be
dishonest men in the department
their conduct should not csst suspi
cion upon honest, faithful members..
The commissioner s statement fol
lows:
His Suspicions Aroused.
"On returning after recovery from
my recent illness I am not in as
(rood a oosition to make a statement
of things that have transpired dur
ing; the last tew weeks as it 1 had
been on the job during that time.
. "Late in March pf this year I
causrht faint rumblings of things that
Aroused my suspicion in connection
with- the workings ot the police de
partment, or rather of certain officers
of the department.
1 concluded to direct a personal
investigation and to that end I had
Officers Sutton and Anderson work
directly out of my office and make
neir reports to me.
"It was under, this arrangement that
Officer Sutton was given leave of ab
sence and it was under this leave of
absence that he made the trip to
Lhadron, which has been so much
talked of in the papers recently.
Dunns' the tirst week ot April 1
ftegun to feel ill and April 12 Dr. Gil
morc pronounced my case typhoid
feve and ordered me to bed. He al
lowed me to sea. no one for several
weeks. This came at a juncture in the
work of the department which was of
vital importance.
"From April 12 until this morning
i was unable to be at my office or ex
excise personal direction of the po
lice department. During that time, at
my request, Commissioner Jardine
took over the management and was
given charge.
, Let Truth Be Known.
T have learned though the columns
of the daily papers that things have
been transpiring rapidly during the
last few weeks and names of various
persons are being mentioned. So far
as the police department or.any mem
ber of it is concerned I stand for
the fullest measure of investigation.
Let the truth be known. With dis
putes between persons not members
of the department, I am not con
cerned and shall not concern myself.
"The police department as a whole
is not corrupt. We have officers and
men in that department who perform
their daily duties with the utmost fi
delity, and if there be some in the
department whose conduct has not
been what it should, or who have in
terested themselves in things they
should have suppressed, such action'
should not cast suspicion upon the
honest, faithful members of the de
partment "Now that court proceedings have
been started I shall welcome the full
est investigation of any, and all per
sons connected with the police de
partment. When the facts have been
established, whether it may meet with
the approval of all or tilt disapproval
of some, I feel that such determina
tion should be accepted as conclusive
for the purpose of official action.
"In the meantime I shall, as rapidly
as I can get matters in hand, make
recommendations to the city council
favoring such changes as in my judg
ment should be made before the legal
battle in the courts has reached its
final conclusion, because of the slow
ness with which such proceedings
progress."

JURY WHEEL PLAN
TO GOVERN DRAFT
OF HEW FORCES
No Claims for Exemption to Be
Considered Until Each Dis
trict Provides Number
of Men Apportioned.
Washington, May 28. Regulations
to govern exemptions under the selec
tive draft are being worked ont by
Provost Marshal General Crowder,
with a number of prominent lawyers.
Although the plans are not yet
complete, it is possible that the jury
wheel system will be followed in se
lecting those who are to go into the
first army of 500,000 and not until the
names have been drawn and each
registration district has provided the
number apportioned to it, will ex
emptions be considered. As each in
dividual drawn reports, his claim for
exemption will be passed upon and if
he is exempted another will be drawn
to fill the vacancy.
Local Exemption Boards.
The law orovides for local ex
emption boards in each county and for
each 30,000 in city populations. Boards
of review also will be established on
the basis of one or more to each fed
eral judicial district. All the boards
will be composed of civilians, secre
tary Baker said today the process of
selecting them had not been worked
out
General Crowder said that only con
fusion would result from the reported
mention of men above the fixed age
to register on June 5.
"This is mistaken patriotism," he
said, "and registrars will be in
structed to accept cards only from
men between the ages of 21 and 30,
nclusive."

-When Osaka Warehouse
Is Blown Up.
Osaka, Japan, May 28. Seventy per
sons; were killed, sad 20Q injured in a
scries of terrific explosions and a fire
which occurred in the warehouse dis
trict of Osaka yesterday. The dam
age to property is estimated at about
$6,000,000.
The whole of Osaka and its neigh
boring towns and villages were
thrown into a panic. The sound of the
explosion was heard for fifty miles.
The first explosion, which occurred
in the Tokio Warehouse company's
storehouse, is believed to have been
due to the spontaneous combustion of
chemicals. The roar resembled the
rumbling of a distant volcano. The
sky was darkened with clouds of
smoke and trying debris'. Pillars of
flame shot up after the third explo
sion. Fire Fighting Prevented.
Firemen and fire engines rushed to
the scene and tried to combat the fire,
but the men and women dying from
their wounds and countless people
rushing in all directions, crying for
help, prevented effective fire fighting.
The fire raged for nearly five hours
unchecked, and it was nearly midnight
before it wa9 brought under control.
Not' a person who happened to be
passing in the neighborhood escaped
some injury. Heavy pieces of burn
ing concrete and red hot iron bars and
other debris fell upon the heads of
pedestrians. Some were killed out
right, while many were terribly muti
lated. Crushed By Rocks.
Many houses were ruined, being
crushed by falling rocks. In most of
the houses within the radius of a mile,
the window panes were broken and
the doors unhinged. The Ashiwaki
bridge, about a mile from the scene
of the fire, was cut in two by the
shock of the explosion and twenty
persons ; who were crossing it were
thrown into the river and drowned.
Missouri River Rises Nearly
Five Feet in Last Four Days
The Missouri river at Omaha rose
four-fifths of a foot in the twenty-four
hours ending at 7 a. m. Monday. This
made- a total rise of 47 feet in the

The present stage of the river is 15.1
feet, which, says Colonel Welsh, is
high enough to flood some of the bot
tom lands, which have been planted to
corn.
"Flood stage" of the river here is
nineteen feet. The weather bureau
does not expect much more rise now
unless there should be heavy rains to
the north.

Duino. nr the gulf of Trieste, the
war office announces. They have
captured nine six-inch guns. .
(AsaMlatod Piwm War Bmnmarr.)
The Italians have fought their way
forward within two miles of Duino,
the most formidable natural barrier
between them and Trieste. The
preat battle now enters its eighteenth
day -without any sign of an abate
ment. Vienna refuses to concede the
Italian victories, but the map tells
the story of General Cadorna's steady
advance.
Duino, at the gates of which the
Italian guns are now hammering,
marks a ooint at which the' Carso
plateau almost touches the sea. Pro
tected By tne ocean on tne one sine,
it is powerfully defended to the north
by Mount Querceto, a height of con
sidereablc magnitude, which domi
nates the country for many miles

At the foot of Mount Querceto, fac

deazza, and the Italians have smashed
their way to within a few hundred
yards of this village.
It is possible that a lull will occur
before1 they attempt the formidable
task of storming Mount Querceto,
Persistent attempts are being con
