THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 4, 1918.
HARGULES, GROCER,
QUITSON SUGAR
Does Business Contrary to
Orders of Food Administrator
and Sheriff Takes Over
the Goods.
Joe Margules, 1302 North Twenty
fourth street, voluntarily has gone out
of th sugar business. This occurred
yesterday after a conference with
Gurdon W. Wattles, federal food ad
ministrator. Margules abstinance from
the sale of sugar will continue for a
period of six months, unless he should
get permission from Wattles to re
sume.
Other ordert from Mr. Wattles
were that Sheriff Mehrens of Wash
ington county, confiscate two 100-
pound sacks oi sugar, one In the pos
session of S. C Cook, a farmer, liv
ing near Kennard, and the other in the
sheriff's possession after it had been
taken from Max Fox, Omaha, who
sold the. sugar to Cook, and was try
ing to sell the other sack, when the
sheriff took a hand in the game.
Order To the Sheriff.
The sheriff was ordered to place
this sugar in the hands of some re
liable concern and to recomoensate
Cook, and Fox fairly for the sugar
confiscated.
Sheriff Mehrens was responsible for
the developments which resulted in
the orders. Sunday he telephoned Mr.
Wattles that a man in Washington
county was selling sugar in 100-pound
sacks. Mr. Wattles Ordered him to
bring the man in.
Mehrens appeared yesterday morn
ing with Max Fox, 2208 North Nine
teenth street, Omaha, in tow. Fox
admitted that he had sold the sugar
to Cook and that he had bought it
froia Margules.
Margules Ushered In.
Then Margules was invited in and
admitted that he had sortd Fox two
sacks of sugar of 100 pounds each
at $9 a sack. Fox said he sold one
to Cook, taking the hide of a cow,
' which he valued at $6 and Cook's
check for $3. . The transaction was
the result of a request from Cook on
a previous visit to get him 100 pounds
'of sugar. Fox said he did it as a
favor and that the sale of sugar is
not in his regular line, as he buys
and sells junk.
Fox and MargulesViade affidavits to
the facts, after which Margules vol
untarily went out of the. sugar busi-
ne$ tor six months. Jfox win suck to
his business of buying and selling
junk, . . .
Attorney McHugh Badly
Cut in an Accident
While on his way home in an auto
mobile early last night, Judge W. H.
McHugh, 120 North Thirty-ninth
street, received a severe abrasion over
the right eye and several body bruises
when a runaway team of horses
hitched to a coal wagon collided with
. the attorney's car at Thirty-first and
Harney streets. .
Mrs. Pajil Sutton, with her daugh
ter, Miss Elizabeth Patton, and Ed
ward Brandt, chauffeur, who were in
the car with Judge McHugh, escaped
without injury. .
; Judge , McHugh was taken to his
"home and attended by'Dr. Somers.
The automobile was damaged badly.
One of the horses was so badly in
jured in the accident that it was shot.
The team was in charge of J. H.
Sutter, who was unloading coal from
the wagon at 507 South Thirty-third
street, when the horses became fright
ened. Glenn Reeve, Former Carrier
For The Bee, Likes Navy Life
Glenn. L. Reeve, 410 North Twenty
third street, son of Mr. and Mrs. O.
D. Reeve, is one of a colony of em
ployes of The Bee who has made good
m the army and navy service.
Mr. Reeve, who was a carrier of
The Bee four years, went last April
l to Mare Island, CaL, to qualify as a
wit-Mrs nneratnr rn one of Uncle
Sam's ships. He studied telegraphy
at the High School of Commerce and
had a working knowledge of elec
tricity before he went to the Mare
Island radio training station.
He will return to his post on Sun
day, take his final examination and
then will be assigned to a ship. He
is anxious to embark on a cruise. This
Omaha young man is in the best of
health and says he enjoys the life in
the naval service.
Farmers Welcome Control of
Roads by U. $., Says Grinnell
Farmers welcome the government
, control of railroads, according to J.
B.. Grinnell, secretary of the Nebraska
Farmers' congress, who was in Oma
ha yesterday.
"Farmers feel their crops will be
hauled more promptly and that the
government will see that their ship
ments of live stock will not be delayed
as in the past," said Mr. Grinnell.
. They long have been asking for gov
ernment ownership of the railroads
' and we feel that government control is
the first step in that direction. When
a farmer raises a crop he should be
assured that proper facilities will be
provided for sending it where it is
needed." '
