Butler. Scores Itnerference-of Dunn at Fight City Commissioner Declares Vells-Schlaifer Bout Fair —Police Head De nounces Decision. Police Commissioner H. TV. Dunn and Pan Butler, superintendent of the department of accounts and f'nsnre, are split over the action of Ceorge Puffy, referee. In awarding a derision against Billy Vella In hla hout with Morris Schlalfer at the Auditorium Friday night, and Puffy's subsequent arrest and rrsclpltate de parture from town. Commissioner Dunn Is convinced that the decision was crooked and that he did right In ordering Duffy’s arrest. Commissioner Butler warmly sup ports the fight decision. "I think the decision was absolutely fair.” he declared Saturday. "I was unable to understand why Police Com mlseioner Punn Interfered. If the officers of the boxing commission are unable to handle a situation, let Dunn bring In an ordinance to prohibit boxing In Omaha. I know there Is some feeling against Schlalfer.” Allege "Raw Deal.” Dunn was strong in- his denuncia tion of the decision as a "raw deal ' for Wells. ‘‘I didn't hear a man offer any ex cuse for Schlalfer,” he said. "It was the most wide open affair I ever wit nessed. I took the action I did in the interest of clean sport. The pres ent system of boxing commission is all right. It rests with the person nel of those who liav«e to do with the matches to see that the sport is upheld.” Commissioner Koutsky sided with Commissioner Butler. "Wells would have won if he hadn't fouled as he did," he said. "lie forgot he was in a country where people like clean sport. Wells went down twice. At least 60 per cent of the people approved the de cision of the referee.” Commissioner J. B. Hummel de clined to comment. "It s all a money making scheme anyway,” he protested. "I don't take any interest one way or the other.” Near Kiot Anions Fans. The tempest over Duffy's decision followed a near riot among the fight fans n! the Auditorium after the Mil waukee man had awarded the match to Schlaifer. A roar of boo'a and cat calls greeted his choice. Several fans jumped into the ring and Duffy beat a. hasty retreat to a dressing room. "It's crooked.'* Shouted Commis •loner Dunn from his seat in the bal cony. "Wells bent him a mile.'* He ordered Duffy's arrest, pending an in vestigation. Duffy later was permitted to leave j on an early morning Rock Island train. During the melee In the Auditorium the lights were turned off to aid police in clearing the hall. Many wagers had been laid on the fight, with odds sometimes as high as 2 to 1 on Wells. Man Ask# Police to Find Missing Wife, Daughter j Arthur W. Bayersdorfer. 3712 North Forty-fourth avenue.

The car.was found two days later I at Ninth and Pierce streets. Bayersdorfer, who kept silent for ■•veral day s, dreading publicity, says he Is afraul some accident befell them, as he and his wife had had no tjuarrel and he knows of no reason ; why she might have left him. "I'm sure there is no other man in the case," he said Saturday. “She may have gotten work here, or have gone to California to join her sister, Mrs. Fred Dietrich, but she only took • bout $50 with her.” Bayersdorfer is at a loss as to why his wife left no word of her inten tions.

Charree mad* by City Commissioner P. B. Butler that he was treated with discourtesy by Superintendent Wal lace Wilson of the public welfare board, and that Mr. Wilson Is Incom petent were not sustained In a report submitted yesterday by members of the welfare beard to Mayor Pahlman. Henry Monskv, acting chairman of the board, presented the report, which was based on a hearing held last Sat urday afternoon in the welfare offices. The report reads: "The character of the testimony produced, and the total absence of any proof of either of the charges made by Commissioner Butler, caused the board to conclude y-.at, since Commissioner Butler him self was probably fully convinced of his misapprehension of the facts, when . making the complaint, that having a record made would lie needless expense ' to the city.” Another paragraph: "Of the total number of employes only two. Mr*, t Johnson and Mrs. Melia. testified to i lack of harmony In the department. An examination of these two employes | developed that the alleged lack of har I mony. so far as they were concerned, was due entirely to a misapprehension I of their duties and a mental attitude which made them sensitive with re spect to incidents entirely too insig nificant and unimportant to take cog nizance of.” The hoard found that the hearing disclosed a "well-meaning and efficient devotion to duty on the part of Super intendent Wilson and on the part of most of the employes.” Military Funeral for Vet Who Fought in Indian War Milliary funeral services for Fred Frommharz. 73. laborer, of Omaha, who died In a local hospital Thursday were held Saturday at 2 p. m. from j F. .T.
