The "Omaha Sunday Bee .!____ VOL. 52—NO. 39. K W'ffir" i"W OMAHA, SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 11, 1923. • SiJT £ TC’UrR FIVE CENTS The Most Complete Service to Be Had to Serve the Readers of The Omaha Bee News—what is happening and what is going to happen— comprises the backbone of every newspaper. Editorials may inspire. Features may entertain. But, at bottom, a newspaper is what its name implies—a purveyor of news. Finding and pub lishing the news is at once its duty and its privilege. Upon the superiority of its service in this respect rests, in the final analysis, its claim to public favor. THE OMAHA BEE, fully cognizant of tins prime function of news paper being, has ever been alert to extend the scope of its news-gathering activity. It has recognized that, more and more as the days go by, the whole world is its field. Statesmen may talk of isolation, but the newspaper can know nothing of that. Its ear must be acutely «ensitive to the thought and deed of men of every nation, that the readers In its own community may know wh~l today brings and what tomorrow portends. TOMORROW, therefore. The Bee begins a new telegraphic news service—The International News by day and bniversal Service by night. By leased wires direct to The Bee office, countless corre spondents all over America and in other continents will send in the news of their respective territories—political, sports, business, women’s. 1 his, in addition to the 24-hour service of The Associated Press, will give The Bee a service unequalled by that of any Nebraska paper.

Mayor Dahlman said: "Po lice Commissioner lJunn is the person who should outline what the poII< e should do. Another commissioner should not attempt to Interfere with the administration of the police de partment, Commissioner Dunn is en forcing tho laws." The mayor referred to an instance which occurred a few years ago, when a city commissioner Insisted on tell ing how the police department should lie run. whereupon the police depart ment was handed over to that com missioner! “Why, Dan Butler may be made police commissioner," the mayor add ed. "Stranger things than that have happened here in tho city hall. "Poor Men's Clubs.” "I think I expressed myself clear ly on the card table subject during city council meeting l.i-t Tuesday morning." said Commissioner Butler. "I know that if I were police com missioner thero would lie some things done that are not being done now. It would I," lime enough when I am po lice commissioner in state how I wvuid conduct the police department.” The subject of card tables and "pet ty larceny" games has l iken the city hall by the cars. Commissioner Butler insists that the soft drink parlors and pool halls are poor men's clubs. Mr. Butler con ferred yesterday with Sheriff llndres.
