Bike a besieged city, Fairacrea
looked down from Its Dodge 'street
heights Monday morning while cater
pillar tractors, much like war tanks,
battered at snowdrifts separating the
wealthy district from Omaha.
All the “king’s horses, all the
king’s trucks, and all the king's
sleds’’ previously had failed to make
an impression on the Dodge street
drift, which isolated Fairacrea Satur
day night and just failed to take a
toll of life Sunday,- but counted to
its credit frozen hands, eyes and ears.
George Brandeis of J. L. Brandeis
& Sons, firsf found the drift of snow
an impassable barrier. He and Mrs.
Brandeis. accompanied by Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Judson, tried to drive to
their home Saturday night and lost
their car in the attempt. They
walked part of the way back to Ho

was called Into service and manned

horses drove up to the Fontenelle

exiles aboard. The caravan reached
Fifty-second street and had to
abandon efforts to plunge through.
Horses floundered In the snowbanks
and the truck stalled. *
Mr. and Mrs. George A. lloberts
and daughter, Elizabeth, got caught
with their car in a drift at Sixty

her sixth attempt she battled her
way through the snow to the home
of the Robertses.
Three, policemen were unable to
reach the Roberts- car and seven more
were sent to help. They worked In
fight their way to the Robertses,
reaching them three hours after the
party had become stalled. The, Rob
ertses were so cold they scarcely
knew help had arrived.
Patrolman J. F. Jensen carried Mrs.
Roberts out on his back, and Patrol
man Frank Freeman carried Elizabeth
similarly. Mr. Roberts, supported by
Patrolmen Ernest Fee and William
Conley, walked out.
Both of Mr. Roberts' feet were
frozen. Heine Bozen, motorcycle of
ficer, suffered the freezing of his
right hand; both eyes of R. II. Mac
Donald, patrolman, were frozen, and
P. F. Payne, emergency officer, was
frostbitten on the cheeks and ears.
Mrs. Roberts and Elizabeth are
at the Fontenelle awaiting the open

turned to work Monday morning.
Making the best of their situation,
Mr. and Mrs. Brandeis gave a party
at the Fontenelle Sunday night and had

Walter Head, Mr. and Mrs. J. E.
Davidson, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Dailey

Lincoln. March 19.—(Special.)—
Omaha ministi rs nre beseeching legis
lator* to kill the Chambers-Larkin bill
which would take the alleged $10,000
made annually by Sheriff Kndres out
side of his salary for feeding prison
ers and place this money jn the hands
of the taxpayers. Following is a copy
of the letters being received:
"We have reason to believe that the
movement to deprive the present ser
iff of any income from feeding the
prisoners is fostered by enemies he
has made by his publicly avowed pur
pose to enforce the law against exist
ing crime.”
Senator John L. Larkin of Omaha,
one of the introducers of tho bill,
charged tonight that the signatures
of ministers of Omuha had been ob
tained by a woman stenographer In
the sheriff's office, through misrep
resentation of facts.
The senator asserted' that the min
isters did not realize that the hill in
no way crippled law enforcement in
Douglas county and merely was an
attempt to save an overburdened
county of thousands of dollars.
"I have been informed by two
ministers who fairly understood my
bill and who refused to sign the. letter,
that the facts had beep misrepre
sented.” said Senator Larkin.”* It is
utterly unfair for Sheriff Kndres to
appeal to a nontaxpuyinc body, such
as the ministers of Omaha, on a pro
position which Is not moral and which
Is of concern to the taxpayers of the
county only.
"Not one *of these ministers Is sub
ject to taxation under the law be
cause their parsonages are exempt
and I know that If they realized that
it was a taxation Issue and not a
moral Issue, they would never have
affixed their signatures to the letter."
Ministers signing the letter are: B

For Live Stock
If you put a million dollars cash into
your pocket every morning, and it was

had been doing something people would
be interested in hearing about, wouldn't
you?
We spend on an averag a million
dollars every morning of the year—
Sundays and holidays excepted.
This money comes from the retail
dealer and the consumer in exchange
for products. With it we buy live stock.
In our hands this live stock becomes
meat and by-products, which through
our widespread service of refrigerator
cars and branch houses, becomes
available to every consumer.
Our 1923 Year Book, just published,
gives you our financial standing; it tells
you that our profit from all sources for
1922 averaged only a fraction of a cent
per pound and only 2 cents on each dollar

mation about our business and the
