Crime Increase in Omaha Alarms Officials Here I'ct'ords Show 11 of 32 Mur ders in County in 1922 Have Not Been Solved. Why ware there twice m many murders in Omaha last year ae there wens in London, England? Thirty two m Omaha and 17 in London. Omaha has about 200,00 people; Lon min about 7,000,000. The question has been answered by > American 3ae association In its ri i-etllni; in Minneapolis. The law, . the eminent lawyers, "lacks ce ! illy, certainty and finality." Hubert Smith, clerk of the Douglas < ut.ty district court, endorsed this v i. w. ' "The 4S states should have a uni f.u-ni criminal coda and tho criminal i ode should be filled with plenty of celerity, c.rlainty and finality," he said. A ns:i. a few months ago, made a 1 retended confession to the murder of Frank Fogg, an Omaha druggist, in order that he might be brought to Nebraska and tried for murder. He raid he thought he would get off easier here on a -murder charge than he would if he were tried for rpbbery in tho eastern state where he was In tail. In only 21 of the 32 killing cases in Omaha last year were persons ar rested and charged v.-ith the crime. Perpetrators of the other 11 are at large. s So much for this little city. How the Law Operates. Now look at the greatest city in the world. London, with its 17 murders last year. Not one of them remains unsolved. ■ And in England, when a man is arrested for a crime, the law works with celerity, certainty and finality. Rarely does a murderer escape the extreme penalty which the natuie of his crime calls for. In Nebraska and other states, fhe opposite is too often true, and the public records of the courts are full proofs- of this fact. Suppose the murderer is arrested. T’r.s gr.me has just started in our courts. If he has plenty of money to hire lawyers he may keep up the fight for several years with every ad vantage on his side. Suppose the 12 rood men and true bring in a verdict i ' "guilty." His lawyer then appeals the supreme court, which may take ,-er year to review the case. One ■ ideal error in the trial will cause : ,o to he ordered to a new trial ; n tlv state is confronted with m -sided game of convincing / ono of 12 men "beyond a rea ’e doubt." that the defendant is y, >, is what the learned lawyers red in Minneapolis are weary of. hit "jesting with the law" they : as one of the big reasons for • as many murders in Omaha as , »p."'on, No Interest by Public. rural public inillffercr.ee to the ’on accounts in large measure ii want of respect for the law • CJunTy and the failure of its •on.," rays the committee Ye the bar association meeting, id sentimentality In this coun , c- with causing the .1 of murder.

With a new criminal code, filled with "celerity, certa nty and f ii.li iy.” Omaha slmuiil he made as s/ifc fieri crime as London. if it irere, there would be one mur i er here in two years instead of 22 in me year. M-Sar-Ben Ball Decoratiii" to Be Done by Burgess-Nash "Omaha has more high class in t rior decorators than any city its K.7.e in the country,” said J. F.

The Orpheum opens for a new sea son today but it will seem a little strange to the vaudeville fan .who has been attending opening nights for a score of years. The same will be true to those on the opposite side, of the footlights— the show folks who have oecn enter taining Omaha theater goers for a third of a century. The reason why: Billy Byrne, veteran manger of the Orpheurn theater, is here no more. His cheeifu! greeting, his true Iiish smile and his bits of phtlosphy flung as friends passed him by the theater "front door" will be missing. The stage-fi Ik won't rind things the same either, for no more will Charlie Gore, veteran stage manager, greet them at the ‘ back door," the stage entrance. His big bread srnile of which the accompanying picture is only a poor specimen, won’t be there to cheer honv ick stage beauties awl his cutting, sarcastic, remarks of which he is known nationally, will be missed by the men. Always full of fun, Charley Gore for a quarter of a century amused the actors and ac tresses with his brilliant sarcasm. Billy Byrne has been relieved by W. A. Hartung from Vancouver, and Gore's place is now ueing filled by Otto Kchneidirwind. Byrne doesn't know just what he will do. The Or pheum company has offered him an of flee poaiton in Chicago. Gore is now a scenic painter at the theater. Both men have worked side by side for more than 25 years. ”1 p iront" Byrne kept the theater-goern sat.s Wool Growers and Bankers to Work Out Marketing Plan Chicago.
