33d Year in Harness Is Near
for lntrepid Fighter of Flames
But Martin J. Dineen Doesn’t
Want to Be Called
Veteran—Still
Young.
Next Saturday Martin J. Dineen,
assistant chief of the fire department,
will complete 32 consecutive years
in fighting fires in Omaha.
His name ought to he Phoenix,
which is the monicker of a mythologi
cal bird that came out of the moun
tains in Asia every 500 years, burned
itself upon an altar, then rose, from
the ashes, more beautiful than ever.
Dineen has been dragged out from
many a smoldering ruin, but he
dodged unnumbered falling walls, he
has galloped across plenty of burning
floors.
And so agile has he been that he
has escaped serious accident all
through the years—although he was
reduced to crutches for on* brief
period last year—and today declares
he feels younger than ever. The other
fire fighters declare he Is strong as
an ox and lively as a cricket.
Martin admits it himself and de
clares you'll have to ask someone
older than he Is if you want to find
out how it feels to be past 25.
First Assistant Chief Dineen went
to work for the department October
27, 1831, in the fire house at Twenty
ninth and Dorcas streets, driving a
_
hose wagon. That was before Fords
were heard of or automobiles In
vented.
He whs made a lieutenant in 1895,
a captain In 1S9G, second assistant
chief In 1901 and first assistant chief
in 1915.
Bavaria Sets
Out to Secede
From Germany
Nationalist Move Launched to
Rout Socalism—Food Raidg
Are Staged Over
Republic.
By International New* Service.
Berlin, Oct. 20.—Bavaria tonight
was trying to rally to its support all
the nationalist forces in Germany to
establish the Bavarian state as the
predominant state, Instead of Prus
sia. The Bavatlan nationalists want
to "clean house in Germany." routing
out socialism.
Ths action of Bavaria in appointing
the mutinous General Von Lossow as
commander of the reichswehr in Ba
varia was regarded as the first Mtep
toward secession. A communique
waa issued deploring the "terribly ag
gravating situation."
To add to the seriousness of the
government's position, food riots took
place in Hamburg, Dresden, Berlin,
Schoenberg and Neukoeln.
Ruhr industrialists have decided to
finance material deliveries of repara
tions to the allies until April, on con
dition they are provided by the Ger
man state with the amounts of cash
they will need for taxes, it was
learned tonight. Officials believed this
may stave off the threatened labor
upheaval in the Ruhr.
The German government issued ft
statement at 8 o'clock tonight charg
ing Bavaria with flat violation of the
German national legislation.
There are about 12,000 reichswehr
in Bavaria. These divisions, by the
decree of Munich, are placed under
command of Von Dossow, who is
virtually in mutiny against the Ber
lin government through his refusal
to enforce government decrees.
The Bavarian government and
Herr Von Kahr, the Bavarian dic
tator. Issued statements acknowledg
ing Von Hossow'a dismissal by Berlin,
but appointing him commander of
the reichswehr divisions in Bavaria.
This put the Bavarian reichswehr
between two masters and In effect
Invited secession and military mu
tiny.
General Von Zeekt issued a procla
mation declaring that "whoever
obeys General Von Iiohsow, deposed
commander of the relchBwehr In Ba
varia. breaks hi* oath to the German
republic.”
Both the government proclamation
and that Issued by Von Zeekt said
that tho Bavarian nationalists do not
aim at secession. They said they
were against "socialism and commun
ism.”

'S Funny About
This Tangle of
Police Doctors
Suspended Surgeon and Act
ing Mayor Butler’s New
Appointee Have Of
fices Together.
Who Is the police surgeon cf
Omaha?
Up to last Thursday Dr. F. H. Kln
youn was.
On that day, City Commissioner
Dan B. Butler became acting mayor
by virtue of his transfer to the de
partment of finance and the further
fact that Mayor Dahlman was In the
hospital.
One of the first acts of Butler’s
reign was the suspension of Dr.
Klnyoun because the surgeon had
stated he was not at all displeased
at the removal of Butler from the
police department. But Klnyoun re
fused to bo suspended and the mayor,
from his sick bed, declared Klnyoun
should not heed the Butler order.
Butler appointed Dr. J. C. Tollman
to act as police surgeon.
But last night Dr. F. T. Lovely
appeared at the police station. He
said Dr. Klnyoun sent him to act
In his place, Saturday being the po
lice surgeon's night off.
What Mean* This?
The office of Dr. Klnyoun, the sus
pended police surgeon, is 1138 First
National Bank building.
The office of Dr. Tollman, the man
appointed police surg'-'n hy Acting
Mayor Butler, la 1136 Firlt National
Bank building.
Tlie office of Dr. Doveiy, the man
sent by Dr. Klnyoun to act In his
stead, is 1136 First National Bank
building.
'» funny.
fie Doesn't Know.
Dr. Follman, at his home last
night, didn’t know.
"Why aren't you at the police sta
tion tonight?" ho was asked.
"Why. It's the police surgeon's
night off and another man was sent
down,” he said.
"Did you send him down?"
"No.”
"Did Dr. Klnyoun?”
"I think he did.”
"You're partners, aren't you?"
"Yes, we office together.”
"Are j’oJ going to accept Mr. But
ler's appointment?”
"Well, I don't know.”
So the question propounded at the
opening of this ditty remains un
answered.

$200 Offer

Genuine Gaglia.nd, Worth
$3,000, Was Priceless Pos
session of Henry Cox
for 19 Years.
Can’t Find One Like It
Henry Cox, prominent Omaha vio
linist and musical director, wants the
thief who stole his treasured violin
to return it. He longs for the feel
of Its well-worn surface under his
chin, and his ears ache for the mel
low tones of its aristocratic voice.
For no ordinary violin was this one
which waa stolen from the home of
the Omaha musician, at 3320 Dewey
avenue. A genuine Gagllano, this
violin was purchased by Mr. Cox from
August Genunder In New York city
at a price which runs well Into four
figures.
The purchase was made 19 years
ago, and since then Mr. Cox and the
violin have seldom If ever been part
ed. The violin was stolen as the
result of an oversight. In the haste
and flurry of their departure for a
visit In Mason City, la., the musician
forgot to take the violin.
Old Silver Taken.
And uring his absence thieves
took It. The thieves also took prac
tically everything in the Cox home,
including silver three generations old
and linen which belonged to Mrs.
Cox' grandmother.
But Mr. Cox grieves for but one
thing—his treasured violin. Last
night he offered a 3200 reward for its
return. And he won’t bother whoever
returns It with any questions, either.
A ^ihort time later he was over
joyed at word from police stating
they had a clue as to the possible
whereabouts of the Instrument.
None to Replace It.
"Mr. Cox has had police and a pri
vate detective working to get back
his precious violin,” said Mrs. Cox.
"It's worth 33.000, but of course the
thief couldn’t begin to get that much
for it. And it's worth much more
than that to Mr. Cox. Why, he can't
find a violin he wants to buy; one
that could possibly replace the stolen
one. So he's had to borrow a violin
from Leo Wilson.”
The robbery of the Cox home oc
curred In daylight. A truck drove up
to the front door and a man calmly
removed the most valuable things,
placing them in the truck. It is be
lieved. Neighbors saw the truck ar
rive, but they suspected nothing.
When th« Cox returned from Mason
City they discovered the robbery.

she was awarded damages from a
former mayor and town marshal of
Waterloo. Helen Schultz. Mason City
bus queen, has set several masculine
hearts aflutter over the country.
Arid why not? Miss Schultz Is a
pleasing combination of business acu
men and feminine charm. A dozen
missiles, quivering with the palpitated
emotionalism of hearts in love, have
been aimed at the bus queen, but
against them she has set up an im
pregnable defense. The proposals of
marriage were on her desk when she
returned from Waterloo. But after
she had read them shfl announced
to the world—
"I Intend to 1* an old maid; I will
never marry.”
From a TO-Year-OId.
One of the letters came from a TO
year-old youth in Colorado. He ad
mltted age, but said there were other
things that made up for It. He was
wealthy he said, and asked her to
bring a chaperon and come and see
him.
It isn't that she doesn't like men.
but aha is too much taken up with
her busses right now. she said, and
sho Intends to fight the battle with
out a man.
”1 had my fortune told in Waterloo
while the case was being tried,” she
said. “She told me I would marry a
light, tall man the latter part of
1924, but that he wouldn't help me
In my business. She also told me
that I was going to have a lot of
money In my old age"
Learned Ahnut Railroads.
“And the fortune teller said I,
would marry a railroad man," she1
added. "She wad right when she said
that."
"Where did you learn the art of
fighting railroads." she was asked.
"Oh. X learned that when X worked
for the Great Northern In the iron
fields of Minnesota," she said. "I
had Just finished Christie college In
Duluth and got a Job as stenographer
with a railroad. I also had a chance
to watch the busses in operation tfiere
and saw how successful they were.
There Is really where I got my orig
inal idea. Then I went to California."
"If X lose I will Just take my busses
and go somewhere else and run
tSftr.," she mused. "That Is on*
thing, I am all on wheels, and there
will be jki trouble in moving ray out
fit anywhere. I know tliere are places
where a bus line can be operated."
But you could tell hy the looks of
her face that she did not exactly ex
pect to lose.
