Radio Aerial Peril to Owner
■. ■ - l
‘" ' -
The investigation of dangerous
radio aerials carried on by The
Omaha Bee, has produced good re
suits. By arrangement with City
Electrician Lovett, the Nebraska Pow
er company is removing aerials that
are near, over or under any wires
carrying electricity.
At 480" Webster street was found
an aerial that was put up without re
gard for human life. The antennae
runs from a two-piece stick nailed on
the side of the house to another two
piece stick nailed on top of the pole
in the rear alley.
The poor construction of the stick
=-- I
at the house is noticeable in the pho
tograph. It is not guyed by any wire
in either direction. The stick on the
pole is nailed. There are no foot
holds on the pole. This is another
instance where a person has climbed
the pole at a risk of his own life.
“Parents should watch radio-en
Ihused boys a little closer," said City
electrician Tjovett. “This aerial looks
like the work of some boy. While
climbing the pole he could have fallen
and been seriously injured.”
"If the wire should break at the
house it would fall on the high ten
sion wires on the pole and be fatal to'
any one touching it.

Dunn Given Free
Hand in Selection
of Police Chief
■ *
Pszanowskl in Line for Place,
Says Hopkins—Van Deusen
Said to Be Choice of
Commissioner.
Whatever Commissioner Henry
Dunn, heart of the police force, says
“goes" with the rest of the commis
sion on the selection of chief of police
to fill the vacancy of Chief Dillon,
whose resignation takes effect
July 16.
Commissioner John Hopkins said
Friday morning that, according to
custom, Inspector Pszanowskl would
get the position, but “of course that
does not mean that he should neces
sarily get It.” Hopkins believes it was
the understanding of the council
when they made Pszanowskl Inspec
tor that he should follow Dillon as
chief.
Others on the council said they are
leaving it entirely up to Dunn. “I
don’t think Dunn should tell me who
to make engineers, so I certainly
won’t tell hint who to make chief
of police,” said Commissioner Kout
sky, head of the public improvements
department.
Mayor Dahlman felt the same way
as Koutsky. He said, “We will un
doubtedly accept the recommendation
of Commissioner Dunn.”
It Is reported that Commissioner
Dunn has decided to give the post to
Chief of Detectives Van Deusen. If
the other commissioners take Dunn’s
recommendation then Van Deusen
will be the new chief.
It is doubtful that the new chief
will be appointed at the council meet
ing next Tuesday.
