Forms Committee To
Oppose Allied Dry Forces
Keith Neville, prominent North
Platte business man and rancher and
former governor of Nebraska, an
nounced this week that he has formed
a committee to oppose the "Allied
Dry Forces" in their effort to return
prohibition to Nebraska.
“Fundamentally, I do not believe
in the principle of Prohibition, which
is trying to regulate personal habits
and tastes by law. If a man wants
to take a drink of beer or liquor that
is his business, it is not my business
or the business of the state.
Practically speaking. Prohibition
does not prohibit. That has been
proven in Nebraska and in many
other states and in many other coun
tries. Prohibition merely makes the
business illegal and therefore tax ex
empt and it creates a chaotic condi
tion of law violation, including all
the evils of bootlegging.
If the liquor business is taken off
the tax rolls, the money which this
business pays into the state and local
communities must be raised from
some other source, and that is a size
able amount of money.
- ■ I was Governor in 1917 when Ne
braska went dry. I observed first
hand the confusion, the law violation,
the rise of the bootleggers, the loss
of tax revenue and all the other evils
that accompany Prohibition. I be
lieve Prohibition was distinctly harm
ful to Nebraska and I don't want it
to happen to our state again.
1 believe strongly in temperance
regarding all personal habits whether
it is drinking or eating or athletics or
anything else. Too much of any
thing is harmful. But for one group
1 of people to tell another group what
they may or may not do personally
is a form of tyranny which I don’t
like. What ever evils there may be
connected with the use of beer or liq
uor will be corrected by teaching in
the homes, in the schools, and in the
churches, and nowhere else,”
. . Neville’s committee will be
known as the “Committee of Men
and Women against Prohibition’’.
Executive offices will be located at
1121 Sharp Building, Lincoln.
The Executive Directors of the
Committee will be:
Keith Neville, North Platte; Mrs.
Nel Krause, Albion; Jean B. Cain,
Falls City; Christopher J. Abbott,
Hyannis; Mrs. Arthur Mullen, Om
aha ; William S. Stewart, Lexington ;
Mrs. Evelyn Ryan, Grand Island;
James D. Milliken, Fremont; Emily

commented that, "the committee is

“We hope that our committee can

' COMMENDS NATL FARM
SAFETY WEEK.
National Farm Safety Week, plan
ned by the National Safety Gouncil
and various farm organizations for
July 23-29, is commended by C. J.
Sanders, Captain of the Nebraska
Safety Patrol, in the following words
“Nebraska farm groups should be
I urged to join wholeheartedly in sup
porting this National Farm Safety
Week as a means of acquainting all
farm people with the necessity for
preventing farm and traffic accidents
and thus conserving farm manpower
for warpower. When we consider
the fact that the largest percent of
Nebraska’s fatal traffic accidents
occurr in rural areas, then we can
see the need for more safety . . . es
pecially when transportation plays
I such an important part in getting
farm products to market.”

Chicago, 111, July 26 (PPNSl -;

States Colonel in command at Sel- I

subsequently discharged as the out

The sooting scrape involving the

regarded as a serious offense. The

SHRINERS TO HONOR
SUPREME TREASURER
AT CONVENTION.
INDIANAPOLIS, July (ANP)—
When the nobles of the Mystic
Shrine meet here in Indianapolis in
their national conclave on Aug. 12,
one of their members, Charles D.
Freeman, who has served the organ

verrs as imperial treasurer and who
will have rounded out his 50 years as
an active member of the fraternity,
will receive the highest honor of the
imperial body and plans are undei
way to tender a reception in his hon
or by Persian temple in cooperation
with the imperial council.
According to members of the frat
ernity, Freeman has an enviable rec
ord among Masons. His record is
cited, as one of achievement Jind;
longevity not only as a Shriner, but
in all branches of Masonry. It is re
ported that besides his outstanding
service to Shrinedom as an officer of
the imperial council he was the one
hat Negro Shriners depended on for
facts in building up their case in the
courts which they won in 1928 be
fore the U. S. Supreme court.

ILY KELLY SPORTSMAN AND
POLICY MAGNATE. DEAD
Chicago, 111., July 2G (PPNS) —
oea h of Ily Kelly a couple of
v-ecks ago climaxes a life which
proved anything can happen in Amer
ica. He was at one time a big short
in the city's notorious policy racket.
Kelly, one of three brothers, who
gained doubtful fames as policy men,
gamblers and petty gangsters. They
were Walter, Ross and Ily.
Walter, like Ily, went in for policy
and cut quite a figure when the game
was put cn a business basis with the
connivance of political and official
leaders. He later broke up his Chi
cago interests and embarked in the
policy racket , in Gary where he pros
pered until his enemeis caught up
with him in 1938 and ended his car
eer with machine gun bullets. Ross,
was a small time gambler who spent
a great deal of his time around the
race tracks plunging on the thorough
breds. It is said that he sometimes
bet as much as -1.000 and $2,000. on
I i
this horse to cross the wire first anu
is known to have won as much as $8
000 in one day's activity, he died in
1936.
Ily, who showed the greater organ
izing genius worked closely with the
entrenched gambling syndicate head
ed by the late Billy Skidmore and
soon became one of the leading "pol
icy kings.” His “keno parlor” a'.
104 E. 51st S.t, and 411 Club at 411
E. 63d St., Chicago, were two of hir
finest and best known gambling em
poriums during his heydey. Walter
was generous to his friends and team
worthy causes. Funeral services
were held at Jackson's Funeral Homi
with Rev. Clarence Cobb, Firs'
Church of Deliverance officiating.
He is survived by a widow, Mrs. Lor
etta Sue Kelly, a daughter, Loretta,
age, 9, a sister, Mrs. Vivian Carter,
of Richmond, Ind., two cousins, Miss
Halcie Gilliam of Chicago and Mrs
Irvena Ming of New York.
