Crime Wave Stirs Omaha.
Omaha , April 22. The mysterious
murder of a millionaire , coupled with
an unusually serious wave of crime
for the past several months , has stir
red the Omaha Commercial club Into
a crusade. Police and detectives ap
pear to be powerless against the prog
ress of stealthy violence , robbery and
all sorts of offenses that are daily re
ported.
The Commercial club has appointed
a large crime investigating committee
and a number of subcommittees , and
the organization intends to clean up
the city morally.
Principal energy Is being directed
against the pool rooms , on the theory
that they are incubators of criminals.
A second purpose Is to wipe out the
notorious practice of certain druggists
in selling cocaine , morphine and other
"dope. " It has been established as a
fact that most of the highway rob
beries have boon committed by mere
boys in their teens , and that a re
markably large element of young reprobates
rebates is to be found In pool rooms ,
bearing the character of crooks and
petty thieves.
Probably the most shocking discov
ery which has been brought to light
in recent investigations of the city's
evils is the prevalence of "dope" vic
tims. Apparently about one out of
every three prisoners brought Into the
station is of the morally lost , drug
using type. All former prosecutions
of druggists for the sale of the drugs
have failed.
No clue has yet been discovered to
the solution of the mystery surround *
ing the death of Herman B. Colin , mil
llonalre clothing merchant , three
weeks ago. Mr. Conn was hsot down
near his home after the theater hour
one night , by an assassin who lay ir
wait , and made no pretense at robbery
or other discoverable motive.
