Ryan and Joseph Pivonka. South Omaha fire and pollc commissioners, and Mayor P. J. Trainor, who, by virtue of his office. Is the third member of the Fire and Police board, were returned by the Doug las county grand Jury shortly before noon yesterday. The men are charged wiin accepting a bribe. Indictments charging giving the bribe were returned against three persons, two of whom are City Clerk Frank II. Good of South Omaha and former Jus tice of the Peace P. C. Caldwell of South Omaha. Because all the indictments were kept secret, the men not being In custody, details were difficult to obtain and the Identity of tho third man Indicted for Riving- a bribe could not be learned. Sol Ooldstrom. agent of the South Omaha retail liquor dealers, several weeks ago waa grilled by the grand Jury and con fessed that a slush fund to "fix" the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners was msde by the dealers and paid to Good and Caldwell, who were to pass It on to the board members. Uoldstroni Tells of Bribes. Ooldstrom at first was reticent and gave evasive answers. Special Prosecutor Ooss fairly took hi breath away by tell ing him he knew he had perjured him self. Ooldstrom almost collapsed and asked how he could save himself from prosecution for perjury and was told he could do so by telling the truth. He then told what he said was the whole story. Whether or not Ooldstrom Is the third defendant on the Indictment for giving a bribe could not be learned this after noon. One other Indictment against two men was returned. Whether it hss to do with the South Omaha graft Investigation could not be learned. Resalt of Casspalaa. The Indictments are the result of a campaign against alleged graft waged by South Omaha men.

The indictments are for alleged bribery in connection with the fire and police board's handling of liquor license and other saloon matters. Chief of Police John J. Donahue of Omaha was the principal witness before the grand Jury yesterday. The chief was examined regarding charges agslnst the Omaha Fire and Police commissioners and against th Omaha police depart ment.

BARLOW WITHDRAWS HIS HAME raadldate the Clllseas laloa Slate Malalala It la Frrsslss Ikle to Make ladlvld aal (asapalaa. No campaign contribution statements have been t.led In the office of County Clerk Frank liewey. though the corrupt practices act requires that such a state ment shall be filed by every political committee fifteen daya before the pri mary election. The city primary la but a week distant and the time for filing contribution state ments for this election has psssed. though the statements still msr be filed. Fou' days remain for politlcsl committees In terested in the geneial primary of Aprl' IS to file. The law requires statements of all con tributions over 123. Either the officers of the CltlienY union have overlooked this requirement or else the contributions have not been heavy. The l-abur league has filed no statement. Its contributions are said to have been small. raadldate Work for Celres. The randltlstes on th Cttliens' union slate muy be hitched together, but they sre working an Individual campaign al ready wherever they think then can get votes. The question waa put to I. J Ryder, In charge of the slate's publicity, ss to the fact that one of the Cltltene' union candidates had appeared and made a speech for himself before the Loyal club, and that another who was sick bad spoken by prosy. "It Is allowshle, so far at 1 am con cerned," tatd Mr. Ityder. "Some candl dates will get Invitations to meetings, at In this ease, where others cannot break In, and I think they would be foolish ti turn down such inritatlons. When yo't sre In a campaign you must meet the voters where, when and how you can. and to attempt to enlist all ot them sol idly for any one ticket would be futile The Cltlsens' union literature will carry the names of all the candidates Indorsed In a group, but it Is up to the Individual candidates, under existing conditions, to get up and hustle Individually Just as hard as they know how."
