Bribery Indictments against J. J. 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. J. lean lllnger,
an attorney, ha been In charge of the
campaign, and directed the securing of
evidence and the laying of It before the
grand Jury.
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. Huge Cake of Ice

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.

a speech for himself before the Loyal
club, and that another who was sick bad

The Cltlsens' union literature will carry
