CLEASON NOT HELD
ON FEDERAL CHARGE
Testimony Does Not Show He
" Got Ring by Impersonating
' Secret Service Agent.
NO CASS AGAINST HIM
After a four-hour hearing before
United ' States Cqmmissioner Mo
Lauehlin. Charlea E. Gleason. a trav
eling talesman for ri. Omaha piano
house, who was arrested about, three
weeks ago by federal authorities and
charged with impersonating a govern
ment' secret service officer, was dis
charged. ,
The specific charse for which Glea
son was held was that of obtaining
a diamond ring valued at $200 from
Jessie r. Siflzer ot Windheld, W. Va.,
nurse, on the strength of his al
leged cfhce as a serciet service man
in the employ of the United State;
government.
Commissioner McLaughlin, in de
ciding whether or not the evidence
warranted the defendant being helJ
to the federal grand jury, declared he
would base his findinr on a common
sense basis and from a standpoint o'
right and wrong.
How He Got the Ring. '
The whole case hinged on the fact
whether or not Miss Sulzer gave
Gleason the diamond ing through the
influence brought to bear along the
- lines of his "secret service" jrestige.
, as sworn to by the woman on the wit
ness stand.
The United States commissioner
iuicu iiiab me gifvci mucin uui iij
had not sustained the technical charge
that Gleason, by virtue of his alleged
, tales of secret service operations, got
possession" of the ring through influ
ence of that nature.-
The soriiewhat lengthy hearing was
taken up for the most part by the of
fering of a mass of testimony by the
government attorney and Gleason's
counsel, I. J. Dunn, and frequent tiltr
over legal technicalities.
Telia Weird Tales.
According to Miss Sulzer's, story on
the witness stand Old King Brady,
. Nick Carter, et at., in their palmies'
days didn't have anything on Glea
" son when it came to vivid .rehearsalr
of "sleuth hound" operations.
She testified Gleason told her that
while he was "secret servicing", he
, had chased counterfeiters to their
, den, battled with ten of them and
was finally overpowered, spending

r Local Credit Men
Members of the Omaha Associa
tion of Credit Men, an orianization
of Omaha, Lincoln and Council Bluffs
credit men, gathered at the Loyal
hotel l nursaay evening tor a banquet
an dto hear an address by Stanley M.
Rosewater on "Bankruptcy Law and
the Credit Men." Mr. Rosewater ex
plained that while some improve
ments could be made by amendments
it would be a mistake to repeal the
federal hankruntcv law because it
would be replaced by as many, and
probably conflicting laws as there are
states in the union. Following Mr.
Kosewater s talk a general discussion
ensued.
Officers of the association are: B.
A.-Wilcox, president; C. N. Robinson,
vice president; C. F. Brinkman, treas
urer; A. B. Palmer, secretary.

New Record is Set Up
For Grassfed Steer
The highest price ever' paid on the
Omaha market for grass fed cattle
was marked up today when a very
fancy grass steer selected from a
shipment of Colorado cattle Sold at
$11.25. The previous high mark was
$11.00, brought by some select Mon-
tana cattle a couple of weeks ago.
Two miles of brick paving will be
handed to property owners along
west Center s(reel between Fifty
fourth and the Northwestern tracks
as a Cristmas present if plans of the
county commissioners as outlined
Friday morning materialize. Bids
will be advertised for at once and the
work started after the expiration of
the required thirty days. In case
paving brick cannot be obtained the
concrete base will be used tempora
rily until spring.
Beseiged by a delegation of twenty
property owners, headed by H. E.
Ball, the commissioners gave assur
ance that the road, said to be in a
deplorable condition, will be improved
immediately.
"Automobile owners will not sell
a car to a resident of the west Cen
ter district and guarantee it for one
year because of the condition of the
Center street road," said Mr. Ball in
his appeal to the commissioners. "We
must have immediate relief."
'I am opposed to spending money
needlessly for temporary road im
provement, but I favor the immediate
laying of brick paving on Center
street," said Commissioner Harte. "To
spend money for macadam is fool
ishness. The next legislature will
without doubt extend aid to the coun
ties in good roads work by levying a
tax on automobiles according to their
horsepower. This tax will probably
average $10 on each auto and will be
turned-into the road fund. We have
$23,700 available in the road fund and
will spend that on west Center street.
As fast as more money accumulates
from inheritance taxes arid other
sources we will extend the paving."
Plans were also made for the grad
ing and improvement of Spaulding
street from the city limits at Forty
eighth to Fifty-seaond. This worl
will complete the boulevard between
Fontenelle park and Krug park.

Train Your Hair at
an Actress Does
No class of people devote as much
time to beauty as do actresses, and
naturally no class must be more care
ful to retain and develop their charms.
Inquiry among them develops the in
formation that in hair care they find
makeshift hair cleanser. Instead they ,
have studied to find the finest prep-1
aration made for shampooing and
bringing out the beauty of the hair. !
The majority of them say that to '
enjoy the best hair wash and scalp
jtimulator that is known, get a pack-!
age of canthrox from your druggist;
dissolve a teaspoonful in a cup of
hot water and your shampoo is ready. !
It costs less than i cents for this ,
amount. After its use the hair dries j
rapidly, with uniform color. Dand-j
ruff, excess oil and dirt are dissolved
and entirely - disappear. Your hair
will be so fluffy that it will look much I
heavier than it is. Its luster and
softness will also delight you, while
the stimulated scalp gains the health
which insures hair growth, Adv.
