wAJOR J. H. BURKE
DIES OFPNEUMONIA
Associate of Late Colonel Cody
Expires Suddenly in Hos
, pital at Washington.
SEVENTY-FOUR YEARS OLD
(From a Staff Correapondent.l
Washington, April 12. (Special
Telegram.) Major John H. Burke,
for many years associate and intimate
friend of Colonel W. F. Cody, died
this mprning at Providence hospital
of acute pneumonia. He was stricken
early in the week and taken imme
diately to the hospital by the Elks.
He had been visiting friends here for
several weeks.
Major Burke toured the United
States and Europe with the wild west
show and like Colonel Cody was
honored by the ruling heads of the
old world. He was 74 years old.
Well Known Here.
One of the real veterans in the
publicity game, Major Burke knew
more American newspaper men by
their first names than any press agent
who ever lived, with the possible ex
ception of "Stuttering" Charlie Davis.
He was sure of a welcome in the of
fice of every newspaper in the land,
because of his personality. The com
panion of presidents and kings, en
tertainer of the haut ton as well as
pal of the humblest, he mingled freely
with company of all aorts, his unfail
ing geniality and courteous habit
marking him as especially gifted for
his part. And he waa dignified, too,
as became a gentleman who respected
himself and his calling.
In Omaha he was very well known,
as he had visited the city annually for
a third of century or longer, and
was always welcomed by a group of
friends who valued him because of
his sterling qualities as a man. He
was here last summer as usual, spend
ing about a week in the city.

ranged to build 1,000 ships for the
Atlantic.
Field Marshal von Hindenburg,
the premier went on, had declared
that German submarines would put
f'.ngland out of business before the
United States was ready.
"He does not know America," the
nremier declared.
He added that Von BindenburgV
prophesy "was as false as his famous
line, which we have broken already."
The United States, the speaker con
tinued, had the noble tradition of
never having engaged in war except
for liberty. He asserted the present
was the greatest struggle for liberty
upon which America had ever em
barked. He rejoiced more in the
knowledge that America was going to
win the right to sit at the conference
table when terms of peace were de
cided than at the resources it would
bring to the allies.
"I can see peace coming now," the
premier declared. He said it would
not be a peace which would mean
endless preparation for strife and
bloodshed, out "a real peace such as
this old world has never known."
Strange things had happened in this
war, he declared, and stranger things
were to come. Today a devastating
war was being waged. Tomorrow
perhaps not a distant tomorrow war
might be abolished forever from the
category of human crime.
Mr. Lloyd George said It would
have been a tragedy for mankind if
America had not placed itself in a
position to take part in the peace
conference, with all the influence and
power for right which it was now
winning for itself. '

PAPER MAGNATES
ARE INDICTED BY
A FEDERAL JURY
(CantlnaMi From Fate One.)
Department of Justice in February
"at the request of the Federal Trade
commission." Subsequently the com
mission and the manufacturers reached
an agreement in respect to prices.
"The Federal Trade commission in
its preliminary report to congress de
clared there existed in news print a
combination in restraint of trade and
that while there was no actual short
age in news print paper, a very defin
ite equilibrium between the available
supply and, the demand had been
brought about artificially in the trade,"
Mr. Colby said. "The grand jury, as
the result of its independent investi
gation has, in effect, reached the same
conclusion and has indicted the men
whom it considers as responsible for
these conditions.
The Period Covered.
'The prices charged by members of
the association are greatly in excess
of prices which independent pro
ducers, even under war conditions, are
content to receive. There has been a
relatively slight advance in the cost of
materials, but nothing comparable to
the advance in prices which has been
made through the concerted action of
the members of this combination and
under restricted competitive condi
tions brought about by the associa
tion." The Indictment states the inquiry
covered the period since December,
1914. The total daily output of news
print paper, chiefly used by newspa
pers, is put at 6,300 tons in Canada
and the United States, with a value of
$250,000. Of this amount, it is al
leged, 5,600 tons were controlled by
forty-five specified companies, whose
trade the defendants are accused of
engaging in a conspiracy to restrain.
the association is described in the
indictment as a voluntary trade asso
ciation composed of firty-five firms
and having "no constitution, by-raws,
nor minutes of proceedings."

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, April 12. (Special.) The
house today listened to long reports
made by the majority and minority
members of the joint committee of
the house and senate appointed sev
eral weeks ago to investigate the
probability of securing something for
the state from the old claim against
the Capital National bank, which
tailed twenty-four years ago, in which
the state lost nearly $.i00,000.
The majority report favored the
appointment of a committee to make
a thorough investigation of the mat
ter after the present session has
closed, in the belief that something
could be secured, while the minority
icport, which was signed only by
Senator Albert, did not belneve there
was enough chance to recover to war
rant the state in going into the inves
tigation. , , .
Representative Fultz said that Sen
ator Albert had asserted the statute
of limitations had run out. He was
of the opinion that Mr. Albert was
mistaken.
Mr. Fultr called attention to the lit
igation of the Jones National bank
of Seward against the Capital Nation
al bank directors and stockholders
and said that after the case had been
up to the United States supreme court
twice, it had finally, in last April, been
decided in favor of the Seward bank.
He believed there was a chance to
win the case in answer to a question
by Peterson as to what chance he
thought the state had, but did not
care to venture a prediction, because
he had not had time to investigate.
Bloodhounds Used on Trail
Of Burglar at Fairbury
Fairbury, Neb., April 12. (Special
Telegram.) Sheriff Rawles and Chief
of Police Williams mad an attempt
with bloodhounds to run down the
man who robbed the Joslin lumber
yard office last night. Hounds took
up a trail that led to a rooming house
on Third street. On being admitted
to the building they entered a room
but authorities did not consider evi
dence sufficient to make any arrests.
This makes the second burglary in
this office this week. Several rob
beries have been reported during the
last week.
Recently four fellows attempted to
hold up Meyer and Simon Levin,
proprietors of the Boston store. The
proprietors heard them plotting and
ran down the street.

Mr. Kish came originally from
Europe, and, while across the big
pond, ripened his knowledge of furs
in the leading centers of the old world.
Anton L. Kish has charge of all of
the fur-making, fur-repairing, etc., at
Dresher Brothers' immense Dry
Cleaning and Dyeing plant at 2211
2217 Farnam St., and also attends to
the workings of Dresners' immense
Fur Storage Vaults.
It is utterly impossible to better
the construction of Dreshers' .Fur
Storage Vaults. They are made of
concrete and steel, are tire, moth and
burglar' proof and finely equipped with
every late device known to the Fur
Storage art. The temperature in
Dreshers' Fur Vaults are automati
cally maintained at 28 to 35 degrees
in summer months, and this steady
temperature is what aids so materially
in keeping furs in their original state
of freshness.
Dresher Brothers are becoming lo
cally famous through their broadcast
offer to pay "$50,000 for any moth that
can live in the Dresher Fur Storage
Vaults." i
During the coming warm season Mr.
Kish will make special low prices, on
not only fur repairing work, but on
the making up of entire new furs.
He will be glad to explain storage
methods to all interested ones and ad
vocates the early storage of furs. He
will be more than glad to meet all

as many new ones as possible.
