    CHARGE WINKLER
WITH CARRYING GUN
Omaha Detective and Mem
bers of Local Police Force
Gain Notoriety in
i Chadron.
Chadron, Neb, May 19. (Special
Telegram.) Phil Winkler, an Oma
ha detective, was arrested on com
, plaint of County Attorney E. D.
Critea for carrying concealed
weapons and on a second complaint
for drawing a gun on Mr. Crites in
his office.
The detective says he is here
shadowing a woman whom he found
in the county attorney's office be
tween 10 and 11 o'clock at night
May 14, and that a gun was drawn
on him. Trial will be before County
Judge Slattery May 21. Winkler is
out on "bail.
Local Police Involved.
Rumors that an explosion involving
the Omaha police had taken place in
Chadron, at the far corner of the state,
have been rife about the citv for a dav
or two. Just what it is no one con-
. cernea seemea wining to tell, ihis
account of- it in the Chadron Journal
leaves it still a mystery, yet has a
suggestive flavor:
"About 10 o'clock Monday night
County Attorney Crites, the woman
detective and Mrs. Robert Hood were
in his office. Sheriff Canfield, Deputy
United States Marshal Wright, Mayor
Donahue and Detective Sutton were
in Dr. Grantham's office adjoining
Crites' office. C. I. Day, L. K. Mote
and a detective named Winkler came
up the stairs and opened the door to
Crites' office. Winkler, who is said
to have carried a gun, presented a
private detective' card, called Day and
Mote to witnesj who was there, then
left. The men in the adjoining room
appeared on the scene, but too late to
head the three men off from getting,
down stairs, but they followed them
down and at the corner of the bank
Mote turned and held Mayor Dona
hue with a gun. Meantime the others
got away and after some words be
tween Donahue and Mote, Mote went
up the street.
Arrested by Force.
. "Shortly after this Crites, Sutton,
Donahue, Canfield and H. B. Coffee
appeared at Fisher & Rooney's office,
where were Day, Mote, Winkler and
A; G. Fisher. On order of County
Attorney Crites, Sheriff Canfield ar
rested Winkler and in taking him out
the glass in the office door was broken
out. Winkler was placed in the
county jail and later charged with as
sault and carrying concealed weapons.
"It is claimed by some that County
Attorney Crites had a gun. Mr. Crites
claimed to have carried a gun through
the hall while looking about after his
gentlemen callers had left.
Employe of Association.
"Winkler was an employe' of the
Omaha Detective association. Sutton
is said to be a member of the Omaha
police force. The woman detective
seems to have worked with both men,
but finally wound up with Sutton.
Now appears one more detective, one
Charles W. Pipkin, secretary of the
Omaha Detective association. Mr.
Pipkin arrived Thursday morning.
One of Mr. Pipkin's chief concerns
Thursday was to keep as much of this
matter out of the newspapers as pos
sible. So far as we are concerned,
we would be more than pleased to
keep it all out, but we feel that when
stunts of this kind are being pul ed
off in our city onr readers are entitled
to know if. ...
"It is chimed that this is partially
an Omaha fight. If so, we would ad
vise those concerned to keep such as
this down in the Third ward in Oma
ha and not bring such rot to Chadron,
a peaceable community.
"We have made a statement of the
facts. There are many questions that
could be asked. Was there an at
tempted 'frame-up?' Was there a
counter 'frame-up?' If so, why so?
And many more. Many conclusions
might be drawn, but they are not for
us It looks to us like a case for the
courts. If matters go into court,
Questions will be asked and answered.
Conclusions will be reached. As mat
ters develop we shall keep our readers
posted. Meantime you can do as
much guessing as you can, you can let
your symoathies out as you please,
you can side with one or another as
you please. But for us, it looks like
bad business." '
.Stop Making Big Pieces
Of Jewelry From Platinum
"The government has not asked the
women of the country to stop buying
platinum jewelry; nor has it asked the
jewelers to refrain from using jlati
. ii: nl-,;n,.m lewlrrv. said
num or kuiub ii.uu....,-- -T.
L. Combs, former president of the
jewelers' national association, whore-
cently returned irom
where Jie attended a conference of
manufacturing jewelers to consider
the platinum situation.
"The impression has got abroad
that the jewelers will stop making
platinum jewelry and that the govern
ment wants all the platinum for war
purposes. We jewelers wish to cor
rect that idea. It was for this pur
pose that the conference was called in
New York. ' ..
"It is only the manufacture of bulky
articles in platinum that is discour
aged. This is merely to avoid the use
of platinum in unnecessary parts, in
this the jewelers are co-operating.
This attitude on the part of the jewel
ers is thoroughly satisfactory to the
government and highly commended
by Secretary Redfield as 'wise, pa-
"Since publicity has been given to
the idea of conserving the platinum
supply, people have the impression
that they can no longer get platinum
jewelry. This is not true. The situa
tion as disclosed shows there is no
shortage of platinum in this country,
while the sources of supply are be
ing increased in every way by the co
operation of the Department of Com
merce. The munition makers have
the platinum necessary for their pres
ent requirements as well as a reserve
stock for the future."

Lieutenant Wilbur, recruiting bf-
ficer of enlisted reserve, is extremely

'The finest bunch of men I ever
saw." was what Colonel Root, ex
amining officer of applicants to the
rort iinelhng training camp, said ot
the Nebraska men before leaving
Omaha to take up inspection work
of the Iowa National Guard. Colonel
Root said that he doubted if a better
and more qualified bunch applied any
where in the country. i look lor
nearly all the young men to make
good. In selecting them we were
very careful to examine them thor
oughly. While many of the appli
cants were rather young in nearly
every case, they haj had some mili
tary training.
Ravmond A. Talbot, son of Mr.
and Mrs. N. O. Talbot, has enlisted
in the United states navy, tie lett
Omaha Saturday night for the train
ing school at bin francisco, Lai.,
where he will take a few months
training before going into the actual
service. He will be located at Mare
island until he goes aboard the ves
sel. I
That "persons applying for admis
sion into the navy after they have
registered for army service will not
be accepted" is the belief of Lieu
tenant Waddell of the navy recruiting
station. "Congress made no provi
sion for drafting of men into the navy
and. I cannot see hov men who have
registered under the draft bill can get
in. We expect to nave tne navy lull
in a short time. There are still many
places open and personally I would
advise ail young men contemplating
entering the navy service to enlist at
once. lieutenant waoaen saio ne
expected a great rush ot applicants
tne next two wetits. ,
The areatest scarcity in the navy is
of firemen and machinists, according
to reports received at the Umaha navy
recruiting station from Washington.
Other branches, the report said, are
keeping pace in proportion to the men
enlisted, the pay ot a nreman, tnira
class is $24 a month to start and that
of machinist, second class $44.
Enlisted men of the Omaha bat
talion of the Nebraska National

The proceeds will be divided among
the companies' mess funds. Miss
Minnie Abrahamson, wno nas two
brothers in Company A, is devoting
all her time to the preparations and
sale of tickets. The De Luxe dancing
academy is donating the use of the

SOLDIER LADS ARE
STRONGFOR Y. M.
Tell of the Good Work Which
Is Done for Uncle Sam'i
Soldiers in Army
Camps. ,
The boys of Company B, Fourth
regiment Nebraska National ' Guard,
are intensely interested in the cam
paign which is now on to raise money
for Young Men's Christian associa
tion work in the army.
All the "old" men in the company
those who were on the Mexican
border know what the association
did for the boys down there, and they
have taught the new recruits to ex
pect great things from the Young
Men's Christian association.
Moreover, there is a Young Men's
Christian association war work tent
and equipment right in the company
camp, at the east end of the Union
Pacific bridge, and the soldiers spend
much of their time there when off
duty. .
I "The public in general does not
know how much the boys owe to the
Young Men's Christian association,"
said Quartermaster Sergeant Weigle.
"If the public did know, it wouldn't
require much effort to raise the $20,
000 allotted to Omaha and the $40,000
allotted to the rest of the state.
"In an army camp there is no place
to seek entertainment, but in the
Young Men's Christian association
building, or tent, as the case may be.
The boys must have recreation. If
they can't get it in camp, they will
get it outside, and when they go out
side camp for their fun they are likely
to do things they shouldn't. Down
on the Mexican border there wasn't
much disposition on the part of our
men to hunt for entertainment in
questionable places. We had the army
Young Mens Christian association
building, where we could go to play
games, read magazines, books and
newspapers, write letters, listen to the
Victrola, and visit with each other in
comfortable surroundings. Every
night there was something doing at
the"Y" a "stunt" or moving picture
show, a lecture or something. The
building was full every night, and at
any hour of the day you could find
plenty of the boys there when off
duty'

KING AK LAYS PLANS
FOR THEBIG SHOW
Date Set for First Initiation
Preceding Festivities of the
Carnival Season.
Whereas, A rumor has been put In rlr
culattoa that Ak-Har-Ben was to aban
don Its work for the year 1017 1 there
fore be It
Resolved, by the Omaha Hotel Men's
Aeeorlatlon. That the abandonment of
the work of Ak-Har-Ben fur this year
would not be In keeping with the gen
eral progress and proeperlty of our rlty.
We believe the work done by Ak-Nar-flen
to not only of great benefit to every
business man and every eltlsen of
Omaha, but that the people throughout
our great state look forward with great
pleasure to the Ak-Mar-llen events.
Withal we deem It the duty of this
association to protest argaln.t abandon
ment of Ak-Sar-Hen work this year or
ny year, whleh abandonment would be
In direct eontrovertlon to President Wll
aon'e rail for Inereaeed rather than de
creased business promoting efforts, ac
tivities and functions.
To, dispel any thought that the Ak-Sar-Ben
festivities will not be held
this Jear Secretary Weaver offers the
foregoing resolution adopted by the
Omaha Hotel Men's association as
evidence of what the business men of
the city think of Omaha's great or
ganization of boosters.
Greater Than Ever Before.
This year's show at the Ak-Sar-Ben
den will be "greater and grander than
ever," according to Secretary Weaver,
who announces that the first initiation
will be Monday evening, June 4, when
members of the Nebraska State Den
tal association will be the victims.
"The Kermiss" is the name of this
season's production, which will be the
vehicle of entertainment and initia
tion. The theme relates to a carnival
and the action, dialogue and songs
have a carnival spirit.
The singers will hold a rehearsal
Monday evening and the working
crew will rehearse Monday, Wednes
day and Friday evenings until the
opening show.
Is Full of Pep. x
Some who have heard rehearsals
say this year's show is the funniest
ever staged by1 the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben.
There is more "pep" than
last year and "Dad" Weaver believes
that is saying much.
Gus Renze, Charles Reese and Os
car Lieben are bearing the managerial
burdens of the production.
The membership hustling commit
tee has been getting good results since
its meeting last Thursday. Eleven
hundred members have enrolled.
Don t wait tor tne nustnng com
mittee to see vou: iust send in your
application and the fee and join the
knights," urges Mr, Weaver.

Bonds for New Athletic
J Club Are Placed on Sale
"The Burns Brinker company Sat
urday issued circulars to investors
advertising the sale of Athletic club
bonds.
This issue was $375,000 and about
$200,000 of this has already been sold,
leaving approximately $175,000 worth
of bonds yet to be disposed of.
On account of the delay in starting
the building, the bonds were not ad
vertised for sale, but after it became
known that they were on the market,
investors were anxious to get them
because of the attractive interest rate.
Purchase of furniture and equip
ment for the building will be made
shortly now, club officers say to
avoid any possible further advance in
price. Considerable of the saving is
expected to be made by this early pur
chase of the equipment.
Excavation for the new building
probably will be under way by the
first of this week. Wrecking of the
old building is now practically com
pleted. T. R. Pleased Pershing
Will Lead Army to France
New York, May 20. Theodore
Roosevelt today expressed his pleas

to command the first American troops
which will go to France.
"At this moment I have nothing to
say," said the colonel when ques
tioned about President Wilson's de
cision not to send volunteers to Eu
rope forthe present, "except that if
the administration had deemed it wise
to grant the request I made about
raising a division three and one-half
months ago the division would have
been ready to sail this coming Mon
day. "After sixty days' intensive train
ing in France it would not have been
distinguishable from the regulars snd
it would have taken away from train
ing of troops at home only one
twelfth of the numher of regular offi
cers that will be taken in the division
of regulars sent abroad."

In only a small number of states
have tenants a legal right to sunlight
snd air. Those are the states that
have housing laws. They are the
only states, too, that hare any pro
tection against slums, and every
state, ' every city, every town has
slums or slum spots.
So It can be seen that those states
which have housing laws are not
especially those which need them
most. They are only the ones that
are the most enlightened.
Most housing laws provide not only
for the correction of slums, but that
houses hereafter erected shall be
properly constructed, at least so as
to be sanitary. So it is evident that
good housing comes both by grace
and by law. Bad housing can be
controlled only by law, and housing
laws deal only with the most vital
essentials necessary to decency and
safety.
There is no housing law in the
country that requires more than the
minimum standards necessary for
safety, as conceded by sanitariums,
architects, legislators and property
owners. They all. grate the danger
line, and everything below is I men-,
ace to the community.
At this time, when the !'?: of
every individual in doubly precious
to our country, it is unpardonable
that lives should be sacrificed by pre
ventable disease bred in the slums
of our cities.
The homes of the nation should all
be protected against disease by the
laws of their states. -
