POLICE SAHKEUP THREATENED BY CITYC0UNCIL (Continued from Pare One.) fair?" asked Commissioner Butler. What Pipkin Said. "Pipkin, one of the Chadron de fendants." "What did Pipkin tell you?" "He contended all the way through that there was nothing in it and that Maloney knew nothing of it." "You talked with Kugel on this mat ter?" asked Attorney Baker. "We talked the case over in a gen eral way, but he did not express any opinion as to the guilt or innocence of anybody." "Did Kugel indicate that he thought Maloney guilty?" "No." Further questioning' failed to elicit anything material from Chief Dunn, who admitted he had no definite or personal information against Maloney. He stated that he and Maloney had not been on friendly terms. People Have Voice. R. J. Sutton introduced himself as brother of Detective Paul Sutton and secretary of United Improvement Clubs of Omaha. He said: "Is this hearing to cover up or re veal the truth? I know Chief Dunn has made no effort to prove his charges or to get information. -You should let Kugel' get the witnesses. You commissioners have the decision in this cast on your hands, but the people of Omaha will have the, last word." ' Detective Sutton told of the cir cumstances of going to Chadron in the first instance: "I went to Kugel's house when he was ill. I told him the Omaha Detective association was a blackmailing organization and that Pipkin, Barta and Unger were tipping stuff off to them. That's why I would not have Pipkin, Barta and Unger with me when we made raids with the morals squad. I told Kugel he should know something of what is going on in his own department even if he was sick." "Do you know anything more to show that Maloney was connected with the Omaha Detective associa tion?" asked Butler. "I can get many witnesses to snow that Maloney was connected. There is Bessie Wilson of 707 South Six teenth street and there are others." At this juncture the council ad journed, with the understanding that all witnesses would be present Wednesday morning. "We may have to send to Chad ron for some of the witnesses," sug gested Sutton. . "There will be time for that. This hearing will take some time," replied Butler. ,7Have you talked with Ellen Lowry, alias Elsie Phelps, alias Clara Wat son?" asked Attorney Baker of Chief Dunn. . "I have never met her, was the reply. "Did Kugel ask you to call any wit nesses to shaw that Maloney was guilty of conrpiracy to blackmail?' "No." "You investigated in the department to determine whether Maloney was involved?" "Yes." "And you found nothing? Hard to Get Facts. "It has been hard to get anything out of anybody on this affair. My information came from the news papers." "Have you any due that Maloney was in anywise connected with the conspiracy?" i "I don't know of anything along that line. The Chadron case, might develop more." "And it micht develop less?" "Yes." "Did vou make any effort to get in formation?" asked Commissioner Butler of the chief. "I depended on witnesses on both sides." was the answer. "Any friction between your depart ment and Maloney?" "Haven't gotten along as well as we might. "The chief," interposed the mayor, "does not seem to have anything on which to base the charges. It is not fair to eo into this arty further. I don't think there is anything against Ma onev now 1 think that at a gen eral investigation that if anybody knows anything let him come in and tell all he Knows. Chamber is Crowded. The council chamber was crowded A few women were present. Captain Allen ti. Usher or Lhadron heard part of the testimony. The chief difficulty of the opening session was to hold the hearing'down to charges against Maloney without allowing too much extraneous matter to creep in. LET NOT BATHS BE STOPPED BY WAR Price of Soap Soars, But You Can Meet That Situation by Buying It by the Box. By A. R. GROH. Is the great American institution of soap to go next into the limbo of for gotten things? Are we to be deprived of this luxury by the ruthless hand of war? It's a serious question, citizens. A woman went into a Sixteenth street store the other day and asked for three cakes of her favorite toilet soap. She handed the clerk 25 cents. "It's 35 cents now," said the clerk, "because of the war." "Well, I'll get it somewhere else, then," said the woman and she flounced out in righteous indignation. She entered another store, ordered the same soap and handed the clerk a quarter. it s JS cents now, said tne cierk. She took it. What Can You Do? And this is the sad story all along the soap line. "Here is a toilet soap we have sold for years at 10 cents, three for a quar ter, said a Sixteenth street druggist. "Now it is 13 cents, three for 35 cents. Ivorv that we sold at 4 and 5 cents a cake is now 7 cents. Here's a line of shaving sticks,' powders and creams which sold at 20 cents. Thev are 25 cents now. Here's a soap, sold for years at three cakes for a quarter, they are 12 cents straight now." Yes, triends, it s on account o: tne war. Said a soap manufacturer: Lye and soda ash factories in this country are working night and day and they are sunolvine domestic demand only on existing contracts, shipping all they possibly can abroad. Costs Three Times as Much. "We are oavlnB iust twice as much now for animal fats and vegetable oils as we were last fall. Glycerine that was selling at 15 cents a pound a year ago is now selling at 45 cents a pound. Before the war 50 per cent of our glycerine came from abroad. That supply is all cut off now. "Besides all this we have to contend with the much higher prices of paper and boxes and the price of labor is higher also." bo vou see, tne soap men nave a good alibi. , A few stores still have a supply of Rnrahclli. a Soanish castile soap at the old prices. Castiles imported from Italy are scare and high. What, then, is to be done? Are we to forego the Saturday-night luxury? No I A thousand times no. That step is unthinkable. Never shall we submit to such an alternative. Amid the crash of nations we never shall undergo that privation. The solution is at hand, l lie soutn Sixteenth street druggist told it to me. It is tins: Buy your soap by tne dozen cakes or by the box. A soap, he said, that sens tor 13 cents a cake is only $1.30 a dozen. In other words, vou get a dozen cakes for the price you would pay for ten cakes if you bought them one at a time. You get two cakes free when you buy a dozen. "Besides, soap will wear longer when it is 'aged.' The older soap gets, the less moisture it contains and consequently the longer it 'lasts. " Here is the economical solution, friends. And the bath shall "continue in its pristine glory, undimmwl by the clash of war. ' It was admitted to be a hard matter to draw a line of demarcation between the Maloney hearing and a general police department investigagtion. Mayor Danlman is presiding. What Kugel Said. Mavor Dahlman made certain that Sutton said "Pipkin, Barta and Un ger" and wrote thejiames on a mem orandum. Commissioner Kugel made this statement from his chair: "I denv that It remarked to any body that I was pleased at the out come of the Chadron hearing. When these charges were filed against Ma loney it was the understanding mat they slnuld be held pending final disposition of the Chadron case and then hold the general investigation of the department as an independent matter. "I did say that I believe that Ma loney or any man of the department who was bound over to a district court should be suspended pending determination of his case. I did not know that Maloney was involved in this affair until I returned from Bur lington." "Do vou know anything more re garding Maloney?" asked Butler. "No. All 1 knew was wnat i read in papers saved by Mrs. Kugel while I was away." "Why did you send Sutton to Chad ron?" asked Attorney Baker. While Kugel Was III. "Sutton came to my home when I was ill. The nurse had denied visi tors, but she admitted Sutton. He said he had something very important to tell me. He mentioned the name of the Omaha Detective association in connection with a blackmail scheme at Chadron and said it lookad as if some of our men were connected with the affair. I told him to follow up the case and go to Chadron if necessary. No names of members of the police department were mentioned to me at that time." "Didn't you have enough interest in the matter to ask Suton who might have been involved?" asked Baker. "I was not well at the time and ex pected Sutton would report back to me." "Did lie mention Elsie Phelps?" "I think he mentioned her." "Did vou understand some alias woman was going to take Sutton 500 miles awayr "I was sick and did not go into de tails."

This informa tion was first given out at the army recruiting station, with the additional tip that they had asked numerous questions concerning their duties as privates in the regular army and that they were to return soon to enlist. Not half an hour later the National Guard headquarters put out a similar bulletin. And now the names of the young hearties appear on the navy's list ol recruited. Seventy-five marines, enlisted in Omaha, are en route to Norfolk, Va., going over the Illinois Central. Dr. W. W. Peebles has left for the military training camp at Des Moines. Dr. Praig Morris takes charge of his office at 220 South Thirteenth street. Dr. Madison, H. J. Pinkett, Will N.

When told to unpack all the American flags Jie could hnd and unturl them on me building to help boost the Liberty bond cam paign, he obeyed orders, never notic ing that one of the flags bore the Ger man colors. Evidently it had been stowed away for a long time with the rest. One of the directors of the United States National bank, noticing the enemy's flag, inquired, of his neigh bors, the first National bank authori ties, the reason for the appearance of the flag. To their horror, they saw the mistake. Needless to say, the janitor, lost no time in hauling down the flag.

Society women who sell their daughters in marriage to gain social prestige, and society girls who fear to slight men of loose morals be cause doing so would nrhar them from invitations to exclusive functions came under the ban ot the Rev. Henry S. Foster, rector of the Church of the Ascension in Denver, who delivered the commencement oration at Brown ell Hall yesterday morning. "I would rather see my throe daughters in their graves than married to some men ii. Denver who are re ceived in the very best homes and re garded as the most eligible men in the city," iltv. Foster declared. Moral Coward. . "The girl who consents to dance with a drunken partner for tear that to snub him would mean her social ostracism is a moral coward and is just as much responsible for tilling a drunkard's grave as he is." "Men will conform to the standards of morality women demand. If women of this country would be true to their ideals for only one vear, this country would witness a reformation the world has never seen before." "Society is a legitimate ambition, I suppose," mused the rector, address ing the graduates, whom he asked to be thankful for the position they en joyed, "but God knows society needs something more than argumentation. I hope some of you are slill obsessed with the notion of just making homes sometimes in the future." Jezebel would find her counterpart in many of the painted-faced, dressed up women on the down-town streets, he said. "Be religious in your work and play," he urged. "Christ didn't talk theology, and the time has gone by when to be religious one must go about with a Bible under the arm and looking like you have chronic dys pepsia. Just live it. Don't lower your standards or ideals," he ex horted the graduates. Bishop Arthur L. Williams con ferred diplomas upon the graduates. Randall Brown Surprised That Des Moines Gets Camp Randall K. Brown, president of the Commercial club and member of the joint Commercial club and Real Estate Board committee which worked for the location of a canton ment camp at Omaha, said: "I ain surprised at Des Moines being chosen. However, we feel that Omaha still has a chance for a similar camp, for when we were at Chicago we were told that a bill is recommended to congress by the army staff, providing for sixteen more cantonment camps. If this goes through, Omaha will still be in the race. We have assurance besides that the army posts now at Omaha will; be filled up with troops, and it is likely that additional facilities of some kind will have to be provided at Omaha. We leant also that there is talk ol en larging the quartermaster depot here." In Love With a Spy?
