He was on his way down town to see the circus parade, when he met George Pfeiffer, 1724 Dorcas street. The two boys decided to wait on the corner of Francis street for a "hop." ' An automobile truck of the Knten brink & Son Brick company, oper ated by At Kritenbrink, swung into necessary violence ana onicers it Sixteenth street at Dorcas, a block charB of the jail must permit pns The city council adopted a set of special rules prepared by Mayor Dahlman and Commissioners Jardine and Butlerfor the guidance of the po lice department and being, as ex plained by the city attorney, "a cul mination of the police investigation." An abstract of the special rules fol lows : Officers and members of the police department must take orders only from those empowered to give such orders; no outside influence will be permitted in police affairs and mem bers of the department will be pro tected by the city council if they re fuse to recognize outside influence; policemen must be diligent In en forcement of all laws and particular attention is directed to bootlegging, prostitution and gambling; officers must report to superiors all places where violations of law are believed to be practiced and also report names of persons suspected of violations; the chief of police will be held respon sible for enforcement of laws and or dinances and he is assured of the support and backing of the city coun cil in performance of his duty. Must be Civil. The fourth special rule reads: "Each member of the department in his conduct arid deportment must be quiet, civil and orderly. In the per formance of his duty he must main tain decorum and attention, and com mand his temper. He must be patient and use discretion at all times. He must at all times refrain from harsh, violent, coarse, profane or insolent language, and at the same time, when required, act with firmness and suffi cient energy to perform his duty." Policemen must refrain from un necessary violence ana onicers in south. When it passed the two boys they attempted to "hook a ride.'' Pfeiffer succeeded, but Siegel was thrown under the wheels and killed. Siegel lives' at 1928 Sough Eight eenth street. He is a son of E. Sie gel, a grocer at 1724 Dorcas. Young Siegel was graduated from the Castelar Street school in June, Child Falls from Second Floor Without Even Scratch Omaha is certainly the place to take care of children. There is not a chance of a child being hurt here unless something more than a miracle should happen. Mrs. H. Goldman of New York City is in Omaha visiting with her sister, Mrs. A. Kaiman, 2211 Clark street. Her little daughter is with her. Sunday the family went upstairs and the baby was sitting in the win dow. Suddenly the screen gave way and the little girl plunged to-the ground. The mother immediately ran down stairs and picked up the scream ing child. Dr. Philip Sher was called but not even a scratch was found on the child's body. Less than two weeks ago -a similar accident occurred when a child plunged three stories to the ground but upon examination not a bone was found broken. Michigan Red Cross Man Here on National Work Mark McKee of Detroit, assistant director of the Michigan Red Cross, is expected in Omaha today to con fer with Frank W. Judson, Nebraska Red Cross chairman. Mr. McKee is one of the big men in Red Cross work. He won particular distinction by the manner in which he organ ized the northern states for the work. School Board to Build On the Druid Hill Site The Board of Education was granted a building permit for erec tion of a new school on the Druid Hill site at Thirty-first and Spaulding streets.

The resolution embodying the spe cial rules contains a series of where ases referring to alleged bickering and jealousies in the departments, rumors of outside influence and a need to place the department upon an efficient working basis. Expert Truck Drivers Are Wanted for Quick Service W. G. Ure, Red Cross secretary, re ceived a call for fifty volunteer motor drivers for immediate service in France. The call specifying "twenty expert motor truck drivers, twenty helpers and ten expert mechanics,'' was cabled by Major Grayson M. P. Murphy, head of the Red Cross mis sion in France. The service is without compensa tion, the American Red Cross paying transportation and living expenses. Men beyond military age are prefer red. . Flower Will Be Secretary Of "Y" While Denison Gone R.

"In my opinion the state board of mediation and investigation has the power, to compel the employers to come before it and testify in the strike hearing," said Robert Cowell, chairman of the board. "But we have not done it, since the employers have taken the ground that they need not testify while the injunction against them and the laborers is in effect. "There is no opinion on record that warrants them in taking the ground that they need not testify in a case like this. They have only the advice of their attorney on the matter. If it were a violation of the injunction for them to testify, then it would be a vidlation of the injunction for the strikers to testify, yet they testified freelv. and no trouble resulted. tentatively the board had set Won day as the date for reopening the hearing at the city hall, but because a temporary restraining order has not yet been disposed ot in the courts the meeting: ot the board nas been post' noned until Wednesday of this week, At that time. 10:30 in the morning, Chairman Cowell indicated, the hear- ine- will be reopened whether the court has by that time finally ruled on the restrainina order or not. The full report of the proceedings cannot be made to the governor until both sides are heard from. There are 1.500 Daees of transcript in the testi monv Eiven by the strikers. Unly a verbal report was made by the board to Governor Neville a week ago, as there had not been time for the board to digest the big transcript and pre pare a report. Obituary Notice MTSS SAITH B.

But think of the helpless babies of the poor, panting for breath in the heat, without milk, without ice, hovering between life and death. The Bee's fund is supplying pure milk and cooling ice to dozens of these little ones. It i the only pub lic means of caring for them. It means life to them during the extremely critical period of summer's heat. What better use could be made of a dollar than to buy ten quarts of pure milk for such babies? The visit ing nurses administer the fund, so that not a cent is wasted. Bring or send any sum from 10 cents to $5 to The Bee office. You will gain a blessing from it, too.

BLUFFS POLICE AFTERAUTOISTS Arrest Every Automobilist that Even Looks Like He Wanted to Speed; Especially the Omahans. "If a man desires to go to Council Bluffs by automobile, the proper way for him to do is to ship his car to the first station beyond the Bluffs, un load it and come through the town from the east. Otherwise, he is go ing to be arrested," said C J. Lane, general freight agent of the Union Pacific, after paying a fine assessed up by the police judge of Council Bluffs and balancing his cash account. "Still, I suppose they need the money and that is why, over in Coun cil Bluffs, they arrest every Omaha man they see driving an automobile. It is like this: Officers All Along. "From the east' end of the wagon bridge all the way up town the Bluffs authorities have been stationed, whose sole business seems to be to arrest Omaha automobilists. These officers are disguised as farmers, tramps, laborers and dudes. Secreted in the high grass and in the bushes, they have motorcycles, Fords and all kind of contraptions. If they see a car pass east, regardless of the speed at which the machine is going, they dart out on the driver and run him down. They work in relays and by the time an Omaha driver reaches Tearl street he is being trailed by all the way from six to a dozen of these officers. He is taken to police court and sworn into paying a fine, regard less of the speed at which he has been going." During the last week, Mr. Lane has made two automobile trips to Council Bluffs. During this period he has been called before the police judge twice and each time he has paid a fine for speeding. Now he says he is through going to the Iowa town in an automobile. Bridge Guards Ordered to Prepare for Prompt Removal Company B of the Fourth Nebras ka, which has been guarding one of the Omaha railway bridges for sev eral months, has been ordered' to pack up their supplies and be ready to move promptly.
