Boy Killed as He
; v Steals Ride On a
Big Auto Truck
George Siegel, IS years old, was
run over and instantly killed by an
auto truck at Sixteenth ahd Francis
streets yesterday.
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

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,

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.

The Board of Education was

oners to communicate with legal
counsel or friends, for the purpose of
obtaining bail, except in instances of
nonresidents whose investigation must
rfollow arrest to best serve the ends of
justice.
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.

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.

R. S. Flower, boys' secretary of the
local Young Men's Christian associa
tion, has been made temporary sec
retary of the local "Y" pending the
absence of E. F. Denison, who has

No Evidence Against the
Girls, So They Are Discharged
Blanche Walsh and Gertrude Parks
were arrested Sunday night on com
plaint of Joe Welcher of Anita, la.
Joe thought they had something to
do with his losing $20, but when all
three appeared in police court no evi
dence was brought up against the
prisoners, so they were discharged. 1
FURTHER HEARING
BY THE MEDIATORS
Chairman Cowell Says Taking
of Statements to .Ba Re
sumed in the Omaha
Strike Matter.
"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.

The Bee's Free Milk'
and Ice Fund
This fearful heat!" we exclaim. 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.

To Lengthen Hours at
Central High School
Superintendent Beveridge of the
public schools will recommend to the
Board of Education an increase of the
school day at Central High school,
to begin with the opening in Septem
ber. The proposed plan is to add one
"hour" to the school day by begin
ning at 8:45 a. m. and "calling it a
dayT' at 2:38 p. m.
The superintendent believes that in
creased school study will yield re
sults and decrease the number of
slackers.
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. The soldiers do
not know whether they will leave for
Fort Crook or Deming, N. M.
Knocked from His Bike
When He Hits Curb
John O'Connor, 2718 Capitol ave
nue, suffered painful injuries when his
bicycle collided with an alley corner
at No. 3 fire engine house, Nine
teenth and Harney streets. He is
messenger for the Robert Dempster
company. No bones were broken.
Dr. Ferdinand King, a New York City Physician and Medical Author, saysi
"Thar can ba no strong, vigorous, iron nan nor baautifnl, haalthy, rosy
cheeked women without Iron Nuxatad Iron taken thraa timaa par day af tar
