:43 THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: AUGUST 12. 1917. 6 A SOUTH SIDE ANTONOVICH SAYS HE MOOTING Walks Into the Police Station and Surrenders, Confessing Crime Committed Months Ago. What caused George Antonovich to walk into the South Side police sta tion Friday and ftivc himself up on account of a shooting affray which took place over a year ago and in which he was implicated? It isn't a death bed confession, for Antonovich is young and husky. Officers at the station find it hard to believe that the confession was caused by a remorse ful conscience. Antonovich InJ a registration card in his pocket siujwintr that he regis tered at Vvhiteiv, ind. He says he docs not know if he was drawn in the hrst draft or not. . Joe Krizmanic, 56tb South Thirty fourth street, was shot in the right jaw April 24, 1916. He and two of his companions were returning home from a lodge meeting in the Old Set tlers' hall, Thirty-sixth and U streets, when thev were attacked by Joe Ger govich, 3433 V street; Tom Jergovich, .5022 U street, anJ Antonovich. There had been bad teeling between the parties for some time. Krizmanic was paralyzed for some time, but he recovered. The bullet wound affected his spinal column. He was attended by Dr. E. H. Shannahan. After the shooting the three men evaded the police for some time. Gergovich was arrested at Sixteenth and Dorcas stress. Jergovich in Sioux City and brought to Omaha by Officer Jackman. Both men asserted that Antonovich had the only gun and did the shooting. Officers were unable to locate Antonovich, who, his com panions said, had gone to St. Louis. There is no doubt, it is said, as to tht guilt of Antonovich. Police are trying to ferret out his motive in con fessing the crime tixteen months after it was committed. Ready to Give Back Money When the Man Is Weighed "I'll bet you don't weigh no 155 pounds. I'll bet you $6 you don't, said Elmer Brooks, negro, 2015 N street, to W. D. Sullivan, 2916 R street, another negro, who is recover ing from a sick spell. Without any further preliminaries, Brooks took the $6 Sullivan had in his hand and and walked off. "Well, weigh liim, and if I loses 1 11 give him back his money," Brooks said in South Side police court Fri day. , , "We really should keep scales here to settle all such weighty matters," remarked Judge Madden. "Give Sullivan the $6 you took and don't you let me catch either of you gambling again," ordered the judge. Staggers When He Is Thinking Too Hard "Vou mustn't think when you walk, sit down whenever vou want to think," said Police Judge Madden to Anton Blahas, 580o South Twenty- sixth street, who was in South side police court Saturday charged with drunkenness. "I didn't drink nothing. I was only thinking deeply. That a what made me stagger," protested Blahas. MI went fishing and took a pint of whisky with me just to help my luck," explained John Doyle, Forty-sixth and Q strets, who was also being tried for drunkenness. "Then I drank it to bring more luck." "It'i a luckv thing for you that you did drink it," said Prosecutor An heuser, "If that pint of whisky had been on you instead of in you, you'd be fined $100 and costs." Both men were fined $10 and costs. Trip for Root Beer Brings . . : Stolen Jewelry to Light A trip to the cellar for root beer ' brought about the discovery of $175 worth of jewelry. Last Monday some one entered the home of F. J. Engles, 4526 South Nineteenth street, and ransacked the house, taking a diamond ring and other articles of jewelry. Thursday evening some of the mem bers of the family went into the cellar to get some root beer and happened to notice a pasteboard box. "I'll take that upstairs for some pic tures," said Mist Engles. "Here, this is better," said her com panion, reaching for a cigar box lying on the 6helf. The box was heavy and when opened was found to contain all of the missing jewelry. Who took the jewelry and why it was put into a cigar box and put on a shelf in the cellar is a mystery.

Washington, Aug. 11. Chairman Simmons, explaining to the senate to day the finance committee's purposes in redrafting th war tax bill, de clared the changes made will greatly increase the tax burden to be borne by the big corporations, which have profited from the war. In a detailed statement opening the debate on the measure Senator Sim mons said the committee had weighed every schedule carefully during its many weeks of consideration and that the bill is now presented would place the tax where it belonged without working injustice to any one. He did not complete his statement and will continue tomorrow. Replies to Kitchin. Without mentioning him by name the North Carolina senator replied at length to Chairman Kitchin of the house ways and means committee, who recently charged that the senate committee had rewritten the house bill in such a way as to favor pros perous corporations and individuals. On the contrary, the senator insisted, the senate revision would tax the prosperous much more heavily than did the house bill. The house, he said, had been far too lenient with those who had "reaped this harvest of gold." "Certain corporations in this coun try are going to be made to disgorge in order to pay the expense, of this war, a considerable proportion of their income," said Senator Simmons. "The 1916 war profits exceed $3,000, 000,000 dollars. The house lull pro posed a ridiculously small sum from the swollen war profits. It was en tirely too lenient to the men who have reaped this harvest t' gold gold thej exacted out of the earnings of those who must bear the burdens of this struggle." Critics Do Not Know. Senator Simmons said those who criticize the senate committee be cause it substituted a graduating tax on corporations' war profits for a flat rate of 3 per cent so levied by the house, Cid not understand the situation. He declared that out qf fourteen countries having such a tax, only two Canada and Spain impose a war profits tax on a basis other than the plan outlined by the com mittee. Defending the committee's con sumption tax on sugar, tea and cof fee( he said, the original house bill levied just about as much tax in other forms o.t these articles. He denied charge that the senate .bill favored the railroads. Hoch Found Guilty of Signing False Bonds William F.

Washington, Aug. 11. Members of the New York local selective board who were relieved yesterday after an inquiry into the manner in which dis charges from draft had been granted will be prosecuted, officials of the pro vost marshal general's office said to day. So far the New York incident is the only one where any question as to the good faith of a local board has been raised. Officials said, however, that prompt steps to bring offenders to book would be taken on the slight est suspicion of irregularities. Whatever action the New York board may have taken improperly in cases before it will be rectified be fore the district board. If it is shown that fraud or bribery was employed to obtain a discharge from the old board, both the board members and the individual would be liable to prosecution and it was indicated today that the government would seek to make such cases an example against future attempts to evade the draft law.

The difficulty is that the affidavits required cannot be obtained from any foreign country in the time allowed. This has made necessary a ruling to establish a policy. Indications are that discharges will not be granted in many cases of this kind. For one thing, officials say, the soldier will have $25 a month at least to contribute to his family during his army service. That is more than the average foreigner sends home. It can be argued aiso that because of the war situation, the American dol lar lias almost doubled its old pur chasing power abroad. Behind all this, however, is the fact that the interests of the United States are paramount. The authority to grant discharge for dependents was incorporated in the act to. prevent such dependents from becoming pub lic charge of the United States if the breadwinner were taken away. No family in Europe can become a public charge of the United States and it was Sutton Detective I k Agency, Inc. I J PAUL SUTTON has organized j I a Detective Agency.
