ng the life of his wife, George Kaze
:os, 1703 Dodge street, a Greek in
:erprcter, was discharged in police
:ourt this morning. His wife, Leila
Kazuros. is suing him for divorce.
She is a barber at 716 North Sixteenth
street.
Kazeros testified that his wife and
her family were attempting a
"frameup" on him. He said his wife
had called him to come to her home
and asked him to bring a gun with
him because she was alone and was
afraid. He said he brought no gun
with him, but when he arrived at the
house the police were called and asked
to arrest him on a charge of carrying
concealed weapons.
Food Thieves Held
To District Court;
a BondsSet At $750
The three youthful grocery store
burglars, Gus George. William Mc
Kenna, and William Bixler, arrested
Monday following a surprise attack
while the grocery store of Tom John
son, Twentieth and Lake streets, was
being robbed, were arraigned Friday
morning in police court on a burglary
charge and waiving preliminary ex
amination were bound over to the
district court in bonds of $750 each.
The boys, each of whom is under 21,
confessed to participating in a num
ber of automobile thefts, grocery rob
beries, holdups and tire stealings.
George, first of the trio arrested,
gave information which led to the ar
rest of McKenna and Bixler, both of
whom had escaped when patrolmen
caught the gang looting the Johnson
store.
The three young men were recently
released from the state reformatory
at Kearney, and had been in the city
only since the latter part of August,
at which time the systematic depreda
tions on grocery stores and meat mar
kets began. '
They are confined in separate cells
at the city jail and yesterday asked
a trusty to carry notes from one cell
to the other. The trusty agreed to
carry the notes, but instead of deliver
ing them placed them in the hands of
Acting Chief of Detectives J. Dunn.
In these notes they are alleged to
have cautioned each other to "sit
tight" and make no more confessions.
Police, however, are collecting evi
dence against them and say they will
have no trouble in connecting them
with many of the provision robberies.
REFORMATION TO
BE OBSERVED HERE
Lutherans of Synodical Con
ference to Celebrate Four
Hundredth Anniversary at
Auditorium Sunday.
Many Lutherans of Greater Omaha
will celebrate the four hundredth an
niversary of the Protestant Reforma
tion Sunday at a meeting in the
Auditorium at which prominent
speakers will be present.
The churches arranging this cele
bration are those belonging to the
synodical conference of the Lutheran
church, with 800,000 communicant
members in theJUnited States.
Other Lutheran churches of Omaha
held their celebration early last sum
mer because of the fact that certain
speakers could be obtained only at
that time. The present celebration
will be nearer to the exact date when
Martin Luther nailed his famous 95
theses to the door of the castle church
in Wittenburg, October 31. 1517.
While the celebration Sunday is ar
ranged by the Lutheran churches of
the synodical conference, it will be
attended by Lutherans of other con
ferences and synods and by people
of other churches.
The meeting will begin at 2:30 p.
m. Representative Lutheran leaders
will speak, including Prof. W. H. Dau
and Prof. Francis Pieper, both of
Concordia seminary, St. Louis, Mo.
Congregational and chorus singing
will be a feature of the service. A
large attendance is expected.
Keating Convicted On
Charge of Stealing Auto
Frank Keating was convicted on a
charge of grand larceny by a jury in
criminal court. He was accused of
stealing an automobile owned by
Clark W. Carnaby. Keating's alleged
partner, William Walters, will be
tried next week.
Walters, according to police, hid in
a hay loft on the day he was arrested.
When officers entered the barn Wal
ters covered himself with hay and
"barked like a dog." When a police
man remarked that he was "going to
kill the vicious animal" Walters un
covered himself and surrendered.
Finds Bridegroom
0. K.; Gives Consent;
Couple Now Wedded
When Charles O. Green, 21 years
old, and Lucinda Gilbert, 17 years old,
applied to "Cupid" SlubbcnUorf, clerk
of the court, for a marriage license
he showed them the following tele
gram from Miss Gilbert's father, L.
v.'. Gilbert of Topcka:
If my daughter and Green want a
license, you look Green over. If he is
O. K. in your estimation, issue the
license. If not, hold the girl until 1
can get to Omaha."
The court attache looked the young
man over.
"You're a pretty bright-looking
young man," he said, "1 guess you'll
suit your father-in-law."
They were married in county court
chambers by Municipal Judge
Holmes.
Green and his pride will live at 1812
Dodge street.

A Free
War Cook Book
For every woman reader
of The Omaha Bee
The food that America saves will go far toward
winning the war and saving civilization.
And the women of America control nine-tenths of
the consumption of its food.
Therefore, there is a solemn responsibility resting
on every American home today.
The woman who plans the meals and buys the
food for the mouths that must be fed each day, when
she makes those selections scientifically and econom
ically, not only serves her country, but saves for her
family.
The War Cook Book for American Women, com
piled from official sources by Frederic J. Haskin, and
issued by the United States Food Administration, is
just from the press and ready for free distribution.
It is a digest of the Hoover doctrine of saving by
proper selection and prevention of waste.
Its thirty pages are packed with new recipes, orig
inal formulas and suggestions showing every woman
how to do her part in the great American campaign
to put the Golden Rule above the Iron Law.
Write at once for your copy. Do not delay. Ask
for the War Cook Book, enclose a two-cent stamp for
return postage, and address
