Eighteen-Year-Old
Girl Takes
Poison; Will Live
The timely arrival of physicians
probably saved the life of 18-year-old
Sadie Beckman, who attempted sui
cide last night at Forty-ninth and Un
derwood avenue, by swallowing an
ounce of iodine and then throwing
herself on the itreel car tracks, where
she was found unconscious by Motor
man M. Lynch of a Dundee car.
Lynch picked up the unconscious
girl and took her to the Dundee
pharmacy, where she was given first
aid by Drs. Manning and Harry Sulli
van. Sergeant Wheeler later took
the girl to St. Joseph's hospital.
She refused to assign any reason for
the attempted suicide.
The girl is a domestic at the home
of C. B. Moffitt, 4817 Webster street,
where she applied for work a week
ago. She says she has no home, par
ents, nor relatives.
Mr. Moffitt said that the girl left
the house about IS minutes before she
took the poison, presumably to go to
a store, and did not return. She has
always appeared to be in a jolly mood
and did her work well.

HAPPY CROWD AT
MUNICIPAL FETE,
- t
Officials and Just Folks at the i
Auditoriujn to Take Part in i
First of Series Given Un
der City Auspices.
SOUTH SIDE
There was no use "praying lor those
lights to go out" in the Auditorium
last night during the community
dance, because it was not that kind of
a dance.
The first municipal tcrpichorcan ;
frolic was as great a success as the!
promoters hoped it would be. The
Board of Public Welfare will give
more of these dances during the win
ter. Lizzie from the box factory was
there in her neat shirt waist, accom
panied by her best young man. Marie,
wlio has a responsible office position
in one of the downtown buildings,
also was there, with a male entourage
of one and there were many who
sought Lizzie and Marie for dance
numbers.
Kn.ts While Dancing.
Miss Rose Ladenburg was among
those present. She is a miss in her
teens and resides in apartment No.
3. The Sterling. She demonstrated
the value of knitting as she danced.
She used four old-fashioned steel
knitting needles and continued her
knitting for the Red Cross while she
tripped through a one-step of a mili
tary waltz. She said she could keep
her mind on the dancing and do her
knitting at the same time. She was
popular with a coterie of khaki-clad
men. Miss Ladenburg knitted during
the intermissions.
The crowd was estimated at 1,000.
The grand march at 9:30 o'clock was
led by Judge George Holmes of the
municipal court and Mrs, Rose M.
Ohaus of the Board of Public Wel
fare, followed by members of the
city council and their wives and mem
bers of the Board of Public Welfare
and their "better halves."
No Flirting Necessary.
It was not necessary to flirt at the
community dance. City hall em
ployes served on a sociability commit
tee to see that the lonesome Janes
met the lonesome Jims. A girl in
sailor dress was introduced to a sol
dier boy and the twain extended their
acquaintance through mutual friends.
"Don't you wish you were me?"
asked a girl to a friend on the side
lines, as she glided by with a Sammy.
"Wher 's your man at?" asked Liz
zie of Marie when she observed her
friend standing alone.
A. E H. Thompson, Byron P.
Demorest, Byron S. Badger and Ed
win D. Baker, comprising the
Amphion quartet, entertained during
the evening with a repertoire of se
lections which won applause.
City Officials Dance.
The Omaha Bohemian orchestra
played patriotic selections during the
early part of the evening and fur
nished the dance music.
Coffee and cakes were served by the
city hall folks.
Omaha's first community dance was
commended by city officials who ob
served the event with critical eyes.
City Commissioners A. C. Kueel and
D. B. Butler gave an exhibition of of-J
ficial nimbleness. Member J. A. Rine
of the Board of Public Welfare
showed that he had not forgotten his
early education gained when attend
ing barn dances at Fremont. Assistant
City Attorney L. J. TePoel, also was
a dashing figure on the dance floor.
And there wasn't a fight during the
whole live-long evening.
No New Developments in
Dunn's Rumored Resignation
"There has been nothing new since
last summer in connection with the
resignation of Chief of Police H. W.
Dunn," stated Superintendent A. C.
Kugel.
Mr. Kugel added that at the time
of the police department investiga
tion he understood that Mr. Dunn in
tended to resign and his later informa
tion was that the chief intended to
wait until the end of the year.
Chief Dunn is now on a hunting
trip near Sutherland, Neb.
