Three Warrants Follow Reve
lations by Soldiers and
Women of Under-
world.
. Proprietors of so-called hotels must
eradicate rice and stop the sale of
liquor to soldiers or close their doors
to patronage.
This warning was sounded Friday
i-A ...'rtmi Atinmpv rienrral A.
C Munger gave to Sheriff Clark war
rants against Eaiil Leaf, proprietor
of the Des Moines hotel, Howard
and Thirteenth streets; Julius
Treitschke. lessee of the building, and
Sani Bauman, manager. Bauman now
is serving. a 60-day jail sentence for
liquor violation.
In connection with the warrants the
county authorities have filed a peti
tion to close the hotel for 12 months.
In Nature of Ultimatum.
Backed by War department and
state authority, the county officials
have thus made it plain to hotel pro
prietors in Omaha that vice and sale
of whisky, involving the morals of
soldiers, Ul not be tolerated in this
community.
Disclosures by soldiers and revela
tions by women of the underworld re
sulted in drastic action by the attor
ney general's office.
'Arrests in this latest instance are
based upon a contempt proceedings,
growing out of an injunction against
the Des Moines hotel management
early in the year to restrain the sale
of storing or selling whisky. The
authorities charge the injunction has
been violated.
The evidence in the case was
fathered by the military police from
ort Omaha and presented in the
form of affidavits. Bauman, it is al
leged, made a startling confession
of vice that ran rampant in the
hotel for several months.

Treitschke appeared , in Sheriff
Clark's office Friday morning to
furnish bond for Leaf and learned

Wall Maps and Flossy
Art Calendars, War On
The Union Pacific calendar that
each year for a quarter of a century
has been issued to 200,000 patrons

government order and henceforth

STATE DRENCHED
WITH HEAVIEST
RAIN THIS YEAR
Precipitation Amounts to .55
- Inches in Omaha; Great
Benefit to Nebraska Pas
tures and Crops.
Omaha, during the 24 hours ending
Friday morning at 7 o'clock, was
drenched with the heaviest rainfall of
the year and every point in Nebraska,
reporting to the local weather bureau,
indicated rain from one-quarter of an
inch, and in several localities even a
great precipitation. Omaha's rainfall
amounted to .55 of an inch.
The rain was of inestimable value
to the state, particularly, most of
which was in need of it for pastures,
which had not started to green in
many places, as well as for the wheat
crop, which despite the rains earlier in
the week, needed the moisture badly
in many localities.
Report Heavy Rainfall.
Tli rain n( ThnrsHav aftrrnnnn anrl

night was general over the east half
of Nebraska and nearly all of iowa,
according to railroad reports. Rail
road reports indicated heavy precipi
tation over the eastern counties and
up the Platte river valley, as far west
as Grand Island. Over this area the
rainfall was from one to two inches.
The heaviest rain reported to the
weather bureau was at Tekamah,
where 1.32 inches was recorded. Co
lumbus was drenched with a rainfall
of 1.30 inches. Other sections of the
state which reported more than a half
inch of rainfall were: Broken Bow,
.54; Fairbury, .70; Hastings, .55;
North Loup, .65; Oakdale, .50, and

Automobile Licenses
In Nebraska Break All
Records, Official Says
More automobile licenses have
been issued by Secretary of State
Poole up to May 1, this year, than
he issued during all of last year, ac
cording to information received
here by the Chamber of Commerce.
The number has already passed
150,000. The total number issued
last year was 148,101. Before the
end of the present year it is ex
pected the total will run up to
175,000
The increase in automobiles m
Nebraska in the last five years is
astounding. In 1913 only 25,617
licenses were issued. The increase,
therefore, is more than 500 per cent
in five years.
