OAD BUILDING
PLAN DISCUSSED
BY COUNTY BOARD
Representatives of Chamber of
Commerce, Auto Club and
Other Bodies Confer
With Officials.
Discussion of the proposed plans for
road building in Douglas county was
indulged in at some length Friday
morning at a meeting of county com'
missioners and representatives of the
Omaha Chamber of Commerce, Auto
mobile club, Rotary club. Manufactur
ers' association and other commercial
.bodies.
No definite course of action was de
cided upon, the final decision being
laid over until the regular meeting
Saturday morning.
W. B. Cheek, speaking for the com
mercial organizations conferring with
the county commissioners, offered to
compromise and consent to the Center
Itreet project provided the committee's
plan was accepted in its entirety
otherwise.
Jake Sass of Sarpy county, advo
cated the building of Douglas county
roads as near the southern border as
possible, but the feasibility of Sarpy
county connecting with the roads in
whatever part of the state they may
be located was given as reason enough
for there being located in a more
central region.
C. E. Childe, manager of the traffic
bureau of the Chamber of Commerce,
Etated that all railroads are going to
ask for an increase in local freight
rates and that in 'all probablity there
will be some legislation soon to elimi
: nate the handling of less than carload
lots by the various roads. This, ac
cording to Mr. Childe. makes it im
perative that the new roads be com
pleted and maintained in a state ot
good repair to permit the marketing
of farm prodUSts.
A resolution was offered by Com
missioner McDonald proposing the
acceptance of the committee's plan
with the exception of the Dundee
project, but the motion fell through
; without a second.
.Eight Postoffice Inspectors
Complete Their Errand Here
Eight postoffice inspectors out of
the Kansas City division finished the
annual inspection Friday of all de
partments in the Omaha postal build
ing. Joe P. Johnston, inspector in
charge of the Kansas City district, in
which the Omaha postoffice is in
cluded, was present during the last
- day's check. The report of these in
spectors is made first to the chief of
the district, who, in turn, submits
the findings to the chief inspector of
the United State in Washington. The
reports are strictly confidential, not
even the local authorities knowing
thecontents.
OFFICERS IN RAID
ON OMAHA I. W. W.
Headquarters of Organization
in City Surrounded by Offi
cers and Number of Ar
rests Made.
Detectives late Friday raided head
quarters of the Industrial Workers of
the World, 1301 Douglas street, ar
rested 16 men and seized a quantity
of pamphlets and literature as evi
dence.
Two men, who made their escape
when the detectives swarmed into the
building, later were captured at Doug
las and Fourteenth streets.
The raid came like a bolt from
the bhie. Chief of Detectives Murphy
gave orders at 2:30 o'clock in the
afternoon for a quiet mobilization of
every detective in the police depart
ment. Every Door Guarded,
Every door of the building where
the Omaha Industrial Workers of the
World hold their meetings was guard
ed by a plain clothes man before de
tectives closed in.
Charges of sedition in obstructing
the general plans of the government
will be placed against "the prisoners,
Murphy stated.
He had the men booked for in
vestigation after they had attested
their membership in the Industrial
Workers of the World organization.
,The men were holding a business
meeting when the authorities pounced
down upon them.
The local Industrial Workers of the
World branch is located in the sec
ond story and detectives drove the
men to the street in single file.
The same place was raided last Sep
tember and more than SO members
of the organization were arrested and
given jail sentences.
Several Wear Buttons.
Several of those arrested wore but
tons indicating membership in the
Industrial Workers of the World or
ganization. Upon the face of the but
tons is pictured an Industrial Work
er ot the World behind bars.
"We're in for you; you're out for
us," is lettered on the badge.
Detectives say a charge of dis
loyalty will be made against Frank
Jewell, Twelfth and Dodge streets, al
leged Industrial Worker of the World
agitator, who was arrested upon ad
vice from Sergeant R. Trammel of the
local recruiting, station. Sergeant
Trammel declared Jewell attempted to
restrain two young men from enlist
ing in the navy.
Admits Discouraging Youths.
"Sure I tried to keep them from
joining the navy," Jewell commented.
According to recruiting officers,
Jewell said that he "would servo 10
years in the penitentiary before any
one would force him into the army."
Federal authorities will file charges
against Jewell.
Those arrested gave their names as
R. E. Massey, Council Bluffs; John
Rissman, 612 North Seventeenth
street; W. Flogle, Davenport hotel;
James Casper, Davenport hotel; J.
Hazelwood, Fourteenth and Douglas;
L. M. Ward, Council Bluffs; Harry

Charles Simmons, 1122 Dodge; George
Aldridge, 619 North Nineteenth; Os

Jewell, Twelfth and Dodge streets.
Gould Dietz Celebrates His
Birthday With Dinner Party
Gould Dietz celebrated his 50th
birthday with a dinner party at his
home Friday evening when the Ak-Sar-Ben
board of governors were his
guests. After a presentation speech
by C. E. Black, money literally rained
on the honor guest amounting to $50
in new quarters. It was not a birth
day gift, however, for Frank Judson
and Everett Buckingham, who were
in the party, explained that the shin
mcr auarters would
the coffers of the Red Cross.
Dr. B. 2. Mosinsolm to Lecture
At Israel Synagogue Sunday
Dr. Ben Zion Mosinsolm. re
nowned writer and lecturer, will make
an address at B'Nai Israel synagogue,
Eighteenth and Chicago street next
sunaay nignt. tie is touring thi coun
try on behalf of the Federation of
American Zionists. He will present
the attitude of the Jewish people
toward Palestine.
Lake View Park Opans Sunday.
Lovers of fun, music and dancing
should not miss the opening of Lake
view park, which is scheduled to take
place Sunday. Carl Lamp needs no
introduction, but it may be interesting
to know that his role of leader of the
Lakeview jazz band is a happy one
and as the director of the dance
palace harmonists affords a legitimate
and consistent reason for hi rfailv
appearance at this mammoth garden.
WT I . ..
mt. iamp s appearance on the plat
form is usually the cause of an out
burst of applause.
3 JUDGES NAMED
TO APPRAISE GAS
PLANT IN OMAHA
The Nebraska supreme court in
Lincoln Friday named the three
judges who will appraise the Omaha
gas plant to be taken over by the city
under special act of the legislature.
The board of appraisers include:
Judge George A. Day, Omaha. Fourth
judicial district; Judge W. V. Allen
Madison, Ninth judicial district, and
Judge E. E. Good, Wahoo, Fifth
judicial district.
The Bee predicted it would be
either Judge Day or Judge Troup
of the equity bench.
Under the special act, these men
will meet and agree what the pur
chase price of the plant shall be.
'Judge Allen formerly was United
States senator from Nebraska.
The clerk of the supreme court by
mistake yesterday afternoon gave out
the name of Judge J. R. Hanna
Eleventh judicial district, instead of
Judge Good. The mistake was not
discovered until after the Bee had
printed the name of Judge Hanna.
