POLICE COURT
JUDGES UNDER
FIRE OF MAYOR
. f ' v " ' ' ' '
Smith Says Governor- Con
templated Filing Ouster
. . Charges Against Omaha
- Majistratesr
Oar police court judges are too
lenient with the bootleggers. If
- these judges are going to take the
side of the bootleggers, then the peo
ple should know it and the people
v -will take care of the judges." Mayor
Smith. " ,
He added: "1 don't want to be too
- harsh with our courts, but I feel that
we will not get relief until we have
another election.
The mayor was outspoken in nil
views of the situation as to the appre
hension and prosecution of violators
of, the liquor laws. He insisted that
there is hearty co-operation between
.city, state and federal officials in the
arrest and prosecution of bootleggers,
but that there is need ot tightening
up at the point of contact with the
police court . 1 vf. ; " "
' Authority for Statements.
1 wish to hare these statement as
coining from myself and the superin
tendent of police, .because we are
working together in this matter," the
mayor continued. -
' "As mayor of the city I am respon
sible with others, in seeing that the
liquor laws are enforced and we can
not obtain the desired results if wt
do not have co-operation of the police
judges. 1 am satisfied that the police
department is doing the best ft can
and so are the prosecutors, but I am
not satisfied with the attitude of the
police judges." " . '
-The mayor referred In particular to
one recent instance, that of Edward
V-. ' - . 1- - . .1 -... . -J ,L.
? ' . 5 Provisions of Law. ;
-"Suppose)" he continued, "that 'the
police should ' find 20 gallons of
whisky in my garage. Do you think
I' should be found innocent when the
a. r a i i . - a
law spectncaiiy proviaes war nquor
found in daces other than a private
residence are in violation of the pro
hibitory law?"
During a recent visit to Omaha
Governor Neville stated that he was
thinking of filing ouster charges
against the' Omaha police judges, but
was prevailed upon to defer that ac
action until further developments. '
?You may also-State that my office,
in ' conjunction with the superinten
dent of police," are keeping a history
of every liquor case from the time 'Of
arrest until final action in the courts,
and we are going to be prepared to
make a showing of cases which we be
lieve hate been dismissed and where
we believe -the evidence v. warranted
conviction. It seems that a bootleg
ger must almost plead guilty in 1,he
police ourt to be. found guilty."

CADDOCK WINS
LEWIS MATCH ON
POINTJECISION
Referee Declares He Is Better
Man, 105 to 35, After Two
and Half Hours' Contest
at Des Moines.
By F. S. HUNTER.
Des Moines, June 21 (Special
Telegram.) Earl Caddock retained
his title of wrestling champion of the
world by defeating Ed ("Strangler")
Lewis here tonight when Referee Ed
W. Smith gave him a decision at the
culmination of 2 hours and 30-minutes
of faultless wrestling.
.The superior generalship, speed and
science of the champion gave him the
decision. He clearly outpointed his
heavier and stronger opponent.
The decision was obvious almost
from the start, as Lewis never had a
chance. Four times Caddoclc, threat
ened Lewis with mortal danger.
Early in the bout by an eye deceiving
shift he clamped his celebrated head
scissors on Lewis and the Strangler
barely wiggled free, before his shoul
ders touched the mat
Breaks toe Holds.
Twice Caddock obtained a deadly
toe hold upon Lewis. Both times
the Strangler writhed in pain as Earl
applied the pressure, but each time, by
a mighty effort Lewis gained . his
freedom. i
.Then sgain, while both wrestlers
were on their feet, Caddock got a
double wrist lock, and that, too,
threatened destruction to Lewis until
the Strangler's' wonderful strength
broke it -V' , '?'
Not once did Lewis threaten and
only once did he clamp his famous
head hold. Then ; Caddock worked
free with seeming ease.
The .head hold as far as tonight's
match was concerned was just what
Omaha fans have always believed it
mere camouflage. The match was fast
and furious and inclined to be rough.
Lewis, contrary to expectations, was
willing to mix ft and some rough-and-tumble
romps were staged.
Also the Strangler had a tendency
to rough Caddock. The champion
wasted no time in retaliating each
time the Strangler got frisky. The
result was some rough but nifty
wrestling.
More than 10,000 fans saws the
match and the decision was popular.
More than 100 Omaha fans were at
the ringside.

French Better Their Positions.
Except for the Italian theater little
fighting is in progress. Southwest of
Soissons, near Favrolles, and a little
farther south, near Hautvesnes, the
French in more of their daily attacks
have bettered their positions and tak
en prisoners from the Germans. In
the regions of Arras and Albert the
British likewise have made gains and
also repulsed German attacks near
Merris, on the Flanders front
The German official communication
records the repulse of. an American
attack northwest of Chateau Thierry
in the Marne region, and asserts that
the Americans suffered heavy losses
This probably refers to the fighting
of Thursday Jn the Belleau wood
where the Americans advanced their
lines more than half, a mile after the
enemy had refused to accent the sasre
of battle. '
