WHITE GIRL SAYS
NEGRO JOLD DOPE
Testifies in Federal Trial of
Johnny Moore, Alleged
Leader of Ganr, of
Morphine Dealers!
Trial of Johnny Moore, negro,
alleged leader of a gang of "dope"
dealers, was begun in federal court
Monday afternoon.
Clyde Lake, agent in the Depart
ment of Justice, testified that he
bought cocaine and morphine from
Moore and that, on one occasion, he
paid him a marked $1 bill, which was
later found in Moore's possession.
Anna Moore, a white girl, former
maid at the Neville Hotel, who had
been a dope user, testified that
she had purchased morphine from
Johnny at his "place," 221 North
Thirteenth street. She lowered her
voice as she testified about going to
the negro's place and of the amount
of morphine which she used. But
she raised her head and smiled at the
prosecuting attorney when she told
him she hadn't "touched it since last
January." 1
In answer to the prosecuting at
torney's question, asked with sar
casm, "How did you get cured?" the
witness smiled wisely and explained,
naively, "By letting it alone."
The trial will be continued Tuesday.
Prosecutors contend that Moore has
been the head of extensive traffic in
dope. At the time of his arrest
about $800 worth of drugs was found
in his room. , ,
City Ticket Offices May Be
Consolidated This Week
The consolidation of the railroad
city ticket offices is coming soon.
Chairman Wakeley of the local com
mittee asserts that the first move in
that direction is likely to occur this
week, when a location for the consoli
dated office will be announced.
Where the consolidated ticket of
fice will be located is not known.
However, it is reasonably certain that
it will not be in any of the rooms now
occupied by the individual roads. In
the windows of all these offices, "For
Rent" signs have been hung and thd
quarters are available for other lines
of business.
There is a belief that the consoli
dated office will go into the Union
Pacific headquarters, but Chairman
Wakeley asserts that this location has
not been decided upon.

JAILER CORCORAN
AT SOUTH OMAHA
TELLS OF TROUBLES
,- f
Troubles Had Cost Him Five
Hundred Dollars
Praises Tanlac.
"It certainly seems remarkable that
three bottles of this Tanlac should do
me more good than other treatment
and medicines that have cost me all
of five hundred dollars, but, it has
and I am glad of this opportunity to
tell the public about it. "
The above statement was made re
cently by Michael Corcoran, who re
sides at 2416 F street Mr. Corcoran
has lived in Omaha for twenty-eight
years, half of which time fourteen
years he has held his present posi
tion as jailer in South Omaha. He is
also well known in fraternal order
circles and it is, indeed, doubtful if
there is a more genial and better
liked man in this city.
"I have suffered," he continued,
"with stomach trouble, kidney and
bladder disorders and other compli
cations until I lost forty-eisht pounds
in weight. I couldn;t eat without it
hurting me and had to diet myself
for a long time, living mostly on the
very lightest of foods. I could eat
no meats at all. I had a great deal
of pain in the region of my kidneys
and suffered considerably with rheu
matism in both shoulders. For years
had bad headaches and, in fact, I
never did know exactly what all was
the matter with me. I spent ten
weeks in the hospital and, as I said,
paid out five hundred dollars trying
to get my troubles corrected; but
nothing did me as much good as Tan
lac has.
"I was feeling so badly that I was
willing to' try anything there was a
chance of dying me any good, and
seeing Tanlac so highly recommended
I decided t give it a trial. Well, the
results so far have certainly been
fine. I have already gotten back fif
teen pounds of my lost weight and
feel like a new man compared to the
way I felt before I began taking it.
My appetite got so big soon after I
started on Tanlac that I was afraid I
would hurt myself eating, but every
thing seemed to agree with me and I
felt no bad effects from it tyy kid
neys and bladder are in pretty good
shape, now and the rheumatic trouble
is gone, too. My head don't ache any
more and I sleep better than I have
in a long time. I have so much faith
in Tanlac that I got a bottle for my
sister-in-law, 'who was in need of
something to build her up, and now
she's improving right along and
thinks just like I do, that it's great
medicine."
"Tanlac is sold in Omaha by Sher

Agitation Bubbling "
In Court House For
Increased Salaries
With the -expected resignation of
four clerks in, different departments
at the county court house, because
of higher salaries paid in . business
lines, the agitation for increased sal
aries for county employes has reach
ed an acute stage. Many of the
county departments are running short
of help because clerks have left to
enter military service or to secufle
better positions elsewhere.
Clerks in the office of the clerk of
the district court say they are work
ing as much as' 20 hours a week over
time to take care of the county's
increased business, and to do the work
usually done by employes who have
left.
Difficulty is found in filling some
of these vacant positions because of
the low salaries paid, some of them
paying only $50 a month. On the
other hand, in some of the othe' de
partments, the lowest salaries are $90.
The county commissioners have
been petitioned by County Treasurer
Endres -and County Clerk Dewey to
take up the matter of increases for
subordinate clerks, but up to date
nothing has been done. It was said
at the office of the county commis
sioners Monday morning that the
commissioners would probably take
up the matter at their meeting next
Wednesday. .
