Evangelist Caught With
1 Coat of Many Pockets
George Washington Jones is
Arrested at Pacific Junction
With Twenty-One Pints
of Booze.
George Washington Jones, negro
evangelist, was arrested at Pacific
Junction, la., Saturday by federal
officers, Andy Hansen and S. Knox
of the Omaha department of jus
tice, who caught him with 21 pints
of whisky. Jones had a "coat of
many pockets," the newest thing in
bootlegging garments. There are
10 pockets in the front and 13 in
the back and each pocket will hold
a pint whisky bottle. Two of the
23 pockets were empty when the
federal man made the arrest.
Jones wore a big loose duster over
his bootlegging harness and he
might have passed the federal offi
cers safely if he hadn't become
frightened and attracted attention
by his suspicious actions. When
he saw the men he tried to "duck"
and attempted to jump off the train
whn it was moving.
"Parson Jones" said that he was
going to hold revival meetings ::i
Iowa, but his meetings were de
layed and his, "good cheer" was con
hscaled when the federal men met
him.
He wMl be tried for illegal pos
session of Uq lor.

PLAN FOR
SED PARK
Zimman Scores Towl for
Bringing in "Beauty Doc
tors" for Advice on City
Development.
A vigorous discussion of the de
sirability or undesirability of a pub
lics park on the South Side between
Q arrd S streets, and between Twenty-ninth
and Thirtieth streets, was
carried into citv council Monday by
a delegation of SO South Side resi
dents. After a number of speeches,
council voted the proposition down
by a vote of 4 to 3.
Rev. M. Adam, pastor of the Zion
Lutheran church, and ex-Postmaster
McMillan presented a petition
against the proposed rirk signed
by hundreds of names.
Commissioner Zimman protested
against action by Commissioner
Towl in "bringing in beauty doctors
from St. Louis and elsewhere who
come here in the morning and leave
the same afternoon and then pre
tend to- tell us what to do in regard
to developing our city."
"This property is just across the
street from Armours' and just two
blocks from Swift's fertilizer plant
and is no place for a public park,"
was the opinion of those opposed to
the movement.
Rev. Mr. Adim declared such a
park would just be a congregating
place for undesirable citizens and
have a bad influence on children.
. Would Cost $100,000.
Hans Lemburg asked what the
cost of the property would be and
Commissioner Towl said around
$100,000, which cost would be as
sessed on property owners within a
radius of half a mile.
"Such a tax couldn't be borne by
the homes owners," said Mr. Lem
burg. Mrs. J. H. Dumont, Mrs. Cald
well and Mrs. Bowen of the settle
ment house were there to speak in
favor of the park.
Commissioners Butler, Zimman
and Falconer were in favor of re
ceiving the protest and canceling
further plans for the park.
They pointed to the present exist
ence of Christie park, just six blocks
from the proposed park. ''Let the
children go there and get real fresh
air instead of trying to breath there
in the smell of the packing house
area," they urged.

GAS MAINS ARE
ORDERED TAKEN
FROMSTREETS
City Fears. That in Some Way
the Rights of the Company
Will Be Recognized.
City council has passed an ordi
nance, ordering the Omaha Gas
company to remove its mains and
other paraphernalia from the public
stret -. and alleys of On-.aha. The
ordinance recited that the gas com
pany's franchise expired December
20 and that it has no right to oc
cupy any public property.
Mayor Smith explained that the
ordinance is merely a legal safe
guard of the rights of the city in
the pending gas litigation. It would
be very easy, he said, for the city to
take some action which, in the dev
ious ways of courts of law, would
be construed to give the gas com
pany an extension of franchise.
"Such a thing happened a few
years ago in Denver," he said. "The
water company's franchise expired.
Shortly thereafter the city council
passed an ordinance, fixing the
price of water and containing other
regulatory provisions. When Den
ver tried to condemn the plant the
company held that this ordinance
had recognized the company's right
to use the streets. The court up
held this stand and so did the Unit
ed States supreme court.
Add to the Price.
"And the condemnation board
added $800,000 to the price the city
had to pay for the plant by reason
of that one little regulatory ordi
nance which the council unwittingly
passed."
Commissioner Butler asked what
the city should do if the Omaha Gas
company now proceeds' to raise the
price of gas to $1.50 or more.
"The property owners should
simply refuse to pay it," said the
mayor.
"Then the gas company will shut
off the supply of gas," said Butler.
The mayor said he didn't think
the company would go as far as
that.
"And further, suppose the gas
company obeys this ordinance and
takes up its mains," Butler "sup
posed" some more.
"They won't do that," said the
mayor, "because then they wouldn't
have a going plant to sell the city
but only some old junk, worth very
little."
TWO OMAHA DOYS
KEEP WATCH ON
GERMAN RHINE
Cheering Letters Received by
Relatives of Soldiers Now
With the Army of
Occupation.
Two Omaha boys, Lt. Edward J.
Morey, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. T.
Morey, 2550 Jones street, and Corp.
H. Bird, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charlie
Bird, 307 Bancroft street, fought in
the final battles in the St. Mihiel re
gion and along the Alsation front,
according to late letters received by
the parents of the boys.
Lieutenant Morey is an officer of
the 369th regiment, cited for its part
in the Champagne offensive. This
regiment is commanded by Col. Wil
liam Hayward. Since his arrival in
France, Lieutenant Morey has been
promoted from second to first lieu
tenant. In a letter written to his sis
ter, he said:
"We arrived in this town the same
day the boche left it so they did not
have much of a respite. The Alsa
tians in the Hun army have returned,
but it rather makes your fingers itch
to see some husky still in boche
clothes. Their language is a form of
German, and most of them do not
speak French.
First Watch on Rhine.
"Our regiment held the first
'watch on the Rhine' of any Ameri
can unit. I haven't read an Ameri
can or French newspaper for more
than a week, so I hardly know what
is going on in the outside world.
"Heard that I was cited for being
the only second lieutenant left in the
battalion when it was relieved from
the Champagne offensive. One cap
tain, one first lieutenant' and one
second lieutenant (myself) were the
only-officers who escaped injury or
death. I had a couple of narrow
escapes but came through without a
scratch."
Corporal Bird fought in battles in
the Argonne forest, St. Mihiel re
gion and near Metz, from which he
escaped injury and death, according
to a letter received by his mother
from him. At the present time Cor
poral Bird is in Ambly, France. He
was in the St. Mihiel region when
hostilities ceased.
Busy to the Last.
In a letter to his mother dated
November 11, he wrote: "We quit
firing at 1 o'clock sharp; but we
certainly did shoot a bunch of
shells until that time. When we
fired our last shells we yelled a
toast to the allied armies."
In a later letter Corporal Bird
wrote: "I am in Ambly, France,
between Verdun and St. Mihiel,
where the big battle took place. I
was in the battle near Metz and in
Verdun, along the St. Mihiel front
wh'.n the war ended.
"The battle in the Argonne forest
was a fierce one; the Huns were in
the forest and had concealed many
guns there. We could not get to
them by direct advance, as they
li3il innumenble machine guns, but
we opened on the woods with artil
lery fire and continued to fire for
five days and nights. We made
splinters out of the huge trees.
"St. Miniel was in the hands of
the Huns until about four months
ago, and when we entered the ruined
city wc saw inhabitants who had
been prisoners for four years. They
were certainly glad to be free once
more.
"Now that the war is over most
of the boys are expressing a desire
to return to their homes. I am one
who is 'raring' to get home."
Both Omaha boys are with the
army of occupation, stationed along
the Rhine.

CHAPTER XLII.
The Owner of the Fingers.
Straightway Bobby repented the
alarm he had, perhaps too impul
sively, given For the hand protrud
ing from the wall was, indeed, flesh
and blood, and with the knowledge
came back his fear for Katherine,
conquering his first relief. A sick
revulsion swept .him. He remem
bered the evidence found in Kath
erine's room, and her refusal to an
swer questions. Could Paredes and
the officers have been right? Was it
conceivably her hand struggling
weakly in his grasp?
The door from the corridor
crashed open. Rawlins burst
through. Graham ran after him.
From the private stairway arose the
sound of the district attorney's
hurrying footsteps.
"What is it? What have you got?"
Rawlins shouted.
Gharam cried out:
"You're all right, Bobby?"
The candle which the detective
carried gleamed on the slender fin
gers, showing Bobby that they had
been inserted through an opening in
the wall. He couldn't understand,
for time after time each one of the
panels had been sounded and ex
amined. Beyond, he could see dim
ly the dark clothing of the person
who, with a stealth in itself sug
gestive of abnormal crime had made
use of such a device. As Rawlins
hurried up he wondered if it
wouldnt be the better course to
free his prisoner, to cry out, urging
an escape.
Already it was too late. The de
tective and Graham had seen, and
clearly they had no doubt that he
held the one responsible for two
brutal murders and for the confus
ing mysteries that had capped them.
"Looks like a lady's hand" Raw
lins called. "Don't let go, young
fellow."
He unlocked the door to the pri
vate hallway. Graham and he dashed
oat. In Bobby's uncertain grasp the
hand twitched.
' Robinson's voice reached him
through the opening.
"Let go, Mr. Blackburn. You've
done your share, the Lord knows.
You've caught the beast with the
goods."
Bobby released the slender fin
gers. He saw them vanish through
the opening. He left the bed and re
luctantly approached the door to the
private hall. Excited phrases roared
in his ears. He scarcely dared lis
ten because of their possible con
firmation of his doubt. The fingers,
he repeated to himself, had been too
slender. The moment that had
freed him from fear of his own
guilt has constructed in its place
an uncertainty harder to face. Yet
there was nothing to be gained by
waiting. Sooner or later he must
learn whether Katherine had hidden
the evidence, whether she had used
the stout and deadlly hatpin,
whether she struggled now in the
grasp of vindictive men.
A voice from the corridor arrest
ed him.
"Bobby!"
With a glad cry he swung around
Katherine stood in the opposite
doorway. Her presence there, be
yond a doubt was her exculpation.
He crossed the sombre room. He
grasped her hands. He smiled hap
pily. After all, the hand he had held
was not as slender as hers.
"Thank heavens you're here."
In a word he recited the result of
his vigil.
"It clears you," she said. "Quick!
We must see who it is."
But he lingered, for he wanted
that ugly fear done with once for
all.
"You can tell me now how the evi-i
dence got in your room."
"I canV she said. "I don't know.",
The truth of her reply impressed
him. lie looked at her and won
dered that she should be fally
dressed.
"Why are you dressed?" he asked.
She was puzzled.
"Why not? I don't think any
one had gone to bed."
"But it must be very late. I sup
posed it was the same time half
past two."
She started to cross the room. She
laughed nervously.
"It isn't eleven."
He recalled his interminable an
ticipation among the shadows of
the old room. '
"I've watched there only a little
more than an hour!"
"Not much more than that, Bobby."
"What a coward! I'd have sworn
it was nearly daylight."
She pressed his hand.
"No. Very brave," she whispered.
"Let us see if it was worth it."
They stepped through the door
way. Half way down the hall
Robinson, Graham, and Rawlins held
a fourth, who had ceased ctruggling.
Robby paused, yet, since seeing
Katherine step from the corridor,
his reason had taught him to expect
just this.
The fourth man was Paredes,
nearly effeminate, slender-fingered.
"Carlos" Bobby cried. "You
can't have done these unspeakable
things I"
The Panamanian stared without
answering. Evidently he had had
time to control his chagrin, to
smother his revolt from the future;
for the thin face was bare of emo
tion. The depths of the eyes as
usual turned back scrutiny. The
man disclosed neither guilt nor the
outrage of an assumed innocence;
neither confession nor denial. He
simply stared, straining a trifle
against the eager hands of his cap
tors. Rawlins grinned joyously.
"You ought to have, a medal for
getting away with this, young fellow.
Things didn't look so happy for you
an hour or so aog,"
"And I had half a mind," Robin
son confessed,, "to refuse you the
chance. Glad I didn't. Glad as I
can be you made good."
With the egotism any man is like
ly to draw from his efforts in the de
tection of crime he added easily:
"Of course, I've suspected .this
spigotty all along. I don't have to
remind you of that."
"Sure," Rawlins said. "And d:dn't
I put it up to him strong enough to
inght?" Paredes laughed lightly.
"All credit where it is due. You
also put it up to Miss Perrine."
"The details will straighten all
that out," Robinson said. "I don't
pretend to have them yet."
"I gather not," Paredes mused,
"with old Blackburn's ghost still in
the offing."
"That talk," Rawlins said, "won't
go down from you any more. I
daresay you've got most of the de
tails in your head."
"I daresay," Taredes answered
dryly.
He fought farther back against the
detaining hands.
"Is there any necessity for this
exhibition of brute strength? You
must find it very exhausting. You
may think me dangerous, and I
thank you; but I have no gun, and
I'm no match for four men and a
woman. Besides you hurt my arm.
Bobby was none too tender with
that. I ought to have used my good
arm. You'll get no details from me
unless you take your hands off."
