' Man Brought to Station III.- VI1 desk officers at the police sta tion have been ordered to make out reports concerning their actions in the case of Rev. Jeremiah Roach, honorably discharged army chap Iain, a paralytic, who was kept in a cell all day Tuesday on a charge of drunkenness. .The city council passed a resolu tion, introduced by Mayor Smith, demanding an investigation of the arrtst.

Foresees Period of Extreme Profiteering in Meat Values Stockmen's Counsel Predicts "Prices Will Bump Ceiling" UKJess Government Curbs Monopoly. Washington, Jan. 9. An era of extreme profiteering in meat prices after the food administration ceases to unction, unless control of private cars, stock yards and terminals and refrigerator plants is taken from the packers, was predicted today by Walter L. Fisher, counsel for the marketing committee of the Ameri can Live Stock association and former secretary of the interior. Mr. Fisher was testifying before the senate interstate commerce commit tee at hearings on the pending bill providing for government of these marketing facilities. The witness declared that "prices will bump the ceiling," and at the same time there would be danger of diminution of production if the gov ernment took no action to curh what he described as a practical mo nopoly maintained by the five lead ing packers. Stock raisers, he said, would hasten to sell even breeding animals to get a share of the tem porary high prices which the pack ers, would force, and thereby produc tion of new animals would decrease. Mr. Fisher urged that the stock cars, refrigerator cars, stock yards and terminal refrigerator plants be taken over by the railroads, rather than by. the government for per manent operation. as a means of promoting "real competition" among the packers. If this failed, he would try government licensing of packers, and would advocate government ownership of packing plants only as a last resort. "If something ap proaching genuine competition" is developed among the pAkers, said Mr. Fisher, stock growers imme diately would begin to increase their output. The house commerce committee today heard Edward Burks, repre sentative of the American National Live Stock association on behalf of a similar bill before the house, r Two Are Fined for Illegal Possession of Intoxicants Fred Goetr, on trial in county c6urt on two charges, illegal pos session and transportation of liquor, was dismissed on the first charge.

Five-quart bottles, samples of each of five barrels of the liquor in volved, were offered in evidence. A deputy from Sheriff Clark's office took charge of the evidence, after the trial.

Complete directions on each 10 cent box Glare of Jewelry in Ten-Cent Store Proves Too Strong for Boys The glare of ten-cent rings and four-for-a-nickel collar buttons proved too tempting to four 11 -year-old pupils of Mason school Thurs day afternoon. When caught taking the articles from a counter or Wool worth's ten-cent store, they made a hasty exit in four different direc tions but their dodging and scramb ling through crowded aisles was of no avail.

MARTIN, Asa't Mgr. mHE music department of the I Omaha Woman's chib welcomed another large audience last evening to the second of their in teresting series of concerts, by local artists, and the Y. W.'C. A. auditor ium resounded with the enthusiastic applause evoked. The Omaha musicians presented last evening were Mrs. A. I. Root, contralto. Miss Lmily Cleve, violin ist, and Mr. MartinBush, pianist. All three are well known to those, of us who are devotees of music and the excellence of their individual work has been often commented upon in these columns. They well fulfilled anticipations last evening, and the program presented brought many delightful excerpts of musical literature to a hearing. The program opened with the "Largo" by Handel, given as a con certed number, contralto solo, by Mrs. Root, with Mr. Bush at the piano and violin obligato by Miss Clevc. Mr. Bush contributed two groups of piano numbers, with his usual musicianship and finish. Much beauty of tone and brilliant chord and passage work were to be found in bis selections, "Allegro dc Con cert" by Chopin being an especially interesting number. After, the Pabst variations on themes from the opera "Eugene Oneguine" by Tschai- kowsky, an attractive encore was given. Miss Cleve afforded great pleasure in her two groups of violin numbers. Starting with "Ave Maria" by Schu-bert-Wilhelmy. in which a lovely broad-tone quality was evident. Miss Cleve contrasted a "Spanish Sere made" by Chaminade-Kreisler. and a very charming "Berceuse" by Pil zer, and closed her first group with the brilliant and dashing "Rondo Capriccios" by Saint-Saens. This big number with its many whims and veritable showers of tonal exuber ance gave Miss Cleve use for her ex cellent technical equipment, and won for her an insistent demand for an encore, graciously conceded. Her second group contained, among oth ers, an especially attractive theme and variations by Tartini-Kreislcr, and tlie "Dance of the Gnomes" by Bazzini, an elfin whirlwind of violin istic virtuosity. Mrs. A. I. Root quite outdid her self in her part of the program. Her beautiful voice seemed at all times entirely at her command. The art with which she clothes the many moods of her songs seems to grow with her successive appearances. In her second group especially she did some of the finest public work we have ever heard her do, which is saying much, as she is always artis tic. "Countess in Thy Dancing," a charming waltz song by Gaston Le marie, was such an instant favorite it was repeated, and the "Invocation to Eros" was given with an intensity tf feeling which carried the audience with it, and which tricked the mind away from all thoughts of time and place. Encores were also presented bv Mrs. Root. V 'Miss Eleanor Rentz. who ac companied Mrs. Root, was delight fully in accord both in mood and music, and Miss Margarte Liljert stolpe furnished similar pianistic background for Miss Cleve. A word of thanks is also deserved by the Music department for furnishing the most artistic background for a concert, which we have yet seen in Omaha. H. M. R.

There is only one Cadillac In a used Cadillac you can get the real Cadillac advantages and exclusive Cadillac fea tures for an amount of money which makes the investment unusually attrac- tive. There is practically no wear-out to the mechanism of a Cadillac car. It is sub- stantial and secure in the first place, and the adjustments provided are more than probably will ever be needed. When a Cadillac has been thoroughly reconstructed, repainted and furnished with a new top, what more could be said about its value? ft - Another important point: We guaran tee our reNEWed Cadillacs. Should you not know of our responsibility our standing look us up. Ask any finan cial agency or the Omaha National Bank. Inspect these reNEWed Cadillacs. You will find both the condition andprice entirely satisfactory. We still have very unusual bargains in miscellaneous makes and our Used Car Sale has been extended a couple of days due to the stormy weather at the time it was opened. Jones-Hansen-Cadillac Co.
