ASK REPORTS ON
POLICE CARE OF
ARHYCHAPLAIN
City Council Demands Inquiry
v into, Treatment Given
? ' 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. Rev. Father Roach is in a
critical condition at St. Joseph hos
l pital.
" The priest was returning tiis pas
. torate in l'eoria, III., from Camp
r Logan. Houston, Tex., where he had
if been a chaplain in the army.
V Officers on the day shift at cen-
tral police station entered vigor

; had been allowed to rcniaili in a cell
y, 1J hours without medical attention,
f: Dr. Kdstroni. the police surgeon,
I called by Sergeant Rose, said: "I
!, was not able to say positively
whether the man was suffering from
. paralysis. I left after telling the
officers to call me if he did not be
'coiiie normal in a few hours."
i Dr. B. M. Riley, who is attending
V the priest, says the man is suffering

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

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

a hasty exit in four different direc
tions but their dodging and scramb
ling through crowded aisles was of
no avail. The boys, named Frank
Mrcurio. 2210 Pierce street; Feno
CuiIIa, 2216 Pierce street; Alfred
Incontro, 1008 South Twentieth
street.vand Julius Digilio, 1032 South
Twentv-third street, were sent to
the police station.
"Gee whiz. I jus' wanted a ring
fer me goil,' one of the youthful
lads told Prohibition Officer Vos
berg. "Keah, an' I'm a gom ter wear
stiff collars perty soon," spoke an
other. The parents of the boys called at
the station for the boys.

J. M. 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.

A Few Re-NEW-ed
Cadillacs Left.
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.
