1 ' ( . '9 m i " THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 1919 - - - -- 1 1 ' . REALTORS 0, K. MAYOR'S PLAN F0RE1AIET Real Estate Board Defers Ac , tion on Proposed New Auditorium and Public Library. Mayor Smith's plan for a mu nicipal market, presented by the city's executive to the Real Estate board at their meeting in the Cljamber 'of Commerce yesterday, received praciically unanimous en dorsement. The may r also intro duced his plans for th public li brary and the Auditorium as a memorial to Omaha soldiers and siilors who lost their lives in the war. After the mayor had addressed the meeting the real estate men en tered into a general discussion as tj whether the plan should be en- ' dorsed. Some opposed certain de tails of the plan, particularly the , abolishing of the present market at Eleventh and Jackson st .is, while DivIJ Cole opposed it from the standpoint of its CTipe !n with the retail grocer. F. D. Wead, who put the motion that the plan be endorsed; Byron R. Hastings, Ernest Sweet and several others favo:. I the plan, and .vrhe i the mo tion was f...ally put to a vote tlure were no dissc ting votess cast. Want Time to Think. No final action was taken y tl. real Restate men on the I.Urary proposition at the meet'.g yester day, the mayor telling them that ' preferred that they take time to think the proposition over. He said that he would later submit a more concrete pla nd then v. -al.1 i glad t have . . exprci.'... them. " In explaining the proposed city market, Mayor Smith said he had thoroughly investigated the market at Oes Moines, and while in that city was surprised at the number of people taking advantage of the op portunity to buy garden produce direct from the producer in small Quantities. He went into a general discussion of the plans of the build ing1, and said the cost would be about $10,000. The location at Fifteenth and Davenport streets is in his opinion accessible to more people of moderate means in Omaha than any other location. "I think we will all agree that one oi the greatest problems of the day is that of foodstuff," he said; '"and we must do something to get ths producer and the consumer face to , face, and cut out the! profit Mf,th middle men as far as possible." 'He explained he did not mean to doany harm to the retail grocer, but he did not believe that the people, who are willing to take their baskets and go to market and get their produce there, should pay the prices that people do sitting at home and hav ing their groceries delivered. He spoke of the number of poor peo ple living in the district tributary to this proposed market, and said: 'That is the class of people Omaha has got to take care of, and Jny idea is to establish this market house near them, so they can buy their produce in small quantities at right prices. I know we will have the opposition of the retail grocers as a protest has been filed with the city commission. We will have the opposition of the peddlers, and we already havs the opposition of the commission men, but the laboring people, and several women's clubs are for the market, as it has been proposed. Would Encourage Thrift The mayor sail the market would ajso encourage the boys to raise Harden produce, giving them a place to market their crops by setting Who In Hell Stopped the War for 2 Solid Hours?

City Commissioner Towle also spoke for the market, claiming it would increase the amount of prod uce on the acres of unused land in the suburbs of the city. Library Called Inadequate. . Referring to the plan for a new library and auditorium plans, Mayor Smith said the present library was inadequate even as a library, and provided no space for art exhibits or a museum. lie said the city should have an auditorium seating 2,500 people, as the Municipal auditorium was far too large for the many small gatherings hat meet there. "If you don't think so," he said, "just try once to get up and speak to 2,000 people in a building large enough to hold 8,000." - Already the mayor has written General Harries and Major Mahei in France asking them to send to Nebraska trophies captured by the Nebraska boys in France, "and when these things come we don't want them to lay out doors," he added.

'.'When you were told by platform Speakers and editorial writers that we were not fighting the German people, buf that our differenence was with the kaiser, you were listening to something that is untrue. The German soldier is the lowest and most brutal individual in the world." Lying on his cot in the Union depot, bound in a plaster paris cast from his hips down, and escorted by two medical attendants from Fort Snelling, Minn., William Harkins, 20, . enroute to the United States general hospital in Denver, was speaking of his six months' exper ience fighting the Huns in France. Young Harkins is suffering from tu berculosis of the bone as a result of shell shock sustained in battle August 3 near Vesle river. . . Phy sicians say he cannot recover. . Depraved to One Man. "I have seen these Germans on the firing line, I have seen them in captivity and have interested myself to study their mental attitude," said young Harkins.. in my opinion the Germans are repraved almost to a man. They are perfect beasts, and all of the mean things thatt have been said about the kaiser are in- inadeouate -to describe the unprin cipled and cowardly German soldier "We were lighting .the Uermau people, who should be made to suffer, punishment as great as that which will be inflicted on the kaiser." A Wisconsin Boy. Harkins. who was a member of Company G., 128th infantry, Thirty second division, enlisted May 8, 191"; at Hiles, Wis.; the home of his par ents. He suffered a severe shell shock which shattered -the bone in his right hig and leg. He has been undergoing treatment for his injury at Fort bnelhng." The surgeons there are said to have lost hope for his recovery, and ordered him sent to Denver in the belief the climatic conditions there will prove of benefit to him. Harkins was injured while assisting in carrying the dead and wounded from the battlefield. Lieut Clarence Noble of Harkins company, was helping him carry a wounded soldier to the rear. The shell struck in the center of the stretcher, killing Lieut Nobel instantly. - and the wounded. soldier.. who occupied the stretcher. Freed Roosevelt's Grave. Harkins' company -was among the roops which captured the cemetery in which Quenton Roosevelt was buried at Chemery. France. "We camped in the cemetery six nights," ne said. I he grave had been marked by. the Germans with' a simple board bearing the name of Quentin Roosevelt. We fenced it off with wire, and some French sol diers got the best stone they could, wrote the date and manner of death, with the name of the occupant of the grave and several inscriptions pay-. mg inoute io me memory ot the daring aviator who lost. his life fighting, the enemy of their country. French women literally covered the mound with, flowers, which they re place each day with fresh blossoms, Harkins said. ' Police Resist Effort of Juvenile Officer to Hold Young Flynn Police and juvenile atitti clashed yesterday over the disposi tion of R. W.

CaptvJohn Briggs, chief of de tectives, refuser! tn errant thm rnnt of Probation Officer Vosburg of the juvenne court that the charges against Flynn be quashed. Mr. vosDurg in his interview with the detective chief said young Flynn was an escaped inmate of the Kearney reformatory and insisted that Flynn should be returned there. "It only means that he will be out again in a short time doing the same thing over again," said Captain Briggs after refusing the probation officer's demand. Other police officers have accused Vosburg of releasing youths arrest ed by them. One said the probation officer had turned the lads loose immediately after they had been remanded to his custody.
