CITY COUNCIL
DECIDES TO KEEP
GETEflTIOnilOLiE
Mayor Smith Roundly Scores
Proposition, Brit Commis
sioners Favor Continuing
Project During War. .
The Women's Detent:on hospitat
was roundly scored by Mayor Smith
and other city commissioners at
council meeting yesterday during
iNcussion of a resolution by Com
hi'ssioner Ringer asking that he "be
directed to continue the present
work as part of the police depart
ment until the declaration of peace
si;d that the fight against venereal
d sease be continued after the con
cl'ivon of peace by providing treat
nv'r.t for men nd women who have
p-ior thereto been convicted of
prostitution or vagrancy."
"If this resolution," declared the
mayor in his most positive Jone,
"iibks that the work be continued as
it has been carried on and is being
carried on in the Woman's Deten
ti ,n hospital, then I want to record
a very emphatic no to this resolu
tion. It has been all wrong."
"We haven't discovered in Oma
ha the sovereign cure for the social
evil which has scourged the world
from the beginning," declared Com
missioner Ure. "There is an idea out
among the people that we have."
"Yes, and we are beinfr adver
tised all over the country in a very
undesirable manner," declared the
mayor, "I hoped we'd have a cam
paign to drive all the prostitutes
out of Omaha. Instead, we are be
ing advertised as a grand place in a
manner that will bring prostitutes
here from disease-stricken cities
elsewhere."
' Mr. Ringer's " resolution was
adopted by a vote of 4 to 3.

THOTU 'VUVY- OFFERINQJ- FOIC'TODAY'
WILLIAM FARNUM. in one
of his western characteriza
tion, will appear at the Sun
today and for the remainder of this
week in ."For Freedom," the first
play in which this popular screen
idol has been seen that had a touch
cf the great war in it Farnum is
his own big cowboy self and por
trays the part of a real westerner
with a real American heart. Noth
ing is too hard for him to overcome
in his battle for the right. The play
is one that fits Farnum well and one
in which he makes an ideal sort of
hero. And of course there's one of
Bill Farnum's own special brand of
fistic battles in it.
Mae Murray in "Danger, Go
Stow" in which she appears at the
Muse today and Thursday takes the
character of a boy throughout a
great part of the picture, and she
makes a lively specimen of an Amer
ican youth. The story is a strong
melodramatic one and one which
would tax any star's ability to carry
the part but Miss Murray goes
through it in a rapid fire manner
that injects a certa:n amount of ac
tion into the part that brings it up
aa an especially fine piec of work.
This is the first appearance of Miss
luurray for some time and she will
be welcomed back to her many
friends. The plot of the story car
ries her from a quiet little home in
a small town into the varied life of
a trouping company but the nimble
with of the heroine, backed up with
a strong bluff from the supposed
boy. brings all out happily in the
end. r
"The Talk of the Town,?' a special
photo play production, opens a four
day engagement at the Brandeis
theater this afternoon. Dorothy
Phillips haslthe role of a girl, too
cloistered by misguided guardians
in early youth. She marries in order
to see the world, and delights in
peering into Bohemia's gilded pool.
She quivers on the brink, how
ever, and is about to topple into its
murky waters, when but it would
spoil your enjoyment of this master
photodrama to tell you the peculiar
twist at the finish.
Pastoral simplicity of the kind that
approaches grandeur is the inspiring

South Side
BOLSHEVIKI
OUTRUN ARMIES
SAYS OMAHA LAD
South Side Boy Tells of Ex
periences in Russia; Makes
Long Journey Through
Hostile Country.
Carl A. Homan of the American
Expeditionary force in Siberia,
formerly of 4409 South Nineteenth
street, one of the few Omaha boys
who have been sent to Russia to
battle the bolshevik faction, will
have some stirring tales, to tell when
he returns, if his most recent letter
to his parents is a fair sample.
Lieutenant Homan is stationed at
Spasske, Siberia.
"The bolsheviki have run so fast
that we couldn't keep up with them,"
he writes. "I remember once when
we thought we were right on top
of them, and were ready to let them
have it. But to our surprise they
were 80 miles away.
"Shortly after I was commission
ed I was ordered out to get a com
munication through to the base oc
cupied by the bolsheviki. A corporal
and I started out working and trav
eling for six days and nights to
reach the place. We were carrying
packs weighing 65 pounds, which
among other things, included a tele
phone and buzzer. The route we
took was all through hostile coun
try, but all we had to do was watch
every one out of the corner of our
eye.'
"Perhaps you read of the battle of
Ussurii. I was there, and it was
certainry the largest and worst bat
tle of all. It occured about 90 miles
north of Spasske. After the battle,
I was sent with 25 men to take
charge of a town named Serjguna."
Lieutenant Homan goes on to tell
how, with six men he routed a band
of bolsheviki from a mill near Serj
guna; how, in Vladivostok . he at
tempted to raid a place with two
men, and was forced to hold off 40
bolshevik until aid arrived; and
how. after spending 18 months in
foreign countries, he longs to re
turn to his loved ones at home.
French War Orphans
Write to Godparents
Who Adopted Them
Omahans who have "adopted"
French war orphans are receiving
quaiit little messages of thanks from
the children of France. Written in
a neat "continental" hand, these little
messages convey a heartfelt gratitude
and love which is more than suffi
tiint reward for their American
"godparents."
Here is a translated letter re
ceived recently by Gene Melady, of
the Melady Commission company
written by' a little French maia.
"Deaf Godfather: I wish to take
advantage at being at the home of
my grandmother to send you a long
letter, although my mama has al
ready written you three letters. In
her last letter she sent you my
photograph, and I think you will
be as happy to receive it as your
iittle boy and his -good mama.
Dear godfather, I would like very
much to see your little boy's photo
graph, in fact, I will be as happy to
see it as will my mama and two little
sisters. ' .,
Dear godfather", I want also to
thank you very much for youf kind
nesses that you have done for me,
ic since I lost my poor papa I am
dependant on the aid of my good
mama alone I wish to thank you
1 thousand times from the bottom
of my heart. It wish to say, dear
godfather, that I have been in school
and that I will take my first com
munion next year.
As the first day of the year ap
proaches, I send you good wishes
for a good year and good health
aiso to your wife and little boy.
Dear godfather, I will finish my
letter by sending yoi4 all my best
wishes. Amities,

AT THE
THEATERS
STUART WALKER has "achiev
ed a new triumph in "The
Laughter of the Gods,' writes
the New York Evening Sun of Janu
ary 16, of this play by Lord Dun
sany, the well known Irish dramatist'
which had its American premiers on
the opening bill of Stuart Walker's
season at the Punch and Judy
theater, January 15. There is no re
sisting the imaginative spell of Lord
Dunsany, writes John Corbin in the
Times. .
"The Laughter of the Gods" tells
the story of an ancient king who
leaves his capital city with his queen
and court and journeys to the jungle
city of Thek, which pleases him so
mightily that he decides never to
leave it. The prospect of an endless
exile displeases the ladies of the court
so much that they stir up their hus
bands, who hatch a conspiracy. They
force the court prophet to make a
prophecy that if King'Karnos and
his retinue do not depart .within
three days the city will be destroyed.
The king and his followers are all
religious skeptics; it is only the
queen who feels the approaching
doom. 'And the cruel laughter of
the gods rings out when they make
the false prophecy of the intimidated
prophet turn into true prophecy by
destroying the city. The scene is a
gorgeous room in the palace, rich in
color, "and the fall of the city, is a
magnificient spectacle.
Favorites of the current bill are
the attractive vocalists, Florence
Merritt and Gaby Bridewell, who
offer bits of mirth and melody. The
eccentric pantomime comedian,
Reno, is one of the most faughable
clowns ever to appear on the vaude
ville stage. The headline attractions
of this, one of ' the most popular
Orpheum bills to have played Oma
ha in many weeks, are the melo
drama, "On the High Seas," and the
humorous , story-teller, Walter C
Kelley. One of. the feature acts is
the extremely ' laughable sketch,
"Off and On," offered by Ed Flana
gan and Neely Edwa.rds. ,
This afternoon and evening will
witness the closing performance of
"Mary's Ankle" at the Boyd, where
it has been entertaining large audi
ences all week.
On Thursday evening : the
Faversham Elliott engagement opens
at the BoydJ The play is "Lord and
Lady Algy,'i in which the company
has been well received in New York
and on the road. The sale of seats
so far is very large, and points to
a successful engagement. The com
pany stays till after Saturday night.
Her delivery of the sweet song,
"Mary, the Baby and Me" is win
ning for pretty Virginia Irwin, fea
tured with her father's company' at
the Gayety this week, no end of
compliments. She is garbed in a
quaintly old fashioned dress of the
hoop skirt style and truly presents
an agreeable picture to the eye.
Ladies matinee daily.
' In addition to a most pleasing
vaudeville program headed by Cal
Dean and Sorority Oirls in a minia
ture musical comedy and the photo
play, "The Call of the Soul," featur
ing Gladys Brockwell, the Empress
theater is offering its patrons a
treat in the way of music. Their
$30,000 Hope-Jones organ is com
pleted and is now being played at
every performance. With Miss Jane
Davis an organist and demonstrat
or of wide experience, at the keys,
it is likely that this great instrument
will set a new standard for movie
music in Omaha.

Physician Arrested
For Failure to Report
Venereal Diseases
Dr. C. B. McColm, west end
physician, was placed under arrest
y sterday on the charge of neglect
ing to comply with the Iowa law
requiring physicians to report 'all
cvses of venereal diseases they are
cailed upon to treat. The action was
due to the activ:ty of Major Mc
Laughlin of medical department of
the army, who has brought similar
actions against other local physi
cians. Dr. McColm announced yesterday
that he would fight the case to the
eid and test the validity of the Iowa
law, passed four years ago. He will
rely upon ythe alleged conflict with
the old common law that held the
r: ation of doctor and patient to be
sacredly private. He said he would
e-.nploy the best attorneys in Council
B uffsfand expects to receive finan
cia' assistance from doctors jn var
ious parts of the state. The action
was brought in superior court,
which has co-ordinate jurisdiction
with the district court and from
which appeal can : be made to su
preme court, where he expects the
rase to ujtimately go.
