OMAHA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 25. 1913.
THIRD LIEIaBER
VICE GAI2G IS IN
JAIL III OREGOII
.
Charles C. Woodworth, Alleged
Member of Nation-Wide Or
ganization, is Arrested;
Butters at Liberty.
Uiiited States Post Office Inspec
tor Coble, has received report from
Portland, Ore1., that Chas. C.
Woodworth, another member of the
alleged nationwide vice organization,
of which Albert Butters, north
Twenty-fourth street photographer,
is said to be a part, has been placed
under arrest.
Woodworth is an electrician in the
employ of the Portland Railway
Light and Power company, "and is
49 years old. The report says he is
being held in default of bond.
This is the second arrest resulting
from the discovery of a great quan
tity of letters and. pictures of nude
women and children captured at the
time of Butter's arrest several weeks
ago, Rufus F. MacComas having
been arrested in Chicago a few days
apo. When arrested MaComas
claimed he was a salesman for the
Pathescope company, 17 North Wa
bash avenue, Chicago, also that he
was a photographer and artist.
Pastmaster of Vice.
From a survey of the letters found
in Butter's possession, MacComas
seems to have been the grand past
master of this amazing organization,
whose sole purpose seemed to be the
debauching of the morals of little
pirls from 5 to 12 years old, and pos
,ng them in nude disqusting posi
tions for pictures which they were
exchanging between each other,
ilong with obscene letters written in
:ode, gloating over their conquests
In perverting the morals of the little
rirls, and securing the pictures. One
of the letters written by MacComas
o Butters and which is now in pos
:ssion of the county officials here
:xplained the process he used, say
ing that when ' the child and her
mother first came to the studio he
look the picture in the regular way,
flattering the mother on the child's
ieauty. .
He then askecT permission to take
Mher pictures, until the child was
nHwed to come to the studio atone.
Then he said he suggested a
"gypsie" pose bare-footed, or other
semi-nude poses, then draped poses,
and finally nude poses. The pic
tures preceeded the moral debauch
ing of the children. MacCombs ad
vised "simlpy making a stall at tak
ing "pictures" in order not to waste
plate, until the desired nude pose
was accomplished.
Flatiron Played Big
Part in the Clears'
- Marital Difficulties
"Alice, get me a flatiron!"
."Get it yourself!"
"You are getting sso that you
won't do anything for- your best
friend." '
That is a sample of the testimony
offered before Judge Day during
the hearing of a divorce action be
tween Walter and Alice Clear.
The evidence indicated that Mr.
Clear wis repairing an automobile
lire in his back yard and that he
Deeded a flatiron.
Alice's dilatory demeanor did not
have a cheerful effect. The atmos
phere of the Clear household belied
its i.pe. .
Mr, Clear filed a petition for di
vorce and the wife filed a cross
petition, but she did not appear to
contest the case. The judge award
ed a decree to the husband and al
lowed the wife $300 alimony.
Ure Asks That Auditorium
, Basement Be Made Garage
A resolution was introduced in
city council by Commissioner Ure
providing for equipping the base
ment of the Auditorium for the stor
age and repair of city automobiles,
and placing the municipal garage
under direction of Fire Commis
sioner Zimman.
Mr. Zimman asked that the vote
on the resolution be postponed un
til the commissioners can visit the
Auditorium basement and determine
finally whether it is really advisable
to have the garage there.
"We must consider carefully," he
said, "what effect it will have on the
thousands of people who go to the
Auditorium if they know that there
is a garage under the stage."
Richard Thought Birthday
Should Be a Holiday Too
Little Richard Hansen, son of
Chris Hansen, 1810 Martha street,
celebrated his fifth birthday Wed
nesday. "Dickie, will .you please go to the
store and bring home a loaf of
bread?" his mother asked during
the course of the day.
"Why, no, mother I can't!"
"Can't go, Dickie? What do you
mean? I need the bread for supper,"
mother exclaimed.
"But the stores are closed,
mother! 'Don't you know all the
stores close on Christmas and birth
days?" was the little fellow's re
joinder. Food Administration Office.
