COP SUSPENDED
30 DAYS 111 CASE
OF REV. J, ROACH
City Commissioners Find That
; Policeman Woods is Guilty
on Charge of "Conduct
Unbecoming Officer."
Policeman N. D. Woods was sus
pended for 30 days after a heanng
before city council yesterday on
the charge of "conduct unbecoming
an ofhcer" and "using profane lan
guage" in the police sration in con
nection with the arrest of Rev.
Jeremiah Roach on January 7.
Rev. Father Roach was taken from
a train at the Union station while
enroute from Denver to Peoria, -111.
At the police station it could not be
determined at rirst whether he was
intoxicated or ill. lie occupied a
cell until evening, when Police Sur
geon Edstrom diagnosed his case as
paresis and he was sent to St. Jo
seph's hospital.
Make Thorough Probe.
The conduct and language at
tributed to Officer Woods was al
leged to have been used on January
7 and 8. A complete investigation,
with many affidavits from witnesses,
was made by Police Commissioner
Ringer, and at that time there was
strong sentiment in. council for the
officer's dismissal.
Sifting of the evidence at the
hearing showed that Officer Woods
had merely remonstrated with
Father Roach because he thought
him intoxicated. Desk Sergeant
Rose testified that Woods said:
"Any man, no matter whether he is
a Catholic priest, a Methodist min
ister or a Presbyterian, or any
other clergyman, who falls so low
,as to get intoxicated isn't fit to min
ister to a congregation."
Turnkey Trapp testified that Of
ficer Woods used profanity in
speaking of the case. Sergeant Mor
ris said that he did not hear Woods
use any profanity.
Admits Profane Word.
Woods himself, taking the stand,
admitted that he used one profane
word in speaking of the priest, but
not in the presence of the priest.
. Assistant Chief of Police Demp
scv, Captains Ileidfeldt and Pat
tullo testified that Officer Woods
has a good record during his 11
years of service.
Police Commissioner Ringer, at
the end of the hearing, recom
mended that Woods be suspended
for 30 days.
Says Morale Better. '
"I make this recommendation as
a warning that such language must
stop in the police station," he said.
"We are raising the morale of the
force right along. Putting women
telephone operators down there has
helped a lot in this respect and the
morale is rising rapidly, and we
want to put a complete stop to loose
talk of this kind in the station."
Commissioner Zimman declared
that much more severe measures
should be taken and that Officer
Woods should be dismissed. Com
missioner Butler took the same
view, while Commissioner Ure asked
that the suspension be for only 15
days. The vote was 5 to 2 for the
30-day :'.;eusion.

Monster Suf)er-Zeppelin to
Make Trans-Atlantic Trip
in Latter Part of Summer
Prominent London Man Books Passage for Himself anjl
Wife on Maiden Trip of Giant Aircraft From
England to Brazil; Fare Will Be Be
tween $2,(f00 and $2,500.
By ROBERT WELLES RITCHIE
(Staff Correspondent of Universal Service)
.London, Jan. 29. The British admiralty alone posses
ses all the facts concerning the monster super Zeppelin
which it is planned to have make the first Transatlantic trip
from England to Brazil some time late this coming summer.
And the admiralty will not divulge these facts.
When London read yesterday of Sir Woodman Bur
bidge's statement that he had secured a cabin in the air
ship for the passage of himself and wife on this maiden trip
to Brazil in August, London chuckled and called it "jolly
sport."
Regular Air Route.
But I have learned enough today
to say that even if Sir Woodman's
statement was a little premature as
to booking passage, it is unques
tionably true that by August a
lighter than air ship will be ready
to make the Transatlantic flight, es
tablishing a regular air passage first
to Argentine and Brazil and then to
America.
Vickers Limited, makers of muni
tions and aeroplanes, are the inter
ested parties in the proposed super
Zeppelin. . I heard from an officer
in charge of the aero department
this afternoon enough details to
prove that this is not a chimera.
Admiralty Withholds Details.
"No, Sir Woodman did not exag
gerate, lie only let the cat out of
the bag," said the officer. "I am
quite sure the admiralty is not ready
to make a statement, but any com
plete statement will have to come
from the admiralty.
"You will not be far wrong in say
ing that the proposed ship will be
lighter than air and constructed
al3ng Zeppelin lines with important
modifications gained from English
experience with dirigibles during the
war.
"The germ of the experiment was
Scheideman Party Will Be
Largest in Prussian Diet
Amsterdam, Jan. 29. The work
of counting the vote cast in the
Prussian elections is still incom
plete, but partial returns show that
the majority socialist vote was cut
down in the largest , towns, accord
ing to advices from Berlin. The
independent socialists made gains,
probably a result of propaganda car
ried on after the shooting off Dr.
Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxem
burg. It is believed that the social
Scheidemann, will be the strongest
in the Prussian parliament. The
next party in strength will be the
Christian people's party, formerly
the centrists, ranking third.
Italian Quits Commission
to Visit Adriatic Forts
Paris, Jan. 29. (By Associated
Press) A commission consisting of
four admirals representing Great
Britain, the United States, France
and Italy, has been in session in
Fiume, inquiring into the occupation
of various forts along the eastern
coast of the Adriatic.
Meetings of the commission have
been suspended indefinitely, it is
said, owing to the withdrawal of the'
Italian representative, who is under
stood not to be in entire accord
with his colleagues as to the desira
bility of the inquiry.
What Goes Up Must Come
Dawn; It's Butter Again
Chicago Jan. 29. Victims of the
high cost of living found further
satisfaction today in the trend of

dropped 3 to 4 cents since yesterday
and potatoes declined 5 to 10 cents
a bushel. Cheese and eggs showed
no material change.

many over Egypt and back again.
That demonstrated thatfong flights
are perfectly feasible.
"It is open to discussion whether
lighter than air craft are not more
reliable than aeroplanes for long dis
tance trips.
Must Consider Storms.
"Yes, the planned Brazil flight is
about 25 per cent longer than the
proposed aero flight from Ireland to
New Foundland, but it is less subject
to storms."
When pressed for details of the
airship, the officer hedged.
"I must refer you to the ad
miralty," he said.
Inquiry at the admiralty drew the
response that "any statement at this
time would be premature."
Here is the rosy picture Sir
Woodman paints of the Brazil
flight:
"The fare, I understand, will be
something between 400 and 500
pounds, but it will be worth it for
the time saying. It will be some
cabin. It will be as luxurious as
one on an ocean liner. Dining 5,000
feet in the air will be. worth the
price alone. My wife is as keen as
I am to make the trip."

Following Demonstration
London, Jan. 29. German resi

made a demonstration in the streets
of that town Monday in honor of
the arrival there by airship of an
American mission headed by Col

change Telegraph dispatch from
Vienna the action of the Germans
aroused Madjester, the Jugo-Slav
commander, who ordered the people
to disperse. When his order was not
obeyed, the dispatch adds, he com
manded his troops to fire, with the
result that eight persons were killed
and many injured.

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair
When you wash your hair, be
careful what you use. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain too
much alkali, which is very injurious,
as it dries the scalp &nd makes the
hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. vlt's
very cheap, and beats the most ex
pensive soaps or anything else all to
pieces. You can get this at any
drug store, and a few ounces will
last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with wa
ter and rub it in, about a teaspoon
ful is all that is required. It makes
an abundance of rich, creamy lath
er, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses
out easily. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and is soft, fresh look
ing, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to'
handle. Besides, it loosens and

and dandruff. Adv.

CHAPTER XI.
When they left the men for the
parlor, the mauvais quart d'heure
which Amy had feared began. Mrs.
Dellabarre, not yet decided to ac
cept such a formidable rival, turned
her over to the mercy of the others.
Amy, after a moment of hesitation,
drew up her chair beside Mrs. Chal
loner and Mrs. Lightbody.
"Mrs. Challoner, I have been ad
miring you all through dinner," she
began timidly. "I have never seen
anything so darling as your gown."
"This rag? Oh, really! I was
about to throw it away," sa"id Mrs.
Challoner, favoring her with a
stare and, turning to Mrs. Light
body, she added, "I'm done with
Prandish. The line he gives you
this year is something abominable."
"Gracious, Gladys, I should say
so! There really is only one place in
New York," said Mrs. Lightbody,
without deeming it necessary to
specify such common knowledge.
"And who is that?" said Amv,
and, determined to be agreeable, she
moved her chair around Mrs. Chal
loner's half-averted shoulder.
"Why, Franceline, of course!"
Both ladies turned in astonish
ment, while their glances traveled
over her gown, which, though suf
ficiently expensive, was not from
Franceline.
"Rudy was certainly leaning hard
on his fork tonight," said Mrs.
Lightbody, in a confidential whis
per, which was her slangy way of
describing his familiar condition.
"Poor Irma, he does hang on!"
said Mrs. Challoner.
"They had another row this
morning."
'About whom?" said Mrs. Chal
loner, interested.

"I say, Gladys, everything's poky

All at once, as though aware of an
eavesdropper, she stopped and
looked at Amy, who, unable to ut

pletely isolated.
"What do they expect me to do?"
she thought angrily. "Get up and

"We'll' talk it over later," said
Mrs. Challoner significantly.
At the moment when this public
"Snubbing had become evident to
every one, Mrs. Bracken rose and,
approaching them, held out her
hand to Amy, saying:
"Come over and talk to mc a lit

on the instant the attitude of all

entree to her house was atyassport
everywhere. "Here is a quiet cor
ner," she said, and, still holding
Amy's hand, she drew her to a win
dow seat removed from the general
conversation. "What a child you
are! But you held your ground
beautifully!"
Amy's eyes filled with tears at the
gentleness of her tone. She looked
at her, and it seemed to her, as she
met the clear, untroubled eyes, that
she could have opened her heart to
her on the instant. Mrs. Bracken
perceived the emotion she had
caused and gave her a little pres
sure of the hand.
"There, my dear. They are cats,
tut it is a tribute, you know."
Amy hardly heard what was said.
She was gazing at her, carried away
by an impulse she did not compre
hend. i "I wish I could be your friend,"
she said abruptly.
"Perhaps you will be."
"I feel that I could talk to you
about anything," she said quickly,
"but I know to be your friend is a
great privilege."
"Yes; I dotft give my friendship
easily, but I believe I could be a
friend to you a real friend."
They looked at each other for a
moment, surprised at the abruptness
of their liking, jiet knowing that
their sympathy was mutual.
"Oh, please, I wish you would,
Mrs. Bracken; it would mean so
much to me!"
"Then that's decided," she an
