Chief State Agent Confers
With Officials Concerning
Methods to Be Used
in This City.
Chief State Agent Gus Hyers vis
ited the South Side police station
Wednesday and conferred with po
lice officials with a view of improv
ing the methods of apprehending
bootleggers.
Omaha has more than its share
of the "stuff that thrills," accord
ing the chief booze hound of the
state.
Mr. Hyers now heads a force of
.10 state agents and is at present
making a tour of the state in an
effort to improve their work.
Hogs Increase $1.25
When Restrictions
Are Removed by U. S.
Since the removal of all govern
men restrictions on the buying and
felling of hogs the price has shot
up with great rapidity. An increase
of $1.25 a hundredweight since last
Monday was registered Wednesday
morning.
Nineteen thousand hogs were re
ceived at tht South Side market
Tuesday, showing tuit a slight de
crease in receipts. ' The Chicago
market, which in normal times re
ceives twice the amount of hogs
received on the Omaha market, got
but 18,000 porkers Tuesday.
A break in the market and a con
sequent falling off in the price of
hogs in the near future is antici
pated by some commission men,
among them being Gene Melady.
According to Mr. Melady a decrease
in the price of hogs has always
come at about this time of the
year. This 'is caused by the farm
er's desire to rid himself of all
unnecessary live stock before be
ginning his spring work.

THE best proof of the popularity of Paige Cars is the
shortage of Paige Cars. We mean that literally a
shortage of New Paiges and Used Paiges.
We have never had enough Paige Sixes either the New
Series fivepassenger Lin wood or the New Series seven'
passenger Essex to satisfy the world-wide demand.
That shortage today is more acute than ever.
The explanation for that lies fairly and squarely in Paige
Worth. Paige Owners find that Paige Quality pays in
Economy and long Service precisely as Paige Beauty
Eays in Satisfaction. Low up-keep, absence of repair',
ills, continuous running, are theibundation upon which
Paige Supremacy has been built.

CHALMERS 7ILL
NOT CUT PRICES
FOR TWO MONTHS
With Shortage of 300,000
Autos to Be Produced This
Year There Is No Chance
for Reduction.
"Regardless of what other manu
facturers may be forced to do, and
no matter what the trend of the
automobile world this spring, the
price of our cars will not be re
duced one penny before June 1, 1919,
if, indeed at all." said J. C. Stribs
of the Western Motor Car company,
local Chalmers dealer.
"The automobile business is the
third greatest industry in America,
but unquestionably the first great

The new building will exemplify
attractive beauty in every detail.
Construction will begin this week.
The increasing business of the
-Western Motor Car company, to
gether with the added popularity of
the Chalmers and Peerless cars
throughout the middle west, has
necessitated a change of quarters.
Salesroom attractively decorated
with mural paintings and tiled floor,
selves, are extremely temperamenta .
We are easily affected by unfound
ed rumors and predictions,, invaria
bly doing the very opposite in regard
to a motor car from that which we
would consider sound business in
any other matter.
"For instance, in the past we have
been cautioned by self-styled ex
perts that the motor industry was
reaching the point of saturation, and
later, with the great war cloud over
head, came the cry of the alarmist
that the industry was about to
crumble. Unfortunately, froth of
these groundless beliefs gained an
car before they eventually disappear
ed as foolishly as their authors.
"It takes but little reflection to
understand why there can be no
thought of a universal cut in prices
for some time to come. The first
reason is because it is .estimated
there will be a shortage 'of 300.000
cars in the 1919 output; as quantity
production is the only thing in the
world that can make any merchan
dise sell for less, it is easy to see
why the automobile prices for the
immediate future must stay up.
' Other Reasons.
"The other reason embraces many
obvious considerations, lake the
matter of living expense; it is true
that with the coming of peace food
stuffs are more easily acquired, but
for the immediate future, until the
markets and transportation are re
adjusted, there can be no relief from
the conditions that existed during
the war period.
"Hostilities have been at an end
for over three months, and yet there
remains still in Europe , an Ameri
can army as large as the population
of Detroit. Things cannot be put in
their places as easily and swiftly as
they were removed. Soldiers can
not be rushed from Chateau-Thierry
and demobilized in San Francisco
overnight; foodstuifs, although more
abundant, cannot be harvested and
distributed ahead of schedule; nor
can automobile factories dispose of
government obligations in 30 days'
time."

Night Bombardment
by Bolshevik Forces
Proves Ineffective
Archangel, March 12. The bol
shevik forces adopted new tactics
last night, carrying out a night
bombardment of the allied positions
on the railway front The enemy
shelled these positions from 11
o'clock until one in the morning
without doing any damage.
The allied Vaga column yester
day withdrew north from Vistavka
t', a new position, bringing out most
of their war material and destroy
ing the remainder, and completely
leveling the ruins of the village,
which the bolsheviki artillery partly
wrecked.

fantry engagement in which the
British, Americans and Russians re
pulsed the enemy indicate that the

small.
Jury Completed for Trial
of 32 Accused of Plotting
Wichita, March 12. The jury
which will hear the cases of 32
alleged meftibers of the Industrial
Workers of the World on trial in
federal court, here, charged with
violation of the espionage act, was
obtained tonight, fcleven jurymen
are farmers and the twelfth a cattle
raiser.
George F. Vandeveer of Seattle,
chief counsel for the defense, who
examined the jurymen, filed three
mations:
First: Requiring government offi
cials to turn over to him all the
evidence they had collected because
the evidence was seized without due
process of law. This includes all
data gathered in southern Kansas
and Oklahoma oil fields.
Second: The dismissal of the
case because the facts do not con
stitute a cause for action.
Third: Prejudice because of ac
counts in current papers which may
have affected jurors' minds.
Argument on these motions will
be heard by Federal Judge Pollock
tomorrow.
Many of the witnesses who will
be examined have been broughr
from California where arrests of
100 I. W. W. were made at the time
of a general raid on headquarters
in cities in all sections of the United
States, September 5, last.
The 32 defendants were brought
into court today as their cases were
called, but were not asked to answer
to the indictments.
They will not be arraigned until
after motions filed in the case, in
cluding motions to quash the in
dictments, filed by the defense, have
been disposed of. -

GENERAL TIEUP
THREATENED IN
NEW YORK CITY
Harbor Strike Cuts Off Sup
ply of Coal Required for
Operation of Street '
Car Lines.
New York, March 12. A complete
tieup of New York City's subway,
elevated and surface car lines, as
well as paralysis of its harbor ship
ping, is threatened by the strike of
harbor workers which has been in
progress more than a week, it was
asserted today.
Frank Hedley, general manager of
the Interborough Rapid Transit and
allied lines, declared that unless coal
barges are moved at once a shut
down of transportation on Manhat
tan island will result. Freight is
piling up at piers and the move
men of trans-Atlantic and coastwise
shipping has been demoralized.
Appeals to Washington described
the situation as "critical" and called
for intervention by the commandeer
ingNf the tug boats. The Wholesale
Coal Dealers' association telegraphed
Secretary of War Baker Yesterday,
petitioning him to seize enough
equipment to coal troops -ships tied
up here.
While these appeals were going
forward the situation was further
complicated by announcement by
Matthew McConville, head of the
Hoisting Engineers' union, that his
organization would support the
strikers if coal barges were manned
by non-union labor.
A statement by the Longshore
men's association said that unless the'
federal government intervenes it
will be impossible to load a vessel
in New York harbor.
All efforts toward a settlement
of the strike were suspended today
pending return of James L. Hughes,
federal mediator.
The Boat Owners' association de
clared it would not meej the strikers
through their union leaders and the
marine workers' affiliation flatly re
fused the employers' suggestion for
a joint conciliation committee to
discuss grievances.
A Delicate Hint.
The morning milk delivered at
the parsonage was certainly weak,
and the head of the household con
sidered it necessary to remonstrate.
"Are you aware," he remarked to
the milkman, "that we require this
milk for the hitherto recognized
purposes?"
"I hope so, sir," replied the trades
man. "That's all right, then," returned
the parson gently; "I merely men
tioned it in case you may have
thought we wanted it for the font."

"Can you give me a little some
thing to help me oot," said the
tramp at the door. -"I'm in awful
hard luck." x
"Hard luck. A man like you
ought to be at work not around
begging from house to house."
"Iwas at work ma-am. I took a
job for the duration of the war, but
now it's over I just naturally re
turned to my old trade of begging
for a living "
An Artistic Car
With a Warrior's Heart
XQUISITELY modeled and built, a smart trav
l eler of city street or country road, the Mollne
11 Knight is nevertheless a car to meet the hardest
dependability, every motorist needs.
The toodish Moline-Knight is built around an engine at
home alike on battlefield and asphaltum drive. Canada
specified a Moline-Knight sleeve valve motor for its War -Truck.
British military engineers would have none but
a Knight in The Tanks. Here in America, New York and
Chicago motor b-.ises in motor distress called the
Moline-Knight to the rescue.
Noiseless, immune to carbon corrosion and pre-5gni-tion,
it is the de luxe engine for the de luxe passenger car.
Each is a classic, but we urge your especial considera
tion of the Moline-Knight Special De Luxe, a seven pas
senger luxury car for fastidious motorefs.
i Our exhibit will convince you of the tash-i'.l beauty of
this car. Let us take you for a rapid spin over the
roughest road you may care to pick and prove what a
Moline-Knight motor in a Moline-Knight car means in
comfort and all-around motoring enjoyment.

By this time Mrs. Unison was

"Far from it," her husband an

"Isn't that making fun of it?"

"How's that?"
