THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, MARCH 18, 1919. South Side CLUB WOMEN OF SO. SIDE TAKE M'AULETO PART Say Superintendent of Geneva Girls' , Home Is Victim of Political Persecutions. South Side clubwomen stand solidly in the defense of Paul Mc Auley, superintendent of the Geneva Home for Girls, where an investiga tion of methods of punishing girls is being made. , "This investigation is a political move on the part of displaced em ployes," Mrs. J. B. Watki ns, promi nent member of the South Side Woman's club, told the Omaha Wo men's club Monday. "I passed a week in Geneva last summer and I would swear that Mr. McAuley never beat any of those girls. If lie punished them, it was because they were vicious and could be handled in no other way," she said. "The girls are exceedingly difficult to handle. Some are victims of men whom God may forgive, but we women never can. Welfare workers who object to McAuley's methods of punishment are most of them under the wrong impression because they have not investigated suffi ciently." "Mr. McAuley is in the same posi tion as our police commissioner, Dean Ringer, who was left with a lot of incompetent employes whom he has not the authority to dis charge." Both officials to whose defense Mrs. Watkins rose are South Side men. Mrs. Mary Hugenberg, Lived 20 Years on So.

Because no appropriation was made to carry on this special work of the federal employment bureau, the Departments of War and Labor and the National Council of De fense requested the National Asso ciation of Chambers of Commerce to take over the work. The Omaha bureau was highly en dorsed. The only other model plan recommended was that of New Or leans, where the soldiers reemploy ment is handled by a united com mittee of all war recreational ac tivities. The next issue of "Nation's Busi ness," will have a complete descrip tion of the Omaha bureau, of which Mrs. Mabel Walker is in charge.

MAYOR DENIES WHIP CRACKED OVER CITY DADS Zimman Opposes Policemen Getting More Pay Than Firemen; Hot Words at the Session. Mayor Smith denies that things are being put through the city coun cil "at the crack of the whip. "If this raise of $35 per month for the policemen is going through at thq crack of the whip, we should get something in return for it," ex claimed Commissioner Ure, when the council committee of the whole discussed Commissioner Ringer's new ordinance covering increase of pay for policemen. The mayor denied whip-cracking in the council chamber, but admit ted that a bludgeon might be nec essary at times. Mr. Ure declared that he could not understand when or where there had been any definite understand ing between the city council and the policemen that the latter would receive an increase to $135 per month for the rank and file. He stood for a double shift system to go with the jncrease. Knows of No Agreement. "I am going to vote against the $35 increase," said Commissioner Zimman. "I deny that there has been any agreement, although a sergeant told me that they had it in writing." Mr. Ringer endeavored to calm the troubled waters by stating that he had entered into an understand ing with the men, who expected $135. The ordinance which was con sidered and which will be brought in this ' morning, provides for three classes of patrolmen, the pay to be $120, $125 and $135, re spectively. Mr. Ringer explained that he expected to place all patrol men who 'have been in the service two years or more, in the $135 class on April 1, and ijse this classifica tion for future action. That pro position caused the mayor to hurl some more burning words at the commissioner of police. "Not long ago," added the mayor, addressing Ringer, "you and the chief of police told me that there were some men in the department who were not worth a tinker's dern, and now you propose to start off by placing them all in the high est class. That isn't fair. You owe some obligation to 200,000 people of Omaha." Mr. Zimman is opposed to the or- Brief City News Royal Sweepers, Burgess-Oranden Co. Have Root Print It Beacon Press.

HUSBAND BEATS UP HIS WIFE'S YOUNG ESCORT Man, Badly Battered Up, Runs into Drug Store for Treat ment; Erring Wife. Accompanies Him. Wild screams of a man, the crack of revolver shots and the noise of running feet disturbed the usually peaceful neighborhood of Georgia avenue and Leavenworth street Sun day night. A man had laid in wait to catch his wile, who was out with another man. When the wife and her es cort alighted from a westbound car the husband and a friend of his at tacked the man and beat him up badly. He finally made his escape and rushed into the drug store of Guy H. Myers on the corner. P. J. Den nis, the clerk there, thought he was crazy. "He was screaming at the top of his voice," said Mr. Dennis. "1 never heard such screams in all my life from a man. He seemed to be in terror. He was a young man about 22 years old, light complex ion and rather short. His face was bruised and a piece of flesh hung down from his chin. It looked as though it had been cut loose with brass knuckles. "He acted so wild that I was afraid of him at first, but soon I saw that he was just scared. I got him into the back room. The woman stayed outside and I could hear her talking to her husband. He said something about her coming home to the babies. She said:, 'You haven't any right to butt in here. You know what you did the other night. I could have you arrested for that' "Well, soon she came in and tried to soothen the man down. She pat ted him on the head and told him to be brave. And she finally succeed ed in calming him down. They stayed here about five minutes, lhe husband and other man seemed to have left. But the wife and her es cort hadn't been gone more than two or three minutes when I heard shots down the street and I heard him screaming again." The names of the persons mixed up in the '"row" are not known to any of the people who saw the trouble. ' At Georgia avenue and Mason street, where evidently a second at tack took place, a large crowd col lected. J. J. O'Connor, an attorney. lives at 1022 Georgia avenue. He heard a man's "unearthly screams." "I fired a revolver out of the win dow several times to scare away whomever was there," he said. "But the screaming continued. I ran out on the front porch and I saw a fellow at the corner, doubled up as though in great pain. I start ed to run over toward him and he dodged down Mason street and got away." C. X. Thompson, 840 Georgia avenue, said he saw the man and that he seemed to be dazed. "He was turning around in circles and screaming," he said. , Dr. A. D. Dunn, 1005 Georgia avenue, and Dr. Alfred Schalek, 1001 Georgia avenue, were among the crowd that gathered. They said they saw nothing of the man's as sailants. E. Jv. Beach, 1010 Georgia avenue, said two men ran west on Mason street, just as the man be gan to scream. The police arrived about 10 min utes after the victim of the assault had disappeared. Mrs. C. A.

BUYS WHISKY FOR STATE AGENTS; IS FINED 2 HUNDRED Brown Taxi Co. Discharges Driver Who "Accommo dated" "Dry" Agents With "Wet" Stuff. Wayne Munson, a chauffeur for the Brown Taxi company of Omaha, while sitting in his car Sunday was accosted by State Agents Smith and Johnson at Twenty-fourth and L streets. "My, but today has been a warm one," said Smith to Munson, if Ne-' braska were only wet once more, we wouldn't have to worrv about the heat or anything else. Say, by the way, can you put us wise to where we can get a little shot of rum? We are strangers in the city and a good drink wouldn't go bad at all." Munson eyed the two curiously for a moment and then offered to get them a little of the stuff for about $4 a pint plus 50 cents, the driver's bonus. Smith gave Mun son a $5 bill and he started off for the so-called "stuff." Apparently the joint was very near, as Munson returned in about five minutes with a pint bottle of Cedar Brpok whisky in his coat pocket. Munson, as the guest of Smith and Johnson, then paid a visit to the police station, where he was this morning fined $100 for illegal pos session and an additional $100 for attempted illegal sale of liquor. Munson was immediately dis charged by the Brown Taxi com pany. "We will tolerate no illicit trade in liquor by our employes," said the manager of -the concern. "We have repeatedly cautioned our men against bootlegging,- telling them that we would extend no aid if they were caught in such prac tices. .We have bulletins printed explaining our opposition to the aiding of the liquor traffis by our employes. Munson is one of the first men to violate our instructions and we discharged him as soon as his guilt was established. Huns Deliver Rolling Stock to Allied Armies Berlin, March 17.
