THE ' BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2, 1919. POSSIBILITIES FOR BOULEVARD ARE UNEQUALED So Declares Chicago Expert After Going Over Route of Proposed Memorial High . way Along River. "The proposed memorial boule vard should be the entering wedge toward an ultimate city plan that will make Omaha one of the great ,dties of the country," was a state ment by Andrew N. Rebori yester day after driving over the route of the river boulevard as planned by the City Planning commission. Mr. Rebori has been identified with important projects in Chicago, his latest work being an extension oi North Michigan avenue. He was impressed by the topographical fea ture! along the river from Child's Poirft on the south to a point north of Florence. "Chicago has nothing that will equal the possibilities opened up by such an undertaking," he said. Declared Splendid Opportunity. "With Omaha in comparative in fancy, with the boundless possibili ties for expansion that its growth in the past seem to justify for the fu ture, and thej physical peculiarities of the topography that permit the building of the road, the people should realize at once the splendid opportunity they possess." He urged that Omaha should make big plans for the future. "This is the age of big ideas and their ex ecution," he added. "The scheme for a boulevard costing a million or o, as a memorial, may astound the people by its size today, but a few years from now the expenditure of that amount will be considered in significient. Nothing should be too costly to commemorate the work of our soldiers. "Be sure and make your plans big, make them so stupendous that the people will gasp at first; then, later, future generations will praise you for your foresight. If your plans are small now, nhe people of the future wjll have to develop the city for themselves and the work will run into billions, while millions will suffice at the present time." Double Funeral for Wife and Husband, "Flu" Victims A double funreal was held yester day morning for Ernest and Louise Howard, husband and wife, who re sided at 1010 Castelar street. Both deaths resulted from influenza. Bur ials were at Walnut Hill cemetery, Council Bluffs. The Howards came to Omaha three months gv "roin Fort Collins, Colo.

USED STRONG ARM TACTICS IN RAID, IS ACCUSATION Mrs. Bloom at "Dope" Hear ing Says Detective Forced Way into Room With- out Warrant. Detective Felix Dolan raided E. J. Bloom's room at the Hotel Fon tenelle Saturday night without a warrant, Hashed his revolver and threatened to shoot while Mrs. Sadie Bloom was confined to a sick bed, accordii';? t0 testimony yesterday in the hearing of Mr. and Mjs. Bloom and Dick Doratv charged with "illegal possession of drugs, be fore Vnited States Commissioner R. D. Neely. Mrs. Bloom and Doran were dis charged, and Bloom's case was con tinued until next Friday morning to hear further argument of attorneys on the point made by Ray Madden, counsel for the defendants, that his client's constitutional rights were violated when the detective forced an entrance to the room without a warrant. 'Favors Counsel's Plea, "I am inclined to the opinion that the stand of the cotmsel is well taken," commented Commissioner Neely. "I do not believe it is proper for a city detective to violate the law of the land and the rights of a citizen in the discharge of what he considers his duty." One ounce of cocaine and one ounce of morphine were found in Bloom's room. Commissioner Neely was not certain on the point of as to whether or not the officer's dis regard of the law in making the search justified the possession of the drugs. "It may resolve itself into the question of possession of a rea sonable amount," said the court when he continued the case until fur ther arguments are heard. Came Here On Business. Bloom testified to living in Min neapolis. He said he was in the garage business and came to Omaha to buy. some second hand automo biles. He admitted that he had the dope habit and used from three to five grains a day. Hejdeclared he purchased it from a negro, whose name he did not know. Doran ad mitted having introduced Bloom to the negro, whom he declared he knew in-San Francisco. Mrs. Bloom asserted that she nev er knew before her husband used drugs. She said they were married in 1911, and until she and Bloom were arrested she did not know any thing about his habits, as he. was away from home a great deal "of the time. The woman, who sat op posite her husband, wept bitterly throughout the Hearing. Give Negro's Description. Asked if he knew where the negro who sold the drugs to Mr. Bloom could be found and to furnish a de scription of him, Doran said he did not know where the man could be located. "He is a high, yellow, heavy-set and well dressed," he con tinued. Mrs. Bloom told Commissioner Neely that she had been sick in bed Tendency to Constipation? USE THIS LAXATIVE! Dietitians advise a "careful diet," but that is trouble some to jnost people; physical culturists advise "certain exercises, which is good if one has both the time and the inclination. Doctors advisediet and exercise and medicine. The question is, shall it be a cathartic or purgative med icine? Or a mild, gentle laxative? Thousands have decided the question to their own satis faction by using a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin known to druggists as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup pepsin. A small dose gives a free, easy movei.'mt of the bowels. It is the best substitute for nature herself. In fact since theingredienu are wholly from the vegetable kingdom tt may truthfully be said it is a natural laxative. Its positive but gentle action on the bowels makes it an ideal remedy for constipation. The dose is small, and it may be taken with perfect safety until the bowels are regulated and act again of their own accord. The drtiggiat will refund your money ii it fails to do as promised.
