South Side
BOOTLEGGERS
OF SOOTH SIDE
TAKE VACATION
iii
But One Arrest on Liquor
Charge Made During Last
Six Days; Look for
Strong "Come Back." '
Residents of the South Side are at
a loss to account ror the sudden
dearth of police court cases involv
ing illegal sale or possession of in
toxicating liquor.
During the six days ending Thurs
day only one man was arrested by
South Side police officials on a liq
uor charge. This man, Fred Moeller,
1804 Van Camp avenue, had in his
possession a half pint of liquor. He
was fined $100 and costs by Police
Judge Foster. Thirty-five arrests
were made during the week.
, Reputation at Stake.
With its reputation as one of the
wettest spots in the Nebraska Sa
hara at stake, the South Side is try
ing to figure out whether Gus Hyers
and his force of liquor agents finally
have succeeded in closing the under
ground channels through which the
contraband liquor was wont to come
or whether the agents are working
elsew'.'-ere.i,
Previous to this week about SO per
cent of all arrests and convictions
on t rje South Side were on liquor
charges., A great amount of con
traband liquor has been confiscated
by state agents and city police.
Judge Foster also aided in the cru
sade against violators of the-prohibi-tion
law by heavily fining and jailing
offenders.
Many residents of the South Side
believe that bootlegg'ers are but tak
ing a short vacation and will begin
their unlawful operations with add
ed fervor in the near future.

Attends Agricultural Meet Rob

ture for the Union Pacific, has been
called to Memphis, Tenn., where a
meeting of supervisors of agriculture
of practically ail the railroads in the
United States is being held.
Rail Ollkiul Here W. S. Basin
ger, former general passenger agent
of the I'nion Pacitlc, but now with
the traflic division of the railroad
administration, is in town for a few
days. Mr. Basinger sees no pros
pect for the return of the railroads
to corporate ownership in the near
future. y
Ask Rate on Coal The Aztec Coal
Mining company, with mines in the
vicinity of Madrid, N. M., and gen
eral offices at Denver, has applied to
the Omaha district freight traffic
committee for rates on coal into Ne
braska. The New Mexico company
is anxious to enter the northern ter
ritory with its product. Not having
shipped into this territory before,
there has never been a freight rate
on coal from New Mexico.

merce Saturday at luncheon. Mrs.

. New Order on Trackages The rail
road administration has promul
gated a new order relative to indus
trial trackage in cities. When the
railroads were under corporate con
trol and operation, industrial tracks
were laid and maintained at the ex
pense of the companies operating.
Now the rule is that the railroads
will stand the expense of construc
tion, but maintenance cost must be
borne by the industries served.
Rudolph Ganz, Noted
Swiss Pianist, Will
Be in Omaha April 22
Rudolph Ganz, the eminent Swiss
pianist who will give a joint recital
with Carolina Dazzari, leading con
tralto with the Chicago Opera com
pany at the Auditorium, Tuesday
evening, April 22, is primarily the in
tellectual pianist, if you take away
from "intellectual" its imputation of
coldness. He is intellectual as
Kreisler, with a highly energetic
grasp of the meaning that is in the
notes, and an exceptionally clear
way of foreseeing the effect needed
to convey that meaning. The result
is that the listener sees the piece
of music spread out before him as
though it were a picture.
Man Struck by Bullet Sues
Omaha Store for $20,000
Peter A. Peterson filed suit yes
terday in district court aeainst J. L.
Brandcis & Sons for $20,000 for in
juries alleged to have been received
on January 9, 1919, when he was
struck by a bullet, said to have been
shot by Lawrence Finn, store de
tective, who was in pursuit of a shop
lifter.
GRAIN EMBARGO
PERMIT SYSTEM
LIFTEOJODAY
Accept Shipments on Any
Road Except for Export;
No Effect on Omaha
Is Expected.
Railroad officials have been ad
vised that beginning with this date
the railroad administration has lifted
the embargo on all grains destined
for primary markets and at the same
time has canceled the permit system
that has been maintained on grain
shipments since early last fall.
Permits must be obtained where
grain is routed for export hjtfore
such shipments can be made.
The raising of the embargo will
have little if any effect upon the
Omaha market, due to the fact that
both in and out shipments of all
kinds of grain have been light dur
ing the last three months.
This letting up in receipts has cor
respondingly improved the storage
conditions in terminal elevators, so
that there is plenty of capacity for
all shipments in sight.
Shipments have been so great
since the first of the year that few
of the Omaha elevators are filled.
State Second in Amount of
Manufacturing Per Employe
Nebraska stands second among all
states in the union in the amount of
manufacturing per employe.
This fact was recently discovered
by the bureau of publicity of the
Omaha Chamber of Commerce in
browsing througn the new report of
the bureau of census, based on 1914
figures.
The reason for Nebraska's high
standing is, of course, that most of
Nebraska's manufacturing is con
fined to lines where the percentage
of labor is low in comparison with
the value of output, such as packing,
and butter production.
