Lack of Organization Prevents
Russian Cattle From Reach

Armour Publicity.
"The live stock men and the meat
.packers face a task which has not
grown less by reason of the fact
that the war is oyer," said R.
MacManus of Chicago, head of the
publicity department of Armourv&
Co., who is here preparatory to go
ing out with a party of Omaha live
stock commission men on a "boos
er" trip through several western
states.
"The live stock raisers and the
genera! public do not appreciate the
function of the packers in the eco
nomic life of this country," he said.
"I verily believe that 1 if there had
been an organized packing industry
in Russia, that country would not
have fallen down in the war. There
are plenty of .cattle on the hills of
Russia and s'.vl the millions in the
cities are hungry.
"The pickers are tc marketing
agents of the live stock producers
and the purchasing cgents of the
meat consumers.

Boone County Man Had Planned to Invest $45,000 in

Alleged Promoters of Game.
While Jens Andrews, wealthy
Boone county. Neb., fanner, was ex
plaining to two alleged confidence
men at Nineteenth and Farnam
streets yesterday noon why the First
National bank did not let him have
$5,000 to invest in a "grain deal,"
proposed by the strangers, City De
tectives Palmtag and Herdzina ex
ploded the conference and arrested
the strangers. The men were booked
for investigation. They gave their
names and addresses as John

derstanding between the packers and

understand us too. We want to

the fact that we make only a very

this trip himself but was unable to
do so. Mr. McManus will address

which the "boosters" visit and will

Kansas City, Mo., and James Davis,
Hutchinson, Kas. Andrews was
booked as complaining witness, lie
told police his name was John Hunt,
Coleridge, Neb.
Police Notified.
The arrest was made through the
comlTined efforts of T. L. Davis, vice
president, and F. W. Thomas, cash
ier of the First National bank, who
Andrews thanked in glowing terms
for having iaved his ?5,000.
Police say that John Murphy and
James Davis are the men who tried
to swindle a farmer, who sold two
carloads of hogs at the South Side
market Friday, out of $5,000. Bcr
tillion measurements of both men
were taken yesterday.
Andrews said he met the strang
ers Wednesday after he ra 1 dis
posed of three carloads of hogs for
$6,000. They said they were "grain
men," and were in a position to give
tips on the market. Andrews was
told that he had won $500 and that
he could have the cash any time.
Friday, one of the duo gave Andrews
a "tip" that wheat was going up,
and $5,000 could bring $10,000 re
turns. Andrews agreed to git the
$5,000 for them.
Leaves in Rage.
Saturday morning he went to draw
the money from the First National
bank. He admitted to T. L. Davis
and Cashier Thomas that he was
making an investment in wheat. The
bank officials, suspecting a get-rich
scheme, could hardly swerve An
drews from his demands. The farm
er left the bank in a rage. Mr.
Thomas notified the police. Two de
tectives followed Andrews to his
trysting place with the strangers
and made the arrest. The fanner
was unaware that he was the near
victim of a swindle until all three
landed in jail.

Thanks for Donations
at Drive for Clothes
The committee of collections and
shipment of refugee garments, which
had charge of the recent Red Cross
relief drive for destitute Europeans,
adopted the following vote of thanks
to the community for aid given in
the recent drive:
"The Omaha chapter of the Red
Cross wishes to thank those who
so loyally assisted in making the
drive for the Red Cross campaign
for used clothing, such a success.
The newspapers, street-cars, thea
ters, and moving picture houses,
for their advertising, the public
schools, the Red Cross motor corps,
those who furnished trucks and cars
which collected the bundles and
which averaged over 200 stops a day,
the drug stores where the bundles
were delivered, the different citizens
who contributed to the donations
by giving freely of their supplies
which made the drive the success
it has been, and by any one who has
been instrumental in helping us
complete the quota.
"Also the ow-ner of the building
where the goods were received and
packed, and the women of the city
who took such a great interest in
collecting the clothes for the quota
of 35,000 pounds which was allotted
to us. and which seemed in the early
part of the drive we would not
reach."
