SELLING ICE ON
SUNDAY-MAYOR
Smith Directs Officials to Act
Following Conference With
William Russ, Who
Charges Violations.
Mayor Smith has directedVofticials
of the police department to enforce
provisions of ordinance No. 10007,
nvhich prohibits selling or giving ice
on Sunday.
This a'ctioh followed a conference
'between William Russ and the may
or, during which the former stated
that the ordinance is being violated
frequently and that it is not fair to
those who are observing this law.
The ordinance was passed Octo
ber 1, 1918, after discussion by ice
men in the council chamber. It was
''understood and agreed that the ord
inance would not operate against
emergency case's where ice was
needed for sickness, but the pur
pose was to give the ice men one
day of rest a week.
The penalty for violation is a fine
of,$25 to $100 for first offense, $50
to $100 for second offense, and a
fine of $100 for each offense there
after. Mayor Smith believes that police
should enforce the ordinance.

"The morale office at Camp

course originated by Mr. Auerbach
and in which 4,000 soldiers enrolled,

charge, in order to complete it.
Such practical helpfulness is most
appreciated by this office and the
men themselves," General Munson
wrote.
Mr. Auerbach is in Omaha on
leave.

Police Salary Ordinance
Passed by City Council
Commissioner Ringer Votes "No" and Declares Action
Is "Insidious Meddling With His Department"
Mayor in Turn Says Police Head Is "Inconsistent."
The police department salary ordi
nance vas passed by the city coun
cil yesterday morning, Mayor' Smith
and Commissioners Butler, Falconer
and Zimman voting "yes," Commis
sioner Ringer "no," and Commis
sioners Towl and Ure being absent.
Patrolmen will be paid $125 per
month forthwith for March, and it
is probable that they will receive $25
each extra pay for January and Feb
ruary. Their present maximum is $100
per month. ' Officers of the depart
ment are allowed increases by this
ordinance.
The ordinance also provides for
observance of a seniority system of
promotion, which feature has been
opposed by Mr. Ringer.
"This is insidious meddling with
my department," stated the superin
tendent of police. "Under the com
mission form of city government I
am held responsible for the adminis
tration c the police department, and
I contend that I am entitled to au
thority commensurate with my re
sponsibilities. "For instance, this ordinance pro
vides that a man must have served
at least two years as patrolman be
fore he can be promoted to the de
tective department. A patrolman
must be at least five feet and eight
inches in height to be eligible to ap
pointment, and thu you will observe
that under this ordinance it will be
impossible for me to appoint anyone
to the detective department unless
he has been a patrolman. A man
might be five feet and six inches in
height and yet be a whirlwind of a
detective."
Mayor Smith replied that Ringer
was inconsistent, that he (Ringer)
voted in favor of moving the city
asphalt plant from the street depart
ment and also voted against the
mayor's market house location at
Fifteenth and Davenport streets.
The mayor's point was that a com
missioner is not necessarily med
dling with the police department be
cause he votes against a proposition
favoredby Ringer.
BODY TO PROBE
COST
GIRL ASKS $50,000.
'HEART BALM' FROM
POTASH MAGNATE
-
Olive D. Smith Says L. D.
Tydings Promised to
Wed Her.
Olive D. Smith filed suit in dis
trict court yestecday against Lawis
D. Tydings, Omaha bond salesman
and potash magnate, asking $50,000
"heart balm." alleging that Mr,
Tydings has broken an alleged
promises to marry her.
She relates that they met early
last year and that on November 1,
1918, Tydings proposed and they
entered into an engagement, "each
agreeing to marry the other."
But on March 15, 1919, she says
in the petition, he broke the agree
ment. He is a man of wealth and
standing, she says, and asks the
$50,000.
Is Reputed Wealthy.
Mr. Tydings is a bond salesman
for the firm of Askew & Pickrell,
1106 Woodmen of the World build
ing. He made investments in pot
ash some time ago and it is said
that his income now is $1,500 to
$2,000 a month. He dnves a high
powered roadster and has had
apartme'its at a downtown hotel for
the last four years.
When asked about the suit yester
dav, he pronounced it "absurd."
"All I did was to help the girl
out," he said. "She came to me and
was out of work and I gave her
some money? At another time she
had the 'flu' and I went down to
her home and took some things to
her. There hasn't been any sign of
any engagement between us. I was
interested only in helping her out
just as I am accustomed to help
out lots of other people."
"How did you meet her?" he was
asked.
"Well, now you want to know too
much of everything," he said.
"Wasnt there any engagement
between you?" ,
just "Kind" to Her.
"Not tf.c slightest excuse for such
a statement I was kind to her and
she evidently presumed that it
meant .nore. I have never been in
terested in any woman in Omaha
with one exception."
Mr. Tydings declared that Miss
Smith called him up yesterday and
asked her to give him some money.
He is about 42 years old and Miss
Smith is 26.
She lives at 419 Sweetwood avenue.
American Potash Co.
Sued for $56,634 for
Potash Sold by Broker
John H. Krause and Herman J.
Krause, forming the firm of Krause
Bros., filed suit against the American
Potash romnanv and W. E. Sham in
district court yesterday, asking $56,-
6,54, alleged to be due in business
transactions. For potash sold in Jan
uary, February and March Krause
Bros, claim as their share $36,634.
They further state that the Amer
ican Potash company has retained
$20,000 of their money for freight
and storaee on 11.000 tons of DOtash
and thatlhe American Potash com
pany has used, sold or hypothecated
the warrants for this potash.
NAMED BY MAYOR
Executive Also Introduces Or
dinance for Encourage
ment of Brick Industry
to Bring Prices Down.
Mayor Smith has appointed Com
missioners Towl, Zimman and But
ler as a special committee to inves
tigate the cost of building materials
and housing conditions.
This committee takes the place
of the old committee, with Com
missioner Towl remaining as chair
man. When Mr. Towl returns from
Lincoln the committee will begin
its work.
The mayor also presented to the
council his new ordinance for the
encouragement of the brick industry
in Omaha. The measure will be
discussed in committee of the whole
on next Monday morrting.
The mayor proposes to repeal all
existing ordinances and to allow the
establishment of brick yards in lo
cations to be approved by the coun
cil. The present ordinances are
unnecessarily 'restrictive, according
tijf the opinion of the mayor.
White Man and Colored Wife
Patch Up Troubles in Court
Following a verbal wrangle in po
lice court Monday between Wil
liam Sones, Fourteenth and Grace
streets, white, and his colored wife,
Florence, the couple was dismissed
to an .ante-room to "talk over the
situation." ,
Five minutes later they emerged
from the room to tell the police
judge that from now on they will
live together contentedly. Mrs.
Sones swore out a warrant against
her white husband charging him
with assault and battexy.
Mr. Sones denied having struck
her. The wife displayed a dis
colored eye and facial bruises. Both
were dismissed.
THE BLOOD
Taken from Nature The wild roots and barks that go mto the
composition of one of the oldest and best known blood tonics are
mostly gathered by the Indians on our reservations brought or
shipped to Dr. Pierce's Laboratory in Buffalo, N. Y. Over fifty
ears ago Dr. Pierce put up an alterative tonic without the use of
ilcohol that soon became known all over the world.
The spring is the time of the year we should put our house in
order. We're run down after a hard winter after grippe, colds,
catarrh. It's time to take Dr. Pieroe's Golden Medical Discovery,
purely vegetable and free from alcohol or narcotics. It will search
out impure and poisonous matter and drive it from the system. Buy
it now in tablets or liquid.
It will clear the skin; eczema, pimples, rash, blotches will dry up
and disappear; boils, carbuncles and other evidences of tainted blood
will pass away, never to appear again.
Dr. Pierce discovered 50 years ago, that Nature has provided
freely for these needs of her children and that in her laboratory were
the remedies. Extracts of Queen's root, Stone root, Black Cherry
bark and Bloodroot, as prepared, combined and preserved without
a'cotul, in Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, constitute the most
effective and certain tonic, alterative and tissue-rebuilding remedy
ever offered to the public.
