South Side PRICE OF BULK HOGS AT S. SIDE MARKET HIGH Average Brings Than Run of Stock Higher Prices i Ever Before. Paid Hogs, still 'upward bound, reached $20.35 per hundred on the South Side market Wednesday morning. This is 5 cents below the highest price ever paid for hogs on this market. In September of last year a record of $20.40 was set. For the first time in the history of the South Side market the average went above the $20 mark. Both the bulk of the hogs and the average brought high er prices than were ever before paid on this market. No adequate explanation of the steady increase in hog prices since the annulment of all government re strictions can be made by either the commission men or the packers. Many of thpse interested in the pro duction and marketing of hogs as cribe the steadily increasing prices to a prevalent and widespread be lief that a shortage of hogs exists and will soon manifest itself on the market. Receipts for this season are but little below the average of other years, but it is pointed out that, -the prevailing high prices are inducing hog raisers to market all their crop before a decline begins. Sixteen thousand hogs were receiv ed on the South Side market Wed nesday. Witnesses in Socha Manslaughter Case Withhold Testimony An obvious inclination on the part of the witnesses to withold evidence of an incriminatory nature marked the preliminary 'hearing of John Petroski and Jacob Kobielak, charged with manslaughter in con nection with the death of A. Socha, who was inflated with compressed air on the canning floor of the Cudahy Packing company, March 27. and died two days later. The hearing was held before Police Judge Fitzgerald Wednesday morning at the South Side police court. - Decision in the case will be given this morning. The charge will either be dismissed or the two men will be bound over to the dis trict court on the charge of man slaughter. Of seven witnesses called to the stand only Captain John Briggs of fered testimony of a nature that would sustain the charge lodged against the two men. He stated that Petroski had admitted placing the mouth of the hose to the anal opening of Socha. With the ex ception of Captain Briggs, Special Police Officer Peter Jolley and Dr. H. T. Allingham, all the other wit nesses offered their testimony through an interpreter. Police Chauffeur Prevents Negro From Knife Attack Prompt action on the part of Po lice Chauffeur Earl Risk is believed to have saved Detective Francl from serious injuries and possible death Wednesday morning about 11 o'clock. Suspicious actions on the part of Charles David, colored, giving his address as Gilmore, Neb., caused De tective Francl to take him into cus today at Twenty-fourth and N streets. He was conducting the ne gro to the station. The black sud denly slipped his hand into his pock et and withdrew it grasping a long, broad-bladed knife. The blade flew open by pressure on a spring. Risk, who was walking behind the negro, grasped the negro's arm md wrested the knife from him. When searched a razor also was found in possession of David. Mother of 11 Children Asks Immediate Divorce Mrs. Margaret Wolf, mother of 11 children and a wife for 20 years, filed suit yesterday in district court for a separation froni George Wolf. She declares that she "has en dured the hellish conduct of the de fendant for several years but can endure it no longer." He has repeatedly brandished a revolver, she says, and threatened to kill her and members of the fam ily. The wife says he "takes pride in terrorizing her and the children "and frequently gratifies his brutal tendencies by placing them in abject fear of death by threatening to kill them." The Wolf home is at Thirty-first and R streets. Wolf is employed by the Morris Packing company and, the petition states, he earns $250 a month. They were married in Omaha in 1899. Seven of their 11 children are still living. The mother asks $30 a week separate maintenance. She also asks two injunctions, one to prevent her husband from with drawing money in the Live Stock National bank and the other to re strain him from molesting her and their children.

Case of Policeman Tried for Bribery Awaits Witnesses Absence of the principal state witness in the trial of Jesse Black before Judge Redick and a jury in district court yesterday afternoon, brought the case to a close for the day at 4:30 o'clock, when Judge1 Redick, at the request of County Attorney Shotwell, issued a bench warrant fqr Gladys Thompson. Mrs. Thompson and Emma Brown escaped from the women's detention home, Twenty-second street and St. Marys avenue. November 29, 1918. and Black, a special policeman at the institution, is on trial, charged with having accepted a bribe of $50 to help them escape. George Thompson, husband of Gladys Thompson, testified yester day afternoon that Black came to his home, 709 North Eighteenth street, November 26, with a note from Mrs. Thompson stating that he should give Black $100 and that Black would then permit her in es cape. He said he gave Black $50 at the time and agreed to give him $50 more at the institution that right. He and Frank Burns, he said, went to the detention home as agreed and offered the $50 in marked bills, which, he testified, Black refused to receive, because, he said, Mrs. Thompson was about to be released "because her blood test was pure." The case will be resumed this morning. Officer of Navy Pay Corps Here to Explain Insurance An officer of the navy pay corps will be in Omaha for several days next week.

Careless Use of Soap Spoils the Hair Soap should be used very careful ly, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and pre pared shampoos contain too much al kali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruin3 it. The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thorough ly. Simply moisten the hair with water and. rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dan druff and fexcssive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluf fy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months.
