SUES 20 FORMER
SAL00NMEN FOR
RUIN OF HUSBAND
Mrs. Marie Larsen Alleges
That Anton Larson Spent
$2,000 in One Month;
Asks $50,000 Damages.
Mrs. Marie Larsen tiled an
amended suit yesterday in district
court asking $50,000 damages from
20 former" saloonkeepers and bonds
men for the alleged debaunching of
her husband, Anton M. Larsen
The Larsens live on West Center
street and were "in the limelight"
some months ago when an im
mense amount of beer, and whisky
was taken from their place by de
tectives. -Mrs.
Larsen alleges in her pett
tion that the Fred Krug Brewing
company stored 1,500 cases of beer
and about 1,000 gallons of whisky
on Larsens place just before the
prohibition act went into effect.
Started in 19l6.
She says that at that time her
husband had become so weak that
he was utterly unable to keep from
drink and bought and stored 25
cases of beer and 45 gallons of
whisky at his home just before the
Drohibition act went into effect.
Her husband stafted drinking in
1916, Mrs. Larsen says. Before
that time he had been thrifty and
industrious and had an income of
$5,000 from his dairy business.
Went to Kansas City.
Some time after prohibition be
gan in Nebraska he went to Kansas
City, his wife says, because C. S.
Rockholm. who had operated a sa
loon here, had opened one in Kansas
City. In a single month, I.Irs. Lar
sen, says her husband paid $2,000 in
checks and cash over Rockholm's
bar for liquor which he consumed
and for other liquor which, she al
leges, was sold to the bootlegging
trade in Omaha.
Her husband, she alleges, finally
became in such condition that he
was sent to the hospital for the in
sane in Lincoln where he r' named
three months. She says he is a com
plete physical, moral and financial
'"wreck." 1
Men Who Are Sued.
The men sued are all either for
mer- Omaha saloon keepers or
bondsmen for saloon keepers. They
are as follows: C. S. Stockholm, J.
11. Davis, Henry M. Miller, Fred
Krug Brewing company, Otto Vor-
satz, Charles borensen, Chris Neil-
sen, Owen, McCaffrey, 'W. J. Mc
Caffrey M. M. Bushman, George
Rief, John F. Ragan, William Un-
zicker, E. M. Storms, E. C. Gunnell,
John Nittler, Helmer Neilsen and
Daniel Hedgren.
Auto Club in Favor of
Parallel -With -Curb
Parking of Motors
The Omaha Automobile club, ac
cording to an announcement made
by Secretary S. E. Smyth, favors
parallel-with-curb parking of auto
mobiles, as provided for in the pro
posed new traffic ordinance.
There is one point which the club
would like to see changed in the re
districted district, and that is to al
low diagonal parking of cars at both
curbs, for any length of time, on
Douglas street, from "Fourteenth to
Twentieth streets. Douglas is a wide
street with no car line, and will ac
commodate many automobiles," said
Mr. bmyth. -
lhe Automobile club would like
to have The Bee support this con
tention of double parking on Doug
las street. Jit is a reasonable re
quest. Motorists should be given
parking space on streets where the
width, with absence of car lines,
precludes traffic congestion." he
added. " i
Community Service to Be
Continued After Peace
Community service is the out
growth of the results obtained by
War Camp Community service dur
ing the period of the war. Many
communities have been so developed
and united in their efforts to stimu
late the morale of the army that
now they are going to preserve their
organizations and stimulate the
morale of the community in the
same way that the morale of the
army "was improved.
I he function of Community serv
ice is to co-ordinate and stimulate
the activities of existing agencies
and to use every facility in the city
before creating new ones to use
existing organizations that are fitted
for and have the funds to conduct
the work which is needed.
Film Magnate and "Wid's"
Editor Visit In Omaha
Jesse L1. Lasky, vice president of
the Famous 'Players Lasky Picture
corporation, and F. C. "Wid" Gun
ning, editor of "Wid's" magazine,
stopped off between trains Thursday
to meet H. M. Thomas, manager
of the Rialto theater of this city.
Both men were greatly interested
in the fight the motion picture men
have jut won in this state against
the proposed censorship bill and
wanted to hear about it first hand
from Thomas, one of the leaders in
the battle. , i
Both Mr. Lasky and Mr. Gun
ning are of the opinion that the
year started will bring forth better
and bigger pictures than have ever
before been produced. The condi
tion of the country's being released
from war time restrictions has
aided the picture business in a great
many ways and many of the larg
er companies are just starting now
into real production work of this
year.
Claims He Was Thrown From

that he was thrown from an upper
berth in a PuUaian car while en
route from Alliance to Anselmo.

Hindu Philosopher to Wed
Pretty Omaha Girl in June
A trip through
the mystic orient
as the bride of i .
Hindu dreamer
and philosopher.
k is to be the honey-
moon of. Miss
Minnie Jensen, at
tractive Omaha -girl,
if plans --ire
carried out as
planned. Miss Jen
sen, who is the
adopted daughter
of Isaac Kahn,
wealthy Omaha
merchant, two
months ago ob
tained a license to
wed Dr. Kesheva
Deva Shastri, a ,
Hindu, whom she
met in Omaha
two years ago.
She now an
nounces that Dr.
Shastri will come
to Omaha in June,
when they will be '
married. Then
they will go to .
India. Dr. Shas
tri has already se
cured His passport
to his native land
from the British
consul in New
York, , according
to Miss Jensen,
who has also written the British
consul for a passport.
Expects Passport Soon.
"You see, when I wed Dr. Shas
tri, I will also be a British subject,
explained Miss Jensen, "so I must
get my passport through the British
consul. Dr. Shastri wrote me just
what information to send, and I'm
expecting my passport soon."
Miss Jensen is wearing an engage
ment ring of unique oriental design,
finely engraved with Arabic and
Sanskrit lettering.
She ' recently received a shawl,
made in the Vale of Cashmere,
which has figured among the treas
ured possessions of Dr. Shastri's
family for many generations. A
purse of fantastic design, contain
ing a huge, uncut garnet, is the
latest present received by Miss Jen
sen from Dr; Shastri."
"He fairly worships me," she ex
plained happily. ,"He writes me
one and sometimes two letters every
day, beautiful, finely written letters
of three and four sheets, and on
Sunday he always sends a letter by
special delivery.
Think what a wonderful life it
will be, living in wonderful India
with such a man as he. I can fairlv
picture the splendor of that oldest
country, with its temples, its jewels,
its brilliant tropical foliage, its holy
rivers.
Yet it is not so much the lure of
Kipling's India or perhaps even
her Hindu dreamer that seems most
to appeal to the happy Omaha girl.
She gives the intellectual side of her
intended marriage much thought.
Dr. bhastn is a thinker, an ldeal-
Divorced Prom
and He From
Holmans, Muchly Married,
Grants Decree to Wife After Hearing Testimony
Husband Says She Hit Him With Pieces of Furniture.
Amanda S. HoArnan obtained a di
vorce from her third husband and
Edgar F. Hdlman was divorced from
his second wife when Judge Troup,
sitting in divorce court yesterday,
granted a decree to Mrs. Holman.
He is a special officer for the
Union Pacific railway. Their hbme
s at 1411 bouth Iwenty-third street
Mrs. Holman testified that they
were married in Council Blurts be
cause they could not be married in
Omaha for the reason that Mr. Hol
man had been divorced from his
first wife only a few weeks.
Their marriage took place in 1907.
Their two little girls, 9 and 10 years
old, were in court and were placed
on the witness stand. Both testified
to seeing "papa" choke "mamma"
and to the loud language and swear
ing going oh about the house.
Mrs. Holman testified that her

building the required tax on one
power boat 30 feet in length.
lhe boat was recently purchased
from a resident of East Omaha by
the Omaha local council of Boy
Scouts for the transportation of sup
plies from the Douglas street bridge
to Camp Gifford, seven miles south
on the river. It is a regular craft,
according to Mr. Hoyt, and will be
launched next week.
'All we need is a name and a bot
tle of pop to christen it, and then
all will be plain sailing unless we
hit something," said Mr. Hoyt.
Camp Director L. N. Bexton has
been made "skipper."

ist," she declared, and her eyes were
bright. "He, lives a life on a higer
plane. In India he is a great states
man. He is a graduate of three
medicaf colleges alone. Even now,
he is writing a series of books on
his impressions of America. He is
in New York representing the India
Society for Home rule."
Dr. Shastri recently wrote a book
on Hindu Dietics, for which Miss
Jensen wrote a preface. She is a
convert of Indian philosophy, read
ing much of the time.
Likes Indian Literature.
"When life goes on smoothly, one
is apt to become shallow," declared
Miss Jensen, "but in dark moments
it is Indian literature which soothes
and satisfies."
Commenting on oriental-occidental
marriages Miss Jensen said:
" "I believe in most cases the con
tracting parties are happy. The
orient is much misrepresented by
missionaries who give the darkest
side of life there, that they may ob
tain money for more work among
that element. They entirely neglect
the wonderful intellectual develop
ment of eastern countries. Of course,
Dr. Shastri is a Hindu, and Hin
dus belong to the white race.
The engagement of Miss Jensen
and Dr. Shastri has never been for
mally announced, according to Isaac
Kahn, father of Miss Jensen by
adoption. Mr. Kahn does not deny
that the engagement exists, however,
but will make no comment on the
marriage. j

"He cursed me because it
rained," she said. "He threw bread
and meat in my face. Once he spit
in my face because I didn't walk to
suit him."
She said he once remarked that he
"wished she was under the sod."
Mr. Holman declared on the wit
ness stand that his wife "could swear
as easy as she could wink." Once,
he said, she came and turned out
the light while he was reading the
paper.
On one occasion, he declared, she
hit him with a stove lid lifter, and
on another occasion she hit him with
a dining room chair.' he testified.
The Holmans have considerable
property, which they have arranged
out of court to divide. The mother
was given the custody of the two
little girls.

Thousands Have Discovered
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets the tub
erJtute for calomel are a mild but sura
laxative, and their effect on the liver is '
almost Instantaneous. They are the re
sult of Dr. Edwards's determination not
to treat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. His efforts to banish it brought
out these little olive-colored tablets.
The pleasant little tablets dothe good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take '
boldof the trouble and quickly correct it.
Why care the liver at the expense of tha
teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc
with the gums. Sodo strong liquids. It
Is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr.
Edwards' Olive Tablets take its place.
Afost headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards'
Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy"and
"heavy." Note how they "dearciouded
brain and howthey "perk up" the spirits.
