HUNTLEY WILL
RETURN TO FACE
COURT CHARGES
"Editor of Mediator Says Ac
cusation of Blackmail Will Be
;5 'Adjudicated When Ringer
' : " : Explains About Gambling.
Edwin L. Huntley, editor, of the
'pJ Mediator, a weekly newspaper;
!v" -k against whom charge was filed to
police court yesterday charging' him
V - with attempted blackmail, last night
I t gave out a statement through his
; ' " attorney, Frank R. Keegan, in which
1 1 ' he declared he would return to
L , Omaha as soch as possible to face
- 'the charge.
, . Huntley was in Kansas City when
"the complaint was , filei, which
chanted him with attemptiKtf to col
lilect $100 from James Patterson, pro
. prietor of the Patterson Carnival
' eompanv, on the plea that if Patter
J aon paid the money Huntley would
'.. not publish a story exposing the fact
that gambling games were being
' ooerated in connection with the
show at Twenty-first and Paul
streets.
. -The statement reads:
Trying to Slip Buck.
"I have livfd in Omaha for 30
:. years and I do not think it is nec
essary for me to defend myself
against Jim Patterson, who ran a
.collection of gambling games in
Omaha for three days this last week,
1 binder the protection of half a dozen
police officers in uniform. I think
ihe people of Omaha can readily
'understand how Mr. Ringer is try-
,ing to hide behind his ownsins by
varying to slip the buck to me. " (
-i ilf am glad this thing came up,
,nd as quick as I can get back to
Omaha I will report promptly to the
' authorities. If I neve; get anything
else out of this, the advertising is
Certainly worth the money. When
Ir, Ringer, explains to the public
wfiy he permitted, these gamblers to
i.'ruti three days in Omaha and com
'mi, murder on the Ak-Sar-Ben, my
Vase ,will have been' adjudicated.
. .fSo far as Patterson is concerned,
1 m not .interested in him. I solic
ited some of his business and did
.- Jnot get it. He wanted me to sign
itatement that I -would not write
-Jiim up, and I refused to do so. He
fwCuld have gotten the same "write
vtip had he spent some money with
itiniT naner for an, advertisement. Mr.
' Patterson's system of making money
AWm made plain for three days until
ftht newspapers put an end to it.
otion to Dismiss
J iBreWers' Injunction
1 t Denied by U.S. Court
4 I r-'
? New York, May 17. United
.States Judge Augustus N. Hand to
CiJay denied motions made on behalf
TJpf' the government asking for dis
' fiitssal of the injunction suit brought
by the Jacob Hoffman Brewing
' nitany for -the purpose of re
straining federal officials from per
'orming their duties in enforcing
he prohibition- laws of the United
'States. .
The Hoffmann suit is designed to
prevent the government from inter
fering with the manufacture of beer
"containing not more than 2.75 per
cent by weight of alcohol, and chal
lenges the constitutionality of the
wartime prohibition law. The ac
tion is the first of a series of such
units brought by brewing concerns
in this district.
District Attorney Caffey argued
-that the Hoffmann " complaint did
not state sufficient facts to constitute
ia cause of action, that the United
States cannot be sued without its
'.consent, and that the complainant
company had no right to ask the
federal court to enjoin officials from
i. performing their duty of enforcing
Maws of the United States.

Mother With Four Children :
Wants Husband to Return
I A TV's v rl "
Mrs. Richard A. Turner, 3206
South Twenty-third street, has
asked The Bee to help her locate
her husband, who left home four
months ago and has not been heard
from. i "M
Four children, the oldest 11 years,
want their "daddy" to come back.
Mrs. Turner stated that her hus
band went away in January in a
new Ford automobile. She says
their home relations were agrebte.
Since January she has taken in
washing to keep the home together,
hoping that Turner would return as
unexpectedly as he went away. She
whispered one particular reason why
her husband should be home soon.
' The Associated Charities has
helped the family, and , now the
Board of Public Welfare is co-operating
in an effort to locate the
husband. '
"Their little home is as neat as
can be,'; said Mrs. Kate Kennedy of
the welfare offices. "I do hope that
this little mother will find her hus
band. She . has struggled along
since January without complaining,
but now she feels that Turner should
be located."
GREAT ARCH TO
BE ERECTED FOR
OMAHA WELCOME
Path j Over i Which Returned
Heroes Will March to Be
Strewn With flowers; Date
Announced Later.
Flowers will be strewn in the path
of Omaha's heroes as th?y pass un
der a triumphal arch," when they are
officially welcomed home on a date
notyet determined, according to ten-
Itative plans made last night by a
auictlllK ui mucus in uic tuuucu
chamber of the city hall. Fourth of
July was rejected as the date for
the celebration, since it was the
opinion that the soldiers deserved a
day for themselves on which all
stores and shops will be closed.
Mayor Smith, who presided, will
appoint a committee of 10 to make
definite arrangements for the cele
bration. It will likely be held be
fore the middle of September, and
late enough in the summer so that
the majority of the soldiers will
have returned. . '-
Plans for Fourth.
A committee in charge of the In
dependence day celebration at Fon
tenelle park stated that it would go
ahead with its plans and give the
boys a treat on the Fourth.
Robert Cowell, Randall Brown, J.
D. Weaver, Captain Adams, Rev. J.
Albert Williams and Rabbi Cohn
were among1 the speakers. r' Rabbi
Cohn told of the big celebration he
witnessed last month in Cincinnati,
O., and suggested the arch and the
flowers. A suggestion was also
made to give the boys a good "feed"
the Auditorium. Xhis probably
in
will be rejected in favor of a parade
of the veterans. "She day selected
will be made a city holiday.

'Twas "OIL" ran the hip across the sea
That carred our boys to Victory. i
The Crude made the Gas sending planes to the sky
Showing the Hun that we stood aceahigh.
Without this oil, there was not a chance
For the monstrous tank and the ambulance. I
And now that Peace will reign supreme
Don't wait for the "Ship" of your golden dream,
But act, as a man who uses his head,
His mind, his eye he is not dead,
But owns an interest in a Company
That supplied the fuel for Liberty.
