Oaaaha, NaU, 0m Investigation of Bribery Charges Against Police Officers Favored by Mayor Chief Executive of City Says Thorough Probe Should Be Made at Once Confessed Thieves Who Accuse Detectives Reiterate Charges and Say Eberstein Promised Them Immunity. v Mayor Smith has expressed himself in favor of a rigid investigation of charges of accepting bribes made against Cvty Detectives John Murphy and John Psznowski by Wil liam McKenna and Lowell C. Jones, confessed automobile thieves. "I favor an investigation at once," said Mayor Smith, "and if the detectives or any other public official are found to have accepted a bribe, they will not hold their offices long." Ringer Is Silent. Police Commissioner Ringer, on his return to Omaha yes terday morning, was asked for a statement in connection with the bribery charges. "I have nothing whatever to say on this matter," was the brief response of the police commissioner. "But don't you want to say something as to what action you will take, or what you know about the affair?" was put to the commissioner. "I tell you I will not talk about the matter now." "Have you known of this case before the story appeared in The Bee Wednesday?" "Nothing to say now." The commissioner's evasiveness was similar to the non committal answers of Chief of Police Eberstein. Mr. Ringer declined to say that he had not been apprised of the matter, and he also declined to give any intimation as to what he in tends to do. Chief Eberstein is still out of the city. Soldiers Lose All Desire to Sleep as They 'Near Nebraska Des Moines, la., May 29. Spe cial). "Hey, brakie, ain't this Ne braskie?" A doughboy stuck his head out of the car window. The special trains carrying the 355th infantry, 89th di vision, "Nebraska's Own," had just pulled in. It was 4 a. m. Everyone was asleep. $ Another window opened. "Yu poor stiff. Don't you know I-o-way when you see it? This is the 'smoky village.' " , "Yep, that's so," the first return ed. "But don't get so huffy with them remarks. Yu forget the time when 1 closed your glims back there in " Here a sleep-looking lieutenant pushed his head out of another car window down the line. "Cut out that noise," he said. "Don't you fel lows know this is time for sleep?" The conversation ceased. The doughboys continued, how ever, to "lamp" the "smoky city." It was well known that there was a fort there, even a cantonment in other words, one of "them things" that were used by military authori ties to round up the men when the big war started for Uncle Sam. The ride from Chicago had been a hot one. Most of the time the two trains carrying the 355th in fantry had been behind schedule trying to catch up with the special carrying'the 341st machine gun bat talion. It had been a "hot" trip. But now they were on their way home. "When do we hit Council Bluffs?" the question was asked in a half whisper. No one replied. "Gee I'm glad we're going to see that big bridge over the old Muddy again. You never would have thought we w6uld see it agajn if you had been with us up there piping the Ger mans along the Meuse." ' "Cut out that stuff," the second "loot" interrupted. "We don't want people around here in I-o-way to think we are wimmeni" His voice ynOTO -PMY OFFERINGS FOR.'

San Francisco, May 29. With the circulation 'of referendum petitions against the national prohibition amendment actually begun in Okla homa and Nebraska, 11 states now are attacking the amendment by ref erendum. Theodore A. Bell, attor ney for the California Grape Pro tective association, was informed here today. Executives of the asso ciation announced that nothing fur ther will be done in Oregon, where a writ of mandate against the peti tions was sustained on the ground that the action' of the legislature in ratifying the national amendment was a resolution and not a law and therefore not subject to referendum. The Washington supreme court held that such resolution was referend able. In Nevada the circulation of the petitions is being held up by a court action. Today's decision of the Ne vada supreme court upholding the state prohibition law has no connec tion with the referendum issue, it was announced. The other states where petitions are being circulated are California, Washington, New Mexico, Colo rado, Missouri, Ohio, Arkansas, Michigan and Maine, Mr. Bell said. State Laws Different. The states involved hae different referendum laws, but in none of them is court action necessary in order to institute a referendum, Mr. Bell said. The referendum may be resisted in most of them through mandamus proceedings against the certification of the petitions by the secretary of state or holding that a national con stitutional amendment is not subject to state referendum, he said. Before the petitions are filed ac tion may be brought to prevent the attorney general of the state trom giving them a title, as was done in Washington and Oregon, Mr. Bell said. Mr. Bell had not been advised that court action had been taken in re gard to the' referendum in states other than Oregon, Washington and Nevada.
