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

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." '

"loot" interrupted. "We don't want

ELEVEN STATES
ATTACK DRY ACT
BY REFERENDUM
Nebraska and Oklahoma Lead
ers in Movement Against Pro
hibition Amendment; Peti
tions Stopped in Nevada.
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.
