SAYS MAN 'SOLD'

for Liquor sale
Druggist Willis Files Counter
Petition Against Peter Loch
Explaining Agreement
With Latter.
Alleging that Peter Loch entered
into an agreement with him prom
ising him protection in the sale of
intoxicating liquors, Bennett G.
Willis, proprietor of the Cuming
Pharmacy, 2206 'Cuming street, yes
terday filed an' answer to Loch's
suit which was filed May 24, in dis
trict court. .;
Loch alleged that he entered into
a partnership with Willis. , He al
leged several hundred dollars to be
due him and asked an accounting
and the appointment of a receiver.
Willis says in his answer that
sonic time m iyi4 Loch, claiming
to have great influence with and con
trol of certain officials and claiming
to be able to give the defendant pro
tection in the sale, purchase and dis
posal of intoxicating liquors which
were to be handled and disposed of
by this defendant under his drug
gist's license, entered into an agree
ment whereby the plaintiff was to
have an interest in the profits arising
from such handling and sale of in
toxicating liquors."
Say3 Paid Thousands.
Willis alleges that he has paid
Loch several thousand dollars in
pursuance of this alleged agreement
and says that finally $700 was agreed
on as the amount to be paid to clear
up their' accounts and that he paid
this.
He says he never recognized any
interest of Loch in the drug store
other than his "rake-off" for his
"pretended protection of the defend-
ant in
liquor."
Regarding Loch's petition that
Pert LeBron he appointed receiver
of tp drug store, Willis say$ LeBron-
is a capable and competent
electrician, but knows nothing
about a drug store. He says the
store is now being conducted wise
ly and economically by himself, a
registered physician, and his wife,
and he alleges a loss would result
from the appointment of a receiver,
for which, he would hold Loch re
sponsible. He denies Loch's right to have
the books examined and asks that
the petition of Loch be dismissed.

HOWE PREDICTS
FURTHER DROP
IN BEEF FRIGES
Does Not Look for Marked
Rise After Bottom Reached;
Receipts Heavy and Ex
ports" Diminish.
That beef prices will continue to
decline for some time and that there
will beno marked advance in the
price of beef when this decline
Ceases, is the opinion of R. C. Howe,
general manager of the Armour
Packing company at the South Side.
Mr. Howe gives four reasons for
arriving at this conclusion: First,
the heavy receipts experienced dur
ing this month; second, the opening
of the grass, cattle season in the
near future; third, the poor demand
for beef products, especially in the
east; and fourth, the lack of export
trade in beef.
Drop of 30 Per Cent.
"There has been an approximate
drop of 30 per cent in beef prices,"
said Mr. Howe, "from the former
high level.
"I can foresee no extreme break
in hog prices. However, we should
be able to buy hogs at cheaper
prices this month than last."
Mr. Howe agrees with M. R. Mur
phy, of the Cudahy packing com
pany, who recently issued a state
ment to the effect that meat and
iard in storage in the United States
was very low. Mr. Murphy said
that on May 1 the storage amounted
to 1,400,000,000 pounds, less ttian
three-fourths of the production for
a single month.
Thieves Get $350.
Frank Kolman. 5501 South Thirty-
sixth street, reported, the theft of
$350 in currency from his trunk to
South Side police, yesterday. Kol
man declared his trunk showed no
signs or having been opened.

Departing materially from her
usual vampire roles, Theda Bara,
in "A Woman There Was," will ap
pear at the Sun today to Saturday.
Judging from the enthusiasm with
which the audiences received the
picture, Miss Bara added another
winner to her list of successes. She
assumes the role of a princess of. the
South Sea Islands and displays won
derful emotional force in expressing
her passionate love for a white mis
sionary. After thwarting the jealous
rage of a native admirer, saving the,
life of the missionary and breasting a
tempestous sea during a typhoon,
the heroine receives a death thrust
at the hands of her pagan followers.

A. L. Keller, secretary and busi

so plentiful, according to Mr. Keller,
that all th strikers will be enabled

At a meeting last Friday contrac

stating that should the demands of
the men be granted building oper

Police Arrest Two
in Connection With
$1,200 Jewelry Theft
Charlie Johns arrd Henry Weg
worth, who were arrested yesterday
afternoon and held for investigation
at Central station, are the two men
who burglarized Harry Fleharty's
home, 4172 Chichgo street, two
months ago and stole $1,200 worth
of jewelry, according to the police.
Johns was identified last night by
Mrs. Fleharty as the man who came
to the front gate of her home on the
afternoon of the robbery and en
gaged her in conversation about
where he could rent a room. In the
meantime, a burglar was ransacking
the house. Both men deny know
ledge of the affair.
Several of the diamonds stolen
from Fleharty had been given him by
Wegworth, police say, in payment
for professional services. Wegworth
has been arrested several times be-
fore. Fleharty is an attorney. In
the loot were several gold watches,
?125 in cash and a box of rare coins.
None of the loot has been dis
covered.
Omaha Man Starts Suit
Against Miss Anna Dodge
H. P. Whitmore, Omaha, began
yesterday a suit in Council Bluffs

of Gen. G. M. Dodge, asking judg
ment for $456.50, claimed in an open
account run by Miss Dodge during
Jjecemner, iyi7, and January, 1-eDru-ary,
March and April. 1918, for the
purchase of art works. A writ of
attachment was ,also asked upon
eight shares of stock in the Council
Bluffs Savings bank owned by Mlss
Dodge, or any other property she
may have in Pottawatamie county.
The suit was filed against "Ann
Dodge of New York," instead of
Miss Anna Dodge, which may inter
rupt the proceedings a bit, as there
is-)no such person involved in the
transaction as "Ann' Dodge.
