Burchard, policeman, resigned rather than face charges before the city council. The charges had been set for hearing yesterday, hut the resignation disposed of the matter as far as the city council was concerned. Commissioner Butler, however, voiced his opposition to the council ignoring charges because a police man resigns. "I believe that a record of the evi dence should be taken for use in fu ture contingencies," he suggested. "I know of a case of a policeman who resigned under these circum stances and later was reinstated." Police Commissioner Ringer an nounced that he would attach a copy of the charges to Burchard's personal record in tne cruet s omce FREE TILL SATURDAY DELICIA ICE CREAM AND SUNSHINE CAKE UNION OUTFIT'G CO.

TWO MEN FINED $1,000 EACH ON LIQUOR CHARGES Reiger Brothers Plead Guilty to Violation of Reed Amend ment; Others Are Un der Indictment. Federal Judge Woodroueh yester day afternoon fined two men $1,000 each and another $50 and costs on a charge of violating the Reed amend ment. At the last sitting of the federal grand jury indictments were re turned against Oscar and Nathan Reiger, wholesale liquor dealers of Kansas City; Charles A. McFadden, a Kansas Lity drayman; Aaron Lowey, now in the Douglas county jail, and Leroy Pegeau, Howard Goulding and Earl K. Buck, Omaha men, out on bond. Feeling that they were caught with the goods on them, the Reiger brothers appeared before Judge Woodrough, acknowledged that they sold liquor to come into Nebraska and pleaded guilty to the charges in the indictment. I hey were each fined $1,000, which they paid. As mitigating circumstances, Oscar Reiger pleaded that he was 26 years old, had been a soldier for IS months arid that he did not know that it was a crime to sell liquor that was ultimately to be transported into a dry state- Delivered Liquor. McFadden, the drayman, through his attorney, asserted that he hauled the liquor from the store of the Reiger brothers, taking it to a hotel, where it was turned over to a port er, who in turn, delivered it to Lowey, the bootlegger, he bringing it on to Omaha, where it is charged that it was delivered to Pegeau and Buck, the Omaha men. McFadden was let off easy on ac count of claiming that he did not know that he was violating a law and that he did not know that the liquor was to have been shipped out of Missouri. The three Omaha men, it is un derstood by Attorney Allen, will plead guilty to the charges in the in dictment some day this week. The indictment is said to be faulty in this, that it fails to charge that an offense against the govern ment was committed by any of the defendants.

Following the publication in The Bee that the city commissioners de voted their exclusive time and ener gy Monday to a tempestuous dis cussion of the Leavenworth street repaving proposition, to the exclu sion of other important and press ing matters, and ignoring the popu lar demand for an investigation of the drowning of four school children at Riverview park last Thursday, Mayor Smith yesterday morning, nearly a week after the tragedy, of fered a resolution directing Com missioner Falconer to make a com plete report on the subject. Severe and bitter criticism on the part of the parents of the victims have been directed at the mayor and Commissioners Falconer and Ring er, who are charged with neglect and indifference in connection with the management of the park sys tem and police department. No Physicians Ready. . Mr. Falconer is blamed for allow ing the children to venture into 15 feet of water with leaky boats and Mr. Ringer is held responsible for neglecting to have the pulmotor in working condition. If the lung motor had been in shape and a city physician had arrived promptly on the scene, the life of one of the vic tims at least could have been saved, according to the opinion of those who witnessed the catastrophe. 1 here was no physician at the police station when the emergency call was sent in. He arrived at the park three quarters of an hour after the call was received, it is said. The dead bodies remained on the bank of the pond without medical at tention until the city physician ar rived, while indignant spectators denounced the seeming indifference and neglect. Preparing Report Mr. Falconer declared heVas pre paring a report on the drowning. The extent of Mr. Ringer's efforts to explain his part in connection with the tragedy has been to an nounce that pulmotors were no good. Commenting outside of the coun cil on the Riverview affair, Mr. Fal coner stated that the boats were leaky, but he did not believe they were more leaky than the average park boats. He added that the boats were in the control of the conces sionaire of the park. He also be lieved that the elders who super vised the outing last Thursday should have exercised greater cau tion. He has already explained his version of the pulmotor feature of the case by stating that he does not keep a pulmotor at Riverview park until the swimming pool is opened for the season. The use of boats on the pond at Riverview has been discontinued. Holdup Is Reported. P. F. Miller, Conant hotel, was held up and robbed at 11:30 p. m., Monday, by two men at 120 North Twenty-fifth street of $80, according to a report made to police.

My HEART and My HUSBAND Adele Garrison's New Phase of Revelations of a Wife Why Madge Was Frightened at the Situation. Kenneth Stqckbridge's tired face ongntened with a smile as he caught sight of our party. But be yond the smile and a bow he made no ettort to speak to us. even though the table to which the waiter had escorted his pastry was very near our own. Of course we realized at once the reason for his constraint. It was evident in his wife's attitude. She included us all in a curt, unsmiling nod, then dropped frowningly into a seat, paying no attention, but star ing moodily at her plate. ane was in one ot her worst moods. One could see it not only in her manner, but in the tiehteneH lips and deepened pallor of her hus band, and the worried looks of the elderly man and woman, who, to gether with two younger women near Milly Stockbridge's own age, made up the group at their table. "Little Sweetie's pape and mamma and fond sisters are with us tonight," cess wean murmered audaciously, but after my first start of dismav I realized that the people at the other table could not possibly have heard her. She has the trick of speaking in an almost inaudible tone, vet managing to make herself compre hended by the person she is ad dressing. Bess Dean Observes. I was relieved, however, when in anotherminute the orchestra struck up a highly syncopated selection, which made it possible for one's next neighbor to shout the most dangerous secrets without the slight est chance of having them over heard. "You know, I think there's going to be fireworks," Bess Dean went on, guilelessly pretending to be ab sorbed in buttering a roll. There was the naive enjoyment of a child at a circus in her voice and man ner, and I realized that while she might have generous, sensible mo ments in which she would give any aid in her power to her harassed principal, yet her general attitude toward the domestic tragedy of Kenneth and Milly Stockbridge was that of a spectator, who did not much care whether she were amused or shocked so long as the drama remained interesting. I was not certain how much she knew or guessed concerning Milly Stockbridge's insane and absurd jealousy of me, which had so nearly proved a tragedy upon the night of the reception to Dicky at the prin cipal's home. Nor did I care par ticularly except for my fear that through some inadvertent look or gesture Dicky might suspect the truth. He had bent toward Miss Dean as she spoke, and I saw a look of surprise flash into his face. A Cruel Complaint. "Fireworks?" he repeated won deringly. "Pipe the thundercloud at your right" Miss Dean went on mis chievously. "Kenny's been doing something he hadn t orter. Perhaps he didn't give the poodle the proper amount of calorics or whatever you call 'em in his evening meaL At any rate, the missus is on the warpath, and if things don't go just her way just you get ready to dodge the silver! Shell start heaving em at Kenny, but she has a woman's aim, ; and you're about the right distance for an innocent bystander. She was dimpling adorably as she talked, and Dicky laughed heartily at PROGRESSIVE Omaha is one of the most progressive cities in the United States. It is one of the wealthiest cities in the country, it is the largest direct-ship pri mary Grain Market in the world and is the natural distributing point for the world's richest agri cultural district. Established in 1856 this bank has progressed with the city. Our service has always met the needs of progressive firms and in dividuals, and in the same way we can also serve you to your satis faction. We offer you personal atten tion to your requirements. what he evidently accepted as auda cious nonsense. But I took ad vantage of his absorption to mur mur a worried question in the ear of Alice Holcombe on the other side of me. "Do you think we ought to get out of here?" "We can't," she responded prompt ly, "without attracting attention both from Milly and the public, which we don't want. You see, we've al ready ordered, and the waiter will be here in a minute or two with our food. No, there's nothing to do but to sit tight. There's one consola tion, her people are all with her. With them all around her they can repress her if she goes beyond bounds. Just listen to her. That's an old trick of hers, to worry the life out of her husband and her relatives until they take her to some place of this kind she loves gayety of any sort and then proceed to let loose all the meanness that's in her." From the other table came the confirmation of her words. Milly Stockbridge's voice was raised shrilly. "For heaven's sake, Ken, don't slouch like that in your chair. I should think you could manage to sit up straight even if you can't stand that way. You just do it on purpose to annoy me." (Continued Tomorrow.) Police Asked to Find Girls; $54 Missed at Emery Home Th nnlire have been asked to lo cate Grace McKenzie, 24 years old, and Edna Hillman, 29 years old, fnrmeflv emnloved as domestics in the home of William Emery, 3202 South Twenty-third street.
