Policeman Prefers to
Resign Than Answer
Charge Before Council
Foster F. 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

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.

BELATED PROBE
OF DROWNING IS
ASKED BY SMITH
i
Week After Deatfv of Four
Children In Riverview Park
Mayor Decides Investiga
tion Necessary.
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.

needs of progressive firms and in

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."
