TW Cominff of Baby Mark th Ad
vent of Glorious Future
Scientists say Kreat stress should be taiti
upon tha remarkable influence which the
mother' happy pre-natal disposition ha
upon the health and future of the genera
tion to come.
There is a splendid preparation women
for over half a century have applied be
fore the stork's arrival, known as Mother's
Friend. This is a most grateful, penetrat
ing remedy that at once softens and
soothes the myriad of broad, flat abdominal
muscle under the skin of the abdomen.
By its reuular use during the period the
nerves, tendons and cords are relaxed and
there is an absence of nausea, bearing
down pains, strain and general discomfort
mora often than otherwise experienced
when nature is unaided.
By the use of Mother's Friend night and
morning the muscles relax with ease when
baby comes, the time at the crisis is short
er and pain and danger is naturally avoided.
Write the Bradfleld Regulator Company,
Dept. E, Lamar Building, Atlanta, Georgia,
for their Motherhood Book, and obtain a
bottle of Mother's Friend from the drug
gist, by all means, and get into condition
to meet the crisis. Adv.

at Broken Bow this week," said
Commissioner Manley, of the Cham
ber of Commerce, who has just re
turned from the meeting.
"Delegates from the western and
central parts of the state reported
that crop conditions were never bet
ter at this season of the year than
they now are and that retail trade
in every line is booming. Pros
perity is in the air everywhere.
"According to the reports made
by the delegates regarding local con
ditions in their respective towns the
out-in-the-state municipalities are
leading Omaha proportionately in
the extent of their building and pub
lic improvement programs.
"Nearly every town in the state
is now in the midst of a building
boom and nearly every town has
an extensive p'aving enterprise under
way. Many of the smaller towns
are adding such public improvements
as water works and sanitary sewer
systems and the number of modern
school buildings projected is sur
prising." M. E. Smith & Co. Entertain

Stupidity of Police
May Result in Death
of Mrs. Thomas Brown
Wealthy and Respected Woman Arrested As Keeper of
. Disorderly House Forced to Lie On Floor of Jail
Cell "To Await Examination Under Detention
Home Ordinance" Dunn Blames Detectives, But
Ringer and Eberstein Declare They "Have Nothing
To Say."
Mrs. Thomas Brown, 54 years old,
508 North Twenty-first street, active
church worker, prominent club wo
man, philanthropist and widow of a
former Omaha business man, was
held in the city jail Thursday night
like a woman of the street to be ex
amined under Commissioner Ring
er's and Dr. Palmer Findley's De
tention hme ordinance.
After spending the night in a cell
in the men's section of the jail, Mrs.
Brown was prostrated and yester
day morning was taken to the Bish
op Clarkson Memorial hospital. She
is in a very serious condition.
Mrs .Brown's home was invali d
at 2 o'clock yesterday morning by
Detectives Herdzine and Armstrong
without a warrant. The officers en
tered her room while she was sleep
ing and told her she would have to
go to the police station.
Detective Herdzine, who is said to
have been drunk, refused to leave
the room while Mrs. Brown made
her toilet. When her son, Thomas
Brown, jr., interfered and put the
officer out, the detective returned,
placed Mr. Brown under arrest and
remained in the room while Mrs.
Brown was forced to put on het
Vrlothes in his presence.
Mr. Brown, who is a soldier, just
returned from France, was a medical
student at the University of Wiscon
sin when he enlisted in the army.
He was charged with interfering
with an officer.

a disorderly house. It is said some
whisky glasses were found on the
table. Upon learning that Mrs.
Brown owned the house, they
just forced their way into her home,
which is located a short distance
from the Cass street residence.
In spite of her proestations, Mrs
Brown was taken to the city jail

Sharp
and charged with being the keeper
of a common and ill-governed
house, although she lived a halt
block distant from the Cass street
house with her son and 'daughter,
Miss Dorothy, now at school in
Europe.
Mrs. Brown, who has been in
failing health during the last year,
was not even allowed to rest the
remainder of the night in the ma
tron's ward. She was thrown into
a cell in the compartment where
men prisoners are kept and refused
bond.
She was told she would be held
for examination to determine
whether or not she should be com
mitted to the Women's Detention
home.
Immediately upon the arrival of
Defective Chief Dunn at the police
station yesterday he ordered the
woman sent to the matron's ward
until he could investigate. She was
carried up the steps at the police
station on a stretcher. She was un
able to walk as a result of a sprained
knee, which she suffered when the
keeper at the city jail roughly
pushed her in her cell. No medical
attention was offered her untl Chief
Dunn called the physician.
Mrs. Brown then was carried out
of the police station on a stretcher
and conveyed to the hospital in an
ambulance. The family physician
and her son are at the bedside.
The woman's son declared that
Detective Herdzine was intoxicated
when he came to their house.
Will Prosecute Officer.
Mrs. Brown's case was continued
in police court yesterday because
she was unable to appear. Attorney
Lloyd A. Magney, who is represent
ing her, declared that he was going
to prosecute Herdzine and Arm
strong to the very limit.
"I shall file charges with the city
I commission and insist that these
I m a r c n l- i o ri A n A fcrtrM tils ( r r r- a "
said Mr. Magney. "I do not think
I shall institute a damage suit, be
cause Mrs. Brown has plenty of
money. However, I am going to
prosecute to the very limit and see
that these men 'pay the extreme
penalty for this brutal and outrag
eous conduct."
Says Officer Was Drunk.
"I will swear to the city commis
sion and before any court that Herd
zine was absolutely drunk when he
came to our house Friday morning,"
declared Mr. Brown. "Naturally I
was infuriated when Herdzine re
fused to leave the room while my
mother dressed. While I struggled
with the detective I noticed the odor
of whisky on his breath."
When Chief Dunn heard of Mr.
Brown's attempt to eject Herdzine
from his mother's room he declared
the young man had done exactly
the proper thing. "He should have
knocked his head off," was the com
ment of Chief Dunn.
Chief Dunn declared that follow
ing a complaint received about the
house at 2106 Cass street he instruct
ed the detectives to watch the place
and report to him what they saw.
"I did not tell the men to raid the
heme without a warrant," said the
chief of detectives, "and I said noth
ing to them about invading Mrs.
Brown s residence, Chief Lunn ex
pressed himself as extremely sorry
for Mrs. Brown and her son and
daughter. He condemned the tac
tics employed by his men.
We feel that Chief Dunn is sin
cere in vthe expressions of regret
and sympathy, . said Attorney
Magney, "I believe the chief of
detectives will recommend the sus
pension of Herdzine and Armstrong
"Nothing to Say."
"Have you anything to say re
girding the arrest of Mrs. Brown,
or the circumstances of the case?"
was asked of Chief Eberstein.
I haven t received a report on
the case yet. I have nothing to
say," replied the chief, who was not
inclined to state when he would re
ceive the report or when he would
make a statement.
Police Commissioner Ringer was
similarly questioned, and he was
more brief in his words than the
chief.
"Nothing to say," was the response
of the police commissioner.
Three of Girls Fined.
Judge Foster fined Miss Applegate
and Miss Baldwin $25 an costs each.
Williams and Miss Reed were fined
$50 and costs each. Miss Kubat was
discharged.
The accused were adjudged guilty
on the testimony of Detectives
Herdzine and Armstrong, whose
stories were in direct opposition to
those told by the other witnesses.
A whisky bottle containing a small
quantity of liquor and several drink
ing glasses were offered in evidence,
which the detectives declared they
seized in the raid. The prisoners
asserted they were seated in the
room talking when the officers
forced their way into their midst.
They declared that one of the room
ers had taken the whisky from a
friend down town after accompany
ing him home in an intoxicated con
dition. The accused denied that they were
drinking and declared the whisky
had been left on the table only a
short while before the officers en
tered the house.

Washington, June 6. The resolu

department to furnish the senate
with a copy of the German peace

inquiry into the charges made on

after a substitute resolution by Sen

Hitchcock charged the substitute
would not authorize the investiga
