HOTEL COMPANY
ANSWERS SUIT
FILED BY CITY
-fc Defends Right to Dispose of
1 Garbage From Restaurant
as Permitted by New
State Law.
x'" An answer to the suit brought by
" the city to force downtown hotels
!' and restaurants to turn garbage over
to city collectors was filed in dis
trict court yesterday by Stanley
Rosewater, attorney for the Kitchen
Brothers Hotel company.
That the I'axton hotel is in a po
sition to utilize unconsumed food
and derive a profit from its dispo
sition without allowing it to become
a nuisance is the chief argument con
tained in the answer.
The hog yard in North Omaha,
which has caused residents to
protest to the city council, is
cited as proof that the city did not
come into court with "clean hands"
in the answer, and that Henry Pol
lack, who has contracted with the
city to dispose of all garbage has
not kept his contract.
The constitutionality of House
Roll No. 445, passed by the last leg
islature, permitting businesses that
accumulate garbage as a by-f roduct
to dispose of as they see fit was de
fended by W. M. Giller, nd C. VV.
Speers. counselors for other hotel
and restaurant Interests.
Arguments were completed on
both sides yesterday afternoon,
What Will the City Do With
A Pontoon Bridge, Anyway?
The army motor transport train
which will arrive in Omaha today
will present the city of Omaha
with their equipment for construct
ing pontoon bridges, it was an
nounced yesterday by an officer
traveling in advance of the convoy.
The banks of the Missouri river
were found unsuitable for the train
to cross on their own bridge and
they do not care to carry the equip
ment on their trip to the coast.

Threats by Elmer Thomas and
other members of the "Committee
of 500" to circulate recall petitions
against City Commissioner Zimman
if the recall petitions against Mayor
Smith and Commissioners Ringer,
Towl and Ure are filed were criti
cised yesterday by City Commission
er Ure, former treasurer of the
"Committee of 500."
"Zimman has made good in his
department," said Mr. Ure. "The
mere fact that recall petitions have
been circulated against four of us is
no reason for trying to recall Zim
man. bucn action would De neither
Christian nor politic."
Commissioner Ringer and Mayor
Smith declined to comment on the
threatened recall of Commissioner
Zimman.
"I shall support Zimman for re
election if petitions are filed for his
recall," said Mr. Ure. "He is a
good official. I do not believe in
trying to recall him merely be
cause some people are trying to re
call four of the other commission
ers. People who try to do that are
poorly advised. They have the
wrong idea of city government."
Mr. Ure stands higfh in the coun
cils of the "Committee of 500" and
the people behind this committee.
While Ringer was sponsored, per
haps, more than any of the other
commissioners by the church people,
Ure was a close second in their fa
vor at the election of 1918. Smith
and Towl also stood high in the re
gard of the church element.
Zimman was also one of the "al
lied candidates" and made the race
on the same platform with these
four. Ure is apparently the only
one who is able to forget his own
political troubles long enough . to
help out the only "Allied" candidate
not included on the present recall
petitions.
The Bee's Fund for
Free Milk and Ice ,
Girl Kun Down by Auto
Effie Miller, 16 years old, 1511
North Twenty-third street, was
struck by an automobile at Thir
teenth and Farnam streets shortly
after noon yesterday. The machine
was driven by P. F. Clarkson, a
salesman, living at the Sanford ho
tel. She suffered a wrenched back
and body bruises.
A lemonade and popcorn stand,
operated on the lawn at 3904 South
Twenty-fifth street for a day, netted
$2.70 to buy milk and ice for poor
babies.
Five girls "got it up." A Japa
nese umbrella provided shade by
day and Japanese lanterns gave
light by night. Everybody had a
good time and the $2.70 will do a lot
of good for hungry babies,.
The girls who earned this sum are
Grace Root, Helen Root, Lois Et
ter, Pauline Oswald and Bess Stur
rock. Other children are using their
time profitably anddoing good to
the helples.by plays and little busi
ness ventures.
YOUR MONEY does 100 PER
CENT GOOD when contributed to
The Bee's fund. There is no "over
head expense." Every cent goes to
buy either milk or ice for hungry,
suffering babies of the struggling
poor.
Your contribution will be gladly
welcomed and acknowledged. Just
send or bring it-to The Bee office.

ry. He was later gassed in the
Argonne' fighting and spent six
months in a hospital. He was dis
charged from the army three weeks
ago.
Break Sales Record
July sales of motor trucks, accord
ing to O. A. Wilson of Andrew
Murphy & Son, are far ahead of any
previous July record since their en
try into the truck business. About
two-thirds of their orders tor the
month of July are still unfilled ow
ing to the inability of the factory to
produce sufficient number of trucks.
Service facilities and parts stocks
have recently been increased con
siderably to take care of the 1,500
Republic trucks now in service
throughout this territory.

Since July, 1916, Goodrich De Luxe
Truck Tires on the wheels of a 5-ton
truck operated by The Texas Company,
handling petroleum and its products,
with a 750-gallon tank astride' its
chassis, has been crunching over rock
strewn paths daily.
Yet only the other day De Luxe vet
erans on the rear wheels gave way to
De Luxe successors, having delivered
over 15,000 miles of service in three
years.
Such heroic and commendable serv
ice from De Luxe Tires is due to the
extra-deep, extra-thick treads, treads so
resilient and tough as to defy penetra
tion by rocks.
Put this extra rubber under your
trucks-for safety and economy's sake.
Just once. Once is sufficient to con
vince.
