PLANS PROBE OF ALLEGED TRUST OF PRODUCE MEN Mayor Will Investigate Charges of Conspiracy by Commission Firms to Hold Up Prices. . Charges against the wholesale commission houses which supply Omaha with fruit and vegetables are made in a letter to Mayor Smith from a man who works for one of these houses and who says there is a deliberate conspiracy to keep down the supply and keep up the prices. Mayor Smith will take steps to in vestigate the charges. "Three or four cars of fruit from outside states are received in Omaha daily, says the letter. "The com mission men know just about what the demands of Omaha are and they deliberately market just enough to keep the prices up.- "I have seen, time and again, three or four wagonloads of fruit taken from a car on the tracks, the car then closed up and allowed to stand for several days, paying demurrage, and then when the car was opened half to two-thirds of the fruit was found to be spoiled. "This is the reason why the peo ple of Omaha are paying 60 cents a dozen for bananas, 5 cents each for pears and peaches, exhorbitant prices for berries of all kinds and from $1 up for watermelons. "The proper steps to take would be for the federal grand jury to in vestigate the acts of comission houses in the interests of the people. There is plenty of fruit and this combine and conspiracy of the com mission men to keep the prices tip is a thing that the people should not stand for." Word has come also to the mayor that there is a combination among the fruit growers of Douglas county. "We have a maid in our house whose parents live on a farm out in the county," a prominent Omahan told the mayor. "They have a great many berries and we wanted to buy direct from the farm. We were told that we could not get them. They had to be sold through the regular commission house channels. They could give them to us and we could then make a present to our maid, but the rules were so strict that we could not buy them in any other way." Uses Bricks to Avenge Neighbor's Drenching Of Good Player Piano 1 Mrs. Catherine Wavra, 2763 Du pont street, sought to stifle the full tone notes of the player piano owned by her next door neighbor, Mrs. Frances Wrobelski, by drenching the instrument with a hose. Mrs. Wrobelski retaliated with several bricks. Yesterday the two families were in poiice court, Mrs. Wrobelski, proprietor of the pianola, charged with assault and battery, and Mrs. Wavra and her daughter, Henrietta, 13 years old, as complaining witnesses. Mrs. Wavra testified first. She said the,- Wrobelski's pumped jangling melody from the piano when her daughter, Henrietta, was trying to practice music lessons. The noise distracted Henrietta. They objected. The Wrobelskis merely put on the loud pedl and changed the record to "Everybody's Doing it Now." Then she turned the hose in the Wrobelski window drenching the piano, Mrs. Wrobelski, her two daughters, June and Agnes, 19 and 20 years old, respectively, and was an swered by the avalanche of brick bats. Judge Fitzgerald advised Mrs. Wrobelski to sell the pianola. "You are preventing this little girl from wooing the musical music," the judge said. "If my neighbors had a pianola I'd move." "We won't sell itl" exclaimed Mrs. Wrobelski. "Wt won't sell itl" exclaimed June. "I should say notl" exclaimed Florence. "Dismissed," said the judge. "Wo men always win." Aliens Who Served In U. S. Army Get Easy Naturalization Terms Thirty-five discharged soldiers of foreign birth have been notified by F. M. Lycock, naturalization exanv iner, of the recent action by congress enabling them to file for citizenship papers without charge. These men, according to Mr. Ly cock, have repeatedly expressed their intention of becoming citizens but have been prevented from doing this by the many difficulties confronting them. It is expected that all of these men will file their petitions Friday. For the especial benefit of the dis charged men many of the difficulties in obtaining citizenship papers have been eliminated. They need not ex press their intention or take out their first papers in order to become full-fledged citizens, Mr. Lycock said. Mr. Lycock made it plainly under stood that an alien receiving an hon orable discharge from the army does not become a citizen until he has fully complied with the laws govern ing citizenship. Man Held to District Court; On Charge of Shoot: ;,g Negro Edward Hoover, 1615 North Four teenth street, who last Saturday shot and slightly injured Andrew Webb, a negro, was arraigned in po lice court yesterday on a charge of shooting with intent to kill.

The wounded man was employed at the same laundry.' The Bee's Fund for Free Milk and Ice BABY ALICE SAYS: (If Sba Could Talk.) . " "I'd KISS those good men who are contributing to The Bee fund. Only I'm afraid they wouldn't care for the kisses of a baby less than a year old, as I am. "Oh, I feel so good since the nurse found us and sent The Bee's milk man and iceman to us. "Before that I was sick and mis erable and didn't care whether school kept or not. "Now I'm getting fat. That milk certainly is GOOD and it's just what little Alice needs. "No wonder I love the good peo ple who contribute to The Bee's fund." The DEMANDS on this fund are very HEAVY this hot summer.
