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. He
pleaded not guilty and was bound
over to the district court under
$1,000 bonds.
Hoover gave as the reason for his
act alleged insults to his wife, who
is an employe of the Troy laundry,
by Webb. 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. Suf
fering babies of the very poor are
being taken care of with pure milk
and cooling ice just as far as the size
of the fund will permit.
If you can do something for the
fund DO IT NOW for the NEED is
VERY GREAT.

Report of Board On
Courts-Martial Soon
Will BeMade Public
Washington, July 30. One new
article of war and changes in 30
others have been recommended by
the special board of officers ap
pointed early in the war to investi
gate the army court-martial system.
In making this announcement today,
Secretary Baker said he soon would
transmit the 'board's report to con
gress. "It may be said," Mr. Baker's an
nouncement said, "that the board,
upon the whole finds no radical de
fects in the system and it attributes
the greater part of the just criticism
not to inherent faults of the system
itself, but rather to the inexpe
rienced personnel called upon to ad
minister it at a time of strees when
the great thing was to get 4,000,000
men quickly in shape for the fight
ing line."
