HE WAS 'FORCED'
TO SELL LIQUOR
Dr. Willard H. Quigley Is Sen
tenced to 30 Days In Jail
On Jamaica Ginger
Charge.
"-Dr. Willard H. Quigley, druggist
at 302 North Sixteenth street, was
sentenced to 30 days in jail in po
lite court yesterday on a charge of il
legal sale of intoxicating liquor. The
complaint was made by Mrs. Hazel
Flanagan, Nineteenth and Chicago
streets.
rMrs. Flanagan testified that she
trailed her husband to the Quigley
store and witnessed him purchasing
a quantity of Jamaica ginger.
"Quigley received a similar sen
tence on a similar charge the first
of the year. Both cases have been
appealed to higher courts.
Quigley testified that he was a
practicing physician at Twenty
fourth and Farnam streets, and was
not the proprietor of the drug store
He asserted the store was owned by
his wife, the manager quit a few
days ago and that he had been as
sisting in the conduct of the busi
ness until help could be secured. He
told the court that Flanagan had
considerable reputation as a pugilist
and forced him to make the sale.
At the same time she caused Dr.
Quigley's arrest, Mrs. Flanagan
swore out a complain against her
husband, Martin, charging vagrancy.
He was released on a $10 bond,
which he forfeited by failing to ap
pear for trial.

Chamber of Commerce and
City Officials Endorse
Proposed Airplane Line
Mayor Smith Says He Would Like to Be the First
Omaha-San Francisco Passenger and Would Be
Willing to Pay Steep Fare for the Privilege
Commissioners Welcome Lawson Project.
News that Alfred VV. Lawson will
establish a transcontinental airplanes
line for carrying passengers, with
Omaha as the only stop between
New York and San Francisco, was
received by prominent Omahans
with enthusiasm when they read it
in The Bee Tuesday.
An airplane of the Lawson type,
which is to leave New York soon
for Omaha and San Francisco, will
carry 34 passengers, including Edgar
VV. Croft, a representative of The
Bee. It is estimated the trip from
New York to Omaha will be made
in 12 to 14 hours, and from Omaha
to San Francisco in 16 to 18 hours.
"I am not surprised at this
project," said W. A. Ellis, acting
commissioner of the Chamber of
Commerce. "It is only a question
of a very short time until the mail
and passenger lines will be as com
mon as railroad lines are now. The
government promised us airplane
service several months ago and only
the development of three-engine
planes is delaying that service. The
government mail planes are in reg
ular operation between New York
and Chicago. Cleveland and Chicago,
Washington and New York and
Boston and New York.
"Omaha is on a direct line across
the continent with the best facilities
of every kind for an airplane sta
tion. We have a committee now at
work looking up larger landing
fields near the city for these big
passenger-carrying planes. A plane
such as this one The Bee reports,
requires a long field to allow it to
get into the air. Our airplane land
ing field at Sixty-second and Cen
ter streets consists of 55 acres. It
is scarcely large enough for one of
the heavy passenger carriers. But we
will get a field that will answer the
purpose.
"Whether the planes will ever be
developed to carry freight is a ques
tion, but even- that will come in
time. Omaha is also a good place
for shops for this Lawson line. The
line will need engine parts and spare
engines and a multitude of other
things on hand at this, the half
way station.
"The Chamber of Commerce will
do everything possible to help this
project along. You may be sure of
that."
Mayor Smith spoke enthusiastic
ally of the project He has ridden in
an airplane.
"I'm for it," he said. "I'd like to
be the first Omaha-San Francisco
in
Oltfvel W lam on
passenger, and I'd be willing to pay
a pretty good-sized fare for the
privilege. Omaha is in the track of
transcontinental travel by rail as it
was by ox-team. It certainly must
be on the main air routes across
the continent.
"Omaha can give this company
the biggest kind of welcome, and if
Mr. Lawson wants to establish an
airplane factory anywhere he can't
find a better town than Omaha. The
city government will do all ifi its
power to encourage the Lawson en
terprise or any other enterprise of
this nature."
City Commissioner Zimman and
Towl expressed the city's desire to
do all in its power to help the Law
son project.
"The air lanes, so far as charted,
make Omaha the logical half-way
station for transcontinental air
lines," said Commissioner Zimman.
"The air in the latitude of Omaha
is better suited for air travel east
and west, they say, than the air
north or south of here, just as the
land is best suited to the construc
tion of railways. There is no doubt
that we will do everything possible
to help along this project."
Cross-Country Air
Squadron to Start On
Its Trip Thursday
The United States army cross
country airplane squadron, enroute
from Boston to Dallas, will leave
New York today for Boston un
der the command of Lieut.-Col. H.
B. Clagett, according to word re
ceived at the Omaha army headquar
ters yesterday.
Though no schedule had been
given out, it was stated three weeks
ago that the squadron would stop
over in Omaha for a day, landing at
the Ak-Sar-Ben field on West Cen
ter street. The squadron includes
seven battle planes, all of which
were in action on the western front
during the war.
The trip is being made in the in
terests of recruiting. While in
Omaha the pilots, who are making
the flight, will give exhibitions in
fancy flying over the downtown sec
tion. Arrangements are being made
by the Chamber of Commerce to
entertain' the aviators during their
stay here.

Burglar Makes Two
Trips to Get Loot at
nri r if i n
lhe Bradford nome
The "mysterious entrance bur
glar" did a profitable business Tues
day night in the home of D. C Brad
ford, president of the Bradford-Kennedy
Lumber company, 404 South
Thirty-ninth street. He secured
diamond rings and cuff links and
ruby studs valued at more than
$1,000.
A maid, Florence Home, was
awakened shortly before 4 this
morning by a noise in the room ad
joining hers. She listened for 15
minutes, afraid to move and then the
burglar entered her room.
She feigned sleep when he leaned
over her. He went away. Later he
returned again and Miss Home
screamed. The burglar fled and no
trace of him has been found by the
police.
An attempted burglary was pre
vented shortly after 2 yesterday
morning by Mrs. G. G. Alexander,
2618 St. Mary's avenue, when she
was awakened by the light from a
flashlight held by a man who was
attempting to force his entrance
through a window. She rushed to
ward the window where the
prowler was working at the screen
and frightened him away. The po
lice were called and searched the
neighborhood without result.

The citizens' of German birth and
descent of Omaha, Neb., and neigh
boring towns have issued a call for
a meeting to be held next Sunday
at the Omaha Music home, Seven
teenth and Cass streets, at 3 p. m.
to make arrangements to start a
Nebraska branch for this part of
the war work. This work for the
war sufferers of central Europe was
inaugurated about a week ago at
New York City at a large mass
meeting, 'representing the various
German elements of the city of
New York, Brooklyn and vicinity.
The representatives of cities such
as Philadelphia, Cleveland, Chicago
and St. Louis, were present. The
Germans of Omaha were invited to
join this movement and have car
ried out the necessary preliminary
work. They have issued a call for
this meeting, which is signed by
about 30 prominent men bnd women
of German birth and 'extraction in
this city, and consists among them
the following:
Bertha Getzschmann, George
Schukert, William Schmoller, C.

This war work has the sanction
of the State department at Wash
ington, as the local arrangement
vcommittee proves by facsimile let
ter of the State department, writ
ten on July 28 to the welfare com
mittee for prisoners of war as fol
lows. The letter, signed by As
sistant Secretary of State William
Phillips, reads in part:
"Referring to the department's
letter of July 12, 1919, in which you
were informed that no objection
would be raised to your plan to or
ganize committees to undertake
German relief work when trade
should be reopened after ratification
of the treaty by Germany, and to
the informal request of Mr. Bos
chwitz on July 17 that this author
ization might include also permis
sion to undertake relief for the peo
ple of German Austria, the depart
ment is now glad to inform you that
there is no reason why this project
ed relief work should not also be
extended to German-Austria."
The committee has authoritative
information that the want of food
and clothing, particularly among the
children of Germany and German
Austria is heartrending. Thousands
of children have found an untimely
grave on account of the lack of
milk and fats, nd the present gen
eration is so undernourished that
scientists fear that they will never
grow to full maturity.
The federal food department of
the United States has already ship
ped a large amount of food stuffs to
Germany and Austria, but the time
has arrived for private initiative to
eliminate the terrible suffering
caused by the blockade during the
war. The local Germans are trying
to do their share, and call upon the
citizens in general to assist them in
this worthy work.
A permanent organization will be
started next Sunday to carry on this
relief work. It is already well un
der way in every principal city of
the east.
Bellevue Probably Will
Not Reopen for Fall Term
Lacking funds and without a
head, Bellevue college will probably
not open doors for the fall school
term in September it was announced
following a meeting of trustees.
Dr. Charles E. Baskerville, acting
president, said that, in a campaign
to raise funds, the alumni had ob
tained only $11,000 of the $25,000
necessary to start the college on a
sound basis.
The institution will probably re
open in September, 1920, Dr. Basker
ville stated. It is expected that funds
needed will be raised by next spring.
COMBINATION OF
CONSUMERS TO
BEATJU OF L.
J. A. Faber Tells Omahans
How to Combat Effectively
Underhand Work of
Profiteers.
Admitting that the present food
prices are out of- all reason, J. A.
Faber, general manager of the Allied
Stores, which company will shortly
open a number of stores in Omaha,
declared yesterday there was only
one effective way to bring down the
high cost of foodstuffs and that wis
by a combination of consumers
pledging themselves to deal only
with some reliable firm that takes
the lead in "honest prices."
"The subject of profiteering in the
necessaries of life is being discussed
by everybody," he said. "Our peo
ple were reconciled to the advancing
prices during the war, feeling that '
there was an honest reason for them j
but they protest against the cotitin-
tied raising of prices in foodstuffs I
now that the war has been over for
six or eight months.,
"I have noticed the spasmodic ef
forts upon the part of government
officials and city officials to try to
do something effective to checkmate
the profiteers, but so far I have
heard of no practical method for
reaching that end through, govern
mcuiai aseucies.
"There is only one way by which
the profiteer may be defeated,, and
that is bv a combination of comum-
erj.
"The Ladies' Home Journal for
May had an article telling how thii
may be done and how it is being
done in a number of American cities.
The consumers can take the matter
in their own hands if they will and
find a' remedy."
