PACKERS DENY HOARDING FOOD IN WAREHOUSES No Attempt Made, However, to Refute Figures Showing . Vast Quantities In Stor age Here. Omaha packeri deny that they are hoarding food in local cold storage warehouses. No attempt was made, however, to refute statistics pub lished in The Bee showing that three months ago over 10,000,000 pounds of meat was stored in .Omaha cold storage warehouses by load pack ers, and no claim was made by pack ers today that the quantity had been greatly diminished during the past 90 days. 'R. C. Howe, general manager of the Armour Packing Co.,' said he had no figures which would show the amount of meat stored in the Armour warehouse on the South Side. He declared that it was ne cessary, however, to store large quantities of meat during the fall shipping season to supply the de mand during the year. M. R. Murphy, general manager of the Cudahy Packing Co., esti mated that the Cudahy company in Omaha had 3,000,000 pounds of meat on hand at the present time, but declared that a large part of it -was in the process of curing and not marketable. Official figures given out by the Chicago Board of Trade show that 53,700,000 pounds of meat are in storage on the South Side, in the process of being cured or in storage. H. O. Edwards, general manager of the Swift Packing company, ad mitted that a large part of this amount was probably in storage, but declared that large amounts were always stored at this time of year. The Chicago Board of Trade figures show that there were 53,200,000 pounds of meat on hand at the South Side a year ago at this time, or 500,000 pounds less trrSh this year Frank A. Petersen, asistant United States district attorney, stated today that figures printed in The Bee showing the enormous .mounts of meat stored in local warehouses would be of great value to-him in his work of 'prosecuting hoarders. County Attorney Shotwell said he helimed the federal government would be able to deal with the cold storage problem, and promised all the assistance his office could fur nish. Juvenile Victim of Aphasia Is Taken To Riverview Home Joseph Kortz, 11 years old, was turned over to juvenile authorities Thursday by street car employes, who stated he had ridden on one street car for several hours and had remained on the car when it was taken into the car barn. Young KoPtz was unable to tell juvenile officers where he lived and said he could remember nothing of the past. "I am not sure whether I live in Council Bluffs or in Omaha," he said. "I went to what they called Avenue B school, and my mother's first name is Lizzie. That's all I can remember." Juvenile officers at first thought the lad was a runaway, but after much questioning decided that his mind was a blank as far as all past events were concerned. He was taken to the Riverview home pending further investigation. Butler to Start Move In Council to Repeal New Parking Ordinance So' unpopular is the "parallel parking" ordinance, passed recently by the city council that a move will be made to repeal it at the council meeting next Monday when Com missioner Butler will introduce a resolution for this purpose. "Scores of complaints have come to me," he said. "People drive their cars in parallel to the curb and then someone drives right up behind them and one righi in front of them and it's next to impossible to get out. It doesn't serve any good pur pose at all." The ordinance provides that cars on all streets having street railway tracks and on all other streets 40 feet or less in width must be parked parallel with the curb instead of "head on" to the curb. 14 Carloads of Tanks And ArhlW Will Be Shown Here Next Week The Chamber of Commerce is advised that either Wednesday or Thursday of next week Ordnance train No. 100, carrying 14 car loads of tanks, tractors and heavy artillery will be in Omaha.

He desires the as sistance of the Chamber in obtain irg grounds for the parking of the exhibit and suggests that the loca tion be wooded and somewhat hilly. For viewing the exhibit, which is in the interest of the recruiting branch of army service, no admission will be charged. Struck by Automobile While attempting to cross the street in front of his home yes terday C. F. Bonghart, 530 South Thirty-fir6t street, was struck by an automobile and injured.
