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.
