SUIT TO OUST
JUDGE HOLMES
IS NOT REGULAR
So Declares the Attorney
General in His Report
to Governor
McKelvie.
Lincoln, Sept. 16. (Special,) It
was purely a case of certain city
officials at Omaha trying to pass the
buck up to the state authorities
when Assistant City Prosecutor T.
B. Murray asked to have proceed
ings started for the removal of Mu
nicipal Judge Holmes, because the
latter, it was charged, had dismissed
a complaint against Frank Maloney,
charged with bootlegging, when, it
was claimed, the proof of his guilt
was clear.
So says Attorney General Davis
In his report to Governor McKelvie
regarding the case. Mr. Davis
recommends that no action be taken
to oust Judge Holmes and that if
Murray has the proof he claimed lie
has the proper thing for him to do
is to start another prosecution in
any court of Douglas county where
he thinks he will get a fair show.
It develops from the investigation
made by Ralph P. Wilson on behalf
of the attorney general's office that
no complaint was ' ever filed and
sworn to by the Omaha city prose
cutor's office against Maloney.
Moreover, says Wilson, Holmes
was acting at the time, not as a mu
nicipal judge, but temporarily as po
lice judge, whereas Murray sought
to have him removed from the mu
nicipal court, which has little or
nothing to do with the trial of
bootlegging cases.

Unions Continue to
Picket Restaurants
Not Signing Scale
No sign of a cessation of hostili
ties between striking cooks, waiters
aitd waitresses and members of the
Restaurant Men's association was
visible yesterday.
The co-operative restaurant
started by the strikers is still draw
ing large crowds, and "unfair" res
taurants are being picketed by men
in cook's uniforms. The strikers
also claim that 22 eating places and
cafes have met their demands and
may noev be rated as "fair."
On the other hand, Sidney Swan
son, president of the Restaurant
Men's association, and manager of
the Calumet restaurant, declared to
day that no restaurants, of which
the owners are members of the as
sociation, have signed the demands
of the strikers.
"There may be a few small places
which have verbally agreed to the
strikers' terms," said Mr. Swanson,
"but no large ones." Most of the
cafes and restaurants have been al
lowing their help one day off a
week, which is their principal de
mand, he said.
"The Hotel Fontenelle signed a
year's agreement with its help last
February. This still stands, but
this strike had nothing to do with
its signing. All of the restaurants
seem to have plenty of help now."
Harley G. Conant, of the Conant
hotel, which is on the strikers' "fair"
list, stated today that he had signed
no agreement with the union.
Runaway Youths Believed

road yards, Fourteenth and Locust
streets, carrying a bundle of clothes
wrapped in a small carpet, police say
they have learned.
The boys had with them a .22-
caliber rifle, taken from the Taber
home. When accosted by railroad
men, the boys said they were going
to Sioux City. Police at that city
have been asked to be on the look
out for them.
