C. C. George Says Bee All
Wrong in Fighting Battle
For Apartment Tenants
Barring Children from Buildings No Concern of Cham
ber of Commerce, He Says in Eeply to Plea of
Kamer Praises the Silence of Other Papers.
C C. George, former president of
the Omaha Chamber of Commerce,
and head of one of the richest real
estate firms of the city, does not be
lieve the ' Chamber of Commerce
should take any steps to prevent or
discourage the practice of many
local real estate dealers and land
lords in refusing to rent apartments
or houses to families with children.
Mr. George made this statement
to a reporter for The Bee yesterday.
He was also very emphatic in
his terms of .condemnation of The
Bee for the stand the paper has
taken against profiteering landlords.
The comment by Mr. George on
the local rent situation was offered
pursuant to a charge made Thurs
day by H. S. Kamer, well known
manufacturer, and published in The
Bee.
Didn't Want Baby
Mr. Kamer declared he had been
looking for an apartment in Omaha
since last July and had been un
able to find a place in which to live
because landlords absolutely have
refused to rent to him, giving as
their explanation that he had a 17-months-old
baby.
Mr. Kamer is a newcomer here
and declared he had been induced
to establish his business in Omaha
as a result of flattering opportuni
ties advertised and heralded by
the Chamber of Commerce. "There
are laws in the east covering this
situation," he said, "and I think it is
about time that the Omaha Cham
ber of, Commerce was taking up
the matter here."
Mr. Geoi,je does not think The
Bee should defend the interests of
the people at large against the
stand of a small circle of business
men, whom he declares are those
who should be first considered.
"In the first place I do not be
lieve there are over 10 per cent of
the apartment houses which exclude
children," said Mr. George. "There
are just a very few such cases in
Omaha as that to which Mr. Kamer
refers."
Some Mistake, He Thinks.
Mr. George's attention was di
rected to a communication for
warded to H. D. Bergen, 3301 ave
nue, by Hastings & Heyden, one of
the largest real estate firms in Oma
ha, ordering him to vacate the prem
ises because he and his wife had a 3-year-old
child. This letter author
ized by Hastings & Heyden also
stated that "we are ordering all ten
ants in our buildings who have
children to vacate at the termina
tion of their leases."
"I believe there is some mistake
about this," was Mr. George's com
ment when shown a copy of the let
ter. "I would suggest that you talk
to either Mr. Hastings or Mr. Hey
den about the matter. They are
responsible men and well established
in the' community. I believe you
will find that the letter has not been
duly authorized."
B. R. Hastings, president of Hast
ings & Heyden, declined to discuss
the matter. . "I have nothing what
ever to say," he declared. "I have
nothing to say to The Bee."
The letter tn regard to which Mr.
Hastings refused to comment was
written on the letter head of Hast
ings & Heyden over the signature
of E. A. Thomason, rental manager.
"I want to say that I think The
Bee is making a serious mistake in

opposing, the established business
interests of the community," Mr.
George added. "I have been pay
ing advertising bills to The Bee for
the last 25 years. What I should
do is to discontinue all business
connection with the paper. This is
the sentiment of. many of the lead
ing business men of Omaha. We
have met,' and frequently meet, to
discuss such matters secretly. It
is indeed unfortunate that The Bee
should take up the other side of the
case in antagonism to the best in
terests of the city"
Mr. George expressed the opinion
that The Bee should ignore the in
terests of the thousands, who are
compelled to pay the profiteering
tolls, and cater only to the favored
and exclusive few. He thinks The
Bee is responsible for untold dam
age in the publicity it has given to
the -rent victims and persons who
have been made targets , of by
profiteers.
"Many times I have called atten
tion to the fact that The Bee should
be conducted along the lines of the'
other two Omaha papers," con
tinued Mr. George. "The Bee is on
the wrong track and the business
men of this city should make the
paper do the right thing."
Satisfied With Other Papers.
Mr. Georgr declared that he and
other real estate men and landlords
were entirely satisfied with the
policy of the World-Herald and the
Daily News.
The policy of these two papers
has been to do nothing which would
incur the disfavor of profiteering
landlords.
Mr. George was reminded of the
fact that it was thought in The Bee
office that many of the business
men were on the wrong track and
they should be made to do the right
thing by the public, to which they
are looking for everything they get.
Negro Highwaymen Rob
Victim Then Command
Him to "Beat It" Home
"Beat it right along and don't
turn around until you get to your
home," was the command given to
William Stearns, 1404 South Tenth
street, by two highwaymen who
took $25 from him early yesterday.
Stearns told the police that the
robbers were negroes, one of whom
held a large gun while the other
searched him. The holdup occurred
at Tenth and Jackson streets.
The victim said he walked right
along home before he notified the
police.
Johnson Will Return
to Washington at Once
(Contlnned from Fat One.)
by the advocacy of the league of
nations not the least remarkable
is the reproach to patriotism and
the denunciation of those who think
first or our republic.
"We, who would protect and pre
serve our own nation, who loyally
and patriotically would hesitate to
involve its 'sons and its future gen
erations in perpetual warfare are
designated as, 'little, selfish and
provincial' Americans."
Senator Johnson expressed the
view that the league covenant turned
over the Monroe doctrine to foreign
powers for interpretion. 1
He declared it unthinkable that
any American wrote the Tenth ar
ticle of the peace pact, or that any
American could subscribe to it.
Wilson Article Fraud.
"President Wilson's amendment
to the league covenant designed to
safeguard the Monroe doctrine is
a fraud, a delusion and a snare," de
clared Senator Johnson.
The crowd which heard Senator
Johnson packed the largest hall in
the city and hundreds were turned
away. s
Senator Johnson ; announced to
night that he had abandoned his
proposed speech-making trip to the
coast, and would leave for Wash
ington Sunday. He will close his'
tour of the middle west with an ad
dress at Minneapolis tomorrow
night.
"I am greatly disappointed be
cause I am unable to go to the
Pacific coast at this time, but I have
decided that my presence is urgent
ly needed at Washington next
week," said the senator. "I want
to be in the senate when my amend
ment to the league covenant abol
ishing the preponderance of Great
Britain's voting power in the as
sembly, of the league comes up for
consideration. I will answer Presi
dent Wilson's speeches on the 'Pa
cific coast in an address which I
will issue to the people of Cali
fornia." You will find the Dyckmafi, Min

Sure Way to Regain
Robust Bloom of Youth
A smooth, velvety-soft skin, with a deli
cate peach-like bloom, is one of the Crea
tor's most exquisite works. When the
first blush of youth is over, this beautiful
tint and satiny lustre are rarely seen.
How to preserve them that's th ques
tion. Famous beauty experts abroad long
have known that ordinary mercolized wax
works wonders in this direction. It actu
ally gives a new surface to the skin, re
storing that marvelous girlish color and
softness in a remarkable manner. An
ounce of this wax. procurable at any drug
store, will convert a faded, wornout, dis
colored, freckled or pimply complexion
into one of captivating loveliness in less
than two weeks.1
No special skill is necessary in applying
mercolized wax. It Deing smearea on at
night like cold cream and washed off in
the morning.

from a two years' stay in South
