State Agent Hyers
And Sheriff Clark
Give Up Bandit Hunt
Sheriff Mike Clark and a squad of
reputies returned Monday after un
successfully combing the route tak
en by the three men who escaped
after robbing the Citizens State
bank of Ralston Saturday noon of
more than $4,200.
State Agent Gus Hyers, with a
number of his men, also returned to
Greenwood, where the bandits were
last seen. Hyers and Clark are of
the-'opinion that the men escaped
after being headed by posses by
traveling west and following the
brnks of a small creek. They be
lieve that the posses were outflanked
before the circle could be drawn
about the bandits.
Sheriff Clark "Evens Up"
for Missing Bank Robbers
Sheriff Mike Clark and deputies,
"armed for bear." conducted an un
successful search for the Ralston
bank robbers in the vicinity of
Gretna yesterday. The Douglas
county sheriff last night consoled
himself somewhat for not "bringing
back his men" by the fact that he
arrested a man wanted by Sheriff
Charlie Peters of Sarpy county.
Arthur Palmer was arrested by
Sheriff Clark on a charge of as
saulting Mary Lambrecht, a farm
girl near Gretna, and placed in the
Gretna jail awaiting the arrival of
Sheriff Peters. It is alleged that
Palmer caught the girl in an orchard
and she was rescued by her father,
who chased him away with a pitch
fork. '

with chloroform over her face.
Waiters and Owners
Both Claim Gaining
Ground Here in Strike
Omaha cooks and waiters, out on
strike for the past two or three
weeks, held a demonstration on the
downtown streets last night. Two
hundred or more' of them, some
dressed in their working clothes,
marched through the streets, carry
ing banners and posters announcing
their purpose. Various forms, of
noise were employed to attract the
attention of pedestrians.
Picketing of the various unfair
restaurants and eating houses has
been increased, and every evidence
is made of a fight to the finish. Un
ion officials claim results for their
cause, but the managers of cafes in
sist that they are operating as us
ual,, with no more difficulty to ob
tain help than under normal condi
tions. In spite of these statements,
an inquirer after Rome Miller at
noon Monday was inforemd that Mr. J
Miller was working in the kitchen
and would not be out until after the
rush was over.
Rawson Says He Will
Not Be Candidate for
Governor, m 1920
Des Moines, la., Sept. 22. (Spe
cial Telegram.) Charles A. Raw
son, chairman of the republican
state central committee, today is
sued a signed statement to the ef
fect that he would not be a candi
date for governor in 1920. Before
leaving for France last December
he announced that he would be a
candidate.
"During my seven months' ab
sence from this country there has
been a number of changes in busi
ness conditions, and it seems to me
now that in justice to myself and
to those associated with me that I
must give all of my time to various
enterprises with which I am con
nected," he said.
MARINE
Omaha Belle Wedded to
St. Louis Business Man
A. M. Cohen, New York City,
courted with ardor the hand of Miss
Mo'.lie Abraham, a belle of Omaha.
For a year his attentions were
pressed upon her. Success seemed
to be about to fall into his hands
when he was interrupted by the
greater game of war. As a true I
knight should, he fared forth.
While serving his country he re
ceived various wounds of a serious
nature and went through a siege of
deadly gas. In appreciation of his
valor and prowess he was placed in
charge of the guard of the tomb of
the queen of Sheba.
Presently the guns of battle were
silenced. He returned to childhood
haunts and once again showered the
lady of his heart's desire with re
quests for her favor. Persistency
and other things were his chief lieu
tenants and his ardor never cooled.
And then the lady and her suitor
disappeared. Friends wondered
and remarked that they should so
completely vanish.
Not until Monday was it learned
that the young Lochinvar's war had
been waged successfully and that
the pair were married September 3
by Rabbi Cohn and that the disap
pearance was the beginning of a
honeymoon that all acquaintances
join in hoping may be lifelong.
Mr. and Mrs. Cohen will be at
home to their friends in St. Louis,
where Mr. Cohen u in business, after
a stay in New York.
Ex-Kaiser's Accusers
Indifferent to Trial
Amsterdam, Sept. 22. "One by
one the ex-kaiser's accusers are fall
ing off," says the Handelsblad edi
torially. "France is practically indifferent
toward his trial. Many people in au
thority in England firmly oppose it.
But Lloyd George has promised the
trial to his constituents. Not only
England, but all allies, must ask for
extradition. Should they decide to
do so, Holland, relying upon law and
treaty, will refuse to accede to these
demands."
U. S; Has Become
The World's Largest
Consumer of Furs
St. Louis, Sept. 22. (Special
Telegram.) Experts and veterans
in the fur trade asserts that in
quantity and quality of furs and
total of financial results the Inter
national Fur exchange auction just
closed will not be exceeded or
equalled by the coming New York
sale and the three coming London
tall sales combined. The total of
$15,334,458 is 12 times the total re
alized from the sale of three years
ago, which up to that time was
above the average.
Experts comment upon the fact
that this was a buyers' and not a
speculators' sale; that is, goods
were bought for immediate con
sumption, and not for speculative
purposes.
The sale demonstrates the fact
that America has become the world's
largest consumer of furs, and St.
Louis the largest distributing point
in the world for foreign as well
as domestic furs.
German Troops to Remain

London. Sept. 22. The German

fors. General Von Der Goltz, the
German commander, is at Mitau, it
is added.

Washington, Sept. 22. Notice of
a new counterfeit $20 note on the

Plans Proposes Gradual Re
linquishment of Larger Ves
sels to Private Operators
of Country.
Washington, Sept. 22. A merch
ant marine policy contemplating
gradual relinquishment to private
operation of the larger vessels of
the government-built fleet and im
mediate sale of the smaller vessels
had been formulated by the execu
tive committee of the National
Mprrhant- Mirine association, it was
announced today by Edward B.
Burling, chairman of the commit
tee. Recommendations of the com
mittee, it was said, will be submitted
to the association's council of 45
members for adoption and pre
sentation to congress as a proposed
guide in the enactment of legisla
tion; Believing that the immediate sale
of all ships to private operators is
"not only undesirable, but impracti
cal," the committee recommends
that the large steel vessels be sold
only as the development of private
firms might warrant, with the sale
of such ships confined to American
firms and made at current world
market prices. Immediate disposal
of the smaller vessels is recom
mended, however, without restric
tion as to purchasers.
Des Moines Citizens Vote
Against 6-Cent Fare
Des Moines, Sept. 22. Increased
street car fare to 6 cents to meet
demands of employes for a higher
wage, was defeated here at the polls
by a majority of over 1,000. Voting
was light.
Emil Schmidt, president of the
company, stated the situation was
now up to the street railway em
ployes. The employes have taken no
action.
The 6-cent fare election came as
a compromise between striking
street car employes and a citizen's
committee several weeks ago, to
maintain street car service during the
Iowa state fair.
Labor Will Take Up Fight
Against All Profiteering
Landlords of This City
Many Citizens Who Have Been Unable to Find Apart
ments and Many Others Who Have Had Their
Rents Increased From 25 to 50 Per Cent Hold
Members of the Omaha Real Estate Board Re
sponsible for Existing Conditions.
Ask Additional Pay.
Washington Sept. 22. (Special
Telegram.) Congressman Evans
presented a number of petitions
from soldiers in the vicinity 6f Oak
land and Lyons calling upon con
gress to provide that soldiers, sail
ors and marines receive $360 addi
tional pay.
Profiteering landlords will be
taken to task Friday night by the
Central Labor union.
A number of the Omaha locals al
ready have passed resolutions and
instructed their delegates to the cen
tral body to protest against the un
fair demands that are being made
by Omaha apartment house owners,
and it is planned to employ attor
neys and instruct them to proceed
under the statute, which provides a
penalty for violation of the trust
and monopoly act, it was said.
J. C. Dwyer, president of the
Photograph Engravers, declared his
organization would be one of the lo
cals represented at the meeting of
the Central Labor union Friday,
and that they would demand immed
iate relief for a number of their
members who are being treated un
fairly by their landlords.
House Was Condemned.
The case of Ernest Scherer will
be one of those to which attention
will be directed particularly, it was
said. Mr. Scherer lives at 2727
North Sixty-third street and re
ceived notice to move when the city
health department condemned the
house for its unsanitary condition.
Mrs. Scherer complained to the city
authorities when her protests to the
agent were ignored.
rred Bailey ot Benson is the
agent and Mrs. Kellen of Des
Moines is the owner. Mrs. Scherer
was told that she would have to
move for having taken the matter
up with the health department. Mrs.
Kellen is said to have come here
from Des Moines and announced
she would close up her house be
fore she would spend the amount
of money to meet the sanitary re
quirements of the city.
Mr. and Mrs. Scherer have a lit
tle boy, 2 years old. For three
weeks they have been searching the
city for an apartment. All of the
landlords to whom they have ap
plied have refused to rent to them
because they will not allow children
in their houses, they explained.
A. number of owners to whom
Mr. Scherer talked would permit
women to keep their pet dogs in
their apartment!, but drew the line
against children. Mr. Scherer de
clared that he had appealed to five
different real estate agents to find
an apartment where he could take
his little boy. ,He declared that not
a single one of these real estate men
would even make an attempt.
"It is no use," they explained.
"The property owners of this city
have gctten together and agreed on
a set of rules and regulations. These
apply to four-fifths of the apartment
houses of Omaha. It is too bad,
but there is no way out for you."
Still Looking for House
Mr. Scherer still is looking for a
house or an apartment in the hope
he will be able to find one vacant
and that the owner will not be iden
tified with the combine which has
agreed to exclude children.
There are families homeless in
Omaha today, it was said, because
of the agreement made among them
selves by the landlords to not rent
to couples with children.
Many of the persons who have
been unable to find apartments, and
many more who have had their rents
increased from 25 to 50 per cent, are
holding the members of the Omaha
Real Estate board responsible for
this state of affairs. The officers
of this organization are W. R. Mc
Farland, president; I. Shuler, vice
president; E. F. Williams, secretary,
and L. D. Spalding, treasurer.
The members of this board are
accused of not only profiteering,
working hardships on tenants and
ruling against hundreds of babies
in the city, but they are charged
with obstructing public develop
ments in the way of building oper
ations, particularly the erection of
homes. Landlords are accused of
discouraging building operations
for the reason, it is said, that they
will make more money as a result
of the growing demand for homes
in Omaha. They are in hopes, it
has been pointed out, to boost their
rent rates to the limit without in
vesting any additional capital.
The landlords of the combine are
accused of agreeing among them
selves not to spend any more money
on repairs or in decorating their
property than is absolutely neces-1
sary. scores ot tenants have been
asked to move for the simple asking
of essential repairs.

'rockets that Packers Sell
Their Number Grossly Exaggerated
The Federal Trade Commission has
published a list of some 640 articles said
to be sold by the packers.
This list is ridiculously padded in
order to scare people into the belief that
the packers are getting control of the
food supply of the nation.
For example, the list includes not only "beef
sides" and "beef cuts," but also over 60 other items of
beef products and by-products.
Over 90 articles listed are not sold to the outside
trade but are raw materials and supplies, such as
brick, cement, etc., used by Swift & Company in
carrying on its business.
Glaring duplications appear, such as "sardines"
and "canned sardines"; "butterine" and "oleomar
garine"; "dried sausages" and "dry sausage," etc.
The list includes 37 kinds of sausage; 4 dif
ferent kinds or preparations of beef tongue, etc., etc
Simmered down, Swift & Company handles in
addition to meats and meat by-products, only butter,
eggs, cheese, poultry, canned goods, lard substitutes,
and to a very small extent, dried and salt fish. And
the proportion which we handle of the total supply
of any one of these is absurdly small.
Do you want to be fooled by such misleading
and ridiculous statements of the Trade Commission?
Do you want radical legislation based on such absurd
evidence?
Let us send you a "Swift Dollar."
It will interest you.

WAS FLAT ON HIS
BACK; FAMILY HAD
LOST ALL HOPE
Telegraph Operator Gains 25
Pounds and Is Back at Work
Since Taking Tanlac.
"When I took my first dose of
Tanlac I was flat on my back in
bed and my wife and friends had
lost all hope. Five days afterwards
I was out of the bed, and now,
since taking six bottles, I'm back
at work, feeling as well as I ever
felt in my life and I've gained
twenty-five pounds," was the truly
remarkable statement made a few
days ago by A. W. Ruggles, a well
known telegraph operator, living
at South Spring street, Springfield,
111.
"I know it's hard for people to
believe this," he continued, "but
it's the honest truth. My wife and
all my neighbors as well as a host
of friends will testify to what I
say and I am willing to go before
a notary and make an affidavit
to this effect.
"About ten years ago I began to
suffer with indigestion and stomach
trouble. My appetite began to fail
me' and no matter how many tempt
ing dishes my wife would fix up,
I just had to force myself to eat.
This, of course, weakened me ter
ribly and before long I realized I
was breaking down under the strain
of my trying work at the telegraph
key. My nerves were all torn to
pieces and it was only by main
force that I stuck to my key in
the afternoons when the work be
gan to pile up.
"Nobody will ever know how I
suffered unless they have been
through the same thing. Every
time I ate anything I would have
terrible pains and cramps around
my stomach afterwards. Gas would
form and press against my heart
until I would get right dizzy and
several times I actually fainted.
My work was simply torment to
me. I would break out with cold
perspiration at the least little ex
citement, and in a few moments
would be so weak I could hardly
sit up. I couldn't sleep to do me
any good and kept going down
until I had lost twenty-five pounds.
"Finally, I just had to quit work
altogether and went home to be a
nervous wreck. I had lain there
helpless for six weeks and every
body who saw me thought I'd never
get up again, when my wife got
some Tanlac and I took it, and, as
I said before, in five days I was
out of that bed.
"Well, sir, I'll admit I was sur
prised, but my friends who had not
been allowed to see me a few days
before were dumbfounded to see
me up and looking so fine. I kept
on taking Tanlac until now I am
back at work and feel as well as
I ever did in my life. I eat any
thing I want, enjoy every mouth
ful, and nothing hurts me at all.
The pains have all disappeared and
I sleep sound all night long. I
enjoy my work just like I used to
years ago and I feel so thankful
for what Tanlac has done for me
that I would like every person in
the world who is suffering like I
was to know about it."
