to Pay Fine
In South Side Court
VV. L. Huffman, auto dealer at
2036 Farnam street, was arrested

escaped running over Detective
Croft, who was on a motorcycle, by
passing a street car on the wrong
side.
When Judge Foster of South Side
police court fined him $5 and costs
he refused to pay, saying that he
"never paid a fine yet," though he
had been driving a car for 15 years.

GENERAL WOOD
IN COMMAND OF
1.500 TROOPS
Military Forces and Civilian
Population Given Strict
Orders Regarding
Conduct. ',
(Continued From Fag One.)
ation of normal conditions in the
community. LEONARD WOOD,
Major General y. S. Army.
Streets Are Patrolled .
Under the provisions of the fore
going instructions, men from Camps
Dodge, Grant and Funston, and also
local members of the American Le
gion, patrolled the streets last night.
The men are each equipped with 200
rounds of ammunition, and each ma
chine gun has a supply of . 6,000
rounds. Rendezvous have been es
tablished at Twenty-fourth and Lake
streets, Auditorium, court house,
city hall, and Twenty-fourth and Q
streets.
The men have been instructed to
arrest civilians carrying weapons,
concealed or otherwise. No large
groups or mass meetings will be per
mitted. ,
. Not Martial Law.
While Omaha is in charge of the
military, martial law does not ex
ist in its full meaning. General
Wood explained yesterday that the
functions of the civil courts would
not be disturbed; that the military
authority will be extended only to
protect life and property. County
Attorney A. V. Shotwell conferred
with the general yesterday afternoon
on the matter of co-ordinating the
office of the county prosecutor with
the federal government.
All members of the local police
department are subject to the direc
tions of General Wood. Police Com
missioner Ringer and Chief of Po
lice Eberstein reported yesterday to
the ,, military commander. Acting
Mayor Ure also is co-operating.
Legion Members Serve.
Allan Tukey, an overseas service
man, is in charge of members of the
American legion who have volun
teered for special duty. Mr. Tukey
expects to have an organization of
450 men. ..They are sworn in by the
city as special police and are under
orders of the military authorities.
Their arms will be kept in the city
hall when they are not on duty.
General Wood addressed these men
in the city council chamber at 5:15
p. m. yesterday.
"If you are ordered to make an
arrest, you will be expected to do
so with' as little violence as pos
sible, but with all the violence neces
sary," he said. "If you go. after a
man, you will bring him in alive if
you can. If not, you will bring him
in dead. There will be no more
monkey business. This is military
law."
"Governor McKelvie and Adjt.
Gen. H. J. Paul of the Nebraska
national guard called on General
Wood, whp expressed hi opinion
that 1 the -''situation here since Stln
day nighrhas been handled satisfac
torily.
1,500 Soldiers Here
The arrival of 523 men from
Camp Grant and 223 from Camp
Funston yesterday were features of
the day. There are now approxi
mately 1,500 men here under arms.
During the day Acting Mayor
Ure handed Col. E. Morris a let
ter in which the police department
was formally transferred to the
jurisdiction of the military au
thorities. ;
"Firmness and decision now are
the elements of safety," said the
general at headquarters, after he had
gone over the local situation with
military and civil authorities.
Has Full Authority.
"Our men here have orders to
carry out orders," announced the
general,, with his characteristic man
ner of expression. ,
Then he showed a telegram re
ceived from General March, chief-of-staff,
Washington, D. C:
"You are authorized to take what
ever measures may be needed to
handle the emergency, the governor
of the state having requested the
United States government to fur
nish assistance."
Advice to Legion.
"Now is the time for the Ameri
can Legion, white and black, to
show, that they stand for law and
order," said General Wood.
Dr. Amos B. Madison, command
er of the local Theodore Roosevelt
post of the American Legion of Col
ored Men, accompanied by H. J.
Pinkett, also colored, called on the
general with reference to the forma
tion of a platoon of negro members
of the American Legion. This was
authorized.
Committee Meets General.
The general was met at the Union
station by Col. Jacob W. S. Wuest,
commanding officer at Fort Omaha;
Col. J. E. Morris of Fort Crook;
John M. Gamble, president of the
Chamber of Commerce; E. Bucking
ham, president of the Knights of
Ak-Sar-Ben, and others.
' Officials and civilians at the sta
tion expressed themselves in opti
mistic terms as to the situation, the
concensus of opinion being that the
crisis has passed.

bar of justice without delay. The
bolshevik spirit which we fondly
hoped had found its resting place
across the Atlantic must not be per
mitted to take root here..
Must Reorganize Police. .
"Our police force must be thor
oughly reorganized and doubled in
size. A national guard should be
organized at once so that we may
have adequate and quick protection
if anything of this sort breaks out
in the future."
General Wood stated that he has
received a telegram from Wash
ington instructing him to take full
charge of the situation.
"This action is taken," he said,
"because the governor of 'this
state has appealed for federal as
sistance. '
"There is an explosive condition
in many large cities today.. The
forces of anarchy are small in num
ber but well organized and seem
to be well-financed. No chances
must be taken. We have 1,400 or
ganized troops here now. We will
get more if necessary. I am in
clined to think that the crisis has
passed but we cannot tell.
No Public Meetings.
"Military orders have been issued,
asking that no large- public meet
ings be held. Only the police and
military forces will be allowed to
carry arms, either concealed or un
concealed. "We want the co-operation of all
good citizens. And order will be
maintained, we trust, without resort
to force. But at all events, disorder
will be put down promptly.
"Those guilty ot the outrages of
Sunday night will be dealt with by
the forces of law and brought to
answer for their crimes.
"I understand that 450 American
Legion men will be deputized in the
next two or three days. Nearly all
of these men have seen service over
seas. They will act as officers of
the law and will be equipped by the
government.
More Police Needed.
"A larger police force is also
.needed, I believe. For the present,
however, Omaha is under military
autocracy."
Here the general smiled. The
audience applauded.
"It is our intention to interfere
with the business of the city as lit
tle as possible. In organizing the
American Legion men I have asked
that one platoon be composed of
colored men who have seen service
overseas. I believe that it is no
more than right to allow them to
show their, right to citizenship."
The general referred to the unrest
in all parts of the country and said
that it was time that everyone get
together and prohibit open talk of
treason.
"Loose, idle and visionary talk has
served to bring about what has oc
curred in Omaha," he said.
Governor McKelvie, speaking
briefly, said that it is not the duty of
the state to enforce law in Omaha,
but that if Omaha cannot keep or
der the state stands ready to do so.
. "Omaha has been slow in re
sponding to the need for organizing
a national guard," he said. "Such an
organization could havejjeen galled
in at short notice. ' 4 .
"The first duty now is to .bring
order out of the chaotic condition
of the city. The next is to bring the
criminals to justice and the third is
to repair the property damage.
Funds for Rebuilding.
" Provisions to provide funds for
rebuilding the court house will be
made , as rapidly as possible. As
soon as I get legal opinion on
the law I will call a special session

in a home run. Ground rules rela
tive to three bases while the ball
that is fair, but that rolls foul after
it passes first or third base and
touches the newly erected chair seats
that line left and right fields has
been considered a two bagger.
Betting on the series was notic
able today for its absence. Several
wagers of large amounts were of
fered. No takers were reported. Lo
cal fans are demanding odds while
Chicago supporters are asking even
money and a deadlock appears to
exist. "
Both teams worked out at Redland
field today, the Reds taking a turn
in the morning and then allowing
the Sox to figure on the angles of
the field. In the afternoon the White
Six were allowed full practice in
order to became acquainted with the
effect of the sun's rays at different
times during the afternoon.
Collins Wants Glasses.
John Collins, -the .Chicago out
fielder, after finishing his practice,
said:
"I am going over right now and
make one purchase. That's a pair of
sun glasses. They tell me your sun
field is the fiercest ever, and I be
lieve them."
As the train bearing the cham
pions of the American league came
puffing to a halt in Grand Central
depot three mail clerks protruded
their heads from their cars and
shouted: "Hurrah for the White
Sox.'V That was the greeting at the
station, but a more vociferous one
met them as they entered their hotel
and they had a hard time getting to
the desk and finally to their rooms,
so great was the push to shake their
hands and greet them.
Rooters Due Today.
The special train carrying the
Chicago rooters, 900 strong, is not
due until tomorrow morning, but
Cleveland was represented by a full
delegation, and it was this crowd
that helped make the White Sox
welcome at their hotel.
Both Managers Gleason of the
of the legislature to pass an act au
thorizing the county commissioners
to issue bonds to repair the property
damage. There is a possibility that
this can be done without the special
session. But it must be done, and
done quickly."
A resolution expressing sympathy
for Mayor Smith in his illness fol
lowing the attack of the mob upon
hint was introduced by Mr. Bald
rige and passed unanimously.
Theaters Not Closed.
The order made at the request of
Major General Wood yesterday
"calling, off" the . Ak-Sar-Ben- fes
tivities and "public gatherings"
does not apply to theaters and mov
ing picture houses, the general
stated yesterday.
Dozens of inquiries were received
by The Bee regarding this point,
and the military authorities stated
that, if it should become necessary
to close theaters and moving pic
ture houses, a formal .statement to
that effect will be issued. -
Ten-Hour Working Day
Is Demand of Farmers
Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 30. A 10
hour working day for all productive
industries in order that farm labor
may be on a parity with all other
forms of labor was demanded at the
conference of representatives of the
state farm bureau federations of
Michigan, Ohio, Missouri, Iowa, Ne

working hours only reduces produc

White Sox and Moran of the Reds
gave voice to their confidence that
their teams would be returned not
only winners of the first game, but
of the entire series, and both paid
compliments to each other by stat
ing that they knew that they had a
fight on their hands.
President Herrmann of the Cin
cinnati club, when asked for a pre
diction of the series, smiled and
said: '
"I have been busy trying to keep
150,000 fans from being sore because
they can't be placed where there is
only room for about 33,000. I will
tell you better after the series are
over."
Press headquarters were opened
this afternoon, and 400 visiting and
local newspaper men obtained their
seats. Each was presented with a
souvenir badge by the Cincinnati
club..
The crush in the hotels and con
fusion became instantly greater as
each incoming train unloaded its
thousands.
A large number have come with
out hotel reservations and without
making arrangements for tickets,
and every man that has a ticket or
an opportunity to get one is kept
busy dodging those who haven't.
One man from Alaska managed
to get an interview with President
Herrmann and told him he had
come all the way to see the Reds
win the world's series, but when he
left the club headquarters he ad
mitted he still was without a ticket.
Gates Open at 10 o'Clock.
The gates of Redland field will
be thrown open at 10 o'clock in the
morning, and the officials anticipate
a tremendous rush for bleachers and
pavilion, where the first come will
receive the frontmost seats.
Johnny Evers and Joe Tinker of
the famous Chance machine took
part in the practice for Moran's
men today. Jack Pfeister, "the
Giant Killer," former member of the
Chicago Nationals staff, pitched to
the batters, and Grover Alexander,
the "ace" of the Chicago Cub staff,
worked on the mound while the
Reds were taking turns at practice.
This morning, during practice for
the White Sox, Buck Weaver
knocked several balls into the left
field bleachers, while Joe Jackson
and Happy Felsch sharpened their
batting eyes by driving out long
hits.
Cicotte, after warming up for a
few innings, declared he was able
to take the mound tomorrow.
Manager Gleason and most of his
men attended the races today.
