Took Part iff Riot
Should Make the
''J' Explanations.
J. Dean Ringer, police commis
sioner, snrakinc at a Kiwanta rlnh
, luncheon in the Chamber of Com
merce rooms yesterday, declared
that he need make no explanation
for the failure of the police depart
ment to stop rioting in Omaha. The
people who started the riot are the
ones who should explain, he said.
He offered a 40-minute alibi for
his department's failure in the great
v crisis, however. In substance he as
serted that the unrest which brought
on the riot in Omaha was nation
wide, and not caused by any activity
ol police here, that for some reason
the people of Omaha did not re
spect the police department as they

when the crisis arose; and that the
police might soon be in a position

Admits Demoralization.
"Propaganda against the police de

ized it," he declared. "The war in

had criticised the army of this
country.
In his eagerness to convince his
audience that his police department
was blameless, Mr. Kinger referred
to tne latest issue of the Literary
Digest, quoting an article which
called attention to the lynching of
tour negroes tn other parts of the
country. Unfortunately, the article
did not tell of any except the Doug
las county court house being burn
ed, but Mr. Ringer did not call at
tention to this.
Mr. Ringer, during his speech,
gave his definition of a bootlegger.
"I have been criticised for run
ning down the small bootlegger and
overlooking larger things," he said.
"People wonder why no large busi
ness men are arrested for bootleg
ging. Any man who carries a pint
on his hip while on the streets is a
bootlegger. The big business men,
who drink, take their liquor to their
homes, where the law allows them
to have it Hence they are not ar
rested." In closing, Mr. Ringer declared
that he was going through on the
principles on which he had started.
f'If I fail." he said, all right, "but
my conscience will not be troubled." J

News Pictures While You
Wait! Telegraphed to Bee
Same Day Events Take Place
Wonderful Invention Will Enable Readers of This
Paper to See Portraits of Personages or Views
of Incidents in Advanc6 of Photos Sent by Slow
Mail The Bee Only Paper in Omaha to Do This.
Until Now, all up-to-date papers
have had to keep thousands of pic
tures of celebrities, statesmen, poli
ticians, leaders of every form of
human endeavor and even pictures
of ships, noted airplanes and build
ings, etc. in their files or 'morgue"
as it is called, so that in case the
subject of any of these pictures is
involved in the daily news, a pic
ture can be published along with the
item. Most of these pictures are
never used, but they must be kept
in case something might happen.
Can't Be Foreseen.
But in the great majority of cases,
the news that interests people in
volves new faces, new objects, new
events, and as these things can not
be foreseen, it seldom happens that
the right picture is on hand.
I he Bee has a morgue containing
thousands of portraits, and when
something happens that makes one
of these pictures interesting to the
public out it comes. But, like all
other papers, it has hundreds on
hand that are not used.
If a senator dies, if a king is as
sassinated, if a well-known ship is
wrecked, a paper with a morgue can
publish a picture along witn xne
news. But the greater part oi tne
time the needed pictures are never
Di vorce
Courts
on hand till they can be mailed, and
then they arrive several days after
the news is old. A morgue might
furnish portraits of two leading
wrestlers who are to compete for a
championship, but to publish a pic
ture of the tall that won the match
in the next sporting edition would
be an immediate vicinity . of the
event.
Photos by Telegraph.
But the invention and perfection
of telephotography has made it pos
sible for progressive papers to
change all this, for pictures like the
above can now be telegraphed.
When new characters come into no
toriety or fame, when important
events happen, when accidents
occur, the pictures can oe tele
graphed and published imme
diately instead of depending on the
mails to get them around several
days late.
The Bee will soon have news pic
tures telegraphed, and if the Wool
worth building topples over with
amazement at the idea, it will pub
lish a picture of the catastrophe in
the next issue. It will receive and
publish on an average of three pic
tures a week, and will be the only
paper in Omaha to receive pictures
as well as news by teiegrapn.
RADICAL CHANGE
IN DIPLOMATIC
SERVICEJJRGED
Manufacturers' Export Asso
ciation Suggests All Except
Ambassadors Be Put
Under Civil Service.
New York, Oct. 17. Sweeping
changes in the diplomatic and con
sular services of the United States
were suggested in resolutions
adopted here today at the annual
convention of the American Manu
facturers' Export association.
The principal resolutions called
for placing t'tc entire diplomatic and
consular systems, .with the excep
tion of ambassadors and ministers,
under proper civil service regula
tions; substantially increasing salar
ies; abundantly providing for living
expenses and purchasing and main
taining 'appropriate olncial resi
dences." t
It also was suggested in the res
olutiops, which the association plans
to bring to the attention of con
press, that a first secretary be per
manently attached to each embassy
or legation with life, tenure and that
applicants for minor positions be re
quired to pass "a severe examina
tion" in international law, history,
economics and politics.
Cinder In. Gob's Eye Leads
to Visiting Nurse Romance
Omaha Evangel of Mercy Wecls Sailor Whose Dis
abled Optic She Restored to Normal Condition
Cupid Busy While Obstruction Being Removed.
For tree planting a fertilizing
cartridge has been invented that
pulverizes the soil and enriches it
with the nitrates in the explosive
used.
Mrs. Ralph Hershey, nec Annie
Andrews, has resigned from the
service of the Visiting Nurse asso
ciation of Omaha, with which or
ganization she has been identified
as head of the infant welfare work.
The reason of her resignation is
due indirectly to her ability to min
ister to the disabilities of adults as
well as infants, and one particular
ministration of this kind resulted in
her marriage a few days ago.
It is the latest romance within
the ranks of Omaha nurses.
Mrs. Hershey served several eve
nines each week for a period of
months as hospital nurse in canteen
work at Union station. Fate placed
her in the way of a sailor who suf
fered a cinder in his eye at Union
station. He tried to remove the ob
struction himself, but the more he
tried the more pain he suffered.
Who would remove the offending
cinder from the sailor's eye?
Annie v Andrews, nurse,' quickly
responded, and in less time than it
takes to tell it, ; she restored the
disabled eye to its normal condi
tion. While the nurse was removing
the cinder from one eye of the
sailor, he used the other eve to
good advantage, for he looked into
a pair of blue eyes and forthwith he
capitulated. He thanked his evan
gal of mercy, gallantly gave her his
name and time did the rest.
A tiny cinder was the center of
this little romance.
Mr. Hershey was 18 months in
the naval service. He is now em
ployed by an Omaha automobile
firm. Mrs. Hershey came to Oma
ha from England. She is a brunette.
Members of the Visiting Nurse as
sociation gave her a present.
