I MlaaeBasMaHat er ' The city council yesterday after noon concluded the bearing of evi dence in connection with charges filed by Chief of Police Eberstein against William Coulter, policeman, charged with cowardice on account of alleged refusal to' assist Mayor Smith when the latter was attacked at the court house, Sunday night, September 28. The council decided to consider the case in executive session and to announce its finding this morn ing. The charges were filed upon in formation furnished by Charles E. Metiger, 3323 South Twenty-fourth street, and Allen Mactiar, 3706 South Twenty-third street, live stock com mission men. When summoned as witnesses, Metzger and Mactjar tes tified thejr heard Coulter utter re marks which indicated that the po liceman approved of the conduct of the mob toward the mayor. Waves Bloody Vest The witnesses were conflicting in some of their statements. Metzger admitted the possibility of doubt in his identification of Coulter. Neither had known of the policeman prior to the alleged utterances. William Jamieson, attorney for Coulter, enlivened yesterday after noon's hearing by waving a blood stained white Vest which, he assert ed, had been worn' by his client while on duty at the court house. Jamieson fired this broadside at Police. Commissioner Ringer. "Is it true that you advised Capt.. John Briggs of the South Side police sta tion to recommend that Coulter en gage an attorney named Murdoch instead of myself?" Charges Against Briggs. That is not true," Mr. Ringer re plied, whereupon Jamieson an nounced that Briggs had so advised Coulter. It was then suggested that charges should be filed against Briggs. Mr. Coulter denied all of the allegations entered against him. He declared that on the night of the court house affair he did his full duty and that he was injured twice. "I threatened a group who said they would take my revolver," he , testified. "I saw the policemen ' in the window on the south side of the court house, and I yelled, 'For God's sake, get those policemen down!" . Tells of Riot He related that some of the riot ers divested policemen of their re volvers while they were passing on a ladder. He told of notes which were dropped from windows of the court house. One of the notes read that the mayor had been shot and that six men had been shot upstairs in the eourt house. , . "I told them to cut out the shoot ing up there, for they would kill, some innocent people," he added, "but they replied that they did not care." 500 People Shooting. .' He related tHe" effort of City Commissioner Zimman to address the mob from the vantage point of a fire truck, and he added that great excitement prevailed. He estimat ed that the crowd fired 10,000 shots at the negro's lifeless body within five minutes and during one stage of the riot he believed that 500 people were shooting. He said he endeav ored to prevent the lynching, but was overpoweredl Several witnesses testified to hav ing observed Coulter on the night of the riot, doing his work in vari ous locations of the disorder. Coul ter testified that at no time during the evening did he observe Mayor Smith. i - . Two Injured, Many Passengers Shaken Up, When Cars Crash Two women were injured, and many passengers shaken up, when two southbound cars collided at Twenty-fourth and Franklin streets shortly after 1 yesterday afternoon. Mrs. G. Rasnick, 1712 North Twenty-seventh street, was thrown bodily from the rear end of the first car. She was taken to her home in a taxicab, suffering from bruises of the body and a fractured limb. Mrs. Mary Kissicki. 6300 North Forty-second street, a passenger in the second car, was thrown forward in her seat, striking the back of the forward seat with her head. She was removed to the office of Police Surgeon Shook, who dressed her injuries. .i " The motorman of the second car escaped injury, although the glass from the front end of the car flew in all directions when it crashed into the rear end of the first car. Failure of his brakes to work was given as the cause of the accident My Heart and My Husband ADELE GARRISON'S New Phase of "Revelations of a Wife" Why Must Alice Holcombe See Madge at Once. "Marvin 719?" Alice Holcombe's voice, weary with the long strain of waiting through which she had passed while trying to reach me on the telephone, came to my ears over the wire from Patchogue. "Yes Alice?" "Oh-hr The exclamation, little more' than a whisper, betrayed the tension to which her nerves were wrought. "Is it really you? I've had such a time to get you." "Really and truly I hold the line just a moment" I put the receiver down, walked to the doors leading to the other rooms and closed them quitely, then returned to the telephone stand again. I knew that neither Katie nor any one of the group in the living room would open these doors .nce I had closed them, and I wished privacy for this conversation with Alice Holcombe. "Now I am ready," I said reassur ingly. "What can I do for you?" "There is a train leaving here in 15 minutes, reaching Marvin just two hours from now. Can you meet me there or let me come to the house as soon as I get in? I must see you at once. I have just learned something which you bught to know immediately. I repressed the impulse to tell her that I also had a message of a mo ment for her. She was overwrought as it was. There was no reason for adding one iota to her suspense. "Let me think a moment," I said. "I cannot -very well have you come here because I have the house full of guests, Junior " is one year old today" "Oh!" shev interrupted with quick contrition. "I ought not to trouble you today. And yet I " Her Plan. "Don't be silly," I interrupted de cisively. "Of course I'm going to' see you. I have itl Some one has gone to Cresthaven after the ices for the dinner; they will not deliver them. What time does your train reach Cresthaven?" "Wait a minute until I find out." She left the telephone, returning with the information. "Two o'clock." "Good, I will get Mr. Graham to drive me to Cresthaven in the car about that time. You get off at the station there, and we can talk while he goes after the ices. Then we will drive you back to Marvin station here. There is a train leaves here for Bay view about 2:45. Of course if we're late you can take the train directly from Cresthaven; but if not, the ride will be preferable to the wait." "That's awfully good of you," she said gratefully. "But your husband does he know will he object?" "Don't worry about that part of it," I advised a bit curtly. "Just get off the train at Cresthanven. I'll do the rest." "I'll be there," she promised earnestly. "Good-by." I turned from the telephone with mingled irritation and uneasiness. I did not quite see how I was to manage this trip to Cresthaven with out interfering with the smoothness of my dinner arrangements. I had planned to send Alfred Durkee and Leila in the car for the ices, know ing not only that they would enjoy the chance for the little trip a deux, but that I would have time for the last touches on my own costume, to Junior's appearance, and to my tabel that as hostess were almost impera tive. What Madge Reserved. But there was no alternative, and with feet that were leaden I went in search of Dicky. I dreaded his comment, for I had guessed shrewd ly that he did not particularly care fore Alice Holcombe, and I knew that a summons from her would not appeal to him as would one from Lillian, for instance. .. His words of the night before, however, came to me reassuringly. "I don't think I've ever failed you when you appealed to me, have I?" With a resolute grip upon my cour age I resolved to lay the case before him frankly, instead of trying to dis guise my real reason for going, as I had been tempted to do. I hunted for him discreetly, for I did not wish to make any mystery out of our going, and was lucky cnougTf to find him alone in his room. "Well, old dear! What's on your mind?" he began flippantly, then at something he saw in my face, he sprang up and came over to me'. "Any trouble, sweetheart? Any thing I can do?" he asked. I told him of Alice s message, and also, though with a little vaguely worried feeling, as I thought of his old-time fault of v thoughtless gar rulity, of the mysterious man about whom I wished to ask Alice. He listened attentively, but there was a glint of mockery in his eyes when 1 had finished. "Of course we'll go," he said, "be cause you've asked mci But I think the man is probably a real assistant of Stockbridge's attorneys, and as for Miss Holcombe, I'll bet her ex citement will turn out to be a mare's nest. And if you'll pardon the sug gestion, I'd turn over those school papers the man wants." "I think I shall," I said, for I could not reveal even to Dicky the secret concerning Alice Holcombe, which Kenneth Stockbndge . had placed in my hands. (Continued Tommorrow.)

The growing importance of Oma ha as a manufacturing and jobbing center has won new recognition through coming of the Potts-Turnbull Advertising company of Chica go and Kansas City, located in the Brandeis Theater building. The Potts-Tiirnbull concern is nationally known as one of the biggest adver tising organizations and the com pany, has made an unusual record of success in planning publicity and merchandising campaigns in practi cally all lines of trade. The coming of this concern to Omaha is an indication of the ex pansion of business in the city of Omaha and the trade territory that looks to Omaha as its commercial capital. The company handles ad vertising and merchandising in all its ramifications and is already serv ing a large number of clients in this section. The production man ager, Albert G. Degan, has recently come to Omaha to live and is en thusiastic over the prospects of the company here. "Advertising is the dominant fac tor in modern business," said Mr. Degen in talking about the com pany's plans and present connec tions. "The last few years has seen advertising come into its own. The United States government was not long in realizing the importance of well-directed publicity during the war. Paper bullets played a vital part in hurling back the Germans and in getting the people of the cen eral empires to see the light "Then the end came quickly. We all know what advertising accom plished in putting over the various loans and war drives. The wide awake business man today is alive to the wonderful results possible through comprehensive and studied advertising plans. He sees evidences all around him.
