THfe BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY,- NOVEMBER 1. 1919. MOTORCYCLE MAN DECLARES RINGER BROKE HIS WORD Sam Board Asserts Police Commissioner' Changed His Mind Over Night In Busi ness Deal. "It was the worst business deal I eer heard of a man doing," declar CiiSani Board, manager of the Oma ha Bicycle Co., while relating a re cent experience he had with Police Commissioner Ringer, in connection with the purchase by the city of seven motorcycles for the police de partment. , Mr. BoartT asserted that a week ago he delivered seven new Indian motorcycles to the police station, on a gentlemen's agreement that they would be purchased by the city. He added that the deal went so far that even his competitors t:re congratulating him oil his suc cess. He further alleges that Mr; Kinger cnangea ms mino over night, without even having the courtesy to offer an explanation. The motorcycle agent is substan tiated in most details by Sergt. Tom Baugham, who has charge of the motor equipment at Central police station. Mr. Ringer denied the al legation of Mr. Board. Says Officers Wanted Indians. Mr. Board stated that when he went to Mr. Ringer about the mat ter a week ago the police commis sioner stated that he did not know anything about motorcycles, but that he intended.to abide by the de cision of Sergeant Baughman and the motorcycle policemen. "I then went to Baughman, who told me that 12 of the IS motorcycle police men expressed a preference for In dians," said Mr. Board. "Baughman further told me that Commissioner Ringer had told him to go ahead and take them if he wanted these machines. I told Baughman I wanted a more definite understanding', so Baughman saw Mr. Ringer again and came to my store in the afternoon of last Fri day to tell me that (.Commissioner Ringer had even made out a reso lution for Indians and would send the resolution to the council in that form. Baughman added that the commission had expressed a desire to get this machine early so as to have the men in readiness for Hal lowe'en. ' "I delivered seven machines last Friday. There was no j other thought bu that the machines had been bought. Baughman even told me that jthere was only the red tape of putting the resolution through the city council to close the trans action. " "Changed His Mind." "On Tuesday noon of this week Baughman called me over the tele phone to say that Mr. Ringer's sec retary had advised that the Indians would be sent back. I immediately went to see Mr. Ringer, who stated that he had changed his mind. He admitted that he had said that her would leave the selection of ma chines the riders, but told me that he had changed his mind and that that was tall there was to it; that the riders' would have to use the machines he bought, and he added that only four or five riders knew anything about motorcycles, anyway. "I asked him about the expense we had been put to and he replied that that was our lookout. He told me that if we were not ready to take a chance, we should not have sent the machines. I replied that we did not think we were taking any chances; that we were told by his representative that it was as good as a sale. Mr. Ringer admit ted having told Baughman'about the Indian machines, but insisted that he had a right to change his mind. It was the rawest, rottenest deal I ever sawva white man do in my s Made Out Resolution. Sergeant Baughman admitted that there was considerable foundation for Mr. Board's belief in the sale okthe Indians to the city. "But I did not tell Mr.1 Board that Mr. Ringer had made out a resolu tion for these machines," Baughman said. "I advised Board not to go too far in the deal. It -is a fact that all except one of the motor cycle policemen recommended In dian motorcycles and I recommend these machines to Mr. Ringer who then decided to buy another kind of motorcycle." "I never spoke to Mr. Board at all about buying Indian motorcycles. I recall that I met him at the police station and I told him that any ma r.hines he placed there would be en tirely on his own responsibility," said Mr. Ringer. In an experimental way passen ger airplane service has been estab-l lished between Venice and Milan. 1 Daughter Says She Took Mother's Hoard To Put It in the Bank Marion Donahey, 55 years old, 222 Cedar street, returned $1,000 to her mother, Mrs. Mary Donahey, 77 years old, Thursday night following an investigation by detectives in which the daughter is said to have confessed having taken the money.
