THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1919. 'JEW POLICE ARE HOT APPROVED BY GITYGOUNCIL Another Case of Commission ers Refusing to Grant Po ; lice Department Head a j Vote of Confidence. The city council committee of the whole yesterday declined to formally approve a list of 61 new policemen appointed by Police Commissioner Ringer since the court house riot, September 28. "I would like to have the council approve thisist," said the police commissioner. , "I think that this list should be gone over with a fine-tooth comb," recommended Acting Mayor Ure, whereupon the commissioners voted with the acting mayor, rather than with the police commissioner. " It was manifestly another case of the council refusing to grant Mr. Ringer a vote of confidence. The police commissioner conceded that Maj.' C M. White, who is acting as ' police inspector, temporarily, stated that some of these new policemen should be weeded out. Commissioners Not Satisfied. Mr. Ringer added that his depart ment had investigated each applicant for the police department before the . appointment was made, but that ex planation did not satisfy the com missioners, who are going to make ' some investigations on their own account. The list submitted by Mr. Ringer was placed on file and the men will merely serve as policemen on six months' probation. The point was that the commissioners ' were not willing at this time to ap prove the appointments of Mr. Ringer. Mr. Ringer felt the situation keenly, for of late he has been re ceiving the support of a working majority of the council in at least some, propositions. A succession of overt and indiscreet acts by po . licemen, has caused the commission ers to act, with more caution in matters pertaining to the police de partment. The committee of the whole yes terday morning also refused to rec ommend for passage, Mr. Ririger's new police department ordinance, which was offered last week and referred over for consideration yes terday. Besides providing I for an increase of salary for the patrol men, aa authorized in an act bv the recent special session of the fegis- j lature, this ordinance contemplates ; granting to the chief of police au thority to demote, promote.' or transfer any member of the police department without the O. K. or recommendation of the police com missioner. s Action is Deferred. The existing ordinance requires reference of these matters to the police commissioner before the chief of police can act Mr. Ringer want ed this ordinance recommended for passage yesterday, but the commit tee of the whole deferred action for another week. , Russell Norgaard, one of the new police appointees, was identified to the council committe of the whole as the man who intervened in be half of Mayor Smith when the mob had a rone around the neck of the mayor, September 28. The list of 61 new policemen, as submitted to the council by Mr. Ringer, follows: ' Clifford Baldwin, Arlo W. Barnes, Frank J. Bilek, Ralph Brazil, James H.

Mich- BETTER THAN CALOMEL Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets Are a Harmless Substitute Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets are the result of Dr. Edwards' determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. For 17 years he used these tablets (a vegetable compound mixed with olive oil) in bis private practice with great success. They do all the good that calomel does but have no bad after effects. , No pains, no griping, no injury to the gums or danger from acid foods yet they stimulate the liver and bowels. Take Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets when you feel "logy' and "heavy." Note how they clear clouded brain and perk up the spirits. 10c and 25c a box.
