MAYOR SMITH IS
BACK IN OFFICE
GOOD HEALTH
; Declares He Got Full of Elec
tricity While Recover
ing From Injuries of
Riot Night.
Mayor Smith returned home v
terday morning, after an absence of
-more than five weeks, stating that
, while he was in the south he was
recharging the dynamo.
"There is some fight in me yet.'
he remarked to a group of friends
who met nun at the station when
the morning Chicasro train arrived.
He went direct to the city hall,
where he presided at the regular
OnilMAil - - 11 ' , I
i-uuiiuii meeting, me council cnam
ber and mayor's office were deco
rated with flowers for the occasion
of his horne-comine.
"I am feeling fine except that the
use of my right arm has not been
completely restored," the mayor
said. "A physician in the south ad
vised that I take treatments and in
time my arm would be normal
again."
The mayor stated that while away
he did-not keep in touch with affairs
in Omaha except as he may have
seen an Omaha paper occasionally.
Questioned as to removal of the
chief of police and the proposed
transfer of the police commissioner,
he said he was not j-eady to com
mit himself; that he wished to con
fer with the city commissioners
first and get a line of what has oc
curred during his absence.
"I d-3 believe," added the mayor,
"that money may now be spent for
increasing the police department
and for buying new eqoipment,
whereas before the court house af
fair it could . not have been done."
. He was not inclined to go into any
of the details of the situation in con
. section with the attack which was
made upon him at the court house,
September 28.
Coal Strike Comment '
While stopping over in Chicago
Monday, he stated that he met some
business friends, who expressed the
opinion that the coal strike would
be broken this week.
The mayor was in a local hospital
10 days after the court house riot,
then he went to Excelsior Springs
for a few days and later to the home
of a son at Haines City, Fla. Mrs.
Smith and daughter, Ida, accom
panied him on the journey.
In the , party which met the
mayor at the station yesterday were:
City Commissioners Ure, Falconer
and Ringer, Chief of Police Eber
stein, O. M. Olson, the mayor's
secretary; T. H. Weirich, superin
tendent of the board of public wel
fare; Joseph Sherry, Robert
Holmes, Rev. Titus Lowe, O. A.
Scott and F. L. Weaver, city at
torney. The mayor refused to pose for a
photograph at the station.
Mayor Smith is not favorably im.
pressed by Police Commissioner
, Ringer's new ordinance, which Con
templates extending to the chief of
police the power to promote, de
mote or transfer any member of the
police department without referring
the matter to th police commis
sioner. , ''This is' a power that should be
used gingerly," said the mayor.
1 "Giving the chief of police authority
to discharge a man because he may
not like the color of his hair, for in
stance, is a matter that should be
given serious consideration."
The mayor, on previous occasions.
has expressed himself strongly in
favor of civil service.
This new ordinance was brought
up for consideration by the city
council committee of the whole
Monday morning when Mr. Ringer
urged that it be recommended for
passage, but the council decided to
hold it over until the mayor should
return. It will be called up for dis-
cussion next Monday morning. .
; . Visits the C. of C.
Mayor Smith quietly entered the
dining room in the Chamber of .Com
merce yesterday and seated himseif
at a side table.
He was soon spied by the crowd
of diners which thronged the room,
all of whom rose simultaneously
' and applauded him.
Members of the executive com
mittee, then in session, advanced
to the mayor and invited him to
their meeting, where he remained
for about 45 minutes, listening to
, words of welcome and congratula
tions from members of the board.
Bandit Holds Up and
Robs Woman in Home
In Broad Daylight
An unmasked bandit held up and
robbed Mrs. Mabel Pickrel, 420
North Fourteenth street, at noon
yesterday in her home. The man es
caped after taking $6 from the wo
man. Police were called and scoured
the nearby railroad yards for the
robber.
Mrs. Pickrel said she answered
a knock at her back door and was
confronted on the porch by a
roughly dressed man. When she
asked him what he wanted, he drew
a revolver and, pointing it at her
face, commanded her to "hand over
some jack."
The bandit followed the woman
Into the house and threatened to
kill her if she "didn't come across
with some money."
Mrs. Pickrel led him to a bedroom
where she took $6 from a purse and

Horse Market Will
Pick Up Soon as the
Strikes Are Settled
I.C. Gallup arrived from the east
this week and was seen at hii old
stand at the stock yards Tuesday.
According to Mr. Gallup the long
series of strikes in the east has put
the horse business on the bad side
of the ledger. He said he had visited
most of the eastern horse markets
and that the longshoremen's strike
had greatly affected the horse mar
kets of New York, Boston and
other coast cities.
"The horse is still an important
factor on the farm, the road and
in the city in most places I visit
ed," said Mr. Gallup. "It seems the
automobile, the. truck and the trac
tor are not as numerous in the east
as the west.
'The strikes have held tip ship
ments of horses wanted in Europe
and the eall of the east and south
for horses is good.- The Horse and
mule business will be back to nor
mal as soon as the strikes are set
tled and next spring promises to
bring a good market."
Minister Expresses
Surprise That He Had
Endorsed a Slate
Rev. Titus Lowe, pastor of First
Methodist church, yesterday ex
pressed surprise that he had in
dorsed a constitutional convention
slate promoted by the "Committee
of 500."
"The first knowledge I had that
I had made such indorsements was
obtained through a letter received
yesterday -from the Committee of
500, giving the names of those in
dorsed and showing my name as' a
member of the executive committee
behind the indorsements," the min
ister stated to a group of friends in
the city Rail. . ' "
Questioned on the subject, Rev.
Mr. Lowe admitted that his name
had been used in this connection
without his consent. He did not
say that he might have not in
dorsed the candidates shown in the
letter, but he indicated that he
should at least have been consulted
as to the use of his name in this
manner.
He further stated that he had forr
gotten that he was on the executive
committee of the Committee of 500,
but. on jogging his memory, he
said he recollected that he was a
members of the committee.

County Commissioner
Assails Delays In
Court House Repairs
No work at repairing the court
house, damaged by the fire of Sep
tember 28, will be done this year if
present delay tactics are pursued,
declared Coupnty Commissioner
Sophus Neble yesterday.
The four committees which made
reports on the cost of repairing the
building all declared that a "quan
tity survey" of the building must he
made before the work can proceed.
This would take about seven weeks,
it is stated.
The question of restoring the rec
ords was taken up yesterday when
the commissioners called a commit
tee to meet Wednesday afternoon
with the board to appoint five men
who shall report on the J probable
cost.
The committee which was called
consists of George Lindley, Cliff
Sadler, E. P. Mathews, Herbert
Neal and Harry Reed, representing
the abstractors; Harry Christie, C.
G. Carlberg and Charles Grimmel,
representing the Real Estate Ex
change; and John Flack, Paul W.
Kuhns and Theodore Helgren, rep
resenting the building and loan associations.
What Happened to the
Electric Lights at the
Athletic Club, and How?
"Who turned them lights out?
Howcum? Whuffoh? Man. some
body's doing some foolishness round
here.
Thus spake Rufus Rastus Johnson
Brown, colored help at the Athletic
club when the lights went but sud
denly last night. Rufus was caught
balancing a tray of dishes and was
afraid to take another step for fear
of bumping into somebody with a
resultant "ram, bam, jamboree" of
crockery on the floor.
For half an hour the darkness, or
semi-darkness, continued. Candles
were procured, and with two tallow
dips at each table the meals of the
diners were renewed. Down in the
basement a bowling game was con
tinued by the aid of a couple of can
dles, some of the players making as
many strikes in the obscurity as they
did under the electrics, as testified
to by various players. Facetious
persons suggested that with all the
"shines" available jn the club there
should have been plenty of light
without the incandescents.

which entails the adoption of a new
constitution, Mr. Gregg declared
that no matter what action was
taken, Omaha1 would not be the
loser.
"The reorganization of the asso
ciation will do away with much
jealousy and strife," he sai4
"Omaha's attitude has always been
the best and is appreciated by every
member of the association. Its
best homes have been thrown open
to give shelter to the visitors, which
in itself is a great generosity."
Teachers cast votes for new asso
ciation officers when they registered
yesterday. The votes will be counted
Saturday, the day after the conven
tion closes, and the names of those
receiving the highest number will
be placed on a ballot which will be
mailed to the teachers, who will
then pick the new officers.

Cattle Receipts today were estimated
at 16,800 head about the same site run
aa yesterday, a fairly liberal amount for
this time of the year. Very few corn
feds were on offer and most of them
were' of rather poor quality. The mar
ket was very slow with a weaker ten
dency, nothing changing hands on the
early rounds. There was quite a liberal
supply of cows and mixed stock here
today and prices ruled about 25o lower.
Feeder were' In fair demand with the
better kinds at about steady prices, but
the poorer grades were sold as much aa
16c lower. Better grades of stock cows
and heifers were about steady. The sup
ply of western grass cattle was moder
ate and the market slow with a weaker
tendency.

Export Trade of U. S.
In Liquor Mounts as Dry
Wave Hits Country
Washington Nov. 4. Radical
changes in the foreign trade of the
United States in spirits, wines and
liquors due to national prohibition
legislation are reported by the De
partment of Justice.
For the eight months ending with
August 1919, the value of liquors
exported was 19 times as great as
the imports, while in the year 1914
the value of the imports was five
times the value of the exports. In
toxicating liquors imported during
the first eight months of the present
year totaled $516,214 in value, or at
the rate of $774,324 for the complete
year, while in 1917 the import trade
of the United States in this com
modity amounted to $17,679,132, and
in 1914 to $20,347,546.
Exports for the eight months end
ing with August amounted to $9,
989,058, as compared with $5,883,013
for the corresponding period ' in
1918 and $8,417,178 in 1917. Con
tinuation of this export trade is ex
pected by the department in view
of the great quantities of liquors
now in bonded distillery and cus
toms warehouses.

Chicago Grand and Provisions. '
Chicago, Nov. -4. Corn reacted some
what today from the 10 cent advance
whljh had taken place In the preceding
two sessions. Values closed unsettled,
to 1 cent net lower, with December
$1.36 to $136. and May $1.3654, to
$1.354. Oats finished to cents
down, and provisions varying from 17
cents decline to 5 cents advance.
General selling carried the corn mar
ket sharply down st the opening, and
temporarily there was a notable absence
of any real support for prices. Most of
the Initial selling was based on a prev
alent opinion that something of a set
back would bo natural after the sudden
big advance. Besides the hog market
had weakened and weather conditions
were more favorable for work in the
fields, and for maturing the crop. Pre
dictions of a larger supply of cara tended
also to handicap the bulls. Later, how
ever sentiment changed to a consider
able degree owing to signs that the
amount of com available for Immediate
uae was too scanty to satisfy current
demands. The ne-irer-by options were
conspicuous In the rallies which followed.
Increased rural offerings mad oats
relatively weaker than corn.
Provisions averaged lower chiefly aa a
result of downturns In the hog markot.
Strong interests, though, were buyers of
lard.

REDS PLANNING
TO WRECK (J. S.
GOVERNMENT
Danger Facing America Dis
closed in Official Letter
. Made , Public by State
Department.
Washington, Nov. 4. The Russia,
bolsheviki "have availed themselves
of every opportunity to initiate in
the United States a propaganda .
aimed to bring about the forcible
overthrow of our present form of
government," Chairman Wadsworth
of the senate military committee has
been' informed by Assistant Secre
tary Phillips in a letter made public
at the State department.
The bolsheviki, Mr. Phillips said,
have at their disposal large quanti
ses of Rold, partly a revenue of the
former Russian government and,
partly a reserve belonging to the
Rumanian government, and it is con
sidered important not to give them
means through commercial transac
tions to bring this cold into the
United States, where it could be
used to sustain their propaganda of
"violence and unreason."'
No License to Ship Goods.
Mr. Phillips said that while thert
was no blockade of retrograd so
far as the United States was con
cerned, no licenses for the shipment
of goods to bolsheviki Russia were
being issued. This policy of non
intercourse, he added, could not be
continued after the proclamation of
peace without additional legislation.
A further reason for the adoption
of this policy, Mr. Phillips wrote.
aa ilia nwnnrl m f t 4 Vl aS Krt 1 ll VI Lf I
so to manipulate the food supply as
to bring about the extinction of the
middle classes.
"It has seemed altogether inad
missible," Mr. Phillips said, "that
food and other necessaries of Amer
ican origin should be allowed to be
come the means of sustaining such
a program of political oppression.'
Grave Problem of Relief. -
Not unmindful of the distress of
many innocent persons within the
bolshevik lines as the result of the
inability to import food from Amer
ica, the United States, Mr. Phillips
continued, still was seeking a solu
tion of the problem of relieving
these people. ,
" Meantime, he said, provisions nav .
been made for the immediate relief
of the people in areas freed by cur
rent military operations front bol
shevik control. Moreover, stores of
food estimated to be adequate for
the relief of Petrograd for nearly
one month have been delivered at
VlDorg, nniauu, uy utc iuviiw.
relief administration and definite
arrangements have been made with,
the United States grain corporation
to provide further shipments of flour
for this region, in the event of its
liberation, and for the people in the
north of Russia which is under the
control of anti-bolshevik forces.

of the latter's resignation as secre
