RED PAMPHLETS
BEING EXAMINED
BY AUTHORITIES
Following Raid on Hall Man
Arrested for Distributing
I. W. W. Literature to
Pedestrians. -
Thousands of pamphlets of al
leged anarchistic literature confis
cated Sunday afternoon by police
and military in the raid on the local
meeting hall of the I. W. W. at 104
North Thirteenth street, when 17
professed members of the organiza
tion were arrested, are being exam
ined by police and federal authori
ties. The raid was made during a
lecture on "Evolution and Revolu
tion" by E. Lerman, chairman of
the meeting.
A quantity of "rfd" literature
containing the "fundamental princi
ples of the I. VV. W." was found on
John Quinn. 4217 South Twentieth
street, late Sunday night, police say,
when Policeman Barnes came upon
the man distributing pamphlets to
pedestrians near a pool hall at
Twenty-fourth and Vinton streets.
Quinn is being held at the Central
police station with the other "'wob
blies." A long article on the riot in Oma
ha September 28 was found in "The
Oiu Big Union," official organ of
the I. W. W. The magazine treated
the Omaha riot as "an insurrection
and race war against society." De
nunciation of the action of military
authorities in suppressing the riot
was contained in the ar.ticle. Sam
ples of all tie literature taken in the
raid Sunday are being examined by
County Attorney Shotwell.
Shotwell Says" He's Ready to
Proceed Against the I. W. W.
"I shall proceed promptly and
vigorously with prosecutions of
the . I. W. W.'s arrested in the
round-up Sunday if there is proof
that any of them are guilty of syndi
calism or sabotage," said County
Attorney Shotwell yesterday.
The law does not make mere
membership in this organza
tion a crimw however, and we must
stick to the law even in these cases."
Woman Arrested With x
Dogs Released When
Charge Is Not Pressed
Mrs. Mildred Ashlyn, dog fancier,
of New York City, who has been
detained by Omaha police ai a
fugitive from justice or the alleged
theft of three English bulldogs from
Dr. William Grimes of Hawthorne,
N. T., was dismissed of the charge
in Central police court yesterday
uopn failure of the complaining wit
ness to have rwr brought back to
the New Jersey city.
Mrs. Ashlyn was arrested here
three weeks ago and held in jail
for 10 days pending the action of
police authorities in Hawthorne
against her. Omaha police have
not learned why the complaining
witness against Mrs. Ashlyn failed
to prosecute her. Mrs. Ashlyn was
released from jail 10 days ago on
bond.
At the time of her arrest she told
Omaha police she was a victim of a
"frame-up because she refused to
marry a, veterinary in Hawthorne,
N. J when he declined to allow her
t8 keep her dogs at his home."
Mrs. Ashlyn Jiad been house
keeper for the seven, children of
Br. Grimes, she said.

$1,000,000 collected from the 800,000
members of the organization; the
independent drive of the knights
amounting to over $14,000,000 and
finally the K. C. portion of the
uiited war fund drive which
amounted to $25,000,000, a part of
which is yet to be collected.
This custodian of millions is a
Washington business man with a
keen executive ability. Mr. Callahan
is the general manager of the Nor
folk and Washington Steamboat
company, a former director of the
war savings campaign for the Dis
trict of Columbia and- vice chairman

OFFICER CHARGED
WITH BEATING UR
BOY WILL RESIGN
Police Heads, However, Say
He Wasn't Asked to
Quit
O. P. Peterson, policeman, told
his .superior officers at central police-
station that he will resign from
the department. A bulletin at the
police station states that Peterson's
uniform is for sale. Police Com
missioner Ringer and Chief of Po
lice Eberstein yesterday stated that
they have not received, the resigna
tion and had not asked him to re
sign. Last week Anson H. Bigelow; at
torney for Fred Miller, a young
ma'n who was arrested by Peterson
a few weeks ago, presented to Mr.
Ringer an affidavit of the arrest and
also demanded that an investigation
be made of the manner in which
Peterson handled Miller.
Firemen at the Nineteenth and
Harney station volunteered infor
mation that they witnessed Peter
son abuse the young man who had
arrived in Omaha during the even
ing of his arrest, carried $130 in his
pocket, had a machinists' union, card
and had a baggage check for his
tool box which he left at a station.
"I understand from Captain Va
nous at the station that Peterson
said his father, who died last week,
obtained a promise that Peterson
would quit the police department as
soon as he could," said Chief Eber
stein. Chauncey Olcott Is
Bitten by Mad Dog-
Three Others Attacked
Chauncey Olcott, 4 years old,
1520 South Twenty-fifth avenue,
was bitten by a mad dog Sunday
afternoon while playing in front of
his home, according to police. The
boy's head was badly lacerated, say
police surgeons who dressed the
wounds. He was taken to the Uni
versity hospital. The dog was
killed.
Three other dogs, which police
say have infested the neighborhood
for the past two days, were also
killed. It was reported that three
other children had been bitten by
these dogs, but no names were given
in the reports.

WE HAVE A BOOK, just published, which
gives the history of the first '50 Pierce-Arrow
trucks made. One was destroyed by fire, one
was retired after seven years drastic use, and
the others all remain in continuous operation,
still paying dividends to their owners.
Where are the first 50 trucks
of any other make?
If even one survives, it is not the type its manu
facturer is making and selling today.
The original principles of construction main
N tained and improved in Pierce-Arrow design are
, now standard practice. They have proved their
reliability. They give results which make first
costs unimportant
