THE 'feEEr OMAHA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1919. 11 Failure of Delivery of Municipal Spuds Makes Him a 'Doubter' Following public complaint that be had not received the .delivery of municpal potatoes which were sold by the city last week, J. F.. Reese, 498 Mason street, declares that he has a promise from Mayor Smith, that his check for the undelivered potatoes (will be sent him, in lieu of the vegetables which the mayor states cannot be delivered. A letter written to The Bee by Mr. Reese on the subject follows: "And now comes another promise from the mayor's office. After mak ing daily promises to deliver the spuds tomorrow, now comes the word that 'We are unable to make delivery,-and will mail check, for money paid.' "Understand, we have not re- cetved the check, only a promise of the check, but" hope for the check tomorrow. , "Well, we have been so long hop ing for something tomorrow and hoping in vain thauwe will not be disappointed eyen when tomorrow comes. I only, hope everybody has been benefited as much as I have by that car of spuds. "Don't know how any of us could have lived through the month of November without - them. Thank you Mr. Potato Man."

V BE OTTK WINDOWS TODAY COMPARE OUR VALUES ALWAYS CORREST APPAREL FOR MEN AND WOMEN PROBE OF OMAHA POLICE PUSHED BY GOVERNOR- Since Grand Jury Report Is More Determined ThanJ - Ever On Exhaustive Investigation. V . r x . Word was received from Lincoln yesterday that since the special grand jury submitted its report cen soring the police department for not preventing the court house riot of September 28, Governor McKelvie is more determined than ever over the absolute necessity of an exhaus tive investigation. The governor expressed his hope that the situation, here would be ready for his special representative, Ralph Wilson, to start his orobe in connection with the city commis sioners the first of next week. ' Ure Wants Changes. Commenting on the grand jury's report, city commissioners yester day reiterated their belief that changes would take place in the de partment within a short while. "The police department must be given tfle proper sort of leadership, asserted Commissioner Ure. Commissioner Butler said there was no sense in providing the police department with more men unless they are given a competent leader and head. ' "Intorapetent," Says Butler. "I am convinced that both negli gence and incompetency marked the actions of police officers and- men the night of the riot," Mr. Butler de clared. : Commissioner Zimman asserted he would have a statement to make later. . "Changes in the police depart ment are badly needed," declared Commissioner Towl. Mayor Smith Thursday night said he still was conducting a personal investigation of police conduct on. the night of the riot. "Shame to Omaha.- "The outrages and disorders of Sunday night in Omaha - have brought the flush of shame to the cheeks of every law-abiding citizen of this city. sThe burning of the court house, trotv lynching of , the negro and the subsequent disorders of the mob could have been pre vented in the afternoon if decisive action had been taken." This i an extract from the speech of Howard Baldrige, delivered at the Chamber of Commerce two days after the riot befora a gathering of 100 representative business men and attended by Gen. Leonard Wad and Governor S. B. McKelvie "Immediate reorganization and doubling the size of the police force." was the 1 unanimous senti ment of the meeting. General Wood,' in no uncertain lan guage, following his extended stay in Omaha immediately after the riot, expatiated on the incompetency of the heads of the Omaha police department. .Then came Governor McKelvie s demand for the dismissal of Chief Eberstein. following the chief's piti ful inability and miserable failure to measure up to the situation. "The absence of the police chief and commissioner at the crucial pe riod, from 3:30 to 6, was unfortu nate," is in part the comment of the grand jury on the situation which prompted General Wood, Governor McKelvie and 1UU business men im mediately to demand a "reorganiza tion of the police department." Surprise was voiced by other members of, the' grartd, jury when their attention was called to the in dividual report submitted by Fore man John W. Towle attempting to exonerate Capt. Henry P. Haze and the police generally. Captain Haze was in charge of the policemen at the court house. At 4 in the after noon he sent word to Captain Heit feld that the crowd had been dis persed, according to Captain Heit feld, and 50 policemen, being held for emergency at the station, were sent to their hom.s at the very hOiir they could have saved the sit uation under a capable leader, in the opinion of General Wood, Member of U. S. Naval Mission To Brazil Drowned In Bay Rio Janeiro, Nov. 21. Lieutenant Commander Lathrop, attached ta the United States naval mission to Brazil, was attacked with heart failure while bathing in Rio bay' this afternoon ; nd was drowned.
