" v.. THE BEE:. OMAHA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1919. r UNFORTUNATES OF CITY SUFFER WITHOUT COAL Many Cases of Distress Re ported to Police and Char itable Oroanizations Warm Clothes Needed. Mrs. Mattie Wulliams, negro woman, 70 years old, residing at 2778 Hazel street, presented a sad appearance when she timidly ap proached a police captain at Central police station and stated ttat she had gone through the cold night "without any fire in her home and that she had not had any food for 24 hours. Her tattered garments were of paper thinness and it was" nearly half an hour before she was sufficiently warm to make her words intelligible. ' This is only ne of the many typ ical cases of distress being reported to the police and the charitable or- . ganizations during these days of coal stringency, unemployment and se vere weather. The City Mission, through Miss Mary Anthony, yesterday made known the need for more children's underwear and stockings, and also asks that those having men's shirts with worn collarbands, and stockings from which the feet have been worn , off, be sent to the mission where members of the sewing class may cut childrens' waists from the ma terial and sew in feet on the stock ings for children. "Even the cheapest material is so high now as to be almost prohibi tive," said Miss Anthony. "We have i in our women's , shelter, many worthy women who come here with their children, practically penniless, nd having the only shelter for suc,h cases we care for them until we are able to place them in independent positions. Usually we are able to do this within a week, by placing them where, they can do well for them ' selves. i "During the intervening period they are given sewing to do here at the home and they(can turn their hands to useful employment, con verting men's old shirts and stock ; ings" into children's waists which ' helps them and helps us to provide clothing for the many who apply here for this class of aid. We now have two women with one child each, whom we hope to place with good families within a short time, , where they will be in no wise de pendent on charity." -. E. A. Cudahy, Jr., Victim ;0f Omaha Kidnaping, Is Engage4 to Marry Edward A. Cudahy, Jr., of Chica go, known to many Omahans as .Eddie Cudahy, the boy who was kidnaped," is engaged to be married to Miss Margaret .Carry, daughter of " Edward F. Carry', who served as aide to E.

" This conversation was heard on a Dundee -street car Tuesday eve ning. 1 ' All Dundee has been wondering who has been cleaning the deep snow off the walks this winter. At least they have been wondering; who is paying for it. When Dundee was village, be fore it was annexed to Omaha, it had an improvement club. This club was prosperous and bought a snow plow and hired a man with a team to clean all the walks in Dundee. This club still has some money in its treasury and this is being used to the advantage othe entire com munity. , 1 The walks have ' been cleaned after every recent hard snow.
