Say Efficiency in France
Would Have Been Enhanced
Under System Such as
They Advocate. '
Washington, Dec. 12. Five Amer
ican acei, credited with having
brought down more than 50 German
airplanes, advocated before a house
ub-committee, the creation of an
aeronautical department of the gov
ernment, to co-ordinate all aerial
activities.
The group included, Capt. "Eddie"
Rickenbacher, officially credited
with 27 air victories in France, Maj.
Charles J. Biddle, Philadelphia;
Capt. F. E. Kindley, Arkansas; Maj.
J. A. Meissner, Birmingha!m, Ala.,
and Capt J. A. Healey, Washing
ton. All asserted that the air forces
in France would have been much
more efficient if administered by a
department of aeronautics.
Experts Give Approval.

eran aeroplane designer and build
er; J. K. Robin:on, Greenwich, R.
I., Col. H. L. Arnold, San Fran
cisco; Col. Archie Miller, Washing
ton, Capt. Walter R. Lawson, Lang
ley Field, Va., and Lieut. Com. P.
N. L. Bellinger, commander of the
NC-1 during the trans-Atlantic
flight, also expressed their views.
Commander Bellinger, testifying
as to the advantages of a united
air service from the standpoint of
naval flyers, said that the naval air
force, while working well, were
not up to full efficiency and could
be improved through the proposed
consolidation.
Speaking, for civilian flyers and
aircraft manufacturers, Mr. Martin
said th American aircraft industry
would soon become extinct without
early and substantial aid from the
government. He urged extended
use of aeroplanes to the postal, fish
eries and forest reserve service.
U. S. Flying Academies.
Recommendations made during
the hearing vincluded establishment
of a national flying academy; gov
ernment subsidies to manufacturers
and preliminary training of army
and navy flyers under the same
system.
Major Biddle' declared vital aerial
activities in, France were ofteji seri
ously delayed by lack of equipment.
The order to stop work in this
country on Spad planes, issued in
December, 1917, was "regretable"
he said, and would not have been
issued had aviation officers had
anything to do with it.
The committee expected to con
clude hearings Monday and start
work on framing a bill.
Mayor Asks Other Cities
About Fuel Restrictions
Mayor Smith sent out telegrams
yesterday to the mayors of Kansas
City, Sti Louis, Chicago, Des Moines
Minneapolis and St. Paul asking
about fuel restrictions. Replies re
ceived from Kansas City and St.
Louis stated that restrictions have
been fully lifted.
The mayor said he believes the
new order of the fuel committee
regarding places pf amusements is
sufficiently lenient for the present
He will advise that the public
library be opened daily from 2 to
7 o'clock -instead of from 7 o'clock
to 11.
WOMEN PROTEST
U, S. BLOCKADE
AGAINST RUSS
Wall Street Invaded In At
tempt to Secure Clearance
Papers for Ships Bound
to Reds.
New York, Dec. 12. Scores of
prominent New York women mo
bilized -in Lower Broadway this
morning for a noon invasion of Wall
street in protest against the United
States government's refusal to issue
clearance papers to vessels for Rus
sian ports.
The invaders planned to enter the
street as "pickets" rather than as
paraders in order to avoid running
afoul of ihe city ordinance regulat
ing parades.
The American women's emer
gency committee, which organized
this and one previous demonstra
tion, maintains that the govern
ment's refusal to clear ships is caus
ing the deaths of thousands of chil
dren in Russia.
Mrs. Frank A. Vanderlip, wife of
the forrrier president of the Na
tional City bank, while not taking
part in the demonstration today, is
raising a fund of $100,000 to charter
a ship which will be stocked with
food, medicines, toys and clothing
for Russia. It is planned to have
the vessel sail from New York on
Christmas day if clearance papers
can be obtained.

DEATH MYSTERY
AT COLUMBUS, NEB.,
STILL UNSOLVED
Arrested Without Cause on Visit to Omaha Physician,
and Refused Right to Communicate With Attor
ney or Omaha Friends, Union, Neb., Man is Indig
nant at Treatment Received at the Hands of
Municipal Authorities Insulted by Judge When
Finally Released Three Days in Cell. -
The rank inefficiency and bungle
some blundering of the Omaha
police department again was dem
onstrated last Wednesday, when C.
W. Clark, prominent business man,
property owner, hotel proprietor and
for a quarter of a century highly
respected and esteemed citizen of
Union, Neb., was arrested for no
reason by Detective L. H. Stolley
and Patrolman Ailo Barnes at Six
teenth and Dodge streets and held
in the city jail for three days.
Mr. Clark was not allowe4 to ex
plain his identity or to communicate
Vith an attorney or friends, and his
references to prominent Omaha
business men and physicians were
treated with silent contempt by the
police.
Not Allowed to Testify.
Despite bis protests against the
outrageous treatment accorded him
and his requests to be allowed to
consult an attorney, after holding
him in jail until Saturday afternoon,
Mr. Clark was taken before Police
Judge Foster and sentenced to 30
days in jail as a vagrant. He was
not even allowed to testify in his
own behalf., Judge Foster imposed
the sentence after hearing the police
officers who made the illegal arrest.
- Mr. Clark was being led back to
a ceil in the city jail when he gave
vent to an indignant outburst which
commanded the attention of the-police
judge, who just had imposed the
unjust and unfair sentence.
Demanded His Rights.
"As an American citizen, as a
business-man who has lived the best
years of his life in Nebraska, I pro
test against these unheard of tac
tics," Mr. Clark exclaimed as he
shook off the policeman who was
attempting to force him back to
jail. "I demand the right to make
known my identity."
Mr. Clark produced tax receipts
which made Judge Foster hesitate
in his plan to "railroad" a prominent
and innocent man to jail as a va
grant ' -
The police judge then suspended
the sentence, and finally disposed
of the ease by insulting, the man
who dared claim his rights in a
court where justice is supposed to
be' meted out.
Frequent Omaha Visitor.
"Get out of here," the judge or
dered. "You'd better get out of
town, too, just as fast as you can
go. You don't belong around here."
Mr. Clark has been coming to
Omaha on an average of about
twice a month for the past 25 years.
During that length of time he has
been buying large bills of goods
from local merchants. He had come
to this city the day before he was
arrested to consult a physician, and
had made a generous purchase of
goods from Trimble Brothers, Elev
enth and Howard streets, before
going to the doctor's office. "
He had been to the physician's
office, who was not in when he
called, and was waiting in front of
the building when he was accosted
by the policemen.
"What are you doing here?" De
tective Stolley wanted to know.
Mr. Clark attempted to explain
but the officers would not listen to
him.
"You are a vag and in the can
you go," continued Stolley, accord
ing to Mr. Clark's statement "You
are about to get a ride in one of
our nice, new automobiles to the
hoozegow."
Refused Communication. ,
The prisoner was taken to the po
lice station, searched and thrown in
a cell. He begged to be allowed to
call an attorney, or communicate
with some of his friends. He was
refused the privilege of using the
telephone or sending a message of
any kind to any one on the out
side. In three minutes' time Mr. Clark
declared he could have furnished a
$10,000 bond, and offered to do so.
He was told to keep qtriet and re
main in jail until his case had been
decided.
The prisoner gave as references
the names of Dr. Leo A. Dermody,
1122 W.O. W. building; John Mor
ley, Millard hotel; George Richard
son of the Merchants hotel, a num
ber of the most reputable business
houses of the city and the names of
other reputable and responsible per
sons both in Omaha and Union.
No attention was paid to .his re
quests and demands that he be
given a hearing. Mr. Clark has been
in poor health, and his prolonged
absence from home, he feared,
would cause anxiety among the
members of his family, with whom
he was not even allowed to com
munidate. Friends and relatives in
Union knew nothing of Mr. Clark's
whereabouts until he arrived home
Saturday night. There was no one
to look after his business during his
abjence, and it became necessary
for his son to neglect his interests

Aside from causing Mr. Clark un
told grief and anxiety, his arrest re
sulted in the loss of money and has
been a shock to him physically. He
recently was operated on by Dr.
Dermody as a result of stomach
trouble, when 220, stitches were
takin in the incision.- Mr. Clark de
clares his health has been impaired
by his experience to a great extent. 1
Recalls Miller Case.

the Detroit mechanic, for vagrancy
when the boy was known to have
$130 in cash on his person, after he
had been arrested 10 minutes fol
lowing his arrival In' the city en
route to California.- The fact the
boy had his suit case with him, a
tool case and a union card showing
his dues were paid up did not con
vince Judge Foster he was not a
vagrant.
The case was appealed to the dis
trict court, where it was dismissed

The original theory of police was
that the girl was asphyxiated by gas
fumes from an exhaust heater used
to keep the car warm and for that
reason the motor was kept running.
This theory was partially disproven
on investigation and County Attor
