'(
Lincoln, Feb. 14. (Special.)
Bootleggers and other criminals
must settle their private quarrels
outside the office of the governor
of Nebraska, according to action
taken by Acting Governor P. A.
Barrows, who granted a requisition
asked for by the governor of Iowa
to take to Council Bluffs three men,
Tom Kelly, Wiley Compton and F.
Cain alias "Ping Pong," charged
with entering the home of-N. C.
Arbuckle in Council Bluffs and rob
bing the house of articles of jewelry
and money said to be worth $1,030.
Application was made by Harry
Fleharty, Omaha attorney, for post
ponement of the hearing on the
grounds that if given time he could
bring witnesses to show Arbuckle
had said that no jewelry had been
stolen, but that he made the charge
for the purpose of forcing the men
to pay him for a lot of booze they
had stolen when they broke into
the house.
"Do I understand Mr. Fleharty,"
asked the acting governor, "that
you contend that no jewelry was
stolen and that the charge of steal
ing the jewelry was made by one
bootlegger against other bootleg
gers of the same gang simply that
he might force them to settle for
the booze they had , stolen from
him?"
"That is about the size of it,"
answered the attorney.
"In that case your application for
a further hearing is denied and the
requisition is granted and I want it
understood right now that it
is entirely out of place for any set
of bootleggers to come into the gov
ernor's office of this state with any
kind of a proposition to settle their
personal quarrels."
The requisition was then signed
and banded to Sheriff W. A. Grone
weg of Potawattamie county, Iowa,
and the hearing closed.
A Appeal Jury Trial Ruling
On State Liquo; Cases
Lincoln, Feb. 14. (Special.) In a
case appealed from Lancaster county
to the state supreme court the latter
court holds that a person charged
with the illegal possession or trans
portation of intoxicating liquor has
no right to demand a jury trial.
T The court says that it is within
the power of the legislature to en
; , act a law declaring possession and
i ' transportation of intoxicating liquors
' to be ,a misdemeanor and provide
that violators may be tried before
magistrates and police courts with
out jury, where the penalty does not
exceed a fine of $100 or imprison
aient for three months.

Artificial Teeth
That Are Artistic,
Comfortable and Serviceable
... .
The MORRIS-THIN denture unites these
splendid qualities, and gives the wearer the product
of years of research and development.
No branch of dentistry is so unsatisfactory alike
to dentist and patient as that of Artificial Dentures,
because of the lack of skill and experience on the
part of one and natural distaste on the part of the
other.
By establishing a special department for Arti
ficial Dentures and selecting for it men of both
talent and experience, we have eliminated our part
of the great handicap, and are now able to pro
duce dentures that are wonderfully satisfactory.
The beauty of our dentures will overcome any dis
taste the patient may have. '
We urge you to visit our consultation rooms and
learn more about these fine dentures.
Our fees are very lov for the class of service
ne are rendering.

Spring Time Favorites
Taffeta
Frocks
Ml
Early frocks indicate a penchant for elab
orateness in trimming and styles. New features
are novel pleating and ruffles, draped effects,
and the new Harem skirts. Hints of the
Colonial, in close Basque-type bodice, vary with
the becoming long waistlines. Rich embroidery,
fancy stitchings and braidings are much in evi
dence in trimmings.
We particularly recommend the fluffy
Taffeta Frocks for the miss and in
women's sizes to 40. Above that size
' more becoming lines will be found in
exquisite models of Charmeuse, Satins,
Tricolettes and Georgette combina
tions. Features of the Spring models
are graceful long lines in draperies
and girdles in contrast shades. Bead
ings are a favorite mode of trimming,
with dainty laces used in collars.
Spring shades present Browns, Beaver,
Taupe, Wisteria and the much-demanded Navy
Blues.
