PROPOSE MERGER
OF CHARITIES IN
NEW FUND PLAN
Community Chest System
Planned as Means of Reliev
ing Business Men of
- Solicitations.
The advisability of establishing in
Omaha the community chest sys
tem of raising funds for charities, to
take the place of the prevailing cus
tom of each organization conduct
ing its own drive, is being consid
ered by a subcommittee of the
Chamber of Commerce welfare com
mittee. According to Rabbi Frederick
Cohn, chairman, the investigation is
well under "way, and tangible facts
from which they can make recom
mendations should be in the commit-
tee's hands in a few weeks. Letters
requesting all possible data, as well
is opinions concerning the success
of such a measure, have been sent
to the civic commercial organiza
tions of all the large cities in the
country.
Purpose of Committee.
According to Rabbi Cohn, the pri
mary! purpose of the committee is
to mike a survey of the nature and
work" done by all- charitable bodies
m the city, from the information
acquired in this investigation the
sentiment found to exist in such or
ganization and the advice from oth
er cities the committee's recommen
dations will be drawn.
In case a common budget plan is
adopted, Rabbi Cohn explained, a
federation of all charitable organi
zations would be effected for the
purpose of raising funds, The
money in the common treasury
would be pro rated among the dif
erent participants, according to the
nature and scope of their work
Such a system, he pointed out,
would relieve business men and cit
izens in general of more than one
solicitation for charity during the
year. A budget would be made
yearly and contributors notified of
the amount needed, and possibly of
the sum expected of them. That
would mean an end of requests for
money, as organizations entitled to a
hare of the fund would be re
quired to stay within their allot
ment In addition to Rabbi Cohn, mem
bers of the committee in charge of
investigating the question are R. S.
Flower, secretary; D. E. O'Brien,
H. A. Abbott, J. E. Fitzgerald, J.
J. Isaacson, B. N. Roberts, R. V.
Cole and W. W. Bradley.
Rival Highjackers Fire
From Speeding Machines
Two rival highjacking gangs in
speeding automobiles staged a gun
battle early Thursday night on
Ncjrth Sixteenth street, according to
police.
Storekeepers and pedestrians in
range of the firing sent in riot calls
to Central police station. Detec
tives in emergency cars were una
ble to locate the machines.
According to witnesses, the firing
started -when one touring car with
drawn curtains drew alongside the
other, going north near Sixteenth
and Chicago streets. At once both
cars picked up speed. The shots
came from the rear tonneaus of the
cart and were directed apparently
at the occupants.
At Sixteerth and Cuming streets
the pursued car continued its race
tip Sherman avenue. The other was
seen to skid west on Cuming street

Savidge Takes Swipe
At City Commissioner
In Scoring Dancing
.
Rev. Charles W. Savidge, Omaha's
marrying parson, as-umed the role
of reformer yesterday, scored danc
ing in general and took a particu
larly wicked left-handed wallop at
the city commissioners 'fqjr counte
nancing Sunday night dancing at
the Municipal Auditorium.
Mr. Savidge announced that he
would make the Sunday night danc
ing at the Auditorium the topic of
his sermon Sunday night and he
promised to give the city fathers
some food for real thought
"The modern, danc.es are mostly
evil," declared the parson. "There's
entirely too much 'head-bracing' anrl
close contacts these days on the
dancing floors.
"When famine stalked in Rome
and the people were sent from the
city by thousands, they permitted
3,000 foreign female dancers to re
main, for it was a good thing. Cap
tain Cook on his exploration trip
gave orders that his sailors should
dance the hornpipe on deck every
day. And in the Psalms it says:
'Praise the Lord in the dance,' and
David danced before the Lord. But,
believe me, that was before the time
of the 'shimmy," the 'money musk'
and the 'bunny hug' and other
catch-as-catch-can hops. I'm going
to jump on the modern dance all
spraddled out." i
