II. C.L. WAR OFFICE
HAS POWDER TO
BLOW rOHAIIA
fleports of Sufficient loforma
tion of Profiteering On File
to Stir City Says
Official.
Th office of the Department of
Justice, working in connection with
Mr. C G. Ryan, federal fair price
commissioner for Nebraska, prob
ably has sufficient information of
profiteering in Omaha on file "to
blow up the town if made public,"
according to M. F. Mcintosh, as
sistant in the office of Mrs. Ryan in
the federal building. When this in
. formation will be acted upon, or its
exact nature, was not revealed.
Beet sugar, according to records
. on file, has been sold in Omaha by
' the Western Sugar company of
Denver at cents a pound and
' retailed at from 17 to 25 cents. Much
of the 'nvestipation made by the De
partment of Justice was carried on
prior to the arrival at the reason
ableness of complaints on prices
now being reported.
Fewer complaints have come into
the office of Mrs. Ryan the last two
days than at any time since the
campaign opened here. Many of
these are of a trivial nature and, ac
cording to Mr, Mcintosh, apparent
ly are made in an attempt to satir
ize the work of the federal fair price
commissioner. .
"This is a wrong attitude to take
In this matter," said Mr. Mcintosh.
"The office is in earnest about this
work and has a right to expect
every consumer to be. It is . only
' through the hearty co-operation of
the public in making legitimate
Complaints that we can perform a
great service in lowering the cost
,of living." .

Omaha Automobile Men
Favor Proposed Memorial
Members of the Automobile Trrde
association at a meeting Thursday
pledged their active support to a
campaign for immediate erection of
an Omaha Community Auditorium
as the city's memorial to Omaha
5 men who sacrificed their lives in the
world war.
The association went on record as
favoring raising the $1,000,000 or
more, required for the purpose,
through a public bond issue, rather
than by subscriptions. ,
The chairman of the association's
executive committee was authorized
to appoint a committee to co-operate
with representatives of the Chamber
of Commerce in developing the plan.

BLIND FAITH IN
ECONOMY PROVES
COSTLY TO PAIR
Judge, Jurymen and Attorneys
Hoped to Try It Or
, Him Cost $500.
James Johnson and Nick John
son believed in Economy on August
2, 1919. They believed that Econ
omy should be encouraged. m
So, when Police Judge Fitzgerald
was about to take Economy away
from the world and shut him up in
the county jail, the Johnsons signed
a bond fpr $1,000 based on their
belief that Economy would remain
with the people of Omaha. .
Yesterday in district court they
paid 500 by agreement with the
county attorney because Economy
Anastas Economy, charged with
robbery, has departed from the city
and failed to appear for triaL Dis
trict Judge Troup was ging to try
Economy. Twelve jurymen and a
couple of deputy county attorneys
were going to try Economy.
Now they can t try Economy even
with the high costoliving where it
isv Because there isn't any Economy
in Omaha.
Anastas Economy was charged
with stealing a gold ring and some
diamonds and watches of the total
value of $240 from John Dina on
April 29. .
By economizing on his presence .in
Omaha, Economy escaped arrest un
til August 1.
"It's purely a matter of Economy
to pay this $500," chuckled Deputy
County Attorney Lofiey as the
Johnsons sadly paid over the money.
