OMAHA "FINEST"
HOSTS AT DANCE
IN AUDITORIUM
Forsake Swinging Night
Sticks to Swinging
Fair Sex in Merry ' , ,
Revelry. ;T.
The Auditorium would have been
a poor place to start a fight last
night, for pretty nearly alFthe cops
in town were there at the grand ball
of the Omaha Metropolitan, police.
They proved themselves more grace
ful than they look on their beats as
they kicked their No. 12 s, in the
merry dance. ;-
Miss Bertha Lichnovsky, "Of the
chief's office, leanincr upon the-man
ly arm of Police Inspector Andrew
Pattullo, lead the grand march,
which went through many fantastic
evolutions. In the line were more
of Omaha's "finest" with their ladies.
Chief Eberstein was there, re
splendent in his uniform. He took
a chance on a dance or two. Com
missioner Ringer looked in ""for a
few minutes but didn't do any danc
ing. Ex-Chief Henry Dunn was on
hand.
On orchestra of 20 pieces dis
pensed the tickle-toe tunes. Arlo
W. Barnes sang a deep br.ss solo,
"Asleep , on the Beat," no, no,' we
rflean "Asleep in the Deep." 1 The
policemen's quartet also sang ; a
couple of numbers.
Judge Julius S. Cooley was lifted
to the platform and delivered a
Stirring address. Receipts of the
ball will be used to buy athletic
equipment for the new gymnasium.
G. L. Hickey Quits
Union Pacific to
. Leave for Nevada
George L. Hickey, since Novem
ber, 1917, superintendent of trans
portation of the Union Pacific rail
road, severed his connection with
that road yesterday to become gen
eral manager of the Nevada North
ern railroad.
Mr. Hickey left yesterday for Ely,
leaving the Union Pacific he ended
a connection with that road and its
subsidiary lines that extended over
many years. Prior to coming to
Omaha Mr. Hickey held various po
sitions with the Oregon Short line,
the Oregon & Washington railroad,
and the Southern Pacific.
Mr. Hicky began his railroad
career at Milwaukee when he was a
young man. He is now 49 years
old. Mrs. Hickey left with him
for Ely, but expects to return to
Omaha shortly, to close their home
