THE BEE: OMAHA. MOKUAlf, JUNE 28. VJZQ. V SEEK AMERICAN HUSBANDS FOR FRENCH GIRLS Canadians Also Desirable as Husbands Committees to Promote French-American Marriages. By NEWTON C. PARKE. Faris, June 27. The immediate organization of a committee of French women to co-operate with a similar committee United StateJ with the object of promoting marriages between French girls and American youths, is urged by Prof. Paul Carnot, of the faculty of medi cine of the University of Paris, whose writings on the international marriage problem have recently at tracted world-wide attention. He places Americans and Canadians on the fcame plane as most desirable husbands for the dangles of France. Professor Carnot confesses in the current issue of the Paris Medical that when his suggestions for an "international marriage- pool" was first launched in the United States through the medium of the Interna tional News Service, he had little hopes for its success. "But since my article appeared in many of the biggest newspapers in the United States I have received an avalanche of letters coming from all the states and from all social classes in which young men express their desire to take French brides," he writes. ''I have, therefore, con cluded that in this respect certainly, we have not taken into account our enormous prestige abroad, particu larly in the United States, a prestige which throws in the shade some of the displeasing actions of our poli ticians and financiers." "But it is entirely different for the second category of letters, which deserve our careful attention. They come from young Americans who wish to marry French girls and come to live in France. "All these eager young men from the United States demand that I respond immediately. All appear sincere and entirely desirable as husbands. But, alas, my laboratory here in the school of medicine is not a matrimonial agency and I have not time to respond. It is for this rea son that I suggest the creation at once of a committee of French women whose names would impose respect, and knowing the 'customs of America. We could thus draw to France vigorous young men "of America, full of physical and moral health, who would soon become good Frenchmen. From these mar riages would finally be born healthy infants, the children of French mothers, who would remain French. "By the side of the Americans I find the Canadians equally desirable as husbands. Many of them come from French stock, many gpeak our language, and during the war we have admired their courage. "Alas! we cannot hope by this process to marry the 2,000,000 of French girls whose sweethearts were killed in the war, hut perhaps we may save some tens of thousands and thus reduce w some measure the great disequilibrium of sexes in France." Married in Bluffs; Will Have Peruvian Honeymoon A pretty but practical romance culminated in Council Bluffs Sat terday when Walter Rcse Vidler" of Denver and Miss Elizabeth Morris of Cripple Creek, Colo., were united in marriage. The ceremony was performed at 11:30 in the parsonage of the First Presbyterian church by Rev. Dr. Alfred E. Vanorden, pas tor of the church. Mr. Vidler is a mining engineer and the wedding journey will end in Peru, South America, where he has a responsible position as chief engineer ard manager of a big mine. After brief farewell visits here Mr. Vidler and his bride will sail in the near future for their new home south of the equator. Miss Morris has been visiting friends in Omaha and Council Bluffs while preparing for her wedding. The marriage ceremony was wit nessed by a few intimate friends. Miss Morris was attended by Miss Katherine Newbranch and Mrs. R. M. Jones of Omaha. Woman Hit by Auto. Mrs. H. V. Hahn, 2120 Emmet street, was slightly injured Saturday when the automobile in which she was riding collided with another au tomobile at Eighteenth and Cuming streets. The driver of the other car did not stop after the collision and is being sought by the police. Mrs. Hahn suffered several facial bruises and lacerations. Mayor Smith Breaks With Head of Police (CnnUntfrd rnm ra Om.) that the chief had ben responsible. In the executive session yesterday Commissioners Ringer, Ziniraan and Ure voted to dismiss the cap tain from the service; the mayor and Commissioner Towl were for administering a reprimand or im posing a penalty, and Commission er Butler was alone in his position that Dunn acted in good faith when he retained all of the $100 reward mcney, received more than a year ago, from E. Weinberg of remont, for the recovery of a lot of stolen clothing. In view of this deadlock vote, the commissioners decided to let the matter go over until the re turn of Commissioner Falconer from Portland, Ore., in abput three weeks. Br. Butler asserted his belief that Dunn was being "jobbed," where upon Commissioner Ringer said: "I am in no deal to job Captain Dunn. He was guilty as chased and he knew that it was reward and not gift money when he accepted the $100. When I say that I am go ing to clean up, the police depart ment I mean jnst what I say. When I say a thing I mean it. I am do ing my duty. I will welcome any assistance in the way of evidence that will clean up any corruption in the police department." The police commissioner added that he cannot be bluffed and he stated that the Dunn case was an "open and shut case." During the meeting in Mayor Smith's office the conferees pressed the police commissioner to divulge the source of the information which led to the filing of charges against Dunn, but the commissioner was obdurate in declining to name his informant. "A man came to my office sev eral times and told me that Dunn was crooked," said Mr. Ringer, "and I told him to be specific or get out of my office as quicky as he could. He returned with the in formation about the Weinberg case." Mayor Smith was not pleased yes terday when he learned that the de liberations of the executive con ference had leaked. He asserted that words spoken in such meetings should not be divulged to the world. It has been noticeable during the last two months in the city council meetings that the mayor and police commissioner have been drifting Apricots for Canning (Get Them Today!

The mayor declined to com ment on the situation. Captain Dunn has been under suspension for three weeks. The sit uation now hangs on Commissioner Falconer. The mayor will go to Colorado next Thursday to remain several weeks. One of the significant fea tares of the Dunn case was his return of half of the reward money after he had conferred with Mayor Smith and had been advised -that money re ceived by members of the police' de partment as "gifts" should be divided with the police relief -and pension fund in the same manner as reward money. The return of this money was made on June 9, and during the hearing of the charges against Dunn last week the mayor objected to the wording of the information on technical grounds.
