Bradshaw. who conducted the fatal narcotic raids Monday night when one man was shot and 10 suspects arrested, and more than ?2.000 worth of co caine, morphine and other narcotics was seized.

Deputies from the office of United States Marshal James Dahlman were active today, serving IS war rants issued for the arrest of mors suspects in the alleged "dope" ring. Mysterious secrecy pervaded the federal building all day, while fed eral agents, deputies and other of ficials bustled about their duties. Rumors persisted that the Minne apolis agtnts are secretly conduct ing an investigation into the work ings of the Omaha police depart ment with regard to the alleged dope ring, and that several police officials are under observation in that connection. Police Scout Rumors. Chief of Police Eberstein and Acting Chief of Detectives A. C. Anderson today denied all knowl edge oi the alleged investigation by federal authorities into rumors that Omaha policemen and detectives are involved in a suspected "dope" ring heri. Chief Eberstein gave as his per sonal opinion that there is no basis for such rumors. "A'l bunk," griuned Chief Ander son. j. mused at Probe. The acting head of Ahe detective bureau was amused when informed the statement had been made anony mously that several Omaha detec tives are worried at the alleged probe and that one detective has al ready threatened to resign. "It is possible there are some men on the Omaha police force who should not be there and whose methods may be questionable," said Chief Eberstein. "It is impossible to get as many men together as we now have on the force without in cluding some undesirables. "If there is anything to warrant an investigation, I will welcome it. If we have such men, we are going to get rid of them." Three Hastings Boys Hurt In Fireworks Explosion Hastings, Neb., July IS. (Special Ttlegram.)

GAS RATE BOOST IS EXPECTED AT BOARD MEETING Sclitdult of $1.30 Probably Will Be New Price Fixed By Cily. Announcement of an increase in rss price is expected to be made following a meeting of the water boird today. Added to this increase will be a 50-cent monthly service charge, recommended to the board by the commission of experts, which is expected to be adopted at the board meeting. The proposed schedule provides for a rate of $1.30 net per 1.000 feet for the first 3.000, and $1.25 net for the next block between 3,000 and 10,000 feet. The present net rate is $1.15. The average consumer of gas in Omaha uses 2,000 to 3,000 feet a month. Hence the average consum- er will pay from 80 cents to $1 more a month for gas under municipal ownership than under private owner ship. Ninety-eight per cent of the con sumers will be affected by the first and second block rates. The proposed schedule follows. Rat per cubic f(fr. Orofa.

HARDING WINS IN FIRST CLASH OF CANDIDATES Republican Nominee Out-Maneuvered Cox by Accepting Challenge on League, Politicians Say. ChleafO Trlhune-Omnhs IW leaned Wire. Washington, July 15. Nothing that Senator Harding has said or done since his nomination at Chi cago has contributed so much to re unification and party harmony as his acceptance yesterday of the demo cratic challenge to make the league of nations the chief issue of the campaign. He has completely outmaneuvered and outgeneraled Governor Cox, the democratic nominee, in the first real clash of the campaign, according to the view of politicians here. The republican "irreconcilaMes" were delighted with Mr. Harding's declaration. He was "speaking the language of the tribe," they thought, particularly when he said: "Should the democrats win, the league would be ratified and America would be come at once a party to the 20-odd wars now going on in the world " They felt that they could now take the stump for him without any further hesitation and assure their constituents that Mr. Harding, as president, would never commit the nation to any entanglements in the broils of Europe and Asia. Reservationists Pleased. At the same time reservationist senators with whom Senator Har ding has always been aligned, were equally pleased. They saw noth in in his statements that in any wav embarrased their position and they admired the skill with which he had managed to knit the factions together. They saw the possibility of any split over the treaty issue rendered still more remote and they liked the way Senator Harding had fortified the position taken by the republican party in the Chicago plat form. On the other hand, the democrats who were so eager to make the treaty an issue are beginning to fear it will prove a boomerang to them. While Senator Harding has been neatly extricating himself from a difficult situation, Governor Cox has suddenly found the treaty is .tK' saddled upon him by President Wil son. He professes to like the pros pect of leading "a solemn referen dum" on the treaty, but democrats of varying shades of opinion on the league are rather anxious over the outcome of the conference to be held at the White House Sunday. Afraid of Future. They are afraid the president will insist upon nailing Governor Cox to a flat commitment against Ameri canizing reservations. If the presi dent succeeds in this, it is pointed out, he will leave at least half of he democratic senators "out on a limb." They voted to ratify the treaty with the Lodge reservations and they might have difficulty in defending themselves and their party if Mr. Wilson has his way with Governor Cox. If Governor Cox takes the bit in his teeth and stands for reserva tions that are acceptable to half the members of his party in the ser ate, he may alienate the Wi'sort McAdoo forces, who have not been particularly pleased over the choict of the San Francisco convention anyhow. They probably would not repudiate Governor Cox, but the-, might not back him ' with any warmth or enthusiasm during the campaign. Parish Will Gives $1,000 to Sister and Rest to Widow The will of the late John W. Par ish, filed in county court yesterday, bequeaths all his property to his wife, Bessie W. Parish, excepting $1,000, which is given to his sister, Elizabeth Parish. The estate consists of $20,000 in personal property and $5,000 in real estate. Mrs. Parish and Isaac E. Congdon are named executors. The will was signed July 19, 1913 and is witnessed by Amos E. Henley and Edward F. Leary. Compton Files Answer to Ensor $50,000 Damage Suit A. D. Compton, county commission er yesterday filed in district court cn answer to the $50,000 damage suit filed recently against him by W. D. Ensor, husband of Inez En sor, who was killed in an automo bile collision at Fifty-second and Dodge streets last May. Mr. Comp ton makes a blanket denial of re sponsibility for the accident. Change of Venue Is Life Saver for Judge As Three Seek Pussy Miss Margaret Kennedy, 2464 Harney street, says its name is "Kewpie." M. Bushman, 4173 California, says its name is "Mickey." Mrs. R. M. Serrea, 1019 Souih Twenty-fifth avenue. says she doesn't care what its name is, it's her's. The bone of contention is a Per sian cat. Attorneys have been fbtdned by all parties concerned and battle clouds threaten. Justice of the Peace Collins was scheduled to settle the three-cornered dispute yesterday, but a change of venue to municipal court ssved him.

Roae Co., Cleveland, O STOP ITCHING SKIN "NO REST UNTIL GIRL'S SLAYERS ARE RUN DOWN" "Mystery Murderers" Must Be Brought to Justice, Declares County Attorney. "Washington county will never cease its efforts until the murderers of the 'mystery girl' are apprehend ed and the girl's true identity known," County Attorney Grace l'allard asserted yesterday. "We have new evidence which may make this possible within a s'lort time, but I cannot divulge an. of it yet. I will tell Police Com missioner Ringer what we know in ;. short time, and will expect him to aid in running the case down." It is known that Miss Ballard made a secret trip to Denver, Colo., recently, in an effort to unravel the mystery of the girl's identity and of her death. She would not comment cn the result, however. Offering of a $300 reward for the apprehension of those responsible for the murder by the Washington county commission, and the declara tion yesterday by Miss Ballard that Omaha detectives failed to make the best use of evidence presented to them, indicates Miss Ballard has uncovered evidence of some im portance, in the opinion of County Attorney Shotwcll. County Commissioner Unitt said yesterday that the board of county commissioners will probably add $.i00 to the reward offered by Wash ington county for apprehension of the murderer of the "mystery girl." SEEKS NEW ARREST OF MRS. KAMMERER IN KIDNAPING CASE Attorney of Child's Mother to Ask That Bond Be Set Aside. The recent trip of Miss Robin Kanimerer to Canada, where she visited her fugitive brother, Charles, and his J-year-old child, whom he stole from the custody of his d. vorced wife, may bring new develop ments in the case. Mrs. Julia Kanimerer, mother of the fugitive, who is ill at her home, 1114 Frederick street, was ordered under technical arrest on a charge of contempt of court for alleged abetting her son in stealing the child. The supreme court, a few cays ago, ordered the case against her reheard and a bond of $1,000 was posted. Then Robina told of her visit to Canada and stated she had seen her brother and child. Attorney A. C. Pancoast for the cmild's mother said yesterday that he will file affidavits in the supreme court asking that the decision of that body in ordering a rehearing in the case of Mrs. Julia Kanimerer be set aside and that she be recommitted to arrest.
