"Drinks" Are Abused;
Chief of Police Fired
Madison, Neb., Feb. 24. (Spe

sonable consideration, according to
Mayor C. E. Flass of this city.
Sleeping in an automobile parked

may be about, is taboo by the latest
orders of the city's chief executive.
He states that exposure to the ele
ments at this time of year also has
a tendency to breed pneumonia and
influenza and as a protection to the
public health it should not be coun
tenanced. His action followed a report that
an intoxicated citizen had slept in
his automobile, parked on the main
thoroughfare, all night.
In putting his new order into ef
fect, the mayor removed the bright
"star" worn by Chief of Police Carl
Reiueccius as an insignia of his of
fice. Timothy Kennedy was presented
with the "star" by the mayor and
instructed that in the future drunks
were to be given a bed in the warm
"jail house" where they would be
safe from disease and pickpockets..

mother. Efforts are to be re

child. Many local families have

it will be placed in the best home
offered.

I Conspiracy to
Control Omaha
Hotel Charged
Receiver of Nebraska Hotel
Company Gets Restraining
Order in Lancaster
County Court.
Lincoln, Feb. 24. (Special.)
Charging a conspiracy on the part
of directors of the Interstate Hotel
company to wreck the company in
order to obtain control of the Hotel
Fontenelle in' Omaha. W. E. Barke
ley, receiver for the Nebraska Hotel
company and the Nebraska Building
& Investment company, obtained a
restraining order ni the Lancaster
county district court here against
Frank F.. Schaaf, Irving F. Baxter,
If. E. Gregory, Morris Brown and A.
N. Cole.
The restraining order prohibits
the defendants from interfering with
the receiver's management of the
hotel.
The petition sets forth that the
Interstate Hotel company holds a
11 -year lease on the Fontenelle
building and furniture, which the
receiver claims is worth $.?50,000.
He says that the company is sol
vent. The order granted by the court
prevents Schaaf from voting any
stock in the Interstate hotel com
pany at any meeting of its stock
holders and prevents the other de
fendants from holding any meeting
as a board of directors of that com
pany. Barkeley says he has re
deemed the stock of the Interstate
Hotel company, which had been
pledged for the purchase price, and
now holds it assigned in blank.
According to the charges made in
the petition, Schaaf is now in Oma
ha trying to get the directors of
the company to hold a meeting and
declare it bankruph. He charges
that Schaaf is seeking to perpetrate
a fraud upon the stockholders of
the Nebraska company and upon the
court which named the receiver by
having the Interstate Hotel com
pany declared bankruph, rendering
the business worthless so that he
may bid it in much below its' value.

One to Prison.
Toms River, N. J., Feb. 24. Oys
ter men of Parkertown and West

order of the court was disregarded,
it was alleged.
As late as Tuesday night masked
men are said to have visited persons
summoned as witnesses in cases
growing out of the feud, warning
them not to appear in court, and
threatening to burn homes and sink
boats if the warning went unheeded.
After the agreement today Judge
Jeffrey imposed the following sen
tences on men convicted of stealing
clams; Joseph Johnson, three years
and $150 fine; Elson Hawkins, one
year and $150 fine.
