THE BEE: OMAHA, MONDAY, MARCH 14, 1921. City Jail to Be Ready This Year. Councilmen Say Construction Started January 2, 1920, Delayed by "Just One Thiug After Anoth er," Committee Asserts. The proverbial delay of the law is being paralleled in the construction -orV of the new citv iail and -central police station at Eleventh and Dodge jstrects. This work is :iov well into tits second year and it is believed by the committee of the city council, which has this work in charge, that the job will be completed this year. . This special committee comprises Police Commissioner Ringer and Commissioners Ure and Towl. Commissioner Ringer ventures the v prediction that the work will be fin ished this spring. 1 This public work has been "just one thing after another," the com missioners aver and they assert that they have been beset by unavoidable circumstances which hindered an earlier completion of the building. Work Resumed Work has just been resumed after a suspension of four weeks on ac count of 9 disagreement between the contractor, Robert Butke, and the commissioners over the payment of extras which were necessary after the original plans were modified. The piecemeal payment plan adopted by the city and the financial exigencies of the contractor's side of the controversy brought the work to a temporary halt. "An adjustment of the extras was agreed to on the basis of $6,447, al . though the contractor claimed, more than that amount. The extra work consisted of enlarging the space or iginally assigned for' the fire station which will be housed in the building, also a modification of the cell ar rangement for juveniles and women and a change in the police court plans. Sell Original Site. The work of tearing down the old jail and police station was started January 2, 1920. The city held $100,000, realized from a bond issue ?uthorized by the- voters several-) years age. Out of this money a site was purchased at Fifteenth and Davenport streets, where it was pro posed to erect the jail and police sta tion, but the -council rescinded that action and sold the site, returning the money to the bond fund which was increased bv $2,000. Another $100,000 bqnd issue was approved, making a total of $202,000 "available. The general building con tract was $134,000 and there have been separate contracts for the cell work, heating and plumbing and other specialties. : Commissioner Ure,. in charge of - the accounts and finance depart ment, explained the difficulties of selling the second bonds last yeai. These bonds were limited to par and an interest rate not to exceed 5 per cent. Marketing Difficulties. On account of the bond market, the city was unable to. market these securities in the usual manner, Mr. Butke accepted $20,000 of these bonds in part payment of .his aon . tract, the Polley Cell company took .$15,000, the police relief department $20,000, J. j. Hanighen company $10,000. and George L. Fisher, archi tect, $1,000. This leaves $34,000 still to be disposed;6f. . The old county jaij building will be utilized in connection with the new structure. The upper floors will serve for use as a woman's detention ! hospital, the first floor for general city prisoners and the second floor lor women prisoners. ,The special committee of the city council admits that the work" has been slow, but they insist that they .have done the best they could under adverse circumstances..

(Spe cial.) Having -finished its work to date, with only one session neces sary to clean up all the senate bills on general file, the attention of the upper house the coming week will center on the activity of the com mittee in, whose hands a few impor tant proposed pieces of legislation still remain. In this connection the revenue and I luxation coinniittee has just coni I $ tcd and printed a substitute bill ior Chairman Anderson's S. F. No. 65, making a classification ot in tangible property and amending the public revenue laws of the state. The substitute, which will be re ported out probably this week, bears the names of the full committee. It is by no means a new bill, but it makes modifications in Senator An derson's classifications. Hearings on the amended bill will be- held the first part of the week. .." Blue Sky Law. The committee on miscellaneous corporations is due to report out a blue sky law from among the three proposed measures in the hands of Lthe committee. One is the adminis tration s Din to strengtnen tne Bu reau of securities; another is Sen ator Hoagland's bill to abolish the bureau, but to facilitate the prose cution of sellers of fraudulent secur ities; and the third is Senator An derson's bill. S. F. No. 1, to abolish the licensing of promotion schemes on the ground that the license leads to fraud. i " - - The senate judiciary committee had before it H. R. No. 138, the anti alien land law.

No. 185, making more stringent the state prohibitory law; and S. F. No. 282, the kdministratioVi's board of pardons llill.. v Advances Park Board Measure. The senate, after a lively clash last week, advanced S. F. No. 189, creating a state park, board, to third reading, but the vote was so close that the fate of the bill is doubtful on final passage. One important bill is on the gen eral file for committee of the whole discussion, S. F. No. 318, creating a state bonding department in the bu reau of insurance, to take care of the bonds of public officials. Without watting for the house bill, which establishes, a state reformatory and carries an appropriation of $300, 000, the "senate had passed to third reading S. F. No. 292. its own bill for a reformatory. Outside the classification of in tangibles, the revenue bill, S. F. No. 65, the state board of equalization is given authority to equalize any class of property in anv countv or tax district, and if any property is omitted, undervalued or overvalued, the state tax commissioner may be authorized by the board to send out special assessors to adjust the situa tion. .

Visit first the MARMON miniatures Chemical Warfare Service Discovers New Deadly Poison New York, March 13. The chem ical warfare service has discovered a liquid poison sostrong that three drops will kill any one whose skin it touches. Falling like rain from nozzles at tached to airplanes, the liquid would kill everything m the aircraft s path, according to a high official of the service. A description what the new war weapon would (lo, in the opinion of this official, follows: "One plane carrying '.two tons of the liquid could cover dn area 100 feet wide by seven miles long in one trip and could tieposit enough ma terial to kill every man there. "The only limit to the quantity of this liquid which could be made is the amount of available electric power. It would be possible for this country to manufacture several thousand tons per day. "During the Argonne offensive the first American army of 1,250,000 men occupied an area approximately 40 kilometers long by 20 kilometers wide . If Germany had had 4,000 tons of tin's material and 400 - planes equipped for its distribution, the first army would have been an nihilated in 12 hours.

By Mrs. James Stillman to Nane Another Woman in Counter suit Against Millionaire Husband. Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee leased Wire. New York, March 13. Charges involving either an actress or mu sician, will be made against James A. Stillman, multi-millionaire Na tional City bank president, by Mrs. Ann Stillman, his wife. The name of the alleged woman in the case is not disclosed. This will be Mrs. Stillman's an swer, besides a general denial of the charges of her husband involving-Fred Beauvais, half-breed In dian guide, and Mrs. Stillman at the Stillman camp near Three Rivers, .Quebec. bupreme Court Justice Joseph Morschauser in Poughkeepsie was ready, today, to hear' counsel for Mrs. Stillman argue a plea for $25,000 counsel fees and $10,000 a month ali mony, but not a lawyer appeared. It was reported that the alimony and fees issued had been arranged between the attorneys. John E. Mack, appointed tempor ary guardian of the 2-year-old boy in the case, vyas in court and filed formal proceedings to protect the child's interests. ' In response to questions Mr. Mack said that young Guy was with' his mother, but that he did not know where they were ' living. Beauvais. described in the com plaint of Mr. Stillman as "an Apol lo Belvedere" for a time had charge of the fishing tackle department of Abercrombie & ritch, a house spe cializing in sporting goods and pro moting among the well-to-do the spirit of "the call of the wild." Beauvais -was employed at the store on the recommendation of Mrs. Stillman, who was a highly consid ered customer, it was explained there today.'

Flavorj No cigarette has the same delicious flavor as Lucky Strike. Because It's toasted LUCKY STRIKE CIGARETTE c For 6.3 years- a safe and wholesome babry- food easily- prepared readily digested EAGLE BRAND Condensed MUk Lincoln, March 13. (Special.) Rich men's sons, self-made men, men in the making, strong men, funny men and ether types of men make up the . 100 members of the lower house wrestling with dozens of per plexing problems in the closing days of this session of the legislature. , Falling heir to thousands of acres of Nebraska land, being the son of a late governor . of Nebraska and possessing bank stock in mouth watering quantities failed to make Representative Mickey, a youth who refused to give his elders an oppor tunity to be heard. In fact. Mickey in his first legislative term has been all ears and he hasn't made more than two speeches. He also has es tablished a reputation of "sticking by hjs word." Youthful Banker. Renresentative Dwinht P. Gris- wold is another youthful banker xronv western Nebraska who is wmtimf commendation of older members. He hasn't bored the members with speeches, although he hasn't kept the sphinx-like silence of Mickey. Griswold's stock went up many points in the lower house last week when he was the only American Learion member who didn't refuse to vote on the $10,000,000 bonus bill. Representative Charles S. Reed, the youngest member of the legisla ture, also hails from "way out west." He is a law student at the .univer sity, an American Legion man, a fra ternity man and a- ma who has proved himself capable of making a good speech. Then, there is .Representative James Rodman from "the west," the head of the judiciary committee and the man who probably has develop ed leadership ability more rapidly than any other member. He, like Mickey, has a reputation of "stick ing by his guns." Self-Made Man. Gray hair is sprinkled over the head of Representative Robert Lynn, another western Nebraska banker. Lynn is a self-made man, full of na tive humor and with strong personal like and dislikes but with a multi tude of friends; Representative M. M. Robertson of Omaha bears the distinction of beincr the onlv man in the legisla ture who hasn't made a speech. Yet, there probably is no other member who knows and enjoys the intrigue of politics better than Robertson. He has won respect of the country mem bers and his victory in the hot con test for shifting committee election indicated that he. has learned the primary object of politics-results. Robertson also is classified udder the self-made man caption. Representative Ed Smith of Oma ha is "sitting prettier" with his con stituency in Omaha than ever before in his life since h ewon his spectacu lar fight for his standardized bread bill. He also stands' high with the members. .Nonpartisan Leaguer. Renresentative Ed Hoare, a non partisan leaguer, gives a lie to the general supposition tha the person nel of, this element in political life permeates an odor of new mown hay. Hoare is youthful, well-groom ed and probably is fhe most up-to-date man from a haberdasher's view point in the lower house. Representatives William Randall and "Stub". Hascall are the short and thin of it from the physical view point. Ihey are a team ot young Omaha lawyers serving their first terms and orovine tnnnseives anie to express their views favorably and clearly on the lioor. Renresentative Jlieouore ustcr- man is the big man among the four democrats in the lower house, thanks to experience in numerous other ses sions. Osterman was born a rich man's son, financial reverses came to him and he fought against them, coming out finally with a good sized purse, a genial disposition and much political sense. Then, there is "Alfalfa John" Franklin, former showman and pres ent day economist, who is for econ omy in everything excepting speech making. He always is certain to furnish a sensation at elast once a wee"k. Girl, 9, Teaches Music Boston, March 13. Maty Eliz abeth Meloon, 9, of No. 10 Clay bourne street, Porchester, is believed to be the youngest music' teacher in the country, giving elementary in structions on the piano twice a week, and at the same time pursuing her own study of the modernized dulci mer. Her youngest pupil is her own sister, Helen, 5 years old. Of the 9,000 motor vehicles stolen in New York last year, fewer than 5,000 were recovered. Army Aviators Want Tests Under War Conditions Flyers Enthusiastic Qvcr Pro posal to Bomb Naval Ves sels Would Alloiy Ships s To Return fire. Washington, March 13. Army aviators have become so enthusiast! orcr the proposed .experiment of bombing naval vessels tinder approx- nnate war-time conditions, that scores have suiriref ted that the fleet be allowed to hre back at the planes. While admirals and generals have been advancing and disputing claims that the airplane is far superior to the battleship, army pilots have flooded the office of the air service director with pleas that the matter be settled under real war condi tions. They have been all wrought up over the subject since former Sec retary Danielrt)1Iered to stand bare headed on a battleship and let Brigadier Gene'ral Mitchell, head of the air service, bomb him.ffom the air, Lieut. C. C. Mosley, victorious pilot in the airplane race at Mineola field for the Pulitzer trophy, would be "tickled pink" at the opportunity of a real fight with the navy gun ners. 1 " "I firmly believe, he wrote his chief, "that a bunch of those gobs would have about as much chance of ; hittin? one of us (especially if the old battleship were in motion),' as the proverbial snowball." "With a fast plane, I would feel secure to fly around all day over the Atlantic fleet and let them shoot a me with anything they have," read a letter from Capt. H. W. vbok of Fort Crook, Neb. . . Other army fliers chimed ifl with similar willingness, each asking to be allowed to take part in the ex periment. ' "Pussyfoot" Johnson , Barred From Speaking In Windsor Armories Detroit, March 13.

It clings to teeth, enters crevices and stays. The ordinary tooth paste does not end that film. The tooth brush, used in old ways, leaves much of it intact. So very few. have escaped the damage which that film creates. That film-coat absorbs stains, mak ing the teeth look dingy. Countless facial attractions are marred in that way. Combat that film for a little while . and see how your teeth improve. How teeth are ruined That film is now known as the cause of most tooth troubles. It is the basis of tartar. It holds food substance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Millions of germs breed in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyor rhea. Also of many other troubles, local and internal. Despite the tooth brush, these troub les have been constantly increasing. Some have become alarming in txtent. So dental science has for years been seeking ways to combat that film. Two effective methods Two effective methods have been found.
