Gang Made Young

Witness Asserts
egro Telli Juvenile Court
rudge How Boy Is Initiated
"uto Thieving Fraternity
by Companions.
An elaborate ceremony (or initia
ting young boys Into a thieving fra
ternity is practiced in Omaha.
Joseph G. Payne, 62, colored and
born a slave, related the ceremony,
as lie witnessed it. to Judge Sears in
juvenile court yesterday.
Payne appeared against Nick Da
mato, 14, 2246 Pierce street, and Joe
Bruno, 13, 1024 South Twenty-first
street, accused of stealing butter
from a wagon of the Midwest Milk
company at Twentieth street and
roppleton avenue.
The aged ncp.ro was fitting on th
curb across the street eating his
lunch when he witnessed the queer
ceremony.
"The gang, headed by Nick, led
the younger boy into the middle of
the street, made him stoop down,
beat him on the back, gave him a
kick in the direction of the wagon,
then stood by while he helped him
self to the pound packages of but
ter," said Payne. "They're the
worst boys I ever saw in 62 years
of my life," he told the court.
The boys afterward sold the but
ter in the neighborhood for 25 cents
a p-wnd. he said.
Nick and Joe denied these charges
and that of the night watchman of
the muaicipal plant that they broke
cork slais at the ice plant. They
accuse SO other boys of the "Twen
tieth street gang."
Both boys were committed to the
Kiverview home. Nick, who is on
parole from Kearney, may be re
turned there after his hearing next
Saturday, the judge intimated.
"You're a bad egg in a bunch of
had egg." was the judge's comment
00-Foot Skinner Sign
Must Remain on Plant
The Dold Packing company was
stopped by the district court from
removing the 200-foot "Skinner
Packing Company" sign from the
front of the big packing plant on
the South Side.
The Skinner Packing company ob
tained the restraining order this
morning on the ground that the plant
has been merely leased to the Dold
company for a term of years, at the
end of which, under the contract,
it must be turned back to the Skin-,
ner company in the same condition
as it was when taken over.
Do You Make Mistakes?

, Winning a typt championship is
much like winning a prist fight.
Rose Friedman says so and Rose
knows she holds the world's ac
curacy speed record.
"Jack Dempsey has nothing on me
I train just as hard for my event
as he does," said the "queen of
typists," at the end of a demonstra-

lion in i ne xce omccs ycsicruay.
Here are a few records she made:
Fourteen strokes per second.
One hundred and forty-two words
net per minute for an hour.
One hundred and thirty-two words
per minute for 15 minutes, without a
single error.

Finely Clad Band
Thought Thieves
Prowling Dundee
2 Women and 2 Men Operat
ing in Motor Car Believed
to Be Robbers Looting
Fashionable Homes.
Two women and two men, nattily
dressed and operating in a motor
car were beipg sought yesterday by
Omaha police as the profes--home
prowlers who have operated in
Dundee the last 10 days.
R. S. Arthur, broker, 5704 Harney
street, reported to the police his
home was entered nday nignt Be
tween 9 and 11 o'clock and $400
Rose Friedman at her Underwood, ready for a demonstration in speed
and accuracy.
in the near future, too," Miss Fried
man promised.
Miss Friedman's pre-endurance
contest training includes three hours
daily typesetting practice on her Un
derwood for three months before the
event and such other physical exer
cise as will keep her in the pink of
condition.
"You can't afford to let your
nerves get away from you; person
ally, I haven't any," she said.
Miss Friedman struck her first key
on a typewriter just 10 years ago,
when she was 14.
"I practiced hours every day, just
as one practices to be a concert
pianist, before I began to show any
signs of speed," she related. "Hard
work is the way to do it and my
youth helped,, too."
Miss Friedman's fingers give no
indication of their cunning. Her
hands are small and plump. They
give the impression of strength, but
not the marvelous agility latent with
in them. The finger nails are cut
close, not to interfere with striking
the keys.
"And they are not insured." Miss
Friedman would have you know.
"Miss" Friedman has been out of
the type racing game for two years
and only went back five weeks ago.
Writes and Talks.
One of the feats Miss Friedman
accomplished was to write 143 words
per minute without a mistake, at the
same time answering three questions
put to her by one of The Bee staff.
She made but nine errors last
week, despite a dozen demonstra
tions. Under arrangements witii the
Underwood Typewriter company
Miss Friedman is in Omaha to give
demonstrations in the schools to
impress upon students the desirabil
ity of accuracy.

Mr, Arthur yesterday declared
women must have taken part
in the robbery, for some of the
things stolen could not possibly
have been wanted by a man.

door to the Arthurs, told the police
he was converr ing with : quartet of
ncatly-.clothed and smartly-gowned
men and women in front of the Ar
thur home Friday afternoon.
"They said they were planning to
purchase a home in the vicinity," he
told the officers. "Two of them re
mained in their costly motor car
while the other pair walked around
and chatted with me."
Mrs. Arthur also told police she
saw the quartet chatting with Dowd,
and that one of the women carefully
examined the "location" during the
conversation.
Police have their net spread for
the quartet.

that they had liquor tor sale, an
nouncement that expert counsel
plans to test the law's constitution

violation were outstanding develop

threw out five cases of alleged vio

man laid down a general rule that
persons arrested simply for having
liquor in their possession without
proof of intention to sell, would not
be held for trial.
The dry campaign proceeded to
day with unabated intensity. City
courts were crowded to luffoeatioft
by alleged violators, who stood hi
