43 Ask 9:30 Curfew
On Hojy Rollers' Racket
. . Religion is good thing, residents
of the Twenty-fourth and Sprague
streets neighborhood believe, but
they hold that "outbursts, crying,
moaning, yelling and shouting are
, not desirable manifestations thereoi.
" . The quoted words are from a pe
tition signed by 43 residents- and ad
dressed to the police 1 riday ask
ing that the meetings of the "holy
rollers," being held nightly in a store
building at 4002 North Twenty
fourth street, be curbed, or at least
stopped, at, say, 9x30 o'clock instead
of being allowed to run to midnight.
One of the sect, they say, told a
.crowd outside the building Friday
night that the signers would "be in
.hell within two days."

"I can't make her talk to you but I
would advise her to, in order to pro
' mote the welfare of your children,"
.the judge replied.
, "I don't want to talk to him,
judge," interpolated the woman.
The couple, who have a divorce
suit pending, were brought into

Judge Sears declared the custody
of the children would be decided by
the judge "who granted the decree.

! .M&n Jailed by Judge for
Silence to Questions Freed
I :i - Guistave Mickish was released yes
terday from the v county jail after
scrying three weeks for refusing to
answer questions in District Judge
Troup's court on May 26 in a suit
, brought against him by Charles J.
Southard. Judge Troup sent him to
jail from the court room when he
declined" to answer the . inquiries.
Yesterday he signed papers present
ed by the, attorneys which contained
ht information they sought to get
Mvifl him on the witness stand.
The say the lure of .flying keeps
a man in the air.
'Tis true that while aviators are
hovering majestically over Omaha,
their planes humming a pretty purr,
that H. E. Smith, chief mechanician
at the Omaha air mail station, re
lives the thrills of flying.
Hi heart cries out to take to the
clouds occasionally in one of Uncle
Sam's ships but a promise to wife
stands in the way.
Gives His Promise.
"I promised her nearly two years
ago I wouldn't fly any more," de
clared Smith. Guess the only way
I can take the air now is to jump."
Smith holds an enviable record as
a flyer and airplane mechanician.
When it comes to delicate work
in adjusting carburetors or detecting
that little knock in the motor that
may hinder a successful flight, younwsy
omun is ine man Denina ine gun.
Praises are sung of the daring
fights of air mail pilots in their
speedy ships, but not every pilot
knows now safe hia,shtp is before he
takes the air.
Up to Chief Mechanician.
That is up to the chief mechani
cian of the stations.
He tests the motor of a ship be
fore every flight and sees that the in
tricate oiling system and rigging are
in excellent working condition.
. He gives the word and the ship
is O. K'd.
It makes Smith's heart sore to see
his fellow pilots at the station take
their pretty hop-off for Chicago or
Cheyenne. But he sticks to the
promise to his wife. .
In Work 10 Years.
Smith has been In aviation work
for the past 10 years. He first
gained experience at an airplane field
near Squantum, Mass. His service
is linked with the first flights of
Glenn Curtis and the Wright
brothers.
At the Harvard meet in 1910 he
won fame for flights that were near
record-breakers at that time.'
During the late war he was at
tached to the aeronautical experi
mental and research branch of the
navy abroad. He flew in Italy,
Prance and England.
4 No Serious Accident
Chief Mechanician Smith' was also
one of the first men to take a test
flight in the famous NC-1 that made
the trm across the Atlantic.
Though he experienced several
forced landings in his career, young
Smith has never had a serious acci
dent.
He declares the place for a mar
ried man is "not in the air."1
"A married man ought never to
fly, he said. "Terra firma is his
olace. A wife has plenty of wor
ries without bearing the suspense of
having her husband flirt with death.
v Mr. Smith has been in the air
mail service for three years.
Shell Shock Blamed
For Chicago Murder
Chicago, June 18. Ehell-shock,
sustained while campaigning with
British forces in Mesopotamia, was
given by witnesses today as the prob
able reason why Sergeant Thomas
Smyth, late of the Royal (Canadian)
engineers yesterday shot and killed
Mrs. Margaret Ennis, aged wealthy
woman, at whose home he had been
formerly living,' but whom she had
sent away when his attentions be
came obnoxious.
Friends of Sergeant Smyth, said
he labored under the hallucination
that he was betrothed to Mrs. En
nis. After she had sent him away
from her apartment, he became vio
cntly jealous of Harry T. Mclnter
ney, plumber, who is married and
has a family.

"Dollars to Doughnuts"
May Be Trite But It's Right
"From dollars to doughnuts"
sounds a bit trite, but it applies per
fectly to one of Omaha's prominent
citizens.
The P. C. meaning prominent
citizen is John F. Hecox, former
vice president of the Pioneer State
bank. ' -
But now he's running the Superior
Doughnut factory at 916 North Six
teenth street.
Apparently the demand for dough
nuts is right brisk, for Mr. Hecox was
very busy yesterday.
- "It's Saturday morning and I
haven't time to tak about anything,"
he said, and his receiver clicked.

2 Burners Urged
As Solution to
Garbage Trouble
Dr. A, S. Pinto, City Health
Head, Suggests Muny Incin
erators on North and
South Side. .
Two municipal garbage inciner
ators, one in North Omaha and one
on the South Side, would solve the
present garbage problem, according
to an opinion expressed .yesterday
by Dr. A. S. Pinto, city health com
missioner. Dr. Pinto indicated he soon vould
recommend a $150,000 bond proposi
tion to finance such a project.
Dr. Pinto explained he had con
siderable experience in the disposal
of garbage during his period of serv
ice in the army, during which time
he learned the efficiency of the in
cinerator plan.
He would add ashes and tin cans
to the garbage collection, he said,
because a sifting of the ashes could
rescue a goodly amount of coal, and
the tin cans, gathered from alleys and
byways, could be freed of paper by
fire and then flattened out and sold
to foundries, the money being furned
back into the incinerator' fund. This
worked well in the army, he said.
