Captain Dempsey Was Once
a Famous Leader of the Band

Just fifty-five years ago today Police
Captain Michael Dempsey took his first
look at as much of the world as could
be seen from little window In a tiny
home at Pittston, Pa. The outlook evil
IDENTIFY was not very pleasing to little
Mike, for he Is said to have set up an
immediate howl. A green curtain hang
ing upon a heavy stick was the first
object that took his fancy. His tiny hands
hauled it down, and to this day he has
stuck to greenland to the club too, for
1t was not so ordained that one with such
a true Hibernian spirit should be lost in
any other occupation but that of police
work.
Little Mixes disdain of Pittston cropped
out on the day of his birth, and to get
even with the inhabitants for living in
such town, he took up the study of
some kind of a horn. 1t was either fog
horn, or six-cylinder trumpet, the
neighbors say. Mike called it a cornet
Omaha daily bee., 1912-07-31

and other people had number of names
for it. That 1t was not a jewsharp Is
conceded by ALL.
After a thousand or more years Of
practice, the neighbors say. Mike evil
IDENTIFY considered himself a finished
musician for he organized the Pittston
brass band This band Is said to have
been noted for two things. Its members
each voted three times on election day
and they were in universal demand at
wakes. Then Mike left Pittston to it's
own devices and came to Omaha and he's
here yet. Everybody who knows the
Captain is glad except Henry Dunn,
Dempseys brother captain of police. Dunn
also took to music at an early age to get
even with some folks, and the fact that
he has been unable to square all ac-
counts is noted every Monday night at
SIMPSONS den, and because everybody
knows this, Dunn finds himself almost
wishing that Dempsey had stayed in
Pittston.

COMPETITION RAISES PRICES
Such is the Situation in the Ready
Print and Plate Matter Business.
MAY BE ADJUDGED A TRUST
George A. Joslyn Returns from
WashingtOn, Where Western
Newspaper Union Case Has
Been Heard.

In all probability the price of ready
prints and plate matter. both news and
feature, sold to the country publishers
within a short time. This condition is
to be brought about by reason of the fact
that the Western Newspaper union, a
concern that has its principal offices in
Omaha and publishing and printing
houses in the large cities all over the
country. is to be adjudged a trust by the
supreme court.
George ]. Joslyn head of the Western
Newspaper union and who for more than
year has been fighting the attempt to
have the business declared trust, has
returned from Washington, where in or
der to have the matter settled, agreed to
the entering of a decree which will be
signed Saturday of the present week and
given to the public next Monday.
The contended trust feature as applied
to the Western Newspaper union is diff
ferent from any that has heretofore
arisen and was puzzler to the attorney
general, for there was reduction, rather
ultimate consumer.
Some years ago when Mr.. Joslyn took
over the ready-print houses scattered
about the country and consolidated them
under his management, he dropped the
prices some 10 to Is cents per quire to
publishers, preferring to make his money
out of the foreign advertisers. rather
than the hundreds of thousands of
country publishers whom he supplied
with the printed insides and plate matter.
of the eastern cities, believing that there
was money in supplying ready-prints and
plates, went before the attorney general
and filed charges, contending that by
putting the prices SO low Mr.. Joslyn was
preventing competition and consequently
was fostering and maintaining a trust.
Mr. Joslyn took just the opposite view
and while he did not lay any claim to
being a public benefaetor, he alleged
that he was making a fairly good profit
and at the same time was saving large
sums of money to country publishers
all over the United States and was salts
fled to continue along the same line on
which he had started.
Testimony was taken and the facts
were found to be as Mr., Joslyn had al
legged but it was also found that if small
concerns desired to start in the ready
print business there was no profit for
them if they met the prices Of the West
ern Newspaper Union. Their position
seemed to bear weight with the govern
decree is to issue. with the result that 1t
Is looked upon as being very probable
that as soon as the competition begins,
ready-prints will go up to the prices Of
some years ago.

details as to how he played poker in the
