OMAHA FUNERALS
AND RELIEF WORK

OMAHA. March E.-Fifty-two funer-
ais silently winding their way to ceme-
teries brought home with greater force
to the people of Omaha the full reali-
zation of the extent of Sundays tor
rado. All day long. as fast as hearses
could deposit the bodies at graves, Il
continual death procession was kept
up.
There was little ceremony. As quick
" as one funeral was over another be-
gan. Undertakers co-operated in ar
ranging burials. In several instances
where entire families were killed or
where more than one member of a
family awaited burial, one funeral
service was held.
One of the most pitiful of the funer-
ais was that of Mrs Mary Rethkey
and two small children. Surviving Mrs
Rathkey is the husband and father.

friends since he learned of his wtfe's
death. Mrs. Rathkey and children
were killed in their home.

Many cases of destitution were RS

up. 1t took much time to prepare card
indexes of sufferers wants and 20
make acquisitions on the central relief
station at the Auditorium for supplies.
While these formalities were being
carried through want stalked through
disconsolate homes from one corner of
the city to the other. Tne task OF
caring for those needing food, cloth
ing, supplies and money seemed to
be too large for the relief forces.
Forty-five more persons applied for

cases of sensitive pride thai prevented
sufferers from applying for assistance.
A young girl who came to the station
at Forty-siXth and Leavenworth streets
told of father siXty-five years old who

would not ask for aid, but the child
did, and it was forthcoming.

BOGUS F|NANC|ER
 COMES TO GRIEF
J. R. Holland Was Arranging for Heavy Investments When Officers Became Interested and Placed
 Him Under Arrest.

J. R. Hollands career in high finance received a setback Mon day evening when he was lodged in the Polk county jail upon the charge of impersonating an officer. Last Wednesday Holland, accom- panied by woman from Webb
 City, Mo-, arrived in Mena and reg Istered at a local hotel as man and wife. Almost immediately he got busy among property owners and business men, and was negotiating
 he purchase of several pieces of property, among which was the
 Antlers hotel. From his conversa- ion he led several to believe that le was going to invest heavily in ilena property and that his tinan-
 .ial condition was Al.
 Not only was Holland going into
 he purchasing of real estate, but inc arranged with several farmers to purchase their live stock.
 His actions aroused the suspi-
 cionS of the officers in the sheriff s department, especially after he had Introduced himself as deputy
 sheriff from Benton county Sheriff Thornton wired to Sloan Springs for information, and learned that Holland was not an officer, and that he was wanted there for passing bogus checks.
 On Monday Mir. Thornton went to the hotel to take charge of the al .eged deputy. but that astute gen leman mad disappeared and his whereabouts was not known. About noon there was a telephone mes
 sage to the holel from Rust, asking
 hat Mr Holland be called to the phone. The officers suspected that | the call was from Holland himself, and, acting on that theory, Sheriff Thornton and Deputy Mount went
 to Rust in an auto and located their man about a quarter of mile be- low the town. Holland did not ap- pear much surprised when placed in custody, and stated that it was his intention to return on the train that evening. He was taken to the county jail and the authorities at lSnoam Springs notified, but he will not be carried back there to an
 swer for passing the alleged bad
 cheeks.
 Saturday afternoon Holland, ac- ompanied by the woman who came to Mena with him, went be- fore County Clerk Parker and was granted a marriage license for J lR. Holland of Sloan Springs and Miss Noma Cenlrell of Webb City No. The man gave Mir. Parker q heck on the First National Bank If Rogers for the required fee, but this proved 10 be worthless. The ouplc was married Saturday night
 II is said that Holland has beer
 constantly under fine influence oi iquor or drugs since he has been in Mena. and his actions bear out the statement. He is not an edu- raled man. and some of his at
 templs to purchase property ano obtain credit were very crude and
 instantly aroused the suspicious ol his intended victims.
 It is not known whether the fed
 eral authorities will charge Holland
 with violation of the Mann white
 slave act.
