Little Alice was visiting her grand.
parents in an eastern city. One Sun,
day grandpa took her to church with
him. When sermon time came Mary
looked around a little, and, seeing a
relative up in the gallery, whispered
shrilly: "Oh, grandpa, look up there!
See Cousin Mary sitting on a shelf"

JUDGE FOURFLUSH MAHONEY
HAS COLD FEET ~

Major James Miles, chief of the po-
lice efficiency bureau, today reported
to the mayor that every attempt to
get Judge Mahoney to make any spe-
cific charges of police ineficiency in
the Desplaines street district has
been unavailing.
In sending the report to the mayor,
Civil Service Commissioner Flynn
said it shows "that Judge Mahoney
has no explicit information on which
a further investigation can be made"
The other way of stating what
Miles and Flynn said is simple. 1t
is just saying that Judge Mahoney
was fourfiushing when he made his
extraordinary charges against the
Desplaines police, and that he suffer-
ed bad case of cold feet when his
bluff was called.
The report of Miles probably
means that the civil service commits
sion will make no investigation into
Mahoney's charges. +
This is little to the liking of Police
Captain Meagher. Mahoney reflected
on Meagher's efficiency and honesty,
and Meagher wants thorough in
vestigation to clear him.

GUST SHOE TRUST LOBBY


The evidence in regard to the shoe
trust taken by the O'Hara vice COM
mission at Springfield will be sent
verbatim to Rep. Hill of Illinois and
by him read into the congressional
record
This statement was made by Lieut..
Gov. Barratt O'Hara here today. The
object of having the testimony show
ing that the shoe trust works girls
II and 13 and IA hours a day for
a mere pittance read to Congress is
to bar the powerful shoe trust lobby
from the floor of the House.
The O'Hara commission will re-
turn to Springfield today, and reopen
its inquiry into low wages there. The
Springfield newspapers are fighting
the low wage probe bitterly.
Next Friday the commission will
return to Chicago. and sit here. At
that time number of the wealthiest
fiat owners in the city will be called
before the commission.

are so high that they prevent thou

TORNADO DEATH ROLL
NOW PLACED AT 800:
LOSS IS 100000
200 Killed in Omaha AIone-M MANY
Fine Homes Wrecked and Entire
Families Perish as Buildings Crash
BLIZZARD NOW RAGING THERE

Special By United Press Wire
Omaha, Neb, March 25:-With two inches of snow covering the
ground the work of rescue in the path of Sunday nights storm was difficult
today. An entire regiment OF militia Is patrolhng the storm districts aid
ing regular troops in the clearing work. All public buildings have been
thrown open to the homeless.
After a check of undertaking establishments today 1t was found that
there are 10 known dead in Omaha. Wholly or partially destroyed houses
number 1869. These figures do not include churches, schools and private
mercantile establishments.
The loss in the homes wrecked alone is estimated at 100000 and
the total loss $40, 200. 900. There are 2,179 people made homeless by the
tornado being cared for at relief stations Two hundred and sixy-three
persons have reported themselves destitute and dependent upon the state.
Wagons are hurrying food and clothing to relief stations. Plans for re-
building the wrecked districts are already under way. Fourteen unidentt
fed bodies are in the morgue. Friends and relatives of missing persons
are fockng there, but all approach with the dread that when the sheet is
pulled back they will gaze upon the dead face of dear ones.
Scores of homeless have found refuge with relatives and friends. The
relief fund grew slowly today with the small donation of the workmgmen
rather than the big pledges of the rich.
No more damage is reported from Council Bluffs. Property damage is
estimated there at $3.50, 900. Twelve were killed by the storm. County
Detective Macney declared the looters and ghouls will be severely dealt
with. There will be at least a scor OF funerals today and funerals will
continue for many days.

BEING
SOLD IN CLUBS
Excise Board to Make Inves-
tiQation-- FraternaI Orders

Sale of liquor without a license in
clubs and headquarters of fraternal
orders may be stopped as the result
of activity of at least one member
of the Board of Excise Commission
ers. Commissioner Daniel w.
Boehm, who fathered the movement
for the elimination of sale of liq-
uors without a license in dancing
places, has in view a plan to take up
the entire subject in a careful man
ner. His aim is to stop all sale Of
liquor In any form throughout the
city where 1t may be disposed of
without a license.
Members of one fraternal order,
which has been operating a buffet,
declared Mr.. Boehm had investigated
their headquarters. This the COM
missioner denied, stating that his in
tentions were to take up the entire
subject In a careful manner later on.
1t Is understood the commissioners
stand divided, two to two, on this
matter.
