OMAHA. Jan. 6.-To the Editor OF The
Bee; ] notice there have been a great
many letters In the papers Ia defense OF
the double-shift system now in vogue in
Omaha in our fire department realize
the strength Of the argument often re-
peated that & IL unfair to ask men TO
work twenty-four hours, saving the time
off for meals, and l appreciate that II Is
an occupation many of US would not en-
Joy. but unfortunately the same argument
may be applied TO many other oooupa-
lions like sailors or soldiers. OF any other
occupation that takes a man away from
his home for long periods OF time. The
answer Is. Notwithstanding the conditions.
there are hundreds of men ready to serve
in these places and in the fire department;
there has always been a waiting list even
under the single shift.
1 understand, however. that tho double
shift is coming into vogue in other cities.
and had no intention OF attempting to
repeal the present law unless a proper
efficiency survey recommended It, to-
eether with other amendments TO the
charter whereby we could save sufficient
money to improve our city without I'm
cfeaSlng the budget Inc ooubie bnlIt
may be expensive. but I believe. aside
from that item. the fire department is as
free from inefficiency and extravaganza
as any department In the city.
l still feel convinced that the people OF
Omaha will adopt the, city manager plan
II they are given an opportunity. The
commission form OF government was
merely a step In the right direction To-
ward civic reform and rarely IL the COM
mission form OF government adopted in
any city at present that does not contain
the city manager plan. II we have a
commission OF five OF the same type Of
men as our Water board, drawing, say,
$1,000 a year. merely acting as a board Of
directors in an advisory capacity. and
let them select a city manager, Just as
railroad would select a president. by seek
ing the country over for the ablest execu-
tive they could find and then have this
man conduct the affairs of Omaha on a
business-like basis, regardless OF politics
or spoils. we would soon have a cleanup
In Omaha and do away with extraya-
gance. nepotism. inefficiency and fraft.

TRIES TO PUT ONE
 OVER ON POLICEMAN
James HalIoran Fined in Court Today For Driving Without
 A License.

James Halloran's explanation of why he did not have his auto opera tors license to exhibit when ac costed OH Main street at 12:40 o'clock this morning failed to explain to the satisfaction of Judge John H. Kirk ham in court today and he imposed a fine of s2 af costs.
 Officer Walenczius arrested Hallor- an. Who comes from South Manches- ter. He first accosted the man be- cause his auto lights were not lighted. There seemed to be some trouble in the lighting system and when the of- he said it was in the rear seat. A dili- gent search failed to locate it, how ever, and the autoist explained that he must have left 1t in another car, as he operates three. During this ar gument with the officer man named O'Lcary- came Up the street and got into the car in sly manner He then asserted himself and informed the of ficcr it was not necessary for Hallor- an to have a license as he was with him and had ono himself. The ruse failed to work however, and Halloran was ordered to appear in court today.
 Tie South Manchester man pleaded not guilty and told the court that aft CT he left the local police station he went to a Hartford garage where he was grealy surprised to find that he had had his Ncrse with him all the time but that it had slipped down back of the seat.

AUTO CHEMICAL
 HITS ICE WAGON
After Dumping Wagon on Hartford Avenue It Turns Two Complete
 Circles in Street.

The big automobile chemical with Engine Company No. 1 performed a series of circus stunts on Hartford avenue shortly after o'clock yester- day afternoon when, in responding to a fire on Oak street, it sideswiped I. Kopolowitz's wagon and then twice sl1idded completely around on the pavement.
 Driver Edward Woods was at the wheel and the other members of the company were on the rear step. Speeding down the avenue the truck skidded on the pavement and the front wheel struck the ice wagon on the step, separating the body of the wagon from the horse. The truck then swerved completely around and before the driver could get the for ward wheels righted it described an- other complete circle in the street.
 The fire was a slight one in the house owned by l. Swarsky at Il Oak street and the damage was small.
 This was the first response that the new city service truck has made to a fire and handled by Driver Fred F'agg~it worked to advantage.

DANBERG VS. ANDREW
 IN WARRANT CONTEST
Former Court Clerk In No Hurry To Turn Over Documents to His Suc-
 cessor, 1t Is Said.

On July 1, the regime of Judge c. w. Andrew closed as an official in the local police court as clerk, but the prosecuting attorney is evidently of the impression that he still thinks he reigns supreme over matters that pertain to police court.
 When Judge Andrews term ended, he was supposed to turn over all pa- pers and records of the court to the new clerk, E.. J. Danberg, but this he has evidently neglected to do. A sample of his actions was presented in court yesterday morning when the case of John Rosoff was called in court, for violation of probation. When the accused was arraigned search was made for the warrant charging Rosoff with abusing a horse, but no trace of it could be found and it was afterward learned that Judge Andrew was in possession of the war rant and also others, which may be of value to the court officials at some future date.
 Clerk Danberg went to Judge An drews office recently and requested him to give an officer the warrants to deliver at the police station. but all the satisfaction he received was that the papers would be delivered when he, Judge Andrew, got time. He has evidently been very busy since for the warrants have not been re- ceived. He also informed the clerk that no officer need call at his office for the documents.

ATTACKS PAINTER,
 THEN IS PAINTED
Henry Fcnski is Arrested on Beaver Street This Morning For
 Fighting.

Henry Fenski, of 115 Beaver street his moustache dripping white paint and his face besmeared with the mix ture of pigments so that he resembled one of Kingling Brothers circus clowns, was locked up this morning on a charge of breach of the peace and assaulting Francesca Dolce, a painter.
 Shortly before 9 o'clock Officer Frank English received a telephone call which he understood was for a fire on Beaver street. The fire de- partment was sent speeding to the place and found that it was a fight and not a fire The patrol was then dispatched to the scene and Officers McCabe and Brophy took Fenski and Dolce to the police station.
 Fenski claimed that Dolce, who was painting the house next to his, placed the ladder so it obstructed his driveway. When he expostulated he said he was abused by the old paint CT and given 9, slap in the face with a wet paint brush He also declared that during the melee the painter struck him over the eye and Wom- an who entered the flsnt bounced a heavy club off his chm.
 Dolce and his son. Patsey, told a different story They said that Pat sey was up on the ladder painting the house when Fenski rushed out and told him to get down and move the ladder off his driveway. An argu- ment ensued in which Fenski became violent and pulled the ladder down, then proceeded to assault the older Dolce. Patsey said that it was girl named Christina Naples who struck F'enski with a club.

ARMENIAN TAG DAY
 FOR WORTHY CAUSE
Thousands Perishing From Sick.
 ness, Hunger and Cruelty

Today is Armenian Tag Day and the generous people of New Britain are again contributing to a worthy cause, for if half the tales that come from that stricken land are true hu- manity has a duty to perform of even more urgent character than in the case of the Belgians. The Armenian Red Cross is in charge of the Tag Day work in this city, but commit tee of which Rev. Harry I. Bodley, rector of St Marks Episcopal church, is. chairman, is taking a special in- terest in the work and will see that the funds received will be forwarded to the national headquarters.
 The Armenians assert that the Turkish government has conspired to destroy their people completely and to that end has slaughtered them by the thousands They plan in this manner to settle the Armenian ques- tion once and for all Various methods are employed, all to the same end. Every able bodied man is driven to the war and placed in the most exposed positions. They are left with little food and no protection. Others dl . lildue SldNSS Dy LitC ai No oiio "A V tortured in every conceivable manner, it is claimed.
 Deportation is another method em- ployed. The people are marched to far distant cities and their property confscated by the Turks. The aver age journey is eight to ten weeks. Food for several days is taken and the journey is safe for a few days. Then the torture begins. The sick, the weary, children and all unable to endure the rigors of travel are put to death and this is done until nearly all are killed Sometimes a few reach the destination and of others not one arrive.
 So far as can be learned twenty nine cities have been sacked and the inhabitants driven off to slavery and death. Some of these cities num- hered 65,000 inhabitants and the lowest 5000, making a total of 895,- 900. Of this vast number but from two to three thousand have reached theiE destination and the rest have perished in a horrible manner. At present there are S00,000 refugees in Russia, most of them sick and des- titute. No stricken people in the his- tory of the world ever needed aid more than the destitute of Armenia.
