In this latest step of exposures the
state department believes it has re-
moved the last doubt that Count Won
Bernstorff was the directing head in
America of the German machine for
espionage.
The revelation of the part played
by jeremiah O'Leary was not uneX-
pected and the fact that his name was
suggested by Sir Roger Easement, who
later was executed in England on the
charge of treason, already has been
indicated in earlier disclosures made
by the department.
The injection of the name DR.
Hale" into the German organization
was something of a surprise, however,
and gave immediate rise to specula-
ton as to just what individual was
meant. DR.. William Bayard Hale, act
ing as a newspaper correspondent, was
then in Germany and admittedly close
to the Berlin government.

same policy of silence today as has
characterized previous disclosures,

Sacrifices New Suit to
Return to His REGIMENT

This is the story of Ray Bitney. a
young man with a million dollars
worth of patriotism.
Bitney came to this city February
| and was living at 1888 North Nine
teenth street. He is q years old and
his home is in Hudson, Wis. Tues
day he received call from his old
regiment, Company c, Third intan-
try, of Wisconsin National Guard, or
dering him to report within seventy
two hours. He had with him $50
check which he couldn't cash because
he was practically unknown here. He
also had SIS suit of clothes which
he had recently bought and had never
worn. He brought this to the mer-
chant from whom he had bought 1t
and asked him to refund the money
that he might have cash enough to
buy ticket back to his home and
regiment. The merchant refused to
refund any part of the money.
Bitney went to Attorney w. H.
Shackelford, who pleaded in vain with
the business man to buy back the
suit. Then the attorney, who gave
his legal services gratis, went to City
Prosecutor Mcclure. The merchant
eventually returned to Bitney $40,
arguing that he had made SIS worth
of alterations in the suit The militia
man took the $40, bought his railroad
ticket, and is now speeding home
ward with queer idea of a clothier's
natriotism.

Suit is Filed to
Have 1000 Sacks
Of Beans Destroyed

Suit was filed i'll the federal court
by the United States against 1000
sacks of beans, the action being to
get possession of the beans and de-
stroy them.
They were shipped from West
Hammond, Ind, and Edmore, Mich,
consigned to Post Bros. and are now
in possession of the Pacific Storage
and Warehouse company.
They have been examined and pro-
nounced unfit for food and even prob
ably for seed purposes. Chief In
spector Kemble of the State Food
commission and James r. Garner and
William H. Hartigan of Kansas City,
federal food inspectors, are working
on the case.
The actual owners of the beans
have not yet been unearthed. Grim
inal prosecution may follow if it de-
velops that these beans were allowed
to spoil purposely and as a part of a
gigantic food conspiracy. The price
of beans such as these has trebled in
the last year, and this, together with
stories of large fields of potatoes
bought up and the potatoes allowed
to rot on the ground, supplies impor-
tant outside indications of reasons
for the advancing cost of even the
plainest foods,

Young Men Interested
In Reserve Corps to Meet

Young men interested in the army
officers reserve corps will assemble
at the army building next Wednes-
day evening. April 4, to hear talk
by a regular army officer. Captain
Bower of Fort Omaha will probably
be the speaker.
About forty local men are said to
be interested in the reserve officers
corps. A. c. Potter and others, who
attended to Plattsburg training camp
last summer, are arranging the meet
ing.
John H. Caldwell, secretary Of the
Nebraska Military Training Camps
association, has already received ap-
plications from Omahans who desire
to attend a vacation camp for mill
tary training during the coming sum-
mer at Fort Riley.
There has been much talk among
prospective reserve officers and mill
tary training campers concerning the
proposition to organize a volunteer
company here for possible service in
case of war. At present, however.
the promoters of this idea are wait
ing action by congress on the univer-
sal training idea.

Bill DeVereese to
Quit Police Force
After Twenty Years

After twenty-five years of continu-
Gus service in the Omaha police de-
partment, "Bill' Devereese, head Of
the bureau Of identification and as
sistant chief of detectives, is going to
quit to become chief of police at the
Armour packing plant on the South
Side. On Saturda he will begin a
thirty-day leave of absence, which
friends say, is merely preface to his
final resignation.
Devereese was the first ma. in the
local police department to master the
intricacies of the Bertillon system Of
labelling criminals. His early pro-
hciency in the fnger-print system and
the art of "mugging" bad men Of this
territory won for him the position Of
chief of that bureau His prints" OF
men and their records have repeated
ly earned commendation from the po-
lice chiefs of other cities.

WRIT DENIED ON
NORTH SIDE DUMP
Judge Leslie opines Alleged
Nuisance No More Pungent
Than Fair Dundee.
MAKES OWN INSPECTION

Judge Leslie ruled that the Dump
ing place at Twenty-second street and
Meredith avenue is not as pungent as
some places he has observed out in
fair Dundee where he abides.
Tuesday evening the Judge visited
the Meredith avenue dump, adjusted
his spectacles carefully and tilted his
nose to proper angle.
Residents of that neighborhood
brought suit to compel the health
commissioner to abate this alleged
nuisance.
Il recently found dead cat on a
corner where live in Dundee and |
found dead 6 on another, corner"
said the Judge when he announced
that he did not believe it would be
necessary to issue writ asked for by
the complainants.
Il do not believe the dump is a
nuisance" said the Judge, in his opin-
ion on the Meredith avenue dump, iii
fact it hasn't been used for any pur-
pose that would be obnoxious, and |
don't think there is any likelihood
that it will be used for such purpose,

United States district court here to-
day on order of the supreme court

Body of Man Found in
Pappio Creek Identified

The body of the man found on the
bank of Pappio creek early Tuesday
morning by a Union Pacific train
crew has been identified as that OF
Frank Gevort, a laborer, who had
been working for V. L. Peterson, a
railroad contractor of Des Moines,
la. Mr.. Peterson, who is in Omaha
told the county attorney and ex-of-
fcio coroner that he would endeavor
to locate Gevort's relatives.
Gevort was last seen alive at Mo-
dale, Ia, where he was employed by
the railroad contractor. His body
was found near Omaha partly sub
merged in frozen mud. Though no
marks of violence were discovered on
the body, mystery surrounds the case
and the county attorney will probably
make an investigation. He will talk
with relatives before deciding on
whether or not to order an inquest
held.
