The original allowance for freight
charges on Gubans was 80 cents al

that the Cuban growers are to be al

federal investigation.
That young girls. principally Hawai-

living as procurers, is the information
CLEANED by the juvenile court officers

District Attorney Huber said today
that he has by no means dropped the
matter, and that he intends to go into
it thoroughly with a view to prosecut-

In the woman's home list of names

PeddIed to Soldiers
Both girls told the juvenile court
officers that they had been forced
into lives Of shame by this woman,
who had peddled them out to soldiers
and civilians. They declared that the
woman took from them a part of their
earnings. They told the court that
they were paid all the way from 81 up

They declared that the woman had

were frightened into doing her bid

Judge Heen said that the stories of
the two girls were identical.
The girls testified that there was a

another soldier was living with the

One of the girls, says Miss Maynard,

OMAHA TO BEAR
BRUNT Of WORK
PACKING FOOD
Geographic Location Of This
City Expected to Be Import
ant Factor in Organizing
Food Resources.

When government control OF food
producing industries comes, which
probability is conceded by packers
here, Omaha plants expect TO bear the
brunt of feeding the nation.
Methods of adapting themselves to
wartime conditions, and preparations
for producing foodstuffs OH a war
time footing, are now occupying the
attention OF executives at the various
big South Side plants.
Omaha's geographical location and
strategic position in the producing
part of the country will be an import
ant factor in the war. it is thought,
and steps are now being made to
take advantage OF this to the utmost.
Work on remodeling and enlarging
the Cudahy canning plant is progress
ing rapidly. General Manager Murphy
expects to have the new addition
running by July /, in spite of the
delay in getting necessary machinery.
The capacity will be increased rs per
cent and the plant will give employ
ment to about 200 more persons,
mostly women. The canning depart
ment will then have a capacity of
10000 cans Of corned beef daily.
Mr.. Murphy declared this is one of
the preparedness moves OF his COM
pany. If the war continues any
length OF time there will be a heavy
demand for corned beef. The Cudahy
plant will be ready to do its part
towards keeping the fighting force
we'll fed.
No Changes at Cudahy's.
1--WE have had few men leave us
to join the army said Mr.. Murphy.
There was quite number in the
militia when the trouble on the
border broke out. We held their
places open and paid the difference
between their soldier pay and what
they earned here. That rule is still i'll
effect. When they returned from
Texas we put them back to work, but
they stayed only little while until
they we're called again. Men who
were members OF the militia before
