Omaha Publisher Asks for
Dismissal of Liquor Charge

Walter Rosickey, Omaha pub
Usher, appeared before Federal
Judge Woodrough Thursday and
asked dismissal of his case on the
grounds that federal officers over
reached their authority in searching
his home and Selling liquor therein
without a warrant. Rosickey is
charged with violating the Reed
amendment relative to interstate
transportation of liquor.
The district attorney cited a SIM
liar case where Judge Munger in
the district court at Lincoln held
that the United States marshal has
a right to search or seize liquor
where he has reason to believe that
the party is violating the law.
Rosickey's motion was overruled,
and he later pleaded not guilty and
was bound over to the next term Of
court

FEDERAL WAR
BOARD STARTS
Stacker drive
Work or Fight Order Will Be
Enforced; Franklin is in
Charge Of the Omaha
Drive.

The federal war board has or
dered an immediate survey Of every
city, town and community in the
United States with a view to hunt
ing out slackers and men who are
doing nonessential work. For Oma-
ha and vicinity this work has been
placed in the hands of L. F. Frank
lin who has charge of the govern
1nent labor bureau. Mr.. Franklin
has drafted a dozen helpers and has
commenced making a survey OF the
city. This survey will take in every
business and industry in the city
and it will also take Mr.. Franklin
and his assistants into all the shops
and business houses of every char
acter.
Commenting on the new order
under which he is working, Mr..
Franklin said:
1T is not only in Omaha, but ev-
erywhere in Nebraska and the en-
tire country that similar survey
is being made. Our instructions are
to visit every industry and every
place of business, ascertaning the
number of men employed, their
ages, physical condition and what
they are doing. Where men are en-
ployed in nonessential work we
have full authority to take them out
and give them essential work. 1t
they refuse to accept such employ
ment we are to turn them over to
the draft boards that they may be
at once indicted into the army. 1t
i. a real work or fight order.
1--WE are directed to give special
attention to places where men are
employed as walters, BARRIERS, dis
pensers of soft drinks, pool hall at
PENDANTS and automobile drivers.
There is plenty of essential work
and at the best of wages and there
is no excuse for ablebodied men
holding down these easy jobs. &
packing houses are compelled to
curtail their output simply because
they cannot get men. AT the same
time there are plenty of men if
they were inclined to work. The
South Omaha packing houses today
would give employment to 500 or
900 men at 81 to SIS a day.
"War work is being carried on at
the smelter, the Union Pacific shops.
the McKeen motor works and half
dozen other places in the city.
They are all running short handed
simply because they cannot get men
and at the same time big husky
men are loafng on the streets and
refusing to work, though they
might be earning anywhere from 81
to Sc a day. These men must go to
work or fight. If they refuse the
employment that we offer them,
they will be indicted into the army
inside of 10 days. We now have the
authority and we are going to exer-
else it."

United States District Attorney
T. S. Allen issued a call Thursday
afternoon for grand jury to con-

Mr.. Allen announced the call i'm
mediately after decision handed
down by Judge Woodrough over
ruling a rehearing in the John c.
Lynch white slave indictment. On
Wednesday Lynch's attorney filed a
demurrer in his indictment, point
ing to technical wording in the in
dictmeny as to the method of trans
portation. contending that the word
ticket" should have been used,
rather than the word "transporta-
ton" The demurrer allowed by the
Judge on the three counts in the in
dictment, and his subsequent over

for a rehearing prompted Attorney
Allen to issue the call for another

Captain Lindquist
Praises Red Cross and
Y. M. E. A. Workers

Captain A. L. Lindquist, an Om-
aha physician, who left for France
about year ago to head an am
bulance corps, in a letter to his wife
said: The Y. NJ. c. A. and the
Red Cross are Godsend. Just when
| am so tired and sleepy and hungry
that | wonder how much further |
can go along comes a Red Cross
woman, girl or man, with smiles
and bids us welcome and we get
some coffee, buns and rusks. And at
nights after our men are slowed
away with stomachs full, | have
found Y. w. c. A. worker in hut
ready. smiling and courteous, to
change our money, give us some
thing hot to drink and a sandwich"
Il can't say in words how l feel
toward the Y. NJ. c. A. and the
Red Cross and if people could only
see their work and know how un-
selfish and courteous they are and
what place they fill, they would
give literally to their fund"
The captain writes of the children
he has seen who remind him of his
own little son, Allyn.

Chicago. ILL.,, Oct. 24.-Selling on the
part Of leading commission houses gave
the corn market swing to decidedly
lower levels today. Uncertainty which
prevailed at the outset was quickly over
come. Aggressive support seemed to be
lacking. Opening figures. which ranged
from sc decline to &c advance, with
November s1.27h to $1.Ss aid December
s1.23h to $1.24. were followed by minor
fluctuations, and then break all
around
Wet weather that appeared likely to
restrict movement Of oats made the oats
market relatively firm. Prices. however,
reflected in some degree the weakness Of
corn. After opening unchanged to NC
higher, with November $3.50 to 69hc,
values eased down somewhat, but kept
within narrow limits.
Provisions weakened with corn. Ribs
fell the limit.

place served only to bring out renewed

muster aggressive support.
Oats followed corn. but wet weather
which would be likely to restrict the

as something of check on declines
There was no government inquiry.
Provisions weakened with hogs and
