Taxicabs Collide and

Hotel Friday Night

A taxicab, belonging to the Oma-

stone steps and landed squarely in
the entrance to the Harvey hotel,
Fourteenth and Harvey streets, Fri

The Omaha cab was driven by

Sullivan had three passengers in
his car, but all escaped uninjured.

Melady Asks Information
About Fixed Prices on Hogs

The great decline in the price Of
hogs and the varying indifferent
markets from the minimum price OF
$lS, which was reported to have
been fixed by an agreement between
the food administration and the
packers in Chicago, has given rise
to so much dissatisfaction that Gene
Melady, of the commission firm of
Melady Brothers, has written Louis
D. Hall, specialist in marketing live
stock and meats in the bureau OF
markets in Washington, asking
where to draw the line on hogs.
When this agreement was re-
ported to~have been made between
the food administration and the
packers $18 was to be the minimum
for October in Chicago for good
hogs, giving the purchasers the OPP
portunity to buy hogs at any price
and calling the big end of them
common" According to reports
yesterday from Chicago, good hogs
sold there from $l4 to $l475, with
rough grades under.
This gives the hog producers in
this territory the impression that
hogs would sell on the Omaha mar
ket with the difference in freight be-
tween Omaha and Chicago, which
would be Is to 50 cents lower than
the minimum agreed upon in
Chicago.
Mr.. Melady asks that the producer
be consulted in the fixing of the
price if he is expected to stay in the
business of producing hogs, and that
some information be sent the local
market concerning the fixed price
agreed upon for the month Of No
if there is to be any limit
placed on the price.
Dealers on the Omaha Live Stock
exchange say the conditions in the
hog situation have never been as
as they are at present
and feel that some arrangements
ought to be mdae to protect the
producer.

WHISKY May Be
USED AS A CURE
FOR INFLUENZA
City Commissioners Vote to
Give ConfiScated "Booze"
to Hospitals for Use In
Combating Disease.

Do you feel that old, pre-prohibi-
ton feeling coming on2 Do you
long for a good stiff drink of
whisky!
Then. listen! Just call on City
Health Commissioner Manning and
tell i'm you feel the flu coming on,
and he'll give you bottle of whisky.
Hold on, read a little farther.
This is what he would do if Re
undertook to do all that four of the
city commissioners voted to let him
do Friday morning. Commissioners
Zimman, Falconer, Butler and IRE
voted to release all the liquor held
impounded in the city Jail, for use
of individuals or hospitals in fgh+-
ing the flu"
Commissioners Smith, Towl and
Ringer voted against it as illegal.
Commissioner Zimman made a
speech in defense o. the action and
even admitted that he had violated
the strict letter of the law recently
in procuring little whisky for the
sick child OF man who appealed to
him.
Il technically violated the law"
he exclaimed. Here | am. Arrest
me, if you like"
But nobody arrested him and the
measure was carried.
But will DR.. Manning give out
whisky to individuals who complain
of feeling the FLU" coming on?
He will not. In loud and ringing
tones he answered.:
This whisky is for the use of
hospitals only. Not single, soli-
tary exception will be made in that,
you may be sure.
So the thirsty need not call and
try to stall. There is nothing doing.
