BANKERS REALTY
Charge Conspiracy to Gain
Control Of Company and
Excessive Charge for
Building Hotels.

The North American Hotel Co.
filed suit against the Bankers Realty
Investment Co., yesterday in district
court, demanding an accounting
from the latter and its officers on
various transactions involving the
building of hotels in various Nebras-
ka and Iowa cities.
A temporary restraining order was
granted by District Judge Day, en-
joining the Rankers Realty Invest
ment Co. from holding certain COM
mon stock in the North American
Hotel Co. and from disposng of/cer>
tain real estate and mortgages and
from interfering with the officers Of
the North American Hotel Co. in
the management of that company. A
bond of $1,000. was filed by the
pla .ntiff.
The North American Hotel Co.
alleges that the Bankers Realty In
vestment Co. and its officers con-
spired in September. 1917, to secure
control of the North American
Hote, Co., and that 100000 secured
from the latter to build hotel in
Grand Island was really used to buy
1000 shares of stock in the North
American Hotel Co., thus securing
control of that company.
AT various dates, it is charged, the
North American Hotel Co. was in
duced to sign contracts to pay for
the erection of hotels and it is charg-
ed the figures were invariably higher
than the actual cost of the hotels.
A hotel built at Hampton, Ia, they
charge, was paid for with $4,000 Of
North American Hotel Co. funds.
It is alleged that this hotel cost only
Sl25,000.
Similar charges are made regard
ing hotels erected in Scottsb!uff,
Kearney, Grand Island, Ogallala and
other cities.

IS ST|NS0N, DOPE
PEDDLERS' KING.
NOW A BICAMIST?.
Records Show That Alleged
Husband of Beatrice VIII
helm Has Not Divorced
His First Wife.

Is "Curley" Stinson, alleged king
Of dope peddlers, and who is under
Indictment to appear in the federal
district court to answer charges Of
violating the Harrison act, a biga-
mist?
On May 26 c. M. Stinson, negro,
aged 81, was united in marriage to
Beatrice Wilhelm, white, aged 10,
by Justice c. E. Bird, in the base
ment of the court house at Council
Bluffs.
According to facts brought out in
an investigation, c. NJ. Stinson ap-
pears to be Marion, or "Curley"
Stinson, and the woman he married
is MRS. Ruth Clarke" right name,
Beatrice Wilhelm, and the woman
whose sensational revelations re-
garding the dope ring in Omaha is
stiff fresh in the mind of the public.
Guilty of Bigamy9
According to the records it would
appear that Stinson is guilty of the
crime of bigamy.
On January u, 1919, by his at
torney, H. H. Claiborne, Stinson
filed suit for divorce from his wife,
Josephine Stinson. He stated that
the woman was living in Lincoln,
and the return on the summons in
the suit shows that no service was
obtained as court officers could not
locate the defendant.
The records also show that there
has been no service by publication.
Miscegeation Forbidden.
According to the miscegenation
laws of the state of Nebraska it is
unlawful for a person more than
one-fourth negro blood to wed a
white person. Stinson and Mrs.
Wilhelm went to Council Bluffs
where they had the ceremony per-
formed. Iowa being one of the few
states of the union without misce-
genation laws. The ceremony was an
unlawful one, in the opinion of at
torneys, for, the reason that no d.
vorce decree was granted Stiuson in
the Douglas county district court,
where his suit against Josephine
Stinson is still pending and he is
still bound to her.
Mrs. Wilhelm is said to have been
once married and it is said that her

Mcmillan Asks That He
Be Correctly Quoted

]. +. Mcmillan. chairman of the
executive committee of the street
car employees, speaking before the
Central Labor union last night
asked that a statement in which he
was misquoted by another daily
paper be corrected. He was quoted
in that paper as saying he favored
a 6-cent street car fare. Mcmillan
said he made no such statement.
But what he did say was that IF
the street car company would show
by its books and thereby prove
that a Scent fare is not adequate
to make the company fair returns,
l believe not only the employees,
but the public, would favor 6-cent
fare. But If they won't show their
books l would take it for granted
that the company did not have
grounds for asking for an increase.

where he hung up a mark of 4-5 seconds for the 1O0-yard dash.
 In the ring. he is recognized comedian. That is to say, his antics are those of the trained laugh pro ducer. He's a card that is worth s2 of any mans money alone.
 In addition to all of these things. he packs a kick that is real kick, ac- cording to those who know. And this calls to mind a recent happening at Vernon.
 Pascoe was pitted against another dusky middleweight and they were travelling along at a pretty rapid pace when he, Pascoe, let fly one of his hay makers.
 "Yo all knows that Ter black boy didn't even wobble. I jes' couldn't un- derstan' it. das all, so I had to go around back and see whot all was holdin' him up' That was the way Pascoe looked at the incident through his own eyes. Before the end of the bout however, he did land one that sent his opponent. to the mat
 Another interesting story is told about Pascoe His manager, Who is more manager than anything else, took Pascoe to one side before the start of the bout and said. NOW look here. You just wait for this boy Let him carry the fight to you and when he cracks you good one and thinks he has got you licked, then you just step in and finish him." Pretty good ad vice, alright, but here is what hap | pened. according to Pascoe:
 "I was takin my time. all right waitin' for this here baby to crack me We'll I waited and waited and finally | he did crack me, right in the mid sec tion and dere sure wasn't no use in startin den. l done waited too long.

Brown and Monroe Engage in Lively Sparring Exhibi- tion-Mexican Shows the Good Effects of Week s Vacation on Beach = Is Ready for Hard Go.

If Tony Pascales, local Greek, has ever had aspirations to attain fame as a boxer, they went the kaiser route yesterday afternoon when he endeav- ored to make it interesting for Tommy O'Brien, lightweight.
 It all happened in the third round of the training exhibition. OBrien had been going rather easy, content to let his heavier but less experienced part ner do most of the work with the gloves OBrien remained on the de- fense during practically all of this time, seldomly opening up.
 loS seIBosBd 'I9A9Moq 'pI!ql aql uI rough and landed few hard blows, or rather attempted to land them, O'Brien cleverly ducking or sidestepping the leads He finally determined that 1t was time to gall a halt, however, and sent a short left jolt to the Greeks jaw. The blow merely served the purpose of slowing up his partner and time was called a few seconds later.
 O'Brien showed a world of speed Tn his work yesterday. going through his paces In the gymnasium like lightning and never resting from the time. he started until he finished, his work last ing more than 30 minutes.
 Young Brown likely showed class in his work yesterday evening. He ap- pears to have improved wonderfully since his first visit here nearly two weeks ago, although the average far would hardly believe that such 8 change were possible in an athlete 1T such short time.
 After his bout with Houck here | Brown went to the beach. where he | completely relaxed from his efforts i The rest worked wonders with him l In addition to adding a couple o pounds of good, solid weight he ap pears much fresher than on his frs visit
 His training work reflects the valu of this rest, too For nearly six months now, Brown has been performing reg ularly With hardly days rest betweel matches, this up to his meeting witt Houck July 25. After that, his brothe persuaded him to forget the boxinj game for a period of eight days
 Frankie Monroe, featherweight boxe with a good reputation on the coast is putting Brown through his pace here and when the two meet, boxin fans are afforded an opportunity t see a real. first class exhibition. There nothing slow about either of these boys Monroe is far the cleverer of the tw and is consequently able to keep ou of Browns way most Of the time, bu the Mexican keeps after Frankie an sends many a hard jolt home.

NOW THE CONCRETE.
 CAR ON RAILROADS

Much conjecture with regard to the success of re-enforced concrete ships was heard before the United States government took to them and proved to "doubting Thomases" that they were practical. However. it is thought that a new use for concrete has been found in the construction of re-enforced con- crete railway cars.
 On exhibition in the Pennsylvania railway yard is one of the critters" The railroad administration has been experimenting with it and it has an- nounced through its engineers that it regards the car as practical and effi- cient. The bureau of standards is now to take up the experiment and try the car out for it's resiliency.
 The car has been subjected to every possible abuse except dynamite dur ing the experimental period by the rail- road administration. To try it's mettle a clam shell bucket weighing 4,400 pounds was dropped into it five times from a height of 20 feet.
 Attempts were made to smash it in wrecks, and except for slight damage done to one end of the car 1t came out unscratched. Steel cars in one of the wrecks were so badly damaged that they had to be scrapped.
 The weight of the car is 53,6000 pounds and it's size is about that of the ordinary railroad gondola freight car. Steel cars of the same size weigh 46.000 pounds. The concrete car can be built for s700 less than the steel car and can be produced in greater quantities. It is regarded as being peculiarly adapted for hauling coal. the sulphuric acid in the coal in no way corroding the concrete as it rusts the bottoms of the steel cars.

NEGRO RUNNER BOXER |S HERE FUR MATCH WITH LOCAL ARTIST

Introducing Johnny Pascoe, erst- W nile sprinter and middle weight boxer of Los Angeles. who is scheduled to go six rounds against Ira O'Neill in the semi final event of the Friday night boxing card in Ar cadia hall.
 Pasco is the dusky middleweight champion of California. And some boy is he. too. He's one of those pe- culiar birds who fights with his mouth as well as his hands.
 Its a great little habit with Johnny to carry on a talkfest while engaged in the manly art. the purpose being to confuse his opponent that the fistic work will be easy. Maybe we're tip- ping his hand but all is fair in love and war.
 This Pasco- O'Neill bout. the semi final event of the three -card program. gives promise of being every bit as in teresting as the main event. In the first place, both principals are mighty good boys, Pascoe being recognized as the best middleweight in Los Angeles.
 Pascoe is not only a boxer but a sprinter of national reputation. He formerly attended Whittier college,
