CARS in OMAHA
Continued from Page One,

it nd we stayed in town till about
A-idnight and then we drove to Ne
braska City. Arrived there about
4 a. nj. We left tho car on the east
side Of the court house with the
cushions turned and then went to
the Frontier hotel l registered as
Jack O'Brien, Sioux City We
went to bed, About ~ o'clo.. in
the morning Katleman called at our
ROOM"
Then FOLLOWED long recital of
alleged movements of Neal, Katie
man, McKenna and Jones in Ne
braska City that day. The two
latter were trying to get the money
due them. Finally Neal gave them
S35, McKenna testified, and they
came back to Omaha.
He testified that in October Neal
and Katleman called at his mothers
home, 4l38 North Thirty-eighth
street, Omaha, called him out in
the yard and tried to induce him to
get more cars for them.
81 refused" said McKenna, DE
cause | figured they hadn't paid me
what was due for the other cars,
and if they treated me wrong on
that deal they'd get me in trouble
some other way"
McKenna and Jones were arrest
ed November 80, 1918, and released
on $l,500 bond. They were arrest
ed again on December 10 and placed
under $4,000 bond. Just how they
got out Of prison that time is a mys-
terry which the police have, so far,
declined to clear up.
Are Arrested Again.
They were arrested again, the
final time, on January 20 and placed
under $4,500 bond. They have been
in jail since that time.
McKenna is a musician, a cornet
player of high ability. Of slight
build, wearing glasses and with a
mild expression of countenance, he
does not look like an automobile
thief. Jones has no fixed abode.
McKenna's mother was in the
court room and brought him a bag
of good things to eat which he took
along to his cell.
RED" Neal, the man on trial, is
a young man, with red hair and
wears a large diamond ring. His
father is wealthy. .s.E
Carl Katleman, brother of Maui
rice Katleman, the other "higher-up"
accused under the complaint, is one |
of the attorneys for Neal.

Washington, March l0.--Nebraska
republicans in congress are to be
congratulated on their committee
assignments, the committee on com.
mittees today having assigned Con.
gresham Jefferis to Indian affairs
and expenditures in the War depart
ment; Evans, to good roads and war
claims, and Andrews to public

lures in the Treasury department,
thus cleaning up the state so far
as the Prairie state is concerned

judiciary and Kinkaid becoming
chairman of irrigation.
ta Sloan Gets Busy.
When it was found that Andrews
could not make ways and means,
which was his initial choice, and
Jefferis could not land on military
affairs, ex-Congrcssman Sloan, who
had the confidence of Mann Moore
of Pennsylvania and Dunn of New
York, took off his coat for the new
meucfrom his state and with the as
sistance of Kinksid succeeded in
getting the Nebraskans the very best
assignments possible in view of the
demands of two and three-term men
for the places which the new corners
from the Prairie state wanted.
In fact, every Nebraskan gets a
place on a major committee, which
is going some in view of the fact
that three Of them wandered off
the reservation insofar as the
speakership is concerned and not
one of them voted for the man who
has been the dominating factor In
the committee on committees, Mann
of Illinois.

Cannot Use Poison Gas
10 DESTROY Farm Pests

Washington, March l0.-Poison
gas developed in war cannot be used
TO clear American farms of insects
and rodent pests, Secretary Lane
has decided after investigation. Ex-
periments showed that while pests
were killed, there was danger Of the
gas spreading and destroying live
stock and persons living nearby, In
case the wind should carry the
fumes.
Suggestions had been made that
the deadly gases might prove Of
great value in destroying such pests
as the prairie dog, ground squirrel
and boil weevil.

Amendments Proposed
by Ex-President Taft
BY Associated Press.

Paris, March l0.-The amend
ments to the draft Of the League OF
Nations plan, which have been pro-
posed by William H. Taft, are re-
eeiying the close study of the vari-
Gus delegations to the peace con-

The understanding prevails that
the suggestions made by Mr.. Taft
might be adopted if assurances
could be had that the reopening Of
the whole subject will not be in
volved and that further amounts will
not be asked by other nations. 1t is
generally admitted in well-informed
circles, however, that some French
and Italian proposals are to be eX-
pected.

enough, he spied the fur and
crawled under to get it.
Alder bought a new suit today
