JAPAN TO USE
 BIG QUANTITY
 OFOURCOTTON

GALVESTON, Texas, Oct. IA (by Associated Press) Japan will use one million bales of American cotton this year, and Oriental shippers will route as much of this as possible through the port of Galveston, ac- cording to K. Fujita, president of the Texas Gosbo Company who was here recently in company with H. Kita, a director of the parent company in Japan.
 Japanese shippers are dissatisfied with the manner in which cotton is handled through the Pacific coast ports, according to MT. Fujita, espe- cially through delays in booking and lack of facilities. Last year, he said, the Gosbo company routed 4,000 bales through Galveston and was we'll satis- fled with the promptness and facility with which the shipments were dis patched.
 "The United States Shipping Board" said MT. Fujita, 'is willing to furnish bottoms for cotton to the Orient, and probably will do so, but shippers are unable to do business with the board while it asks a rate of $2 on high density cotton from Galveston. l be- lieve some of the shipping to Japan during this season will be carried in British bottoms. In addition, Japa- nese shipping companies are plan- ming to put three or four steamers into the Galveston service.
 ''The Chinese and Indian cotton is inferior to the American staple, and Japanese mills are demanding not only a better but longer grade of cotton.

NENANA COAL MINES UNDER
 NEW OWNERS

NENANA, Oct. 15.-According to statement made here, new coal com pany has entered the field and will take over the Burns holdings on Liz nite and push the development of this property with all possible speed. The new company is called the Healey River Coal Corporation. It is headed by Gus Peterson and Thomas McKin- non of Fairbanks, as president and vice president respectively, and George Markus of Nenana is secretary and treasurer.
 No details in the change in man. agement have been made public. It is not known whether or not MT. Burns retains an interest in the new company.
 . It is stated, however, that the new operators intend to start work imme- diately. The first step to be taken by them will be to make the tunnels al ready driven into the coal vein safe for the men. A working shaft will also be sunk It is said that double drum hoist will be installed at an early date, and large pump put in. Substantial mine buildings and bunk houses will be constructed and the company will put in it's own plant for furnishing electric lights for these structures. The corporation, it is stated, will soon begin the erection of a screening plant by means of which it will eliminate the dust which has heretofore been a drawback in the use of this coal for fuel. The com pany intends to employ three shifts of men in it's operations from the very beginning of work.

for washing your flmy things
A Net

The cleansing of the filrny, cob webby things that come to our laundry in your family bundle the silken underwear, dainty shirtwaists and gossamer Geor- gettes and laces-has become a fine art with us.
 These articles of apparel, to which a scrubboard would be ruination, are never touched by awkward hands when we wash them.
 In lieu of the none-too-gentle practices of the laundresS, we employ a much safer method. We place these finer articles in special nets each according to its kind for washing by gentle sousing and rinsing.
 These nets are purse-like in shape in fact they closely re- sernble the common mesh purse. They are somewhat larger, how ever, and made of cloth instead of metal.
The Cordova daily times., 1919-10-15

Secure in these nets, the sheerest articles are cleansed without coming into contact with wash boards or the hands of workers. Pure soft water and suds of a mild white soap, weaving in and out through the meshes, give your things a freshness and beauty that make them as new. The care we use on garments and apparel of this kind is typi cal of that which we exercise in the washing of everything. No where is there any friction and rubbing, to wear out fabrics.
 Your clothes and the clothes of your family, will last longer if you will send them to us to be washed.
 If Monday is an ordeal, we have a simple relief. Just let us know and we will have our driver call flor your family bundle.

PACKERS REPLY
TO CHARGE MADE
BY SEN. KENYON
Carry Propaganda to People,
Who Will Ultimately
Decide Issue of
Meat Control.

| Chicago, Ill.,, July 2s.-(SpeciaI
Telegram 1.-The packing industry
replied today to Senator Kenyon's
assertion on the floor of the senate
that "the greatest propaganda that
ever had been undertaken in this
country is now in full swing with
reference to the bill for regulation OF
the packers" The reply was made by
the Institute of American Meat
Packers, comprising about 200 pack
ing firms. Thomas E. Wilson is
chairman of the committee which is
now directing the work Of the in
stitute. The statement says:
Senator Kenyon has charged in
the senate of the United States that
the packers are sending out propa-
ganda gainst this bill to place the
packing industry under federal Ii
cense, as if there were something
wrong in this. The entire public is
vitality interested in the correct So
luton of the high cost of living.
| Complete understanding of all
facts will dissipate suspicion and
prejudice which, if relied upon for
adverse legislation, will harm us all,
the livestock producers and the
| consumers as we'll as the packers.
In the last analysis the public will
decide those issues and to them we
will present the facts.
"The bill introduced by the sena-
tor threatens the life of the pack
ing industry. 1t is un-American and
is a dangerous precedent for all
business. 1t would amount to prac-
tical government operation, which
with this complex industry would
result in greater disaster than that
which we have with the government
operation of railroads and telegraph
and telephone lines. There is an
unprecedented propaganda in favor
of this legislation and against the
packers. The wholesale grocers and
the federal trade commission for ex
ample are active with propaganda
of this character.
1--WE are doing exactly what every
American citizen has a perfect right
to do. We are opposing this bill in
an open and legitimate manner and
will continue to do so. 1t is unthink-
able that persons whose investments
and business are threaened by radi-
cal and vicious legislation cannot lay
the facts before peoples.
The senator had something to
say on the high cost of living. Our
business is conducted efficiently and
at the minimum profit of a small
fraction of cent per pound. Our
volume enables us to retain such
small profit that it cannot materially
affect the cost to the consumer, The
packers would gladly welcome an
investigation by an unprejudiced,
competent and non-political body
into the whole food problem from
farm to table inclusive. 1t is un-
fortunate that such an examination
was not made by the federal trade
commission as directed by the presi-
dent"

Petty Attack On Reporter
Does Not, Mr.. Ringer, Screen
Crooks and Incompetents

upon released, and that while the
charge is made by a criminal, it is
corroborated by much circum-
stantial evidence. So far as l
know, this officer was not even
suspended pending investigation.
What have you done to enforce
the lay against bribe-taking in
this case?
The Detention Home.
"The abuses practiced in your
Detention home have been re-
peatedly brought to your notice,
but the doctor who was shaking
down the poor women of the
street for money to keep out of
that vile place is still connected
with your department.
II make only passing reference
to the outrageous Brown case.
Instead of suspending or dis
missing the culpable officers, you
are demanding the resignation of
patrol driver for telling the
truth about them. When the en-
cuse was made for this inexcusa-
bic outrage that the police always
arrest the owner or agent of a
raided house, a picture was print
ed of another raided house whose
owner has not yet been arrested,
presumably because he is your
friend and active supporter. If
you are so eager for law-enforce-
ment, why don't you do some
thing?
"Now, Mr.. Ringer, The Bee and
I supported you for the commits
sion in the belief that you meant
what you said about giving us an
efficient police administration, and
that you would be on the square.
For this support you came and
thanked me. Your letter to me
asking for information about
bootlegging-infor which
your retinue of police officers, de-
tectives and moral squad men are
paid to GETS the most naive ad-
mission of the woeful inefficiency
of your department that could be
furnished. l don't WOnQer tnat
you feel you are falling down in
enforcing the law against boot
Logging when the bootleggers are
so numerous and so brazen, and
when it can be proved that men,
bers of your own police depart
ment have been peddling booze.
What's the Use?
"But what's the use of giving
you further information until you
show some good faith by acting
on the facts you already possess
which | have enumerated? When
you do something to clean out the
crooks and incompetents from
your own department | will be
glad to back you up and go the
limit with you for law-enforce-
ment without favor or discriml-
nation"
People Are Waiting:
Mr.. Ringer, the people of Oma-
ha are still waiting for you to act.
What are you going to do about
it? Very truly yours,

COLE GRANTED
HABEAS CORPUS
WRIT BY COURT
New Hearing for Man Sen
fenced to Death
for Murder.

Lincoln, July 25.-(special.)- -
Alison B. Cole, convicted of the
murder of Mrs. Vogt in Howard
county, and sentenced to death, Is
being deprived of his liberty un.
lawfully, according to a writ OF
habeas corpus filed in the district
court of Lancaster county by his
attorney, J. M. Priest. which was
granted by Judge Stewart.
The writ alleges that Cole is
being "unlawfully deprived of his
liberty" because he was never tried
no witnesses ever examined and nc
evidence taken, as shown by the i'll
structions given by the court on its
own motion and as shown by the
verdict returned by the jury, but
that he was convicted and sentenced
on his own plea of guilty.
1t is set out that the court did
not examine witnesses as to the
circumstances concerning the COM
mission of the crime nor did it take
any evidence touching the mental
or physical condition of Cole at
the time of the murder.
A case of similar nature, now
before the supreme court. is that OF
Floyd Fuller of Omaha, who
pleaded guilty to the crime OF
murder charged in the second de-
gree and without further trial was
sentenced to imprisonment for life.
In that case Judge Stewart denied
the application and it was taken to
the higher court. Fuller has served
several years already and is a
"trustY" at the penitentiarY.

Omaha, July Is, 1919.

Omdnd, july %, Ivy.
Mr.. ]. D. Ringer,
Superintendent Department OF Po-
lice and Sanitation.
My Dear Sir:
The specially constituted de-
tenders Of your department have
undertaken to divert attention by
an attack on one of the reporters
employed by The Bee, presum-
ably in the hope Of creating a
smoke barrage to screen the
crooks and incompetents, who
have been making the police ad-
ministration travesty.
The question, however, is not
whether a Bee reporter was once
in Jail in another city. A lot of
good people have been in Jail and
a lot of bad people manage to keep
out of jail, who ought to BE- there.
The real question is, what are you
going to do to clean up the police
department of Omaha and stop the
lawless and brutal methods that
now prevail in it?
More than three weeks ago-or
to be more exact, July 2-you
wrote me a letter asking for in
formation about violations of the
liquor law to which l promptly
and respectfully replied. In my
letter / said:
Specific Information.
"You ask me for specific in
formation that will enable you to
get full data for the purpose OF
prosecuting those who are violat-
ing the law against bootlegging.
but you, for some reason I cannot
understand, show no disposition
to 60 after the violation of other
laws when specific information is
furnished you.
"You know. or should know,
that a travelling gang of skin
game gamblers, known as the Pat
terson shows, recently operated
in Omaha unmolested for three
days, that detail of ten of your
men under Sergeant Dillon, in
uniform and in plain clothes, per-
sonally superintended the robbery
on those grounds of little boys
and girls with lawless gambling
devices until they learned The Bee
was taking photographs, when
they merely ordered the law
breakers to stop.
"If this gambling carnival was
not unlawful, why did your police
close it9 If it was unlawful, why
did they make no arrests? If you
want testimony about this, l will
furnish it having myself been a
witness. If you are as eager for
law enforcement as you profess,
why have you taken no action as
to the officers who protected and
connived in this law breaking?
you further certainly know
that another member of your po-
lice department has been publicly
accused of releasing an automo-
bile thief whom he was sent to
bring back from Hastings, in con-
sideration of the payment of $l10
by the prisoner, who was there

Special Efforts Are
Made to Get Bandits
: Who Robbed Soldiers

Washington, July 2s.-Acting un-

authorities at Tampico are making
unusual efforts to capture the BAN
dts who, on July E, held up a boat
from the U. S. S. Cheyenne in the
Temesi river and robbed the crew.
This information was contained in
a radio message to the Navy depart
ment today from Commander E. P
Finney, senior American naval Of
fcer at Tampico.
The message said the Mexican
authorities had adopted a very con-
ciliatory attitude and that General
Gonzales, the military commander in
