what he evidently accepted as auda-
cious nonsense. But I took ad-
vantage of his absorption to muir
muir a worried question in the ear
of Alice Holcombe on the other
side of me.
DO you think we ought to get out
of here?"
I'VE can't" she responded prompt
ly, without attracting attention both
from Milly and the public, which
we don't want. You see, we've al
ready ordered, and the waiter will
be here in a minute or two with our
food. No, there's nothing to do but
to sit tight. There's one consola-
ton, her people are all with her.
With them all around her they can
repress her if she goes beyond
bounds. Just listen to her. That's
an old trick of hers, to worry the
life out of her husband and her
relatives until they take her to some
place of this kind-she loves gayety
of any sort-and then proceed to
let loose all the meanness that's in
her"
From the other table came the
confirmation of her words. Milly
Stockbridge's voice was raised
shrilly.
For heavens sake, Ken, don't
SLOUGH like that in your chair. I
should think you could manage to
sit up straight even if you can't
stand that way. You just do it on
purpose to annoy me-"

TA|L0RS STRIKE
TO ENFORCE
WAGE DEMANDS
Work in Practically All Estab-
Iishments at Standsti||; Ask
$50 a Week and Bet
ter Conditions.

After comforting for two DAYS,
more than 200 tailors have voted a
strike to enforce their demands.
Practically all work in every tailor
ing establishment is at a standstill as
the result of the action. The men
conferred all day Monday, first at
the Labor temple and in the evening
It the Swedish auditorium. They
were in session from 10 o'clock in
the morning to in the afternoon at
the Labor temple Tuesday.
The men demand a wage scale of
$50 a week, the elimination of all
piece work and improved working
conditions.
According to A. S. Glasman, in
ternational organizer for the tailors'
union, eight of the principal firms
affected have agreed to the demands
made by their employees. Many 9TH
err firms have made various pro-
posals to the union and the meet
ngs are being held to discuss them.

Policeman Prefers to
Resign Than Answer
Charge Before Council

Foster F. Burchard, policeman,
resigned rather than face charges
before the city council. The charges
had been set for hearing yesterday,
but the resignation disposed of the
matter as far as the city council was
concerned.
Commissioner Butler, however,
voiced his opposition to the council
ignoring charges because a police
man resigns.
II believe that a record of the evil
dence should be taken for use in flu
ture contingencies" he suggested.
Il know of a case OF a policeman
who resigned under these circum-
stances and later was reinstated."
Police Commissioner Ringer an
nounced that he would attach a
copy of the charges to Burchard's
personal record in the chiefs Office.

TWO men FINED
$1,000 EACH ON
LIQUOR CHARGES
Reiger Brothers Plead Guilty
to Violation of Reed Amend
ment; Others Are Un-
der indictment,

Federal Judge Woodrough yester-
day afternoon fined two men $1,000
each and another $50 and costs on a
charge of violating the Reed amend
ment.
At the last sitting of the federal
grand jury indictments were re-
turned against Oscar and Nathan
Reiger, wholesale liquor dealers of
Kansas City; Charles A. McFadden,
a Kansas City drayman; Aaron
Lowey, now in the Douglas county
Jail, and Leroy Pegeau, Howard
Goulding and Earl K. Buck, Omaha
men, out on bond.
Feeling that they were caught with
the goods on them, the Reiger
brothers appeared before Judge
Woodrough, acknowledged that they
sold liquor to come into Nebraska
and pleaded guilty to the charges
in the indictment. They were each
fined $1,000, which they paid.
AS mitigating circumstances,
Oscar Reiger pleaded that he was 20
years old, had been a soldier for Is
months and that he did not know
that it was a crime to sell liquor
that was ultimately to be transported
into a dry state.
Delivered Liquor.
McFadden, the drayman, through
his attorney, asserted that he hauled
the liquor from the store of the
Reiger brothers, taking it to a hotel,
where it was turned over to a port
err, who in turn, delivered it to
Lowey, the bootlegger, he bringing
it on to Omaha, where it is charged
that it was delivered to Pegeau and
Buck, the Omaha men.
McFadden was let off easy on &C
count of claiming that he did not
know that he was violating a law
and that he did not know that the
liquor was to have been shipped out
of Missouri.
The three Omaha men, it is un-
derstood by Attorney Allen. will
plead guilty to the charges in the in
dictment some day this week.
The indictment is said to be
faulty in this, that it fails to charge
that an offense against the govern
ment was committed by any of the
defendants.

bELATED PROBE
OF Drowning IS
ASKED BY SMITH
Week After Death Of Four
Children In RivervieW Park
Mayor Decides Investiga-
ton Necessary.

Following the publication in The
Bee that the city commissioners de-
voted their exclusive time and ener-
gy Monday to a tempestuous dis
cussion of the Leavenworth street
'repaving proposition, to the exclu-
sion of other important and press
ing matters, and ignoring the popu-
lar demand for an investigation of
the drowning of four school children
at Riverview park last Thursday,
Mayor Smith yesterday morning,
nearly week after the tragedy, .,f-
fered a resolution directing Com
missioner Falconer to make a COM
pfete report on the subject.
Severe and bitter criticism on the
part of the parents of the victims
nave been directed at the mayor and
Commissioners Falconer and Ring
er, who are charged with neglect
and indifference in connection with
the management of the park sys-
tenn and police department.
No Physicians Ready.
Mr.. Falconer is blamed for allow
ing the children to venture into IS
feet of water with leaky boats and
Mr.. Ringer is held responsible for
neglecting to have the pulmotor in
working condition. If the lung
motor had been in shape and city
physician had arrived promptly on
the scene, the life of one of the vic
tins at least could have been saved,
according to the opinion of those
who witnessed the catastrophe.
There was no physician at the
police station when the emergency
call was sent in. He arrived at the
park three quarters of an hour after
the call was received, it is said.
The dead bodies remained on the
bank of the pond without medical at
tention until the city physician ar
rived, while indignant spectators
denounced the seeming indifference
and neglect.
Preparing Report.
Mr.. Falconer declared he was pre-
pairing a report on the drowning.
The extent of Mr.. Ringers efforts
to explain his part in connection
with the tragedy has been to an
nounce that pulmotors were no
good.
Commenting outside Of the coun-
Gil on the Riverview affair, Mr.. Fall
coner stated that the boats were
leaky, but he did not believe they
were more leaky than the average
park boats. He added that the boats
were in the control of the conces-
sionaire of the park. He also be-
lleved that the elders who super
vised the outing last Thursday
should have exercised greater cau-
ton. He has already explained his
version of the pulmotor feature of
the case by stating that he does not
keep a pulmotor at Riverview park
until the swimming pool is opened
for the season.
The use of boats on the pond at
Riverview has been discontinued.
