Walker Held for Grand Jury.

Following the hearing of the testi-
mony of a number of witnesses the
jury reached a verdict holding Walker
for the action of the grand jury. All
the witnesses agreed that Walker.
riding a bicycle with motor attach
ment, was on his way along Pennsyl-
vania avenue to work and not saying
a word to persons in the several
crowds that had assembled.
When he reached a point q short
white men rushed at him. knocked
him off his wheel and one Of them,
said a witness, made swing at
him" Another witness told the jury
that one of the men kicked him in
the face and the condition of the
watchman's face showed the result of
the rough treatment he received.
Witnesses declared that two or three
other shots were fired, following the
shot Walker fired just after he arose
from the pavement, where he had
been knocked by the two white men.
The men who attacked him, accord
ing to witnesses, were in civilian dress
and not in uniform, making 1t clear
that Havlicek was not involved in the
aSSan1t

Self-Defense Is Claimed.

Walkers counsel did not 1ave him
make a statement to the jury. The
claim is that their client acted il
the defense of his own life Two un-
identified white men who discharged
their pistols during the disturbance
have not been found by the police,
and it is argued by friends of WaAD
ker that a bullet from one Of their
weapons may have killed the marine.
It is probable that application for
Walkers release on bond soon will
be made to one Of the justices of the
Supreme Court. of the District of
Columbia

POLICE COURT CASES
FEW AS RIOT ENDS
Condition of Docket Again
Normal-ConceaIed Weap-
on Trials Next Week.

After strenuous days of hearing
cases growing out of the rioting OF
the past week, Police Court resumed
normal condition today.
Instead of the crowds which over
flowed into the corridors during hear
ing of the riot cases, scarcely two
score persons were present, including
court officers. attorneys and prisoners.
Practically all of the disorderly or
riot cases have been disposed of in the
District branch of the Police Court.
while comparatively few of the de-
PENDANTS arrested in connection with
the race troubles have yet to be heard
by the court. Most Of the defendants
charged with carrying concealed
weapons demanded jury trials and
will not be heard before next Thurs
day noon.

FLYING SQUADRON
FINDS CITY QUIET
Inspector Grant Praises
LaW-Abiding Citizens for
Disorders Ending.
NOT ONE-SIDED AFFAIR
NOT 0NE-SIDED AFFAIR

Inspector Clifford L. Grant. chief of
night with his flying squadron. The
squadron motored to all sections and
failed to find any sign Of trouble.
Everywhere we went" said the in
spector this morning, 1--WE found al
most graveyard quiet. Not shot was
fired nor leaf stirred, and feel that
the trouble is over. save that an occa-
sional fight between one or two men
may take place.
TT really was remarkable to find
things so quiet in sections where
much trouble would naturally be ex-
| pected. Instead of the usual street
corner aggregations we found fami-
| lies seated on the lawns in front of
| their homes. the conditions presented
being more orderly than they proba-
bly, had appeared in many months"
l. Credit to Authorities.
Inspector Grant said he thought the
sudden termination of the riots was
due to police activity. presence of the
military forces and the excellent work
done by the Parents League. one of
the largest organizations of colored
citizens in this city. Members of the
league, he said, performed a splendid
service.
| Early in the evening. the inspector
stated, telephone call told of trou-
BILE about the upper end of 7th street.
| He hurried there with other members
| of the flying squadron and found
number of sailors on guard. There
was no trouble, however, and, 80 far
as he could ascertain, there was no
reason for the call.
! White and colored people mingled
on the sidewalk, some returning from
a ball game, but there was not the
| slightest indication of trouble. Base
ball fans, the inspector said, need not
remain away from the games because
| of fear of trouble.
Praises Citizens Loyalty.
Discussing the interest and work
done by the Parents League. Inspec-
tor Grant said he never for an in
slant doubted the loyalty of the law
they would do all they could to assist
in restoring order.
THE trouble was not a one-sided
affair" the inspector added. Some
OF the most serious situations were
brought about by white hoodlums
making attacks upon one or two col
ored persons. Following the affair
Saturday night, in which whites at
tackled colored people in South Wash
tington, many colored people got an
idea that the whites were going to
clean them up They did not want
to appear cowardly and banked them
selves in the second and eighth pre-
cincts to repel assaults.
In more than one instance of
sons were attacked before they fired

Mr.. Rosenblum, who is an occu-

Omaha daily bee., 1919-09-28

conditions in Omaha were identical
with those in other cities, and Until
several months ago when owners Of
apartment houses began to boost
their rents to the skies, it was
thought that the properties would
depreciate in value. As result Of
this condition it was estimated the
rent rates naturally would decrease
also.
Real estate men are accused Of or
ganizing a combine to prevent the
rent situation from being governed
by the natural course Of events.
Omaha landlords are accused of be-
ing extremely active in this direc-
ton.
Tenants Of the Strehlow apart
ments have estimated the monthly
income the proprietor will realize in
the event he collects his rentals at
the proposed rate as amounting to
$3.50. This is based on an average
of $50 month for each apartment,
when in fact, it is said, the four
