"First-elass Organization was the
first requisite" he said.

DR. Ward asserted. in response to a
question. I'm fact the church would
lose influence if it should neglect

Laymen Must Work.
Don't be appalled, by the great
magnitude Of the sum. The big
ger the task, the greater the SUE

do the work." he said, mot shift the
responsibility to the ministers"
Laymen who will give money
freely to the church but who oppose
their childreh's dedication to church
work were scored by Rev. G. F..
Ream of the life service department.
You must create an atmosphere
which will make it easy for young

Commissioner Defends Chief
Briggs and Says Practice Of
Signing Judges Name
is Common,

The stage is set in city council
for the hearing of Captain of De-
tectives John Briggs and Detective
l.. L. Wade this afternoon on
the charge of misconduct in office.
The case was postponed from last
Saturday because Briggs attorney
could not be present. Now Briggs
wants an immediate hearing,
There is a well-dehned opinion
that the object of those bringing
the men to trial is more than to
secure a conviction.
"The charge seems to be mere
bagatelle," Commissioner IRE said.
Signing the name of Police Judge
Britt to a warrant is technically a
forgery and bad practice perhaps,
but l don't consider it anything on
which men should be brought to a
hearing. 1t is we'll known that this
is common practice. If they had
to send out and find the police
judge every time they want to ar
rest someone it would be bungle-
some and defeat the ends OF justice.
Even when the police judge signs
a warrant he does so merely as a
matter Of form. He doesn't know
whether there is sufficient reason
for the arrest. II you're going to
call this forgery, then a man COM
mits forgery when he signs his
wife's name to receipt for a pack

AS an aftermath Of the trial and
discharge of Detective Danbaum
Omaha daily bee., 1919-02-13

there is a rumor at city hall that
"fve other detectives have been
tipped off to resign"
Commissioner Ringer said, there
is absolutely nothing to i"
Feeling among the policemen and
detectives is high over the trial by
which Detective Danbaum was sum-
marily dismissed after a majority of
the city council had declined to dis
miss him on the charges upon which
he was tried.
Admit It Illegal.
At least three of the commission
ers admit that this proceeding was
illegal and that Danbaum was rail
roaded" out. The law specifically
states that an officer cannot be dis
charged without the preferring of
charges and without being found
guilty after a hearing before the city
council. In the Danbaum case coun-
Gil declined to discharge him on the
charges on which he was tried. Mr..
Ringer then introduced a resolution
that he be dismissed for the good of
the service" and four commission
ers voted in favor of so doing,
The only legal proceeding, conf
m;ssioners say, would have been to
ask him to resign. If he declined,
then it would be necessary to file
new charges and try him on them.
Commissioner Zimman declined to
comment on conditions in the police
department except to say that he
thinks the department should be re-
organized for the good Of the service
and the proper police protection of
the city"
Il am ready to proceed with full
investigation of the department. l
am not in favor of removing Mr..
Ringer from the charge of the de-
partment at this time"
May Go to South Omaha.
That the charges against Captain
Briggs are to be quashed and that
he will be transferred TO South
Omaha without loss of rank was the
basis of well-founded rumor cir
culated yesterday.
The county attorney who was
expected to bring charges against
Briggs for the release of William
McKenna, star automobile thief,
without release papers of any sort
after bond had been fixed by
Judge Britt at $4,000, has not yet
finished his investigation.

east coast resorts at 1870 a week for
each person and it proposes to furnish
nurses and accommodations for chill
dren SO that mothers can have real
holiday
To accomplish this the association
rented a hotel at Felixtown and an
other at Southend and established a
tent camp at Herne Bay, equipping
them with such furniture as it was
ably to quickly obtain. All valuables
must be left at home and only old
clothes can be worn.
No charge is being made for chill
dren less than one year old and re-
duced prices are quoted for those less
than eight years. This permits fam
lily in ordinary circumstances to en-
joy the holiday season at much the
same price as prevailed before the
war.
Y. M. c. A. leaders are planning
to extend their vacation accommoda-
tions to other shore resorts and to use
for this purpose two military camps.

 In Arizona the Elks have taken full charge of the campaign, with Joe. V Prochaska as state chairman of the movement. Mir. Prochaska has ap- pointed Exalted Ruler Jack Wilson of Flagstaff as county chairman and he has selected the following committee of Elks from this county to assist him in the work: Dr. Thomas Manning, of Flagstaff; Ed. J. Johnson, of Will liams; Wm. Lockridge and Ellsworth Kolb, of Grand Canyon.
 Coconino county's quota for this big campaign is only $l LOGO, and there is little doubt in the minds of the com mittee but what there will be no diff ficulty in raising the amount for Sal vation Army use in caring for soldier boys coming home.

 Richard Morris, assistant steward o' the boat, leaped into the water and rescued the woman.
 The next day he received his first reward from J. s. Morton, one of the owners of the boat.
 About a year later he received a medal from the Carnegie hero medal fund, and yesterday he received a check for $1 ,000 from the same source.
 Recently he has been a moving pie ture operator at the Star Theater, in Evanston, and for a number of years was a life guard at the North Shore bathing beach at the foot of Wilson avenue.
 The award was given with but one provision-that he invest the money in property. He bought a home at 912 Grove Street, Evanston.
 "It certainly does pay to be hero" !" he said. That one moment when l debated whether to jump into the wa ter or not has influenced my whole life and made it more worth while. Next time I'll jump first and think afterward."

MANY STORES ACCUSED OF OVERCHARGING ON
 NEW LUXURIES TAX

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 14.-- Complaints have reached the internal revenue bureau that retailers are now charging more than the actual tax on so-called luxuries such as expensive clothing and other personal equipment
 Reports indicate that most cases of overcharging were caused by the fail ure of store clerks to acquaint them selves with the provisions of the law Officials issued a reminder that over- charging a tax may render the dealer or clerk liable to fine of $1 ,000 and a years imprisonment.
 In the case of the luxury taxes, it was emphasized that the tax is only in excess of cost of certain sum specified in the law, and not on the entire sale price.
 Beef tea, coffee, sandwiches, cake, ice cream in buckets and medical prep arations often sold at soda fountains are not taxable.

POLICE FIND ONLY THREE
 DICE GAMES IN N. Y. HUNT

NEW YORK, May 1.-Two hun dred and fifty detectives searched the sixteen police inspection districts on a recent Saturday night for gambling and vice resorts. Three dice games were the only objectionable artivities they found.
 Two of the raids were in Manhat- tan, the first being in house on Seventh avenue, near Forty-ninth street, where several crap shooters were arrested. Sixteen more were taken near Eighth avenue and One Hundred and Forty-third street.
 One man was shot accidentally by a policeman's revolver in a Brooklyn raid. The victim was Thomas di Adamo, 29 years old, of No. 90 Sack man street, Brooklyn. The police re- ported that he was shot in the back when Sergt. Joseph Smyth dropped his revolver and one cartridge ex- ploded.
 He was sent to St. Mary's Hospital. The police, at the time of the shooting, had just broken up a dice game at Sherlock place and Atlantic avenue.
