A RTISHC designers such as Jenny,

fects by touches which distinguish their
creations from the average. In planning
gown it is the methods of applying the
decoration, or the materials used as trim
mings which make or mar the whole.
This season the iridescent trimming is
the favorite. The rays from myriads of
electric lights seem to be caught and re-
Elected back from the beaded and rides

gorgeously finish any evening gown.
The flouncing is In skirt and tunic

The newest evening dresses feature
bodices, panels and bands of these rides
cent materials in pastel standings that con-
trast or accentuate the shade Of the gown.
For the debutante nothing is newer or
more chic than the all silk fringe, either
plain, rope or knotted. The fringe is from

the dancing frock of the slender miss is

COUNCIL AFRAID
T0DEPEND UPON
P 0LICE FORCE
Ringer Insists Soldiers Be
Kept In This City Until
New Officers Are Drilled
Into Condition.

Members of the city council dem
onstrated their lack of confidence in
the Omaha police department yes
terday when they voted the sol
diers should not be removed from
the city, for fear the police again
would prove unequal to the occasion
In the event Of future disorders.
This action was taken following
the receipt Of a telephone message
from General Wood in Chicago to
Acting Mayor IRE making inquiry
as to the conditions now prevailing
here.
Wood Makes Request.
General Wood wanted to know if
the troops from out Of the city
could be removed without yendanger-
ing the quiet. Immediately Mr..
IRE called an informal meeting Of
the city commissioners, and it was
decided the troops should be kept
here "for the time being"
General Wood was notified to this
effect. .
More than any other member Of
the commission, Mr.. Ringer was in
sistent the troops should not be re-
moved. He offered as an expiana-
ton that the new policemen ap-
pointed to the force have not yet
been drilled sufficiently, and until
they were more experienced it
would be dangerous to allow the
soldiers to be taken away.
Says City Quiet.
Commissioner Falconer declared
the troops should not be permitted
to patrol the streets any longer.
"Ths city now is quiet" he said,
rand I see no need for the United
States soldiers guarding our streets
any longer"
The commission held, however,
he police force under Its present
management was unable to handle
the situation.>

He also travelled in Italy, Switzer-

Agnes Loebeck, the daughter OF
religious parents, whose reputation
always has been without blemish,
and whose life was ruined by the
negro who paid the penalty to the
mob, is being sacrificed on a po-
litical altar erected by the support
ers Of the city administration.
Despite the fact that the inyesti-
cation made by Deputy Sheriffs
Patrick Welch and Harry Nc
Donald showing that Miss Loebeck
was not only a good girl, but a
devout Christian, the report is be-
ing circulated that the victim pre-
viously was acquainted with the ne
gro who assaulted her.
An effort is being made to show
there was an affair between the ne
gro brute and the innocent girl.
The evil design first came to
light when Sheriff Mike Clark was
asked several days ago to send his
deputies, WEIGH and Mcdonald. to
Elmer Thomas, to be questioned
as the result of their investigation
of the unfortunate girls reputation.

he had heard such a story. He
said he had. heard it from Deputy

Cowardly Falsehood.
Sheriff Mike Clark branded the
statement as an outrageous and
.cowardly falsehood.
Deputy WEIGH said:

to Miss Loebeck's reputation. I do
not know Mr.. 'Wead and cannot re-

assaulted her, is an unadulterated
liar"
Wanted Affidavit.
A negro man several days ago
called on woman living in the
vicinity of South Eleventh and
Mason streets. known by the police
as keeper of one of the most no
torious dives ia Omaha, and at
tempted to get her to swear to a
statement that Miss Loebeck had
met the negro, Will Brown, at her
house.
The woman refused absolutely to
be persuaded to make the statement
sought by the man. 49,
Though Brown formerly roomed
at this house, the woman declared
she had never seen or heard of Miss
Loebeck until after the girl was
assaulted.
