Demands Refund Of
Fine Paid by Girl
Later Imprisoned

E. F. Moriarty, attorney, yester-
day made written demand upon the
city council, for the return of $50
paid by Mary Mccain, as fine in
police court, notwithstanding that
she was required to remain in the
City Detention Home until such
time as the health department re-
leased her.
Mr.. Moriarty contends that this
money is being wrongfully with
held from his client, and that the
city cannot legally fine a woman in
police court, keep her money, and
then commit her to the Detention
Home.
The council referred the matter
to the city legal department for all
opinion before replying to the claim.

READY SOON TO
SEND RADIOS TO
SOUTH AMERICA
Outfit at High School of Com
merce Develops Good
Operators.

The radio outfit Of the High
School OF Commerce is already in
use, and students will be able to re-
ceive and send news soon from
Arlington, Point Iowa. Sayville,
Key West, Tuckerton and various
other large wireless stations in the
United States and South America.
The students of late have been re-
ceiving news from stations not far
away from Omaha. ;
The radio instruction, under the
tutelage of Fl. f. Bennett of the
wireless department, is developing
some rare ability among the stu
dents. The buzzer practice, Mr.. Ben
nett declared, has resulted in in
creasing the speed of many of Me
boys up to about Is words minute.
More interest in this line of work
will be shown when reports can be
obtained from the different wireless
stations, in the United States and
South America. Ninety minutes
daily is being devoted to buzzer
practice. This work is done by the
students after school hours.
The more advanced pupils, Mr..
Bennett said, will be competent
wireless operators after l:ttle ex-
perience. This work will be taken
up with more interest when the new
High School of Commerce builds a
large place for this particular work.
The aerials extend from the Omaha
Van and Storage building, at Six
teenth and Leavenworth streets, to
the school building on Seventeenth
street
