MYSTERY Wells
INVASION Of TWO
POLICE OFFICERS
One SIeuth SEXES Partly Clad
Wife While Other Searches
House In Husbands
Absence.

George Sturn, 622 North Seven
teenth street, was startled Friday
night by the screams of his wife,
and on investigation found she was
being held ~sy a police officer just
inside the front door of his home.
The officer released her when he
appeared and left without explana-
ton with another officer, who had
been searching their house.
Mrs. Sturn had been preparing for
bed when the two officers forced the
front door open. She rushed for
ward in her partly unelad condition,
she says, protesting at the invasion,
but one of the officers seized her
and dragged her into the front door,
while the other man went through
the house.
Seek Fugitive. They Say.
1--WE saw man we're after run
! into your house." one Of the men
| told her." and we're goin' to get
him"
Mr.. Sturn was in the back yard
when the men rushed into the house.
The officers left without even apollo
giving" he says. Mrs. Sturn is i'll
from the rude shock she was subject
ed to.
81 recently returned from the
west" said Mr.. Sturn, where it is
supposed to be rough, but l never
saw anything happen there that
could equal the actions of those po-
lice officers Friday night.
Says Men Were Brutal.
"They seemed to be instinctively
brutal. My wife's wrists are still
sore and chafed from the way the
officer held them. The other man
seemed to take a malicious delight
in overturning everything in the
house while he searched it.
when | left Omaha several years
ago it was at least reasonably safe
to stay at home. Now it seems the
police officers suspect every home of
hiding some criminal If there is
any law to punish those officers for
their invasion | am going to find
it out"

National League club owners con-
cluded their annual meeting here
Chairman Hermann, of the Ma
uonal Commission, stated that he
was willing to resign from that DO
sition, which he has held for several
years.
In brief speech the Cincinnati
club president said that he agreed
with many other members of bot h
major leagues that no man who. is a
club owner or is interested finan-
cially in baseball should hold such
a position in what is practically the
high court of baseball.
Thirty days hence" he said, 'if
conditions exist as they do to-day

Jack Coombs to Assist
in Managing Tigers

New York. Dec. 1l.-Jack Coombs
Will endeavor to help Hughey Jen-
niuSs lead the Detroit Tigers to the
American League pennant next sea-
son. The man who helped the Ath-
letics win American League flags and
world series honors and who never
got real chance with the Phnlies,
was signed yesterday by owner Frank
Navin, of the Detroit team. as assist
ant manager Of the Bengals.
Mr.. NaVin stated that he had look
ed the entire field OF baseball over in
ar effort to pick the one man who
would be of most aid to jennings and
decided that Coombs was the most
valuable man in the country for this
role.
Coombs' salary as assistant man.
ager of Detroit will be considera blv
more than he received as manager of
the Phillies.
Although Mr.. Navin selected
CcCmbs without the advice of any
body. baseball men here for the meet
inSs OF the American and National
League did not hesitate to express
their opinions that Coombs is one of
the brdiniest men in baseball and
would be a big help to any club that
would give him half d chance to use
that know ledge of the game which he
possesses.
