Dresher Brothers Cleaning

other Hour Daily Service
Starting Monday.

One hour, in the ordinary conduct
of affairs, does not make an over
whelming difference in results. \
But, when the Fuel Administra-
ton gives Dresher Brothers, the
Cleaners and Dyers, one more hour
daily at their vast Cleaning plant at
2211-2217 Farnam St., Omaha, the
difference in time allows for an
immense increase in product, for
Dreshers' one hundred workers will
produce just that much more per
day.
Fact is, Dresher Brothers start in
with almost normal service COM
mencing tomorrow morning. Send
in your clothes now knowing that
the Dresher people will ''get right
at the job" If you live out Of town
you will know that your shipments
will not be laying around this estab-
lishment for an indefinite period.
Promptness will again be in order.
Yes, indeed, there will be lot Of
Cleaning, Pressing, Dyeing, Alter

week and your job should be among
the rest. Dreshers pay parcel post
or express charges one way on all
out-of-town shipments.

CHARRED BODY Of
WOMAN FOUND IN
FURNACE F|REBQx
Could Not Have CraWled In
On Fire-BeIieved to Have
Been Victim of
Degenerate.

Deadwood, S. D.. Dec. 13.-(Spe.
cial)-A coroner's jury which inves-
tisated the death of MIS-. John Nemi,
an aged Lead woman. whose par
TALLY burned remains were found in
the hrebox Of the furnace in her
home, has returned a verdict to the
effect that she met death by violent
means at the hands of parties un-
known.
The verdict sustains those whose
theory is that Mrs. Nemi was MUIR
dered and her body placed in the
firebox of the furnace in the belief
that it would be entirely consumed.
When Mrs. Searle, married
daughter. discovered the body the
lower limbs and body to the hips
had been burned to a crisp and the
upper part charred so there was little
resemblance to human being.
Mrs. Nemi had no enemies and
there was no one who wished her
out of the way. The only theory is
that she was killed by some degen-
crate OF criminal instincts.
Those who scout the suicide the
DRY say it would have been phys
ica.ly impossible for Mrs. Nemi,
even if insane, to project herself into
tho firebox of the furnace feet first
upon the hot Goals and then care
fully close the door upon herself.
The daughter who found the body
testified that the door was closed
when she discovered the remains of
her mother.

The latest reported move, in con-

So far as the city council is con-

Mayor Smith, Commissioner IRE

People point out however, that
Mayor Smith has made a record

ment of the state supreme court or
Ger came word yesterday that Gov
ernor McKelvie will arrive in Lin

Gal.
The governor has been in the east
in conferences on the fuel situation
and republican politics, leaving a
request with state officials to allow

Just prior to his departure for

The order for an immediate in

with the attorney general, was is,
sued Friday by Chief Justice An
drew M. Morrissey of the supreme
court.
His action came as the result of
communication from District
Judge Redick of Omaha, in whose
court Kirk was sentenced to 20
years in the state penitentiary for
the crime Of murder, stating that
attention of the court had been d.
rected by the seven judges of the
Fourth district to persistent rumors
that the bandits release after serv-

The communication further stated
that rumors were likewise per-
sistent to the effect that certain
members of the bar of Lancaster
county, and perhaps other counties,
have been guilty Of unprofessional
conduct in connection with the pro-
curing of such release.
The members of the bar COM

in conjunction with Attorney Cen

what he characterized as Commit
tees of humiliation and Cancellation.
There will be no committee on
Cancellation over the remains we
inferred before the recess" said Mr..
Brandegee. THE treaty, so far as
its position here is concerned, is
dead, except the remains my be
withdrawn by the president II he
wants this defunct piece of paper
at the White House, all he has to
do is to send for it and we will give
it to him with pleasure. Then he
can transmit it here"
Underwood Starts Things.
Discussion of the treaty was
started by Senator Underwood, dur
ing debate on the railroad bill,
blocking progress on the latter for
about three hours.
Calling attention to press reports
that because peace is not established
American export trade is being in
jured and business and industrial
conditions remaining unsettled, SEN
ator Underwood declared the repub-
i:can majority was responsible tor
inaction on the treaty and urged
prompt ratification.
Senator Lodge declared that
President Wilson was "immovable"
in his position. for unreserved rati-
fcation. Only the president "can
resurrect" the treaty, he said, by
withdrawing and resubm:tting it to
the senate.
Senator Underwood suggested a
Cancellation committee" to negoti-
ate with the president. but this plan
Senator Lodge rejected. Senator
Hitchcock then suggested commit
ices of Cancellation representing the
republicans and democrats to work
out a compromise. Senator Lodge
replied that the president must act,
but reiterated his willingness to give
careful consideration to any propo-
sails made. -..
Exchanges Become Sharp
Exchanges between the leaders
had become sharp when Senator
Knox proposed that to secure a
status of peace with Germany the
senate adopt his plan rejected last
November to ratify the treaty un-
reservedly so far as peace tearms
are concerned but without action on
the league Of nations.
Senate. Underwood agreed to sup
port the plan so far as he personally
was concerned as the price of
peace.
Senator Knox then formally pro-
posed immediate consideration in
open executive, session of his resig
nation and Senator Hitchcock
promptly objected. Mr.. Knox imme-
diately asked similar action on the
to declare state of peace
with Germany and again Senator
Hitchcock objected.
In calling up the resolution for
declaration Of peace with Germany,
Senator Knox changed its form from
/ concurrent resolution as proposed
by Senator Lodge to a
Joint resolution. His ratification
resolution also was altered from its
original language as rejected during
The special session. AS presented to-
day it reads:
Resolved that the senate of the
States unreservedly advises
and consents to the ratification of
he treaty of Versailles insofar only
IS it provides for the creation of a
status of peace between the United
States and Germany"
The second resolution following
the form of the Lodge measure, pro-
posed that congress declare "that
peace exists between the United
States and Germany"
