OF Mayor to Be Tried
Again First Of Week

George Davis will be placed on
trial in district court for the Sec
ond time Monday to answer the
charges of assault to murder and
assault with intent to do great bodi-
" injury to Mayor Smith the night
Of the court house riot.
AT Davis first trial three weeks
ago, the jury was unable to agree
after two nights and day of delib-
Grafton.
Davis defense was an alibi, six
persons testifying that he came
home about 8:l5 o'clock the night
OF &he riot and did rot leave the
house again until the next morning.
Since that trial, it is said, addi-,
tional evidence has been secured to
show that Davis did not go home
until after 10 o'clock that night
which was after the assault on the
mayor. 1t is said the taxicab driver
In whose car Davis went home will
testify that the hour was after 10
o'clock instead of about 8 o'clock
as Davis asserted in the first trial.
Davis is out under $14.500 bond.

BIG EXHIBIT OF
AMERICAN DYES.
ALL THIS week
Remarkable Growth of Indus
try In This Country Since
War to Be Shown In
Omaha.

Much interest will be centered,
it 10 expected, in the dyestuffs ex-
hibit of the National Aniline &
Chemical Co., which will be held
all this week on the fourth floor
OF the Brandeis department stores.
At the beginning of the war, this
country was practically dependent
upon Germany for its dyes, accord
ing to- DR.. L. J. Matos, who, assisted
by Dr.. c. H. Spaulding, is in charge
OF the exhibit here. Accordingly
the interests of several chemical
companies were incorporated to de-
velop the industry in America.
Remarkable Development.
Today there are II concerns en-
gagged in the manufacture of dyes
in this country. And from 325 to
$50 different dyes, OF quality equal
to those formerly imported, are
being manufactured. The industry
has been developed in period of
oo months to stage as far pro-
gressed as the 50-year-old industry
IN Germany.
The exhibit consists of great num-
bers OF display bottles containing
product samples of dyestuffs, also
a textile display showing the gem
cral facts regarding the relative
fastness of the domestic dyes in
comparison with the imported stuffs.
There has been considerable
commercial propaganda against
American dyes, for until the do
mestic industry was developed, Ger
many furnished four-fifths of the
dyestuffs in the world. This exhibit
is intended to counteract the effect
of such propaganda and to educate
the public to belief and confidence
in the adequacy of the American
products. The industry in this coun-
try represents a total investment
of $450,0O0,O00.
Viii Explain Details.
DIR. Matos, assisted by corps Of
technical experts, will be on hand
at the exhibit to explain to visitors
the interesting details concerning
the display, to relate the history
of the industry in this country, and
to answer all questions regarding
the dyestuffs.
Many women do not trust Amer
lean dyes" said DR.. Matos. "This
is BECAUSE the manufacturers at
tempted to excuse their mistakes
during the early part of the war
by announcing, We cannot guar
antee American dyes We will be
able to convince all visitors to our
exhibit of the efficiency of the ex-
perts who have developed this in
dustry and of the practicability and
quality of the dyes that are pro-
duced"
