IKE NEW, 71, for years known in this city as the friend of unfortunate boys, died at his home, 722 Willow Avenue at 11:45 a.m. Friday. Mr. New had remained bedridden for the greater part of nine months after suffering failing in health close to a year ago. Death came quietly while members of his family were at the home.

The body was removed to Cutler's Funeral Home, where it was announced that funeral services will be conducted Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the residence. Rev. J.R. Perkins will have charge of the services. Burial will be in Oak Hill Cemetery.

Surviving Mr. New are: his widow, two daughters, Mrs. Julius Rosenfeld of this city and Mrs. Milton Livingston of Omaha and one son, Lester New of New York City.

Because of his untiring work among unfortunate boys in this city during the years when he enjoyed good health Mr. New became known to juvenile court attaches as one of the best friends that under privileged boys could have. He frequently attended juvenile court and is known to have been instrumental not only in materially assisting juveniles whose home life was not of the best, but in helping them secure an education and in finding the proper walks in life.

He formerly represented a clothing manufacturing house. Mr. New was a member of the Shrine, the Elks Club and Temple Israel Church, Omaha. He was for years a member of the board of trustees of the Council Bluffs library.
