Under the new schedule No. 104 will leave Omaha at S:10 a. m., in-, stead of 7:43 a. m., and will run 25 J minutes behind its present schedule) for the entire trip, reaching Kansas ( City at 3:25 p. m., instead of 3 pAm. j Returning, No. 105 will leave Kansas City at 11:45 p. m.. instead of 11:35 p. m., but will reach Omaha at 7:15 a. m., the same as at present.

Promise of automobile manufacturers to pass on to buyers thru lower priced cars full benefits of the removal of the $10, 000.000 annual federal tax levied against this industry was pledged to day to the house ways and means committee. Urging repeal of the levies against passenger automobiles, as well as those on trucks, tires, ac cessories, the national automobile chamber of commerce reported it had signed pledge of every manufacturer that if the tax was repealed it would be entirely from the buyers' purchase bill. Lower priced cigars and theater tickets also were promised by re presentatives of these industries if the federal tax on cigars and ad missions were reduced. Reduction in all of these levies were sought by the representatives of affected interests. No place for such cuts, however, was given in the $300,000,000 reduction program suggested to the committee by Sec retary Mellon, for repeal of the tax on automobile trucks, tires and ac cessories. Art Works Tax a Nuisance. Mr. Mellon estimated repeal tal that levy would take up $35,000,000 of the $50,000,000 he alloted in his program to the reduction of mis cellaneous taxes. The remainder should be devoted, he thought, to wiping out taxes which yielded but small returns and were a nuisance to collect, such as those on art works. As to the admissions levy, however, he believed that should be retained since it applied on tickets selling for more than 50 cents. In a statement presenting the po sition of the tobacco merchants as sociation of the United States in favor of a cut in the tobacco case, Charles Duskind of New York, de clared this would permit sale of ci gars at lower prices. A reduction of $2 per 1,000 on 5 cent cigars, $3 on the two for 15 cent cigars, and $4.50 on the 10-cent grade was proposed. Collections from tobacco levies next year are estimated by the treasury at $360,000,000 forming the greatest revenue-producing among the miscellaneous taxes. Saving May Not Be Great. Questioning representatives of the automobile industry as to how much of a saving actually would be given buyers if the federal levy were re pealed, Representative Treadway, re publican, Massachusetts, inquired if it would mean actual cuts in the ad vertised prices of cars or just elimin ation of the tax added to these prices. It was admitted that only added tax to the regular price would be drop ped. Protesting against continued tax easy to collect," George C. Graham, Cleveland, representing the nation al automobile chamber of commerce, disputed the theory of Secretary Mellon that this levy should be re tained because of the federal aid in road building. Automobiles, he said, already paid their way on the road3 in numerous state and municipal levies. "We think the consumer should not bo penalized," Mr. Graham said, "and I have letters from, the motor vehicle manufacturers from the in dividual companies, pledging to low er the delivery cost of the motor vehicle to the boyer to the full ex tent of the relief as soon as these taxes are repealed." Oscar Brown, Syracuse, N. Y., speaking for the American automobile association, also assailed the stand of the treasury for retention of the passenger levy. Recalling that it wag the policy of the government to aid In road construction, many years before any federal tax was levied on vehicles, he urged repeal of all auto and accessory levies, which he de scribed as war emergency taxes. Ancient Prison Comes to Light at Richmond Richmond Diggers Unearth Dungeons Fifteen, Feet Under ground Richmond, Va., Relics that bear testimony to the existance of a sub terranean prison have been unearthed here. Excavators working at Twen ty-second and Cary Streets came upon the corridor into which a row of three dungeons opened. . Massive iron gates and windows came Into the picture as the excavat ors piled pick and shovels. The metal fixtures of the prison had been bur ied probably 200 years, later research Into the history of the place disclos ed, yet much of It was in a fairly good state of preservation. The fastening of gates and windows gave way as the earth about them was loosened by the diggers, .and they were easily removed. The col lection of relics unearthed included various pieces of metal which could not be identified as to the uses they of crosswork iron pattern now in use but notable for their thickness. The cell doors are of the same ponderous design Samuel P. Waddill who has heen clerk of the Henrico Circuit Court sin ce It was established and prior to that timewas employed at the Court House for many, years, viewed the subter ranean dungeons with keen interest. Mr. Waddill said that during his service of half a century at the Court House he had never come upon record giving any intimation of the exist ence of the underground chambers. Archives of the county, he said, show that the original Court House and Jail were built in 1752. It is clearly apparent however, that the dungeons were constructed in the hillside many years earlier. MINORITY HOLDERS PROTEST MERGER News from all over Cass county in Daily and Semi-Weekly Journal Washington, Oct. 2S Minority stockholders of the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad who object to the Van Sweringen Nickel Plate merger pro ject practically concluded their case before the interstate commerce com mission Tuesday and gave way to a similar group of Hocking Valley stockholders. E. C Bailey, councel for the Hock ing Valley interests, called Dr. Lewis H. Haney, director of the beareau of business research of New York, to lay the foundation for a new chal lenge to the project. Dr. Haney calculated that he Hocking Valley stock, 80 per cent of which is owned by the Chesapeake & Ohio, should have been credited at $180 a share or its equivalent upon entering the merger. There was a stragetic value in the Hocking Valley system, he said in that it tied togeth er the other units of the merger the Nickel plate. Erie, Pere Marquet te and Chesapeake & Ohio systems.

Scores of thousands of wild horses, a nuisance on the range lands of the Pacific northwest, will be rounded up and rendered into fertilizer and soap fats at a newly constructed factory which will commence operations here in about a month. The new innovation is welcomed by Humane society officials, who have long been puzzling over the problem presented by these horses. The animals have been rapidly multiplying for years. They are in bred, small and worthless for most purposes. Thousands of tons of grass which could otherwise support val uable live stock is eaten from the ranges by these animals. The horses ran wild over the open ranges of eastern Oregon and Wash ington and parts of Idaho, Montana and Nevada. They eat the country bare in summer and many die off dur ing tfie winter. Their presence on the ranges is a menace to other live stock, a3 they are immune to several diseases that are fatal to domesticated animals. They constantly spread distemper, mange, glanders and similar disease:;. The process which will be used in the factory is a so-called dry render ing process that i3 said to be odor less Humane society officials estimate that there are hundreds of thousands of these wild horses on the range lands of the northwest at present.
