On his way to Washington to take part in the tariff debates. Senator Hiram Johnson passed through Chicago Friday. He is interested in such items as olives, oranges, lemons, almonds, onions and even garlic. The senator said he was not losing sight, either, of the situ ation concerning the world court and the League of Nations. He declared that some of those intent on getting the United States in are now hiding. New York Col. Charles A. Lind w uergn announced that Monday he and Mrs. Lindbergh would leave Roosevelt Held Wednesday morning ior Miami, Fla., whence they will Bet out next Friday on a 7,000 mile air trip which will carry them over 16 American countries in 21 days. As technical adviser of Pan-Amer ican Airways, he will make the trio to inaugurate mail service between the United StateB and Dutch Guiana ana passenger service connecting nineteen countries with the United States. Colonel Lindbergh said he ex pected to arrive at Miami on Thursday. uesiaes colonel Lindbergh, the crew of the plane will include CharleB Lorber, mechanic, and W. w. Ehmer, radio operator, who plans to make at intervals of 30 minutes entries in a radio log to be kept in Miami. In addition the plane will carry as many passengers as the quantity of mail aboard will safely permit. The party plans to pay its re spects to the governments of the var ious countries in which stops will be made. PUBLIC TO BE ENLIGHTENED London The morning papers say Prime Minister MacDonald now is about to take the British public into his confidence on the naval negotia tions with the United States, and will issue an authoriative statement. The Daily News learns this is to be done thru an informal talk with newspapermen at Downing street. Such an interview between the prem ier and the press men would be an innoviation in England. Hitherto the British government has kept silent regarding the ne gotiations and virtually all news pub- nsnea nere has come from the Unit ed States. Jnst a few of the Cass county maps left.

The university coliseum became a factory Tuesday for fully-photographed students. But fast as the whole faculty worked, it was not fast enough to keep up with the press of applicants. By 9:30 o'clock, the big front doors were all swung shut and late arrivals learned they would have to wait un til Wednesday. Scores kept vigil, however, on the off-chance that they might gain admittance. Those allowed inside were shunt ed up to the balcony where they waited their turn to get down on the work floor." Revise Schedule. That expanse, large enough for a half dozen basketball games at once, was divided by posts and ropes and screen fences into various compart ments. The registrants, if new stu dents, first obtained transcripts of their credit hours and then passed on to some division reserved for their particular college. Faculty advisers took them in hand and helped them make out class schedules. But at the next stopping place an assignment committee in formed them that because of crowd ed classes or other conditions, part of the careflully prepared time table would have to be revised. "Dressed In." On the huge coliseum stage, guard ed from unwanted intrusion by gate- men, the registered students forked over their fees. Then they went to the basement, if they happened to be freshmen, and were "mugged." These photographs, an innovation last yar, are used in Identification sards fur nished each student. Students- .were passing out of a rear entrance all day with the regu larity of cars out of an assembly plant. But what the total registra tion would be, authorities could not guess. Advance information is that it will be 300 larger than last year. This margin is so small, however, in relation to 6,000 students, that no reliable estimate will be available until figures are checked. Omaha Bee-News. REVERENCE TO CHUNG WAH Boston Amid the clashing of giant cymbals and the overhead roar of elevated trains, descendants of the ancient Chinese Emperor Chung'Wali began strange oriental rites Sunday to honor their illustrious ancestor. Chung Wan was a great man. Thru- out the country's Chinatowns 25, 000 men, women and children claim his blood in their veins and 2,000 of the family, from cities as far west as San Francisco, have gathered here to reverence him. Leaders of the Gee How Oak Tin association, official gov erning body, say it is the oldest Chi nese family in the world. Wierd din and clamor from strange brass and wooden instruments, a dragon dance, sputtering firecrack ers and high pitched oriental voices, and a parade thru winding streets be decked with highly colored banners, were heard and seen in quarters nor mally quiet, or made more silent by tong war strife. Winnebago Tribe Will File a Claim for 2i Millions Asserts They Were Driven from Their Land Following Sioux Massacre DEMO COMMITTEEMAN, ILL, RESIGNS DUTIES Hartford, Conn., Sept. 13. Thomas J. Spellacy, democratic national com mitteeman from Connecticut, Friday offered his resignation to State Chair man James J. Walsh because of poor health. Read the Journal Want Ads. Washington, D. C, Sept. 17. A claim approximating $2,500,000 by the Winnebago Indiana will be laid before the United States court of claims. Ralph H. Case, attorney who has just been designated to handle the claim, said today he will leave shortly for Tomah, Wis., time-hon ored camping ground of the tribe, to gather additional evidence from the oldest members. He will file the peti tion immediately, he eaid. The claim rests chiefly on the as sertion of the Winnebagoes that they were driven from their land in 1863 following the Sioux massacre in Min nesota, although they had nothing to do with the massacre. The Winne bagoes. who had been more than two hundred miles away from the scene, were moved to a new Winnebago agency in Nebraska, south of Sioux City, la. This, they hold, constituted confiscation of their property. Fve years after the tribe was transferred to Nebraska, according to the petition, a group of the In dians yearning for the camping ground they had occupied as far back as records go, journeyed by water to the old home land in Wisconsin. Case said the claim would be chief ly for the property in the original Wisconsin reservation, but would in clude also a sum to cover improve ments they had made in their farms. The tribe in Wisconsin and Ne braska numbers about two thousand. The petition will state that the In dians lived until 1912 without as sistance of any kind from the gov ernment.

SINCLAIR DENIED A PAED0N Washington The Washington Star will say Sunday that Harry Sinclair, oil magnate, and his as sistant, H. Mason Day, have had their petitions for pardons disapprov ed by Attorney General Mitchell and must finish their sentences in the district jail. Sinclair was not incapacitated from his duty as jail pharmacist by reason of 111 health," the Star will say, adding that in addition to this plea Sinclair's petition asserted fhat the affairs of stockholders of his companies were likely to suffer if he was forced longer to remain from active direction. The story adds: "While United States Attorney Leo S. Rover and District Supreme Court Jutices Gordon and Siddons, to whom the petition was referred by the de partment of justice, have declined to comment on their recommenda tions it is understood that two of them were favorably inclined toward the pardon." and events. They are the George Ro gers Clark stamp, the Thomas A. Edison, the Sullivan expedition, the Ohio river canalization and the Gen. Anthony Wayne stamp to commem orate the 135th anniversary of the battle of Fallen Timbers, which re sulted in peace with the Indians and put America in a position to advance westward. To be recognized with a special stamp an event must have national significance or at least have received an appropriation from congress. The number of stamps issued de pends on the popularity of the sub ject and the estimated demand. The largest issue ever put out was the 2-cent stamp of the Columbian series, of which 1.4 6 4.5S8.750 wrr printed. The largest denomination was the $5 stamp of this same is.ue.
