Over Highway No. 32.
Des Moines. Nov. 29. The Rock
I-la:nl railroad Friday filed applica
tion with the rtate board of rail
read commissioners for a certificate
to operate the first unit of a network
or motor busses out of Des Moines.
The company is the fourth steam rail
read to apply for motor passenger
bus certificate this year.
The line on whk'h the present cer
tificate is asked is between Des
Moines and Omaha over highway No.
?,2. It will parallel the railroad
route, but there will bc no curtail
ment of passenger service on the
..team line, ('. C. Gardner, assistant
general passenger ngrnt. said.
Certificates for other routes out of
Des Moines will be ark?d hiter, Gord
iH'v said. The b'is lire will be oper
ated by a su'os'u! i; ry comnnny. to be
known as the Rock Island Motor

for the construction of a sidetrack on
the Illinois Central railway to the
municipal light, heat and water

GAS TAKES FOUR LIVES
Chicago Illuminating gas from
an cpn but unlighted water heater
jet was held responsible Friday for
the death of four members oi the
Van Wie family, scarcely an hour
before they were to have enjoyed
their Thanksgiving meal. The dead,
their bodies discovered in the cot
tage the family had occupied since
moving from Salem, Wis., two weeks
ago. are Clayton Van Wie. thirty;
his wife. Mrs. Helen Van Wie, twen-ty-cne
and their children. Lila, three
years and Patricia, nine months.
The position of the bodies led po
lice to believe Van Wie had turned
on the gas heater preparatory to tak
ing a bath but that it failed to light
or was accidentally extinguished.
Van Wie was overcome in the bath
room and Patricia in the center ot
a clutter of toys on the kitchen floor.
Mrs. Van Wie had apparently sensed
the danger bult was unable to es
cape with the youngf-st child after
lifting her from the crib.

Business Re
vival in Tenth
Federal District
Increase During the Past Month in
Output of Industries Ocer That
of p. Yea? Aero.
Kansas City A business revival in
the tenth district is noted in the
monthly report issued Thursday by
the federal reserve bank of Kansas
City. October saw an increase in the
output of industries over last year,
the report stated, and a rising vol
ume of department store retail trade
Distributive sales of wholesale firms
were about the same as September,
but under those of a year ago.
A substantial impropement appear
ed, the review declared, in the agri
cultural outlook for the district. A
gain of twenty-eight million bushels
in the corn yield over the previous
estimate joined with a good yield
from other important crops, to indi
cate a larger and better balanced
farm production than first antici
pated. Whiile the general movement
of farm products into market chan
nels was moderately heavy during
the month, marketings of wheat and
most other small grains were in
smaller volume than in any previous
month since harvest time.
The fall movement of cattle and
sheep from pastures and ranges was
the heaviest of the year and exceeded
that of October last year. Shipments
of cattle and sheep from the corn
belt for winter feeding were in
greater numbers than in the same
month of 1929.
A near record was set in flour
production. The October output was
the largest for any month this year
and wtih the exceptio of October,
192S, the largest recorded for any
tenth month in southwestern milling
history. Sugar refineries in the ir
rigated areas were working on full
time in some instances with day and
night shifts, and the larger crop of
beets indicated that more sugar
would be turned out than during
1928.
Slaughter of all classes of animals
at the leading packing centers de
clined seasonably from September, al
tho the October slaughter of cattle
was larger and of sheep and hogs
smaller than a year ago.
While the volume of building con
tracts awarded in this district during
the month showed a marked reces
sion from the preceding month, there
was a sr.. all increase over October a
year ago. However, the value of
building permits issued in leading
cities declined sharply with the ap
proach of winter and was smaller
than of the same month last year.
Commercial loans at reporting
member banks continued to rise and
by Nov. 6 had attained a new high
record, while security loans fell and
were considerably below amounts
outstanding one year ago. Debts by
banks reflected a 7.7 per cent In
crease over the preceding five week
and 14 per cent over the corrspond
ing fiv weeks last year. The accumu
lated total for the year to Nov. 6 was
the greatest volume of money paid by
check for any period of forty-five
weeks. State Journal.
PIONEER WOMAN IS DEAD
Omaha Leader and last survivor
of a group of five newly married
couples. Mrs. Rosina Oswald, who
came to Cedar county, Nebraska,
from Wisconsin in 1867, died here at
the age of eighty-five.
The party braved the wilds and
perils of the old west and drove their
covered wagons and ox teams across
the unbroken trails to the present
site of Wynot, then St. James. The
little group of pioneers crossed the
Missouri river at Sioux City on flat
boats.
In Cedar county each family
bought all the land they wanted for
$1.25 an acre. The Oswalds secured
200 acres.
Indians were frequent visitors to
the Oswald home as it was situated
half way between the Omaha and
Winnebago reservations and the
Santee Sioux. Occasionally they ask
ed for food or lodging and Mrs. Os
wald once went so far as to let sev
eral sleep in her kitchen. Fascinated
by her kitchen utensils, her guests
asked to borrow a few pots and pans.
Mrs. Oswald knew that the utensils
never would be returned and re
fused. One of the braves drew his
tomahawk, seeking vengeance for the
denial. The woman knocked the
hatchet from his hand chased them
all out of her home, members of her
family relate.

OHIO LABOR TO BE HELPED
Cleveland, O.. Nov. 28. Northern
Ohio labor will benefit by the expen
diture of approximately 200.000,000
during 1930. Industrialists and pub
lic officials from twenty-nine coun
ties responded to President Hoover's
plea for private and public construc-
ioa Wednesday with promises that
this vast sum would be poured into a
great program of improvement.
Gathered in Cleveland in response
to the suggestion of E. J. Kulas,
president of the Otis Steel company
here, who attended Hoover's Indus
trial conferenco in Washington, the
gu'diag spirits of the industrial and
public life of more than fifty cities
and twenty-nine counties of this area
sunbmitted plans for 1930 which will
call for the employment of thousands
of workmen in all phases of labor.
Kulas struck the keynote of the
meeting with the definite assertion
that industry in Ohio will strike the
peak of production In January. The
trend will start upward, he said,
about December 15th.

State Depart
ment Pushing
Road Graveling
Anxious to Get Gravel Back on the
K-T from End of New Paving
on Into Town at Once
from Saturday's rallv
Yesterday F. II. Kleitsch of the
state department of public works was
here to look over the local road situa
tion near this city and to urge the
rapid completion of the necessary
smoothing up and graveling of high
way No. 75 from the end of the new
paving near the Perry farm south of
this city, into Plattsmouth, as the de
nartment has decided to give this
road a surfacing for the winter and
until the opening of spring will per
mit traveling over the new paving
from the south on into this city.
The road was torn up with expec
tation of completing the concrete rib
bon on into Plattsmouth this fall, but
bad weather held the paving crew
up for days at a time and later cold
weather set in and stopped operations
entirely.
Now the work of regraveling this
torn up stretch of some three miles
will be hurried along as rapidly as
possible whenever the weather will
permit any work to be done, and as
soon as it is in shape to accommodate
the traffic will relieve a very unfor
tunate situation that has existed for
seme time in this section, practically
shutting off the territory to the
south in bad weather.
The residents in that territory
have felt very much the torn up con
dition of the roads and the long de
tour that has been necessary, but
with the new graveling and smooth
ing up of the road it is hoped to im
prove in part at least, the bad traffic
conditions that have existed here for
several months while the paving has
been in progress.
The side roads that feed into the
main highway are in many places
still very bad and a few weeks of
moderating weather would allow the
work to be done on these roads as
well.
The state, however, is confining
its work to the state and federal aid
roads which are under the depart
ment of public works' care, and the
county, with the aid of precinct over
seers, is having to cope with the side
roads.
Reports from persons traveling
into the city today are to the effect
that the east and west roads are be
ing cleared up nicely from the re
cent snowfall and are getting in much
better shape for travel although the
rains of a weok ago have left them
deeply rutted, a condition which is
difficult to remedy until the roads
soften up some, c.s the ground is now
frozen and very hard to work.

Murray's Aide
in Dmibar Bank
FacinCharges
State Accuses Westbrook of Accept
ing: Deposits when Insolvency
of Institution Known.
Dunbar, Neb., Nov. 29. Accused
of accepting deposits in a bank he
knew to be insolvent, Henry S. West-
brook, former vice president of the
Dunbar State bank, wrecked by
Thomas Murray, its president, was
arrested here this afternoon.
The arrest recalls the internation
al pursuit of Murray, after his dis
appearance and the subsequent clos
ing of the bank, which finally ended
n the Pacific northwest. Murray was
brought back to Ctoe county, tried
for forgery, convicted and sentenced
to five years or more in the peniten
tiary. West brook was arrested about 3
m. by Sheriff Carl Ryder, and was
taken immediately to the county
seat for arraignment before County
Judge J. M. Dierks. He pleaded not
guilty, and hearing was set for De
cember 5th. Bond of two thousand
dollars was made tonight.
Third Arrest in Failure
The specific complaint against
Westbrook, according to County At
torney George II. Ilcinke, is that he
accepted for deposit a check for
?1,400. crediting it to the account of
Henry Kasbohm. hen he knew the
bank wr.s already Insolvent. Th9 de
posit was made March 24, 1927, and
the bank was closed about ten days
Inter.
Since the closing of the bank West
brook has been farming near Dun
bar. His arrest is the tniru in con
nection with the failure, Tom Murray
and Murray's son-in-law, Burton Gor
ton having been convicted following
the crash.
The county attorney said that the
cliarge had been considered for some
time, but had not been filed until
thi.i afternoon because of the great
amount of litigation concerning the
closed bank. "We needed many rec
ords to work over and these records
were here and there in court for var
ious lawsuits until now."
Few Similar Prosecutions
There have been few cases of pros
ecutton under charges or receiving
deposits while insolvent, Mr. Heinke
said. When the guaranty fund func
tioned perfectly, and depositors got
their money quickly, they were re
Iuctant to complain against bankers.
and juries were reluctant to convict
'"Now the thing ought to be followed
up, so as to give the depositor more
protection. Men who receive such
deposits ought to Le prosecuted."
Westbrook had aided authorities
in going over records of the bank
after Murray fled, but was accused
by Murray, after the latter was In
jail, of being responsible for some of
the difficulties.

ROB OMAHA JEWELRY SHOP
Omaha Two well dressed bandits
bound the proprietor and. Janitor of
the Joseph Blumenthal jewelry store
here, located a block from the south
side police station, and escaped with
$500 in cash and jewelry valued at
about 5,000 Friday night.
The bandits entered the store af
ter closing hours and ordered Blum
enthal and Howard Winslow, negro
Janitor, into the basement. Tying
their victims with rawhide thongs
and leaving them in opposite ends of

Rail Wreck
Bandit Believed
Omaha Man
May Have Mingled with Passengers
Going to Cheyenne After the
Holdup Monday Night
Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. 27. The
expected arrest this afternoon of the
young man who Monday night wreck
ed the crack Union Pacific westbound
Portland Limited and robbed its pass
engers of a little more than $250,
did not take place, and officials in
charge of one of the most spectacular
man hunts in Wyoming's history be
lieved tonight that the "pock-marked
tough" for whom they had spread
their net has slipped through and
away from Cheyenne.
R. John Allen, commissioner of
s:tate law enforcement, with his as
sistant, Ira Sisco, although co-oper-nting
with the county authorities,
beg.vi work on a new clue this after
noon, when they learned that a man
answering the description of the ban
dit had made a proposal to a man
living in a town west of here to stage
the robbery and in telling of his plan
explained how he would wreck the
train before robbing it.
This man is said to be an Omaha
and Kansas City gangster who at
one time was employed by the Union
Pacific railroad.
Officers believed that the train
robber may have mingled with the
passengers of the other train, and
when railroad workers arrived to
take the pasesngers into Cheyenne,
h was taken with them.
Chief of Police Fred L. Thomp
son is holding a suspect who wore
a blue sweater, a gray cap, and a
pair of tan shoes, the apparel de
