For many years Omaha had two comparatively mod ern stations within a block of each other but unconnected. To go from one station to the other required the crossing of tracks by an overhead street viaduct. The inconvenience and delay have been costly and an noying to the traveling public. The new Union station, now un der construction, will be connected with its neighbor, the Burlington, with a direct overhead viaduct. The general idea is conveyed in the ac companying picture. At the right is the 'Burlington station, at the left is the new Union station. Construc tion cost of the new station with its drives, connections and appurten ances will run to $4,200,000. The result when the construction is finished will be architectural beauty combined with maximum util ity for railroads and patrons. The ramp idea will be employed in the automobile drives that will connect the track level of the new station with the Tenth street viaduct by means of which street cars, vehicles and pedestrians reach the stations area. Then Omaha railway terminals will match her importance as a rail road center. Omaha is fourth rail road center of the United States and the hub of ten trunk lines Union Pacific; Northwestern; Burlington; Great Western; Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific; St. Paul, Minne apolis & Omaha; Rock Island; Mis souri Pacific; Illinois Central and Wabash. Omaha has the general headquarters for the Union Pacific and western divisions of the Burling ton and Northwestern. Eighty-five mail trains arrive in and depart from Omaha daily. More than 1,572,000 express shipments are carried in and out of Omaha annually. SOUTH BEND $ Ashland Gaaette ! Merle Hamilton spent Sunday with Herbert Stander.

Scott McBride, superintendent of the Anti Saloon league, said In a statement Wednesday that he wished "to make it plain that it is not my view that the Volstead act authorized the manufacture of beer or home brew. His statement said: "Many of the headlines and news articles In the press refer ring to my testimony before the senate lobby committee on Tues day, convey the impression that I said home brewing or the mak ing of beer in the home was lawful under the Volstead act. "I made no such statement and the record shows that I did not. I was questioned regarding a speech by Congressman Fort in the house of representatives in which he quoted from section 20 of the Volstead act. No Home Brew. ' 'The penalties provided In this act against the manufac ture of liquor without a permit shall not apply to a person for manufacturing non-intoxicating cider and fruit juices exclusive ly for use in his home.' "In view of the fact that my statements before the committee on this subject seem to have been misunderstood. It wish to make It plain that it is not my view that the Volstead act au thorie3 the manufacture of beer or home brew." The official record of McBride's testimony, shows he was asked by Chairman Caraway of the lobby com mittee of Representative' Fort had not made a speech In which "he rath er wanted to upset the dry program didn't he?" the official record con tinues: McBride: I think not. Caraway: Well I was under the impression that he was for modi fication. Probably Right. McBride: No, he said that the law permitted the making of liquor in the home. It was his interpretation of the law as it is. Later: Caraway: You don't agree with his interpretation? McBride: Well now, we think that was a very good speech that he made as a whole. That is his interpreta tion. I think probably he is right. A little later: Caraway: What I am coming to is this: I am interested in the Anti Saloon league's attitude. Would you be satisfied with the interpretation of the act that would allow every one to make liquor in his own home? McBride: No, that. I think there are certain phases to the law, I think that under certain conditions liquor can be made in the home without be ing a violation. Omaha Bee-News. POSTHUMOUS AWARD MADE Mexico City Col.

Autono mous church governments for Korea, Brazil and Mexico and a permanent bishop for China were approved by the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, at the quadrennial general conference here Wednesday. While the first three churches will set up as separate bodies, their rela tions to the mother church will be retained in what was characterized as a "mother and daughter" relation. This bond -will extend to furnishing of funds by the mother church to an extent which may be as great as that now in effect. The Brazil Methodist church will. perhaps, remain more closely asso ciated with the South church than either of the other two autonomous groups, since those in Korea and Mexico will be formed of a unifica tion of the northern and southern Episcopal church groups. The church in Brazil will cooper ate through a "general council" with the mother church. Delegates from China said no sepa ration from the1 American church body was desired. The committee on revlsala con curred in the memorial of the Louis ville conference to amend the mar riage ceremony of the church by striking out the words "obey" and serve." The memorial wlil be submitted to the general conference. Preventative Aid for Measles is Discussed I HERE FROM ILLINOIS From Thursdays Dany George F.

Jacobson Found at Court House and Unable to Tell Home Friends Located. From Thursday's Dally Yesterday afternoon a lady, later identified as Mrs. J. J. Jacobson, re siding west of Fort Crook, was found wandering around the court house here and unable to tell her name or where she had come from. The condition of the lady was no ticed by County Attorney W. G. Kieck and who on inquiry discovered tne plight of the unfortunate lady and the fact that she was unable to re veal who she was or how she came to be here. The lady was attired in a house dress and apparently had started from home when stricken with the loss of her memory. The lady had with her some letters or papers that indicated that she was a resident of near Fort Crook, and Deputy Sheriff Young taking the lady in his car, started for that place and finding a number of the residents in that locality in a car along the road inquired if they could identify the unfortunate woman which they did. stating that she was Mrs. J. J. Jacobson, living west of Fort Crook and they saw that she was returned to her home. Just how Mrs. Jacobson came to be here she was unable to account for, apparently having been given a ride into this city by someone and as it proved was fortunate in not get ting to some distant point before her plight was discovered.

INDIANS SEEK SETTLEMENT Washington Tribal commi ttees of the Winnebago Indians of Nebras ka and Wisconsin are now deliberat ing on terms of a new jurisdictional bill which they hope to have enacted by the congress to cover more com pletely claims they were allowed to file under act of Dec. 17, 1928. The legislation allowed three years for filing of the claims and contract was made with Ralph II. Case, Washington attorney, to pre pare the suits. No claims have been filed yet, however, as further legis lation was considered advisable. The divided tribe, after much correspon dence between the two branches, reached an agreement to ask for the new jurisdictional bill. No announce ment has yet been made of its terms. Representative Howard, democrat, Nebraska, who was author of the original bill, probably will sponsor the second blil also. OLDEST UNION ARMY GENERAL IN HOSPITAL Boston, May 12.

Her veil, of embroidered tulle, was caught in back by rhine stones, and in front was held by a crown of orange blossoms and lace. She carried a shower bouquet of white Killarney roses, gardenias and; lillies of the valley, and a single strand of pearls completed her cos tume.
