MAY LOSE CUSTOMS OFFICES
Washington. The customs offices
of bcth Omaha and Lncoln are
among those scheduled to be closed
July 1 by administration leaders un
ices nfirprpn difficulties arise to
block the retrenchment plans. 'J.n
Omaha there are six employes and a
collector who get $4,600 a year. In
Lincoln the office is run by a part
time man, but is regarded as an as
set to the city. The retrenchment
was l:arned quite by accident v.hen
Arthur Mullen noticed that C. L.
Weit, slated to be collector of the
Omaha port, was being appointed
only until July 1. Further investiga
tion revealed, for the first time, the
retrenchment.
Congressman Burke of Omaha got
in leuch with the senators and repre
sentatives from some thirty states
to be affected if the proposal to close
the sixteen ports gets presidential
approval. Burke and Senator Mur
phy cf Iowa will see President Roose
velt Friday to request that he not
sign the proposal until they can pre
sent their side.
Two years ago Secretary Mills
made a similar suggestion, but there
was ruch a storm of pretest that the
prrposal was vctcd down by the
the hcue. Thi3 year, however, the
president was voted power to cut
whatever he wished and this 13 one
of the proposals.
From Thursday's Daily
E. P. Belts, assessor cf Tipton pre
cinct, was in the city today to look
af-er some matters at the court house
ar.d was accompanied by his grand
daughter, Mi3 Eva Pearl Adam:, who
came ever to enjey the drive.
Money for
Nebraska to Aid
in Highways
Increase of More Than Million Dol
lars in State Allotment of Pub
lic Works Fund.
Washington. Increases of more
than 2 million dollars iu the original
appropriation to Iowa and Nebraska
for their ehare in the public works
fund for highways was revealed in
the revised public works bill. Iowa's
share was increased from approxi
mately 10 millions to nearly 11 mil
lions, and Nebraska's share was
raised from approximately 7.5 mil
lions to approximately S.7 millions.
lAs the bill was first introduced, an
allotment was made to the states on
the basis of highway apportion
ments in 1921 and the population
ratio, but the bill as reported by the
committee makes the entire allotment
on the 1321 baris, disregarding the
population factor. The bureau of
public reads explains that states will
not necessarily get the entire sum,
however, since tha 400 millions in
the bill is a maximum figure and
may not be fuly apportioned. The
president is empowered to grant up
to that sum, and if all is allotted
the above state quotas will be ap
portioned. Informed of an increase of 1.2
millions in the share Nebraska would
receive under the federal public
works bill now before congress, Gov
ernor Bryan said "it will mean the
absorption of practically all the un
employed in the state."
The governor said he had confer
red extensively recently with State
Engineer Roy Cochran on the work
to be done when and if the money is
made available, and that Nebraska
will be ready to put men to work just
as soon as the funds are offered. "We
are making up 'surveys and figures,
and planning for the work so that
there will be no delay. The increased
amount of money which would be
available to Nebraska will mean that
our program will be extended just
that rau:h farther. Present plans do
not go so far as to tabulate the num
ber of miles of paving, graveling and
other kinds cf work to be done, but
we will seek first to extend further
west the paving lines and link up the
graveled highways. With the added
funds we will make work for our re
forestation corps and about 1,200 ad
ditional men. States ready to start
hgihway work as soon a3 funds are
available will be the ones to get it
Crst, and Nebraska will be ready."

REFUGE
Primitive man as he arose from
the drift,
And sought a shelter above the
rift,
Entered a cave he thought made
for him,
Thus life seemed more pleasant
and not so grim.
His food was simple and not
always fresh,
In pottery grim he cooked his
flesh
And gormandized his appetite
with contraband.
Then slept in quietude without
moving a hand.
He arose from his sleep and
inspected the cave,
Then thought such a refuge, I
do not crave.
So went into the open and a
city he built,
And walled it in and decked
with gilt.
Then his troubles began to take
effect.
For every time he tried to
erect
A semblance of safety though
very crude,
It was torn from its moorings
and left very nude,
The mountains then he thought
- - 'to climb, - -
And carve out a home in the
cliffs sublime,
But trials he bore until he for
sook, The cliffs as a refuge he inco
herently took.
To the plains he maneuvered his
perishing flock.
And thought to build a town on
solid rock
Which would extend to Heaven
a place in the sky,
Where he could take refuge in
the sweet bye and bye.
Primitive man has stepped up
a span,
And discovered his refuge is
always at hand,
A mental state and not hard
to find,
For it eminates from the one
omnipotent mind. "T"

Tryon, Neb. The eight victims of
the tornado were buried Wednesday

Omaha Street
Car Service is
in Danger
Company Says That It Must Cur
tail Feeder Euses City Of
ficials Resist.
After hearing testimony of three
women residents of Omaha who testi
fied that they lived in "fear and
terror" at the thought of the Omaha
& Council Bluffs Street Railway com
pany discontinuing some of its day
and night bus service, the railway
commission Friday afternoon set June
8 at 10 a. m. as the time and Lin
coln as the place, of a further hear
ing. In effect, the commission denied
the desire of the city of Omah for a
thirty day continuance and a hear
ing to be held at Omaha by continu
ing the hearing until June 8 and an
nouncing that the commission's engi
neer, E. E. Forbes, would go to Om
aha and there with the city's repre
sentative check operating accounts of
the street railway company. There
will be no need cf further time to
check the accounts, Chairman Ran
dall said, when the city of Omaha
asked time to make such a check.
Briefs on questions of law raised and
on exhibits filed are asked by the
commission.
President C. D. Porter of the trans
portation company testified at the
afternoon hearing that the company
must have relief from losses in oper
ation by abandoning some bus lines
which feed outlying ends of the trac
tion lines and some bus lines which
are cross town lines, all of whicn
are feeders to the main traction
lines.
Seymour L. Smith, city attorney,
L. J. TePoel, city corporation coun
sel, and Miss Edith Beckman, repre
senting a group of citizens, protested
against the proposed change. The
commission overruled tho city of Om
aha in its contention that the city
has jurisdiction ever the street rail
way as a common carrier under a
home rule charter. TePoel expressed
a desire not to bring into the case
the questions of the franchise of tne
company which citizens petitioning
alleged prohibits ethers from operat
ing buses in Omaha.
J. A. C. Kennedy, Ralph Svoboda
and E. J. Shoemaker appeared as at
torneys for the company. Dan But
ler, Omaha commissioner of finance,
was an : interested pepta.tor. Deficits
of between $600,000 and 5700,000
annually for two years and $24S,000
during the first four months of this
year were pleaded , by the company.
Miss Eva Hugenberg, 3904 So.
35th St., Omaha, was called as a wit
ness by City Attorney Smith. She
said she lived in "fear and terror"
at thought of abandonment of the
Vinton-L street bus lines, as she
would have to cross three railroad
tracks and go thru a bridge under
another railroad and walk thru weeds
a mile to a car track if the bu3 was
taken off, and that this long walk
was dangerous for a girl. She said
her neighborhood was thickly set
tled, mostly with working people.
Miss Hanna Johnson of the same
address and Mrs. Harry Harvat, 3815
So. 35th, testified in corroboration
of the first witness.

TAKING ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE
As the sun in royal splendor tints
the hills and eastern skies,
With the colorings of the orient in
its opalescent dyes.
One's thoughts go up in revolt that
the sight sublime and grand
Should fade so quickly, leaving but a
shade cast o'er the land.
And as one ponders, deep in awe, the
clouds soon pass away.
To leave a vision, bright and clear,
of a grand and glorious day.
Thus oft we find, throughout our
lives, that contrast sharply
made
To bring the picture to us in its high
lights and deep shade.

And if we could but realize that the
obstacles we meet
Are but the chlaro-scuro that will
