When in Omaha Stop at Hotel Rome Humane Body Holds Horse Against Will of Owner Barney Google anti his brown-eyed “Sparkie" may have their troubles, but Dock Boyd, who resides nt 27(11 >3 Cuming street, firmly believes that he and his horse, "Frankie,” have the comic strip favorites cheated when it comes to being magnets for bad luck. Dock was peacefully driving “Frankie” along the street the other afternoon, looking for a load of ashes or tin cans to haul, when a humane officer approached. The officer In sisted on taking "Frankie” to the ani mal shelter at Twenty-first and Izard streets for treatment. Since then, Dock says, the humane officers have become attached to "Frankie" and won’t part with him. Dock goes farther and states to the 1 wide, wicked world that unless the j humane society gives him back his brown-eyed "Frankie” there won't be ; any food in the Loyd household. Dock is about 40 years old. Humane ! officers declare tlie horse is about the, same age. Dock heatedly denies this, 1 insisting that “Frankie” is quite I I young and even coltish at times. In j rebuttal humane officers declare "Frankie" is not only old but decrepit, jthat bis knees are wobbly and that i he shouldn't be permitted to work i anymore. "I treat 'Frankie’ like a member I of the family,” asserted Dock. “When were short of food he eats first. Every night I kiss him goodnight. We bake extra loaves of bread to feed him and I comb his hair like I would my own.” Dock has consulted the law firm, O'Brien and Powers, and the firm is planning to f\Je a writ of replevin ngainst the Nebraska Humane society [ unless the horse is returned to its owner. Dock says he paid $30 for the horse last fall, and that he has been making a good living for his wife, mother-in-law and three chil dren since then by hauling. Welcome W. Bradley of the Hu mane society remains adamant, how ever, declaring the horse shouldn't be worked in its present condition. Failure to Aid Negro Deplored Colored People Have Served in Every U. S. War, Says Congressman Dyer. Charging that the United States had helped the Fillipino native, a member of the colored race, and has refused to aid the colored people in its' own confines, I,. C. Dyer, congress man from Missouri and author of the Dyer anti-lynching bill, addressed the Omaha chapter of the National Asso ciation for Advancement of Colored People in the council chamber of the city hall Monday night. The bill of which he is the author was passed by the house last session and killed by the senate. lie says the bill will be the first to b3 con sidered by his committee, the judi ciary, at the opening of the next session. He deplored the small number of regulars in the Omaha chapter of the association and said he noticed sever al ministers were evidently working against the aims of the society by not belonging. "The negro," stated Mr. Dyer,” has been In every war of the United States from the revolution to the last war, and has served his country as well as the white man. If the gov ernment can ask the negro to fight it must see that he has protection in every state in the union. The anti lynching bill would make It compul sory to indict any or all members of a mob participating in a lynching. When that bill is passed, America will no longer be looked upon by the world as the one nation where mob rule is not punished.”. Tariff Reduction on Feeder Cattle Asked Washington, May 1.—Investiga tion of the tariff duties on stock and feeder cattle with a view to an ad justment that will aid the cattle feed eis in the United States who depend to some extent on Canadian sources of supply was asked of the tariff com mission in a brief filed by the Ameri can Farm Bureau federation. At the same time the Pennsylvania federation and the Illinois Agricultural associa tion filed briefs urging that the pres ent duty on the two classes of cattle be reduced the full SO per cent per mitted by tlie flexible provisions of the tariff law. , The Farm Bureau federation's brief Robert Trimble Succeeds Arthur Guiou on Ak Board w msL Robert S. Trimble. R o b e rt S. Trimble of Trimble Bros, was elected Monday night to the board of governors of Ak-Sar-Ben lo ( fill the va cancy caused by the recer.t death of Ar thur Guiou, former king of Quivera. declared that the effect of the duties had been to increase the spread be tween prices in Canada and the United States by forcing the former s prices downward. No mention was made of duties on other classes of livestock. /’/fl/i.s to Reorganize Parcel Post Service Under Consideration Washington, May 1.—A general reorganization of the plan nf handling parcel post packages which would revolutionize the whole service, is un der investigation by the Postoffice de partment. It would provide for the sorting and distributing of the larger packages at warehouses adjacent to railroad stations and possibly for spe cial types of railway cars to carry them. Under the plan proposed by Paul Henderson, second assistant post master general, parcel post packages except those smaller than a standard cigar box and perishable goods such as one day old chicks, would be sep arated from the regular mail and handled at the warehouse. Such a course, it is explained, would con serve expensive postoffice space, economize on moter vehicle expense, eliminate double hauls and speed de livery. The regular mail service would benefit in a like ratio. r t Yours for the Asking You’ll find hereafund of information on mak ing pictures that’s yours for the asking.
