Today A Real Program. Hoiv Detroit Grows. Below the Sea, Alive. Money Still Dropping. y Anton Lang, who for years has played the part of Christ in the OberammeVgau Passion play, has a peace plan considerably better than the one that cost Mr. Bok *50,000. “Faith and toil and help ing one another'* is Herr Lang’s formula. It’s a good one, with more Christianity in it than in the whole league of nations. In Detroit things grow rapidly and solidly. Merchants will be in terested 'to know that the J. L. Hudson Co. of Detroit, is building a 15-story building «s an addition to the already big plant. The de partment store is the typical American enterprise. Nobody can foretell the greatness of its fu ture. Many other wonderful oppor tunities are in Detroit if you know how to use them. Go there and see. At the bottom of the sea, with its crew, off the British coast, in 30 fathoms of water, lies the British submarine L-24, rammed by a battleship. At that depth, divers can only remain at work 7 minutes because of the great water pressure. It is thought the crew may still be alive, but the hydrophones bring no signals, no sounds. If these men are alive, they know how much water is above them, how slight their chance of any better fate than slow death. What do they talk about among themselves, how does the strong est man among them keep up the courage of the others? What would you talk about if you were there? And would those men be justi fied in killing themselves if they chose, in preference to dying slow ly and painfully? The French franc continues to drop; a new low record was made yesterday, another they day be fore. The Japanese yen is dropping also, but that is not the fault of Japan, the earthquake did it. Italian money, on the other hand, went up yesterday. Mussolini is trying to improve conditions by developing Italy, not relying on getting something from somebody else—although he did take $60, 000,000 from Greece when the op portunity came along. But that was real money. He wasn’t dreaming dreams. Edith Schlenker, 14 year* old, tall for her age, was teased by smaller children in her school class. She stayed away from school, and her father with good intention*, of course, scolded her severe'**. She jumped from the roof ano killed herself. She was an only child. That short story reminds parents that it is difficult to realize the intense sensitiveness of young children. Arthur Anderson, just out of his 'teens, murdered a man in the course of a robbery. In prison he confessed to his father. And the father, an old tailor, deeply re ligious man, told in court just what his son had confessed, be cause he was under oath. The son has been sentenced to death, the judge had no alterna tive. That’s an interesting piece of news because it never happened before. For some curious reason you feel that a boy ought not to be executed on the testimony of nis own father. Yet there is no sound reason for it. While experts tell us how soon the world’s oil supply will give out, dispatches from Moscow tell of oil deposits found every day or two In Siberia, and elsewhere. In Kamchatka Professor Pol evoy describes “great sources of oil, so plentiful that it could be squeezed from the clay.” Gold and silver are also plenti ful in those wonderful Russian territories. We ought to do busi ness with them, even if it does hurt the feelings of some virtuous little gentlemen who dislike the idea that Russia should govern itself in its own way. Wireless signals in the code of the United States navy have been heard 1,400 feet down in a mine in Arizona. “Sound without wires going through 1,400 feet of solid earth” seems marvelous. But we must remember that there is no such thing as “solid” earth. And there is no such thing as solid matter, only electrons, that form atoms, atoms that form molecules, and molecule* that form what we call matter, the particles of that mat ter being as far from each other, in proportion to their size, as earth is from tho sun. There is no reason why radio waves shouldn't go anywhere, since there is no solid matter to stop them. (foiiyrlght H14.I Daniel Henry, 76, Dies.

A man answering the desci iptlon of Claude F. Bossie, former city clerk, was scheduled to sail yesterday from New York city with Ruth Wamsley for Italy, according to information re ceived from Kansas City last night. The Wamsley woman lived at 3807 I’aseo boulevard, Kansas City. Mo., the home of Mr, and Mrs. Frederick Thornton. On December 21 she left the I’aseo 'address and went to the Savoy hotel In Kansas City. It was on December 20 that Bossie left from Omaha. The Thorntons declined to discuss the cane, but neighbors stated that a man who made weekly visits to the Thornton residence gave the name of Bush and answered a de scription of Bossie. Ruth Wamsley told the neighbors that she was married to Bush, but she iiever confided the nature of hts business, nor why he was there only on weekend visits, nor did he. Bush, according to neighbors of the Thorn tons, was lavish with his money, buy ing the Wamsley woman fine clothes, many presents, flowers and canijy and took her to parties. Bush was considered as a liberal spender and the twain were generally looked upon as man and wife. The Savoy hotel in Kansas City, where Bossie visited frequently dur ing his trips to the Missouri city, was the name of a hotel in Omaha where the former city clerk and Mrs. I'ossie lived for a period of years here. The hotel was destroyed by fire during which Mrs. Bossie was carried out. Ignored Warning. Bo sale left Omaha on Thursday night, December 20. for Kansas City, returning here for a few hours on Saturday morning, December 29, the last time he was aeen at the city hall. On that Saturday morning Mayor Dahlman had a serious conver sation with Bossle In the latter's of fice. The mayor gave Bossle the alternative of attending to business at once or sending in his resignation by January 1. Bossle did not return nor resign. On Tuesday morning of last week the mayor presented a resolution to the city council, remov ing Bossle from office. The name of Ruth Wamsley was given yesterday by city hall persons ns the woman in the Bossle case. Former friends and confidants of Bossle stated that the Wamsley wom an reappeared In Bossle's life last spring, coming here from California. The woman returned to the west and Bossi# obtained a leave of four weeks, which time he spent In California. Further Information gleaned from the city hall is that after Bossle's Cali fornia trip the Wamaley woman went to Kansas City and that Bossle then began his regular weekend trips to that city. Confirmed In Kansu City. Advices from Kansu City last night were that tha Wanlsley woman and Bush made a four weeks' trip to California last spring. Bossie had many Kansas City tele phone calls from May to December of last year. The Kansas City num ber from which he frequently wss called and which he called, was given yesterday by the Omaha telephone of fices as "Linwood 5298." Reference to a Kansas City telephone directory showed that this telephone number Is held by Frederick Thornton. "Mr. Bossie told me that he went to Kansas City to sell grspee for a man he met in California," Mrs. Bos eie said. "I believed my husband Ini pllcitly. but when my friends rid! culed the grape story' I then said no more about it. I don't know positive ly that there was another woman In the case, but I was told that a woman caused separation between Mr. Bossie and his first wife in Den ver. I have corresponded with a daughter by hit first marriage." Estate In Italy. A brother of Mr. Boaalc la in the stone business in Dsnver. Tbs broth ers ara said to have Interests in an estate in Italy, and Mrs. Boasle as serted that her husband discussed for more than a year the Idea of going to Italy in connection with this es tate. She also stated that during her married life of nearly 12 years prior to last spring Mr. Boesla waa an at tentive and devoted husband. "Of course,” she added, “I sue pected that something was wrong and I often warned him of the conse quences if he did not mend Ills ways. I told him ha had a future." Mr. Bossie was 17 years old on Da cember 11, 1923. and Mrs. Bossie was 37 on the following day. The little wife, who Is waiting at 2215 Howard street for the return of her husband, was a member of the New York Hip podrnme show when she first met Mr. Bossie on the stage of Convention hall. Kansas City, during Christmas week, 1910. Bossie accompanied the special show train to Omaha and made avowals of love on the way. A few weeks later, while playing In Chi cago, Mrs. Bossie became engaged and after finishing her season with the show, she came to Omaha and war married to Bossie on September 28. 1911. Ill the office of Mayor Dahl man. Mayor's Notice Attracted. The nature of the weekend trips of Bonnie to Kansan City broke In the city hall during the late summer and the situation gradually' unfolded tin til the mayor began to take notice. About two months ago Mri. Bossle mentioned the matter to the mayor and aeveral city commlsaloners. Bossle dime to Omaha about lb years ago from Denver, where he had been employed as a city detective. After here a year or so. he was given a Job In the heulth department, noon being promoted to position of dairy Inspector, which post he held six years. For three years prior to 1921 lie was employed In the federal build Ing with the Internul revenue depart merit. He managed the last city cam paign of the mayor and running mates and was rewarded with posi tion of city clerk which carried a salary of $300 per month. Mr*. Bossle is suffering under s severe nervous strain at her apart ments. She has been watting and watching for the leturn of the mar she says was "a wonderful husband to her.'' i- — ■— —- ■ ■ i ue e/iuniiH Would You Think Weather Was Zero?

Lincoln, Jan. 13.—'The Standard Oil company of Indiana has played a low. miserable trick on Charles W. Bryan. Just as the governor had about proved that he could succeed where the late King Canute Ignominl uusly failed, and stop the inrushing tide with a gesture, the Standard pushed the price of gasoline up 2 cents. However, the governor Is not de feated. He will take steps to force the price back where it belongs as soon as ho officially learns that the Standard has had the temerity to fly in the face of his mandates. JuBt what those steps will be. the governor dots not reveal, and will not until he has done his bit to place the democratic national convention In Chicago by attending a meeting of . the demo cratic national commlttea at Wash ington. The governor claims to have dic tated the telegram that brought 15 14 cent gasoline to Nebraska last sum mer while on a fishing trip in Min nesota. It Is beside the point that others had been before him In secur ing lower prices. He has repeatedly stated that he was the responsible party and that gasoline would not go above 181-4 cents while he was governor of this great commonwealth. That Is to say, not If he could help It. The Standard has called the gov ernor’s bluff. It remains to be seen whether or not he has the cards that will rake In the pot. Last week saw the Inauguration of an active campaign for the re-election of Senator George Norris, when 2,500 republican precinct worker* were asked to circulate petitions for the senator. When the petitions have been filed It will be definitely known whether or not Nebraska's senior senator intends to again m<tke the race. Under the statute petitions filed with the secretary of state must be either deel ned or accepted within five days of the filing date, aa both Senator Norris and his friends are well aware. Persons In a position to know and who somt time ago were vehement in their declarations that Norris would retire, are now almost as cer tain that he will accept the filing It Is understood on good authority that letters recently received from the senator by Ills friends, reiternte his Intention to retire If unsolicited by Nebraska's voters, but carry a paragraph which Intimates that should the petitions be signed by large numbers he will be a candi date. Further, there are persistent ru mors here, apparently well founded, that the senator's wife has told friends her husband would he In the race. One of thoss most vitally affected by the senator's decision Is C. M. Gustafson, former head of the United States Grain Oroweri, who was the first republican to announce his can didacy for the senate. At that time Gustafson stated that he had made the announcement on the understanding that Norris, would not be a candidate Hnd he reaffirmed that statement two days ago. This Is definite. If Norris runs for the sen ate Gustafson will not. It appears now that there Is some llkllhood that Gustafson will be s candidate for governor. In opposition to Mothers and McMullen, who have already filed. When confronted with a point blank question as to ths pos sibility, he says tittle. Gustafson as a candidate for gov ernor is not the only possible result of Norris’ acceptance of the petitions now being circulated. It may mean that Bryan will decide that the sen ator Is a little too strong for him, and run for re-election, keeping, how ever. alwaye In mind the idea that the impossible might come to pas" and he bo asked to head the national democratic ticket ss candidate for president. A politician whose Inside Inform* (Ion has always been found to be re liable, is th<* authority for the state ment that Bryan hna promised for mer Senator Hitchcock and former Democratic National (,'ommltteemun Arthur Mullen the right to name the democratic candidates for senator and governor In return for the privilege of naming Nebraska's delegates to the national convention. Nebraska sends 1*1 delegates to the convention—no Inconsiderable ntim her when It Is a solid unit, nnd Bryan could at least make a stab for the nomination with that as a nucleus around which to build. To those, who find the governor’s presidential pretensions ridiculous, let It be said thal Bryan takes the mat ter seriously despite repented derlnra tlons that he Is not s candidate. Only Saturday he said, without any apparent provocation, that "Nebraska Is getting so mindi publicity outside the state because of my administra tion that I need make no apologies or explore I ns because my name line mentioned by u number of papers throughout the country as a presl dential candidate." It develops at the hearing of the senate committee investigating road claims that Governor Bryan, had he believed there would be a deficit and had he honestly desired to avoid it, could have done so by stopping work on the roads and reapportioning It so as to come within what ho esti mated would be available to pay con tractors. The governor having successfully absented himself from the hearing one of his appointees, R. L. Cochran, state engineer, steps bravely forward and says that had such a step been considered advisable. It would have been his duty to have recommended It to the governor. Cochran may have been performing the duty of a faithful appointee, but he deceives no one. Since coming Into office Governor Bryan has made the road situation one of his hobbles, which he rldgs on every occasion, and is thoroughly conversant with provi sions In every contract which give him the right to cancel without re course.

Snowfall Is Gravy f or Wild Animals in Omaha Zoo; They’re Hibernating "Whir-r-r-r," The flapping of huge wings* as some startled being was unceremoniously seated upon the slippery Ice broke the silence of *cm> dnrkiess and approaching twll.ght at Rivervtew park zoo.

T’pon his perch the eagle gazed stupidly at the almost tyibroken ex panse of vlrg.n snow before him. In tbs next wired compartment perched four member! of the family of "hoot and then blink."

Dr Awiociated Pr*«*. Dos Moines. Ia.. Jan. 13.—Efforts to jthe state legislature to raise the re quirements for admission to the low t ! state bar will be futile so long as ifarmer members predominate in either ! house. It was indicated by an analysis rf the vote by which the house last week voted to retain the old stand aids and to do away with proposed ! new standards conforming with rec ommendations of state and national 1 bar associations. The present law makes eligible as a candidate for admission to the bar any person 21 or more who has the equivalent of a high school educa tion and who has pursued the study of law for three years in a law school, or in a lawyer's or office or in a court of record._ The new law, advocated by j house lawyers, would require every candidate for admission to the bar to be a graduate of a law school which makes its entrants pursue a liberal arts course for two years before un dertaking the study of law, and then follow a legal course of study for three more years. The measure was drafted by the code commission containing the latter requirements. Parsons of Calhoun Introduced an amendment restoring the original requirements and It was passed, with almost perfect alignment of farmers against lawyers, with the men who are neither farmers nor lawyers flocking mostly to the side of the farmers. Every member of the socalled house “farm bloc" voted for Parsons' amend ment. The lawyers, however, won a farmer recruit In GaHigher, demo crat, of Iow^ county, who not only voted for the raising of the standards but made a dramatic speech In its be half under a suspension of the rules negotiated to gain the floor for him. His speech was the more notable be cause it was a brilliant defense of education and the law, by a man who was never himself a lawyer, and who had less than a common school edu cation. Since the first requirements for ad mission to the Iowa bar were estab lished In 1851, It was pointed out during the debate by Representative Clyde Doolittle of Delaware, the stand ards have been raised four times — in 1S60, again In 1873, once more in 1591, and the last time in 1913. The argument which defeated the effort to raise the standards was that voiced by several speakers—that such standards "discriminate against the poor boy. rich In brains, and in favor of the rich boy, poor in brains.” Bee Want Ads Produce Results. | New Armour Manager Began as Lard Clerk E. 8.
