Hearts Boys Give More Thought to Lp Dog Than Politics ^ Sons of Publisher, Through Omaha, Found Demo cratic Convention “Ter rible Entertainment.” "I’m going to voto for dad when ! I’m 21,” was ths response of William , Randolph lleajst, jr., 16-year-old son of the newspaper and magatlne pub lisher, when asked concerning his po litical leaning. William and his "kid” brother, John, 14, passed through Omsha Thursday morning on the Overland limited, en route from New York to San Francisco. William remained in bed In his stateroom, but John, having had two > ears’ less traveling and alght-seelng ilian his "big” brother, got up in lime to get a raimclouded view of Union station. politics means nothing to William, despite his determination to vote for his influential father. "John and I saw the opening day of the democratic convention," lie ex plained. "But we didn t think much of it. I thpught it was terrible as an entertainment feature." "Blanche’’ Causes Worry. John was concerned with weight ier matters than politics. Ho was trying to locate ‘Blanche’ their little white Boston bull- dog. He hasn’t seen "Blanche" since they left Chi le. . ' ago and he was considerably wor led about her. With the two sons of the publisher were a boy friend, William Mayer, 15, of New York, a tutor, a valet and an aunt, as well as a maid. The three boys expect to go first to a ranch near San Simeon in Cali fornia, and later to the Hearst ranch, which extends some 12 miles along a river near Wentoon, in the Mount Shasta district. "It’o great fishing up there,” eaid John enthusiastically. "Gosh, I wish I could see ‘Blanche’ before the train pulls out again. Yes, we hope to spend a month or so up there. Gee, I wonder If that puppie Is all right. Parents Cuming Soon. "Yes sir, we’ve been going to school at a military academy in California, but w# went east to New York for a visit. We’ve been tutoring on the way. I sure am worried about our doggie.” And, unable to stand the strain any longer, John made a dash toward an other likely looking express car, in hope of locating the dog. The boys said Mr. and Mrs. Hearst are coming west early In July. They explained that their “dad” couldn’t get away until after the convention in New York. HAYWARD WILL FILED IN COURT The lute Harry V.

Neb., June 26.—Carl I.ange of this place owns an Amerl can silver dollar that was coined lr 1798. The head side hears the repre ‘sontatlon of a woman’s head and bust, above which is the word ".Lib erty,” and below which is the date 1798. Around the head are grouped 13 stars. The other side of the dollar differi from that of the better known dol lar In that the wlnps of the eagl< spread wider and on the eagle's breasi is tha American shield, which doei not appear on later coins. Above tha ^ eagle are~*rouped 13 stars and arount this central design are the words ft "United Slates of America." Tht motto, “I God We Trust,” cannot b< found on the coin, but the slogan, "I1 Pluribus 1,'num." is inscribed on a eliearner carried by the eagle. In place of the "milled" edge o the modern coins appears the In aerlptlon, "One dollar or unit for nni hunelred rente " The co n is a littli laiger tbapi the modern duller ' How Not to Erect Radio Aerial The Omaha Bee reporter and City Electrician Lovett received many surprises in making their investiga tion of dangerous radio aerials in the city. I In many instances, Lovett said, persons who constructed dangerous aerials must .have been born under lucky stars. One of the most danger ous cases was at 6201 Webster street. This antennae wire runs from an aerial on the root to a pole in the rear of 6206 Underwood. As the arrow indicates, the anten nae is wound around a cross-arm brace from the pole to the ci*ss-arm. Just behind this cross-arm, on the opposite side of the pole, is a trans former. On the same arm to which the cross-arm brace is attached are two 2,300-volt fuses and two 220-volt wires. On the arm Just above this are two high tension wires carrying 2,300 volts each. Running parallel with the antennae wire to thfe house is a wire carrying 110 volts. The manner in which this antennae wire Is wound around the cross-arm tends to show the person who did this, constructed it with great dan ger of his own life. In the event the antennae wire should break loose at the house and became entangled with any other wires it would be fatal to any person coming in contact with it. In the event of a storm such as we had Sunday, the high voltage wires might break and come in con tact with the antennae. Thj Insula tor on the aerial would not protect against the high voltage and the set would be ruined, and any one listening Ui at the time would be seriously. If not fatally injured. Antennae wires slfould not be con structed to or near any polls carrying wires with any voltage for therf Is always a danger of them becoming entangled.

Hopkins Expects Gas Price Raise; * % Cut at Fremont Refinery Charges Steadily In creasing; Elrod to Store His Fuel, It Is Claimed. Varied reasons were given Thurs day morning for the closing of the gasoline filling station of Benjamin Elrod at Sixteenth and Charles streets Wednesday evening. After the lowest sale of gas In the city for years, 10 cents, the station was suddenly closed. Commissioner John Hopkins, who is running the "Muny” gas station, sell ing at 13 cents, said that Elrod is going into ths "storage’’ business, that he has two car* of gasoline he bought at *1 i cents stored in his tanks and is waiting for the price to go up. McGoil's Cites Example. "Elrod’s failure is an example of the result of price depression In Omaha while at the same time the .companies which have forced him out of business here are keeping the price up in other cities.” said T. J. Mc Guire, assistant attorney general. The price in Fremont has dropped to 15 cents, according to word re ceived Thursday morning. The following companies made the reduction in Fremont: Standard, Mu tual, Nicholas and National Oil com panies. W. E. Lewie, owner of an independent station, was the first to announce the cut. Wholesale Price Up. The price at the refineries in stead ily going up. Thursday it wae be tween 9vi and 10 cents. Hopkins says the price in Omaha must go up soon. Due to the poor condition of the roads and a big sur plus, the price at the refineries was unusually low and will probably not reach that price again.” Corn Brings 75 Cents. Callaway, Neb., June *«.—Corn Is scares In this part of the county and feeders are offering 75 cent* a bushel for It. RADIO V____ Program for Juno M. (Courtooy of Radio Digest ) By Associated Press.
