He became an advocate of Russian bolshevism. The veteran academician enlisted as a private in the French army at the outbreak of the world war. Ton years ago it was reported that he was engaged to marry Mile. Brindeau, an actress whom he met while returning to France from Buenos Aires. In October, 1020, at the age of 76, he married Mile.

Library Board Seeks Bonds for New Extensions Fifty Thousand Dollar Issue Will Cost Each Citizen Only Five Cents a Year. For the first time In 30 years, the citizens of Omaha are being asked to give money to the public library above the annual appropriation from the city council. Tlie library board, at the election November 4, will ask each citizen to contribute five cents a year for the erection of a branch library and com munity hall at Twenty-fourth and Ames streets. The board Is asking a bond issue of $ii0,000 for the purpose. The bond issue is made necessary; according to J. H. Mithen of the li brary board, chairman of the com mittee in charge of the extension drive, by the increased patronage of the branch libraries In preference to the central library. “The central library appears to have lost a great deal of Its useful ness as a distributor of books, having become more largely a reference li brary and a useful filing system for Important newspapers and periodi cals," said Mr. Mithen. "The circu lation of books, particularly fiction, is now done largely through the branch libraries and branch stations. "To meet this situation," he said, "the board believes that the public can best be served by the main tenance of a number of branch li braries. The present urgent need is for a brunch building at Twenty fourth and Ames streets, and funds derived from the proposed bond issue will be used for this building. "If this issue Is granted, it should he distinctly understood that the board will take immedluto steps for the erection of at least six other branch libraries at advantageous points." Plans of the board provide for s community hall to he Included in the branch library building. The hall will he used for meetings of citizens In t! a community. Each of the pro posed branch buildings will include n similar hail. 30,000 MULE DEER FACE STARVATION Washington, Oct. 12.—Imminent danger of extinction from starvation this winter of the entire herd of 30.000 mule deer now on the Kalbnb plateau In Grand Canyon game pre serve, nortinyest Arizona, lias caused a committee appointed by Secretary Wnllnee to recommend killing enougli of the herd to prevent denth of the remainder.

P. in Fourth District Congressman, After Canvass, Deelares McMullen Will Run Two to One Over Norton. Congressman M. O. McLaughlin of the Fourth district, in Omaha Sun day, said he was well pleased with the outlook. “Coolidge and Dawes will carry my district by more than both Davis and La Follette combined,” he said. "La Follette will run third. McMullen will carry the district by two to one over Norton. I do not look for Nor ton to more than carry his own county, Polk. He Is not popular In his own home section. "I have made a very thorough can vass of the district, and I believe the following will be the result: Whole Ticket I>eads. "The republican ticket, including Coolidge and Dawes, McMullen and myself, will carry Gage county by ap proximately 3,600; Jefferson county by 1.800; Thayer, 1,200; Filmore, 800; Saline, 800; Seward, 800; York, 1,200; Hamilton, 500; Saunders, 1,000. The ticket will break even In Polk coun ty, and we will cut down the demo cratic majority In Butler county to about 600. "So far, the only opposition 1 have found In my canvass for re-election to congress is a whispering campaign that is reacting.

McLaughlin Is the dean of the re publican delegation front Nebraska, is a prominent and active member of the agricultural committee, of which he has been a member for six years. He is nearing the top in the matter of seniority and Is in line for the chairmanship of this Important com mittee.

Damages Are Repaired By \»sorl»tftl Pres*. Coronado Beach, Cal., Oct. 12.— Tuesday morning at 7:30 is the new hour set for the departure of the navy dirigible, Shenandoah, on her voyage up the Pacific coast, accord ing to an announcement late today by Rear Admiral William Moffett chief of the naval bureau of aero nautlcs, after conferring with Ideut. Com. Zachary Lansdowne, comman der of the craft. Weather bureau reports of a storm sweeping down from the Alaskan sea board caused postponement of the sailing which previously had been set for daybreak Monday. Repairs would be complete for leav ing Monday, the admiral said, but he believes the stormy weather' predicted wdll bring with it haze, fog and prob ably rain, and In order to give as many cities as possible an opportun ity to see the great airship, the take off has been delayed until Tuesday, whne it is believed the gusty weather will have passed. From North island, where the Shen nndoah Is moored to her mast, the craft .rill follow the coast to a point south of Los Angeles, then swing In land and pass over that city. From this point onward the state of the w-eather wdll determine whether the Shenandoah will follow the coast or take the valley route, Lieutenant Commander Lansdowne said. Engines Perfect. The lieutenant commander issued the following statement: "Slight damage occurred to a keel girder (n frame ®0 in the after part of the Shenandoah on her landing at San Diego. The engines of the ship are in perfect condition and have worked constantly since leaving Lakehurst except when moored at Fort Worth, Tex. If the engines had stopped while going through the can yon, we probably all would have had a permanent home In the Rockies. They never faltered. "What many persons on the ground might suppose Is a tear In the outer covering is an opening where the cov ering was unlaced after the ship was moored in order to perform the wori. on the damaged girder. "The damage sustained could be re paired in a fewr hours if the ship were in an airship hangar. The fact that the ship is floating high on a mast has Increased the difficulty of effect ing repairs. However, complete re pairs have.been accomplished on the ship's structure for the first time at a mooring mast and great credit is due to Lieut. R. O. Mayer, repair of ficer of the ship, and his assistants for the skillful manner in which It has been accomplished. Visit Many Cities. "The Shenandoah wfl be fueled and provisioned on Monday and is sched uled to leave for the mooring mast near Tacoma, about 7:30 a. m. Tues day. "En route she will sail over Los Angeles. San Francisco. Portland and ns many other cities as practicable." Commander Lansdowne explained that the damage was due to the after gondola of the dirigible "swinging off ttie wind on the Innding and striking the ground suddenly. The jolt buckled one of the transverse girders Immediately above the gondola strut. Spare parts were at the San Diego station and a new section has been put In which, with the reinforce ments. makes the girder stronger than formerly.” "Tlie strongest wind of the year in this portion of California was blow ing yesterday." said Captain Thomas T. Craven, station commander. "Shortly before the Shenandoah ar rived It was blowing at the rate of 43 tnllcs an hour, 2,000 feet above the grodn, and 30 miles an hour on the ground. At the moment the Shenan doah touched the ground it was blow ing at 20 miles an hour anil particu larly gusty and erratic ns It swept over Point I.oma." UNION PACIFIC EMPLOYE DIES Erin ml I’.

PFTFT'S, Staff Corrc-pendent The Omaha Itse, Central City. Neb.. Oct. 11.—So much has been said and written ofj Nebraska's return to prosperity dur I lng the past 60 days that It seem? I almost like gilding the lily to sayv more. But. the price of corn and the price of wheat, and those prices spell prosperity, are all you hear today at every store and hank counter, the entirely satisfactory world series ex cepted. In the 13th verse of the 65th Psalm It Is written, "The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for Joy, they also sing." That Is Nebraska 120 miles west of Omaha. Christmas Bast Year. True, the only audible shout for Joy that I have heard came when Ruel raced In with the winning run for Washington* end the flocks are coming into the feeding pens, hut the fertile flats of the Platte are cov ered with corn that no frost can damage. Big ears, with long rows of firm kernels beneath the now wtilt onlng husks: corn that will run 40 bushels to the acre and bushels that will bring S5 cents with the possibil ity of *1. I was in the same country at Christmas time last year. Into one of the banks came a farmer shaking the snow from an overcoat that would have gone to the church rum mage sale In better times. He asked [or n past due note. “I can pay a part of that Interest, but you'll have to give more time on that note," he said. "Better make out t new note and add the unpaid Inter est to It." It was all very casual. There was no suspicion of refusal. And why should there 1*? It wasn't the first time that note had been renewed. The young cashier, without a word, made out a new note and handed back the old one. It was all In the day's work. No hope of immediate collection. A suit t useless expense. And many more tike them in the vault. I came back In early July. The banker was grumbling. "Where's all this prosperity you’re writing about?'’ he Hsked. "Maybe Ihey'vo got It In the eastern counties, but It hasn't hit us yet." Now It’s October. And now It Is middle October. No farm relief on the statute hooks No artificial method* of marketing But, i good crop In the fields and a good price at the market. "Got lots of money now?" I Bsked the hanker. He possesses a caution born of 35 years In the country. "Not yet." he said. "They're using their wheat money to pay off old hills, but Wit It 'til the corn come* In." There It Is In a nutshell Walt ‘till the corn comes And the corn Is rolng to eomo tn, millions of bushels >f It front the farmer with the too worn overt-out and his neighbors. Corn at a pr^ e that " Iff yield a profit. "1-tow's business."' 1 asked ene of those salesmen who cover their terri tory In flivvers. "I've been on this Job 60 days " he tald. "The man before me held It five rears. I'm selling more than he ever lid." The corn's coming In. River Drive Will Cost Home Owner 24 Cents a Year _ Koutsky Offers Figures to Show Economy of Pro posed Scenic "Boule vard Along Missouri. It will cost the average home own er only 24 cents a year for 20 years, or a total of only $4 SO. to buy all the river front land necessary for building a river drive and establishing eight miles of river front parks, according to figures prepared by City Commis sioner Joseph Koutsky. Mr. Koutsky figures It out this way: "The average assessed value of hemes in Omaha is $4,000. At the present city valuation the total cost ■ f the $241,000 bond issue will be $2.40 fur each property assessed at $4,000. This is payable over a period of 20 years, making 12 cents a year. The interest at B per cent for 20 years would also be $2.40; this is payable over a period of 20 years or 12 cents a year, making a total of 24 cents a year for interest and principal, "One of the charter amendments passed last spring requires the collec t' i of this money to be averaged equally for each year of the length of the bond issue, 20 years. This makes it impossible to let it go until the last year. "These figures are based on the present valuation. If the valuation of Omaha doubles in 2< years, the cost to each Individual will he cut in half, or will tie only 12 cent* the last year Instead of 24 cents. The amount of money to be paid will go down as the valuation goes up.” When Lawrence Drinker, chairman of the Joint River Front Develop ment company of the Real Estate board and Chamber of Commerce, re ceived these figures from Mr. Kout sky he said he didn't believe there was a man or woman in Omaha who would vote against the bond Issue November 4, aViatrix killed I IN PLANE LEAP Wichita.

By KARL H. VON WIEGANI). I'niversal Service Staff Correspondent. Frlederiehshafen. Germany, Oct. 12. —Like a floating phantom in the night the ZR-3, America's “made in Germany" new leviathan of the air, slipped away from Friederichshafen this morning. Up from the ground, with its nose toward the west, tic great ship in a few seconds disap peared into the dense fog of a g dawn on its long transatlantic flieht to Lakehurst. Throughout the day messages have come drifting back through tin . ir telling of the steady progre s being made. At 7 o'cloek this morning radio advices reported the ZR-3 had passed over Basle, Switzerland, a half hour earlier, heading toward Mar seilles and expecting to leave the con tinent at Gibraltar, taking the south ern route across the ocean. It was then traveling at the rate of 75 miles per hour. On Its way to Basle the ship crossed the German frontier and the Rhine, and at 8:37 was reported passing n:-:,r Belfort, France. Beautiful Weather. At 10 this morning a radio from the airship to Friederichshafen said that it was then over Lyons, going at a speed of 150 kilometers (75 mile.-) \t an altitude of 2,800 /eet, with beauti ful weather and brilliant sunshine. *At noon It was over southern France, heading for Bordeaux. With the bright weather and warm sunshine continuing at 3:45 this after noon, Dr. Eckener wirelessed that he had left Bordeaux, crossed the mmrh of the Garonne river and was heading out over the Atlantic. A radio sent at 2:05 p. m., when the ship was above Roquefort, said: “All well aboard. Motors are work ing perfectly." At that time an average speed f 75 miles was still being maintained, with the altitude given as 1,800 feet. The weather reports continue favor, able and the ship is expected to en counter no difficulty over the ocean. The getaway from Friederichshafen was quick and was without ceremony. At 5 o'clock, in a chill penetrating fog and long before dawn, every one of the 32 men and officers composing the crew and the American commis sion were promptly on hand at the Mg air shed. That was the appointed hour. Bilt Ship Searched. Another search was made In every nook and corner for possible stow, a ways. In the meantime a vast throng of people, including the greater put of the population of Friederichshafen #nd hundreds of others from ail over south Germany, surrounded the huge structure, the vague outline of v hr h loomed up ghostlike in the mi-t. It was not until 6:25 that the vast doors suddenly slid open and press representatives and immediate mem 1-ers of the families of the officers and crew were permitted to enter for a last hasty farewell. The blanket of Intensely wet f.-.g began to weigh so heavily upon enormous hull of the Zeppelin that Dr. Hugo Eckener cut short the leave taking. With here and there a lart quick kiss to mother, sister, wife or sweetheart, and a quick handshake, the cabin doors were closed. A snappy order to a detachment of reichswehr soldiers and they Jumped to the guy ropes and at 6:30 the ZR 5 stuck Its nose through the doors and J silently passed out, only a small part j of the immense crowd being able to { see anything more than a phantom- j like thing indistinctly outlined in tho 1 opaque fog.
