President Pioneer .
Junior League Has
" ; Some Depot Ideas
"If the most anemic htck-burg that
ever disturbed the peace by Its snores
has anything on Omaha In tho way of
depots I'll bet a fellow could make money
selling photographs of it to the funny
maaTaslnss. ...
Thla little Impromptu speech was made
in the court house by C. T. Williams,
contractor and. president of the Omaha
Junior Pioneers' league. He was talking
to Harry Pearce, registrar of deeds.
A regular 6-cent tobacco cigar was In
Ms teeth when he started talking, but
as he warmed to his subject, he got
excited and commenced chewing.
"Tke that Northwestern depot at Fif
teenth and Webster. That's a riot. Why
the bugs and vermin are so thick In that
t place that a monkey'd go craiy from
heer delight if he was ever turned
loose in the place." .
.The Pioneer league, composed of ejt
Isens of twenty-five years' residence in
Omaha, will take up the depot project
at a big smoker and Jollification to bo
held in Swedish auditorium on the even
ing of April S.
At a meeting Monday night the league
indorsed The Bee's campaign to Indue

Federal Red Tape
Proves Hardship to
Former Sailor Lad
.Because governmental "red tape" is
causing distress to an invalid who gave
the -best of his young life to his country,
county authorities, through J. M. Ieldy,
administrator of charities, are making
things warm In Washington.
Mrs. W. R. Adams of the Visiting
Nurses' association, attracted Mr. Leldy's
attention to the case of James H.
Bracken, 231? South Twenty-first street
who contracted tuberculosis while serv
ing his seoond enlistment In the navy.
At the federal hospital at Bremerton,
Wash., navy physicians urged him to ap
ply for discharge papers and get a pen
sion. This was done several months ago.
and Pracken came to Omaha to live
with a sister-lnlaw. Now he Is deprived
of hospital rare and his salary and la not
getting his pension.
Mr. Leidy has written to Congressman
Iobeck asking lilm to hasten things
along, and Mr. Loteck has already started
unwinding the "tape."

RAILROADS TRIM
0MAHA0NCE MORE
This Time it is Discriminating' in
Faror of Kansas City in Sum
mer Tourist Rates.
REASON FOR SUCH IS PUZZLE
Once again has Omaha been
handed the well known triple cross
by the .railroads. This time It Is
a rase of discrimination In tourist
passenger rates.
In the recent lineup of tourist
rates by the Western Passenger as
sociation a manifest example of dis
crimination against Omaha In favor
of Kansas City is found. During
the approaching tourist season the
round trip rate between Kansas City
and Chita go on business east of Chi
cago will be $18.10. The short line
between Kansas City and Chicago
is a distance of 4 51 miles.
On the same class of business the
round trip rate between Omaha and
Chicago is l?4.10. The short line between
Omaha and Chicago la a dlstano of 458
mllos.
Over Three Dollars More.
Thus'parties going east out of Omaha
on tourists' rates will pay IS.60 more on
their round-trip tickets than those going
east out of Kansas City, although the
distance from Omaha to Chicago Is only
thirty-six miles greater than the dis
tance between Kansas City and Chicago.
A similar discrimination against Omaha
applies on westbound passenger business
out of Chicago.
For instance from Chicago to San Fran
cisco and return the rate Is 172 50. From
Omaha the round-trip rate is 160. Thus
a passenger buying a round-trip ticket
from Chicago pays $12.50 for that part of
the Journey between Chicago and Omaha
and back again. From Omaha west there
Is no corresponding reduction.
Another discrimination against Omaha
applies to southern business. Recently
the railroads made a round trip rate
of S.11 from Kansas City to Jacksonville,
Fla. On the same date the rate to Jack
sonville from Omaha was $50.68. notwith
standing that the round trip rate between
Omaha and Kansas City without any re
duction at all is $8 81. On thla occasion
Kansas City had an advantage of nearly
$10 over Omaha on Florida business.
No I.oarlcal Reason.
Omaha passenger officials can advance
no reason whatever for this evident dis
crimination. It la merely the result of
arbitrary rulings by the Western Pas
senger association which makes Kansas
City a rcte basing point and Ignores
Omaha. Rates applying to Omaha are
made with Chicago as a basing point.
Why Kansas City should be a rate
basing point and why Omaha Is not is
a mystery to the local passenger traffic
men that apparently has no solution be
yond the fact that It seems to be a
popular pastime of the railroad men to
hang the triple cross sign on Omaha in
favor of Kansas City every time an op
portunity presents Itself.
Twelve Miles of . ,
Window Front in
Stores of Omaha
A ten or twelve-mile front Is some front
even for a battle Una In a big war.
A ten or twelve-mile front la Just what
the specially decorated windows of the
retail stores of Omaha are to have for
the "Week of Wonderful Windows."
Which opens the evening of March 90.
Thla Is probably more display space
than any other community In the United
States possesses.
In actual feet, Omaha has 60,000 to 60,000
running feet of window display space.
This does not mean square feet, but it
means feet of frontage for display pur
poses. m

MILLS CAPTURES
EXPERT RAISER
Splits and Doctors Genuine Bills to
Give Them Much Higher
Denomination.
AND HE HAS HORNY HANDS
A $50 bill and a 15 bill were con
verted Into $100 by Mike Pit
tentccshto by a new and original
process.
Mike was trailed and captured by
Hugh Mills of Omaha, government
secret service agent. The capture
took place In Des Moines and Plt
tenlccshlo Is now In Jail under
$5,000 bond. 1
The man did his work with an artistic
finish worthy of a more honest end.
He took a genuine ' $60 bill and split
the face from the back. Then he took a
genuine $S bill and split Its face from its
back. Next he pasted the $B back on the
back of the $50 face. He took certain
other figures and letters from certain
other bills of small denomination and
pasted rnem In proper places on the $6
back In order to make it look like the
real bark of his $50 bill.
Then he took the back of the genuine
$no bill and pasted it on the back of his
real $6 bill and "doctored" it up with a
few figures and lettera cut from other
genuine bills.
By this process he made about $40 on
each transaction. He passed six of the
bills before Mills captured him, together
with his whole outfit. He is a big-handed
fellow with stubby fingers and calloused
palms, says Mills, and apparently little
fitted to do the wonderfully delicate
work involved in splitting hills apart and
fitting them together with paste.

General Pershing's
Son is at Lincoln
The following, clipped from the society
columns of the Lincoln Star, gives some
interesting Information about the pa
thetic little figure of Warren Pershing,
the sole survivor of the family of Gen
eral Pershing, when Warren's mother
and little sisters were burned to death
in the Presidio fire early last winter:
"Miss Mary Pershing returned Thurs
day from San Antonio, where she went
about six months ago to be with her
brother. General John L.. Pershing. She
decided to return to Lincoln while Gen
eral Pershing is away on his trip into
Mexioo. where he has been sent to pursue
Francisco Villa. She brought with her
General Pershing's son. Warren, who will
remain with his aunts. Mrs. D. M. But
ler and Mlsa Pershing. Miss Pershing
ays that many of the wives of the
officers are leaving Ban Antonio, while
the men are on duty In the field."
