STILL TALK OF MORRIS BANkI Stock subscriptions Rre already being taken by the men back of the movement for a remedial loan as sociation In Omaha, which is to fur nish small loans In a way to relieve the small borrowers from the clutches of the loan sharks that have preyed upon them for years. A definite organization has not yet been formed, and no stock, has as yet been paid in. It is expected that definite steps to organize will be taken within a week by the elec tion of temporary officers at least. Those heading the movement are Paul Kuhns. William Adair. F. S. Knapp, Wilbur L. Burgess, Dr. Ira Torter, W. K Palmatlcr. 1. W. Carpenter, A. V. Stryker and J. B. rainier. The company will probably be Incorporated for $100,000. In the meantime there is still some talk of tho organisation of a Morris Plan bank In Omaha to serve a similar Bervlce. Rep resentatives of the parent Morris Plan bank In New York are still in the city iolns some work, and a meeting was held a few days ago by some of the local man Interested In this plan, when the representatives, kinder, and West, were present. Following this meeting, how ever, no Information was given out as to what is the present status of this move ment in the light of the activity of the remedial loan people. C. George, who favors the Morris Plan bank, said If the remedial loan people get started right he will not hesi tate to take stock with them, even though he la championing the Morris Plan sys tem at present. Seats for Grand Are Selling Fast Requests for seat reservations for the coming short season of grand opera at the Auditorium, April 13 and 14, by the Boston Grand Opera company and tho Pavlowa Imperial Ballet Russe, have been sent In steadily by letter and tele phone ever since the announcement of this extraordinary engagement Although the regular seat sale was advertised not to start until April 4, through a mis understanding, about $1,000 worth of tick ets had been disposed of before local Manager Pry or discovered that seats were even on sale. "Well," said Pryor. when Informed of the error, "1 hate to turn down real cash, keep it up, fill all orders whether made in person by phone or by mail." and as a result up to Thursday noon $2,800 worth of tickets had been sold, and- that nearly a month before ihe opera. In asking Manager Franke and phoning ex-Manager Glllan of the Audi torium, both stated that In their experi ence a large advance sale so long before the aoual performance had never oc curred in their time. A considerable number of people have made requests for seats the night Felice Lyne sings. As Miss Lyne was a Kansus City girl, many of our prominent folks are very familiar with her singing. Mrs. A. Ia Mohler phoned for seats and stated that she hoped Miss Lyne would sing in the cast of "La Boheme," for she said that she had many times heard this rh&rmlnsr innrann alnr solos from that opera and could hardly wait to hear her sing the entire role. Mr. Pryor had not at that time received the casts, so he wired for particulars and finds that MUs Lyne will sing "Mlml" In "La Boheme." Other members of the cast of that opera will be Musetta-Ollvet Marcel, Rodolfo Godenzl, Marcello-Thomas Chalmers, Col-lene-Jose Mardones, with Moranzonl .31 rcctlng, following by the Spanish dances with Pavlowa, A. Vollnlne and the entire corps de bellet with Adoph Schmidt di recting for the ballet. 1 p Nels J.
