The fuel committee at Omaha have
decided that owing to the close of the
strike and the prospect of relief from
the conditions prevailing in the fuel
situation it will he possible to allow a
greater consumption of fuel than
has been enjoyed for the past two
weeks. This decision was followed

city.
The street oar service will he in

service sufficient to care for the in
creasing crowds will bo commenced
on Sunday as indicated by t tie order
of the street railway company.
The sudden change in the position
taken by the Omaha fuel committee
is without any explanation as on
Thursday they had adopted a stand
against any modification of the regu
lations but have apparently received
information that has made the out
look better than for some time.
Locallv there hac heen no change in
the situation as to the fuel regula
tions as the committee does not feel
that the condition of the fuel situa
tion here warrants any change for a
few days at loast. Fortunately there
has been no suffering among the
residents of the city as a result of the
coal shortage as the use of wood has
assisted in taking care of the short
age to a great extent.
It is hoped that the present week
will alio wa resumption of the nor
mal conditions as regards churches,
theaters and retail stores of the city
as well as dances and other social
gatherings in the city and the city
will be able to go on usual holiday
aspect which has been checked by
the early closing and conservation of
electric light and power.
FUNERAL OF ADAM
KAFFENBERGER
Old Resident of City Laid to Rest in
Oak Hill Cemetery After Services
at St.- Paul's Evangelical Church.
MAKES WORK HARD.
t
lrorn Saturday's Dally.
One of the chief sufferers in the
way of increased labor and trouble as
the result of the coal shortage is
Hans Seivers. custodian rf the court
hotif'e. In the days when everybody
had plenty of fuel to keep them
warm and had no early closing hours
or lightless nights to make their
existence one of trouble and care.
Mr. Seivers was able to keep the
court house nice and warm and look
after his work of keeping the
various offices clean. Now it is
a hard struggle to keep the building
warm with wood and keeps Hans
at the furnace all day shoving in
the cord wcod into the hungry jaws
of the fire box and it is a hard strug
gle to keep up the temperature i
of the building. On top of this he j
has his usual work in the different of
fices to look after and you tell 'em ;
there are no restful minutes in the
job nowadays. i
From Saturday's Daily.
Yesterday afternoon the funeral
services of the late Adam Kaffen
berger were held at the St. Paul's
Evangelical church and despite the
bitter cold weather prevailing over
the city and vicinity, a large num
ber of the old friends and neighbors
gathered to pay their last tribute
of love and respect to the memory
of the kind father and loving friend
who had been taken so suddenly
from their midst. The services at
the church were In charge of Rev.
Robert Kunsendorf, pastor of the
Eight Mile Grove Evangelical
church who officiated owing to the
illness of Rev. J. H. Steger. the pas
tor of St. raul's church. The min
ister spoke of life of the departed,
of his death that has brought to the
family a profound grief and to those
who mourn the death of the good
man the minister spoke words of
comfort. At the close of the service
the body was borne to Oak Hill cem
etery where it was laid to rest.
OBJECTS TO STATE
MENTS IN PAPER
Rector of St. Luke's Episcopal Church
of This City Explains Posi
tion of Church.
From Saturday's Dallv.
The article appearing in the Jour
nal on Wednesday evening in re
gard to the organization of a com
mittee cf bishops of the Episcopal
church in a form which was termed
the "Vatican" of the church, has led
the rector of the local Episcopal
church. Rev. V. S. Lette. to place
the matter in the proper light be
fore the public in the following let
ter: .
Plattsmouth. Dec. 13, 1919.
Mr. Robert A. Bates.
Editor of the Journal.
My dear Mr. Bates;
In your paper of Wednesday even
ing there was an article concerning
the Episcopal church which was far
from being true. I am attaching no
blame to you for of course it "was
copied from some other paper. I
believe that it was in the Omaha Bee.
I desire to say that the Episcopal
! church Is as far from aping Rome
as America is from aping some for
eign power. She has no intention of
having either Vatican, cardinals or a
pope. She Is still as American as she
was in the days when a majority of
the signers of the declaration of in
depdendence were here loyal sons. It
seems sad that irresponsible reports
or an enemy should be allowed to dis
seminate such news.
What took place at Detroit was to
create an executive body which
should have authority to control
church affairs between the meetings
of the general convention, which
meets only once in three years. So
a new lavr was passed by both houses
creating an executive council to take
under its single control the affairs
administered heretofore by the board
of missions, the general board of re
ligious education and the joint com
mission of social service.
The Episcopal church is trying her
best, by the grace of God. to line up
with the times in which we live,
hence this new council and many
other advances for the cause.of Jesus
Christ and His church.
I shall be very gateful if you will
publish this letter, and am always
thankful to you for the many courte
sies extended me.
With every kind wish, believe me,
my dear Mr. Bates.
Your friend.
WILBUR S. LEETE.
Rector St. Luke's Episcopal church.

Washington, Dec. 12. While ac
cepting the government's proposal for
the settlement of the bituminous coal
strike, mine operators of the central
Pennsylvania district declared in a
statement today that the settlement
is "no settlement at all of the princi
ples as stake in the controversy," and
that "it is merely a postponement of
a showdown, which is our opinion is
bound to come."
The method proposed for settling
the strike by Fuel Administrator Gar
field, the statement said, "was inter
fered with by government officials
who knew little of the situation"
with the result that the "operators
and public have been delivered into
the hands of the United Mine Work

From Saturday's Dan.
The scenes on the business streets
of the city today seemed reminders
of the days gone by when the chief
means of travel was by means of the
horse and bob sled. A large number
of the residents of the districts ad
jacent to the city were in and
brought the families along with them
all comfortably seated in the large
and roomy bob sleds. It has been so
long since any thing of this kind
has been seen on the streets that it
attracted a great deal of attention
and the hitching posts and the livery
barn were well patronized by the
farmers with their teams.
OMAHA
For the benefit of the Automobile Travelling PubHc
who are continually calling us to inquire "How are the
Auto Roads to Omaha?''
We will state that very few people who drive automo
biles realize the fact that a snow road well broken and
packed is better than the average summer roads, which
are usually either toe dusty or too muddy for comfortable
travelling.
For the past few weeks our snow roads have been
splendid and until Monday night of this week there has
been a large amount of automobile travel thru Plattsmouth.
Since the snow fall of Monday the roads have been
opened up again and travel has again been resumed be
tween Plattsmouth and Omaha and surrounding towns.
Another day or so will make the roads ideal for au
tomobile travel.
Get out. your Sedan, Coupe or your Touring car with
its side curtains up and convince yourselves that automo
bile driving over the snow roads is perfectly practical
and highly enjoyable.
We will try and keep the Public informed on the
road conditions.
