ENOUGH OF CARNIVAL LIFE
Omaha Arthur. thirteen, and
Harvey, eleven, sons of Mr. and Mrs
James Yost, Omaha, who ran away
from home a week ago last Sunday,
to join a carnival troupe, were found
Friday, tired and hungry, on a down
town street. They ran away to learn
more about the. life of which their
father, an ex-trouper, had told them.
They worked at the lot a week, while
the company played in Omaha, and
managed to keep out of sight of po
licemen. .
Harvey pumped water for the octo
pus and Arthur racked balls. But
when the company moved to Sioux
City last Sunday the management
decided that the boys were too young
to take along. Since then they had
had a hard time getting along. They
slept just wherever they happened to
be. They hadn't eaten for two days
and when found Friday by Officer
were trying to bum
breakfast money. They returned home
gradly.

united Wednesday in welcoming the
three French trans-Atlantic aviators,
Jean Lotti. Rene Iefevre and Arm

of official reception. The young
American stowaway on the flight of
the Yellow Bird, Arthur Schreiber,
of Portland. Me., was absent from
all the ceremonies.
The only reference made to the
now downcast stowaway was in the
senate, where Senator Gaston Me
nier, president of the aviation com
mittee said: "Were Schreiber here
I should tell him 'we forgive you
because of your youth and your
American nationality. "
President Doumergue kept the
aviators at the palace of the Elys
see, the French white bouse, for
more than half an hour. He also
evinced the keenest interest in the
narrative of their ocean trip and was
particularly interested in Assolant's
explanation of the difficulties caused
him in taking off by the extra weight
of the stowaway.
The president spoke kindly of
Schrieber and said "I hope the poor
little chap will not ket into trouble
over this."

Intangible Returns From Four Coun

Over Year Ago.
Lincoln, June 21. That Nebras
kana generally seem to be enjoying
greater prosperity than they did a
year ago, appears evident in a sum
mary on intangible tax reports from
four counties compiled Friday by
Tax Commissioner Scott.
I The counties in question. Frank
lin, Keith, Keya Paha and Sherman,
report a total increase of $2,432,360

gibles over their 1928 returns. This
includes a "decrease of $5,260, In the
latter class, reported by Keya Paha

In their reports on tangibles, all
ot the four counties show substantial
increase again with the exception of
.the above county which again shows
a $43,500 decrease.
More Cattle ana Lars.
While the four counties concern
ed will probably represent a cross
section of other counties of their size,
the total figure will be materially
'. enhanced when the report from all
of the larger counties is completed.
Mr. Scott declared.
i Tn the renort are some interesting
figures showing that there are more
cattle on farms and ranches, many
more autos, and a higher valuation
and consistent increase in the num
ber of hogs and the amount of
wheat.

NO OFFENSE AGAINST LAW
In support of his claim that
Judge Rroady erred when he re
fused to grant a writ of habeas
corDus that would have freed War
ren Harmer from the state reform
atory. Attorney Livingston of Ne
braska City, tiled with the supreme
court a brief setting out the facts
and the reasons for ordering the
young man's release. Harmer had
pleaded guilty in Cass county to
breaking and entering a filling sta
tion, last September, and was given
from one to two years.
Mr. Livingston says that there is
no law on the statute books that
makes breaking and entering a fill
ing station a crime, and that the
fact that Harmer pleaded guilty to
the charge docs not rob him of the
right to seek release under a void
information. He insists that in an
information for burglary the build
ing broken into must be described
in the terms of the statute, and there
in lies nothing about filling stations.
He insists that this is the uni
versal law with reference to infor
mations. The supreme court of
Louisiana held that a garage is not
the equivalent of the word shop
used in the statutes of that state,
while the Missouri supreme court
held that as breaking and entering
a barn is not an offense under the
laws of that state U could not be
included in any of the buildings de
scribed in the statute.

Says Publication of Stories of Stock
Dealings Are an Effort to
Blacken Him.
Washington. June 20. Depicting
the publication of accounts of his
ptock transactions as an effort to
weaken his influence on the eve of
the Virginia political campaign,
Bishop James Cannon, jr., said in a
statement today that he has engaged
in various kinds of business trans
actions for 40 years.
His name was carried in news
stories from TCew York yesterday as
having been among those who had
accounts with Kable & Co., a New
York stock firm which had filed a
petition of bankruptcy.
"Why, out of all the countless
millions of stock transactions during
the past two years, have those in
my name been selected for comment
by Senator Glass, the New York
Evening World, and now other se
cular papers?" he asked.
"Certainly the times selected for
the attacks during the national
campaign last fall and now the be
ginning of the Virginia campaign
are sufficient proof of the real mo
tive underlying the threatening
telegrams last October and the publi
cations of today.
The resort to mud slinging, the
effort to besmirch my character, and
to weaken my influence by publish-
ing to the world that I have pur
chased and sold stock indicates the
desperation of the enemy and de-
serves the contempt of all decent men
and women." World-Herald
