doors, along the White river in the
rugged Ozark mountains. They were
at the town of Branson, where Mr

thing grows, but for picturesque
beauty, the place is unsurpassed by
anything' he has ever seen. They
spent some time there and also were

Lincoln and
Omaha Banks
Ask Hearing
Oppose Court's Rule Governing De
posit of Public Funds in Buf
falo County Case.
Eight Omaha and two Lincoln
banks have asked and received per
mission as friends of the court to file
additional briefs and submit argu
ment as friends of the court on the
motion for a rehearing of the case
of County Treasurer Shambaugh of
Buffalo county vs. the City Bank of
Elm Creek, a suit involving banking
practices and customs. They have
been granted until Sept. 20 by Chief
Justice Goes to file briefs and argu
ment.
The Omaha hanks applying for this
permission are the First National,
United States National, Stockyards
National. Packers National, Livestock
National, Union State bank and the
State Bank of Omaha. The Lincoln
banks applying are the First Nation
al and Continental National.
The applicants allege that the
opinion of the court establishes rules
relating to dealings of banks with
county treasurers which modify and
change the relations of these parties'
established by custom and usage for
many years, and bo construes the
laws as to make it impossible or at
least extremely hazardous for banks
to have any dealings whatever with
county treasurers with respect to
public funds. The banks signing the
motion say they are not interested in
the outcome of this litigation but
are vitally interested in the rules of
law established.
The suit was one by the county
board of Bualo to hold the City bank
of Elm Creek responsible for a $5,000
deposit which the country treasurer
Is alleged to have intended to make
by Issuing a check May 11, 1927. It
was drawn upon the Farmers State
bank of Kearney, a county deposi
tory, in favor of the Elm Creek bank,
also a depository, and there were
ample funds in the bank upon which
it was drawn to pay and cover the
amount.
DODGING THE ISSUE
The automobile has brought much
pleasure to the American people. But
it has also brought one of our most
serious problems. Every 'year thou
sands of people are killed and maim
ed in automobile accidents of various
sorts. The majority of the casualties
result from carelessness and incompe
tence. There are few unavoidable
accidents.
It would seem a simple matter tojities is athletics, supervised by Roy
enforce adequate driving laws, and Henderson, athletic director. Foot-
when tried, it has proven that this
reduces the accident rate. It would
seem equally simple to withhold cp-
eratlng licenses from persons too ig
norant or too incompetent to drive a
car with ordinary ability. Yet w
go out of the way for our cures and
produce such legislative, boomerangb
as compulsory liability insurance.
And, in the meantime, while such
panaceas dismally fail, the death re
cord mounts.
We are a careless people in many
was's. And our lack of safety con
sciousness causes untold wate in
lives and property. Until we follow
the obvious course and teach preven
tion, modernize traffic laws and bar
the reckless and incompetent from
the highways, the toll of automobile
deaths will mount.

BUCKETSH0PS ARE RAIDED
Chicago Raiding of two reputed
bucketshops by state's attorneys
forces Thursday was described by
Chief Investigator Patrick Roche as
the start of a campaign to rid Chi
cago of mushroom "brokerage" rms,
preying on unsuspecting investors.
The places raided were J. F. Dowd
& Co. and Hamilton, King & Co. At
the latter, Roche said, officers found
"sucker lists" composed of persons
within a 100 mile radius outside the
city, who were described as "worth
more than $5,000." Numerous prom
inent persons were included.
J. F. Dowd, head of one of the
raided firms, said that he had for
merly been employed by Hamilton,
King & Co., but that the situation
there had "begun to look bad" and
he had been advanced $1,000 to open
a new office. He estimated Hamil
ton, King & Co. had profited $125,
000 in the four months it had oper
ated.
The two companies operated exten
sively in Illinois, Indiana and Mich
igan, not overlooking even the small
est community where some one with
$5,000 or more might live. Roche as
serted.

Winefordner, Sioux City, la., of the
Ninety-fourth pursuit squadron, Self
ridge Field, Mich., was killed here
late Thursday when his CurtiB pur
puit plane crashed as he was taking
off on his return flight to Selfridge

Hudy, flew here from Selfridge field
to take part in the dedication cere
monies of the Lemon municipal air
port.
Following the ceremonies they took
off for Sioux Falls, S. D., where they
planned to spend the night. As they
did so Winefordner's ship rose to a
height of about 300 feet and crash
ed to the ground.
School League
of Texas Links
Many Activities
Literary and Athletic Contests De
cided in Finals at State
Capital.
Austin, Tex. Printing presses
have been busy grinding out more
than 1,000,000 pieces of literature
this summer for distribution among
high schools and lower schools of
Texas. There are spelling bulletins,
.constitutions and rules, debate bul
letins and others relating to music,
art and arithmetic.
This gives Just an inkling of the
enormous task the University of
Texas lnterscholastic League with
headquarters at Austin undertakes in
correlating interscholastic activities
of 250,000 school children. The huge
ness of the task is in keeping with
the broad expanse of the Lone Star
State.
Under the guidance of Roy Bedi-
jchek, director, who took charge in
1917, the league has attained us
place of great usefulness. Formed
in 1911, as a debating league with
28 member schools, the organization
had enrolled 5258 ! schools in the
varied competitions of 1928-29. It
merged with the Interscholastfc As
sociation of Texas in 1913. Today it
runs the whole gamut of school ac
tivities, from oratory to athletics,
operating as part of the university's
extension division. .
Travel Expense Equalized.
Literary competition is promoted
all over the State' in planed con
tests, such as debate, extemporane
ous speech, essay writing, declama
tion, spelling, music memory, arith-
-metlr
and art memory.
I A second large division of activ-
ball, tennis, and track contests are
(staged yearly in large . and small
classes. Final winners are recognized
as official State champions.
Each county sets up its separate
organization at the teachers' insti
tute meeting each fall. A county in
terscholastic league organization is
formed which is affiliated with the
State organization. Each school pays
$1 to $8 membership fee, depending
on the size of the institution
This money is sent to the Austin
office where it placed in a rebate
fund, to reimburse athletes who
come to various State contests. This
largely equalizes traveling expenses
and distances, and is chiefly respon
sible for the success of the league
The rebate fund idea is regarded as
one of Mr. Bedichek's noteworthy ac
complishments.
Community Interest Keen.
District meets are held in April
and winners are sent to the big state
meeting in Austin, held early in May
Annually more than 700 athletes and
400 literary event winners assemble
here for final state champion con
test, the contenders weeded out from
thousands of school children through
the long series of elimination con
tests
"The Interscholastic League is the
greatest agency in Texas for com-
munitr-wide gatherings." Mr. Bedi
chek says. Crowds of 10,000 to 15,000
yearly congregate in some of the
larger Texas counties for the two
days of events.
A state press meeting is held year
ly, also an annual typing contest.
Each month, the league publishes the
Interscholastic Leaguer, a newspaper
.of 16.000 circulation which blankets
the State.
Forty states in the Union have or
ganizations similar to Texas Inter
scholastic League, though none per
haps, are on so. comprehensive a
scale.
SMITH SAYS STJEPEISED
New York, Sept. 5.- Former Gov

Huge Wieliczka Mines in Galicia
Yield 70,000 Tons cf
Salt Annually
Wieliczka, Galicia The English
language made a Budden descent on
this little Galician town one day this
summer and for a brief space1 Ehared
the honors with Polish almost on a
50-50 basis.
The explanation? A large party of
Polish-Americans, carrying miniature
Stars and Stripes, had come on pleas
ure bent to see the famous salt
mines here. It so happened that their
arrival coincided with the visit of
a party of journalists, among them
a representative of The Christian
Science Monitor, touring Poland as
the guests of the Polish Government.
So the party of exploration became
a cosmopolitan tjne.
1 ne vv leiiczKa sail mines are one
of the sights of Europe. They have
been the property of the State for at
least 700 years. Most of -the galleries
on the lower levels have long been
closed, but today some 75.000 tons of
salt are mined yearly in its 350 miles
of corridors, while 1600 workmen
find employment there. The main
business of the mine, however, is
the tourist industry. Thousands of
people each year pay tut money to
see it.
Carved From Salt
Entrance to the mine is by a kind
of double cage, each half lighted by
a single candle. A dozen persons
may handly crowd into the upper
part of the cage, another dozen may
be cajoled into the lower. The doors
are clamped, there is a sudden rush
of hot air that grows cooler and
cooler, darkness crowds in, the
candle goes 'out, and the next thing
the tourist knows he is some 600 feet
lower than when he started, and the
journey is only begun.
At the bottom of the shaft waits
a little cnapei witn altars ana a
puplit all sculptured in salt. It has
been there since 1691, and still looks
as fresh as if it was carved yester
day. A turn or two along the winding
salt-flanked corridors, high enough
for a man to stand upright, and a
strain of distant music catches the
ear. Tne music grows louuer anu
louder, and then suddenly the vistor
looks down on the eighth wonder of
the world.
He is in a narrow gallery at one
end of a huge vaulted hall. On a
platform 30 feet below in midair Is
brass band blaring into spac.
Suspended from the room are great
candelabra, bearing countless elec
tric globes. More globes of many
colors cluster round the walls. On
the right, a long staircase filled with
an unending stream of people, goes
unendingly down into a gray mist
difficult to penetrate.
Filled With Sightseers
Presently the eye discovers that
the hall is a chapel packed with a
slowly ebbing crowd of sightseers.
The colored lights round the side3
betoken little shrines. Once a year on
Christmas Eve a service is held there.
Candelabra, shrines, altars, carvings,
are all of salt, some transparent like
glass, some cloudy like white amber.
Every point throw? back a sparkle.
Next the visitor comes to a sub
terranean lake, Przykos by name,
one of 6 which disappear into
blackness alongside the well-lighted
corridors. Near by is another, huge
hall supported by a great pillar of
salt; in another place is an arch of
salt which may be used as a bridge.
More music by the same band heard
in the chapel. Further on still more
music is heard, no less than a jazz
band. On the floor m front of it and
in a room hollowed out of solid salt,
hundreds cf couples join in the
dance.
Further on. visitors are taken to
the part of the mine where work
actually goes on today. In olden times
the salt was secured by means of
quaint wooden tools, some of which
have been preserved; but today pneu
matic drills are employed
The party picked up souvenirs of
its visit and made its way back to
the mouth of the shaft. Much squeez
ing into the cages, more clamping of
doors, and then a rush of cool dark
ness that grew hotter, less inky and
brighter, until with a jerk the ex
plorers were disgorged into the glare
of day.
REMAND ST. LE30EY BANKER
St. Paul. Neb. Edward Buhrman,
cashier of the defunct St. Libory
State bank, was remanded to the
Howard county jail here Friday at
the request of bondsmen, when fur
ther discrepancies in the record of
the bank were revealed. Buhrman
was released from jail several weeks
ago under $10,000 bond, provided
by Howard county residents.
Following his release, Buhrman
moved to Grand Island where, it is
said, he was employed, at manual
labor. Since going to Grand Island
he has changed his residence three
or four times and this, it is said,
caused some suspicion among bonds
men. "
Further check up of accounts dis
closed a $2,000 deposit Buhrman
had marked paid but which had
never been paid. He admitted guilt.
This brings his shortage up to about
$54,000. Unless he can obtain bond,
which appears, unlikely, Burhman
will be retained-in jail here until
fall jury term begins Oct. 2S.

EARLY WHITER IN WYOMING
Cheyenne An advance showing of
the winter styles in the state of Wyo
ming Friday with snow ranging from
a trace to fourteen inches, a con
tinuation of the fall in prospect of
freezing temperatures reported from
several sections. Motor traffic was

outlying districts and score of au
tomobiles were stalled.
Five inches of snow fell in Cas
per in a six hour period. The storm
approached blizzard proportions be
tween Rock Springs and Pendale.
Snow was holding westbound air mail
planes in Cheyenne and Laramie.
Ships were unable to get over the
treacherous Sherman hill, Nemesis of
aviators of poor visibility and low
ceiling.
Cheyenne was experiencing Its
earliest snowfall within memory.
Telephone service was out of commis

Other planes were forced down at
Pueblo Friday night and traffic by
automobiles over several mountain
passes was chacterized as dangerous
