The members of the South Side
police force at Omaha had an excit
ing chase on Tuesday afternoon when
in pursuit of an auto driven by Bert
Coleman of this city. Statements by
the officers were that a pursuit of
some two miles through the south
section of Omaha to the outskirts of
the city was covered by the car of
Mr. Coleman and the pursuing offi
fprs and the end of the chase was
only when the officers fired on the
car, injuring the tires of the coie
mnn machine. It is claimed that the
Coleman car struck two other cars
'and which caused the radio alarm to
out out by the police department
and the officers sent on the trail of
.he car. One of the parties claiming
to have had his err damaged was the
j man that had just completed the
i irork of installing radios in the po
Uce cars and which served to guide
the Officers in tneir pursuit. Ac
cording to the local man their car
way struck by the auto of F. J. Staf
fer at 2Sth and Wright street, in
stead of them striking Staffer and
that Staffer had been able to drive
his car away from the scene of the
accident and Mr. Coleman had gone
on his way also. They had driven at
a good rate of speed as it was expect
ed that Staffer would make a com
plaint to the police and as they were
anxious to return home did not wish
to be delayed longer than necessary.

Who are the best young Bingers in
Cass county?
Opportunity is offered them to
shine in 25,000 in cash and to ob
tain scholarships in some great
American ( onservatory of music or
under a world renowned teacher
through organization in Plr.ttsmouih
for the Fifth National Radio Audi
tion. During the four years that this
nation-wide competition to determ
ine the best young men and young
women singers in the United States
has been conducted by the Atwater
Kent Foundation of Philadelphia,
more than liiO.000 youthful song
birds have been given an opportun
ity to demonstrate their talents.
This year a number greater than in
any previous year is expected, and
every village, town and city in the
country is hastening its plans for
local auditions. One young man and
one young woman, between the ages
of IS and 25, will be selected by
competition in each city or commun
ity. These will be entered in a st::te
audition, from which the winning
voung man and young woman will
jgo to represent their state in a dis
trict audition, of which there will
be five. From each district, a young
man and young woman will be seloi t
!ed to contest in the national finals
to be held in New York in Decem
!ber. This competition will be broad
cast frcm coast to coast. All win
ners of district auditions will re
ceive substantial rewards, determin
ed in accordance with their rating
in the national finals. These award!
are:
Winners of first place (one boy
and one girli, $5,000 each and two
years' tuition in an American con
, servatory.
Winners of second place,
(each and one year's tuition,
i Winners of third place,
each and one year's tuition.
Winners of fourth place,
each and one year's tuition.
Winners of fifth place.
each and one year's tuition.
"I believe we are building for the
future in searching out talented
young singers for that great medium
of culture and entertainment
Radio," said A. Atwater Kent, presi
dent of the Foundation bearing his
name, in making the announcement
today. "The discovery of one of
those rare voices, of which each gen
eration produces a few, seems to me
an event of profound national im
portance. Even when such a voice
could give pleasure to only a few
thousand people it was a national
treasure. Now that millions may en
joy it through the medium of radio,
such a voice becomes priceless. So.
just as a good voice is a divine gift,
radio offers opportunity to share
that gift with the greatest number.
"In previous auditions conducted
by the Atwater Kent Foundation, our
records show contestants have come
back the second, third and even a
fourth time, after losing out in a first
attempt. This should be encouraging
to all who have taken part in prev
ious contests. The National Radio
Audition is an undertaking to search
the entire country for beautiful
voices and to offer such singers ful
opportunity for development, recog
nition and reward. We hope eacli
community in the country will re
ceive the announcement of the Fifth
National Audition in the spirit in
which it is thus made and will pre
sent its candidates for state and na
tional honors."

Dc:? Moines, la.. May 5. The Iowa
supreme court today ruled that the
proposed constitutional amendment
to permit issuance of 100 million
dollars primary road bends is in
valid. The suit to test the legality of the
measure was brought before the court
in April on appeal from a Polk coun
ty court ruling in favor of the amend
ment. The amendment, passed by the
l2J and 1931 legislatures, provided
for issuance of the bonds despite the
constitutional section requiring that
state indebtedness must be paid by a
direct tax levy. The road bonds, un
der the amendment, could be priid by
motor license fees, gasoline tax, and
similar indirect revenue.
Three Justices signed a dissenting
(pinion. Six signeil the majority
opinion.
Attorneys for H. N. Mathews of
Ottumwa who brought the suit at
tacked the amendment on the ground
that it contains more than one sub
ject, in violation of the provision in
the constitution that each amend
ment shall be submitted separately to
the voters. Nine amendments actual
ly are bound up in the one proposi
tion, they ontended. depriving the
voters of the right to faor sonic por
tions and object to others.
The case was brought in accord
ance with a law passed by the recent
general assembly permitting the su
preme court to issue declaratory op
inions. Under previous statutes, the

action could not have been started
until after the voters approved the
amendment, a special election for
that purpose having been called for
June IS. It was estimated that,
should the court hold the amendment
unconstitutional, "00 thousand dol
lars would be saved by not holding
