Aviation history was made by the new German dirigible, the Hindenburg, when the giant craft that
took off from Friedrichshafen, Germany via England to Lakehurst, N. J., carrying 51 passengers,
landed at its destination early this morning. The trip was made in a new record time of 60 hours.

Omaha Protest
Kail Commissioners Return from
Washington Encouraged by Re
sult of Conferences.
Railway Commissioners Drake and
Maupin and Rate Expert Ross have
returned from Washington, where
they contacted members of the inter
state commerce commission and two
of its examiners with respect to re
cent changes in grain rates made in
northeastern and southwestern Ne
braska that were approved without
notice to the Nebraska commission.
Mr. Drake said whatever publicity
would be given to the decisions ar
rived at as a result of their visit
should come from Washington, but
they were greatly pleased with the
reception given their protests and
the assurances that followed of a
readjustment of a portion of these
rates. Slaking of Crookston a key
point on the North Western railway
brought an increase in rates that was
vigorously opposed.

designation of Barton as a key point
and moving a hundred miles east
ward of the Colorado common point
line was shown to be seriously to
the distadvantage of Omaha and in
favor of Denver and Kansas City as
primary wheat markets, and a re
adjustment of this situation is ex
pected to follow the further investi
gation promised. Denver milling in
terests are especially favored by the
existing order, not yet in force, as
their buying territory at a 26 cent
rate is widely extended.
Mr. Drake said his colleague, Mr.
Bollen, was unduly excited over his
appointment as a member of a joint
board with a Kansas commission to
pass on any question involving truck
operations and permits for interstate
truckers. He said that the appoint
ment is not that of co-ordinator,
which pays a good salary, but one of
a number of joint board appoint
ments that will be created from time
to time for like purposes. There is
no salary attached, only expenses be
ing paid, and the appointment lasts
only as long as he remains a member
of the commission.

State Has a
Neat Sum from
Estate Taxes
Total Cash Collections From Resident
Decedents Law of 1929 Re
ports Are Lacking.
"When the Nebraska legislature In
1922 passed a law agreeing on behalf
of the state to accept 80 percent of
the amount collected by the federal
government from estate taxes due
from estates in this state, in lieu cf
passing an act to impose such a tax
of its own, it was not known how
much revenue would be received.
State Auditor Ayres has had Btate
Accountant W. H. Pansing audit the
accounts of Tax Commissioner Smith
and State Treasurer Hall, and Pan-
sing reports that the tax commission
er had collected and turned into the
state treasury a total of $388,624.64;
up to March 4, of this year. Since
then the tax commissioner has re
ceived $24,990.69 which is not shown
in the accountant's report.
Pansing finds that the legislature
authorized a return of $1,849.09 for
an overpayment by the estate of Hans
Peter Anderson of Lincoln, the re
fund being made under a federal
court decision relating to exemptions
of items from the estate tax. This
March 4 to $386,775.55.
refund cut the net collections up to
The largest amount collected from
any one estate was $164,798.50 paid
by the estate of Gilbert H. Hitch
cock, former United States senator
and publisher of Omaha.
The state accountant find that the
present law requiring county judges
to furnish information to the state
tax commission from time to time
with reference to estates pending in
county courts, does not safeguard the
best interests of the state. He says
the state tax commission has to be
continually on the lookout for death
notices in newspapers and write the
various county Judges asking for in
formation. "It seems to me," recommends the
state accountant, "that a more string
ent measure should be imposed upon
the county judges in reference to
reports to the state tax commission
er of deaths of Individuals on whose
estate inheritance taxes are paid to
the county, thereby creating a lia
bility of estate taxes to the state of
Nebraska."
The report of the audit contains
a list of estate taxes collected and
a long list of estates on which no
taxes were due the state because of
the federal exemption of $100,000.
FARMERS READY FOR POWER
Columbus, Neb. Loup River pub

a $391,000 allotment for their proj

tracts provided rates were reasonable,
according to eGn. Mgr. Harold Kra

IN SERIOUS CONDITION
Miss Sarah Stones, residing west
of Mynard, has been in very poor
health for some time and Is now
reported as being in serious condi

friends of Miss Stones will regret to
learn of her illness, but trust that
she may soon be able to have a
change for the better.
Farm-to-Market
Roads Part of
WPA Program
F. Felton, State Administrator,
Tells of Program Being Car
ried Out in State.
"New farm-to-market highways
constructed by the Works Progress
Administration in Nebraska up to
May 1 would equal a highway from
Omaha or Lincoln to Chicago," D. F.
Felton, state WPA administrator, an
nounces. Few Nebraskans realize the
extent of this work which has served
as the largest factor in relieving un
employment in the state, he said.
Mr. Felton called attention to the
fact that this work is primarily a re
lief program and as a result progress
has not been rapid, due to the weath
er conditions of the winter months
During the next two months, more
than again as much construction will
be completed.
Figures for the state show new
construction totals 569 miles, and
repairs and improvements 591 miles
New highways under construction
total 4 CO miles, and repairs and im
provements total 1.113 miles. In mak
ing these improvements, it was
necessary to construct 285 bridges,
and work is now progressing on 95
more. This phase of the Works Pro
gram is - entirely on secondary or
farm-to-market roads and does not
include any federal or state high
ways.
During the first half of April the
Nebraska Administration employed
4,443 persons on 112 highway proj
ects. Wages for these workers totaled
$88,394. Bridges and viaducts on 21
projects employed 382 persons who
were paid $7,475.
In the First district, which consists
of counties in the northeastern and
northern part of the state, 128 miles
of highway have been completed.
This would equal r a highway from
Norfolk to Omaha. Under construction-
In thi3 district are 220 miles
of highway, equal to one road from
Norfolk to Cody, Nebraska.
In the Second district, with Omaha
as headquarters, 106 miles of high
way have been improved, or the equal
of one road from Omaha to Columbus.
Now under construction are 41 miles
of highway, equaling a road from
Omaha to Fremont.-
The Third district, taking In the
southeastern counties, has operated
the largest number of projects for
highway improvement. This district
has completed 300 miles, or the equal
of three highways . from Lincoln . to
Hastings. Now under construction
are sou mnes or .nignway, or me
equal of two roads from Lincoln to
Minneapolis. Two roads in this dis
trict have been surfaced with crush
ed rock. Relief labor has been used
in the quarries in order to obtain
this material at a minimum cost to
the various counties where roads
were constructed.
The Fourth district, consisting of
counties In the central and south
western part of the state, has com
pleted 384 miles of highway. This
would equal one road from Grand Is
land to Cheyenne. Now under con
struction are 404 miles of highway,
or the equal of one stretch of high
way from Grand Island to Denver.
In the Fifth district, consisting of
counties in the western part of the
state, 241 miles of farm-to-market
roads have been completed. This
would equal a highway from Alliance
to Ravenna. Now . under construc
tion are 108 additional miles, or the
equal of a highway from Alliance to
Edgemont, South Dakota.
"The amount of highway construc
tion in a district," Mr. Felton said,
was governed largely by the avail
able relief labor and facilities for
transporting those laborers to use
where construction was needed."
The First district has built 65
bridges and SO are now under con
struction. The Third district has
completed 75 bridges, with 20 under
construction. The Republican river
flood, which a year ago caused heavy
damage to bridges in the Fourth dis
trict, was responsible for the building
of 68 of the 125 bridges compleed
in this district. 33 more are now
undar construction. . ;ln the Fifth
district, 20 bridges have been com
pleted and 12 are now under con
struction. MARK KERNS IMPROVING
Mark Kerns, Cass-Otoe WPA su
pervisor, who was operated on for
an accute attack of appendicitis and
was reported In a most serious con
tion earlier in the week, is now said
to be showing considerable improve
ment. District Engineer Batsen was
in town today with a new man who
will handle the Cass-Otoe work dur
ing the time Mark is off the job and
stated Mr. Kerns is now considered
on the road to recovery. ' .

Church Union
Called One Step
in Progress
Methodist Move to Be Only the Be'
ginning of Unification, Con
ference Is Told.
Columbus, O. An opinion that uni
fication of the three branches oT
Methodism would be an initial Htep
toward eventual union of all Pro
testant churches was expressed by
Rev. Ivan Lee Holt of St. Louhi, pres
ident of the Federal Council of
Churches of Christ in America. Mr.
Holt told delegates to the Methodist
Episcopal conference who approved
Methodist unification Monday that
"it is only the beginning of a proc
ess." "Some of the leaders see in the
distance one great protestant church,
such as was formed in Canada," he
said. "Evan beyond the united pro
testantism may come a united Chris
tianity, a union of all protestant
faiths with the great Catholic
churches."
Mr. Holt said that w ith uniilcation
of the Methodist churches ar proved
the "dream we have all had of one
great protestant church comes closer
to realization."
"I rejoice in the action you took
with reference Co" unification, but I
hope there is not a person in the
conference who thinks that is an end
in Itself," he' said. "It is merely the
beginning of a process, and I am
hoping that when that uniting con
ference comes together (to fcrm the
united Methodist church) one of the
things done will be the creation of a
commission to work on plan: for a
still larger protestant union."
The federation president said "We
have come to a time when the evils
in this world are too great for any
sort of a divided church.
"If you want an illustration of
what a united church can do just re
membre when you, like other denom
inations, preached against the evils
of motion pictures and got nowhere,"
he said. "But when the Roman Cath
olic church decided It was time for
reformation the reformation in mo
tion pictures came."
SUPREME COURT
SYSTEM IS PRAISED
Lincoln, May 7. Justice E. F.
Carter, in an address before the Scot
tish Kite organization here Thursday
night, asserted taking of power from
the United States uperemj court
would be tantamount to destruction
of the American form of govern
ment.
The Nebraska supreme court judge
recalled the statement of Senator
George W. Norris of Nebraska that
the people can change the congress,
but only God can change the supreme
court.
"Personally." Carter asserted, "I
thank God that only God can change
the supreme court."
HUGHES SEES NEED
OF MORE JUDGES
Washington, May 7. Additional
federal judges to speed the disposi
tion of litigation were recommended
by Chief Justice Hughes Thursday in
one of his rare speeches.
Addressing the American Law In
stitute, he said that "where delays
are most serious they are due to a
failure to provide an adequate sup
ply of judges to attend to the work
of the courts."
Authorization of additional judges
is a congressional function.
SKELETON IS IDENTIFIED
Trenton, Neb. The skeleton of a
girl found about two miles west of
here by PWA workers was identified
Thursday as that of Mildrei Stone
cipher, 14, who perished in the Re
publican river flood a year ago, in
which about 100 persons were drown
ed. The Stonecipher girl died with her
mother and her cousin, Ethel Black,
when a rescue boat capsized. A shoe
In the sand near the skeleton led to
the discovery.
