THE SUNDAY BEE: OMAHA. JULY 2. 1922.
9-B
Boy, 13, Fatally
Shot in Head as
He Lies on Cot
Another Youth Admit Loan
ing Gun to Friend for
"Fight With Vinton
Street Gang." '
' When Mr. George T. Brocltelsby,
2702 B itrcet, heard a ihot it 7 Sat
urday morning, the thought it was
premature Fourth of July fireworkt
and paid no attention.
.The family dog began barking
furiously.
James BrockcUby, 12, became
curiou and went out to ice.
Me noticed his brother, George,
jr., 13, lying on hit cot on the front
Jiorch where he hat been sleeping
lot nights, but there was blood on
hi forehead.
James ran and told his mother.
Shot in Head.
She saw that George had been
shot in the head. He was uncon
scious. She called Police Surgeon
1 Young.
' George died at 8:30 without regain
ing consciousness.
Police detectives from South Oma
ha headquarters learned the revolver
belonged to Lawrence Clark, 14, 3714
South Twenty-fourth street.
James Brockelsby took the pistol,
j2-ealiber gun, to his mother, say
ing: "I found it on the cot in front
of Georgie." There were two
cartridges in the gun, one exploded.
George was lying on his side.
Imbedded in Brain.
The bullet had pierced the boy's
forehead just above the right eye
and was imbedded in the brain.
The Clark boy, after denying the
gun was his, later told Detectives
Wright and Slezewski he had loaned
the revolver to young George Fri
day afternoon "to protect himself
from a gang fight expected with the
Vinton street gang."
The parents of the dead boy pro
tested, however, that George merely
had borrowed the gun for the Fourth
of July.
Freight Rate Cut
I Effective Sunday
New Schedules Under Inter
state Commerce Commission
Ruling Completed.
Washington, July 1. Freight
rates throughout the United States
on practically all commodities will
be reduced today by 10 per cent
when the carriers of the country put
into effect the decision rendered last
month by the Interstate Commerce
commission in the general rate case.
New schedulea incorporating the re
duction have been completed since
the decision was handed down in
every territory, according to the tom-
orders abrogating rules and regula
tions concerning publication of new
rates and like details were necessary
to prevent delays in some instances.
Agricultural commodities will be
the only important traffic which the
10 per cent cut will affect, rates on
these commodities having been re
duced last January. One or two oth
er classifications of freight have also
been given lower rates by commis
sion orders in recent months, and
these also are excluded from the new
cuts. Railroad statisticians, since the
decision, have worked out the esti
mate that the general rate decision
will cr.-jse a decrease of $350,000,000
annually in the world's freight bill.
Aged Ex-Convict Released
From Jail on Own $500 Bond
John Lynch, alias Goodman 64,

ness to an aged woman dazed in a
maze of traffic at Fourteenth and
Douglas streets Thursday led to his
arrest as a parole violator from Cali
fornia, was released Friday evening
on' his own $500 bond o,n orders
from Chief of Detectives Van
Deusen.
Van Deusen said a telegram had
been received Friday evening from
officials at Folsom prison in Cali
fornia asking that Lynch be held in
Omaha until a letter, on the way,
reached here.
"We decided to give the old man
the freedom of the city until definite
word arrives from California," said
Van Deusen, who was won to sym
pathy for the modern Jean Val Jean
by Detectives English and Gurnett,
who arrested him. "I doubt if he
will be taken back to prison."
Lynch told Omaha officers he had
served 16 years in prison for taking
$1.50 from a companion while on a
drunken spree.

lating to Agricultural and

of During Session.
Wathinffton. Tulv 1. Although
two-thirds of the session was devoted
to cleaning up conference reports so

eight amendments to the agricultural
and food schedules were disposed of,

reals except wheat and rice, consid

20 cents a bushel on corn, an increase
of S cents a bushel over the house
rate. The bloc recommended Hi
cents to the finance committee ma
jority early in the year, but the com

ever, the committee reversed itself
and recommended the higher rate.

It is quite easy to include all the rooms you want in a rauMing, wide
spread hojise. Such a house is easy to plan, but very expensive to build.
That is the reason hastily prepared sketches form the most uneconomical,
as well as the most disappointing, plans for a home.
When you find a home so compact as the one shown here, with every
room of the shape and size needed, the arrangement convenient and no
element of comfort omitted, you may be assured such a design is the re
sult of long, careful and experienced planning. The living room is
spacious: the dining room, ample; the bed rooms, large and well ventilated,
'and the 'itchen complete in every
bed room can be used as a sun room, as there is plenty ot room upstairs
for two more rooms.
The exterior is distinctive, simple and in perfect taste, with a com
fortable porch in front. There is every advantage in economy, con
venience and true livability. Complete working drawings for Homes of
Comfort may be obtained from Adams & Kelly Co., Omaha.
