Twenty-Seven Injured
in Omaha Train Crash

andoah. and Dr. A. O. Wirsey of
Shenandoah and Dr. Thomas O’Con

wreck to care for the injured.
Tite passengers of No. 14 were
placed on cars of No. 3 and brought
on to Shenandoah wltere a number of
them registered at hotels
Kails Torn From Ties.
The rails of the track where the
train was wrecked were torn from
the ties for a distance of about two
train lengths. The ties in this dis
tance were severed in the middle as
they were torn from the roadbed, giv
ing the appearance of being sawed or
cut in half by a sharp knife.
A wrecking crew was put to work
on the damaged track and travel
probably will l>e resumed by night,
according to railroad employes.
Among the slightly injured on the
train were William Shoemaker and a
woman who claimed to he his wife,
Nora, alias Mary Stillman, who were
being taken to Maryville, Mo., from
Council Bluffs as fugitives from Jus
tice.
They were arrested in the Bluffs
Saturday and were in the custody of
K. G. Young. Wabash special agent,
and Ed Wallace, town marshal of
Maryville.
Nineteen pints of bonded whisky,
found in the man’s suitcase, had been
turned over to the Missouri officers
and the warrants on which the pair
was being returned to Maryville
charged illegal transportation of II
t|Uor and enticing a woman out of
the state.
Shoemaker, however, will be taken
liefore the station agent at Maryville,
it is said, in an effort to identify him
as the “silk hat" bandit who held
up and robbed the agent several
nights ago.
Both were taken on to Maryville by
Marshal Wallace on No. 3, while Spe
ci*l Agent Young remained here in
hia capacity as a railroad officer, per
forming among his other duties that
of guarding the mail removed from
No. 3 to the station platform.
Shoemaker’s wrist was cut and the
woman’s side hurt. Officer Young,
whose home station is Moberly, Mo.,
suffered an Injury to his right leg.
Railroad officials this morning were
at the scene of the wreck endeavor
tng to establish the cause of the de
railment.
The conductor in charge of the train
was Jerry Crews.

Chiropractic Health Talks
The nerve and blood supply to
the stomach perform an impor
tant part in the elaboration and
secretion of the gastric juice and
a very important part of the
nervous system is the furnishing
of energy for the stomach move
ments during digestion.
The nerves leading to the
stomneh pass out from the spinal
cord through little openings in
the spinal column; if they are
inr i^eed by a subluxated (dis
placed! vertebra, it interferes
with ihe transmission of nerve
energy leading to the stomach
and cause that organ to become
diseased.
Chiropractic adjustments will
free the nerve from the pressure
that is causing the trouble, na
ture will restore normal func
tion to the organ and health is
the result.
If you are suffering with some
form of stomach ‘rouble make a
thorough, open-minded investi
gation of the Chiropractic prin
ciple and then be guided by your
better judgment.
We will not accept any case
that we cannot help. Consulta
tion and examination is free.

Seeks Big Road Fund
(Cyntlnurd From Paae One.)
license, the license to be revoked for
certain periods of time when failure
to comply with state and city traffic
laws is proved against the owner.
The Jo#hnson proposal to force
motorists to pay more for good roads
Is directly opposed to a pre-election
pledge of Governor-elect Charles W.
Bryan to reduce the automobile tax.
Bryan's attitude toward a continua
tion of federal aid roads has never
been made public and at no time has
he stated how he would gather suffi
cient funds to maintain good roads.
Other Recommendations.
Other recommendations made by
Johnson follow:
“All roads outside the state high
way system placed entirely under
jurisdiction of county boards with
authority to lay out a constiuctibn
and maintenance program and he free
to use any method of organization
that in their judgment is best for local
conditions.
“To meet this expense permit
counties to use in full present motor
vehicle tax, the federal aid construc
tion and maintenance to be raised by
an ndd.tlonal motor tax.'*
Continuing, Johnson clinches his
argument to put the building and
constructing of federal aid roads on
the shoulders of the motorists by pre
seating figures to show that good
roads at the present time save, the
260.000 motor vehicle owners in
Nebraska $30,000,000 annually In re
pa.r bills, saving on gasoline and
other economies possible in motor car
operation with good roads. Johnson
estimates the annual operating cost

of motor ears at 1135,000,000 per year.
"After reviewing these figures It is
easy to see how the motor vehicle
owner can well afford to pay all of
the expense of meeting federal aid
and continue the maintenance work
that has already been started and If
this Is done he can be assured that
his operating expense will be reduced
another cen^ per mile, which would
mean another 116,000,000 annually,”
Johnson said.
Would Reduce Friction.
In arguing for a complete divorce
between federal aid-state roads and
county roads Johnson asserts friction
between elute and county officials
would be cut to a minimum and ex
perience of other state highway de
partments show that such a divorce
tends toward efficiency and economy.
"A further reason why state high
ways should be considered as a state
enterprise is that the traffic which
originate* in a county is no longer
confined to that county as proved by
the traffic count at 18 different count
ing stations on the state highway
near Auburn, Chester, Columbus, Da
kota City, Fairmont, Grand Island,
Hastings, Havelock, Kimball, Mc
Cook, Millard, Norfolk, North Platte,
Scottsbluff, Wpencer, Valley, W.vmore
and York.
"This count showed that 88,958 ve
hicles passed these stations per week
between hours of 6 a, m. and 8. p. m.
and that less than 4 per cent were
horse drawn vehicle*.”

Auburn, Neb,, Dec. 6.—(Special )—
Ex-Judge Fred G. Hawxby, who was

several precincts, where he alleges
there were Irregular ballots improp

League Opposes
State Regulation
Nebraska Municipalities Do
Not Want Plants Under
Railway Commission.
•
Lincoln. Dec. I —-(Special.)—W il
liam Madgott. Hastings, president of
the League of Nebraska Municipali
ties, at u meeting of the executive
committee, anticipated an attempt of
elec trio light and power plant cor
porations to be placed under the Ne
braska. railway commission.
"You may rest assured we will
fight the effort of these interests to
get under state regulation, through
legislative acts this year, the same as
we have at every session the last 10
years,” Madgett said.
"These corporations want both the
municipal and privately owned plrnts
under state regulation because the
privately-owned plants are constant- (
|y harassed and embarrassed by the
lower rates charged by the municipal
plants.
"Their plan is to have all plants
placed under the state railway com
mission so that no rata can be raised
or lowered by either private or city
plants without the approval of that
body.
"The league believes mat should
such a condition become a reality, it
would eventually mean that the rotes
of private ownership would prevail
and municipal plants would dlsappeat
in the rising tide of discontent that
already prevails over railroad rates.”

It was learned that Mrs. Pbillil*

Mrs. Obenchain. From slight rust
on two of three bars, it Is supposed
she worked the saw for several nights
previous to her escape. The bars
were held In place by chewing gum
and protected by the decorative cur

Mrs. Phillips crawled through a
