JAMES C DA HEM AN
Mayor
Omahan Urges That
Open Sewer Be Closed
n. Ttltchey. IlOk South Sixtieth
street, believes that Omaha should in
elude in Its "clean up" campaign the
abatement of an open sewer in Edge
wood addition, near his home
"I am not speaking for myself alone
when I state that this sewer Is n mils
anert and a menace, ' Mr. Kitchey said.
"We have had this to contend with for
nearly a year and it is probable that
it will be another year before we have
relief Nearly 50 houses use tills sew
er which i mplies Into an open space."
City Engineer Her titan Beal of the
public improvements department stilt
ed that lie Is familiar with the condl
tions complained of. He explained
'hat a conlrUct i» pending for an ex
tension of this sewer from the point
where it now empties Into a ditch to
■a point at Sixtieth street and Popple
ton avenue, the ultimate aim being
to take the sewer to Pappio creek.
"The work on this sewer should lie
started within a few weeks," the « ity
engineer said.

and international news to keep its
local readers posted, with enough
local news for out-of-town peope to
give them the flavor of the city.
Casper S. Yost, of the, St. Louis
Globe Democrat was elected president
of the society. E. C. liopewood of the
I Cleveland Plain Dealer was chosen

No Truth In Editorial.
"1 care nothing about editorial crit
icism directed against the Individual,'*
(he president said in leading up to his
reference to Ihe International court.
"But I read within 4S hours a very
earnest editorial, wherein it was stat
ed that the recent proposal of the ex
ecutive to the senate that we adhere
to the International court of justice
was imposed upon the executive by
the influence and the design of the
international bankers, Well, there
isn't a word of truth In it and I want
to tell this to you because it will en
large your vision and enable you to
comment sometimes a little more sat
isfactorily.
"I have been president something
more than two years. I have yet to
be asked for an audience or inter
view by a single international bank
er in America or elsewhere. And the
only exchange of opinions between in
ternational hankers and the president
of the I’nited States hnve been at the
request of the president, and it is
fair to say that in the instances when
they have been summoned they have
said, with just the same patriotic In
terest and devotion that you would
lay, 'Mr. President, we are at your
service in any way you wish to com
mand us,’ It is fair to tell you that
when publishers and editors say, with
seeming sincerity and great emphasis,
that the government is being led
astray at the behest cr design of the
bankers, there isn't a grain of truth
to justify the statement."
Mr. Harding praised a code of eth
ics adopted by the editors, saying,
"There never was a time when a fit
ting code of ethics was so essential
to the press of America."

Service to Bejrin
in Omaha July 1
I General Superintendent Here
i Looking Over Situation;—
Flood Light* Every 3 Miles
oil 900-Mile Route.
Carl F. Egge, genei'al superintend
! rnt of the United .^tates air mail, left
| for Chicago last night after spending
the day in Omaha looking over the
work thut has been going on here
quietly, to make Omaha the great
midway station on the first night air
mail route in the World.
Mr. Egge made the announcement
of this yesterday. He will return to
Omaha in a few days.
"T Expect to stay cn the ground
most of the time until we get the
night mail route Chicago to Cheyenne
via Omaha ready, which will be about
July 1.’’ he said. “The acetylene
lights now being placed every three
miles along the route will he lighted
then.
“Jack Knight and H. P. Lewis, mall
pilots, flew the two special night mail
planes at-North Platte Friday night.
The experiments were eminently suc
cessful and perfect take-offs and
landings were made in the night with
the aid of the flood lights on the
ground' and the 500,Ofln candlepower
lights aUached to the under sides of
the plane wings.”
Pilot nnd Egge Confer.
Knight arrived at Ak Sar-Ren field
yesterday afternoon with the mail
from North Platte and had a further
consultation wtih Superintendent
Egge.
Usenet the landing field at Fort
Crook Instead of Ak-Sar Ben field for
the night mall because the latter Is
not large enough, was announced by
Mr. Egge.
"We will continue to use Ak Sar
Ben field for the day mall ships."
said B. B, Colyer, superintendent in
charge. "This is perfectly suited for
landing and taking off in the day
time and, of course, is much nearer to
the Omaha postoffh e than the Fort
Crook field."
Postmaster Black estimated that
mall from Omaha will be delivered in
San Francisco under special stamp
on the evening of the same day as
it is mailed. The same will be true
of Omaha mail for New York.
Time Cut Many Hours.
"While the schedules are not com
pleted," he said, "If the westbound
ship hops off at Fort Crook at 12:30
midnight, Omaha letters on hoard will
he in San Francisco late that after
noon, say 17 hours after leaving
Omaha. "The fastest time by train
is more than 53 hours.
"To N-w York the time will be
about 13 hours from Omaha, making
It possible to deliver letters there to
morrow afternoon which are mailed
here late tonight. Swift trucks will j
run the mail from the cenudj,/Ju.si
Office to Fort QroOe "
Contracts Ur erecting -the seven
foot eonorlte pillars, which will carry

On the New York to San Francisco
route only the part between Chicago
and Cheyenne is being equipped for
