Prospect of a new bridge over the riatte river on Center or Q street between Douglas anrl Saunders roun ties is nearer realization now than at any time since the project was first agitated three years ago, according to a special committee of the Omaha Auto club. The erection of a bridge at either of the locations has had the backing of the business interests of Omaha and the Omaha Auto club, but the proj ect has been held up by controversy over location. A large amount of business, which has gone to Fre mont and Lincoln wo'uld naturally come to Omalia. with such a crossing over the Platte river south "of the present bridge at Valley. The state to defray half the eost of the proposed bridge and Saunders and Douglas counties a quarter each. These funds arc available in both counties and the governor and state engineer have the money in the state aid bridge fund ready for the project. The location of I he bridge, accord ing to law, is determined by the coun ty board of each county and the slate engineer, each having one vote. Douglas county has approved the so'uth location and Saunders county the north, and tlie matter now rests on the decision of the state engineer, . who is ready to decide when request ed to do so by the county officials. Failure of the two counties to break the deadlock over location by asking for the state's decisio'n In the matter will result, in tile state using the funds elsewhere.

World Court May Be Made Issue in Coming Campaign - t Revival of Question Assured ^ lien “Coalition" Agrees to Report “Some Pro posal" to Senate. By WILLIAM K. HUTCHINSON. I nt<*r national »»• 8<*rvic© Staff Cor respondent. Washington, May 22.—American participation in the permanent court of international justice will be placed before the public as an issue in the coming presidential campaign, it was indicated today by members of the senate foreign relations committee, which resumed consideration of four conflicting proposals for joining the tribunal. Revival of the court issue was prac tically assured when republican “irreconcilable” ’ members of the com mittee reached a tentative agreement with democratic league of nations ad vocates to report to the senate "some proposal” for American entry. The “Irreconcilables,” however, were di vided over the best method, a few following the leadership of Senator Lodge, republican of Massachusetts, who proposed a brand new court en tirely separate from the league. Democratic members favored any or all of the plans in the hope of bringing the proposal itself before the senate and the public. A separate plan, drafted by Senator Swaijson, democrat of Virginia, would permit the Untied States to enter the court under the terms laid down by the late President Harding and Secretary of State Hughes. "If successful this plan would lead to American participation in a tri bunal that would he a real world court In fact as well as In name,” said Senator Wadsworth of New York. "Under the conditions laid down the court would be disassociated from the league without disturbing its per sonnel or jurisdiction.” Wadsworth predicted one of the several plans would be reported to the senate within the next two weeks, chiefly for the purpose of bringing th» subject to the public’s attention.
