New York, Jan. 24.—Before an awe
stricken audience of 20,000,000 per
syps the sun, moon and stars today
staged a spectacle of beauty and
grandeur in the great celestial thea
ter, a phenomenon that will live for
ever In the memory of those who
I witnessed it.
j It was the solar eclipse. It was
seen by persons strung along across
the map of the United States from
Bed Lake, Minn., to the Atlantic
ocean. It began at 8, when the
moon first nibbled at the sun’s disk,
reached the point of a total eclipse
in New York at 9:11, plunging the
metropolis into darkness, and then
slowly passed eastward toward the
Hlie-tiand islands. At 10:29 the last
vestige of hlack left the sun and the
eclipse waa over.
Day Becomes Night.
The most spectacular point of this
most remarkable drama of modern
history was seen in New York City
at fl:ll for a period of 30 seconds
when the dead bWckness of the moon
coming between the sun and the
earth, blotted the sun from view and
turned day into night.
As the crescent of the sun disap
peared from view faint lights began
to twinkle. They were, scientists
said, from the planets Venus, Mer
cury and Jupiter.
Directly above the crescent ap
peared the star Altair. To the south
of Altair could be seen Vega and
to the north of Vega was Dened.
Stars could be seen piercing through
In many parts of the sky. 3 he
heavens for a brief half minute were
emblazed like a moonlight night.
Beads of light from the sun shot out
for a second or two over the moun
tainous valleys of the moon.
Total Eclipse Arrives.
Finally, the last heads of light
from the sun winked out and the
total eclipse set In for its brief
period.
Scientists and laymen viewed the
scene in awe. The scientists with
their photographic instruments rap
able of making accurate observations
and records, spent a nervous few
minutes.
Airplanes, high In the eky. gave
other scientists and newspaper men
a chance to make- a “close up
photograph of the phenomena
Laymen gazed tn astonishment.
They turned to each other, passed
otnoked glasses about and commented
In an excited fashion. Most of them
admitted they did not understand It
from its scientific standpoint but they
were unanimous In voting It a
“great show."
Scientists, eager that the laymen
he not left in the dark, except of
course for that wonderful minute or
two, delivered talks to them through
tlie radio broadcasting stations, and
they were listened to with as much
attention as a world series.
Airships Used.
Spectacular methods of obtaining
scientific information were brought
into plsy. At 5:40 a. m. the giant
naval dirigible, Los Angeles, took off
from Its hangar at Lakehurst. N. J-,
with the greatest flying scientific
laboratory ever placed on board an
airship to view the eclipse and take
tdiotographs at as close range as pos
sible, a height of 8,000 feet.
I Long before 8 planes took ths sir
from Mitchell Field. Here, 35 army
planes, the greatest concentration of
fighting aircraft since the war, had
waited all night for a favorable op
portunlty to take the air.
Thirteen astronomical laboratories
lying in the path of the hlack shadow
trained telescopes, spectroscopes and
other scientific instruments on It.
Hcores of expeditions viewed it from
improvised laboratories.
Scientists from all parts of the globe
, were at the Yale observatory at New
s Haven, which is located in' the di
rect center of the path of totality. Great
crowds packed the Yale campus and
environs. Similar conditions prevailed
at Poughkeepsie, N. Y., also in the
oenter of the totality belt.
Glowing White Crescent.
As the hands of the clock turned
toward 9 those viewing the spectacle
tn New York could see the moon
gradually blotting out the eon.
Slpwly, but steadily the Attack cut
into the sun became larger and at
9 the sun was diminished to a glow
ing white crescent embracing the
de»d blacknesb of the moon.
It was a beautiful sight, a picture
worthy of the hand of the greatest
artist. Frequent expressions of awe
and amazement went up from the as
sembled throng gazing upward from
the earth at the great celestial drama
that was being played by the sun,
moon and stars across the heavens.
Five Below Zero.
It was 5 below zero when the Los
Angeles left Its Lakehurst hangar.
The scientists, photographers and
others privileged to make the trip
were dressed for the occasion. 3'he
ship was cast off by a ground crew
of 300 marines and sailors.
The ship headed northeast and was
barely visible in the morning murk.
It was planned to fly up the coast
for 30 miles, then out over the ocean
toward Nantucket lightship. The tem
perature at 3,000 feet, which was the
normal cruising altitude, was 18 he
low zero when the vessel got sway
Forty-two persons were aboard. At
8:11 s. m. the eclipse had reached
totality In tipper New York. An
eerie darkness shrouded Manhattan
above the streets. In which throngs
of watchers appeared aa smudgy
black masses Intently alert to the rare
ipectaele.
The period of toial eclipse passed
quickly ns tiie moon's shadow raced
eastward.

Cloudy Skies Hide Eclipse in Omaha;
Visibility May Be Better in 1954
Omaha ns have one compensation
for the disappointment of not view
ing the eclipse of the sun Saturday
morning—there will fce another eclipse
of the sun in June, 1954, when the
visibility may be better, according to
those who know.
Father W. F. Itlgge, astronomer at
Creighton university, said that Oma
hans were unable to see the eclipse
on account of cloudy conditions. He
asserted that the eclipse occurred on
schedule time and that the maximum
obscuration Ifcre was 87 per cent at
7:51 a. m.
United States Meteorologist Itobins
reported that the cloudy area Satur
day morning was extensive. Cloudy
conditions were reported from Illinois,
Iowa, Wisconsin; also from Buffalo,
Toledo and other points. Pittsburgh.
Philadelphia, New York and Washing
ton were favored with clear at
mosphere.
The air mall department had no
incoming pilot during the morning.
Pilot L. H. Garrison left this morn
ing at 6:30 with air mail for Chicago.
Some Omahans expected to be in
darkness during part of the time of
the eclipse. Omaha was in the
penumbra of the eclipse, meaning that
the light was partly cut off. Total
obscuration was observed in a path
about 100 miles wide and about 4,000
miles long.
At 9:30 the sun appeared through
the mist anrl clouds like a hall of light
and gradually increased in brilliancy
until the sky was visible.
The eclipse was over at 9:29, Omaha
time.
Judge Is Disappointed.
Municipal Judge K. W. Patrick set
his alarm clock for 6:30 Saturday
morning, expecting to reach some van
tage point to view the eclipse.
Ralph Wagner stated that a* he
was leaving his fireside earlier than
is' his wont, a neighbor came out to
view the eclipse, slipped on the walk
and "sattf stars."
The eclipse here was more nearly
complete than any since 3869, when
the obscuration in this area was 96
per cent.
Lincoln liels View.
Lincoln, Jan. 24.—The beginning of
the solar eclipse was not visible here
due to-'cloudy conditions, but when
tho obscuration was greatest the sun
had risen above the clouds and visi
bility was good. At the maximum
point, however, only a small portion
of the sun was eclipsed by the moon.
Grand Island, Neb., Jan. 24.—6lcar
skies enabled all who looked through
smoked glasses plainly to see the
partial solar eclipse here this morn
ing. The eclipse was at Its maximum
about 8:30 and had disappeared en
tirely by 9 o'clock.
Scientists Say Eclipse Success;
Radio Tone Wave Slightly Affected
By International News Service.
New Haven, Conn., Jan. 24.—
"Marvelously successful," according
to Professor Ernest AV. Prow n of
Yale university's astronomical de
partment, was the observation here
today of the sun's eclipse.
"All observers were agreed that the
observation was taken under excep
tionally favorable conditions," said
Professor Brown.
"The eclipse was five seconds late
In New Haven, five seconds late In
Ithaca, N. Y., and three seconds late
in Poughkeepsie. N. Y.," Profesjgn
Brown declared. "The average
throughout the eclipse area of the
United States showed about four sec
onds late. * •
"This has been the first time an
attempt was made to “chase an
eclipse" across the continent. The
success of tins experiment warrants
doing it again, we hope. The weather
was doubtful before the eclipse, clue
to shifting of clouds. There was a
little cloud near the aun during total
ity which was beautifully colored.
The corona of the sun was a mini
mum type of corona.
"AVe shall not know anything
about, the actual success of our ob
servations for some days, and as to
whether anything new has been dis
covered we shall not know for some
weeks." ~
Prof. Brown announced that the
weather at Buffalo was cloudy at
Ithaca and Poughkeepsie, N. Y., clear.
"AA'» had a rehearsal last night In
which all the astronomers at these
places took part,” said Prof. Brown.
"We had radio news of the weather
last night and this morning, and we
had a special forecast from the
weather bureau yesterday afternoon
and this forecast was right."
Chicago.
The clouds over the city *o
covered the sky that the eclipse made
It seem as though daylight was only
a bit late. There were no strange
shadows, only a murky darkness, as
a belated dawn.
In the “loop" the business district,
a low-hanging cloud of smoke, helped
the clouds to hide nature'* show.
The darkness held on until * and
then Saturday, January 24, was on
Its way under cover of dark low
hung clouds. At 8:30, half in hour
after the near total eclipse was
scheduled to appear. It w*g as near
daylight as could be expected on •
cold cloudy winter day.
Whipped by a stiff north wind,
clouds pushed Into the east )iuilt a
gray wall between the laymen who
lined office building windows and
packed^roofs and piera into the lake,
from seeing more then the usual,

During the two minutes four and

The ghostly radiance of the
eclipsed sun turned the ocean,

Philadelphia, Jan. 24.—Radio sta
tion WDAR, Philadelphia, announced
(hat a marked departure from the
direction of their tone wave had been
observed by radio scientists stationed
at Waterbury, Conn., Immediately be
fore and during the first stages of
the eclipse. The etatement given out
by the state read in part as follows:
“A violent agitation in the direc
tion of the tone wave being received
here from WDAR by Dr. William H.
Bristol and David Crimes, radio scien
tists. was observed at 7:43 a. m., IP
minutes prior to tire eclipse.
"The directional change* of the
wave coming into the receiving instru
ments were so rapid in their changes
at this time that it was impossible to
follow or measure them.
‘‘In the next 15 minutes the agita
tion decreased, leaving a fixed depart
ure of 3 degrees from the original
course of the wave.”
W. J. Bryan Views
Eclipse With
Coolidge
Washington, Jan. 24.—William J.
Bryan viewed the eclipse of the sun
today from that vantage point he has
so long sought, the White House.
The commoner was an early caller
on President Coolidge and was closet
ed in conference with him for a quar
ter of an hour. What the object of
his mission was he declined to say.
He was willing, however, to talk about
the eclipse.
"The eclipse," fold Bryan, "is much
like a democratic defeaj—It is only
temporary. The sun will shine
again.” **

Charles J. Ixmc
Dies Suddenly
*
Veteran Union Pacific Offi
1 cial Victim of Heart Attack;
Recently Promoted.
Charles J. Lane, 59, assistant freight
traffic manager of the Union Pacific
railroad, died at 10 last night, at his
horn®, 414 South Thirty-eighth street.
He was just back from an extended
official trip over the road following
his promltion, on Janhury t, from
general freight agent to* assistant
freight traffic manager of the entire
system.
tleneral Manager W. M. Jeffers of
the road culled at his home and the
two talked over tlia event* of the
trip.
Short of Breath.
i
A little later Mr. l.ane complained
to his housekeeper, Mrs. Lea Klrwin,
who, with her son, keeps the home
where Mr. Lane lived, that he felt a
shortness of brfath and asked her to
sail Dr* K. B. Ilenda, masseur,
■.. ■
who frequently attended him. White
treatment was being administered he
was seized with an acute dilation of
the heart. Dr. J. F. Schleier was
summoned, but death ensued shortly
afterward.
"Charlie” Lane was one of the
most popular railroad men in the
country, and espeleally along the
Union Pacific his coming was every
where greeted with pleasure. Pos
sessed of a breezy, witty, jovial man
ner, he was the life of every party^.
Combined with this was a deeply sym
pathetic nature and understanding
of men, and a remarkable business
ability and capacity to get things
done.
Was a Friend of All.
Rich and poor, small and great,
were alike to him, and there was
something in the man that made the
humblest track-worker warm to him
as easily as did those of his own of
ficial standing. At legislative meet-!
ings it was often said members would
leave their duties to attend committee
meetings where Igtne was to talk.
He had many friends among the
foremost railroad men, Including the
late E. H. Harriman, who was par
ticularly fond of him.
Many called at the house late las'
night after his death had been re
ported. General Manager Jeffers.
Vice President Munroe, Edson Rich
and David Cole were among them.
Mr. Jeffers declared that no death
In the Union Pacific "family” had
caused such widespread regret as that
of Charlie I.ane. "He was Just a
real man who understood other men
and saw good l<T~everybody,” said
i Mr. Jeffers.
Mr. J-an* was born In 1SC5 In
Ithaca, Is'. T., and began his railroad
career as clerk of the St. Joseph 4
Grand Island railroad *t Hastings In
1 892. He became station agent at
Blue Springs In 1888 and was live
stock agent at Grand Island In 1R9T.
In 1991 he was mad* traveling
freight agent for the Union Pacific
and In 1 892 was promoted to division
freight agent. In 1897 h* was made
assistant general freight agent and tn
1998 became first assistant general
freight agent. 11a filled this post
until 1911, when he wai appointed
general freight agent.
Ha never married. His only rela
lives ara Judga W. F. Tuthlli of
Dowaglac, Mich., and Victor Tuthlli
of Grand Itapids, Mich., uncles. The
body was taken to the Burkett
funeral home.
Knghteer Tells Anecdote.
K, R. Rogers, engineer on s Union
Rariflc mall train between Omaha and
Grand Island, railed up The Omaha
Ree Saturday morning to tell the fol
lowing incident:
■'Thirty-five years ago when I wai
firing a local freight between Colum
bus and Norfolk, Charlie. Lane came
down to the trajn at Madlton and told
us someone had stolen his fur over
coat from the hotel, lie got or* the
train ami a few mile*, further on We
saw a man walking nlong the track
wearing tire-chat.
"We stopped and took the fellow
on board. Arriving at Norfolk Charlie
bought a drink and meal for every
body, Including the lliief. And then,
with a few words of kind advice,* ha
told tlie thief to go on his way. That's
the Icind of man he was.” ■

The nine members of the Kronen
family who were drives from their
home at 706 North Thirtieth street by
fire early Friday morning have taken
the five rooms on the second floor of
the Leon Cohn home, 70!) North Thir

Origin Undetermined.
An official investigation of the fire
which started in the house at 704
North Thirl let h__street failed to dis
close evidence as to its origin. A
two-gallon can of kerosene was found
in the debris on the first floor by Fire
Warden John T. Dunn after the fire.
The fire warden had the basement
siphoned and he made a. careful in
vestigation of the ruins. He is un
able to offer a theory as to how the
fire started. The house was not occu

Judge Scores
Two Deputies
for Brutality
t -
Fee and Graham Bound Over
for “Oppression Un
der Color of
Office.’'
Krnest Fee and Jack Graham, dep
uty sheriffs, were hound over to dis
trict court under $500 bond each by
County Judge 'Crawford .Saturday
morning on charges of "oppressing
under color of office."
Their hearing was In county court
Iasi Tuesday when the judge allowed
(heir attorney. J. D. Hlnger until-Sat
urday to argu^ the case on technical
points. .
County Attorney Henry Beal and
Deputy Daniel Dross presented (he
evidence of complaining witnesses, Mr.
and Mrs. Clyde Herney. who testified
that the officers and Deputy Sheriff
Dan Phillips entered- their home at
709 South Nineteenth street late one
night last November, failed to show
a warrant, knocked Herney down sev
eral times, struck -him on the face
with a flashlight and that Fee
knocked down Mrs. Herney and kicked
her.
They took no evidence of any liquor
and arrested nobody.
Judge Crawford scored them severe
ly In court declaring he "could imagine
no reason why officers should enter
a home where a man and his wife arc
apparently peacably retiring and use
such brutal methods in pretended en
forcement of the law.”
The judge dismissed another charge
of the same kind against Fee in which
the complaining witness w’as Louis
Adreme, who testified that Fee and
Phillips entered his soft drink saloon
and that Fee struck him'In the face
with a flashlight, knocking him down.
Five witnesses testified to the same
offense, but Joe Sherry, county Jailor,
and Jack Oraham, who released
Adreme next morning on bond, de
clared they saw no marks of violence
on him. On that evidence the judge
dismissed this case.
Fee was fined $100 last Wednesday
in county court on each of two other
complaints against, him. charging as
sault and battery while searching
houses.

v_____J
Washington, .Ian. 23.—Secretary
of f-abor Davis has written the
words and music of a song dedi

The song, entitled ‘Must One
Word,” was composed in the cabi
net room of the White House while
Mr. Davis and other members of
President Coolidge’s oficial family
awaited the termination of the bi
weekly conference between the
chief executive and the head of the
Department of State.
As ranking member of the cabi

to confer with tlie president after
each gathering of the official fami
ly. The secretary of state invari
ably prefaces each conference with
the phrase:
“.lust one word," indicating that
he lias little to say.
The utterance of this "just one
word” keeps the other members of
the cabinet waiting for 20 minutes
or more.
