Trail Blazed bv Ezra Meoker to Come to Omaha jOregon Highway Association Decides in City’s Favor at Denver Meeting; State Route I ndecided. Tourists hurrying east and west over the Oregon trail, famous high way blazed by Ezra Meeker, will come .through Omaha. This was the news brought back from Denver Sunday where W. A. Kills, assistant commis sioner of the Chamber of Commerce, and W. B. Cheek of the Omaha Anto club, attended a meeting of th* Ore gon Trail association. Omaha, already the strategic cen te^ for many transcontinental high ways, both east and west and north and south, thus adds another to its long list. The iigint at which the Oregon trail will enter the western boundary of Nebraska has not yet been deter mined, Kills said last night. It is expected, however, that North Platte through which the old trail passed, will be selected. Ah the Oregon trail pushes further east- from Portland the dream of Ezra Meeker of a great highway lo the northwest through the rich slates of the middle west draws nearer Its realization. Meeker-, who first cross ed America driving a team of oxen, and returned east in an airplane, has been a Irlless worker for his projee^. More than once he has come to Omaha to solicit aid in the trail and several times broadcast an appeal for support over WOAW. The road, at present, Is built from Portland. Ore., to Granger.

Clergy Hits at Crime in Law Sr .♦*0 v Miui-ler* 1 S*yS>J eplore •i*/N <S 1 Wave of * ’ That bk <l,nlr>; v, aples. V / — Religion Only Remedy Law arul Order Sunday in Omaha was marked yesterday by sermons in several churches in which the pastors scored the evils growing out of unrest and "jazz life'’ in the present day and suggested remedies. Pastors and teucheis all over the country were urged t«* speak on this subject in a united effort to "stop the downward course of the present generation." Kev. Hharles \Y. Savklge. at the People's church, spoke in the evening on "The Girl Who Shot Her Mother," taking as *111*5 text Romans 1:13. "Without natural affection, implac able, unmerciful." "A few* days ago in San Francisco a young girl, 16, shot her mother to death. This crime, so unnatural, so terrible, has caused much thought and comment all over the country," said the minister. "It is said that the ! vnung woman has received many let ters so scathing In their denunciation of hep act that she has not .been per mitted to read them. Sweetin Case Cited. “This girl was mature* for her age, forceful, ambitious, bright. But she • •hose 1 he wrong path. She reached : n*h a state of moral degradation that she could brook no word of ad vb e or warning and when her mother tried to guide her, the daughter killed her. "This unnatural crime does not stand alone. The pages of our daily papers are filled with account of the terrible doings of our people. "A minister becomes infatuated with a member ofl his church, kills his own wife, plans for the murder of her husband who stands in the way of his illicit love and then actually stands in the pulpit and preaehevthe funeral sermon of the man he helped to kill. God Left Out of Homes. "TIiis last week a young lad of 16 who lived under the shadow of my church takes a gun,and attempts to hold up and rob a man who is re turning to his home after his day's work. Instead of shooting the man he himself is shot. He is hovering between life and death. This boy at tended no Sunday school or church. He left God out of Ills life. „ "One of hi.® companions whined that he never had a chance. He had a better chance than the score of men those boys have been chasing with pistols recently. "Gen. George B. Duncan stated recently that unless we stop In time the entire machinery will collapse and people wont be safe even in their o*wn homes. "What Is the cause of all this? Some say the movigp, some divorce, but I say it is the fact that God has been left out of these persons’ lives. Commandments Disobeyed. "This state of affairs is plainly foretold in the Bible. We are near ing the close of the Gentile age and what we see is in exact accord with what was foretold. Preachers of to day preach little hell, but there Is plenty of it breaking all around us. "What will lie the emi of all this wickedness? It will not get better. This civilization will ro dowti with 1. crash and on Its mins God will build a kingdom that shall have no end." Rev. X. H. Tlaw kins, preaching In; 1 be morning at Hillside Hongregs ttonal church on "A Way 10 Stop the Present I'nival" declared the cause of it all Is man's failure to obey God s commandments. "A wave of suicide hns swept over Omaha, one of the victims being: a man of mature years, good educa tion ami standing h|gh in his profes sion." bo said. "Hilme is rampant in Omaha, Chicago, San Francisco and all other cities. A girl kills her mother In San Francisco. A mere youth is dangerously shot in Omaha while trying to commit a robbery.

L Wilson, attan 9)# & CAMPAIGN CUT? CROSSING DEATHS Washington, Jan. 25.—The fact that 131 fewer deaths were caused by grade crossing accidents between June 1. 1924, than in the same period of 1923, on the basis of interstate Commerce commission reports, was attributed tonight by the American Railway association to the safety campaign being conducted by tln. r allroads. This decrease was brought about, the association stated, despite an In crease of approximately 20 per cent in tlie- number of automobiles In use. During tlie four months of 1924, the statement showed, 738 fatalities and 2.191 injuries were due to grade cross ing accidents, as compared with 809 and 2,173, respectively, during the same period of 1923.

More than 700 persons, represent ing a variety of walks of life, at tended the funeral of Dr. Albert H. ^Koenig, South Omaha physician, who took lfls owp life in his office last Sunday night. The services were held Sunday af ternoon from the Wheeler Memorial Presbyterian church. Twenty third and 3 streets. The church was filled when the services began at 2. Attendants con tinued to arrive during the ceremo nies, utilizing every foot of standing room. Rev. George Dorn, assistant pastor of the Kountze Memorial Lutheran church, who officiated at the church, rebuked curiosity seekers. "Those who have come here today to hear what a minister has to say of one who died in this unusual man ner, step back,” he said. "We are not here to pass judgment. "One must have the staying power of Christianity to answer the ques tion: Is life worth the living? Only a Christian can face life's problems nrtd perplexities with unshaken faith."

It consists entirely of nien from the ranks of the proletariat. Members of the so called "bourgeoisie” and of the old aristocracy ar* excluded os officers or soldier* from the army. The services of such men. however, are not permitted to go wholly un used. It has been decreed that, they shall serve In what the Bolshevlkl term, "auxiliary labor groups” In the army. This means they must serve the real Red army soldiers. They keep the barracks clean, attend the horses, repair roads, supervise army messes and do other menUil tasks, which are considered beneath the "dignity” of a Bolshevik soldier.

Up Valiant Life Battle - / Chicago Gangland Dictator Refuses to State Who Shot Him; Holds Key to Many Secrete. Was Five Points Gunman By l nitmal Sfrilw. Chicago, Jan. 25.—''Johnny” Torrio U fighting for his life tonight. Torrio, dictator in Chicago's gang, land, was caught in an ambuscade at the door of his home. He was re turning with his wife from a shoiv plng trip. His arms were full of bundles. He had no chance to pull his own pistol. A big automobile, curtains drawn, rolled along the curb as Torrio was walking to ills own doorway, fc-ix shots crashed. Torrio fell with his bundles, three bullets in his chest, two in the chin and one in the right leg. The bullets were fired by gun men who knew their business. Not a shot was wasted. That none of the bullets struck a vital spot is almost a miracle. Tell how It happened? Not Torrio' "Never mind who shot me, that': my business.” I.ih I nto Himself. That is ills only answer. Whoever in* assailants were will have to an swer to Torrio—if he recovers. The law don't count. Torrio has always been a law unto himself. If Torrio was given to talking he might tell a lot, according to the authorities. He might lie able to shed somp light-on the assassination of "Big Jim” Colosimo, noted restau ranteur, who went down before the < raok of a gun some two years ago. It was ' Big Jim” who \irought Tor rio to Chicago from New York. He brought^. Torrio here because Torrio was a good gunman. And "Big Jim" Was chief of gangland then and need ed the services of gunmen. When "Big Jim" passed on his toga fell to the shoulders of Torrio. Torrio Won’! Talk. And 'Torrio might tell something of the slaving of I Jean yj'Bannlon, who rose from newsboy to gangland cap tain; who stood disputing with Torrio and other* for leadership in Chicago's long line of bad men. But Torrio won’t talk. But lie wii! light! Just now he is fighting death If he wins—doctors say it is doubtful —he will fight again—hunt out pd shoot it out wtili the gunmen tliat rode him down and shot him down on the stepH of ills own home. Tor rio doesn't want any police interfer ence. Torrio had made a reputation for hlmself before coming to Chicago. He was with the New York Five Points gang, "Gyp the Blood,” "Dago Frank,” "I.eftle Louie" and "Whitie Lewis," New- Yorkers who paid the death penalty in the Rosenthal mur der, were said to have been his as seriate* Itodged Prison Term. It 1* said a short time before ' Big Jim” Folnstoin was slain he broke with Torrio. "Big Jim” saw gang leadership slipping from hint and Into the hands of the lieutenant he had Imported. Torrio was In business for himself when Colosimo was slain. He disappeared. T-ater he reappeared but the authorities did not implicate him in the slaying of "Rig Jim,” and hi* sway over gangland became com plete. Bootlegging became profitable and Torrio is said to have entered the business In a Mg way—bought brew eries and Imported beer. He was con victed for violating the prohibition law In s neighboring county and sen tenced to nine months' Imprisonment. I hit Torrio had ijolitlcal influence. I (e didn't go to jail.
