tort la Omaha.
Ranks and loan association of Omaha
hava received circular from tha committee
on postal savings banks of tha American
Hankers' association stating that tha com
mute had decided that In view of prob
able legislation thla winter the campaign
of education against postal savings banka
ahould be considered and that iom actlva
personal work ahould be dona.
Enclosed alao wera two petition on
which tha bankera are asked to aecura els
nature , on to ba sent to one of the Ne
braska aenatora and the other to the rep
resentstlve in tha house. The committee
ka tha( the petitiona be aigned by the
director and stockholder of the bank!
and savings associations and by prominent
business men.
The petition say: "Believing that a
poatal savings bank aystem would provo
detrimental to tha best buslnesa Interests
of tht community and of the country at
large, tha undersigned respectfully urge
that you oppose any legislation for the es
tablishment of postal aavlnga banka."
The committee encloses a circular giving
figures on the savings deposits In the
United Stales as reported by the comp
troller of currency for 1909 and alHo as re
ported by the National Monetary commis
sion. It la estimated that the banked sav
ings deposits of thla country amount to
16,000.000.000. or 175 per capita.
Pennsylvania has the most banka with
1.144 and Iowa is second with 1.097. Ne
braska has 731, which Is more than auch
mates as California and Indiana, and Is
only surpassed by Iowa, Illinois, Kansas,
Minnesota, Missouri, New York, Ohio and
Pennsylvania,. Nebraska has 7,S73 aavlnga
depositors with, $24,177,206 in savings de
posits. The circular says: "You may be proud
of such a showing, proving that our banks
re fully able to care for such amounts as
out ' wideawake and enterprising cltlsens
may be able to lay aside for a rainy day."
The matter was called to the attention
of the director of the Nebraska Savings
and Loan association at their meeting Fri
day, but the directors decided not to circu
late the petition or to take any action on
the mutter. They favor the postal sav
ings , banks proposition. Other banks
have ircelved their circulars, hut none
had acted on the matter.
; "Country banks are getting a little ex
cited over thla matter," said the president
of one of the banks. "The republican party
Is pledged to consider the matter, and any
opposition will be credited to the banking
interests anyway. I don't think we will
take any action on the question."

A record for street ear inlurv settlements
was made in the federal district court
whan. Rowland English, who aued the
Oml!ft -de Council Bluffs Street Railway
company for $26,000 for personal Injury,
settled hie action .for tfi.OOO.
Mr. English alleged that he was struck
b' a falling live wire while sitting In

Large Class
of Candidates
for High School
Principal Graff Greeted by Hundred
and Twenty-Fivf Fnpili from
the Grades.
Principal Graft of the High school was
most agreeably surprised Saturday morn
ing when IX candidates for admission to
the High school met him in response to
his call. This number Is surprisingly large,
being about per cent of the pupils who
are to graduate from the gradca at thla
time.
Thla large class Is taken as an evidence
of the wlndom of Superintendent David
son's argument for two graduations a year
In the High school.- With such a class
going in at this time - every year, It Is
argued, the pupils comprising It would
have a much Interest and pride In. looking
forward to their own special time of grad
uation as do the pupils who are to graduate
at the long fixed date in mid-summer. It
Is expected that when the school board
learns of the large percentage of pupils
entering High' school at (his time the prop
osition of the superintendent of schools
will be given very sen-Ions consideration.
Mr. Davidson Is wearing a smile that can
not be rubbed off for some time, because
when he outlined the new plan . In .The
Bee Friday Jie had no means of knowing
that the candidates for High school this
year would be any more numerous than
In the past. He feels, too, that If the
double graduation plan were In operation
a much larger per cent of eligible, puplla
would go Into High school after the mld
w Inter examination.
ASK PARK HEDGE CUT AWAY
Captain Palmer, Jadsje Manser, and
Others Make . Request of. ... .
the Board.
Captain Palmer, Judge . Mungrr ' and
others living" In 'the vicinity of the west
boundary of Hanscom park have pre
ferred a request 'to the Park board to cut
away the hedge now existing along the
wes side of the park... They, urge that to
Gut the hedge would be an improve
ment and also that It would abolish con
venient hiding place for -hoodlums, who
sometimes hide about the hedge and bother
women and children. Some other resident
about the park want the board to remove
the greenhouse from Its present location,
on the ground that It in a drawback to
their propeity for resldenoe purposes.
The members of the Park board are not
Inclined to look with much favor on either
of the requests. The hedge they consider
very requisite as giving a finish to that
side of the park, andthey doubt if the
greenhouse could be located anywhere in
the park that wou'd be! more satisfactory
than Its present s'te.

VAN HUSEN OF OMAHA FOR
DEPARTMENT COMMANDER
Present Head of Grand Army Post of

Very Likely to Win.
. Department Commander I D. Richards
of Fremont, with several of the Grand
Army department staff, has returned from
Falrbury, where they went to make ar
rangements for the annual encampment of
the department, to be held In that city
May 18, 19 and 20.
Commander Richards said that the Falr
bury people are making every arrangement
to make the May encampment one of the
best ever held In the state and will pro
vide liberally for the entertainment of the
old veterans.
"It looks as if the department comman-
dershfp In likely to go to N. K. Van Husen
of Omaha this year," said Commander
Richards. "Captain Van Husen is re
garded as one of the strong men of the
Qrand Army out In the state. Colonel
Hoagland of Qrand Island la also talked
of as a candidate and would make an ad
mirable commander. He will have a strong
following from the western and northern
part of the state, while Captain Van Husen
seems to be strongest In the eastern and
southern parts of the state. Out at Fre
mont we hav no decided preference either
way, as both of the leading candidates pos
sess alt the necessary qualifications, and
the encampment Itself will decide the mat
ter right. The Grand Army is In good
shape and the reports of the several offi

FLEXNER SERUM SUCCESSFUL
New Method of Treating Spinal Men
ingitis Baises First Patient. .
INITIAL TRIAL IN THIS STATE
Mrs. Karl Com stork of KortyElarkth
and Pratt Ktreets First Person In
Nebraska to Ba Cured by
New System.
For the first time In NeDraska a suf
ferer from spinal meningitis has been
treated by serum injection with the result
that the patient has now practically re
covered. Mrs. Earl Comstock of Forty-eighth and
Pratt streets Is this flrrt Nebraskan to
be treated with the rerum discovered by
Dr. Simon Flexner of the Rockefeller
Institute of Medical Research, the
treatment being administered at the Wise
Memorial hospital.
For a year and one-half a quantity of
this serum has been in the hands of the
Omaha health department, but until this
case there has been no request for It.
.Spinal meningitis generally results In
death, paralysis or at least deafness, and
that Mrs. Comstock escaped one or the
othor of these fates because she was given
serum treatment Is most likely.
She was taken suddenly 111 a week ago
Monday and became rapidly unconscious.
The diagnosis made by the first physician
who saw her was hysteria.
Mrs.' Comstock continued unconscious
until Friday of the first week and then,
following a consultation of physicians, her
illness was diagnosed as spinal meningitis.
It was decided to try the Flexner serum.
A puncture was made In the spinal column
and a quantity of the serum Injected.
The very first treatment aided the pa
tient, restoring her to consciousness.
After that five more Injections were
given, with the result that Mrs. Comstock
has recovered.
There has been a hesitancy about em
ploying the serum because of the necessity
of puncturing the spinal column, but the
cure of Mrs. Comstock will have a de
structive effect upon this hesitation.
Dr.- Flexner'a serum Is not a therapeu
tlo for polio myelitis, but the discoverer of
the meningitis serum Is now engaged ln
seeking one for the ether dread disease.
