BRIEF CITY NEWS 'ENGLISH ELECTIONS DOUBTFUL1 Many Willing to Sit on the Circuit Bench Local Attorneys Who Might Be Named to Succeed Judge Vandeventer, Promoted. At least seven prominent Omaha and Lincoln attorneys are willing that tha Ju dicial ermine of Judge Willis Vandevanter, promoted from the Eighth United States clroult to the supreme court of the United States, should descend upon them.

Brecken rldge, who likewise has tha special Indorse ment of Justices J. B. Barnes and 8. H. Sedgwick.

Ireland's llmrrnmflit t oats Kletrn Million Dollars More Than Total Rrtrnnr l and Act Relieve Tension of Sentiment. If the United Kingdom elec tlons have settled anything. It Is hard to determine Jist what, according to Sir Horace C. Plunkett of iMihlln. who la In Omaha on his annual visit to Intpeet his property hf re. "The Hiitlsh people are slow moving compared to you Americans." said Sir Horace, ' and the elections now going on seem to show that the popular mind has not been made up decisively on the great questions at Issue. Trie elections have aroused, the greatest Interest and it Is almost impossible foryou over here to com prehend how much, but that they have settled anything remains to be seen. "Home rule remains a question of much uncertainty and the problem Is economic rather than political. It has been pointed out that the expenses of the Irish adminis tration amount to SH.OOO.OW more than the total Irish revenue accruing to the crown. Therefore, when the time comes for Ire land to conduct its own administration the question of finance will be a puzzling one. The British taxpayer must dig deep Into his lockets If the new regime la to start under anything like favorable auspices, and the British taxpayer may be averse to doing anything of the sort. "Mind you, I am not saying anything for or against home rule,' but pointing out that when ths time comes to pass a bill Establishing it, the questions of adminis trative and financial detail will probably provoke more of a fight than the question of home rule Itself. The feeling on home rule is not so In tense as It was before the land act went into effect. Kvcn the nationalist leaders see that under imperial administration the people of Ireland have been buying the land from the landlords under conditions far more favorablr- than would have been pos sible under home rule, for the Imperial credit would not have been behind the financing. How to Make Farmers. "But a separate Parliament Is not the great need of Ireland. The Irish problem as I have said before, Is how to make a country prosper which Is dependent, or nearly so at least, on agriculture, whose people nr. pot farmers. They can become good farmers, but they are not t.uch now and even In America they have not taken to tho soli, so far as I have observed." Sir Horace has "observed" quite exten sively In this country and Is the author of an authoritative little work on "Rural Problems In the United States." One of his auditors told him that casual rbservatlons of the nationality of Ne braska and Iowa farmers entirely bear out Kir Horace's thesis. According to this statement the farmers of Nebraska and Iowa are largely of native American or German extraction and the Irish farmer la comparatively rare. Sir Horace goes from here Sunday to Cheyenne and the' Laramie plains where he has land Interests. He also has many old friends In Wyoming country where thirty years ago he ranched It himself. "The passing of many years," said he, "has made these friendships somewhat fewer In number, but not less In a qualltlve way." His devotion to the cause of Irish agri culture Is well known all over the world, and it has been practically his life work. He was long vice president of the Board of Agriculture and Technical Instruction. The Secretary for Ireland was the nominal, but the vice president the active head of this board, which first organized and car ried out agricultural educational work. Sir Horace's most recent activity has been .to preside at and conduct the "Farmers' Parliament" of the Irish Agri cultural society , of which he Is president. The call for the meeting was announced In the official paper, Tha Irish Homestead, as to be held In "The Ancient Concert Rooms. Great Brunswick street, Dublin. Chair will be taken by the president, Sir Horace Plunkett, P. C, K. C. V. O." No new buildings are planned In Omaha by Sir Horace. "Attention will be de voted." said Conrad Young, his agent here, "to keeping up the style and ship shape appearance of buildings already constructed." VALUABLE WATCH IDENTIFIED H. D. Ti .

Cambridge, who was arrested Friday charged with stealing money and Jewelry from tha rockets of rnilwav m.n clerks at their dormlnory In the federal building, was Identified Saturday morning by R. D.
