NEW MARK SET FOR MONTH
Omaha Territory Broadening Out
and City Benefits.
MAKES UP FOR THE SHORT CROP
Although Shortage in State, Eastern
Corn Pours In.
TREND IS NOW TO THE SOUTH
Hrntn Which Formerly Montlr Wan
Routed to tho ISnut Haw Finds
n More Heady Market
lit the South.
Last month was the record January in
tho history ot tho Otnnlia Grain exchange,
tho receipts reaching 6,313 carloads, as
against 6,303 during January, 1913, which
heretofore had been Uio record.
While tho receipts wero up to the top,
tho grain shipments climbed correspond
ingly, reaching 6,941 carloads, as against
3,955 during tho samo month of last year.
Tho distribution ot receipts was as
follows:
Wheat, 1,071 cars; corn, 4.4S3; oats, 693;
barley, 44, and ryo, 14.
That the scope of tho market was ex
tended and the Omaha grain territory
widened materially Is borne out by corn
receipts. During 1912, Nebraska. Kansas
and western Iowa raised a bumper corn
crop, yet during January of 1913 receipts
were only 3.025 carloads. During tho sum
mer of 1913 tho Kansas corn crop wns
totully destroyed by dry weather and that
of the south half ot Nebraska and Iowa
badly damaged, yet regardless of this the
January receipts wero 1,400 carloads moro
than during the same month of the pre
vious year. The cause of this Increase. Is
best told by tho railroads and' their way
bills.
Scope Is Widened.
During January. 1913, Omaha grain
dealers wero content to handle tho crop
of Nebraska, western Iowa and Kansas.
Last fall and during tho present winter
they went Into new fields. They Invaded
Chicago, Kansas City and St. Louis ter
ritory, and as a result now Omaha Is
taking corn from all over tho Dakotas,
Minnesota, Missouriand from within 100
miles of Chicago. They have been able
to do this simply because they have built
up a market that Is second to none. For
instance Monday Omaha received SSt
carolads of corn, as against 60 at Chi
cago, 189 at Kansas City and 62 at St.
Louis.
That Omaha has found a new market
for Its grain Is indicated by the. ship
menta . JrW to six. .months ng'6 ,rnos of
trie grain from thTs pplntrwasgolng"east,
as tllo shipments over the railroads in
dicate Now, however, the direction of
the movement has changed and practi
cally everything goes to tho southwest
and the lines In these directions show
what is being done.
' Grain to the Hontli.
During January of tho present year
these roads to tho -south and southwest
did a grain business out ot Omaha as
follows:
Missouri Pacific, 2,458; Burlington, 2,348;
Rock Island, 1,101; Wabash, 416 carloads.
Roads operating Into other territory and
haying no closo southern connection did a
grain business out as follows;
Great Western, 186; Union Pacific, 481;
Illinois Central, 157; Omaha, 9; Milwau
kee, none.
Tho figures of these railroads that
reach out into Chicago and Minneapolis
territory show conclusively J.hat Omaha
is Invading the territory of the othor mar
kets. During January the Northwestern
brought to the Omaha market 2,677 car
loads of grain, most of which came from
Iowa and Illinois. The Milwaukee hauled
in 1.405 cara and all of It won from Town.
Illinois and Minnesota; the Illinois Cen
tral, 042 cars, all from Iowa and Illinois;
tho Great Western, 302, all from Iowa and
Minnesota, and the Rock Island, 413 cars,

Records of the First National 4ank of
Burierlor falsified to, thoanlouht of over
$6,000, embezzlement of money and notes
to tho amount ot over 312,000 more and a
false and unlawful report ot the condi
tion of tho bank made to the comptroller
of. tho treasury October 21, 1913, are the
basis of an Indictment ot seven counts
found by the federal grand Jury today
against Albert C. Felt, absconding cash
ier of the bank,
Tho first count charges Folt with con
verting to his own use 81,622.10 of the
bank's funds.
The second count charges embezzle
ment of 2,O0O more of tho bank's funds.
The third count covors notes which
wero converted to his own use, covering
J7.9C0, signed by Jens Ruberg for 8160,
James E. Weir for $6,000, J, N. Hoffner
for $800 nnd II. F. Ayers for $1,000.
Besides thoso hoe weio s'eral othoj
notes of which the amounts are not
given.
The fifth count covers the convertlon
of ft secondnote of Jens Ruberg for $150,
whllo the sixth count shows that Felt
falsified the report to the comptroller of
the treasury, making the reserve of " the
bank $5,000 more than It was.
The sixth and seventh counts cover
false entries In tho books of the bank,
showing that Frarik Jensen and G. W.
McKlnney were Indebted to tho bank In
the sums ot $2,653.33 and $3,000 respect
ively. Felt Disappears. '
Felt was president of tho Nebraska
State base ball league and on January 8
last went to Kearney to attend a meet
ing of the league. He refused re-election
and at the close of the meting left, saying
that he was going to Omaha. Later it
was discovered that he left tho train at
Grand Island and nothing has been heard
from him since;
It was supposed that he cither took a
Burlington train to the northwest or
doubled back on tho Union Paclflq to
some western point. Very little was done
to apprehend him and there has been
plenty ot tlmo for hi mto reach Europe,
where It is thought he has gone.
The grand jury-Is still at work on the
Sutton bank failure case and Is taking
considerable more time for It than was
devoted to the Superior failure.

NEW LAW IS NOT ENFORCED

Rclnsr Woefully Neglected
hy State Officials.
Suffrage workers of Omaha and the
slate are planning a campaign against
Governor Morchead and State Labor Com
missioner Charles Pool, because these
state officials arc not enforcing the nine-
hour law for women. Just whnt' tho na
ture of tho campaign will bo the women
are a llttlo loath to say. They are stow
to come out In an open fight on a matter
of 'this kind because, they say, they feel
their principal fight now Is to get their
petitions filled oo they .may get suffrage
In this state.
They admit, however, that they are
after the governor on account ot the lax-
ness ot -his -labor commissioner on this
female labor law. They say tho negll-
genco hero Is too gross to be overlooked
"Of course, It's tho governor wo are
after," said one ot the woman leaders,
'and slnco we are gong to have the bal
lpt ieforo long he cannot afford to over
look us."
The women say that Labor Commis
sioner Pool docs not look them up 'for
Information when he Is In Omaha, os
tensibly looking for infractions ot tho
rJne-hour low, "We wrlto to him and
write to him," the women say, "and al
though tho letters nover come back to us,
he ' docs not answer them nor does he
visit our headquarters to talk matters
over with us when he is In the city."
The Second congressional district women
have headquarters ut 410 Brandcls theater
building. Numerous letters from this of
fice have gone to Mr. Pool calling his
attention to tho Infractions of the nine-

No. 1 Banks

saving It.
A ridiculously Binall number
