Who Owns This Car? Owner Is Missing f Whether the owner of the machine was ashamed to report its loss, or whether he was glad to get rid of it, is the baffling problem, the Omaha police face in trying to locate the owner of a car which was found yes terday in a cornfield near Florence. The machine was abandoned ten days ago, according to J3h.C. Loner gan, who found it, and after watching over it for several days, he hauled it under the shelter of his barn. Yester day he told the police. The machine has the Nebraska license number 2291 painted on it. "I was afraid to leave it in the corn field," said Lonergan, "for fear others might be encouraged to abandon their cars there." There has been no complaint made about the disappearance of the car, police said, after looking through the records. Amateur Wireless Ones Get in on Wilson Message Great Barrington, Mass., Oct. 21.

Advertisement 1 BERTSCHY ARGUES FOR TUNNEL PLAN I Details Submitted to Commis sioners Monday and Sea sons in Support Stated. COST ESTIMATED LESS The proposed subway under the Missouri river will cost $912,000. The estimated cost of the proposed bridge is $1,500,000. Condemnation cost of the tunnel would be greatly lessened because Jones . street, the only street running to the river, has never been vacated City records prove this fact. ' A double-bore tunnel would accom modate 30 per cent more traffic than could be handled by the bridge and would greatly facilitate the handling of traffic Also it would insure greater safety to pedestrians. The depreciation of the tunnel would be almost nothing. Its cost of upkeep would be met by the income from the sale of space for telephone, telegraph and light cables, pipes and so tortn. Faith in His Figures. These facts are set forth by A. J. P. Bertschy, "daddy" of the tunnel, in a letter to Commissioner Manley of the Commercial club. "To those who doubt that the sub way can be built for less than $1,000. 000, I answer that I myself will ac cept tne contract tor its construction for $912,000 and organize a company tQ build it." The underwater route from Iowa to Nebraska has aroused much comment. Mr. Bertschy's confidence in the feasi bility of his scheme has appealed to hundreds of Omahans. Men have offered to subscribe to a fund to build it. He has been deluged with phone calls and letters commending and cen suring the plan. Clippings trom Ihe Bee. the paper which first announced the news, come to him in every mail lust because bridges, not tunnels. have always been buut is a poor argu ment for Omaha's building bridges," is tne pert introduction ot the Bertschy-Manley letter. Outlines Financial Plan. For financing the Droiect Mr. Bertschy proposes a bond issue, and argues: Ihe street railway company, in its talk No. 2. stated that a bridge such as Omaha would require would cost $1,500,000. . A tunnel such as would accommodate a creates amount of traffic, and be a more up-to-date struc ture, would cost less than $1,UUU,UUU. The mterest on this at 4J4 per cent per annum would amount to $45,000. The annual general depreciation of a tunnel would be nothing. A sinking fund to retire the bonds for building a tunnel within twenty years, and why twenty vears. would amount to 50.- 000. The care and upkeep of the tun nel would be paid for in the income trom the sale ot space for telephone, telegraph, light, etc.. cables and pipes, so that at most the adjoining counties to a free tunnel would only have a charge of $100,000 per, year to take care ot with twenty-year bonds, and if these bonds ran fifty years instead of twenty, and as the tunnel will be good for future generations, there is no valid reason why they should not, tne annual cost would be at most 575.- 000, against $187,000, as stated by the street railway company, for a bridge. Ihe property valuation of Potta wattamie county, Iowa, is $74,811,748 and the assessed valuation is $18, Ihe property valuation of Douglas the assessed valuation is $51,514,445. it the annual taxes were increased 75,000, it would amount to less than 1 for each 160 acres. Will Lessen Burden. "It will be readily seen that this would not be a greater burden on the citizens than tolls paid on the present bridge. The toll collected from vehicles and foot passengers only will amount to nearly 70,000 per year, not including the extra fare of 5 cents paid by passengers who do not hold the mont)ily commutation tickets. 1 suhmit plans tor two types of construction, one for vehicle and foot trattic and one tor vehicle, foot and railway traffic. The latter is preferred because it will give an entrance to Omaha for interurban railway lines and make possible an income for use of railway subway. Even if no reve nue were charged for such use of sub way, the taxpayers would at least have some tangible assets to offset the $75, 000 annually expended, while at pres ent they receive nothing." Mrs. E. V. Parrish Asks Big Damages for Broken Ankle Mattie L. Parrish. wife, of E. V. Parrish, manager of the publicity bureau of the Commercial club, filed suit ,with the clerk of the district , ourt against John W. Welsh, pro prietor of a string of restaurants, fo- $10,250 damages. It is alleged that Mrs. Parrish suf-k-red -er'manent injuries when she slipped and fell in a restaurant at 1408 l arnam street on June 30, 1915.

MOTHER FIGHTS BIG DOG TOJAVE SON Plucky Woman Meets Fero cious Beast and Finally Conquers It. FACE AND ASMS TORN Desperately, offering herself to the attack of a vicious bulldog, which clawed and bit her terribly, Mrs. Inez Haney, wife of an employe of the Waterloo creamery, living at 6000 Sherman avenue, fought with bare hands for nearly half an hour yester day afternoon to save the life of Ver non, her 8-year-old son, whom the ferocious animal had first attacked. She succeeded finally in choking the beast into submission and chasing it from her. Then she fainted. Police Surgeon Meyers found her, with her hands and face torn and shredded, in .a pitiful condition. Lit tle Vernon was in critical shape, too, as the result of the dog's fierce at tack, and had it not been for his mother's heroic interference he would have literally been torn to pieces. Screams for Help. The dog is a big English bull, and had been kept chained, in" a coal shed on account of his ferocity. The Haney home is nearly a hundred yards in any direction from the near est neighbor. When little Vernon went out into the shed the dog leaped on him, knocking him down. The boy screamed for help, and fought with all his puny strength, but the animal, was too strong and bit and tore at will. Mrs. Haney heard the screams of her child and ran to his rescue. The dog had slipped out of his collar and growling and biting the boy when she came up. mere was hot a weapon handy, so she met the attack of the beast with her bare arms, and at the same time giving the boy a chance to run into the house. She screafned repeatedly for help, but her cries were unheard, and for nearly half an hour she battled in desperation for her own life, which she had risked for her loved one. Weighs Under Ninety. Mrs. Haney is a " little woman, weighing less than ninety pounds and the big dog was more than a match for her strength, but she finally tired him out and got away from him. Dr. Meyers pronounced her in criti cal shape, and said that the boy, too, would have a hard time before re covering from the frightful experi ence. Both are at their home under care of physicians. i An effort of police and neighbors to find the dog proved fruitless, though the hunt, continued for a long while. Police have orders to shoot it on sight. It is a massive mottled white beast, weighing about forty pounds. Miss Nell Welsh Weds Otto Gramlich at St. Louis Otto G. Gramlich and Miss Nell Welsh were married at St. Louis Thursday. The ceremony was sol emnized by the Kev. rather John Lyons at St. Pius' church, with Mrs. Joseph Goettler of St. Louis as mat ron of honor and Joseph Goettler at tending the bridegroom.

What is declared by many of the delegates to have been the most successful state convention of the blacksmiths, horseshoers and wheelwrights of Nebraska ever held in this state came to a close last night, after York had been chosen for the next annual gathering and the old officers had been re-elected. The meeting was especially notable for the agreement on the new sched ule of prices, which, it is estimated, will mean about $200,000 additional each year in the receipts of the trade. An officer explained this morning that this will just about balance the increase of materials, labor and other expenses during the last year or so. The officers re-elected are; Presi dent, G. S.

The "Deadly Parallel" as a Censor of War News . There is no surer check upon misstatement or exaggeration on the part of a periodical than the 'deadly parallel," the comparison of a statement made today 'with one made yesterday, or of the same occurence as reported by two journals of widely differing views. As a censor of the news that filters through to us from the various fronts this method is unrivaled. The composite story of a battle as set down for us by half a dozen corre spondents,' all working independently, must come very near to the truth. THE LITERARY DIGEST gives you each week the latest news of the war by citing the reports of the leading periodicals of both sides, without bias or partisanship, leaving you to judge from the evidence what the facta really are.
