Brandeis' Buyer "Hits"
, Broadway's Golden Trail
Miss Florence La Bpschin, buyer
lor blouses and the new misses and
small women's department of the
Brandeis Stores, has returned from
New York and tells a wonderful
story of the prosperity evidenced
everywhere.
For the first time in her experi
ence it was impossible to get hotel
accommodations. Tables in the dif
ferent dining rooms of the hotels were
held at a premium and theater rickets
were worth their weight in gold.
Miss La Boschin visited all the
Fifth avenue shops, had lenghty in
terviews with the various heads of
the misses' departments and then
went to the highest grade houses,
who specialize in misses' clothes. She
bought many of the smartest models
and had them copied to give her pub
lic in Omaha the very latest of the
smartest creations of the season at
popular prices. ,
Recalls Burninq of Barn
Belonging to Levi's Father
"The burning of Levi & Gorman s
livery barn Sunday night brought bask
old reminiscences to me," said Rob
ert C. Druesedow this morning. "Thirty-five
years ago this month I shiv
ered in the snow as a kid watching
Levi's father's livery barn burn at
Nebraska City. As I remember it
there were twenty-five or thirty
horses burned at that time. I have
particularly good reasons for remem
bering that fire, for I ruined a pair of
new red-topped boots there. When
my feet got cold standing around I
kicked the heels together until that
no longer served to keep me warm,
then I found a warm place in the
ashes and stood in them until my feet
were thoroughly warmed. When I
got home I found that I had burned
the soles almost through."
Grains in Storage Show
First Decrease Here
For the first time in months the in-:
spectton department of the Omaha
Grain exchange, in its weekly report
of stocks of grain in storage in local
elevators, shows a decrease as com
pared with the corresponding date
of last year. This decrease is ac
counted for by reason of the great
quantities of wheat that have gone
east for export and corn that has
gone south. The figures in bushels
now and one year ago are:

Former Owner of W
. Vernon Club Says
Coast Race Fixed
San Francisco, Jan. 22. A charge
that last year's pennant race in the
Pacific Coast Base Ball league was
"fixed" so that the Vernon club could
not win was made in a statement by
Edward R. Maier, former owner of
the clufc, printed here today. Maier
wag expelled from membership in the
league last September.
At that time the explanation of
Maier departure generally accepted
was that tie did not get along with
the directors.
"From the start everything was
framed against me and against the
Vernon club," the statement said.
"It has been brought to my attention
that as far back as 1912, when the
Vernon club was beaten. by the frac
tion of a point in the race for the
pennant with Oakland, members of
the Los Angeles team upon its de
parture for San Francisco, the scene
of the final series, declared that Ver
non would never win the pennant if
they could help it.
"In the final game of . the season,
tne one on which ningea tne race it
self, a certain Los Angeles pitcher,
whose turn it was to work, was told
he could pitch the game only bn con
dition that he would agree to lose.
He indignantly refused to enter into
any such agreement and he was not
permitted to pitch."
r A. T. Baum, president of the Pa
cific Coast league, had this to say of
Maier's statement:
"Such false and unfounded state
ments and accusations are not worth
comment The Pacific Coast league
is always ready and glad to put the
question of the games honesty and
squarely up to the judgment of its
patrons. The answer will come from
them."
Shortage of Food
'And Coal at Berlin
T . .
Is Becoming Acute
O
London, Jan. 22. The scarcity of
foodstuffs in Germany, especially in
Berlin, is increasing, according to an
Amsterdam dispatch to Reuters, quot
ing Berlin newspapers. From Decem
ber 23 to December 28, according to
the dispatch, the maximum supply
per head was three pounds of potatoes
and four pounds of kohl rabi. From
December 24 to December 27 rations
of seven ounces of flour were avail
able, but for an entire week the con
sumer could only get three ounces
of butter and no margarine.
The dispatch says that people ap
plying for popular feeding in Berlin
increased last week to 22,000 and res
taurant keepers informed their cus
tomers that they may bring potatoes
to the eating houses, where they will
be cooked for them. Owing to the
shortage of coal theaters and restau
rant are said to have, been insuffi
ciently heated in the last few days
and many people who attend the the
aters are reported to have sat through
the performance in fur coats. The
public swimming baths in Berlin have
been closed from December 22.
Vorwaerts says that General Groe
ner, head of the department of muni
tions, told the auxiliary civil serv
ice committee on January 20 that the
difficulties in railroad transportation,
which had created a serious situation,
would soon be overcome and that he
hoped that the coal supply would
soon tie normal again. General Groe.
ner denied that lack of meat was due
to transportation troubles, but attrib
uted it to inadequate methods of dis
tributing. Woman Who Saw Napoleon
Buried Dies- in London
(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
London, Dec. 24. The last sur
vivor of those who were present at
the funeral of the great Napoleon has
just died in a suburb.of London. She
was Mrs. D. Owen, daughter of Cap
tain James Bennett of the St. Helena
regiment. She was nearly 96 years
old. Mrs. Owen was born on the
island on January 26, 1821. and when
a few months old was taken by her
mother to the emperor's funeral on
May 9. When the body was exhumed
in 1840 she was one of the women
of St. Helena who worked and pre
sented an embroidered silk flair which
was unfurled at the stern of the boat
containing the coffin as it left the
shores of St. Helena.
BRANDEIS BATTLE
: RANGERS TONIGHT
Independent Champs of Omaha
Clash With Oklahoma Quin
' tet at 7. M. 0. A.
CHUSCH LEAGUE DISPUTE
Omaha basket ball fans are in for
a treat tonight, when the crack Bran
deis five, indepedenent champions of
Omaha, clash, with the fast Oklahoma
Ranger quintet at the Young Men's
Christian association. ,
Despite their defeat at the hands
of Nebraska university last week the
Brandeis are looking forward to a
victory tonight. The local flippers are
playing together in an improved fash
ion and are becoming more adept at
breaking up their opponents' defense.
The Oklahoma Rangers, however,
come to Omaha widely heralded as
one of the most proficient quintets in
the country. They are returning from
a trip to the Pacific coast that was
largely marked by victories and if the
Brandeis defeat the Oklahomans they
will be achieving quite a feat.
Manager Isaacson expects to send
the full strength of the Brandeis
against the invaders including Stryker,
Rectdr, Burkenroad, Ritchie and
Koran.
In addition to the Brandeis-Ranger
contest-the championship of the
Church league will be at stake at the
"Y" tonight. The First Methodists
Wops and the Calvary Baptists, who
are the premier fives of the Church
loop, will clash as a preliminary fray.
Extra Daily Meal
For Quarter Million
Belgian Children
New York, Jan. 22. The giving of
an extra daily meal to 250,000 Bel
gian school children was the greatest
accomplishment of the American
commission for relief in Belgium, in
the opinion of its chairman, Herbert
C. Hoover, who has just arrived here
from Liverpool. Mr. Hoover today
began with his colleagues to devise
plans for another year.
The extra meal consists of only
meat hash and bread, the commis
sioner said, but it has helped greatly
to increase tne artenaance at scnooi.
M"y chi,drn piously had
Imained at home because their oar-
ents feared they would go hungry
it aiiowea to go 10 scnooi.
Mr. Hoover said there were 5,500,
000 destitute persons in Belgium and
2,000,000 in France, and it will take
approximately $150,000,000 to carry on
the work of the commissioner an
other year.
"The situation hi far worse than
it has been at any time since the war
started," he declared. "It is a re
sult of a steady degeneration among
the people."
Only a negligible amount of busi
ness is transacted in Belgium, Mr.
Hoover said. AH social and intel
lectual life is at a standstill, the fa
mous universities are closed and the
professors either have scattered or
sacrificed their lives for their coun
try. Troop Train Hits Freight
And Kills Many Soldiers
(Correspondence of Tbn Associated Press.)
Tokio, Dec. 30. The worst railroad
accident in the .history of- Japan oc
curred December 1 as a result of a
collision between a troop train and
a freight, eighteen soldiers and three
railroadmen were killed, fifty-three
soldiers were badly injured and about
ninty-three others slightly hurt. The
troop train was transporting 843
recruits to join their regiments and to
begin their military service. They
were all young men, from 18 to 20
years of age.
The train was on its way from Sen
dai to Hirosaki, the headquarters of
the Eighth army division and.just be
fore midnight, while traveling at a
high rate of speed, it crashed into the
freight train which had left Aomori
a few hours before.
As the recruits had not yet formally
enlisted in the army neither the fam
ilies of the dead nor the injured
recruits benefit by the military law
which accords relief to men who have
died or who have been injured in the
service of their country.
American Shoe Invasion
Of Britain Breaks Record

London, Dec. 25. During the year
just closed the imports of boots and
shoes from abroad exceeded in value
the record for the biggest year of the

while the exports of British shoes ex
ceeded by more than $5,000,000 the
highest total of pre-war times.

Archbishop Harty
Visits St. Agnes'
On the South Side
Archbishop Harty visited St, Ag
nes' church in the South Side Sun
day. A crowded church greeted him
as he took his place on the impro
vised throne within the sanctuary,
wearing the resplendent robes of hia
high office. It was the prelate's first
official visit to any of the parishes
within his jurisdiction.
The archbishop spoke briefly to the
parishioners after mass had ended. He
thanked the people for their zealoug
co-operation in things of the church.
"I wondered," he said, "if Omahans
would be as kind to me as the men
and women of the Philippines were.
i oecmeu it almost impossmic at nrst,
but now, since my cordial reception
;.t St. Cecilia's cathedral, that warm
welcome which Omahans gave me at
a banquet at the Fontenelle and this,
your assurances of help in my endeav
ors, compels me to believe that here
I have found a home and a people
worthy of comparison with my be
loved old home in Manila.
Father Borah of St. Bridget's
church preached a sermon on the life
of St. Agnes, which won a remark of
praise from the archbishop. Father
Ahern was celebrant of the mass. Fa
ther Zaplotnik was deacon and Fa
ther Borah subdeacon. Father Jenette
assisted at the prelate's throne o.nd
Fathers Harrington and McCarthy
were deacons of honor.

Catarrh should not be neglected or
