When News of Plot Breaks
According to General Passenger
Agent Basiuger, who was in Chicago
at the time, the publication of the
Zimmermann note, taken to indicate
a plot upon the part of Germany to
involve Mexico and Japin in a war
with the United States, caused in
tense excitement. Papers were
grabbed up from the newsboys and
everywhere groups of men congre
gated, discussing the situation.
Chicago, says Mr. Basiuger, imme
diately began to display its patriotism
by an array of flags. Before noon
Thursday the streets in the down
town section of the city were a'
forest of flags. There were thou-
' sands of them and men and boys sell
junction with representatives uf th
eastern and central associations. At
the Chicago meeting matters havjng
f do with the National Educational
association meeting to be held in
Portland, Ore., early in July were un
der consideration.
It was agreed that the round trip
rate from Omaha to Portland ard re
turn should be $55, the same rate to

HIGH COST OF ONE RADISH
Whether the Boy Scouts in Omaha
will get Into the vacant lot gardening
activities in Omaha as an organiza
tion depends upon how the garden
ing activities contemplated by several
organizations here at the present time
get under way.
As yet the vacant lot gardening
propaganda for this year is some
what vague. "The Welfare boar.d,
the Woman's club and the Commer-
cial club and other organizations are
talking of starting gardening systems
this summer," said Scout Executive
English, "and we as scouts are ready
to get into the field any time that
we learn definitely, who is going to
handle the thing and go through with
it."
Mr. English had three years' ex
perience in the gardening work for
children in Chicago, and he declares
that there are many heartaches (or
the boys unless a better system can
be worked out than he has yet seen
worked
Beartbreaks Galore.
"The owners of the ground would
sell the lots right in the middle of
the summer," he said, "just when the
boys had their crop well under way
and were just about ready toimarket
it. That was heartbreaking to many
of them and we were powerless to
help it. The boys tried to hold me
responsible and I tried to hold the
real estate companies responsible, but
they would not listen. They said it
was ridiculous to expect them to hold
off a sale just on account of a little
garden."
Mr. English says with the laying
of water pipes to water the gardens,
and the paying of men to plow, some
of the garden produce came so high
that one parent in Chicago said
"Well, I think this is great stuff for
the boys, but my radishes cost me 17
cents apiece."
Nevertheless, Mr. English says he
will encourage the boys to do some
gardening this summer, at least in
their own back yards if the scouts
do not actually enter into the cam
paign for gardening on vacant lo.
Jealous, He Pours
Chloroform On
Woman's Pillow
Jealous because Mrs. Jessie James,
45 years old, lavished all her love oji
her husband, a man whose name the
police won't reveal, poured the con
tents of a two-ounce bottle of chloro
form on the pillows in the bed where
Mr. and Mrs. James were sleeping.
It required two hours to restore Mr.
James to consciousness.
Mrs. James, who lives at 801 North
Sixteenth 6treet, told the police the
story of the attempted murder and
gave them the chloroform bottle to
, substantiate her statements. She said
that the man whom she suspects of
trying to kill her and her husband is
a suitor whose attentions she has re
peatedly spurned.
Joe Gerspacher is Busy
Boy at Auto Exposition
Joe 6erspacher of the Toozer-Ger-spacher
Motor company, is one of the
busiest automobile men in the Au
ditorium. To pick out Joe around
the Dort chassis is like trying to pick
a particular bee out of a hive. The
. crowds that are around the Dort
chassis are so large that it requires
a policeman to clear the r Isle.
"The people are deeply interested
in this little Dort car," asserts Ger
spacher, "as it has gained for itself
a reputation of being one of the best
light cars on the market. It trav
els through the sand and mud as
smoothly as a snake through the
grass, and the material that is used
in the construction of this little car
is of superior quality and as the
slogan reads, "The quality goes clear
through."
Stenger Builds Steel
Snowsheds in Wyoming
General Superintendent Stenger of
the Union Pacific is back from Wyo
ming, where since the raising of the
recent snow blockade he has been
superintending the building of the
steel sheds ove- the cuts that were
Swept by the blizzards.
Within the last two weeks the Un
ion Pacific has built two and one
half miles of steel covered snowsheds
in the vicinity of Rock river. The
supports for the sheds are of heavy
timbers and to them is nailed heavy
corrugated steel. The sheds cover
both of the main line tracks through
the cuts and extend back some 250
feet from either end. They are high
enough to clear the head of the tall
est man riding on top of the highest
freight car.
Grain Exchange Rooms
Indicate Patriotism
The trading room of the Omaha
Grain exchange took ' on a patriotic
aspect Friday morning. The wails
fairly bristled with flags. An im
mense big fiag was draped over the
main entrance and, as its folds were
flung out, ifB appearance wao greeted
with cheerl, members of the jxehange
joining in singing "The Star Span
gled Banner."
Along the walls and from the
chandeliers clusters of small flags
were suspended.
