THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1918.
GOVERNOR HAS
MADE NO REPORT
TO THE PUBLIC
No Meeting of Americanization
Committee Till Afta Elec
tion; Judge Sullivan
Declines to Serve.
Not until after election, according
to the present program, will the
Americanization committee, ap
pointed by the governor to map out
a plan for the Americanization of
the foreign element of Nebraska,
hold another meeting and try to get
together on some feasible plan.
i. i.i ivjjui icu incic nas uccn con
siderable friction over a lengthy re
port that was submitted by the sub
committee, appointed after the Lin
coln meeting, and which was pre
sented to the main committee at the
Omaha merlins? at th Pavtnn hn.
tel. some weeks ago.
The report of the subcommittee,
it is said, was too lengthy and not
virile enough in its plans or recom-
jMcmiduuiis io suit some or tne
members, who stood for an out-and-out
Americanization plan.
The matter was put up to the
governor, as Judge W. V. Allen
said, "for him to give publicity to
it." As yet the governor has failed
to make the report public.
About that time, C. H. Gustafson,
president of the Farmer's Union,
who was a member of the commit
tee, resigned. "I resigned," said he,
"because the demands of business
made it impossible for me to devote
my time to the proceedings of the
organization. If there is any poli
tics in it, I am glad I am out."
Mr. Gustafson's resignation was
accepted by Governor Neville, who
appointed Judge J. J. Sullivan to fill
the vacancy.
Judge Sullivan has declined to
serve. He says: "My wife is in the
hospital of the Mayo's at Rochester,
Minn., and conditions are such that
I feel that I must devote myself
more or less to her and my affairs,
complicated by her sickness, does
not allow me time to devote to the
work which the governor proposed
to honor me with. I have not heard
of. any one being named to fill the
place."
Bancroft Man Bound Over
; to District Court Tuesday
Carl Behnke of Bancroft, Neb.,
was bound over to district court by
County Judge Crawford after a pre
liminary hearing on a charge that
Behnke is the father of a 2-year-ol
' girl of Kate Hanson, complain
ant. Mrs. Hanson was housekeeper
at the Behnke farm and in court she
related that she had been divorced
from two husbands.

Buying Movement Expands in
High Grade Investment Se
curities; Sales Amount
to Over 2,000,000.
New York, Oct. 22. The stock market
seemed to draw away from the war and
Its more Immediate Influences today, a
very large proportion of the trading con
centralng In high grade Investment shares.
There was a pronounced expansion of the
recent buying movement In rails, coalers,
under guidance of Reading gaining 1 to
almost 4 points, while Pacifies and many
low-priced transportations gained I to t
points.
Shipping also reflected a revival of
Inquiry from substantial quarters, mostly
at the year's maximums. Atlantic Gulf
made an extreme advance of 6 points and
Marine preferred and the 6 per cent bonds
gained appreciably, foreshadowing early
announcement of the company's capital re
adjustment plan.
Oils ceased to bo a bullish factor, the
gyrations of that group making traders
cautious. Mexican Petroleum was heavy
throughout, showing a decline of 17 points
at the end, while Royal Dutch foreftted 12
points and Texas Company 3.
United States Steel did not furnish Its
usual quota, being pressed In point of
activity by Southern Pacific and Marines.
Traversing a narrow radius, Steel closed
unchanged at 110.
Other industrials and equipments, in
cluding war shares, were firm to strong,
Bothlehem, Crucible, Lackawanna and
Midvale Steels, as well as Baldwin and
American Locomotives, American Car and
Industrial Alcohol gaining 1 to 4 points
at' their best.
Tobaccos were among the few specialties
to exhibit marked strength, with some
of the low-priced motors, General Motors,
however, weakening at the close. Sales
amounted to 2,100,000 shares.
Bonis were strong on the further rise
In speculative railway Issues, the foreign
division recording no material change.
Liberty issues, notably the 34s continued
to ease. Total sules (par value) aggre
gated $10,250,000. Old United States bonds
unaltered on oall.

2 cars of barley. Receipts a week ago

of the choice white, were reported out ot

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Corn Market Swings Upward When True
Nature of German Note Develops.
Chicago, Oct. 22. Corn took a decided
upward swing in price today owing to
general belief that the Berlin answer to
President Wilson was Insufficient. The
market colsed strong, 8c to 3c net
higher, with November $1.23 to $1.23
and December $1.20 to $1.20. Oats fin
ished lc to 2o up, and provisions at gains
of 15 cents to $1.45.
Sharp advances with which the corn
market opened wpre well maintained
throughout the session. After the first
rush of buying had been sattsfied mod
erate reaction from initial top figures
ensued, but bullish sentiment gathered ad
ditional force, and was virtually unchecked
as the day came to an end. Attention
of traders seemed to be wholly absorbed
by the fact that the unofficial text of
the German statement differed widely
from the bearish version that yesterday
had caused values to break. Purchasing,
however, was confined mostly to shorts.
Offerings were rather light, especially in
the final hour.
Oats merely reflected the fluctuations of
corn. Receipts were not large, but there
was an absence of seaboard business.
Strength In provisions grew chiefly out
of buying that was ascribed to packers.
Dealings were for the most part in Jan
uary deliveries, on which restrictions as to
price changes during any single day have
been removed.
In the late trading, opinion as to the
Insufficiency of the German answer ap
parently rew more emphatic and the
market closed strong, 3 to 8c net
higher, with November $1.23 to 1.23
and December $1.20 to 1.20.
Irregularity of hog quotations led after
ward to something of a setback. v

Workmen Now Putting
The Finishing Touches
On the Athletic Club
The Orchard-Wilhelm company
put its full force of decorators at
work on the new Athletic Club
building Monday morning, and if
nothing unforseen happens, they ex
pect to have the building all com
plete in about four of five weeks.
The electric light fixtures are still
to be put in place and the tile set
ters have a few small jobs to com
plete before the work of the gen
eral contractors is entirely done.
The kitchen equipment, which is
among the most complete in the
whole country, is all installed and
ready for use. The silverware and
other furnishings for the t dining
room are all unpacked and in their
places and a goodly supply of gro
ceries have been purchased.
Two of the store rooms have al
ready been rented and negotiations
are being made for the rental of a
third. Twenty-two rooms have been
rented to persons who will occupy
them permanently. Others are in
demand, but the management pre
fers to retain them for transient
trade.
When the club is finished it will
be one of the most complete of its
kind in the country and Omaha
boosters will have built a permanent
memorial which will be a credit to
the city.

ment service, has received circulars

FAMOUS BATTLE
OF KILKENNY
CATS REPEATED
"Lion's Heads" and "Lion's
Tails" Scrap Winds Up Likr
; All Claims Now - ;
Settled.
Story;
The historv of the famous ibattl
of the Kilkenny cats has been re ' !
peated in that of the "Lion's Heads,"- ,
and the "Lion's Tails." ;
It will be recollected that when . ...
the battle of the Kilkenny cats wai !
concluded there was neither head or . j
tail left to the combatant felines
who engaged in the historic conflict,
the story of which has gone ringing
down the ages.
Just so is the conclusion of the
history of the suborganization oi
tho Lion Bonding and Casualty com- '.
pany. The "Lion's Heads" formed
of executives ol the company, and
which, through the process of evo- !
lution, by being separated from the i
payroll, became the "Lion's Tails,"
no longer exists as heads or tails. I
In fact there "ain't any such animal.' ' i
All last week there was consider- - j
able friction between the members
of the "Lion's Heads" as personified
bj the present executives of the ;
company, and the "Lion's Tails," j
characterized by Vice President
Luikhart as disgruntled employes.
Most of the friction existed over i
claims for wages, or salaries, al
leged by tl former employes to be
due them. AH these claims have ,
been settled, it is reported, and some
of the former employes, it is sail,
settled so satisfactorily that they -are
back on their old jobs.
So endeth this chapter.
