THE BEE: OMAHA, MONDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1918. HALL TURNS REPORT OVER TOPRINTERS State Treasurer Takes Up Question of Leases on Land on Which Potash Lakes Are Found. From a Staff Correspondent. Lincoln, Neb., Dec. IS (Special.) --The biennial report of State Treasurer Hall, now in the hands of the printer, covers some matters of importance and does not in any manner attempt to shield his asso ciates on the state board who have persisted in out-voting him on some things he believed for the best in terests of the state. In speaking of the potash industry, Mr. Hall, who contended from the start that the mineral rights should be let to the highest bidder and which the state supreme court in an opinion handed down Saturday takes the same stand, he says: "This report we believe should have shown receipts of several hun dred dollars from potash which would have been produced from the state sehool lands. Willing to Bid. "The lease holders of these lands were ready and willing to enter com petition, bidding for the rights to extract these minerals. They even urged the leasing of these rights to the highest and best bidder in order that the state's interests might be fully protected and that they and every other citizen of the state might have a fair opportunity and the equal right of every other to get hold of and develop and produce potash. 1 "If this plan of equal right to all and special privileges to none had been followed and put into operation we would have been producing pot ash by the thousands of tons months ago from state school lands and the treasury would have received hun dreds of thousands of dollars to the credit of the temporary school fund. But when the lease holder became convinced that he was not to have an equal chance with any and all others to produce potash from the lands upon which he already held an agricultural lease, he went into court and knocked the production of potash from state school lands into a 'cocked hat.' Should Pass Law. "The incoming legislature should pass a law for the taking possession of these valuable minerals by con demnation proceedings the paying of proper and adequate damages to present lease holders and then throw potash production open to every body on the competitive bidding or good faith plan." In speaking of the financial busi ness of the state Mr. Hall says: "The receipts and disbursements for the biennium were the largest in the history of the state, a natural consequence because the state has been increasing in wealth and busi ness by leaps and bounds and has kept pace with the progress of the times in education, better proper ties and improvements and improv ed methods in caring for the wards of the state. The receipts are shown to be $15,026,919.41, grouped as follows: War Tax Levy t 7.365,287.18 Lease and Interest on School Lands and Funds, etc 1, 868,200. 25 Bonds and Land Sale Con tracts Paid 2,000.106 61 V.

"The disbursements, he says, of $15,445,849.60 reflect quite an ex ageration of the true expense of the state government.

Grand Island, Dec. IS. Mrs Bunting, a member of Burkett, was entertained in Grand Island yester day by Mrs. Eli Barnes, wite of a former commandant of the home. Thomas Turner was called to Omaha on account of the death of a grandchild. A rumor has been started to the effect that there are some 50 cases of influenza at the home. This is incorrect. Not one case has been reported since the outbreak of the epidemic. Mr. and Mrs. Masterson, who have charge of the culinary depart ment of the convalescent hospital for the last 19 months, have resign ed, effective December 17. After a short rest they expect to go to Marshalltown, la., where they win take similar positions in the sol dier's home there. Teuton Paper Says Yankee Soldiers Are Goad Fellows With the American Army of Oc cupation, Dec. 15. (By Associated Press.) The American troopers were greeted as "good fellows" by the Mayen Volks Zeitung. The Third American army is temporarily at Mayen, Rhenish Prussia, about 15 miles west of Coblenz. "Mayen resembles a great army camp," says the Volks Zeitung. "American troops of all arms of the service pour through the streets. They sometimes take quarters in the neighborhood for a day's rest on their way to Coblenz, automobiles of all kfnds go through the streets, making the thoroughfares danger ous for children. "The troops are well behaved. Their intercourse with the people is correct and we willingly admit that the Americans are good fellows." GOULD PROVIDE WORK FOR MANY OVERSEAS MEN Maupin Says Discharged Sol diers Could Be Given Work On Irrigation Projects; Benefit State. From a Staff Correspondent. Lincoln, Dec. ' 15. (Special.) "The government may easily solve the problem of employment for the returning soldiers, or at least those from Nebraska," said Will Maupin of the publicity department, the other day. "And it can furnish the employment without cost. There are two big irrigation projects in Nebraska, one under way and one in course of construction. The Ger-i:.g-Fort Laramie irrigation project is already financially provided for, the government having set aside the necessary money and appropriating it is needed. The first units of this project were let to private contrac tors, but now the reclamation ser vice has taken over the work and will handle it. Operated by Electricity. "A hydro-electric development is being put in at the headgates near Henry, and the drag lines will be electrically operated. The rapid completion of this work would not only furnish remunerative employ ment for hundreds of men, many of them skilled laborers, but would speedily open an immense area to diversified farming. "The proposed irrigation project in Phelps and Kearney counties would not only insure splendid crops every year on a vast area but would furnish employment for many men for two or three years. "These vast irrigation projects con structed by the government would go a long ways toward solving the labor problem and would not cost Uncle Sam a ceit. Every dollar expended by the government in their construction would be repaid by the landowners receiving the benefits. And what it means to the develop ment and prosperity of Nebraska is beyond computation. More Money for Farmers. "The completion of the Gering Fort Laramie projects means three or four more beet sugar factories in the North Platte valley, which would mean added millions of rev enue for Nebraska farmers. "These two projects have their counterparts in many other sections of the west. Nebraska is, or should be, intensely interested in the plans recently outlined by Secretary Lane for the development of the arid and scmiarid districts of the west." Wealth of Nebraska In Its Live Stock and Farm Products Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 15 (Special.) According to the crop report of E. R.

YESTERDAY'S ANSWER night tide down nose at Dutchman' f cAift. AT THE THEATERS ALBERTINA RASCH and eight young women in a repertoire of dance numbers win first place in this week's vaudeville pro gram at the Orpheum. The open ing number, a reverie, by Miss Rasch and coryphees modestly ar rayed in white, suggests the poetry of motion. The toe-dancing of Miss Rasch is a distinctive feature of the offering and her "Rhapsodie Hon groise," in closing, leaves no doubt that she is a conscientious exponent of her art. Bayonne Whipple and Walter Huston depart from the beaten path in their new offering, "Shoes." The action occurs in a women's shoe store, with Huston as the salesman and Miss Whipple as the customer. Types of shoes are cleverly used to symbolize the thought expressed in philosophic dialogue between the twain. Milt Collins is back again with his patriotic chatter in which he re fers to Russia as a shooting gallery and states that that country de clared peace with its enemv and then declared war against itself. He asseretd that the Huns should now have no cause for complaint in con nection with their request that this country should send them ammuni tion. Jack Alfred and company offer a meritorious acrobatic act which is staged as if given as a rehearsal. Lew Pistel and O. H. Cushing pre sent "A Breath of Old-Time Min strelsy," under the title of "The Stranded Minstrels." Yvette and Saranoff, youthful entertainers, play violins, sing and dance and other wise add to the bill. James Watts and Rex Storey close with an amus ing "Treat in Travesty," which is good for what ails one. An additional feature to the bill is the appearance of James J. Mor ton who appears for a few minutes before each act and offers burlesque announcements of what is to fol low. The motion pictures of the official weekly allied war review are unusually interesting, one scene showing General Pershing pinning war crosses on several heroes. Scenes in Utah are projected by the Orpheum travel weekly. Harvey's min'strels are back at the Boyd, giving a bang-up enter tainment, to the delight of the crowds that assembled yesterdav. The organization is well calculated to revive all the merriment and mon keyshines of the traditional minstrel show, at the same time preserving the modern notions of ragtime and jazz, so that everybody can have a little something as the program rolls along. Clarence Powell and Ed Tolliver still lead the fun-making, each supreme in his own way. but Frank Kirk, Joe Means and other comedians contribute to the laughter. Kirk's musical act is one hard to equal, and Joe Means' sonp about "Somebody Done Me Wrong" brings a riot even Bert Williams would be proud of. Little Miss Cannon does a buck and wing dance of the old-fashioned sort that really is a treat in these dnvs when that sort of footwork is seldom seen. In the olio are a number of specialtv acts, each worth watching, while the singing is of high order and very enjoyable. The engagement is for four nights, and another matinee will be played on Wednesday. With all attendance records ex celled, with a length of stay in Omaha only equaled by "The Birth of a Nation," D. W. Griffith's won derful photoplay production "Hearts of the World" is now playing its fifth and final week at the Brandeis theater, where it closes Saturday night. The story contains the ele ments of romance, comedy, pictorial beauty, grandeur of scenes and con ception, music and drama in the background, after the idyllic open ing scenes, stands always the lurid tragedy of the world's greatest awr. "Cycle of Mirth" is a whirl of beautiful, youthful, singing girls as the headline attraction at the Em press theater. Handsome costumes and stage settings add to he produc tion. Elaborate dressing and stag ing add to the specialty act of Ann Butler and Hal Germanus who are featured ' on tlje bill. Beautiful Valyda under the caption, "A Song of Surprise," offers an out of the ordinary song number in a double voice. Mann and Mallory have a comedy number replete with many unique ideas. Juggling DeLisle has a novelty entertainment with a rou tine of clever juggling events. Teggy Hland as a vivacious school girl in "Caught in the Act." defies all restraint and makes a pic ture of unusual charm. Amid thp shrieking fire whistles and police calls the novelty romance in brought to a happy end. There's bound to be any amount of disappointed people walk away from the Gayety's box office this week as that theater is religiously keeping its voluntary word to the city health department that only every other row of seats would be sold, as a possible influenza pre ventive. The goodness of the Bur lesque Wonder Show will result in over-flowing attendanc at night, so the theater management requests that Gayetyites assist by attending the daily "tired shoppers" matinee at 2:15. Arkansas Voters Reject Proposed New Constitution Little Rock, Ark., Dec. 15. De-i feat of the proposed new constitu tion, which was submitted to Ar kansas voters yesterday, is conceded by its supporters. Incomplete re turns show 16,733 votes in favor of adoption and 18,076 against. CALDWELL ASKS SUPPORT FOR EED CROSSWORKERS Vice Chairman Tells of the Way Local Chapter is Car ing for Boys Back From Cantonments. Vice Chairman S. S. Caldwell, in making announcement of the Christ mas Red Cross membership drive which starts today, tells of the work done by the local chapter and which must be continued. Here is Mr Caldwell's statement: "The Omaha chapter looked after 1,800 families of dependent soldiers last year. This work will go on till all the American troops have return ed and the men are self-supporting "The boys are passing through every day from the cantonments to engage in civil occupations. They did not go to France, God knows that they were willing and the dis appointment is a grevious thing to bear. They are worried about what they are going to do and dread starting life all over again. b Meets All Soldiers. "The Red Cross meets the soldiers at the depot. They are given a warm meal in the restaurant. They are cheered with human companionship in the rest room, their wants are looked after. This work must con tinue on a constantly increasing scale. Car after car of wounded men are coming through Omaha on their way to reconstruction hospitals in Colorado and California. The train rolls in silently. The boys, tired and nervous with suffering, creep out They are despondent dreading the weary months of convalescence. The Red Cross canteen workers welcome them. Six beds wait in the Red Cross rest room as neat as in any hos pital. The sick are taken out some times on stretchers, bathed and fed and their beds on the train remade with clean sheets. The soldiers who are able to travel when the time per mits are escorted uptown by auto mobiles, given a good meal in a clown town hotel and taken to the best show the town affords. This work is paid by the Red Cross. Boys who arrive sick and despondent go out with a cheer and a shout. They feel that the country appreciates their sacrifice and that they are not forgotten. This is the spirit of the Red Cross. A few local reasons why we should answer the Red Cross Roll Call. "We owe it to ourselves who staid home. "We owe it to the fathers and mothers who have boys in service. "We owe it to the soldier who stood ready to give his life for an ideal whether he sailed to France or toiled to fit himself for service in this country. "We owe it to the one thousand Omaha boys who died that our country might live honored and re spected by all free people." Packing Company Will Give Employes Chance to Share in Its Profits Chicago, Dec. 15. Thomas E.

This does not af fect the cash bonus system and the system and the employes will re ceive the isual Christmas gift of 10 per cent of their last six months' salary. South Side Vincent F. Vacek, South Side Merchant, is Dead Vincent F. Vacek, head of the Vacek department store, died Sat urday of influenza after an illness of one week. He was 28 years old and had managed the Vacek store since the death of his father, seven years ago. He was married to Helen Yates, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Yates, Omaha, eight months ago. Mr. Vacek was obliged to give up his large Colorado mining interests on the death of his father. The funeral will be held this afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Korisko under taking parlors, Twenty-first and Q streets with interment in the Bo hemian National cemetery. Many South Side Girls Taking Sewing Lessens Every Saturday afternoon from 2 to 4 o'clock, eight little, industrious girls, ranging in age from 9 to 12 years come to the South Side Social Settlement to receive lessons in sew ing. The first things the girls made were sewing bags, but they have ad vanced nov to cover-all aprons and dresses and middy blouses. Anna Schimkincz is the star for she has made the greatest number of gar ments. These include one middy blouse, two cover-all aprons, one dress and two sewing bags.

"The Road Through the Dark," Clara Kimball Young's latest photo play, being shown in the Rialto thea ttr, is a love story of the great war. The scenes are laid both in Europe and America during the early stages of the war. Miss Young appears in the role of a French girl who be comes the companion of a German offictr to save a towtiful of her countrymen. She voluntarily be comes a French spy and through letters to her lover discloses secrets oi" the enemy.

"They sacrifice their health, fu ture, their all yes their very lives for the sick, wounded and needyj; in view of these facts, can any per son refuse to give a dollar?" Thus spoke Sergeant R. R. Tatton of the Scottish Canadian Royal Highland e lore commonly known as the "Black' Watch," when asked what the Red Cross did for the boys 'over there'. "No man can ever express in words what the Red Cross means to him when he is sick or wounded and one of these Angels of Mercy conies to him to relieve him of suffering, continued Sergeant Patton. I was picked up by a Red Cross nurse on a battlefield near Rheims and carried to a dug-out. While she was administnng to my wounds, the firing became so heavy that an army surgeon ordered her to leave. ihe said, When they take the wounded, I will go. If they must stay here, it is my duty to stay as long as I have life and am able to do anything for them." Wounded Five Times. Sergeant Tatton wears five chev- tons, which signify that he has been wounded five times. He is one of the twelve survivors of the Black Watch regiment, which had an enrollment of 1,200 men. Tatton had four brothers, four uncles and three cousins, who en listed and all have been killed in action, he alone surviving. He says that the work of the Red Cross is just commencing as the reconstruction- of Europe is just started. "It is mighty pleasant, when you have been on a train all day, to have somi Red Cross nurses at the sta tion with food, and above all the cheering smile which they always have," he says. "The Red Cross drive is on. Let us dig down into our pockets and give until it hurts, in order that these nurses can perform, without hindrance, the grand and noble work for which they are called.
