THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JANUARY 12, 1819.
EIGHT-HOUR DAY
TO BE OBSERVED
III STATE HOUSE
Offices to Remain Open Dur
ing Noon Hour; Will Mean
Longer Hours in Some
Departments.
From a Staff Correspondent.
Lincoln, Jan. 11, (Special.) An
eight-hour work day is to go into
effect at the state house next Mon
day, and the various offices will re
main open for the transaction of
business during the noon hour. Em
ployes will be given an hour off for
lunch, but will not all go at once.
The working time in each depart
ment will be, generally speaking,
from 8 to 12 and 1 to 5.
In the railway commission and
one or two other departments this
will mean no increase in the hours
of labor, as the employes have here
tofore worked on a schedule of eight
to nine hours a day. In some of
the departments, however, this will
mean additional time, as the em
ployes have not been showing up
until 8:.W, have been given an hour
and a half for lunch and have gen
erally quit at S o'clock.
No fpecial provision has been
made for Saturday afternoons as
'yet, but the state officers may de
cide to shorten up the regular hours
on that day.

f NEW TREASURER
TAKES (PM
-OF STATE FUNDS
Ex-Treasurer George E. Hall
Turns Over Bonds and Se
curities to Successor;
Shows $1,715,816.
From a Staff Correspondent.
Lincoln, Jan. 11. (Special.) Over
$1,200,000 of cash on hand or de
posited in banks and total invest
ments of more than $12,500,000 be
longing to the five educational trust
funds of Nebraska, together with
$33,000 bonds and warrants held. In
lieu of cash, made up the turnover of
state funds which has just been com
pleted between ex-treasurer George
E. Hall and Treasurer D. B. Crop
sty. The transfer was completed this
afternoon when J. M. Gilchrist and
his assistants completed the check of
the books for the new treasurer s
bondsmen. Mr. Cropsey is in posses
sion of all funds and Treasurer Hall
has a receipt showing they were de
livered by him in good order.
Large Overdrafts.
Former Treasurer Hall's state
ment,- dated January 9, when the
new administration took charge,
gave the total balances in all funds
as $1,715,816, but there were 443,202
of overdrafts in state normal, state
aid bridge, university activities and
temporary university funds as an
offset to the gross balance. Deduct
ing $53,000 of bonds and warrants
carried in the cash account, the sum
remaining as actual cash was $1,219,
169. The new treasurer's force is equal
ly divided between the men and
women. Besides Mr. Cropsey, him
self, there are his deputy, E. B.
Ccwles, and Claude Wilmot, who is
temporarily retained from the old
force. Miss Bessie Goff or Fairbury
is bookkeeper, while Miss Margaret
Robinson of Valentine and Miss
Maynette Marks of Lincoln are em
ployed as clerks.
May Make Changes.
Treasurer Cropsey announces that
the requirement for monthly remit
tances will be continued under his
administration. There may be some
change in the policy of depositing
state funds. The plan has heretofore
teen to award them to banks offer
ing the highest interest rate. Most
of the money is now deposited tin
banks in northern and western JJe
fcraska, which are willing to pay 5
per cent, the maximum allowed by
the state guaranty law.
Mr. Cropsey takes the view that
the older sections of the state which
bear a large proportion of the taxes,
are entitled to a proportionate share
of the funds.

South Side
FOREIGNERS OF
SOUTH OMAHA
BURY SAVINGS
Money Brought to Banks
Shows Evidences of Hav
ing Been Hoarded
During War.
Large amounts of money, buried
by South Side foreigners during the
war, are now being deposited in the
outh bide banks, according to J
Kopietz, of the South Side brancli
of the Omaha Loan and Building
association.
"Only a few days ago a foreigner
brought m a large sum of money,
all in silver," said Mr. Kopietz. "I
took it back to a table to count it.
The color and smell of the money
made it evident that it had been
buried for a considerable length of
time.
Mr. Kopietz believes that the tim
idity with which foreigners guard
their savings is due to a lack of
knowledge of the United States
monetary system, which leads to
distrust. He believes that they are
being enlightened by the press, how
ever, along these lines, and since
the war, says there has been a great
increase in deposits.
An amusing incident is told by
Mr. Kopietz in illustrating the gen
eral timidity of foreigners m de
positing their money. A small rob
bery occurred in front of the house
of a Bohemian. A day or so later
the Bohemian appeared at the Loan
and Building association with over
$1,000 which he wished to deposit
John Kralky of the Conservative
Saving and Loan association, south
Side branch, confirms Mr. Kopietz's
statement regarding the increase in
deposits. Fifty new accounts have
been opened by South Side foreign
ers since the armistice has been
signed, according to , Mr. Kralky.
Mr. Kralky has also noticed, evidence

also considers it remarkable that
among a long list of letters which
he has received from people who de
sire to cash War Savings stamps,
due to financial embarrassment,
there is only an occasional foreign

Great sums of money were sent to
southern European countries by
South Siders, according to Mr. Et
