Upper House Resolution De
mands That Hitchcock Vote
for Equal Franchise Meas
ure in Congress.
From a Staff Correspondent
Lincoln. Jan. 13. Nebraska sen
ators today received for considera
tion a resolution introduced by t.
Petrus Peterson of Lancaster coun
ty calling upon Senator Hitchcock
to get behind the woman suffrage
bill and obtain its passage.
The resolution recites the situa
tion in which this measure finds it
self in national congress and
memorializes the United States sen
ate to pass it.
Especially is it set forth that it
is the duty of the Nebraska" senator
to follow the sentiment in his home
state and record his vote in accord
ance therewith.
Another resolution favors a
league of nations.
Flood of Bills Comes.
Both houses got down to work
after the formalities-Jtad been dis
posed of at 2 o'clock today.
A flood of bills poured in from
the members and in tire house, as
in the senate File No. 1 proved to
be the resolution ratifying the na
tional prohibition -measure.
The house bill bore the names of
nearly all of the republican mem
bers as sponsors. The resolution
had been introduced in the senate
last Thursday and passed to second
reading Monday. A communication
had been received by the chief clerk
of the senate from the officers of
the National Hotel Keepers' asso
ciation at New York urging the sen
ate id '"vote against the bill, "as" 1t
was destructive of personal liberty
and of one of the largest industries
of the country, .
The association also asked that it
be notified when the measure-would
come up for action so that it could
have a personal representative pres
ent to speak in debate.
Ratification Up Today.
The message from New York
City was given very little heed by
the members and Hoagland of
North Platte asked that considera
tion of the resolution be hastened
so that Nebraska could be one of
the 36 states necessary to ratify the
bill to make it a constitutional pro
vision. Consideration of the resolution on
third reading will take place at the
Tuesday .session of the senate. The
senate ratification resolution prob
ably will be substituted for "the
house bill and may be formally
passed by the legislature Wednes
day at the latest.
The civil administration code, a
bulky volume was then read by the
chief clerk of the senate. Among
other senate bills was one favoring
woman's suffrage.
In the house bills were introduced
for the purpose of creating a capitol

President of Friends of
Art Attacks Omahans
For Lack of Appreciation
Says People Would Rather Crowd Movie Than See
Exhibit at Fontenelle; Musf Have Beautiful
. Pictures to Cultivate Our Taste
in Art.
John Lee Webstf r, president of
the Friends of Art, is "peeved." He
doesn't mince any words either in
telling what he thinks of Omahans
in general and poseurs as lovers of
art in particular, for their failure to
attend the art exhibit in the Fonte
nelle. '
. "Omahans would rather crowd
some fool 10 cent movie that does
nothing to instruct or elevate .them
than view, free of charge, the finest
art collection ever broughfMo Oma
ha. "There the pictures hang in the
Fontenelle, and practicallyf no one
has interest enough to go and look
at them. No wonder the whole
country is critical of Omaha as a
lover of the beautiful and artistic.
All they know of Omaha is that it
is a good business city.
''Why, Pheonix and Tucson,
Ariz., on the edge of the desert,
cities whose combined population
does not equal Omaha, have done
more for art than Omaha.
Small Crowd Sunday.
Slightly moVe than 400 people
visited the art gallery Sunday.
There should have been at least
4,000 in ,a town of 200,000 popula
tion like Omaha. Monday morning
there were only 39.
Six hundred members of the So
ciety of Fine Arts and 250 members
of the Friends of Art were handled
no less carefully by Mr. Webster.

Newport News, Va.. Jan. 13,
Having been split into four detach
ments, the One Hundred and Twen-i
ty-seventh field artillery, the old
Fourth Nebraska guards, started its
movement westward ' and home
ward today. The first contingent
departed, this afternoon with shouts
and songs for Ami Arbor, Mich.
The Camp Dodge contingent will
leave Wednesday morning. The
Camp Cody detachment the same
day, and the Camp Funston detach
ment Friday afternoon. The Three
Hundred and Thirty-eighth field ar
tillery, commanded by Colonel Rejf-
koff, and accompanied by Bijig. Gen.
S. M. Foote, left Camp Stuart 'Janu
ary V and 1U, and should reach
Camp Dodge this afternoon.
Soon to Reach Home.
According to high army officials
here, the regiments are split up into
detachments, that the members may
be demobilized in camps nearest
their homes. It is understood ithat
all the Nebraska men wilf be mus
tered out of service after they are
in home camps 48 hours, which
means that in five or six days many
Nebraska homes will be cheered
and held spellbound with tales of
France and the battlefields.
The Camp "Dodge contingent of
the One Hundred and Twenty-sev
enth will travel over the Chesa
peake and Ohio railroad 'to Cincin
nati; over the Pennsylvania to Chi
cago and thence over the Burling
ton to Des Moines and Camp Dodge.
They will reach the interior camp
three days after leaving this city. ,
Nebraska Boy Stowaway.
The naval transport Bali which
arrived in port last night, brought
one Nebraska boy, Maynard Brown
of Grant. He came as a stowaway,
and excited great interest on board
when discovered. The soldiers and
bluejackets made much ' over him,
and .treat the youngster with the
greatest of respect and courtesy.
His story is that he was associated
with an American gas company in
France and had somehow lost con
nection with his employers.
Depressed and dissatisfied, he
stowed away on board the Bali,
which carried 50 casualty soldiers
home, and didn't come out of hiding
until hundreds of miles were be
tween him and France. - He is in ar
gument with immigration officials
here this afternoon.
- Army troop movement officers
state this afternoon that the Min
nesota national guard, the One Hun

''If Omaha wants to take its place
among the real cities of America,
where intelligence, culture and re
finement' are recognized, it must

Should Build Art Gallery.
"We've got to build an art gal
lery. We'll get no recognition as a
city of refinement until we do. We
must have beautiful pictures U
which to look in order to cultivate
our taste in art."
' Mr. Webster compared the Eu
ropean's love for works of art with
the colossal indifference of Amer
icans. ."The Huns, brutal as they are,
valued the works of art in the. cit
ies they captured more than they
did human life. It was the first
thing they appropriated. The citi
zens of Venice in Italy hid their art
treasures when they feared inva
sion by the Austrians. They con
sidered the safety of their art works
more than the city itself.
"The first demand of the allies
was that its stolen works of art be
restored. That was as ..arrive
to them as the return of battleships.
Compare this feeling with that of
Omaha toward the valuable paint
ings, for instance, that are hung in
tl.e public library. Only one per
son in 10 knows that ; they are
there even."
The exhibit of paintings in the
Fontenelle will, remain until Janu
