"OVERTIIE TOP"
THIS WEEK PLAN
OF LOAN TEAMS
Orfiaha Subscriptions Far
Ahead of Balance of State, '
Where Purchasing of
Notes Is Backward.
-Another $300,000 was added to
Omab,a' subscription to the Victory
Liberty Joan since Saturday and the
figures at noon yesterday were
$7,800,000, which leaves less than
$1,400,000 still to be secured.
MW expect to go over the top
sure before the end of this veek,"
said Satn Burns, chairman of the
Omaha committee.
The women are still operating the
Liberty bank in the court heme cor
ridor and subscription bureaus run
by the women are in many public
buildings, 'office buildings and
stores. Some of the working teams
are making recanvasses over terri
tory already thoroughly covered
and are bringing in some gleanings
of subscriptions. - " -
State is Backward. .
Omaha is said to be "a shining
star" in comparison with the rest of
the state, from many parts of which
come reports of great backwardness
on the part of the people to sub
scribe. .Less than one-fourth of the
state's quota of $52,000,000 has been
raised - according to reports from
Kansas City headquarters of the
district in which Nebraska is lo
cated. State chairman T. C. Byrne is
bombarding the county workers
, with letters, urging them to renewed
efforts for the loan and he ' eheve's
the state will still go "over .the top"
before the end of the drive.
U. P. Makes Subscription of
Over Two Million to V-Loan
With a subscription of $2,094,000
. the Union Pacific is over the top in
its Victory loan drive, but it is still
going.
Up to last Saturday night 70 . er
cent of the 31,400 officials and em
ployes of the Union Pacific had sub
scribed to the Victory loan. Work
of obtaining subscriptions will be
continued until at least 90 per cent

Judge to Give
Sellers Hearing Today
.n - , .
Sixty-two-year-old Confessed
ployer of "Peggx" Sellers Sues Her for $816.44 and
Is Sued By Her for $2,500. .
Judge Holmes in municipal court
yesterday announced that he will
hand down a decision at 2 o clock
this afternoon in the case of George
C. Chrisman against "Peggy" Sellers
for $816.44, and the latter's counter
claim for $2,500.
Testimony in the case was con-
eluded yesterday and the judge
decided that he would not hear any
arguments by the attorneys.
Peggy, recalled to the witness
stand, declared that she does not
have to sell oil stocks or oil land
leases for a living; that she can
t lav a pipe organ and has had sev
eral offers for her services as or
ganist.
"I have not been in Omaha for
my health," she said.
Explaining certain transactions
which have not been, clear Jo the
court and others, Peggy involved F.
L. Harris of Billings, Mont., in an
alleged attempt to deceive Mr.
Chrisman. She referred to Harris
as having been publisher of an oil
trade journal at Billings and also in
the oil stpek and promotion busi
ness. She said he had been her
former employer and Chrisman re
ferred to Harris as a man whom hi
believed to have been his friend.
"I found out that Mr. Harris in
stigated the whole thing and I re
turned to Omaha to tell Mr. Chris
man," testified Peggy, who added
that Harris inspired several tele
grams sent from Casper, Wyo., in
November to Chrisman, and pur
porting to have been sent by "P.
Gilchrist."
Peggy claimed that when she re-
turned to Omaha, to protect Chris
man from imposition by his sup
posed friends at Billings, Chrisman
told her that he owned 500,000 shares
of stock in the Success Refining
company of Billings, and that she
General Harries to

France on Way Home
J. 'E. Davidson, general manager
of the Nebraska Power company,
has received a letter from Gen.
George H. Harries, who is now sta
tioned at Berlin, former resident city
of William Hohenzollern.
"I understand that news from
Berlin is now more plentiful in the
United States," wrote the general
in a facetious vein.
The letter was dated April 9.
"We Jiave now repatriated all
prisoners except 400,000 Russians.
There were 1,200,000 Russian pris
oners here four months ago," he
wrote.
The general said that he expected
to travel in Russia, thence to Serbia
and Roumania, and then visit France
on his way home.

Says Stepson at Fault
Theodore Overling, 4307 Saratoga
street, called the police last night to
refereee a "scrap" between himself
and his stepson. The police arrest
ed Overling.
Chester Brown, the stepson, says
he'll be in court this morning to ap
pear against Overling, on a charge
of abusing his family.
"He double-crossed me," ex
plained Overling. "He's 08 years
old and hangs around my home all
the time. I wanted the police to
put him out. I couldn't. Then they
arrested mel Can you beat it?"

Decision In '
Lover and Former Em
and Chrisman entered into business
arrangement
"According to the oil code, Mr.
Chrisman, should have given me
$1,000 for having taken him down
to Kentucky and showing him the
oil lands, on which he will make
thousands." ' Peggy cortinued. "I
think it is very unappreaciative of
him."
When the case was called yes
terday Mr. ; Chrisman remarked,
"This affair can be over as sodn as
possible as' far as I am concerned,
and I think that Peggy is satisfied,
too."
Wanted to "Freeze" Harris Out.
Peggy said she went into business
witli Chrisman for the avowed pur
pose , of "freezing" Harris out.
Chrisman started the action in
municipal court by obtaining ser
vice of a writ of attachment on
Peggy's personal effects, including
most of her clothes, which are now
in storage with a constable holding
the key.
Chrisman's claim is based on al
leged unpaid amounts of money ad
vanced by him to Peggy during a
period of- several months. Peggy
came back with allegations that
Chrisman spent this money on his
own account and even made love 'to
her.
She filed a counter-claim for
$2,500 for alleged services as office
manager, promoter and posing as a
"Kentucky heiress," learning the
southern dialect, and an assortment
of other work.
She alleged that Chrisman re
ferred to her and introduced her
as his protege, the mascot of the
company. "The Little Lady from
Kentucky," and other sobriquets.
Mr. Chrisman entered vigorous
denials of the various claims .made
by Peggy and refuted much o'f her
1 testimony.

Audubons to Hold Field
Day Program Saturday
"It is very gratifying to me," said
H. S. Mann, "to see that the Audu
bon society has made special ar
rangements including Forest Lawn
cemetery in the bird field day pro
gram Saturday morning. In my
opinion there is no bird sanctuary
in this region to compare with For
est Lawn. It is a'large tract having
many native trees and shrubs and it
is free from molestation by the
enemies of birddom. The -result is
that a number of rare species of
birds have made homes in the cem
etery, making it doubly attractiv to
Audubons. Street cars leave Twenty-fourth
street and Ames avenue at
6:15 and 6:30. Mrs. Neely, Mrs.
Boyd and Miss Ellsworth will con
duct the party."
