Mrs'. Clara Bullis, 2019 t. Mary's
avenue, who suffered a fractured
' skull and coneussion of the brain
i in a motorcycle accident at Twenty-
it fourth and E streets, Thursday aft-
fernoon, got up from bed, dressed
' and left the Souh Side hospital
Jl where he was being attended "hurs-
: day night.
"He got tired of waiting, I guess,"
Mrs. Bullis said yesterday. "The
' city physician was attending him,
, but didn't seem to pay any particu
lar attention to the case. He was
unconscious most of the time at the
'; hospital and his paiu intense. We
, called a doctor as soon as he got
home.'
"t Bullis left the hospital shortly be
fore 10 o'clock, arriving home at 11
oclock. He is now in bed suffering
severely from his exposure of the
night before.
At the time of the accident he

his motorcycle slipped on a street
car rail, throwing him to the pave
ment. Nursos at the hospital denied
! that Bullis had not received proper
' attention. "He was sleeping most
of the time he was here," the chief
nurse said. City physician, Dr. A. J.
, Young, attendecMiim, dressed his in
juries and so far as we know he was
retting easily. We did not know
he had left until late in the eve-

Hays Finds Interest
in Doings of Congress
f Washington, June .20. Chairman
Hays of the republican , national
5 committee returning today to Wash
ington for a month's stay after a
tour '.of the middle west, declared
t"the interest in the west is in na
tional 'questions with the high point
. of appreciation heing centered in
whatVcongress" it doing with effi
ciency and economy."
W. R. Adair, preside-, of the
Omaha Loan and Building associa
tion, has just returned from Wash-
ington where he met the subcom
mittee of which he is a member, ap
pointed in April by the president of
the United States league, Jlo make
a redraft of the federal home loan
bank bill. The 6riginal draft was
made some time ago at the sugges
tion, .of the Department of Labor.
SpeaRmg of the matter Mr. Adair
said:
"Our committee found on arrival
in Washington that the original -bill
that was disapproved by the leg
islative committee, had been intro
duced in the senate June 6 by Sen
ator Calder of New York. It is
undefttood the senator introduced
;he bill by request of'a commission
of the New York legislature who
visited Washington to find some
rrjeasure to relieve the serious hous
ing situation in New York City and
state. ,
Recognize Great Possibilities.
"After lookiiwr over many pro
posed measures, the New York com
mission decided that there were
greater possibilities in the federal
home loan bank act, than in any
other measure proposed. Our com
mittee spent three days on the re
draft of our bill which will be ready
for distribution to the building and
loan association of the pountry in a
short time. , .
"Owing to the misunderstanding
by the itroduction of the original
draft, the subcommittees issued the
following statemen't which is of in
terest to all building and loan as
soiations. " 'It seems necessary that a state
ment should be made as to the po
sition taken by the official represen
tatives of local building and loan
associations in the United States
relative to the widely published pro
posals for the formation of a system
of federal building-loan banks.
" 'At a conference in Washington
in January, gathered at the request
of the secretary of labor and par
ticipated in by the president of the
United. States League of Local
Building associations and the presi
dents of various state leagues, it Was
agreed that a bill should be drafted
fgt the organization of a system of
regional federal building-loati banks
composed of local co-operative
building-loan associations for the
purpose of supplementing through
.suan.ee of tax-free bonds the funds
of such associations available for
home building loans."
Draft of Bill Insert
"'A tentative-draft of such a bill
was subsequently issued by the de
partment of labor and submitted to
another conference at Washington
called by the president of the Unit
ed States league. At this confer
enc the tentative draft of the bill
was approved as to its general pur
pose, but strongly objected to as
to the proposed form and extent of
federal administration and supervi
sion. It was resolved with the con
currence of officials of the depart
ment of labor, that the proposed bill
should be redrafted as to the fea
tures objectionable to building-loan
associations, and the undersigned
committee was designated by the
president of the United States
league for this purpose. This com.
mittee has completed a redraft of
the bill, which will be known a the
federal building-loan bank act and
the same is to be introduced in con
gress. Provision is to be made by
the committee for furnishing copies
of the proposed act for the informa
tion of the officers of the building
associations of the country.
"'In the meantime, this commit
tee wishes it understood that the
bill introduced in the senate of the
United States as S 1469 known as
the Federal Home Loan act is not
approved by the committee but is
the measure for reasons indicated
above the-building association rep
resentatives were unable to approve.
We are also at liberty to say that
the bill referred to was not intro
duced at "the request of the depart
ment of labor. V

Honeymoon Trip to Orient Is
Delayed ,by the Government
Dr. K. D. Shastri and His Bride, Formerly Miss' Minnie
Jensen of Omaha, May Have to "Postpone Pro
posed Voyage to Land of "Paradise."
Because of a -delay in securing
a passport for Miss Mable Kahn,
Dr. and Mrs. K. D. Shastri, married
on June 4, may be forced io post
pone their honeymoon in the orient.
When Dr. Shastri, Hindu dream
er,' and Miss Minnie Jensen, Oma
ha girl, were married they offered
to take Miss Jensen's adopted sister,
Mable Kahn, with them on their
honeymoon.
Pevious to this arrangement how
ever, Dr. Shrastri had made reserva
tions on the Japanese steamship,
Sheimya Naru, which sails to the
Orient on June 30. He had also si
cured passports for himself and his
bride.
When it was decided that Miss
KaJin was to accompany them, steps
were immediately taken to secure
a passport for her. Word was re
ceived Thursday that the passport
had been denied because officials did
not consider it essential that Miss
Kahn made the trip.
Isaac Kahn has wired several
Washington officials asking that
they reconsider their decision. "I
consider it absolutely essential to
my daughter's happiness that she
make the trip, now that she has
planned on it," said Mr. Kahn.
Dr. Shastri said yesterday that
they certainly wouldn't leave with
out Miss Kahn.
"It would be such a disappoint
ment to her," he said. "However, I
trust that a passport may be secured
in time to sail 'on the Japanese
steamer, as it takes a course through,
the South Sea Isles, which is a
paradise a loveland. Besides, v
have secured excellent accomnioU
tions. "We are very anxious to !eai
too, as I have told my wife much
or the beauties of the east, and I
desire to prove to her that 1 havo
not exaggerated." '
