RAISE IN FARES
IS APPROVED BY
CITYJFFICIALS
Mayor and Commissioners
Satisfied With Rail Com
mission's Decision On In
crease Here.
Mayor Smith and tfie city com
missioners who are in the city, ex
pressed themselves yesterday as sat
isfied with the state railway com
mission's decision to grant the street
railway company a 2-cent increase
in fares. The city commissioners
and the mayor held that the present
situation is an emergency and that
an increase in fares is the only way
hy which the street railway com
pany can pay the men increased
wages and avert a strike.
"I am willing to see the increased
schedule of fares go into effect pro
vided the company makes a satisfac
tory wage agreement with the men,
said Mayor Smith. "We will try this
out for the balance of the year and
see whether it will work satisfactory.
If it doesn't or if it can be shown
that the company can get along
with lower fares we can have them
readjusted."
Agrees With Mayor. ,
Corporation Counsel Lambert was
with the mayor and agreed in his
statements. Mr. Smith said he be
lieved the increased fares would
yield the company $500,000 increase
in revenue per year. Mr. Lambert
said he believed the Increase would
come nearer to $700,000.
City Commissioner Zimman said
his sentiments on the increased fare
are contingent on what amount ot
increase in wages the company
gives the men.
"If the company gives the men
an increase to 50 cents an hour, I
am opposed to granting the 7-cent
fare." he said.
"What do you say to it if the men
are given 55 cents an hour?" he was
asked.
"I won't say what I think then,
for the reason that I am one of the
negotiators between the men and
the company at the present time,"
he replied.
Attitude of Butler.
"If the state railway commission
ers think the incrase in fare is the
best way out of the present diffi
culty I am willing to take their
judgment," said Commissioner But
ler. The city council has no power
to do anything to stop the proposed
increase in fare, however. The mere
fact that the street railway com
pany has not made enough money
the last year or two to pay divi
dends cuts no figure with me. The
fact that the company has refused
to pay occupation tax is also an item
jgainst granting it any concessions.
And it has also neglected to put on
its sprinkler cars as provided in the
ordinance."
Commissioner Butler stated that
he will bring up the question of the
skip-stop before the state railway
commissioners and attempt to have
it abolished.
"This is an emergency," said Com
missioner Falconer, "and if the raise
in fare is the only means of giving
the men an increase in wages, I am
for it as a temporary measure. But
I want to see the books of the com
pany examined as soon as possible
to determine what its financial con
dition is. We can have this increased
fare abolished again if it is found
that the company can pay higher
wages without it."
Arch itects Advocate
New Zone System for
Height of Buildings
Resolutions recommending a sys
tem of zones in regulating the
height of Omaha buildings were
adopted last night at a meeting of
the Nebraska chapter of the Amer
ican Institute of Architects, com
posed of the 25 leading designers in
the state.
Although the zone system of regu
lation was favored, it is understood
that a different plan than that be
ing considered by the city council
was drawn up. The resolutions will
be presented at the meeting of the
city council this norning.
Thomas R. Kimball addressed the
meeting on the architecture for the
proposed new state capitol build
ing. Rules to regulate the compe
tition among the members of the
chapter were adopted.

In "The Great Gamble," as the
fire leaped up about them, Morton

the whole party returned to town,
where Blake and Cooley, previously
captured by the sheriff, were pris

Cooley to escape. Aline was lured
to a room by Blake and given 10
minutes to write a note to her
father, demanding money. She wrote
the note and Nell started out to de
liver it to Morton. Blake took Aline
to the house in the suburbs and she
managed to get word to Darrell as
to her whereabouts. Darrel entered
the house by swinging in at an upper
window on a telephone wire. Blake,
taking Aline with him, was then on
the way to a remote camp in the
Adirondacks. Darrell followed the

to him in the place of Aline. So

Truck Driver Saves
Seven-Year-Old Girl
From Attack of Negro
Hazel Hick, 7 years old, daughter
of E. O. Hick, 4317 Dodge street,
was rescued from the hands of a
negro assailant yesterday afternoon
by a young man driving an auto
truck. The girl, through the efforts
of the truck driver, whose name is
unknown to the police, was deliv
ered safely to her home after the
negro had attempted to assault her
at Forty-fifth and Dodge streets.
The girl went to a grocery store
at Forty-ninth and Dodge streets
shortly after noon. As she left her
home she noticed the negro rise
from the curbing nearby and folfow
her. When she entered the store he
watched her through the window.
He followed her again when she
left for home and just as they
passed under the bridge over Dodge
street at Forty-fifth he called to her,
"Come here to me, little girl," and
seized her. The girl tried to fight
him off.
The truck driver leaped from his
car and struck the negro in the face
with his fist. The negro fled along
the- railroad tracks north. The girl
was said to be unharmed.

who was governor of Kansas during

"Among the various organizations

praise for the service rendered than
is the woman's committee of the

WILD SCENES
CONTINUE ON
GRAIN MARKET
Corn Prices Jumped 10 Cents
Wednesday; Wisdom of Gov
ernment on Wheat Prices
Not Questioned.
Chicago, Aug. 6. Scenes of wild
excitement prevailed again Wednes
day at the Board of Trade where corn
prices jumped up 10 cents a bushel,
after having suffered an equal drop
Tuesday. Rushes to sell Tuesday
were almost surpassed in the wild
scramble to purchase today.
Fven in the hectic days of the
war 10-cent fluctuations in grain in
a single day were rare.
All transactions here turned on
the news from Washington that the
government contrary to the outlook
Tuesday, would not adopt sacrifice
selling of wheat as a means of at
tacking the prevalent high cost of
living. This decision, although un
expected on the Board of Trade and
notwithstanding the rebound in corn
prices which resulted, did not elicit
much unfavorable comment. At
most, the cut in flour prices which
would have been the consequence of
the government sacrifice of wheat
was popularly estimated at $2.00 a
barrel. The actual cut of $1.00 a
barrel that was announced Simul
taneously with the decision to main
tain the guaranteed price on wheat
appeared to be virtually ignored as
a market factor.
According to one authority, the
comparative indifference with which
the $1 a barrel cut in flour prices
was received here grew out of the
fact that the average per capita con
sumption of flour is but one barrel
a year, and meant next to nothing
in the cost of bread per loaf. With
this aspect of conditions in mind,
little disposition was evinced on
'change to question the wisdom at
present of the maintenance of the
existing wheat policy of the government.
Longress Will Turn

for Increased Wages
Washington, Aug. 6. The senate

today, by unanimous vote, directed
Chairman Cummins to reply to

letter will not be made public until
tomorrow, but it is understood to
advise the president that he has full
authority without further legislation.
Allied Governments to
Buy Pork Through U. S.
Paris, Aug. 6. The allied govern
ments, as represented at the con
ference in London, have agreed to
undertake the joint purchase of
pork products through a common

'It is expected the arrangement will
go into effect August 8.
Germany, through the reparations
commission, probably will be re
quired to buy its pork products
through the same agency in order
to avoid competition.

Careless Shampooing
Spoils the Hair
Soap should be used very care
fully, if you want to keep your hair
looking its best. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too
much alkali. This dries the scalp,
makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo
(which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than anything else you
can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub it in. It makes
an abundance of rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle of dust, dirt, dan
druff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it
leaves the scalp soft, and the hair
fine and silky, bright, lustrous,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo at any pharmacy, it's
very cheap, and a few ounces will
supply every member of the family
for months. Adv.
