CHINESE ROMEO IN PURSUIT OF LOVE ARRIVES AT OMAHA Father's Guard Taking Her to k China to Be Married. ; The west-bound Overland limited which arrived in Omaha yesterday morning carried an impatient young passenger, the true lover of Wu Sao, little Chinese girl who is returning to Fekm to -marry a man she has never seen. , The vounar man naced the olat form at the. Union station restless ly, watch in hand. Panengers on the same train smiled sympathet ically as thev .watched him. for he had told his story to several ot them. r Fu Wine, for that is his name, spoke perfect English. He was dressed in a tweed suit and cap, and, as he explained his predica ment 10 a eponer, ne inierspersea his conversation with several good American "damns,? Met in New York. "I have loved - Wu Sao since met her in New York," he said. "She was different from other Chih ese girls, and was attending Welles- ley to become like you Americans. We were to Iiave been married when I graduated from Columbia uni versity. We had many wonderful plans. "We forgot that our parents had not learned to be different as we had. Her father, Wu Sao, has never ,left China. . He can't be blamed for expecting her to marry the man he chooses for her. It is the custom. He is a. very rich man and is used to having his own way. "But she shall not marry a man she doesn't love! This is America, not China. If I can reach San Fran cisco before she is forced to sail, something can be done!" The young Chinaman paused and smiled apologetically. . "I am talk ing too much about my own af fairs," he mused, "but it is all I can think about." , Girl Attempted Escape. Wu Sao, daughter of a rich Chinese merchant, passed through Omaha Wednesday bound for the coast. She was guarded by an old Chinaman, who had been sent to America by her father to bring her back. Her little maid, who was accompanying her, declared that she loved Wu, the young Columbia university student, morethan any one else in the world. During a stop, in Chicago Wu at tempted to escape, but was stopped by the old guard, according to the maid. " The maid succeeded in dis patchjng a.telegram to her mistress' lover during the stop in Chicago, however, she said, telling him of the terrible situation. "If I miss her in San Francisco, I will follow, her to China," the. young lover declared yesterday morning. "I will give my life rather than lose her. We would both rather be dead than separated."

Present Elementary, School Plant - Inadequate to Care for ' Increased Population Member of School Board Cites Figures to Show How Omaha ' Students Have Outgrown Buildings Urges Voters to Sanction Bond Issue Thbusands of Pupils Without Proper School Facilities. ; Francis A. Brogan, member of the Board of Education, gives out the following statement on the needs of the Omaha public schools: VIn September, 1919, there were 2,088 moire pupils enrolled in our public schools than there were at the same time in 1918. The follow ing representative schools have in creased in enrollment from 1914 to 1919, from 9 per cent to 160 per cent: ; (tm i.

The number J belonging is about 85 per cent of the enrollment. In other words, 35 pu pits belonging means an enrollment of about 41 The ratio of the number belonging to the enrollment capacity of 'each building: is represented by the per cent of enrollment capacity belong ing. Ihe enrollment capacity of a building is the number of pupils who can be accommodated at the rate of 35 per room, exclusive of manual training rooms, auditoriums and rooms in temporary annexes. These annexes are ''ugly in appearance and poorly ventilated,' and are, at best, only temporary makeshifts un til suitable buildings can be erected "The contested condition of 13 of the elementary schools is shown by the table below, ihe number in the first column indicates the normal ca pacity of the school, exclusive of an nexes. .

The same condition is true at the Lothrop school at the corner of Twenty-fourth and Lo throp streets. The Mason school, at Twenty-fourth and Mason, has been forced for years to use two annexes accommodating: tour classes, ana this year it was necessary to make use of an additional annex for two more overflow classes. There is still need of additional room at this building. There are 93 children in the kindergarten at this building. The problem of room for the puoilSxis serious in li tit mentary schools of Omaha and is becoming so in nine others. At tne present time 2,102 children in the lower classes are torcea to attenu half day sessions, and 1,247 children are attending school In rooms where the enrollment is so large that it is necessary to use two teachers in the same room at the same time, which is, of course, a very unsat isfactory arrangeinent. The elementary schools can be re lieved in two ways; first, by build ing several new elementary schools, and second, by adopting a junior high school system which will take 0:0, in Here Is a message to suffering women, from Mrs. Kathryn Edwards, of R.

Both methods should be ttsed in Omaha. Should Replace Some, " Several buildings have served their period of usefulness and should be replaced. Saratoga, -Walnut Hill and Farnam schools are excellent examples of this type, al though there are others which might be placed in this, class.. These schools should be replaced by buildings of sufficient size to give relief to overcrowded adjoining dis tricts which would not be suffi ciently relieved by junior high schools. Four-room additions are needed at Mason and Lake 'schools, in ad dition to relief which may be af forded by junior high schools. The frame buildings at Benson Central, Belvidere, SJierman, and Minne Lusa should be replaced by modern brick structures. This elementary building program would, perhaps, suffice for the next five or six years if a junior high school program were carried on at the same time, as provided by the building pro gram of the Board of Education. "A junior high school at Twenty second and Chicago streets will re lieve the congested districts of Ma son. Central and Kellom. A junior high school at Twenty-fourth and Corby streets will help to relieve Long, Lake, Lothrop and Druid Hill. A junior high school in the vicinity of Ames avenue will relieve Saratoga and Miller Park. If an addition is made to the South High school it can be made large enough to accommodate a junior high school for the South Omaha section east of the tracks and it is proposed to build a junior high school west of the stock yards to accommodate the pu pils from Highland, West Side, Co lumbian and South Franklin. . 'A careful survey of the high school population of Omaha shows that 30 per cent of the high school pupils live in the district north of Lake street and it is proposed- to erect a north high school to take care of the pupils in the north part of the city and relieve Central High school. "There is no'other way to get these new school buildings except through a bond issue. If the voters do not sanction this bond issue the building program for this city must stop at a time when the world needs better schools and better school products; that is, better citizens more than ever in its history. Three thousand elementary school children and 1,800 high school children will be without proper school facilities."
