LODGE DECLINES
TO COMMENT ON
HAPGOOD RETURN
Intimated Revelations Will Be
k Mad& of Minister's Activi
ties and Sympathies for
. Soviet Government.
Washington, Dec 22. Senator
Lodge, chairman of the foreign rela
, tiont committee, declined today to
tiiscusj a published report that Norv
man Hapgood, minister to Den-
v mark, decided to return to the United
States after the State "department
learned that the committee was pre
pared to make, public information
which wai expected to show activi
ties and sympathies for the Russian
soviet government.
The only comment from Senator
Lodge was that Hapgood's nomine
.-' tion died with the last session of
. congress and that no recess appoint
ment had been made. The commit
tee secured information several
months ago that provoked such de
, termined opposition to confirmation
of Mr. Hapgood that Secretary
Lansing was informed the appoint
ir.ent would not be approved. Mem
bers of the committee, It is said,
were prepared, if necessary, to pre
sent, this information to the senate
and possibly to the public.
' The information obtained from
Paris, New York, and other places is
' said reliably to be similar to reports
" published that Hapgood interested
, himself toward fostering commerce
between American export interests
and those of soviet Russia. The
committee also secured several ar
ticles written by Mr. Hapgood.

Chicago Grain Provisions.
Chicago, Dec. 22. Corn prlcea had a
downward Blant today ! chiefly aa a result
of Increased receipts and of prospects of a
larger crop movement soon. The market
closed steady, at the same as Saturday's
finish to c lower, with January fl.36
to fl.36, and May fl-38 to fl.33.
Oats gained to 1C In provisions the
outcome ranged from 50o decline to 60c
advance.
Weakness in the corn market waa more
noticeable at the outset than during the
latter trading. The reason for this dif
ference lay in the fact that a considerable
portion of today's- arrivals could not be
Inspected In time to become a burden on
values. Besides, talk of export demand
for wheat to go to France helped some
what to rally prices and ao likewise did
the fact that sterling exchange was firmer.
On the whole, however, bears had the ad
vantage owing a good deal to signs of
improved conditions on the railroads. It
was generally conceded that the speed of
the crop movement pow depends almost
entirely on the number of cars the rail
roads can furnish.
Oats were strengthened by reports that
other marketa had aold 200,000 buahela to
the seaboard.
Announcement of big exporta for the
week made provisions average higher.

OMAHA BURGLARY
INSURANCE RATE
JUMPS 20 PER CENT
Inefficient Police Protection and
Recent Crime Wave Named
Cause.
A 20 per cent increase in the rates
on burglary insurance for residence
properties in Omaha is to become
effective immediately, according to
a communication received yesterday
by local" insurance men' from the
National Burglary Insurance Under
writers' association of New York.
Because of inefficient police pro
tection and the great number of bur
glaries and holdups committed hcre,
and as a result of the wholesale op
erations of criminals in. this city, all
burglary insurance on residences,
apartments, dwelling houses ' and
homes of every character will be ad
vanced 20 per cent.
Poor Police Protection.
Burglary insurance on valuables
kept in cafes and vaults, and in
downtown business houses where
private uolicemen are employed to
guard the buildings, will not be ad
vanced for the present, according to
J. D. Foster, Omaha insurance man.
However, declared Mr. foster,
"we are looking for increases in the
rates of burglary insurance of every
character."
Local insurance men declare that
the advances are as high or even
higher than the rate paid in some of
the large eastern cities known as
crime centers.
Because of the demoralized con
dition of the police department here,
and its utter failure to cope with
the local crime wave which has en
veloped the city : for the past 10
months, thousands of home owners
and renters of dwellings will be
forced to pay out thousands of dol
lars more this year for the protec-,
tion of their valuables than they1
were called on to pay last year.
Omaha Rated High.
The burglary insurance under
writers' association keeps an accu
rate record of the burglaries com
mitted in all of the large cities of
the country and their insurance rates
are fixed with reference to number
and the efficiency of the police de
partments. Reports of all the bur
glaries committed in Omaha since
Commissioner Ringer assumed the
duties of his office have been made
to the insurance underwriters' office
in New York. They have been care
fully tabulated and compared in
number to the same offenses com
mitted in other cities.
Local insurance men declare I this
is considered one of the very worst
cities in the country from the stand
point of the burglary insurance companies.
And the saddest teature about the
situation is, asserted Mr. Foster
"that the conditions here are getting'
worse instead of better. It is hard
to tell what the next development
will be." 1

BABIES MIXED;
MOTHER FAINTS;
ALL ENDS WELL
Station Master in Role of
Dashing Hero at the
Burlington Depot. .
A comedy - drama with " two
6-motith-old babies in leading roles
and Joseph Mik, veteran station mas
ter, cast as the dashing hero was
enacted at the Burlington station
yesterday morning.
The affair started when a well
dressed woman, carrying what was
presumably her own child, swathed
in many blankets, dismounted from
a Kansas City train and entered the
station, slie placed the baby on a
bench and pulled the blankets away
from its face to administer a moth
erly kiss and promptly fainted.
Mation Master Mik rushed to the
rescue and revived the woman with
ice water.
'He's stolen my child!" were her
first words as she opened her eyes.
"The man who had the section
across the aisle from me has taken
my baby, she added, struggling to
her feet.
Almost Too Late.
"Catch him quick. He Must went
up those stairs."
Mik dashed uo the stairs and ar
rived at the street entrance just in
time to see a well-dresSed man, car
rying a bundle of blankets, presuma
bly containing his baby, step into a
waning taxi caD ana start away.
He made a final spurt and sue--
ceeded in attracting the cab driver's
attention. ,
"Return that child to itsNowner."
he commanded sternly, opening the
cab door and addressing the occupant.
What do vou mean?" demanded
the man.
Not for Mr. Mik.
"I mean that you can't tret awav
with that kidnaping stuff in Omaha,"
shouted Mik, shaking a wicked fist
in the man's face.
The man unwrapped the shawls.
looked at the baby he was carryinor.
and sank back in the seat with a
wail.
"My God," he muttered, "some
one's taken my baby." ,.
Like all successful comedy dramas
this one has a happy ending. The
babies were exchanged, apologies
offered and everybody was happy.
Eut Mr. Mik. who is not built for
foot racing, and who was still pant
ing as he told the story two hours
later, insists that the hero stuff is
not for him. .

'UNLOAD' DUTIES

Latter Becomes Angry When
Commissioner Turns Down
Offer of Department
Changes. ;
At the meeting in the city council
chamber yesterday Commissioner,
Towl offered Commissioner I Butler
a present, which the latter carefully
opened and thep threw it away. ' !
Mr. Towl offered Mr. .Butler, the
sidewalks, crosswalks and we
maintenance departments, . three
branches of the public improvement
department, which is in charge of
Mr. Towl. , i ' ' , M.x
"You are trying to1 unload " some
of your work onto me so that you
may devote more time to your pri
vate interests," Mr. Butler retorted.
"I will take all of your department
if you want to resign, Mr. Towl,
but I witl not take over part of your
work. If we are going in for con
solidation why not dispense with the
chief of police and let the superin-;
tendent of police run the police de
partment?" I i
Mr. Towl became so angry that he
said "damn," and he. teaches a Sun-;
day school class in the South Side,
too.
Mr. Towl further stated that there
was nothing in the city commission
plan of government law which af
fects the status of a city commis
sioner having outside private inter
ests. "" -
The city clerk called the commis
sioner's attention to the commission
government law which requires that
a commissioner must "be on the
job" from 8 a. m. to 5 p. m.( '
