THE BEE: 'OMAHA; SATURDAY, APRIL 3, 1920.
IS
GILLIN SLATED
TO GET LOOMIS
JOB, IS REPORT
Bryan Henchmen Now In Of
fice Rumored Slated for
Dismissal by Hitchcock
Supporters.
Open warfare between the Hitch
eocte and Bryan forces was reported
yesterday in political circles when
the word was passed around that
George L. Loomis, collector of in
ternal revenue, was to get the politi
cal ax.
Mr. Loomis, who is charged up
to the Bryan patronage, was ap
pointed revenue collector here near
ly four years ago, and his present
term expires May 1. John J. Gillin,
deputy revenue inspector, is slated
to be Loomis' successor, it is re
ported. Before Bryan made his speech in
the Auditorium flaying Hitchcock,
it was understood that Loomis
would be reappointed, but since his
advent here and his open stand
against the presidential candidate,
the Hitchcock forces have vowed
vengeance, it is said.
Mr. Loomis could not be reached
at the federal building, where it was
stated that he was at his home in
Fremont.
An entire "cleaning out" of all
the Bryan henchmen who are now
holding positions and still hover
around the Commoner's standard, is
reported due to occur soon.
BRYAN'S DAUGHTER
COMES TO OMAHA
FROM 'WAR AREAS
Nebraska Girl Tells of Great
Affection She Conceived
For British Tommies.
Smiling, handsome Ruth Owen,
daughter of William Jennings Bryan,
arrived in , Omaha yesterday after
an absence of 10 years.
She is the wife of Maj. Reginald
Owen of the British royal engineers,
and served as a British army nurse
during the war.
Mrs. Owen took her youngest
son, Reginald Bryan, then only 2'i
years old, with her to Egypt while
she was stationed there. The other
two children, who are now with their
father and grandmother in Florida,
were then in school in England.
Gain Affection for Troops.
"The extraordinary affection you
get for the troops you deal with is
one of the unlooked for effects of
the work in army hospitals," Mrs.
Owen said yesterday.
"I can never forget my devotion
to the British Tommy.
Mrs. Owen began her war work
in the American relief agencies in
London, then took Red Cross nurse
traming under the volunteer aid de
tachment, the famous "V. A.J D." of
the British army.
Wears Pleasing Smile.
Mrs. Owen is tall, has gray eyes,
brown hair and a pleasing smile.
This morning she was dressed in
brown and wore a long fur coat.
Her husband. Maior Owen, is in
Florida, convalescing from a seri
ous illness during the war. He was
assistant director of armv signals
in Palestine, Egypt and Salonika.
Maior Owen was commanding Aus
tralian forces at the tragic landing
of the colonial troops on Gallipoli
in 1914. .
Highjackers Use Pick
In Fruitless Raid On
Cellar of Omaha Home
Liquor thieves evidently in search
of an underground cache spaded up
the basement floor in the home of
Elizabeth Stearns, 2519 Jones street,
Thursday night. Telephone wires
were cut and a lock on the door
"jimmied." Nothing is missing from,
the place, Miss Stearns reported.
The "highjackers" made no ef
fort to enter other parts of the
house Detectives believe they en
tered the wrong house.
A pick-axe was used to break
through the concrete floor.
Telegraph Operator,
i Arrested at Key, Is
Not Least Perturbed
Sitting calmly at his telegraph
instrument sending messages over
the wire of the Western Union
Telegraph Co. Frank Metko, 16
years old, 1946 South Twelfth street,
felt a heavy hand on his shoulder
at 9:30 a. m. yesterday.
He glanced up nervously and saw
Detectives Leahy and Ford.
"You're under arrest," he was told.
Young Metko laughed, the detec
tives say, and replied:
"Well, I can't , get less than 10
years, anyway."
He was taken to Central police
station where police are holding him
for authorities of East St. Louis.
His arrest in Omaha was made un
der telegraphic instructions.
