ENGLAND TO
CELEBRATE
SAILING OF
MAYFLOWER
i 1
Many Cities Planning Elab
orate Festivities in Com
memoration of Tercente
nary of Pilgrims' Sailing. '
By JOHN STEELE,
(hit-ago Tribune Foreign Newt Service.
London, May 16. Members and
officers of the Anglo-Arrterican so
ciety are ' preparing an ambitious
program of celebrations in, honor of
the tercentenary of the sailing of the
Mayflower, the American visitors to
England this year will be able to
witness a. number of historic cere
monies in'connection with the birth
. of the American nation.
So far the plans are incomplete
1 and no accurate time table has as
yet been drawn up. Nothing will
he decided until the arrival in Eng
land of John A. Stewart, president
of the American branch of the soci
ety. It is possible, however, now to
give a brief outline of the principal
items in the program.
Unveil Statue in London.
The first willbe the unveiling in
London of the' replica of the St.
Gaudens statue' of Lincoln, present
ed to Britain , by. the American
' branch of th society. Parliament
has vote a free 4ite in Parliament
square, and work is already -under
way on the erection of the plinth.
The site is in the Canning inclosure,
and the great statue will face he
houses of parliament on one side;
and Westminster abbey on another.
No definite date has been fixed for
, the unveiling, on account jof the dif
ficulty iji estimating the time re
duirecj for any job under present la
bor conditions in England.
" Work is already pvoccedingjon the
restoration of Sulfcravc Manflr, the
ancestral home of the Washington
family. ' Thi acquisition and care
of this Anglo-American shrine, is
the'special work of the Anglo-American
society. The restoration will
not be completed this year, but the
old house will be restored to decent
condition, a.nd doubtless will he vis
ited by thousands of Americans dur
ing .the coming summer. It is lo
casted in a little village, in Lincoln
shire, about 60 miles from London.
Plymouth Lays Plans.
Plymouth, from which the May
flower sailed, is planning a great
local celebration with a water pa
geant, and similar plans are under
consideration at ' Southampton. A
great joint - jeligipus celebration
probably will be one of the features
of the program at the laiter port, and
at Plymouth a specially written plav,
called "The Mayflower." will be
given at the ancient guild hall.
.There will also he local celebra
tions at Scrooby, in Nottinghamshire,
from which the Pilgrims made their
first start, and at Chorley, in Lan
cashire, the ancestral home of Miles
Standish. A number of Essex towns
and villages will also hold celebra
tions in commemoration of the fact
' that many of the Pilgrims were
Essex men. It has just been learned,

Three at least of the Pilgrims came
from the little village of Billericay,
in Essex, about 20 miles from Lon
don, which earned fame during the
war Dy becoming the scene Bt the
destruction of a raiding Zeppelin.
Eventually it is , hoped that the
movement will extend to all the
British universities.

There is m. Omaha a small, army
of men who are today holding the
same positions which they held 30
and even 40 years ago.
They have literally grown old in
the harness. In many cases their
hair has grown gray, in some cases
white, since first they accepted the
job which they now hold.
Yet these men are without ''ex
ception proud of the long years of
service which they have given to
the position which they have grown
to love. . -
They enumerate quaint incidents
which occurred daring their first
years "on the job" incidents which
occurred when the city was a ramb
ling village.
- Scorn Younger Generation.
They lopk somewhat scornfully
on the younger generation which has
grown up about4hem, and new busi
ness methods w,hicli are gradually
creeping in.
But they fill their positions, and
fill them well. '
For 37 years W. O.' Shane, 115
South Thirty-fifth Street, has been
an important cog in the machinery
of the Omaha National bank. Mr.
Shane's first and only job has been
at the Omaha National. Ha began
his banking career in 1883 as a mes
senger boy. Twenty years ago he
became paying teller. He still holds
that position.
During the 37 long years which
Mr. Shane has worked at the .Oma
ha National he has missed scarcely
a day from his duties. His services
to the bank are acknowledged to be
invaluable by officers of the bank,
not because of his large acquaint
ance, but because of his skill as a
handwriting expert. ,l-
Fairly Breathes Contentment
His fme as a chirographer nas
spread until government officers
often call on him for assistance.
But it is the job as teller in which
Mr. Shane takes delight.
"I'm only 57 years ol3, so I hope
to be on the job for a good many
vears vet," said" Mr. Shane. "I'm
well and I like my work, so what
more could I ask?"
" With 34 years' service at the First
National bank to his credit, H. G. J.
Lehman, . assistant cashier of that
bank, is probably the second oldest
bank employe in Omaha. Mr.' Leh
man was born in ISTew York City and
came to Omaha in 1874. Twelve
years after his arrival he joined the
First National staff as a remittance
clerk. With the exception of a short
Illness, Mr. Lehman has served at
the bank continuously. He is 59
,years old. . , ,
"Peppiest" at 64.
Louis Grebe,- better known as
"Louie," has been a bailiff in the
Douglas county court for 36 years
and is still the "peppiest" baliff of
them all in spite of his 64 years. ,
"Louie" was appointed by Sheriff
David Miller in 1884. At that time
the sheriff appointed bailiffs. And
he has held down the job ever since
and seems 1 good for another 36
years at least, which will make him
an even 100 years old.
"Eleazar Wakely and James Ne
ville were district judges when I was
appointed," he said. "I've seen many
judges come and go and many at
torneys, too. ' .
"Yes, I do look lots younger than
I am. Been lots of wagers lost ton
my age. I was taken for 45. not very
long ago. How do I do it? Regu
lar hours, plenty of sleep, good ex
ercise and plain food. That's the se
cret. I g to bed at 9 or 9:30 every
night and sleep till 6 the next rrtorn-

MONTE CARLO
IS CHURCH IF
GAMBLING IS
NOT WICKED
No Wild Scenes of Hilarity
Such as Characterized
American "Joints" Found
After Big "Killings."
By HENRY WALES.
Chicago Tribune Foreign Newi Hervlce.
Monte Carlo, May 15. If gam
bling ' is not wicked, then Monte
Carlo is a church. There are no
other vices in the principality -of
Monaco except hazarding bets on
chance. People don't drink to ex
cess, 'no crime's are committed and,
except for a very occasional suicide,
things go on as smoothly as the
waters of the Mediterranean.
Ordinarily, one would think the
people who have made big killings
at the Casino or Sporting' club.
wouW go out after play ceases and
set 'em up to everybody, organize
dancing parties, and keep the corks
popping until the dawn broke. There .
is nothing to stop it, as there ape
no closing hours at Monte, and the
cafes and restaurants can remain
open 24 hours a day if they choose.
, Owl Joints Close.
But they don't. The latest owl .
joint, the Trianon, closes at 3 o'clock
sharp. And for the last hodr that
it remains open only the professional
danseus dances with the profes
sional dancing man, and a few tired
persons finish their last bottle.
People are too tired, after play
ing all afternoon and all evening at
the Casino and the club, to go out
side, and raise Cain after the tables
are covered. Winners and losers
alike, they troop into the little bar
and get beers and hard-boiled eggs
and ham sandwiches from Arnold
and then toddle off to the hay.
' Went With Wife.
The other day a young English- '
man won close to 200,000 francs at'
roulette in the afternoon and eve
ning sessions. When play finished
he had packages of 1,000 franc notes
bulging out of every pocket."
But did he give a wild whoop and
yell, "Drinks for everybody lin the
house are on me!" Not a bit of it.
He stalled into the bar with bis
wife, who had 40,000 or 50,000 of lis
overflow winnings in her muff, and
ordered a bottle of stout and an egg.
Mrs. Winner took a sherry flip.
When one recalls the old gambling
clays of California, Nevada, Colo
raid and Arizona.'' .this ' seems a bit
tame. But it's true. t
Buy Our Liquor
'Likewise, it feels funny to have
to buy your own booze in a gam
bling house.
But that's only one of the differ
ences between wide open and under,
cover gambling.
In the creep joints in the states,
where you had to sneak, up an alley
and give a couple of passwords and
be slipped in through a barred and
gra'ed door, the house wanted to get
you tight as soon as possible. It was
figured that the tighter you were the
faster and more recklessly you
would throw away your pelf.
Here it's different. They know that
you will eventually spend all the
money you can afford, and maybe
a lpt more, without the aid of al-
conol.
