Berlin, May 30. By Mail.) It is customary to regard Columbus as a great man. He discovered America. 1 have gone one better I have dis covered vacant apartments in Ber lin. Flats, houses and apartments are so scarce that the authorities are in stituting compulsory billeting. No one is rt be allowed more than two rooms for himself, and people with large flats are1 to be forced to accept paying guests. I advertised. The first time I re ceived two replies, both from agents. I visited them. "Deposit 25 marks," they said, "and we will give you a list of apartments suitable to your requirements." I asked what, they had on their lists before paying the required sum. "Nothing for the mo ment," was the reply, "but we may have something soon." I thanked them and retired. English Are Barred. Then I scoured Berlin on foot, by taxicab, by underground, by the city railway. I, visited quarters of the city where 'surely no foreigner has ever been before. i I answered advertisements. I waited for the midday newspapers and drove to the few places where rooms were said to be vacant (I had abandoned my ambitious scheme of securing' a " flat, and "made up my mirid to take furnished rooms). It was always the same: "Sorry, they . are let already." .- ' One day success nearly crowned my efforts. I saw two .delightful rooms, furnished in the English style and in a good neighborhood. The owner, a bachelor doctor, felt sure we should suit each other,. and I agreed to move in on the follow ing day. He rang me up the same evening. "I regret," he said, "but my housekeeper declines to attend to an Englishman. She has been with me a long time so, I am afraid . . .". I told him politely to keep his rooms.' Starts Search Early. A second set of rooms which were suitable were refused for the same reason; a third suddenly doubled in value when it was found that the would-be tenant was English. Even hatred has its price. ' f - Then one night I camped out, in order to be early in the field. At 7:30 in the morning I had read the advertisements: at S o'clock I had telephoned to Charlottenburg; at 9 o'clock I was; seated in the study of a retired lieutenant colonel, a Frei herr of the old school, tall, bearded and courtly. .1 opened the ball by remarking that I wanted his rooms, and that I was English. "That doesn't matter," he said; "against individuals I have ho ill feeling. Come and look at the rooms." '. i "How much are they?" I asked. He told me. I pulled out my note case and pushed over a month's rent "Here," I said, "it's a bargain. Shake hands on it." We shook hands. And then I looked at the rooms. Forgot His Treasure Spot; ; Digs Up Entire Yard Hoquiam, Wash., May 30. Work ing far into the night by a lantern, digging up his back yard. Mike Paulovich aroused interest here as an exemplar of the home gardener. But the secret has leaked out. Mike " is not trying to defeat the food .trust by home gardening. He is seeking treasure. Several months ago, with no faith in banks he buried his sav ings in his back yard. A few days ago he sought to exhume his hoard prior to returning to the old country but forgot exactly where he planted the money. So now he is ploughing up the whole yard. He resents the aid of neighbors. ' ' Slayer Who Refused Escape In 1893 Freed ' Ossining, N. Y., ' May 30. Sing Sin attendants learned that Ed ward Geoghegan, who .spurned free dom when facing execution in the death house 27 years ago, has been oardoned from Clinton orison. On, April 20, 1893, Thomas Pallis ter and Frank Roehl, overpowered two guards, as the time for their execution drew near, and with keys taken front tthem opened Geoghe- - gan s cell and told hfm ' to come along.

Law abiding citizens who would like to see Chi cago made reasonably safe for a man at any time of the day or night believe the atmosphere will be con siderably clearer after June, for 12 alleged murderers are to be disposed of, four of whom will hang on June 18 and the others soon afterward, providing, always, their lawyers are unable to find a loophole for their escape. Those who will go away from here June 18 are Edward Bris lane, Frank Campione, Thomas Errico and Nicholas Viana. The last three were convicted of murdering Thomas O'Donnell, a watchman at a plant they were rob bing. . These three are part of the gang headed by Guy Wadsworth, former policeman, who posed as a farmer. On his "farm" the police dug up great quantities of nitroglyc erine, burglar tools, many weapons and loot wor.th many thousands of dollars. , Brislane, who steps off the same day, was a paroled convict and he slew M. R. Mills, proprietor of a motion picture house whom he was robbing and who did not get up his hands quickly enough. Many other alleged murderers in the county jail awaiting trial are becoming decided ly uneasy over the radically changed attitude of the courts, which is re sulting in numerous convictions and frequent hangings. ' Death Chair to Be Altered for Cripple Ossining. N. Y., May 30. John Egan's wooden leg will not prevent his electrocution in the death house on June 14. Warden Lawes, after a conference with State Electrician John Hulbert, who has charge of the electrocutions, says it'i will be pos sible to attach the electrode to the left side of the chair, instead of the right, as it always has been; : Egan, who is 21 years old, is the first cripple ever sentenced to death in Sing Sing prison and his case has attracted so much attention that it would not be surprised if Governor Smith commuted his sentence. $125,000 Is Needed to Build Homes In Palestine ' London, May 30. "We will have to raise the sum of $123,000,000 for expenses in the settlement of Pal estine." -v That is the estimate of what it will cost to carry out the Balfour declaration making Palestine a per manent home for the Jews, ar fig ured by Dr. Charles Weizmann, Zionest leader anddelegate to the Allied Supreme Council Conference at Spa. i New "Typo-Telegrapher" Is Operated Over Long Wire Cinvinnati, O., May 30.

Probaoly he biggest surprise of the day took place at Miller park, where the Riggs Optical Co. tail enders of the City league, clashed in a double-header with the Ne braska Power Co., who were in fourth place before the battles start ed. The Optical lads copped both frays, winning the opener,. 4 to 3, in 10 rounds and the second, 8 to 2. Riggs In Third Place. With this double victory, the Riggs went into third place, and the Power lads were shoved into the cellar position, Rokusek was on the mound for the Riggs in the opener, and allowed but five hits and struck out 17 batter's, while, Manager James Baumgardner twirled the second game for ths Riggs, allowing' four hits and sent 10 via the strike-out route. With the score 4 to 3, in the first of the eleventh inning, the Stroud & Co., formerly the Union Outfitting company, nosed a S to 4 victory over the Paxton-Vierling team, scor ing, two tallies after one was out. Gordon started the fireworks, with a clean hit to center, followed by a single to Hill, formerly manager of the Fort Omaha team. Shook sac rificed, advancing both runners. Potter, playing his first game 'with the Stroud team, laid a pretty bunt down the third base line on which Gordon tallied, .tying the score. Hill scored, the winning run a mo ment later, , when Feltman dropped a throw, trying to catch Potter off first. Shook hurled a nifty game for the Stroud team. Too Much for Elmer. Sel Smith's pitching, Holland's hitting, the catching of Delehanty and the heavy-hitting of the Drive-It-Yourself company players proved too much for Elmer Nufer of the Bowen Furniture company team, and the Drivers won by the score of 1G to 5, their fourth consecutive game of the season. The Drivers secured 13 hits off Nufer, while Smith allowed but five, and struck out 17 batters. Out of five times up Holland drove out a homer, a triple and a single. ' Catcher Frank Delehanty played his farewell game with the Drivers, as he leaves tonight for Wessington Springs, S. D. . With Lyle Barton pitching gilt edge ball and given brilliant; sup port by his team-mates, the' Bed deos won, a fast and exciting 12 inning game from the Paulson's Fords at Thirty-second and Dewey avenue, by the score of 3 to 2, there by breaking the tie for first honors in the American league. The game was a pitchers', battle between Bar ton and Cruso of the Fords, and was nobody's game until the last man was out. Barton allowed but four hits and whiffed eight, making his record in the four games that he has pitched, up to 57 men, while Cruso was touched for six hits and struck out seven. -. Won in Twelfth. The Beddeos scored two runs in the second inning, but the Fords evened up the score in the sixth and from then on neither team was able to send a man across the plate, but in the fatal twelfth, Peterson singled, stole second, advanced to third on a balk and scored on Mc Auliff's two-base hit. Jerald Fratt, hurling forthe Co lumbian Optical Co., the fielding and hitting of Winters and the catching of Bauers, enabled the Optical crew to capture a 9 to 7 victory over the Easy Furniture Co. Fratt allowed five hits and struck out nine men.

While the HardingCreamery Co. won from the Big "H" Hardware Co., 6 to 3, due to great pitching of Art Klauschie, who allowed but two hits and fanned 11, the remark able hitting of Novak, getting 3 hits out of four trips to the plate and playing an errorless game, - the Townsend Gun Co., who were tied with the Creamery lads for first place in the Booster league, went down in defeat for the first time this season, at the hands of the Sprague Street Merchants, tail-enders, by a 6 to 1 score.

Fudge and Cream Puffs Not Proper Diet for College Athletes Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire. Chicago, May 30. "You cannot be a 'lounge lizard' and a success ful athlete. You cannot train on ice cream and , fudge and keep late hours and think too much about girls and expect to compete success fully with teams from other univer sities. Elmer McDevitt, newly appointed Northwestern university football coach, addressing a 'mass meeting of student athletes, laid down some new and rigid rules for men who expect to make the varsity teams. "Don't let the co-eds bother you," ho continued. "I'll admit we have some wonderfully pretty girls, but if we are to have winning teams you must leave them alone, at least during the training season. North western's social whirl is to blame for the deficiency of many a good athlete." The each and other speakers made it plain that the university athletes must cut out the social stuff and buckle down to business. A football player who encounters the rough necks from other schools on the field of battle must have something under his belt other thata cream puffs and marshmallow fudge and his thoughts must be on the ball and goal posts instead of on some pretty girl.

Definite steps will be taken to night for the co-operation of Coun cil Bluffs and Omaha to bring about the construction of a free highway bridge between the two cities. Mayor Zurmuehlen will ask the city council at the meeting tonight to approve a resolution authoriz ing him to appoint a committee of seven to meet in Omaha with a similar committee to be appointed by Mayor Smith. The action will be taken at the special request of -Mayor Smith, who announces that the 14 men wi!.' be his guests at a banquet to be served in Omaha some evening this week, when the plans that have been maturing will be presented and dis cussed. Mayor Zurmuehlen will name men whom he believes capable of meet ing any Seven men Mayor Smith may select and helping mature prac tical plans. These plans may not be divulged for some time, for it is distinctly understood that the joint committee of '14 will be the personal guests of the Omaha mayor at an "exclusive" banquet, to which newspapermen may not be invited. Nevertheless some strong intima tions have been given that the practical plans54- to be discussed at the banquet will include a proposit ion to enlarge the present street railway bridge by strengthening and extending the piers on both sides of the jpresent structure and build ing a. 30 foot driveway on each side of the present one, using the latter for double track street-car service only. This would make the bridge about 80. feet wide with a foot passage way on each side. .It is asserted that this can be done at a very much less cost than the construction of an entirely new bridge and would be a distinct advantage to the street railway by reconstructing its bridge into a modern structure of sufficient dimensions to meet traffic demands for a century. It is pointed out that the proposed bridge, 80 feet wide, would correspond to the Brooklyn bridge, whiih carries more than a million people daily. Took' Out License 45. , Years Ago Just Married Pittsfield, Mass., May 30. Jules L. Boutellier and Augustine Dulvat highly respected residents of Great Barrington, who took out a mar riage license in Pittsfield, October IS, 1875, were married for the first time at St. James Church rectory in Great Barrington by Rev. Robert Blackman, Jr. He is seventy-five and she is. seventy-seven. Born in France, they supposed that secur ing a license was equivalent to marriage, and they had lived as husband and wife. Mrs. Boutellier, had caref.illy pre served the license which waa issued by the late Theodore L. Allen, then town clerk. The marriage return came today to City Clerk 'Michael F. Quinn. Witnesses of the cer emony were Judge Walter B. San ford and Registrar of Deeds Mal colm Douglas. i Refuses to Believe Lodge Can Chatter With Spirits Eugene, Ore., May 30. Claims by Sjr Oliver Lodge, eminent British scientist-mystic, that he has been able to 'communicate with departed spirits through mediums, are scouted as unwarranted by Dr. R. H. Wheel er, professor of psychology at the University of Oregon, in fieply to a letter received from Dr.. Joseph Jastrow of the University of Wis consin, who is asking the opinion of American men of science on the subject Dr. Wheeler contends that the British scientist's claims are based on insufficient evidence and that everything to which he attaches a supernatural explanation can be explained by perfectly simple and rational means. Old-Time Actors Received Only $35 for a Week's Work London, . May 30. Miss Kite Terry, sister of Ellen Terry, and the first of the famous theatrical fam ily to appear on the stage, makes much of a comparison between sal aries paid to "stars" in her early days and the present figure. "I appeared in Manchester about fifty years ago. In my company were Charles Wyndham and Nellie Farren.

New York, May 30. In stocks last i week a resumption of buying among the railroad issues, together with a substantial improvement of rail roads, betoken a transfer of spec ulative interest from portions of the industrial list whose future remains involved with commercial liquida tion. . . Gains of many industrial stocks gave the impression that manufac turing profits were not going by the board in the readjustment of com modity prices to the credit situation and the new psychology of the con suming public. It . was in railroad stocks, how ever, that the more obvious signs of effort toward recovery were dis cerned, and for this development at Washington had the credit. Figures on railway valuation presented be fore the Interstate Commerce com mission showed that an average number of companies were carry ing their property account at totals not only at a great deal less than current replacement costs would be, but frequently lower than the gov ernment's own investigators had calculated values as of 1914. Important Situation. The Importance of this situation would be difficult to overestimate. If the rail roads of the country are found to be worth more nearly $25,000,000,000 -than $20,000,000,000, as old estimates provide, a satisfactory Income basis under pro visions of the transportation act may easily be imagined. So substantial a recovery asXlberty bonds experienced during the Week in dicated both a lessening of selling pres sure and an improvement of Investment demand. The first 4s advanced $3.(0, the second 4s, $3.24; the third 4)4, $3.00; the fourth 414s. $3.22, and the second 414s. $1.38. For one thing the urgent selling of the preceding week by corporations In need of funds declined decidedly. The decision by the New York federal reserve bank to Increase discount rates on Saturday was primarily a response to going rates of credit on the open market. The marking up of the commercial bill rate from 6 to 7 per cent might be con sidered so abrupt and drastic a movement as to reflect untoward events In the credit field, but with, the open market rate on the same paper 7 to 7 per cent, the change was entirely logfcal. The new rates presage higher costs forVmercantlle and in dustrial borrowing and It Is an Important addition to the rowirea being employed to conserve the us-ft credit. Transportation ' Still Hampered. Railroad transportation still leaves much to be accomplished. The allocation of freight cars to particular localities and arbitrary routing of traftlo under orders of the Interstate Commerce commission last week began to have results In break ing congestion In the grain centers and steel trade reports showed some relief in several leading producing areas. . So extensive an Improvement as that of last week In the European exchanges indicates more than mere speculation. The rise of sterling amounting to more than 8 cents to the pound to $3.12 U for sight drafts was attributable In part to the receipt of $22,000,000 gold at San Francisco for account of the British gov renment. Ta outstanding feature of dealings- was the progress made by Ger man, Austrian. Roumanian, Polish and other rates. The mark at S.05 cents each, some trading was reported at higher rates, stood moie than 200 per cent above Its quotation in February. PROGRESS OF THE CROPS. Weekly Crop Bulletin of the Agricultural Bureau of the Oman Chamber of Commerce. The overshadowing feature of the agri cultural situation the past week has been the persistence of .the cold, wave which appeared over the Puget sound country on May 22d, and slowly but persistently progressed eastward till the whole farm ing country got a touch of December In May. Heavy frosts were- reported on May 23d over the- greater part of Washington, Oregon and Montana. The following day points In North Dakota and the Black Hills country felt the icy touch. After that the cold wave, was merely a reminder to put in next winter's coal. The lowest tem perature reported In Nebraska was 8$ de btees at Culbertson on May 27. The warm wave at the close of last week and which continued through Thurs day of this week brought greatly Improved farming conditions to - the country east of the Mississippi river. Corn planting made rapid progress and Indiana and Ohio report about one-half the crop plant ed by Hmr 25. Illinois and Missouri are, however, still very badly off, with the bottom lands too wet for farming opera tions. Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas made rapid progress in planting. The work is now practically completed south of the Platte river and although germination has been slow, early planted fields show a fair stand of plants, and there is no serious complaint of cutworm damage though the cool cloudy weather is favorable for these Insects. There Is a good deal of enthusiasm un derlying the reports of winter wheat con dition. Even from the eastern part of the wheat belt where the crop suffered from winter-killing and was In a sickly, back ward condition all spring, the note Is "substantial improvement." In western Nebraska, which may for convenience be called the westerns-part of the winter wheat belt, our correspondents all agree that the crop la In "fine condition." The far western Nebraska counties report an increase of com acreage, land that should have been planted to winter wheat but for the extremely dry soil last fall, being held for corn. This feed grain Is gaining In importance from the large cattle and sheep feeding operations developing In that section. Beets are coming up to a good stand In the Scotts Bluffs district, though planting; la not quite completed. .The week has been very favorable in tM spring wheat belt. Rains proceeded the cool wave and were fairly heavy In North Dakota and Minnesota where mois ture was beneficial. All smalt grains at this stage of growth are benefitted bythe cool, moist weather condition so condu sive to thickening up the stand by stool- lnThe cotton states have enjoyed an ex cellent week for tillage.
