;HE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, JULY 17. 1920,
MILWAUKEE IS
READY TO BECOME
BIG OCEAN PORT
Wisconsin City Prepared to
Care for Traffic Made Pos
sible by Opening of
Lakes Waterways.
Milwaukee. Wis, July 16. Open
ing of the Great Lakes waterways
to ocean navigation will find Mil
waukee prepared to become an
oreaii port, according to Phil. A.
Grau, business manager of the Mil
waukee Association o Commerce.
"No change in the improvement
program for the Milwaukee harbor
will be necessary to prepare for
ocean tonnage," Mr. Grau said,
""or nine years, or Mtice the organ
ization of the Milwaukee harbor
commission, the harbor improve
ment schedule has been such as
meets all requirements for every va
riety ot ocean tonnage. Such a pro
gram was adopted, firstly, for the
reason that lake tonnage alone in
the Milwaukee harbor was coming
. to require all the lacilit ies common
ly demanded for the handling of
ocean tonnage, and secondly, be
cause Milwaukee commerce and in
dustry long has seen the opening of
the Great Lakes waterways to ocean
navigation is one of the inevitable
developments of the future, how
ever distant.
Has Splendid Harbor.
"Milwaukee already is favored
with one of the best harbors in ex
istence, comprising elaborate inner
and outer harbor systems. Two
mo?t important features of the har
bor improvement program involve
the new lower harborasin and the
protected outer harbor terminals.
Both these projects were inaugurat
ed several years ago and are de
signed on lines tlt meet all re
quirements for ocean tonnage.
"Ocean boats commonly draw 25
to M) feet, and both the lower har
bor basin and the outer harbor ter
minals are designed for 31) feet or
more draught. The basin and ter
minal system both simplifies and
improves an already economic har
bor system. Navigation companies,
whether domastic or foreign, will
save much time in port and almost
eliminate towage bills. Shippers
save much time through the ter
minal service, and much transfer
expense. The differential on coal
alone in the Milwaukee harbor is
about 5 cents per ton.
"Milwaukee, like many other lake
ports, already has marine interests
equal to most oi the ocean ports as
regards both facilities and tonnage
handling. '
"If foreign shipments from the
Great Lakes region could be started
by water instead, of being jammed
through railroad traffic to peach sea
board, 30 to 40 per cent of the pres
ent traffic load could be taken off
the railroads, and the railroads still
be kept employed to their capacity
in handling domestic commerce
which otherwise would have been
held up."
All Concerned Deny
Reported Dietz Plan
For Alaska Air Trip
C. N. Dietz, wealthy Omaha lum
ber dealer, may have purchased the
first metal Larsen monoplane "with
its limousine body," as reported
Thursday, but he wonVadmit it.
And if he has, his brother, Gould,
knows nothing about it. All con
cerned deny reports published by an
Omaha newspaper.
"The report must have resulted
from a joking remark my brother
made at the Omaha club," said
Gould. "He told several friends
he'd take them fishing when he got
his new plane."
Mrs. C. N. Dietz was equally firm
in denying her husband had ambi
tions to soar in higher atmosphere.
Herbert E. Smith, director of op
eration of the federal air mail field,
who, rt was reported, would resign
to become "k sort of an air-chauffeur
for Mr. Dietr," was most em
phatic of all in his denials.
"No paper asked me about my
irlans," he said. "I have no inten
tion of resigning, and I know noth
ing about Mr. Dietz buying a plane
or planning to fly to Alaska. Be
sides, I'm not a regular pilot."
Breaks Another Record.
New York, July 15. Miss
Ethelda Bleibtrey of New York to

( hlr,fO Tribune -Oninlui flee Leased Wire.
Chicago, July 16. About a month
ago a fisherman, whose nam is
withheld by the federal agents, was
proping for minnows at the foot M
Oak street and his net brought up
something that today caused the ar
rest of rive alleged counterfeiters
and the seizure of one of the most
complete plants on record for the
manufacture of spurious monev. The
federal officials also secured a con
fession, startling in its details of
the latest and most modem moncj
counterfeiting methods.
The unnamed fisherman brr.iglt
up two plates for the manufacture
of $10 federal reserve bank note1;.
He consulted a friend who advis'd
him to turn them over to Captain
T'orter of the secret service, vvhi-h
he did and was advised to say noth
ing of the find.
Captain Porter immediately rec
ognized that the plates had been
made at a certain engravers aim
finally spotted a man and shade wed
him for three weekf and then ai
rcsted him. He is Joseph C. Bail,
a commercial artist and he was so
tightly encompassed bv evidence
'he secret service had compiled, thit
he made a full confession, involving
John Garvin. Martin Baer, George
Bradford and L. C. Osborn. The
first two were captured here and
the two lafter were picked up ir.
Indianapolis. All are commercn1
artists of the hignest tvne and a'l
admit they are reds or members of

The counterfeiting plant wa
tcund at the home of Garvin, a
press, a complete photo-engraving
outfit of costly design, much other
paraphernalia and a big stock ot
plates and bank note paper were
found.
The counterfeiters had floated on
ly a few hundred of the spurious
bills which the experts say are prac
tically perfect.
State Board Will Compel
Raise in Valuations
Lincoln, Neb., July 16. (Special.)
At a session of the State Board of
Equalization this afternoon action
was taken to compel the county
boards of Nuckolls and Holt coun
ties to rescind their action in cut
ting down the valuation of the two
counties as reported by their county
and precinct assessors.
Notice had been brought to the at
tention of the board that the county
boards had lowered the valuations
and, after getting an opinion from
the attorney general, the board this
afternoon ordered the boards of the
IvVc counties to reconvene and re
consider their action. It is under
stood that other counties have taken
the same action as Nuckolls and Holt
but so far the board has no official
notice of such action.

is being threshed from a 20 acre field
on the Winfrey farm owned by K.
A. Clark. It tested between 60 and
61 pounds to the bushel and sold at
a local elevator at $2.50.
A rain of more than 1 inch Tues
day night made the wheat damp and
caused it to test less than it would
have otherwise. The" first wheat
here was threshed Tuesday by M. A.
Smith in a field of 30 acres, that
produced 325 bushels and tested 62.

the shocks this afternoon being
more severe than the one this morn-
Pomona and adjoining towns in the

shocks. Similar reports came from
Los Angeles county beach resorts.
Prisoners in Uproar.
Perhaps the greatest clamors
came from the prisoners in the
county and city jails. In the for

turnkeys were trying to quiet Jhem
when the third tremor came. The
resultant uproar lasted an hour.
The prisoners in the city jai!
were less excited, although the
building was slightly damaged, old
cracks in the walls widening and
plaster falling from ceilings. A
matron of the women's department
became hysterical and was carried
home. Hysteria also overcame oth
ers of the women officers of the
department.
For hours the receiving hsspitrl
maintained by the pity was crowd
ed with women and children, most
of whom had fainted in the excite

ever, suffered more, serious acci

stores also were overflowing with
hysteria and fqintiug cases.

40 minutes. The initial disturbance
was noted at 12:20 p. m. and con
tinued until 1 p. m. The greatest dis
turbance was between 12:32 and
12:34. Observers at the university

SUMMER SCHOOL
FOR SAILORS IS
OPENEDAT LAKES
Youths Between Ages of 16
and 20 Will Receive Regu
lar Training of Sea-
men.
Washington, July 16. Summer
schools for the training of youths
between the ages of 16 and 20 years
were opened today at the Hampton
Roads and Great Lakes naval train
ing stations. Enrollments for the
schools were received at the naval
recruiting stations; and the appli
cants were required to pass the or
dinary qualifications for enlistment
in the navy.
Provision for these schools was
made in the last animal appropria
tion bill. Those attending are re
quired to enroll for three mouths in
the naval reserve force. They will
receive the pay of apprentice sea
men for the six weeks' course,
amounting in all to abouT$50, and
also transportation back to their
homes. In addition, the navy fur
nishes all subsistence, uniforms and
equipment.
While the schools will observe a
naval routine in outdoor drills and!
exercises, there will be no book
and it is purposed, officials said, to
conduct them as much as possible
on the lines of a "summer camp."
Physical development, "education of
character" and cultivation of naval
traditions are set forth as the prin
cipal objectives. About 40 commis
sioned and noncommissioned offi
cers have been assigned as in
structors at each school.
While no actual cruises for at
tendants are planned, there will he
numbers of small naval vessels
available for their inspection and
training in addition to yachts and
other small craft for recreation pur
poses. Code Bill Expert May Sue
State Auditor for $2,200
Lincoln, Neb., July 16. (Special.)
It is probable that J. L. Jacobs,
the efficiency expert who came here
to put the cqrle bill in effect and
start the departments off right, may
bring suit to compel State Auditor
George W. Marsh to issue the war
rant. Jacobs put in a bill, after it had
been O. K.'d by the department of
finance, for $2,200 for the work and
Auditor Marsh refused to issue the
warrant on the grounds that the bill
was excessive. The attorney general
gave his opiniop that the bill must
be paid, but the auditor still objects.
If a suit is brought the question
arises as to whether the legal de
partment of the state will represent
the state auditor or the finance de
partment. Lends Auto to His Friend,

"Sweetheart In Every Port"
Axiom Proven In Discov
ery of Numerous Wives
of Gob.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Be Leased Wire.
Chicago, July 16. Mary Carlin is
only 16 years old, but she has had
a practical demonstration of the old
saying that "a sailor has a sweet
heart in everv port." Harry Toy-
ser, her youthful alleged husband,
was only a young sailor who had
not visited many ports, but he im
proved jvhat chances he had.
Judge Samuel Trude heard all
about it today. Harry was one of
the young sailors who accepted the
hospitality of the club in Brooklyn
where Mary and other patriotic
girls were giving fudge parties and
doing what they could to make the
sailor boys happy.
Harry, who was 26, but looks
16, made desperate love to Mary
and proposed a hasty marriage. She
consented and believed they were
married. She did not sec the li
cense or the certificate, but proudly
diplayed a ring.
"I was so happy," she said,
pathetically. "And then Harry
wanted to come back to Chicago to
visit some relatives and I let him
go. Then he wrote me a letter say
ing he had never married and that
he was through. I came to Chicago
and found that he alfeady had three
wives when he went through the
fake ceremony with me."
She has located one of his wives
here and both of them are assisting
federal detectives in hunting for the
L'lithesome Harry, who will be
prosecuted for bigamy and viola
tion of the Mann act providing he
is caught.
