Fremont, Neb., Dec. 6. (Special
Telegram.) One ol the most sensa
tional charges ever made in this
county was brought to the Dodge
county court today when Ogden Mil
ligan presented a petition of inter
vention in the- dispute over a latul
title between Thomas P. Curran of
Omaha, and his father. John L, Mil--li."an.

property and .i.u' :kI it to Cur
ran. Ogden now ai.. ; ihat his.
brother, Joseph, was ..; iitally in
competent to control li i own af
fairs and says that he was in v n
weakened condition resulting from
debauches during the past year, is
a dipsomaniac and otherwise irre
sponsible. He alleges that Curran conspired
wnn jacK anu .eima snori in inc
attempt to frighten and threaten
Joseph into transfering the property
to Curran, who acted as their at-
torney. He alleges that Jack and
Zeh.v.a Short inviegled Joseph into
;i love affair and illegal relations' and
later threatened him with suit for
damages and alienation of effections
and white slavery if he did not give
Jack Short $10,000 or a deed to the
property which Joseph owned.
He says that his brother, a victim
of the fear of persecution and threats,
signed an agreement to this effect.
The plaintiff alleges that Jack and
Zehna Short are not man and wife,
as they claim to be, and ac'cuses the
woman of being involved yi disrep
utable affairs in Omaha.
The case was adjourned until next
Monday so that more witnesses can1
be brought before the court. An ef
fort1 will be made to locate Joseph
Milligan, said by his brother to have
disappeared.
Ogden Milligan requested the
court to adjudge the deed now held
by Curran null and void.

kiucoln. Dee. 6. Then' are 35
coupties in the state without public
libraries of any kind, according to
Miss Nellie Williams, secretary of
the state library commission. She
says there arc but 116 tax-supported
libraries, and about 30 association
libraries in the state, less than half
enough to atisfy the demands of the
people.
People in many. rural communities
of Nebraska must depend entirely
upon the traveling libraries of the
commission to atisly their desires
for literature.
The forthcoming session of legis
lature will be aked, it is said by Miss
Williams, to authorize thet employ
ment of a field worker whose duty it
will be to encourage women's clubs
and other organizations to get be
hind a movement to provide for a
county library by taxation. Nebraska
has no county libraries.
There is a state law authorizing
county commissioners, on authority
of the voters, to establish libraries.
The library levy, the law provides,
in no case shall exceed five mills.
In Successful Use Elsewhere.
Miss Williams says if the various
organizations of the state realized the
importance of convenient libraries
they would endorse the tax levy.
Other states, she says, ' have had
splendid success with county libra
ries. . ,
The library commission has ap
proximately 22,000 books which are
loaned out at all times. About half
of the books are circulated by the
traveling libraries. The traveling
libraries usually are sent to rural
schools for distribution. Each
library contains from 20 to 25 books,
about equatly divided between fic
tion and nonaction. Commiguties
are sent as many' libraries as needed
to satisfy .the people they serve.
In recent years the dinand for au
thoritative books on agriculture and
home economics by farm residents
has caused the state library com-

mm
mission to exert every effort to sup
ply them with the best literature
available on the subject.
Uusual Requests Received.
Miss Williams receives some un
usual requests from people seeking
authoritative iformation on subjects
they have been asked to discuss or
debate. ,
During the debating season her
office is swamped with requests for
special books from students and
club women. For the most part the
books requested arc on subjects of
a general character, but it is not
unusual to receive an appeal for in
formation on freak topics. Also it
is not unusual for Miss Williams to
receive a letter marked "urgent"
from an active club woman asking
tier to prepare a "piper that will
take about 20 minutes to read to
my club." The club women ex
plains that she is too busv with her
social duties to prepare the article
herself, and that she will be obliged,
etc. The subject may be immigra
tion, problems of a South African
ape, or the league of nations, it
doesn't make any difference to the
club woman,
John Owen Rankin, professor1 of
rural economics, State farm, is
making a survey of the library sit
uation in Nebraska, which may be
presented to the legislature.'
Potato Growers' Body
v Wants Better Service
From Railroad Lines
Lincoln, Dec. 6. (Spc.'ial.) The
Potato Growers association of N
braska feels that the railroads have
been receiving: so many privileges
that they ought to he compelled to
pass some of thenf along- and there
fore has sent the following com
munication to the state railway com
mission: -y
"Jn view' of the fact lhat-thc rail
roads have received a substantial in
crease in freight rates and should
therefore endeavor to give the ship
per better service.
"We, the members of the board
of directors of ie Nebraska Potato
Growers Co-operative exchange, rep
resenting 2,000 potato growers, .re
quest and urge that the Nebraska
State Railway commission use its
power, to have the railroad com
panies equip the cars used for ship
ping potatoes with false bottoms.
The farmers of this district have beep
compelled to furnish these bottoms
at their own expense, which we con
sider to be unjust to the shipper.
Bee want'ads.are business getters.
