Omaha Congressman Puts
Matters Before Chairman of
. Flood Control Committee;
Coveriiment Must Help.
By E. C. SNYDER.
V a.lilnittun ( orrMiidnt Omaha ttr.
W.i.niKt'm, 1). C, , Feb 22.
(Special Telegram.) ConKressnian
Jtlferis lias received a letter from
J. M. Gillan, manager of the in
dustrial bureau of tlie Unialui Cham
ber of Commerce, setting forth the
imperative need of an appropriation
to ehrck the ravages' of the Missouri
river aloiiK the water front between
Florence lake and Omaha.
Much of the. matter in Mr. Gillan's
communication has been used by the
Omaha representative in a memoran
dum to Congressman Kodcnbcrfr.
chairman of the flood control com
mittee of the house. Mr. Jeffcris
points out that -numerous companies
and private citizens, residents ot
East and North Omaha,' have ap-
) plied to the commissioners of Doug
las county for permission to or
ganize a drainage district to reclaim
and protect the land along the rjper
between the points named.
. Bounded by. Bluff.
' The district will be bounded ou'the
west by a bluff all the way from the
the Union Pacific bridge to a point
five miles north. In order to insure
thev safety of the proposed dike it
will be necessary for the government
to lend a hand in protecting the
dangerous points on the river.
"This seems a lair proposition,"
Mr. Jefferis Wrote Mr. Kodenberg.
"These residents are not asking the
government to build a dike, but they
rightfully feel that it should make
an honest effort to check the further
encroachment of the Missouri river,
elsetthe improvements planned will
, prove useless.
Will Cost '$200,000.-
"Hig Jeff." further adds th.it com
petent engineers employed by the
Omaha Chamber of Commerce have
declared that it will cast in the
neighborhood of $2Ul),000 to protect
the dike and he expressed the nope
that such an appropriation would be
recommended bv the committee on
floxnl control. '.
Mr. Kodenberg, in a letter received
todav bv Mr. efferis, states that
the matter will be brought to the at
tention of the committee at the first
opportunity .and he stated personal
ly to the Omaha congressman that
the map furnished, showing what was
contemplated by the drainage district,
was convincing. . . v
Wilson to Continue
Efforts, for. Peace
After Retirement
Washington, Feb. 22, President
Wilson expressed the determination
to devote himself, on retirement to
private life, to a continuation of bis
efforts toward world peace.
In his first I public utterance since
the election, tpie president in' receiv
ing a delegation from the Woodrow
Wilson club of Harvard university,
declared he had no intention of writ
ing a history of the Paris peace con
ference. He added that was a task
he preferred to leave to, tlie profes
sional historian, as the public ..might
be prone to take into consideration
the personal equation in any peace
proceedings he wrote. ;
After their visit the delegation
stated that they "were deeply im
pressed with the great heart of the
president as he seemed in reflection
" to think over peace" and said that
they were "deeply touched by the
president's faith in the ultimate ac
complishment of his effort towartls
peace and by the almost brilliant
good humor with which he is leaving
the White House.

manufacture and definite improve
ment in textile tlines as compared
with three months ago,- art reported
in ?mv England.
The shoe industry has taken a
spurt as a result of Easter demands
and manufacturers say they look for
a gejieral strengthening in the call
: for shoes after the usual dull spring
period, with a return to normal by
the end of the year.
Production of cotton textiles has
increased by from 25 to 50 per cent
and even more in some special lines,

Senate Passes
Window Bill to
Help Railroads
Measure Permitting Partial
Payments From Governiucat
Fund Adopted Without
Charge After Debate.
Washington, Feb. 22. Opposition
to the Winslow bill to permit partial
payments to. railroads from the gov
ernment guaranty fund, collapsed to
day in the senate and the measure
was passed without a record vote.
Senator -Townscnd, republican,
Michigan, in charge of the measure,
insisted that not one line' in the bill
as passed by the house should be
changed, lest conicrencc and ensu
ing parliamentary obstruction de
lay what he described as action
necessary to prevent bankruptcy, not
only among railroads, but atao
among railroad creditors.
Debate was brief barring a six
hour speech by Senator La Folfette,
republican, Wisconsin, who attacked
it as designed to enlarge the gov
ernment's original guarantee. An
amendment otiered by Senator La
FoUette which would have required
the Interstate Commerce commission
to investigate railroad expenditure
before further payments are made,
was defeated,, 47 to .19.
Senator Townsend asserted that
the railroads, because of reduced
earnings, were entitled to a total
payment of $000,01)0,000 under the
government guarantee against losses
during the six months following gov
ernmental control. The carriers, be
said, had received $250,000,000 of that
amount, "and congress supposed in
passing the transportation act, that
T
the balance of the $350,000,000
I could he paid in installments."
The comptroller of the treasury, he
I explained, had ruled that a final ac
I count must be rendered the govern
j ment before the roads could receive
I additional amounts. Railroad credit
