THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY. APRIL 1, 1921. O'Brien, Backer Of Young Pastor Starts for Home '.'Millionaire' Friend of Pro motcr Induced to Leave Long Pine by Relatives; Wants No Publicitv. T. E. O'Brien of Chicago, selt tyled millionaire backer of Robert L. Jenkinson, Omaha's youthful pas-or-promoter of oil shale products, us not lost faith in his idol. In company with his son and Rrandson, S. T. O'Brien and S. T. O'Brien, jr., of Chicago, the cider fiancier started for his home from Long Pine, Neb., last night. The aged man had stopped at ' ong Pine to investigate and invest i land. Jenkinson is believed to be in Chicago, according to E. E. Upstill, proprietor of the Hotel Upstill at Long Pine. Friends of the etder O'Brien have been trying to win him away from Jenkinson and his oil shale schemes, V.'pstill said. Residents of Long Vine are wary of the intent of Jen kinson. In a letter to The Bee, Mr. O'Brien uates: "I would suggest the wisdom of dropping my name except as it might occur in legitimate news. I am no mendicant. The day I arrived in Long Pine, I denosited securities amtfuntinsr to Kfl.OOO in the Brown County bank. lliese securities are there intact. ' V. A. Bucklin, president of the bank, told The Bee over long dis tance telephone that Mr. O'Brien de posited with his bank a $10,000 note mortgage on Chicago property feigned by "this fellow Jenkinson."

It's for Men of Motive Structure and Medium Texture, Analyst Says. Wife Tells Husband . Of Divorce Plans as She Catches Train By MABEL WARNER RUGG. OMAHA is the distributing point for a remarkably widespread oil-consuming territory. Qil jobbers from here supply fuel and lubrication for the tractors, the ma chinery and the automobiles to the extreme western section of the state and even ship far into adjoining states. Hence the oil industry offers a sp'endid future in Omaha to the man adapted for it. i Such a man should be of motive structure, mechanically inclined 3nJ of medium texture, no matter what phase of the business he picks. True to the times, the oil business has its specialists some men devot ing their time to "fet'med products, such as gasoline and kerosene: others specializing on lubricating oils, as chemists, lubrication ciiRi nccrs. and special salesmen calling on special types ot users: and still others selling the fuel oil line, which is an outgrowth of the substitution cf oil for coal, from the huge rail road engine down to .the furnace in private dwellings. Evolution of "Oil Man." If you want to become a iull fledged oil man, the best place to learn the business is to go to the center of production, down to the land of the "gusher." This means hard, dirty work as a driller or roust about, but it will give you a knowl edge of oil which cannot be gotten in any other way. Then you should spend sufficient time in the refinery to understand thoroughly the dif ferent grades and processes neces sary to produce them. If you like the production and re finery end of the business, there are many different kinds of jobs to be had lease salesmen, who should be geologists; refinery superintendents, chemists. lubrication engineers, wholesale salesmen and the regular office opportunities. Sales Opportunities. In the jobbing end of the oil in dustry, as in nearly any other busi ness, your best opportunity is in selling. All of the local oil com panies have many , branches out in the state, with a manager in charge of each. These managers must be salesmen and all round business men, who have the ability to put over their otvn business. If you imagine the oil industry is only a gambling game, with the possibility of your striking it rich over night better stay out of it; If the business as a whole appeals to you and you are adapted for it, you will find oil one of the most inter esting and scientific studies in the world, with the usual financial re ward for intelligent effort.

Omahan Gets Bonus From Minnesota by Efforts of Legion Through the efforts of the Amer ican Legion, Herman Meyer Elling-' son, 1727 South Fourteenth street, obtained a check for $600 yesterday from the Minnesota state govern ment. The" money was a gratuity for services during the war. j Ellingson had almost given up hope of getting. the bonus when last November he made a final appeal to the American Legion for help. He entered military service from Minne sota, his record showed. When H. C. Hough, adjutant of Douglas county post, notified Elling son by telephone to come to his of fice, the ' former service man left nothing but space behind. "It's a God-send." Ellingson said when presented with the check. He is married. had taken steps to get a divorce, Mr. Swobe declared yesterday. 'It is a bolt from the blue to me," he said. The petition for divorce was filed in district court yesterday. It al leges extreme cruelty and nonsup port. "She told nie less than 15 minutes before she boarded the train that she had taken steps to get the divorce," Mr. Swobc said. "Our married life oi 18 years has been very happy."' The Swobes resided in the Colo nial apartments, Thirty-eighth and Farnani streets. Mrs. Swobc had been writing in surance for the Mutual Life Insur ance company since last July, in which work she has been markedly successful. The couple were married in 1903 at Kirkland, 111., came to Omaha im mediately and have lived here since. Prominent Omalian Informed Of Action as Mate Leaves For Chicago. When Edwin T. Swobe, stock and bond broker in the W. O. W. build ing, took his wife, Mrs. Clara M. Swobc, to the train Wednesday night to bid her a farewell to Chicago, she gently informed him that she Girl Asks Heart Balm From Auto Agent She Says Broke Promise Entering into details of her alleged love affair with Charles' E. Johnson, automobile man, pretty Alta Grey, 21, told a. jury in district court yes terday that he showered kisses and attention upon her with promises of marriage, then backed down on his word. $ She is suing him for $25,000 heart balm. Plaintiff and defendant smiled cheerfully at times during the hear ing. Miss Grey described the night of the proposal, August 13, 1920. They had been for an automobile drive and he stopped the car in iront of l:cr home, "3906 South Fourteenth street, where she lives with her par ents, testimony showed. There, she said, he asked her to marry him. Manager Hints At Wage Cut for Street Car Men Says Company Mut Lower Operating Costs or Hike Fare; Indicates Former Plan Preferable. Indications that the wages oi street car men may be reduced as a result of a hearing to fix a perma nent rate of carfare in Omaha, be fore the state railway commission, April 25, were given out yesterday by R. A. Leussler, general manager of the traction company. While the company was not con sidering a wage reduction, Mr. Leus sler said, it faces one of two alter natives, a reduction in operating ex penses or an increase in laic. "We believe it is pood street car railroading to keep the fare as low as possible," Mr. Leussler said. Wages are the biggest operating expense to the company, the gener al manager stated. He indicated that it the state railway commission fa vors a reduction of operating expens es rather than a fare increase, wages will first be affected. . "The annual report filed by the company with the commission showed a lack of $32,000 of earning preferred stock dividends during 1920," Mr. Leussler said. The existing 61-4. and 7-ccnt fare went into effect August 10, 1919, as a temporary measure.
