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."

Your Face and What It Tells
How'd You Like to Be In the Oil Business? 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.
