.Omaha Becomes
Headquarters of
Air Mail Service
Division Points Changed to
Increase Efficiency Two
i Routes Are Discontinued
Washington, July 1. (Special
Telegram.) Beginning July 1 Oma
ha will become one of the hubs
of what the Postofflce , department
will make the model air mail line of
the world. The St. Louis and Min
neapolis lines will be discontinued
and all efforts centered on the Iew
York to San Francisco route.
While Omaha will no longer be a
division point, the division head
quarters will be moved there, due to
its central location. Superintendent
A. R. Dumphy has been ordered
transferred to Omaha from Cheyenne.
Under the new system the Omaha
division will be from Chicago to
Rock Springs, Wyo. No equipment
at the Omaha field will be moved
and it will stijl be one of the most
important fields on the route.
The new compact system to be in
troduced to improve the service will
consist of three divisions: New
York to Chicago, Chicago to Rock
Springs, Rock Springs to San Fran
cisco. William Votaw will continue In
Omaha as manager of the air mail
station.
The discontinuance of the St.
Louis and Minneapolis routes means
the transfer of Pilots Lee, Garrison
and Chandler to the Omaha division.
This trio of pilots will assume their
rew runs on July 5. ,

Pawnee County Farmers
Find Time for Bargains
Pawnee City, Neb., July 1. (Spe
cial.) Pawnee City's third Com
munity Sales day was a big success.
The farmers are very busy and those
who came to town came in a hurry,
bought their goods and hurried
away. In most cases the women
came, but they too did not tarry, and
the streets lacked that crowded
noisy atmosphere which has charac
terized previous sales. The total
business transacted fell just a little
short of the last sales day.

Aftpr six vears' service, two federal
officials relinquished office yesterday.
They are lorn i. Allen ot L.incoin,
United States attorney, who is suc

Both retiring officials return to the
law practice in their ' respeective
towns...
The new incumbents were sworn
into office, yesterday.
Kinsier will have authority to ap
point two assistants. He will not do

until he has had time to interview a
number of applicants. Lincoln and
Omaha attorneys contend for the ap
pointments, he said.
In the meantime Frank Peterson
and Lloyd Magney, present deputies,
will remain in office.
High points of interest during the
Allen regime were the celebrated
wild horse case in which 30 men were
convicted for selling 16,000 head of
phantom horses in Arizona; the
Thomas H. Matters case, resulting in
sending the Omaha banker-lawyer
to Leavenworth, despite presidential
appeals for pardon; the Pathfinder
title to' seepage waters from the
ditch, estimated at $1,000,000 per
year; 85 Indian land cases; investi
gation of 5,000 cases alleged dis
loyalty during the war; convictions
in 30 espionage cases.
Allen made a statement in which
he said he received the congratula
tions of the attorney general of the
United States for having the largest
percentage of convictions of any dis
trict attorney in the country.
Mr. Loomis' report shows 111,472
income tax returns made for the fis
cal year. This is several thousand
in excess of last year, he stated.
Autos Run in City on Iowa -Fee

The practice of Omaha motorists
in obtaining Iowa licenses in Coun
cil Bluffs and thus avoiding the
wheel tax here will be stopped by an
agreement just reached by Omaha
and Council Bluffs authorities, ac
cording to City Clerk Bossie.
The agreement provides that only
when motor vehicles are housed in
Council Bluffs can a chauffeur's li
cense be obtained from the license
clerk in that city. This applies to
vehicles owned and housed in Coun
cil Bluffs which operate a part of the
time in Omaha.

"Triple Voiced" Omahan
To Stay at Minneapolis
Joseph Kaufman, ex-soldier, given
nation-wide publicity for his "triple
voice," did not return to Omaha yes
terday, with his brother, Jack, 2429
Decatur street, as the family ex
pected. He has not recovered sufficiently
from a recent operation in the
Minneapolis Reconstruction hospital
to make the trip. Federal vocational
officials desire him to remain there,
anyway, until he has completed a
course in a music school there.
The youth who sings in three
voices at one time probably will go
on a vaudeville circuit in the fall, his
brother stated. The vocation bureau
has the matter in hand now.
Kaufman lived in Omaha and was
employed at the Thiele-Scharf mil
linery house before he entered the
service.
Commission Issues
Permit for Bout
Prosecutor Garven Not to Pre
sent Complaint to New
Jersey Grand Jury.
Jersey City, N. J., July 1. Chair
man Robert L. Doherty of the New
Jersey boxing commission last night
issued the permit for the Carpentier
Dempsey contest to the New Jersey
Athletic club and George L. (Tex)
Rickard.
The isuance of the permit and the
statement of Prosecutor Garven that
he will not present the complaint of
the International Reform bureau to
the grand jury unless further evi
dence df a conspiracy is presented
virtually disposes of all legal diffi
culties in the way of the contest.
Dr. Wilbur F. Crafts of the Inter
national Reform bureau, in a long
letter to Governor Edwards, made
public today, demanded that he pre
vent the bout. Governor Edwards,
before receiving the letter, stated:
"You may say that thj fight will
go on and will be conducted abso
lutely within the law."
In his letter Dr. Crafts declared
that the governor would find him
self in an awkward position if he
attended the fight and it turned out
to be a crime. Dr. Crafts also wrote
Governor Sproul of Pennsylvania
who has been invited to the fight as
the guest of Governor Edwards, ask
ing him to stay away.

claims for their deposits, have them
audited and verified by the receiver,
and transferred to the savings de
partment of the Lincoln State bank

sary as real estate securities and

bilities aggregate only $26,302.98.

At the time of the failure of the
Pioneer State bank in Omaha, the

same. At that time, the Midland
bank was pronounced solvent.
Since then, Hart says, "the bank's
credit has been seriously impaired
and withdrawals of deposits were be
coming more urgent from day to
day."
