Thousands of people were induced to #top in the Gate City on their way cast or west during the last summer as the re sult of the bureau's campalgn. Over 10,00 bird's-eyo view books of Omaha and 30,00 folders, “Where to Go, What to Bee and How to Get There,” were distributed by the bureau, the former throughout the country and the latter at iocal rallway depots and hotels. Many important national and state con ventions were also secured for Omaha during the summer and fall by the Pub- lleity bureau. In that way Omaha mer chants, hotelmen and persons in all kinds of business huve been directly benefited through greatly increased trade. Among the bigger conventions were those Travelers' Protective association, the Let- ter Carriers, the Farmers' National con- gress, the Sacngerbund and many others, each of which brought from several hun- dred to 3,00 people to the eity Big Attendance at Conventlons, Records of convention attendance have proved that the system of promotion employed by the Bureau of Publicity Is almost certain to break former attend- ance records of the conventions when they meet In Omaha. 4 All sorts of valuable publicity for the city has also been secureq by thé bu- reau through feature illustrated articles about Omal written by Manager Par- rish and published in various papers and.| magazines, Manager Parrish also has alded materially in giving publicity to many of Omaha's big enterprises, includ- ing Ak-Sar-Ben, the retallers' charity concert course, the jobbers’ market week, the auto show and others. The bureau also has assisted in entertaining the State Teachers’ assoclation. A number of big conventions will meet in Omaha before the close of the year, through the bureau's efforts, and many have already been secured by it for me. - During the perlod from June 1 to No- vember 1 expenditures by the Bureau of Publicity, in advertising the city and pro- moting Its business and activities, to- talled $7,95.87. Money for oxpenses Is furnished by subscriptions by prominent firms and men, Spares Bird Fatted For Thanksgiving; Ice Wagon Kills It Police Judge Harvy Reed of the South Bide fattened a huge turkey for three weeks before Thanksglving. When the great event in the life of the fowl came early Thursday morning the judge didn't have the heart to kill it. He saved it planning to train it into the role of a private pet, Yeaterday morning, just the morning after Thanksgiving, remember, a South Omaha Ice company wagon ran over the fowl and killed it before the judge's resi- dence, at Twenty-fourth and O streets. The judge mourned the prize greatly and says that he is golng to have it stuffed to be used as evidence in the suit he is golng to start against George Gribble of the ice company. Comptroller Again Cites Instances of Usury by the Banks WASHINGTON, Nov. #.—In reply m criticlsms of the Ameriean Bankers' as- | soclation in connection with his declara- | tion that many national banks charge tsurious interest rates, John Skelton Willlams, comptroller of the currency, is- #ved a statement tonight again giving in- | stences of such practices. Mr. Wilhams sald it was true that a majority of the national banks obeyed the usury laws of the various states, but that the reports rendered to him showed, #t he announced in speeches and previous public statements, that this was far from Leing universally true, “The only states where thers were no vational banks which admitted under cath in their statements of September 2, 1915, that they were charging as high as 12 per cent on any of their loans were Conpecticut, Delaware, Mississippl, New Y ampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont and ‘Wiaconsin,” sald the statement. 1t added that reports of September 2, 1915, showed that 3743 of the 7,613 national banks of the country were charging 10 per cent on rome loans. Mr. Willlams suggested that hereafter nutional banks be required to print in their published statements of condition the maximum rate of interest charged. Hie expressed the hope that the associa- tion would work with the comptroller's . «fice to end the practices complained of. ————— s New Discovery will stop T L dve: tsement. ke | of the | men |aw | Director Stewart, charter membership of any fraternal or ganization ever organizeq in this city, and the large Swedisn Auditorium hall | WI'l be taxed to its capacity today when the eclection of permanent officers will take place.
