This time it is a case of discrimination {n tourist passenger rates. In the recent lineup rates by the Western Passenger as- sociation a manifest example of dis- crimination against Omaha in favor During the approaching tourist season the round trip rate between Kansas City and Chfcago on business east of Chi- cago will be $18.10. The short line between Kansas City and Chicago is a distance of 451 miles, On the same olass of business the round trip rate between Omaha and Chicago is $24.10. The short line between Omaha and Chicago is a distance of 458 milos. Over Three Dollars More. Thus ‘parties going east out of Omaha on touriats' rates will pay $5.60 more on their round-trip tickets than thowe going east out of Kansas City, although the distance from Omaha to Chlcago is only thirty-six miles greater than the dis- tance between Kansas City and Chicago. A similar discrimination against Omaha applies on westbound passenger business out of Chicago. For instance from Chicago to San Fran- cisco and return the rate is $72.50. From Omaha the round-trip rate is $0. Thus a passenger buying a round-trip ticket from Chicago pays §1260 for that part of the journey between Chicago and Omaha and back agaln. From Omaha west there is no corresponding reduction. Another discrimination against Omaha applies to southern business, Recently the railroads made a round trip rate of $31 from Kansas City to Jacksonvill, Fla. On the same date the rate to Jack sonville from Omaha was $50.68, notwith standing that the round trip rate betwsen Omala and Kansas City without any re- duction at all is $982. On this occasion Kansas City had an advantage of nearly Dr. Banks at University Olub—Edgar J. Banks, A. B, A. M. Harvard; Ph. D. Breslau, will be the guest of the Uni- versity club for luncheon today at noon, and will speak on “The Discovery of an Anclent City.” Dr. Banks is one of the foremost authorities in the United States on archaeology and was formerly American consul at Pagdad. Wants $0 Know About Omaha—H. L. Gustafson, secretary of the retail trade bureau of Lynn, Mass., writes to J. W. Metcalfe, secretary of the Associated Re- tailers of Omaha, for Information as to methods used in the Omaha assoclation. He says he has heard a great deal about the big things accomplished by the Omaha assoclation. Use ‘Tex-Tile” Shingles. Sunderlands, President Pioneer Junior League Hag Some Depot Ideas “If the most anemic hick-burg that ever disturbed the peace by its snores has anything on Omaha in the way of depots I'll bet a fellow could make money selling photographs of it to the funny pe - ‘Thia little impromptu speech was made in the court house by C. T. Wililams, contractor and. presidenit of the Omaba Junior Ploneers’ league. He was talking to Harry Pearce, registrar of deeds. A regular S-cent tobacco cigar was in his teeth when he started talking, but he warmed to his subject, he got excited and commenced chewing. “Take that Northwestern depot at Fif- teenth and Webster. That's a riot. Why the bugs and vermin are so thick in that place that a monkey'd go crazy from ‘sheer delight if he was ever turned loose in the place.” > The Ploneer league, composed of eit- izens of twenty-five years' residence in Omaha, will take up the depot project at a big smoker and jollification to be held in Swedish auditorium on the even- ing of April 3. At a meeting Monday night the league indorsed The Bee's campaign to induce the rallroads to build a centralized union station. Federal Red Tape Proves Hardship to Former Sailor Lad Because governmental ‘red tape” s causing distress to an invalild who gave the best of his young life to his country, county autherities, through J. M. Leldy, administrator of, charities, are making things warm in Washington. Mrs. W. R. Adams of the Visith Nurses' association, attracted Mr. Leldy attention to the case of James H. Bracken, 2819 South Twenty-first street. who contracted tuberculosis while sery- ing his second enlistment in the navy. At the federal hospital at Bremerton, | Wash., navy physiclans urged him to ap- ply for discharge papers and get a pen- slon. This was done several months ago, and Bracken came to Omaha to live | with a sister-iniaw. Now he s deprived | of hospital care and his salary and is not | getting his pension. Mr. Leidy has written to Congressman Lobeck asking him to hasten things along, and Mr. Lobeck has already started unwinding the ‘‘tape.” NEW SUGAR BEET FACTORY TO BE BUILT AT DEADWOOD General Agent Benjamin of the North- western's Black Hilla lines is at head- quarters and asserts that the entire west. ern part of Nebraska, as well as the Black Hills country, is entering upon an era of the greatest prosperity that ever has been experienced. Within the last month Deadwood has secured the contract for the erection of & sugar beet factory that will be com- pleted and in operation to handle the crop of this year. The country erecting the factory, Mr. Benjamun asserts, required contracts for the planting of 7.000 acres of beets this season. Business men of Deadwood entered the campaign and in- | of two weeks secured contracts for | 11,000 instead of 7,000 acres.

No Logleal Reason, Omaha passenger officlals can advance no reason whatever for this evident dis- crimination. It {8 merely the result of arbitrary rulings by the Western Pas- senger association which makes Kansas City a rete basing point and lgnores Omaha. Rates applylng to Omaha are made with Chicago as a basing point. Why Xansas City should be a rate basing point and why Omaha s not is & mystery to the local passenger traffic men that apparently has no solution be- yond the fact that it seems to be a popular pastime of the railroad men to hang the triple cross sign on Omaha In favor of Kansas City every time an op- portunity presents itself. Twelve Miles of Window Front in Stores of Omaha A ten or twelve-mile front is some front even for a battle line In a big war. A ten or twelve-mile front 1s just what the speclally decorated windows of the retall stores of Omaha are to have for the “Week of Wonderful Windows," which opens the evening of March 3. This is probably more display space than any other community in the United Btates possesses. In actual feet, Omaha has 50,000 to 60,000 running feet of window display space, ‘This does not mean square feet, but it means feet of frontage for display pur- poses. | of tourist THE The Peaceful BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, MA Home C oming MILLS CAPTURES BXPERT RAISER Splits and Doctors Genuine Bills to Give Them Much Higher Denomination. AND HE HAS HORNY HANDS A $50 bill and a $5 blll were con- verted into $100 by Mike Pit- teniccshio by a new and original process. 3 Mike was trailed and captured by Hugh Mills of Omaha, government secret service agent. The capture took place in Des Moines and Pit- tenfccshio {s mow in jall under $6,000 bond. The man did his work with an artistic finish worthy of a more honest end. He took a gemuine #0 bill and split the face trom the back. Then he took a genuine §6 bill and split Its face from its back. Next he pasted the $6 back on the back of the %0 face. He took certain other figures and letters from certain other bills of small denomination and pasted them In proper places on the $ back In order to make It look like the real back of his $50 bill. Then he took the back of the genulne $0 bill and pasted it on the back of his real $ bill and “doctored” it up with a few figures and letters cut from other genuine bills. By this process he made about $40 on each transaction. He passed six of the bills before Mills captured him, together with his whole outfit. He is a big-handed fellow with stubby fingers and calloused palms, says Mills, and apparently little fitted to do the wonderfully delicate work Involved in splitting bills apart and fitting them together with paste, General Pershing's | Son is at Lincoln| The following, clipped from the soclety columns of the Lincoln Star, gives some interesting information about the pa- thetic little figure of Warren Pershing, | the sole survivor of the family of Gen- eral Pershing, when Warren's mother and little sisters were burned to death in the Preeidio fire early last winter “Miss Mary Pershing returned Thure day from San Antonlo, where she went about six months ago to be with her brother, General John L.
