EDITORIAL PAGES ELEVEN TO TWENTY | . VOL. REMEDIAL LOAN PEOPLE GET BUSY/ Stock Subseriptions Being Solicited | by Backers of Movement, but No Money Paid In Yet. XLV—NO. ( STILL TALK OF MORRIS BANK | o i Stock subscriptions are already being taken by the men back of the | movement for a remedial loan as- | sociation in Omaha, which is to fur- | nish small loans in a way to relieve the small borrowers from the clutches of the loan sharks that have | preyed upon them for years. | A definite organization has not yet been formed, and no stock has as yet been paid in. It is expected | that definite steps to organize will | be taken within a week by the elec- tion of temporary officers at least. ! Those heading the movement are Paul Kuhne, Willlam Adair, ¥. 8. Knapp, Wilbur L. Burgess, Dr. Ira Porter, W. L. Palmatier, 1. W. Carpenter, A. F. Stryker and J. B. Palmer. The company will probably be Incorporated for $100,000. In the meantime there s still some talk | of the organization of a Morris Plan bank in Omaha to serve a similar service. Rep- resentatives of the parent Morris Plan bank in New York are still in the city Going some work, and a meeting was held a few days ago by some of the local men interested in this plan, when the representatives, Linder. and West, were present. Following this meeting, how- ever, no information was given out as to what is the present status of this move- ment in the light of the activity of the | remedial loan people. i L. C. George, who favors the Morris | Plan bank, said if the remedial loan | people get started right he will not hesi- | tate to take stock with them, even though | he is championing the Morris Plan sys- | tem at present. i Seats for Grand | Opera Engagement | Are Selling Fast| Requests for seat reservations for tho | coming short season of grand opera at | the Auditorium, April 13 and 14, by the Boston Grand Opera company and the | Paviowa Imperial Ballet Russe, have | been sent in steadily by letter and tele- phone ever since the announcement of thig extraordinary engagement. Although the regular seat sale was advertised not to start until April 4, through a mie- understanding, about $1,000 worth of tick- ets had been disposed of before Local Manager Pryor discovered that seats ‘were even on sale. “Well,” eald Pryor, when informed of the error, “I hate to turn down real cash, keep it up, fill all orders whether made in person by phone or by mail,” and as a result up to Thursday noon $2,80 worth of tickets had been aold, and that nearly a month before ihe opera. In asking Manager Franke and phoning ex-Manager Gillan of the Audi- torium, both stated that in thelr experi- ence a large advance sale so long befors the acual performance had mnever oc- curred in their time. A considerable number of people have made requests for seats the night Felice Lyne sings. As Miss Lyne was a Kansas City girl, many of our prominent folks are very famillar with her singing. Mrs. | A. L. Mohler phoned for seats and stated that she hoped Miss Lyne would sing | in the cast of “La Boheme,” for she sald that she had many times heard this harming soprano sing solos from that apera and could hardly wait to hear her sing the entire role. Mr. Pryer had not at that time recelved the casts, so he wired for particulars and finds that Miss 241, THE OMAHA DAILY BEE l)\I\H\ SATU RI\\\ MORNING, M \hl'l[ 25 20, 1916.
