——— GOSSIP FORECASTS MORE U. P. CHANGES Dame Rumor Says Keep an Eye on Purchasing and Engineering Departments. CALVIN IS STILL THE BEST BET While waiting for word from New York, as to the successors to Presi- Bent Mohler and General Manager Ware, gossip is rife m Union Pacific gircles about more changes to come dlong with those already announced. President Mohler has gone away pn a fishing trip to rest up a bit and the best bet for his place continues to be E. E. Calvin of the Oregon hort Line, who was once a southern acific man, the same as was Chair- nan Lovett of the executive board. f this choice is made, however, it is hot certain that Mr. Calvin would be pt once elected president for, when Mr. Mohler took charge, he was offi- gially only ‘“vice prestdent and gen- eral manegr, and did not get the resident’s title untll about four ears later, Mr. Mohler, had he asked to be re- Bired under the pension system as es- tablished, would be entitled to 1 per gent of his average salary for each ear of his service, and being with he road less than ten years, this would be only 10 per cent of a sal- bry ranging {rom $25,000 up to the $36,000 which he is now drawing. To deal with him more liberally, how- ever, he is to be kept in an advisory capacity with a compensation of ( $7,500 a year. Expect Other Developments. The gossippers will have it that, | while ill-health is the impelling rea- fon for the Mohler resignation, the mpending reorganization goes back to the advent of Averill Harriman here and his installation of so-called efficiency methods. Young Mr. Har- riman has been business all through, in total disregard of tradition or per- sonal friendship or local considera- tions. He has Eren stirring things up chiefly in the purchasing department |’ and it is expected that there will be something doing there. The engineer- ing department is still another sup- posed to have attracted his attention and which may also look for some- thing to happen before very long if not right away. Circulating under cover are stories of certain contracts that have been questioned from the New York end and for which the explanations of- fered have not been accepted as satis- factory. On the other hand, the pas- senger, freight and legal departments are all said to be “in the clear.” George H. Loomis Is Confirmed as Revenue Collector A dispatch from Washington tells of the confirmation by the senate of | the nomination of George H. Loomis of Fremont for internal revenue col- lector for the district of Nebraska. The appointment had hung fire in the senate finance committee for several months. { The nimination of M, C. Warring- ton as register of the land office at Broken Bow was also confirmed by the senate, as was the nomination of l)nhn P. Golden as register of the and office at O'Neill, The fight of Will E. Estill of Walthill for the right to a cam(inr and transportation concession in Yel- lowstone was won. He charged that another company had been giv.a a monopoly of the tourist business in the park.

Wild Beasts of the THE BEE OMAHA, SATURDAY, MA Jungle Pass Through the Streets in Open Cages The circus parade was three hours late because the Al. G. Barnes big four-ring circus was delayed in ar-| riving in the city, But it certainly was worth waiting for Never, perhaps, have so many wild beasts of the jungle been seen in open cages in a parade in Omaha. Not a single one of the big cages was closed. There were the blood- thirsty lions, tigers, panthers, leop- ards walking about swishing their tails. And their trainers sat right in the cages with them. Some were men trainers and some were lady train- ers, And up on top of the cages were bands and things—about a dozen bands, including the clown band with Happy Hooligan standing proudly, all covered with medals, leading them, and flirting with the girls at the same time. On top of one cage was Australian Al, king of the boomerang and bull whip. He wcre a red shirt, blue pants and sombrero and carried a couple of AUTOS T0 BE AUCTIONED OFF Dowd Company Will Conduct One of Largest Sales of Kind Ever Held Here, OVER FIFTY CARS IN THE LIST One of the largest auction sales of used automobiles ever held in this section of the country will be con- ducted by the Dowd Auction com- pany at the market place, Eleventh and Jackson streets, this after- noon, The auction will start at 1 o'clock.

Some of the best used car bargains ever offered Omaha will be included in the sale.

Another respect in which the parade was “different” was in the use of motor rtucks. There were four of these machines, great big ones. The ostriches rode in one of them. The monkeys were “putting on airs” be- | cause they rode in another The polar bears, a number of very fine specimens, rode in a cage drawn by ten ponies—and declared the weather in Omaha is less to their lik-| ing than at the North pole $Thcn there were some llamas, who traveled afoot, each led by an Oma- ha small boy.

Funk, wealthy. Blnnming-i ton, 111, landowner, who was recently made defendant in a divorce suit filed here by Mrs. Louise Metz-Funk, has filed his answer, which consists of a separation decree granted in McLean county, Il1,, in 1914, He asks that the new action be dis- missed because her complaint of cruelty has already been adjudicated and equitable settlement made. When the decree of separation was granted at Bloomington two years ago, Mrs. Funk was given custody of the three children and alimony of $1,000. She was also granted $125 a month for two years, $175 a month for the next two years, $250 a month for the next four years, $150 a month for the next five years and $75 a month for the next two years, after which all payments were finished. PROF. ALEXANDER TALKS AT THE COMMERCIAL CLUB Prof. H., B- Alexander of the Uni- versity of Nebraska spoke at the Commercial club at the noon lunch- | eon, telling the Omaha men about the Gate City Pageant to be held in Lin- coln June 5 and 6. He went into the subject with some detail and ex- plained the scope of the activities planned.

A few of the.strikers are now puz- |zled as to what to do in cases in which they may on an individual job be able to get the scale of wages the strikers are demanding. One or two young men appeared at the Labor Temple for instructions as to what to do in the case in which they said they had an opportunity to work for |the School board at the scale of | wages the men are demanding. They wondered whether it would be all right to go to work without official yards laborers about recognition of the union being granted. The - contractors of the Omaha Builders’ exchange have held several meetings, presumably to discuss the strike situation, but they are close- mouthed as to what the discussions result in and what they aie contem plating. Unnofficially it is said many of the contractors are in favor of letting the half finished jobs of building stand idle throughout the summer, rather than to recognize the building labor- ers’ union, The strikers, however, have al ready taken hlr!)s to fortify them- selves against a long drawn out con- troversy by making assessments on other union men to support the strike, YOUNG GIRL RELEASED ON PROMISE TO KEEP GOOD Helen Goodrich, aged 20 years, of Council Bluffs was arrested by Spe- cial Officer L. T. Finn for theft of merchandise taken from the Brandeis stores. The girl asserted that she sup ported her invalid mother and crip- pled sister on a salary of $6 a week and was tempted to steal the pretty clothes she could not afford. An older woman, Dot Kline, who jis al- | leged to have persuaded the gitl into the act, was 4lso arrested and is being held. Helen was released on her promise to keep straight in the fu- ture Breathing Comes Tasier After a few dowes ot ‘Dr. Bell's Pine Tar Honey, infammation = 1s arrestsd, you cough less and breathe easier.
