s JAPAN AND RUSSIA PROTEST GONCESSION Chinese Railroad and Canal to Be Built by Americans May Be Tied Up. JAPANESE CLAIM RIGHTS Peking, Oct. 14.—Japan and Russia entered protests today against conces- | sions for railway and canal construc- | tion in China which have been granted to Americans. Prince Nicholas Koudacheff, Russian minister to China, lodged a protest at the Chinese foreign office against the proposed American rail- road from Feng-Cheng, Shansi prov- ince, to Lanchow-Fu in Kansu prov- ince, alleging that the Chinese min- ister in Petrograd promised verbally eighteen years ago that Russia should | have the privilege of building railways in the vicinity of Mongolia. The disputed line is to run f?r a| distance of approximately 400 nfiles. The agreement entered into between the Siems-Carey company of St. Paul with the Chinese government em- powers the American company to con- struct equal mileage elsewhere if the protest holds. Baron Gonsuke Hayashi, the Japa- nese minister to China, today, pro- tested to the Chinese foreign office against this government's agreement with American contractors for the re- construction of 200 miles of the grand canal in Shantung province. The | Japanese claim by reason of their ¢on- quest~of Shantung all the rights here- tofore held by Germany in the de- ~elopment of the country. Files Suit for Damages Because of His Arrest John Zees, Sixteenth and: Cass streets, has filed suit with the clerk of the district court asking $10,000 damages for alleged false arrest. George Pinduro is named as the de- fendant. | Zees charges that Pinduro, seeking to injure him in business, caused hjs arrest for “obstructing the sidewalk.” The. former further alleges that by reason of the testimony of Pinduro he was confined in the city jail and made to pay a fine. the | | “Persistency and industry shall be rewarded” is the life motto of Eu- gene Simmons, sophomore at the Uni- versity of Omaha, who has struggled through life ever since he was knee- high to a grasshopper. He is making the principle work, for in addition to | other accomplishments, he has been | appointed assistant chemist by Prof. Leland Lewis, an honor that is not often bestowed upon an undergrad- uate. The young man's life path has been strewn with trouble and tribu- lation. When he was but ten years of age his mother and four children were left practically helpless, Most boys would have abandoned al!l hopes of a university education, but Eu- ene had already developed a love or higher learning, and so then and their decided to earn an education for himself. He started his educational career in Worcester, Mass., where he sold the Chicago papers, the Saturday | Evening Post and the Ladies.Home Journal for a living. In 1907 he came to Omaha and completed the grammar school, attending the Central, Wind- sor and Columbia public schoels. While he went through the Omaha scnools he cadied at the Field club and worked for the Omaha Transfer company. The latter job demanded that he work on Sundays and holi- days, at all times of night, under any kind of weather, but he never for- got his motto even though he froze |an ear now and then, but he always carried his smile. In 1910 he entered the Central High | school, and it was while he attended there that he became prominent in scholastic activities. Miss Atkinson never had a better American history student, and she made Eugene her agsistant. Other teachers such as Miss Paxson, Miss Rooney and Miss Kate McHugh, always depended on him to lead the classes. Eugene made good in the military department. Although he could not attend every drill on account of work, yet he earned himself a captaincy by making every drill count. His com- pany.

He played the part of Goble in the senior play of 1915, “Richard Carvel,” and was classed among the best. Last year he took part in “The Maneu- vers of Jane” at the University of Omaha. In addition to his duties as student and assistant, he is out for foot ball and coach De Lamatre has already picked him out for a half.

OMAHA WIDOW SUES When Destitute and Then Asks Pay. OMAHA LAWYER IN CASE When you take a boy into your ’ i home and treat him ‘as you would your own child, are you legally liable if you don't pay wages to him? Mrs. Mattie Manka of Omaha is suing Thomas Gallagher of Clarion, Ia., for failure to pay her son, Léslie, a minor, who has stayed with the Gal- lagher family since December 11, 1913, The case will come up in Wright county's district court Wednesday Attorney D.

It is a Demount- able Top, light and solid, finished like the Mitchell Todfing Car. All windows and posts are re- movable, leaving the sides clean and clear, similar to the Spring- field type Sedan. And a set of cur- tains are furnished for quick use. The top is made of Agasote, cast, with no seams at the curves, so it cannot leak. It doesn’t rattle, it doesn’t over- ! lap. It doesn't look like an added i body. And it doesn’t mar the Touring Car. It has a dome light like our Limousine, It has windows which drop,like our Touring Sedan. Ithas curtainson side and rear windows, and the upholstering is in gray. So our Touring Car, when this top is used, becomes a luxurious closed car,and any owner of a Mid- Season Mitchell can become the owner of a closed car by purchas- ing this top—and it costs but $300. An Exhibition Model This is one of the five luxury models designed for next year's Shows, Eachisdesignedto bring to the Mitchellnewprestigeandclass. Before designing these bodies we had experts and artistsexamine 257 new cars. These included all the finest enclosed cars built.in Europe and America. So ourdesignersstarted with the best that had been evolved. And Phone Douglas 138 - they have spent months in adding to them attractions of our own. Thus you will find that this De- mountable Top excels anything you've seen. And that every Mitchellenclosed design embodies dozens of features found in no other single car. Year-Round Models Now Demanded The demand is tending toward year-round models. The demand today is perhaps 20 times greater than a year ago. And it is grow- ing fast, People want open cars in sum- mer. But they must have a closed car to be comfortable in winter. The tendency now is to have one car that serves for all weathers and seasons. This Demountable Top solves theproblem in an elegant, econom- ical way.

Racine Distributors Omaha, Nebraska | New Winter Top—$300 Changes Mitchell Touring Car to a Luxurious Sedan We want to show you a new idea in a demountable top. A top designed under John W. Bate, the famous efficiency expert. Not a patched-on top, like some you’ve séen. But a top which gives you an ideal winter-summer car. another. Come and make com- parisons. Get True Efficiency The Mitchell car, in its bodies and chassis, appeals to efficiency lovers. It is entirely the product of John W, Bate, the famous effi- ciency expert. It comes from a factory which he built and equipped. And where factory costs have been cut in two. It offers you 20 per cent extra value, due to these factory savings, This Bate-built Mitchell is the final result of over 700 improve- ments. Every part is given at least 50 per cent over-strength. In A40 parts we use a toughened steel, And we use a wealth of Chrome- Vanadium steel, The result is a lifetime car. A car with 26 features which other cars omit. A car which offers far fil;eater value than any other igh-grade car. Now these same efficiencymeth- ods are applied to luxury bodies. The result will give you new con- ceptions of smart, dainty cars, But the output this fall is very small — only enclosed cars. This is due to the over-demand for Mitchell open cars, you who get these new Mitchell bodies will need to decide at once. Please come and see them now. MITCHELL MOTORS COMPANY, Inc, Racii», Wis,, U.
