Owner Is Missing Whether the owner of the machine was ashamed to report its loss, or whether he was glad to get rid of it, is the baffling problem the Omaha police face in trying to locate the owner of a car which was found yes- terday in a cornfield near Florence. The machine was abandoned ten days ago, according to B, C. Loner- ( gan, who found it, and after watching over it for several days, he hauled it under the shelter of his barn. Yester- day he told the police. The machine has the Nebraska license number 2291 painted on it. “I was afraid to leave it in the corn- field,” said Lonergan, “for fear others might be encouraged’to abandon their cars there.” There has been no complaint made about the disappearance of the car, police said, after looking thrcugh the records.

Just the Thing for Diarrhoea. “About two years ago I had a se- vere attack of diarrhoea which lasted over a week,” writes W. C. Jones, Buford, N. D. “I became so weak that I ¢ not stand upright.

The first dose relieved me and + within two days I was as well as Ever.” Many druggists recommend FOR TUNNEL PLAN Details Submitted to Commis- sioners Monday and Rea- sons in Support Stated. COST ESTIMATED LESS The proposed subway under the Missouri river will cost $912,000. The estimated cost of the proposed bridge is $1,500,000. Condemnation cost of the tunnel would be greatly lessened because Jones street, the only street running to the river, has never been vacated. City records prove this fact. A double-bore tunnel would accom- modate 30 per cent more traffic than could be handled by the bridge and would greatly facilitate the handling of traffic. Also it would insure greater this remedy because they know that it is reliable. Obtainable everywhere. —Advertisement. safety to pedestrians, The depreciation of the tunnel would be almost nothing. Its cost of upkeep would be met by the income from the sale of space for telephone, t!legragh and light cables, pipes and so forth, Faith in His Figures. These facts are set forth by A. J. P, Bertschy, “daddy” of the tunnel, in a letter to Commissioner Manley of the Commercial club. “To those who doubt that the sub- way can be built for less than $1,000,- 000, I answer that I myself will ac- cept the contract for its construction for $912,000 and organize a company to_build it.” The underyater route from Towa to Nebraska has aroused much comment. Mr. Bertschy’s confidence in the feasi- bility of his scheme has appealed to hundreds of Omahans. en have offered to subscribe to a fund to build it. He has been deluged with phone calls and letters commending and cen- suring the plan, Clippings from The Bee, the paper which first announced the news, come to him in every mail. “Just because bridges, not tunnels, have always been built is a poor argu- ment for Omaha’s building bridges,” is the pert introduction of the Bertschy-Manley letter. Outlines Financial Plan. For financing the project Mr. Bertschy proposes a bond issue, and argues: “The street railway company, in its | talk No. 2, stated that a bridge such as Omaha would require would cost $1,500,000. A tunnel such as would accommodate a greatey amount of traffic, and be a more up-to-date struc- ture, would cost less than $1,000,000. The Interest on this at 4}4 per cent er annum would amount to $45,000. he annual general depreciation of a tunnel would be nothing. A sinking fund to retire the bonds for building a tunnel within twenty years, and why twen% years, would amount to $50,- 000. The care and upkeep of the tun- nel would be paid for in the income from the sale of space for telephone, tcle%raph, light, etc., cables and pipes, so that at most the adjoining counties to a free tunnel would only have a charge of $100,000 per year to take care of with twenty-year bonds, and if these bonds ran fifty years instead of twenty, and as the tunnel will be good for future generations, there is no valid reason why they should not, the annual cost would be at most $75,- 000, against $187,000, as stated by the street railway company, for a bridge. “The property” valuation of Potta- wattamie county, Iowa, is $74,811,748 and the assessed valuation is $18,- 702,937. “The property valuation of Douglas county, Nebraska, is $257,572,225 and the assessed valuation 1s $51,514,445. “If the annual taxes were increased 375,000, it would amount to less than 1 for each 160 acres. Will Lessen Burden. “It will be readily seen that this would not be a greater burden on the citizens than tolls paid on the present bridge. The toll collected from vehicles and foot passengers only will amount to nearly $70,000 per year, not including the extra fare of 5 cents paid by passengers who do not hold the monthly commutation tickets, “I 'submit plans for two types of construction, one for vehicle and foot traffic and one for vehicle, foot and railway traffic. The latter is preferred because it will give an entrance to Omaha for interurban railway lines and make possible an income for use of railway subway. Even if no reve- nue were charged for such use of sub- way, the taxpayers would at least have some tangible assets to offset the $75,- 000 annually expended, while at pres- ent they receive nothing.” Mrs. E. V. Parrish Asks Big Damages for Broken Ankle Mattie L. Parrish, wife. of E, V. Parrish, manager of the publicity bureau of the Commercial club, filed suit with the clerk of the district vourt against John W. Welsh, pro- prietor of a string of restaurants, fo- $10,250 damages. It is alleged that Mrs. Parrish suf- izred ~efmanent injuries when sh: slipped and fell in a restaurant at 1408 Farmam street on June 30, 1915. On account of the discomfort the injurie ., lhave caused, the plaintiff states, she is unable to wear low shoes or slippers.

FACE AND ARMS TORN Desperately. offering herself to the attack of a vicious bulldog, which clawed and bit her terribly, Mrs. Inez Haney, wife of an employe of the Waterloo creamery, living at 6000 Sherman avenue, fought with bare hands for nearly half an hour yester- day afternoon to save the life of Ver- non, her 8-year-old son, whom the ferocious animal had first attacked. She succeeded finally in choking the beast into submission and chasing it from her. Then she fainted. Police Surgeon Meyers found her, with her hands and face torn and shredded, in,a pitiful condition. Lit- tle Vernon was in critical shape, too, as the result of the dog's fierce ate tack, and had it not been for his mother’s heroic interference he would have literally been torn to pieces, Screams for Help. The dog is a big English bull, and had been kept chained in'a coal shed on account of his ferocity. The Haney home is nearly a hundred yards in any direction from the near- est neighbor. When little Vernon went out into the shed the dog leaped on him, knocking him down, The boy screamed for help, and fought with all his puny strength, but the animal, was too strong and bit and tore at will, ] Mrs. Haney heard the screams of her child and ran to his rescue. The dog had slipped out of his collar and growling and biting the boy when she came up. There was hot a weapon handy, so she met the attack of the beast with her bare arms, and at the same time giving the boy a chance to run into the house. She screamed repeatedly for help, but her cries were unheard, and for nearly half an hour she battled in desperation for her own life, which she had risked for her loved one. Weighs Under Ninety. Mrs. Haney is a "little woman, weighing less than ninety pounds and the big dog was more than a match for her strength, but she finally tired him out and got away from him. Dr. Meyers pronounced her in critis cal shape, and said that the boy, too, would have a hard time before re- covering from the frightful experi- ence. Both are at their home under care of physicians, An effort of police and neighbors to find the dog proved fruitless, though the hunt, continued for a long while. Police have orders to shoot it on sight. It is a massive mottled white beast, weighing about forty pounds. Miss Nell' Welsh Weds Otto Gramlich at St. Louis Otto G. Gramlich and Miss Nell Welsh were married at* St. Louis Thursday. The ceremony was sol- emnized by the Rev.

The meeting was especially notable fof the agreement on the new sched- ule of prices, which, it is estimated, will mean about $200,000 additional each year in the receipts of the trade.

TALKS OF STATE'S BIRDS are a most Un edaBf“'ug'ilj‘fl.'9 atmbals for the: In the wilds of New York City, it is rumored, there are still individuals ! who think of Omaha as a trading post, and that Indians instead of ticket scalpers are operating in the down- town district. Among the many visit ors who attended the first winter meeting of the Nebraska Audubon so- ciety, held in the public library last evening, there was more than one who at the start considered that the birds of western Nebraska consisted mainly of the game specie and that the prairie land knew little of the songsters. It was the beginning of the Audu- bons’, proposed educational campaign and Dr. Robert Walcott of the state university at Lincoln was the speaker of the evening. Dr. Walcott's sub- ject was one with which h¢ probably 1s more familiar than anv other bird student in this locality, “The Birds of Western Nebraska.” Those who thought the western })omon of our state was scarce in the eathered optimists know different now. A summer spent in adding new material to his store of knowledge on the subject and'a collection of splen- did stereopticon slides made Dr. Wal- cott’s address most interesting and in- structive, He covered the ground thoroughly, enumerating the different birds, their habits and the particular locations in which they built their nests, and told how best to search for and find them, It was a splendid beginning for the Audubons and Dr. Walcott was greet- ed by a large, attentive and interested audience. : Dr, Walcott strongly advocated the establishment, of preserves for game birds, particularly of the web-foated variety, so that they might be unmo- lested in the breeding season. He stated positively that the number of game birds that breed in this state 4s on the increase, owing to the decrease of available grounds in neighboring states, The Nebraska Audubon society took up the question and will strive to se- cure the preserves, Two hundred suet boxes will be purchased by the society to be placed throughout the parks for the birds to feed from during the winter. The cost of the various materials used in the manufacture of telephone equipment has more than doubled the last 20 months, due to the European demand for war ma- terials and the curtailment of foreign }lll ports.
