BALKING DONKEY BRAYS 1 King Lear complained of monsters of ingratitude, but local democrats have a new monster of ingratitude in their new governor-elect, Keith Ne- ville. Arthur Mullen, national com- mitteeman from Nebraska and erst- while boss of the donkey party, can- not boss him. James C. Dahlman even admitted to some friends, “We are not getting the appaintments just as we wanted them from this governor. He is an independent cuss.” . ’ Louis Piatti is shaking his head in despair, along with the rest, for in spite of the hard work the Omaha crowd did for their democratic candi- date and in spite of the big Douglas county majority they piled up for him he is cold and indifferent to their ap- peals on the matter of appointments. Neville Fails to Bow. Only recently the governor-elect was at the Paxton hotel, surrounded by Louis Piatti, James C. Dahlman and Boss Mullen. They occupied a cushioned seat in the corner of the lobby, but only three heads were to- gether. The Neville head was raised in a dignified manner and refused to bend into the knot of heads that sought to get together. Besides the governor-elect there are other democrats in the state who have decidéd that Arthur Mullen and his crowd shall not run the affairs of the legislature this winter.: d Howell, senator-elect from las coun ays, “Not by a darn is not going to runithe legislature or the Do“fl“ county del- egation. He might thing he is, but we'll fool him.”/ Senator Phil Kohl of Wayne, re- ‘cently in Omaha said: “We're not oing to have Arthur Mullen run the egislature this winter. We will tend to that. The good old common demo- crats are going to run it.” Senator John Mattes of Nebraska City was in the city also, looking a tioned, but saying little: it Mullen Still in the Ring. ‘* Meanwhile with the governor-elect balking a little in the Mullen har- ness, and members of the I:fiulature. both jin Omaha and gver the state, sho: some stubbornness, Mullen is still’ t{yinl to tell the Douglas coun- delegation what to do. At the ton hotel the heads get together frequently, and there Mullen tries to whip them into line for certain com- mittees in the legislature. It is said he hag cvery Douglas county dele- gate slated for a given committee in the hopuse and senate in his own mind. His problem is to make them stand for the harness he is trying to buckle on, them, Jerry Howard he plans to put on the fish and game committee.

WOULD TAKE OVER WIRES Washington, Dec: 9. — Postmaster General Burleson's annual report, is- sued today, déclares there was a post- office surplus of $5,200,000 during the present year and enumerates as among the year’s accomplishments improvement of the parcels post, ex- | tension of city and rural deliveries and development of the postal savings system. A surplus of $12,500,000 is shown, says the report, for three years of the four the administration has been in offiice and it calls aftention to defi- cits under previous administrations, The department makes many rec- ommendations for improvement of the service. Some of the most im- portant are these:¢ That early action be taken by con- gress declaring a government monop- oly over all utilities for the public transmission of intelligence and that as soon as possible the telephone and telegraph facilities of the United States be incorporated into the postal establishment. That $300,000 be appropriated now for acquiring telegraph and telephone utilities in Alaska, Porto Rico and Hawaii. 3 Would Raise Newspaper Rate. That second-class postal rates be re- vised to make second-class matter pay more of its share of transportation ex- pense and that the l-cent rate be ap- plied to all so-called drop letters. That public buildings erected for postoffice purposes be standardized and that their costs be commensurate with the needs of the service. That funds be expended in a num- ber of large cities for buildings not of ornamental design but designed to accommodate the postal service be- fore more money is spent in smaller towns where buildings are not needed and cannot be justified. That changes be made in the pres- ent building policy which imposes a fixed charge on the department that has grown burdensome. That the classified service be ex- tended to include the position of post- master at offices of the first, second and third classes. That the department be authorized to bond its employes so that the gov- ernment may be protected more ade- quately and that relief may be af- forded officials and employes of the service, That the pay of rural carriers be equalized by fixing salaries on the ba- sis of the number of pieces and weight of mail transported, length of routes and time required to serve them, in- stead of solely on length of routes, as at present. That $100,000 be appropriated for experiments in aerial transportation of mail. Standardize Salaries. That legislation be passed to enable the department to organize postoffices on a more business-like basis and to standardize the salaries of supervi- employes in an equitable manner. fels post will cur the city dweller, e Velocity into your system?

Lincoln, Dec. 9.—(Special.)—A hotel owner may not omit to do the things that are reasonably necessary for the safety and protection of the guests of the house, and if he disre- gards the provisions of the law con- cerning the establishment of fire es- capes upon the building and such other devices as the law provides for, he will be held liable for the damages sustained because of the death of any guest which may be brought about by his negligence. The case comes on an appeal from the district court of Douglas county wherein Willis Hoopes as administra- tor of the estate of Renfree H. Rick- ard brought an action against John D. Creighton to recover damages because of the alleged negligence of Creighton in maintaining a hotel in the city of Omaha, known as the Dewey, without fire escapes, a judgment being -ren- dered for the plaintiff in the sum of Because of such alleged absence of fire escapes Rickard lost his life in a fire which destroyed the hotel on Feb- ruary 28, 1913, and the court affirms the judgment of the lower court.
