MAY DROP EXCHANGE CHARGE
Omaha Clearing House Considering
Question of Exchange on
Country Checks.

The Omaha Clearing house in a short
time will be called upon to again pass upon
the question Of charging exchange upon
out-of-town checks. The question was O
mooted one for some time and was once
settled by the banks of the city deciding
to make a charge varying from 10 cents
on a minimum check to one-half of 1 per
cent on checks OF large value. At the
time the rule was adopted the wholesale
merchants of the city entered a strong
protest, which was disregarded, but later
the merchants came to look upon the mat
ter as one which would affect their business
but little. The matter comes up again in
the clearing house association solely upon
the motion of the banks interested and for
reasons given by a local banker, as follows:
THE rule is a good one IL 1t we're uni
versal. There is no Justice in expecting
a bank to maintain a collection department
and receive no return therefrom. When a
check on a country bank is deposited in an
Omaha bank the customer depositing the
check expects to receive credit for 1t inn
mediately. The check has to be turned
over to the collection department, entered
In a book and then sent to the country
bank for collection. At that bank 1t is
usually held for a day or two before it 10
paid, and the Omaha bank is out Of the
money for that time. 1t should receive
pay for this loss and trouble, and at this
time It does.
THE trouble with this system Is that the
banks at Kansas City and st. Joseph do
not enforce the rule and will not do Il.
The result is that in towns in competing
territory the Kansas City and st. Joseph
banks walk away with the business which
should come to Omaha. This was illus
tratad nv n lattaf rapaivad nv ma from a
country correspondent q few days ago. He
wrote, stating that Kansas City banks not
only charged no exchange, upon personal
checks collected for customers, but that
it charged nothing for collecting checks on
other banks sent in by correspondents and
added that as long as the present condi-
ton prevailed he would be obliged to keep
his surplus deposits at Kansas City rather
than at Omaha"

M'GIVERN WINS HIS CASE
Judge v~insonhaler Thinks William
sons Rental idea Somewhat
Fancy.

Judge V%insonhaler found for the plaintiff
in the suit Of James McGivern to recover
from Charles e. Williamson S162.79 for
labor. The court allowed judgment in full
and took occasion to further remark that
after personally visiting the premises for
which Williamson asked McGivern s35 rent
1t had concluded that SIS would be quite
reasonable.
Williamson is a rental agent and 1t was
told in the petition that he had given
McGivern a contract to do his painting and
papering only upon condition that he pay
$35 per month for a house Of Williamson's
at Seventeenth and Davenport streets.
There were other charges and also a counter
claim for sSs, but the judge held that all
he was to consider was the prayer Of the
plaintiff to recover for work done, and this
he granted.

WIFE BEATER GOES TO JAIL
James EEan Gets a Thirty Days Sem
tence for Abusing His
Family.

James Egsn, 1920 lizard street, was SEN
fenced to thirty days in Jail in police court
for beating his wife and abusing his family.
Mrs. Egan testified that her husband came
home Tuesday night while slightly under

at her and their eight children, punctuating
his remarks by throwing cups and dishes
on the floor and smashing the furniture.
He then started to whip one Of the chill
dren, and when the mother interfered he
knocked her down. BY this time several
neighbors who had been attracted by the
confusion came to the rescue of Mrs. Egan
and gave Egan a dose Of his own medicine,
including a pair of black eyes. He was
then held until the arrival Of an officer,
who locked him up.
Mrs. Egan said her husband had repeat
eddy whipped her and swore at the chill
dren during their seventeen years OF mar
ried life, even when he was sober. Egan
said the trouble began because his wife
failed to have his meals ready on time.

LITTLE WORK ON CITY PARKS
Commissioner Cornish Says Board Is
Hampered by Delay of
Tax Levy.

Park COMMISSIONS Cornish reports that
little work is being done in the way Of
improving city parks at present on ac-
count Of the absence of a tax levy. The
board is now employing only twenty-five
laborers, and the pay roll is but little
heavier than II was in mid winter.
1T is a matter of maintenance rather
than Improvement with us now" said he,
but We hope TO be able to do something
when the levy ordinance is passed. Mean
while We are digging up a good many trees
and 'heeling' them to prevent budding, SO
they can be transplanted later in the sea-
son. Most OF the men employed by the
board are at work in HanscOm park.
