Young Man IL Ousted from
Her Property.

Judge Kennedy yesterday issued decree
in favor Of Mrs. Dorothea Rau, ousting her
son. julius Rau. from the property at 1912
Vinton street owned by her. The suit
brought by Mrs. Rau is alleged to be the
result OF a family quarrel and the son as
serts is due to his getting married without
his mothers approval.
Mrs. Rau and her son have been living at
1912 Vinton street for number OF years,
the son running a grocery store and the
mother living in rooms above the store.
After the trouble she brought suit in dis
trict court to compel her son TO move out
of the store building and a cottage I'm the
rear occupied by him and his wife. The son
asserted in his answer that they had both
put their money into the property without
keeping strict account of it, with the under
standing It was all to go to him at tho
death Of his mother. He asked the court
to find his mother held the property In
trust for him and subject to the alleged
contract that It was to go TO him at her
death
Judge Kennedy In the decree finds gen.
orally for Mrs. Rau and that II there was
any contract the son is precluded by his
conduct toward his mother from claiming
any rights in equity from IT.

BOY UNABLE TO LOCATE HOME
Parents Move While He Is Out Selling
Papers and Fail to Leave
New Address.

Oliver Shelter a 10-year-old newsboy,
who thought he still lived with his parents
and two other brothers at 5O2 South Thir-
teenth street found himself in the sad and
peculiar predicament of not being able to
locate the parental roof last night. The
little fellow left home in the morning to
sell papers, but when he returned home
he found the rest Of the family had moved
away. but where he had no idea. He
knew there had been talk of moving, II n
new location could be secured, and in case
Il were done the paper merchant was to
meet his parents at Twelfth and FarnanI
streets AT 1 p m. He presented himself at
the appointed corner on time and waited
nearly all afternoon. but no parent showed
up. lie then went to the old number, but
no sign Of familiar faces were there.
The family had only come to Omaha a
week ago from Oregon and Oliver was at
a loss what to do as darkness came on and
he became hungry. A happy thought
struck him and soon sad faced, homesick
boy with a tear-stained face appeared at
the police station. Between sobs Captain
Mostyn was told the story and the young
.ster was made 10 feel as much at home as
possible until an officer could be sent out
with him to search for the lost family.
While waiting there was telephone call
and a womans voice asked anxiously il q
little boy named Shelter had been seen.
II was the mother and she was soon at the
station, accompanied by the family dog,
both of whom greeted Oliver as though he
had been absent for many weeks, while he
hid his face In his mothers dress. showing
by his actions and complete silence the
Infinite relief her appearance had brought.

Some Men He Has Trained.

"The father Of the general passenger
agents." is term often applied to Mr.
Mccormick, for 1t is said that more men
now general passenger agents have served
under him than under anybody else in the
business Here are only a few of those
he has schooled:
Warren ]. Lynch, passenger trafic man
ager of the New York Central lines, was,
formerly Mr.. McCormck's stenographer on
the Big Four. And now when Mr., Lynch
wants advice he usually drifts over to see
Mac"
II. ]. Rhein, general passenger agent of
the Big Four, worked for Mccormick as
general eastern agent of the Cincinnati,
Hamilton & Dayton and Big Four.
w. H. Fisher, general passenger agent Of
the Hooking Valley, worked for Mccormick
as general agent for the Cincinnati, Ham
ilton & Dayton in indianapolis.
c. L. Stone, general passenger agent of
the Louisville & Nashville, was McCor-
mick's chief clerk when the latter was
general passenger agent Of the Cincinnati
Hamilton & Dayton in Cincinnati.
w B. Galloway, general passenger agent
of the Cincinnati & Dayton. was a clerk
for Mccormick on the Big Four
F. ]. Reed, general passenger agent Of
the Monon, before he went to railroading,
owned several newspaper routes In La
Fayette Ind, and Mccormick carried
papers on one of these routes. Reed after
wards worked for Mccormick on the
Monon.
F. Z. Batturs, general passenger agent
of the Southern Pacific in New Orleans,
has been schooled by Mccormick.

MCCORMICK ONCE NEWSBOY
Father Of General Passenger Agents" Has
Remarkable Career Back Of Him.
HEAD OF HIS LINE OF RAlROAONG
A. Director of Passenger Service for
Hartman Lines He Is Highest
salaried OmciaI in that
Department.

Father of general passenger agents" as
he is known I'm the railroad world. T. O.
Mccormick has n career as interesting as
generally will be found outside the story
book or of the stage. Standing today upon
the pinnacle I'm his business-the highest
salaried general passenger official in the
country, head OF the passenger department
of the greatest transcontinental railways,
is this man, who thirty years ago. approxi-
mately, was a ragged newsboy on the
streets of lafayette Ind, working then
for a man, who reversed by a turn of the
wheel of fortune, later became a subordi-
nate to Mr. Mccormick in the railroad
business. From newsboy then, to assistant
traffic director of the Hartman system,
which places him in charge of the pas
senger business, is the gamut Mr.. McCor-
mick has run.
A study Of this mans career is an object
lesson for the youth Of the country. Like
a well oiled human dynamo, his capacity
for work is marvellous. Without sponsors
or pull he has conquered field after field
until there are no more fields TO conquer.
He has reached the highest passenger Office
in the country receives the largest salary,
and If you spend an hour with him you
will agree he earns every dollar Mr.. Harri-
man pays him.

Per.onaIitr D. the srnrnet.

Like his superior, ]. c. Stubs, McCor-
mick is many sided. He has a working
knowledge of politics, society, newspapers
and other important lines, and he has
served in nearly every department of rail-
road work. But 1t is the mans personality
that appeals to one. He is not an actor
but a real man. He is the same Mccormick
today as yesterday. Notwithstanding his
whirlwind duties, he always has time to
see friend, and he never forgets one. He
has faculty of getting more to one and
more out of one in a five minutes walk
down one of Chicago's busy streets than
most men could in an hours confab in a
quiet Office
Mr.. Mccormick declined to write an arti-
Gle on how to succeed in the passenger
department because he says he does not
believe in departments. His idea is that q
young man should know almost as much
about running train as he does about
making a rate, and that in entering the
service he should keep that in mind. And
he practices what he breaches, for though
nominally in charge of passenger affairs
he attends as many freight meetings as he
does conferences dealing with tickets and
coaches. Mr.. Mccormick was graduated
from high school about thirty years ago
and soon after became a clerk Tor the Lake
Erie & Western road. Going over to the
Monon he worked up to the general passen-
ger agency, then was general passenger
agent of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Day.
