Operator Morris More Anxious TO Save
Company Money Than HIS own.

Operator Morris More Anxious TO Save
Company Money Than His Own.
YORK. Neb, Jan. 2-(Special)-C. G.
Morris. the Burlington operator, finds that
he suffered more injuries from the attack
made on him by burglars than what he
first realized. He is suffering from injuries
I'm the back and side. This morning he
was able to give a better description of the
two men who tried to murder him for the
purpose Of securing funds of the Burlington
railroad. One is a tall man of heavy build
weighing about 18 pounds, and believed to
be a negro. The other is supposed to be
negro, but perhaps he may be a white
man. His hands were either black or very
dirty. Mr.. Morris states that he was I'M
aware Of the presence of the two burglars
/ until they commanded him to hold up his
hands and then looked into the revolver.
His first thought was, II must save the
companys money or my. bondsmen will
have to pay" and waited his opportunity,
which came when one of the burglars hold
ing the revolver on him looked around,
when he hit him with heavy coal shovel,
knocking him senseless. He struck at the
other one, hitting him and severing part
of the scalp, from which he bled pro-
| fusey.
Citizens here are loud in praises of the
bravery of Mr.. Morris and believe that
the Burlington company should reward
him by promoting him to one of the best
| Jobs on the road. Mr.. Morris lost 1923 80
and saved the company's cash. 1t is be-
!eved the company will present him with
| the amount OF money that he lost.
Burlington detectives are here and every
effort is being made to find the robbers.
1t is believed that they are unable to get
any distance from York and that they
are hiding either in York or at some
| farmers

PLAG|ARIST EXPELLED
California Humorist Ousted
From Association for
Borrowing Jokes.

Los Angeles, Cal, Sept. ZEE. A.
Brininstool, humorous writer on the
Evening Express of this city. after
being given a full hearing on the
charge Of plagiarizing extensively from
the works of other humorous news
paper writers, was expelled from mem
bership in the American Press Humor-
lists association in convention assembl-
ed here.
The vote was unanimous. Brinfn-
stool was absent from the city and Of
fered no defense except through Ar
thur ]. Burdick, who denied the truth
Of the complaint until member after
member of the association testified that
Brininstool had borrowed" from his
writings to the extent of entire sec
lions at q time.
Compelled to admit the truth Of the
charges, Burdick made a plea of leni-
ency for his friend. but when the bal
lot was counted II was found TO be
without dissenting vote. The charges
against Brininstool were preferred al
the annual convention one year ago

them hesitate about instructing their
representatives for any other candf-
date than Mr. Hearst
The scheme is TO be a replication OF
the one worked in New York state a
year ago. by which Mr.. Hearst was
made the democratic candidate for
governor. The fact that he was beaten
disastrously at the polls. while Lewis
S. Chandler. his running mate. was
elected lieutenant governor has not dis
couraged either Mr.. Hearst or his fol-
lowers.
Hope TO Coerce Democrats.
In New York last fall Mr.. Hearst
was first nominated by the Indepen-
dence league and then the democratic
party had the choice OF making him Its
candidate or having a divided party
with two candidates. each calling him
self a democrat in the field. The pres
ent idea is to give the democratic ma
tiona1 convention the same choice OF
two evils. The New York democrats
chose Hearst. The hope OF the indie
pendence league Is that the national
convention will do the same thing.

the mayor has found a short cut out OF
the difficulty by revoking the licenses
of saloons in connection with which
there has been a complaint of even a

Mayor Lyons IS being followed in 9TH

TIME CLOCK FOR CABBY
Ordinance Planned to Stop
Overcharging Works
in Other Cities.

Chicago, Sept. 22.-The credulous
Chicagoan who has been paying his
"cabby" double fare and dismissing
his cab with a complacent feeling of
having handled the incident diplo-
matically is to be informed how much
he really owes-if the city council can
be persuaded to see the advantage OF
this arrangement. The special sub
committee of the council committee on
licenses. which is now investigating
the subject of the taximeter, is about
ready to submit a taximeter ordinance
to the council for adoption.
In other cities, notably Paris, Ber-
lin. London. and New York. the taxi
meter has been adopted voluntarily by
cab owners and has been found to be
a booster" for the claimants trade.
Chicago owners. however, are not en-
thusiastic over the innovation. Presi-
and President Sloan of the iverymen' S
association are opposing the ordinance.
Cabmen's Objections Answered.
James Edgar Brown, who spent sew
eral weeks investigating the operation
says that information is all that is
Mr.. Gibbons told the subcommittee, -
said Mr.. Brown. that the cost OF a
taximeter to each cabman will be 500.
This is not the case. Dwight B.
Cheever. who has been investigating
the matter, says that the cost need
not, under any consideration, ex-
coed $40.
THE fear OF reduction In rates, of
course, doesn't apply at all, for the
matter of introducing fare registers
is entirely independent of the regula-
ton of rates.
To the average citizen who rides in
cabs, who. would If he weren't
afraid of matching his wits with a
sphinx like cabman, the taximeter is
thing of joy. The instrument is a
boxltke arrangement which registers
automatically the distance travelled
