IOWA LOSES At EAST OMAHA
Claim to Land Knocked Out by Judge
McPherson's Decision.
EFFECT WILL BE FAR-REACHING
Cloud 10 Title which Has Retarded
improvements at 'the Lake IL
Lifted and the Way is
Now Clear.

Judge Smith B. Mcpherson of Council
Bluffs has handed down a decision in the
East Omaha land case in the United States
circuit court which knocks out the claim
OF the state OF Iowa to title to the land
OF the East Omaha Land company about
sixty landholders and land claimed by the
Creighton and Redick estates.
The effect of this decision will be far
reaching, as far as Omaha is concerned, as
the cloud on the title to this land has kept
back many improvements In East Omaha.
James Wilson OF Chicago was in Omaha a
short time ago to arrange for the opening
OF CORTLAND Beach, but the question OF
title deferred him. Representatives Of the
Creighton estate wired him Saturday that
decision had been rendered clearing the
title ana he probably will nsturn to Omaha
and~begin work at once 20 put the beach
in order for summer business.
The land occepled by the Omaha Rod and
Gun club also has been in controversy and
now that decision has been reached that
club can make better improvements and
In fact may acquire some land of its own.
How the warriors Lined Up.
W. D. McHugh represented The Creighton
estate. AFbert Swartzlander and o. c. Red
lex the Redick estate, F. II. Gaines the
Detroit syndicate, which claimed l20 acres
north of the Union Pacific shops, and Cro-
foot & Scott represented the East Omaha
Land company. This company has spent
$4,000 in making improvements in East
Omaha. but the work came to standstll
some years ago when this suit was started.
Now that the matter is settled the company
is ready to pscceed with improvements.
The contestants were G. b. Hannah,
Jacob simms and George H Scott and they
succeeded in having a law enacted by the
Iowa state legislature claiming the title
TO the land ON the ground that It was an Is
land and giving the right to buy to the
first who applied. An offer was made Of
81 an acre by the people who had the bin

KINp-HEARTED MAN LOSES Gun
Fine scheme Put Up by Prisoners
works One Way, hut Fails
the Other.

Henry o'Connor has been sentenced to
ten days in jail because he has kind heart.
because no unselfishly sought to help
fellowman, because to friend in need he
proved a friend indeed. This may seem
paradoxical. but IT Il, true. And though 1t
is the truth, it affords no argument for
those reformers who declare the present
court and judicial system is wrong. II hap
pened this way:
Last Monday Henry was sentenced to
five days in jaii. At the same session of
police court one Pat C'Connor was SEN
fenced 10 thirty days in jail
Now. the O'Connors back In ireland were
a clan ever noted for the mutual help they
gave each other in trouble, And the two
descendants OF the clan above mentioned
had no sooner been sentenced than they
put their heads together to see in what
manner they might help each other and
foil the courts and jailers. their mutual
foes. They did this by the simple expedient
Of swapping names and personalities. Henry
became Pat and Pat became Henry And
when the time of Henry was up Pat went
forth free man. The real Henry lay low
until Pat had time 20 make his get away"
and then he arose in righteous wrath and
demanded to know why he was being de-
tained in jail beyond the five days to which
he had been sentenced. They said he had
been sentenced to thirty days But he
pointed out that his name was Henry
O'connor and not Pat o'Connor and that
he had served his time. And he demanded
his rights,
So they turned the astute Henry loose
but before he had gone q block an officer
who followed from the jail had him in Gus
today again. He was charged with va
graney and in police court was sentenced
to ten days
And all because I'm too kind-hearted,

to the south or east OF this so-called island,
except in times OF high water, when .oc--
casionally scme large logs would be RATED
through or fisherman pass through in
skiffs and small boats to shorten their
route. And the holding OF the court is.
that the state has never had any claim
TO the location In question OF any so-called
Island; and OF course IL there was no
island, there could be no accretions 10 the
north that would pass to the state, And
this court further holds that any proprle-
tory right the state ever held, II II had
such right, has been lost by acquiescence
for a quarter of century. and Il would
be a great wrong to take these lands from
plaintiffs. most OF whom bought and paid
for them, and take them against their
will and without compensation.

The Arnenians.

The history Of Armenia is not cheer
full reading. With the exception Of oc-
casional brief periods. the Armenians
have been almost continually under
some foreign rule. Assyrians, Babylo-
mans, Medes, Persians, Macedonians,
Romans, Parthians, Saracens, Mongols
and Turks have each In turn dominated
the country, and Of all these successive
foreign yokes the present one, that Of
the Turks, has been the longest and
the heaviest. The highest activities Of
the Armenian people today are not to
be found in Armenia proper, but rather
in the marts Of prominent cities the
world over. This is especially notice
able in Constantinople, Smyrna and
other cities of the Levant, where the
marked aptitude Of the Armenian in
business enables him practically to
dominate the commercial situation.
One example is the oriental rug trade,
which is practically controlled by Ar
menians not only in the east itself, hut
also in many western countries. Ago.

Handwritinu..

As rule, clear handwriting is moro.
common with persons who do not write
for living than with those who do.
Authors. for >exan nple, are creating
something when they write; their mind
is concentrated on this creative work;
their thoughts are generally ahead Of
their hand, sometimes a whole SEN
tence, and they hurry to keep pace
with them. The result IS bad hand
writing, but handwriting With individ-
.uality in it, IL not character. There is
a theory that plain writing is most
easily forged. This is not true. OBJ
scure signatures are most easily. forged
and the so called freak signatures.
which nobody can read, easiest Of all.
The best signature and the safest for
a man who signs checks Is neither too
prim nor too involved; just plain, ev-.
eryday writing, done in the easiest
way, according to his temperament.
Such g signature expresses as much
character as any handwriting can. bat
It doesn't tell us a thing about the
mans moral makeup; not q thing.
