KING Of GREECE
ASKED FOR AID
OMAHA GREEKS SAY THEY ARE
LAW-ABlDlNG - BIG MASS
MEETING HELD.

SOUTH OMAHA. Neb.. Feb. %
The Greek residents OF South Omaha,
whose quarter was raided by mob
of 5000 Sunday. have appealed to the
King OF Greece for aid. All the Greeks
who remain in the city attended the
big mass meeting at which the appeal
was framed While the riot was in
progress, kilograms were sent TO the
Greek ambassador in Washington. In
which he was told that the lives OF
hundreds OF Greeks were in danger
and was asked 10 call the matter TO
the attention OF President Roosevelt.
Before the answer was received a
cablegram was sent TO King George OF
Greece asking him to intercede for
his subjects in this city. No answer
has yet been received 10 this mes
sage.
The meeting came to dramatic
end when every Greek present raised
his hand and swore TO obey the laws
of the United States and Nebraska.
At this meeting the Greeks issued a
statement to the citizens saying they
were law-abiding and should not be
held responsible for the act of a
single Greek, whose murder of Police
man Lowerey Friday night brought
on the riot.

which .he. said that tuberculosis is the

Several or the leading members OF

displeasure OF the people by saying
that kissing is dangerous, said the
doctor. THAT statement Is wrong. for

danger is done away with.
Instead of being regarded as hope

committee of the Committee of 80
Monday afternoon. This calls for
about 40 miles OF new tracks. which
will cost from $4,000 to $4,000 per
mile for foundations. tracks, electri
cal equipments, cars. etc.
In making its map. the ID. u. K. has
not abandoned a single piece OF its
present trackage. asking only addi
tiona rights TO build new lines and
extension. In this respect IL differs
from the Vernon map, which was laid
out TO give the best arrangements
for tearing up many miles of the
present tracks.
Neither map quite suits Or. Car
stems, head OF the committee. and
after another meeting. Wednesday, at
which all sides will be heard. the
committee will prepare its own map
The particular points raised by Dr.
Carstens are that the Vernon plan OF
having cars cross Woodward-aVe. In
only direction at each crossing should
be retained, that the Mack and Myr-
tie lines should be joined as cross
town loop and that some of the
tracks between Gratiot and Jefferson
ayes. should be removed.
He also favors having the line
which both Vernon and the ID. U. X.
officials place on Horton and Lothrop-
ayes, placed ON Baltimore-ave., this
being made possible by opening n
short stretch OF Milwaukee-ave. from
Lincoln to Holdenaves Such a
change would give better service TO

route to Belle Isle and the factories

Among the changes proposed by

ORGANIC ESTRONGLY TO DOWN
MACHINE CANDIDATE FOR
SCHOOL iNsPEcToR-DR. ELLIS
LOOKS LIKE WINNER.

Things are shaping themselves for
what will probably be remembered a.
one of the merriest political battles In
the history OF the Sixteenth ward.
Never were the spring primaries
awaited with greater interest; never
has there been such active parucipa'
ton in political affairs by the women
of the ward All OF which means that
Bud" Shivers. the machine candi'
date for school inspector. who has
held the position for two terms. has
the fight OF his life on his hands.
Shivers' opponent for the Repub-
lican nomination is Dr. l.. f. Ellis. or
No 90S Military-ave., who served
eight years nthe board before Shiv-
ers' advent, and who made an excel
lent record. A canvass by The Times
shows that he has the active support
of the best element In the ward among
| his own party. including several
clergymen. and is Endorsed by not a
few Democrats who consCientiousiy
believe that OF the candidates in the
field the doctor is the best qualified
10 give the ward the representation II
is entitled to.
Friends OF Dr. Ellis, however, point
out significantly that some Of the IT.
nuential Democrats in the ward,
notably the Democratic aldermen, are
plugging hard for Shivers, In return
| II Is said. for Shivers' efforts in their
behalf last fall. 1t is related hat one
OF the aldermen recently toured the
ward with Shivers In an automobile
and distributed Shivers' cards with
lavish hand.
But in spite OF the efforts OF the
Democrats and the board OF education
crowd. DR.. Ellis friends are confident
OF victory II the loyal Republicans
will only get out to the polls on pri-
mary day. The Mothers club OF the
Sixteenth ward is factor 10 be reck-
oned with in the campaign. and II Is
doing some splendid work in the doc

have been formed in nearly every pre-

see TO IL that the women voters OF
the precinct who have given pledges

The pledge reads as follows:

DOUBLE TAX.

The law that taxes piece of property
and the note for the purchase money is
unjust. Under this law, il A buys a
piece OF property from B for 81 900 on a
credit, giving B his note, from that time
forward tax must be paid on both the
property and the note. A pays the tax
on the property and B pays the tax on
the note does not own the place
until he pays for it, and until he does
pay for it is only in control of it. That
is double tax-the property that paid
IS taxes before the purchase by A now
pays $40.
