John Demourgos, a Greek laborer' has
returned to South Omaha and the assump-

any attempt to beat him up.
He inadvertently disclosed Friday morn

deadliest dirks imaginable.
Demourges is not used to riding on street
cars and when the South Omaha car on
the platform of which he stood swung
around a bend he lost his balance and fell.
The knife fell out OF his pocket. 1t looked
at first glance like an overgrown s~tiletto,
but turned out to be an improved version
Of q butcher knife nearly twelve inches
long and pared down to a wire point. with
both sides sharpened to a razor edge.
Demourgos grabbed at the weapon and
then stood glazing around as II to defy
anyone to take 1t from him. No one

BERLIN. Feb, 26.-rhe internal political
situation in Germany has approaching a
serious crisis over the proposed revenue
measures, and unless the ministry is sue
cessful in its stand in the matter of the
death duties it is declared in political circles
that the Reichstag will be dissolved. Fur
thermore, should new elections result In
an adverse majority, Chancellor Won Buelow
will have to retire.
The conservatives and the clericals for
some time past have been exerting the ut
most pressure on the government to compel
1t to abandon these death duties, to which
the great land owners OF the country are
stoutly opposed. When the tax committee
assembled these two parties presented a
compromise in which they substituted for
the death duties heavily increased con-

POSTAL SAVINGS
 BANKS DISCUSSED

Washington, January 14-During a brief consideration of the postal savings bank bill in the Senate today, Senator Carter offered a substitute for the section relating td the payment of interest on deposits. The new section provides for the payment once each year of per cent on deposits of not less than $1 nor more than $500, and accumulated interest. Sem ator Fulton urged Mir. Carter to permit the bill to go over in order that the om- nibus claims bill might be taken up. He ventured the belief that all Senators realized that there could be no vote on the measure at the present session.
 'All Senators do not realize that" re- piled MT. Carter.
 If what the Senator from Oregon sug- gests is true" interjected MT. Hopkins, "I hope the bill will be pressed in season and out of season. It is a bill in the in- terest of the people, and is favored by the President, by the President-elect and by the Postmaster General and should pass"
 Mir Carter said that after Senators had had an opportunity to speak, he would ask that day be fixed for vote. The bill was then laid aside.

 TO BE REALIZED

The "Divine Comedy of Dante, which is the subject of study for the year with the teachers of the city schools, has proven of much interest not only to the corps of teachers but to many members of the literary clubs and others of the city.
 The teachers hold their next regular bi-monthly meeting in the High school auditorium tomorrow morning at o'clock, at which time c. A. Brown of the High school will discuss the Meaning of the Inferno"
 The fact that Edward Howard Griggs, in fthe series of lectures he is to give here in the spring, will have Dante as his theme lends additional interest to the sub ject in the mind of the public generally.
 Quite a number have become regular attendants upon these meetings, to which all are welcomed and invited.
