OMAHANS SUDDENLY RICH
Unexpected Wealth Falls to Three
Local Persons.
BRIDGE MAN LEAVES FORTUNE
News Comes that Charles HedberE'
Bridge Carpenter, who Was
Thought Poor, Died In Fall
Heirs Get 100000.

Eour Nebraskans. three OF them Omaha
residents. are heirs to $4,000 apiece
through the discovery Of the death OF an
uncle in New York City. The lucky -FOUR
are Mrs. Jennie Smith, 1898 North Thirty
sixth avenue; Mrs Carrie Perry, 22Ol Cass
street: Charles Hedberg 26Gl Brown street
and John p. Hedberg Of the town of Pax
ton. A fifth co-heir is Rev. " L. He'd
berg of Minneapolis.
These five are nephews and nieces OF
Charles Hedberg New York bridge car
penter, who met his death by falling from
bridge at Yonkers. 1t was supposed by
his fellow workmen that Hedberg lett noth-
ing but a reputation for making speeches
on slight provocauon, but his effects re-
vealed title deeds to a great deal Of real
estate. worth. at a conservative estimate,
$4,000
The property includes a large farm near
Lakeland in Florida, four building lots in
Elmsbord. Westchester county, New York,
and extensive tracts of school land in
Texas. Besides this. according to the New
York sun, he had great deal of money
i'm the bank.
Hedberg came as an orphan to this coun-
try and had little communication with his
relatives. who knew. nevertheless. that ne
vas in America. That he left so much
property was as much a surprise to them
as to anyone else Hedberg lived quite
simply-almost misery, in fact-and aside
from his propensity to make speeches
which gained him the titlelof The Orator
was in no wise distinguished from fellow
bridge workers.
The fall which killed him was only
twenty-five feet. but he fractured three
ribs in the region of the heart and broke
leg so badly that it had TO be imme-
diately removed at the knee.
Attorney Alvin F. johnson represents the
heirs and will soon leave for New York TO
prove up on the estate in behalf of his
clients whose claims are undisputed.

Just Sensible Food Cured Him.

Sometimes a good, healthy CONNER
cial traveller suffers from poorly Sc
lected food and is lucky If he learns
that Grape-Nuts food will put him
right.
A Cincinnati traveller says: about
year ago my stomach got in bad
way. I had a headache most of the
time and suffered misery. For several
months 1 ran down until lost about
10 pounds in weight and finally had to
give up a good position and go home.
Any food that l might use seemed to
nauseate me.
my wife, hardly knowing Witt y
do, one day brought home pacl Ige
Of Grape-Nuts food and coaxed me to
try 1t. 1 told her it was no use but
finally to humor her l tried a little,
and they just struck my taste. 1t
was the first food had eaten in near
ly year that did not cause any suffer
ing.
well, to make a long story short, l
began to improve and stuck to Grape
Nuts. 1 went up from 1876 pounds in
December to 1914 pounds the following
October.
my brain is clear, blood all
right and appetite too much for any
mans pocketbook. In fact, l am thor
oughly made over, and owe 1t all to
Grape-Nuts. 1 talk so much about what
Grape-Nuts will do that some of the
men on the road have nicknamed me
.Grape-Nuts,' but 1 stand today

of food will do.

Thirty-Two Firms and 10 individuals
indicted for Conspiracy.


Detroit. Mieh.-The anti-monopoly
campaign of Attorney General Wick
ersham shifted to Detroit this
week with the result that indict-
ments were returned by the federal
grand jury against 16 firms and 80
individuals alleged to have secured,
control of IS per cent of the annual
output of enamel ironware. batntubs.
sinks. laYatories etc. in the United
States.
Against each firm and each individ-
ual there are two indictments, CON
tanning six and four counts respec-
lively. under the Sherman antitrust
law, charging in substance that the
defendants control IS per cent of the
output of enameled iron ware, tubs
sinks. lavatories. etc. and that they
have conspired to restrain trade and
fix prices 1t is alleged that the con-
spiracy was formed at Mount Clemens,
Mich, last April and the criminal
cases grew out of civil suit brought
in the federal court at Baltimore.
The two indictments against each
defendant contain six and four counts
respectively and charge that the de-
PENDANTS. controlling IS per cent. of
the annual output, combined to re-
strain the trade of manufacturers and
of jobbers of plumbing supplies by re-
fusing to sell TO jobbers handiing the
goods of so-called Independents, by
the fixing of resale prices, by the Dill
vision of the United States into eleven
zones and refusing to sell to jobbers
who would not maintain the resale
prices established by the alleged
agreement of the defendants.
II is charged that the effect of these
resale prices is to make the price of
the articles manufactured by the COM
bination the same throughout the
United States, and to eliminate the
competition of jobbers as well as OF
manufacturers.
The indictments charge also that
the defendants compelled the jobbers
to enter into uniform contracts and
that all the defendants refused to sell
to any jobber unless he would sign
such a contract
The defendants will be required to
appear at once in the United States
court here and give bonds for their
appearance.

BAR uNSKILLED ALIEN
LABOR. REPORT URGES
Commission on immigration Asks Con-
sress TO Consider Question
as Eeononlis One.

Washington.-Sen consider
atoms in resi-. lcting immigration
should be waived in lieu of the
economic problems arising from ad-
verse effects on wage and living con-
ditions which the large number Of
aliens have had in recent years by
their entry into basic industries, ac-
cording to the final report of the i'm
migration commission transmitted to
congress. The commission unani-
mously urges the restriction Of I'M
skilled labor immigration.
The conclusion of the commission
is that the present immigration from
Europe is due chiefly to economic
causes, but is not an absolute eco
nomic necessity any longer, and that
as rule those who now come over
do so to better their conditions rather
than to escape intolerable conditions
at home.
This fact" the report says. should
largely modify the natural incentive
to treat the immigration movement
from the standpoint OF sentiment and
permit its consideration primarily as
an economic problem"
The commission then presents
number of plans for limiting immigra-
lion, among them being a reading and
writing test. which is the one favored
by a majority as the most feasible
single test of all
The commission finds that the large
number of aliens who have gone into
several basic industries in recent
years have affected adversely wages
and living conditions, and it unani-
mously recommends the restriction Of
the coming of unskilled labor. Sew
eral proposed plans for bringing
about the desired restriction are set
forth
Efforts to exclude all British East
Indians are urged through an agree
ment with Great Britain 1.-THE continu-
ance of the present Chinese exclusion
laws is recommended, as well as the
regulation of japanese and Korean
immigration by the existing arrange
ment. so long as it is effective.
