COLLIE RUNS 1900 MILES.
Dan" Had Ridden In Auto With
Master at YazOO, Miss.


l 200 miles overland through a
strange country in the surprisingly
short period of nine days, a road
stained Scotch collie forgot for a
few moments of his aching and wear
mess as he sprang with JOY about his
old home here last night. After the
first welcome he lay down for a
sound sleep and for hours could not
be awakened. Yesterday, aside from
being slightly lame and rather gaunt
the faithful animal appears little
the worse for his long hard trip.
dan" is owned by G.. r. Bolen,
for number of years proprietor Of
the South Omaha Van & Storage Co.,
at 621 N. oath street, South Omaha.
On September IA Mr.. and Mrs. Bolen
left for their new home at Yazoo,
Miss, in their automobile, taking
with them their pet dog Dan A
few days ago letter came to Fred
{. Beverage, brother-in-laW of Mr..
Bolen, and his successor in the trans
fer business in South Omaha, which
was written one week ago last Sun
Bolen end Dan" were out picking
strawberries, showing he was there
nine days ago.
Tuesday Dan" appeared back at
his old home in South Omaha, hav
ing made the trip unaccompanied,.
overland. He was positively identi-
fled by the father of Mr.. Bolen and
the employees about the transfer barn
and others, who knew the canine
Well
He still wore a small leather strap
about his neck he had worn away. He
showed the effects of long travel,
his feet being inflamed to a certain
degree.
That the trip made by Dan is
one of the most remarkable on rec
ord, there can be no doubt The
shortest railway line out of. Omaha
to Vicksburg, Miss, which is about
twenty-five mics south of YaZOO, is
1901 miles. Thus Dan must have
averaged for the nine days on the
road 118 miles a day, every foot Of
which he doubtless travelled along
the highway over which he had gone
south with his master. t
Following the route taken by his
master going, the dog undoubtedly in
returning passed through Memphis,
Cairo and East St., Louis. Reaching
the latter place he crossed the Fades
bridge to St. Louis, going thence to
Kansas City and then to Omaha.
It is probable that the auto road
was somewhat longer than is the rail
road line, hence Dan probably travel
ed at least 1920 miles. 5e.
One week ago Monday Mr.. Bolen
wrote q letter from Vicksburg to his
father in Omaha, stating that he was
just leaving for, New Orleans, La,
in his car, He made no mention Of
Dan so it is just possible that the
dog lid not leave Yazoo until after
his master had left for vicksburg,
which would cut the dogs travelling
period down.
Tuesday Mr.. Beverage sent night
telegram to Mr.. Bolen at New Or
leans reading, "Your dog is here
safe and sound"

MATHEW KRAMER'S
BODY LAID IN TOMB

Solemn requiem was was cele-
brated In st. Gertrude's Roman Cath
Ollie church In Crosse Pointe. Saturday
morning. as the fiower-laden casket
containing the body OF Matthew
kraemer. Jr., stood on its bier at the
chapel steps. The church was
crowded with sorrowing friends, be-
cause the young man, who was
drowned last Tuesday, was very
popular.
Yong Kramer, who. was Just Is
years old. was the only child OF his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Matthew
Kramer. for whom, IN their great loss.
the greatest sympathy Is expressed by
neighbors and friends Preceding the
mass In the church, services were
held In the family residence, "Kram-
erhof" The pallbearers were. former
classmates OF the young man In the
University of Detroit.

but he never did SO.
The mayor has, however, been
very active In securing new fran
chises for the d. u. r. which the city
will nnd very dangerous stumbling
blocks in the way Of the municipal
ownership movement. The ID. U. r.,

strue these new franchises-will, re-
CARELESS Of the final result--secure
years OF delay.
Regarding the inventory the
mayor Is preparing, 1t is stated that
the d. u. r.. Is assisting with It's
books and that their experts and the
experts Of the commission, are fixing
or acquiescing In the values. In
view Of the fact that the ID. u. r..
has already appraised its physical
property at $31 100000 and It's fran
chise value at s5,000,000, We can
guess pretty close. what will be the
character OF the appraisal when the
d. u. r. experts approve the items.
'The Bancroft appraisal and the
d. u. r. appraisal contains nearly
the same property. 1t would be an
easy matter to make the necessary
additions and deductions to compare
them In detail. Then with the two
inventories agreeing as to amount and
location OF the property, compe-
tent engineer could determine its
value. II Is quite evident that the
city will not only lose the $4,000
which It Is TO pay for this new APP
praisal, but will lose enormously by
the extravagant prices which the
new appraisal will contain II It should
be made the basis OF acquiring the d.
U. r. property"

George William Moore, chairman of

george Wliham Moore, chairman OF
he legal committee OF the municipal
ownership committee, takes excep-
ion TO front page editorial printed
In Detroit paper, Friday afternoon,
defending Mayor Marks street rail-
Way policy as the best road TO NUM-
tipal ownership. In statement given
put Saturday morning, Mr.. Moore as
terts that the mayor not only has
been derelict In his duty to carry out
he wishes OF the voters In street
Railway affairs. but has lent his aid
IN multiplying the efforts of others who
look up the fight when he failed. Mr..
Moore's statement follows:
IAN evening paper yesterday
claimed that Mayor Marx was pro-
crossing towards municipal owner
|ship.
"Let us see what he has done dur
ing his two years term.
when he was elected he knew
That an enabling act was necessary,
that the one passed In 1909 and the
|pne passed In 1911 had both been
declared void by the supreme court.
He was urged to have a new act
passed but did nothing. Finally the
|Municipal Ownership committee
|asked me to draw such bill, and |
did 30. Judge Jeffries took II TO
Lansing, interested Senator Verdier
|and the bill subsequently was passed
|as the yerdier act.
"A municipal ownership plan was
presented to the common council and
DC was stated to be copy OF the
|plan prepared by me. ! challenged
|the statement and proved by compar-
ing the two that the Moore plan had
been so butchered as to render II
void. The council committee then
|cut out the vicious parts that had
been added. But after the committee
|meeting, someone. don't know who,
made certain changes In II few
minutes before II was presented to
the common council. Those changes
were made In the mayors office, and
their only effect can be to invalidate
the whole plan. told the mayor OF
this danger the next morning. He
then promised TO have the municipal
Ownership plan properly revised In
the new charter, but neither he nor
his attorneys did anything towards
revising II. Finally the committee
asked me to undertake the task. i
did SO. only to have It again butch
cred. Then l revised 1t still another
time, and the mayors attorneys .ap-
peared on the invitation Of the COM
mittee. All they did was to answer
such questions as were put to them.
When the revision was completed
they approved Ii and said II was, In
their opinion, valid plan.
Then the mayor assisted In de-
feating this plan by defeating the
new charter When personally pro
tested he promised me. as the repre-
sentative OF the municipal ownership
forces, that II the charter were de-
feated he would Immediately submit
this revised municipal ownership plan
as an amendment to the old charter,
