LINCOLN, July 11.--(Special.) 1.-The ri.
vslry which exists in the taking OF mo-
ton pictures by tho different film con-

visit of the Liberty Bell the last week,
when a Lincoln movie man proposed to
which had a monopoly on the pictures
taken on the trip that he was not the
whole procession.
The outside movie man had the ad-
vantage OF having his machine on the
front end Of the car carrying the bell
and in this position appeared to think
he had a lead pipe cinch. However. he
had never before run up against the real
thing in resources carried around by the
average Nebraskan and as a result has

Ray Lindsay, the moving picture md
chine operator. who assists DR. Condra
in the taking OF the movies for the state

made up his mind that the travelling
representative OF an eastern concern
might think he had a cinch on the bust
ness, but he would show him what Ne
braslSa could do as well. and as conse-
quence climbed to the top of two-story
brick building in close proximity TO the
bell and secured some especially fine
pictures, showing the travelling movie
man desperately at work on the front
end of the car taking the only author
lied pictures of the trip"
