EMBARGO MODIFIED
BY UNION PACIFIC
Shipments in Less Than Car.
load Lots Not Included When
Order Goes Into Effect.
HOPE TO BREAK SHORTAGE

Modified at the last moment to pro-
vide relief for the small shipper, the
Union Pacific embargo on freight to
competitive points went into effect
yesterday.
From this date until January ? the
Union Pacific will refuse to accept
freight of carload lots or more billed
to competitive points. The embargo
is declared in order to alleviate inso-
far as it is possible the car. shortage,
which has become so acute this fall
and winter.
Just before the embargo went into
effect, however, the order was modi-
fed to except shipments Of less than
carload lots The original embargo
order was sweeping and included all
business except that which is billed
to local points and milling in transit.
Now small shipments OF less than
carload lots, whether billed to local
or competitive points, will be ac-
cepted,
The legality of the embargo con-
tinues to be matter of dispute. but
it is said the railroad officials. in de-
claring the embargo, are working on
the theory that shippers would have
less chance to collect damages if their
shipments we're refused than If their
shipments were accepted and delayed

Sits Down to Rest,
Loses Job, Hungry,
Tries to Forge Check

Hunger, due to the loss OF her job
as clerk in a local department store
when she sat down for few min
utes' rest, prompted Marie Nacht-
weik, aged q, Of the Palm hotel, to
attempt to pass a forged check on
the Br-ndeis stores, accordin~ to the
young woman's confession to the po-
lice. Miss Nachtweik was arrested
Thursday night and at that time she
gave the name of Newman. She
will be bound over to the district
court.
Since she left her home in Chicago
a year ago Miss Nachtweik has had
a hard time, according to her story.
She first obtained employment as a
demonstration, but she was compelled
to give up this job, she said, because
of unpleasant surroundings. Then
she obtained position in Omaha in
a store and the burden of life was
lighter until one night a floor walker
found her sitting down. Since that
time she has been without steady
employment, she stated, and in des-
peration she tried to cash the forged
check.

1915 the youth ran away from home
just before Christmas and was in the
custody of the authorities at Kansas
City, Mo-, when his father located
him and provided transportation
home. This year young Armstrong
repeated the caper and came to
Omaha, but his father wasn't so en-
thusiastic about sending him a rail-
road ticket. The elder Armstrong
finally decided, however, that the
youthful wanderer should eat fatted
chicken near the family hearth, so
when Gus Miller received money for
a ticket, the boy was put aboard a
