Magney Hopes to
Clear Up the Ada
Swanson Murder

Important new evidence unearthed
by the county attorneys Office may
revive and clear up one Of the deepest
murder mysteries in the history Of
Omaha-the Ada Swanson case.
The utmost secrecy surrounds the
clues brought to light by the county
attorney, but it is known that wo-
man, never before mentioned in con-
nection with the case, is involved.
Developments are expected in the
next day or so.
Ada Swanson, a maid in the home
of J. S. Sykes, 1928 Spencer street,
was found in the coal bin on the
evening of May 81, 1915, dead. She
had been brutually murdered. A
bloody ak was found near by. The
murder was one of the sensations
of the year in the annals of crime.
No one was ever held for the STAY
ing nor was any definite motive for
the crime established.

MUST RAISE RATES
TO MEET INCREASE
General Manager Walters Says
Railroads Will Have to Get
More Revenue.
NO OTHER WAY OUT OF IT

While local railroad officials have
no accurate iata, they estimate that
the changing of the working hours OF
trainmen, under the provisions Of the
Adamson law, will mean an addi-
tional expenditure Of not less than
$50,000,0OO by the railroad companies
OF the United States within the next
year. In addition to this they are of
the opinion that this increase is only
the beginning of what is to follow
Discussing the situation, General
Manager Walters OF the Northwest.
ern asserts that in his judgment the
time is not far distant when all other
railroad men will come in and ask for
an eight-hour day, or, rather, an in
creased wage. He believes that this
increase will be demanded by the
clerks and office employees, the sec
ton men and those who are EN-.
ployed in other departments where
the ten-hour-per-day and the monthly
schedules are the rule at the present
time.
Mr.. Walters takes the position that
il the trainmen were entitled to the

increased wage there can be no valid
reason why employees in other lines
OF work should not be granted similar
concessions.
Must Raise Rates.
All this additional expenditure de.
manded by employees, in the judgment
OF Mr.. Walters, spells bankruptcy il
the railroads are not permitted in
some way to recoup their losses that
must naturally follow. The only way
out OF very bad situation, he thinks
is a general raise in freight rates, mol
on any one particular commodity, but
on the entire classihcations. He as.
serts that under the old pay roll
schedules only few of the railroads
of the country were more than break
ing even and that now, with this
extra burden Of wage increase placed
upon them, they will operate at an
enormous loss unless freight rates
are increased.
With the wage increase brought
about by the terms of the Adamson
law and the prospects of war, Mr.
Walters does not believe that there
will be any new railroad construction
in the near future, and all that the
railroads will be able to do will be to
take care Of maintenance, keeping the
properties in good condition.
Where appropriations have been
provided for new work, Mr.. Walters
thinks this work will be carried to
completion, but new extensions that
have been talked and for the making
Of which the money has not been &C.
tually set aside will have to wait an
indefinite length Of time.

COLONEL MAY NOW
KNOW THE REASON
Groh Enlightens the Great
Weather Prophet on Cues
tions Of History.
BUNKER WAS REAL PATRIOT
By A. R. GRoH.

Among the more or less numerous
responses to my invitation for sug-
gestions for topics to be discussed by
this Oracle comes one from Colonel
Welsh of the weather bureau. N
He asks, WAS or was not the bat
tie OF Bunker Hill fought with the
consent Of Mr.. and Mrs, Bunker who
owned the hillf' =.
| am surprised and even panied,
colonel, that a'nian Of your wide his
toric learning and profound erudition
should need enlightenment on a
question so simple.
The facts OF history on this sub
iect are so plain that every schoolboy
can understand them. However, as
YOU seem to have failed to grasp these
well-known facts, / have decided to
repeat them for your benefit.
Mr.. Bunker was a stanch patriot
There can be no doubt about that
He was often heard to exclaim.
IF my country ever needs my hill,
it shall have it.
Said a Mouthful.
That's the kind Of man Mr.. Bunker
was. And Mrs. Bunker was the same
stamp OF a woman. Whenever her
husband made this exclamation she
would invariably chime in with .
hearty, !.
"You said / mouthful then, Bunkp
So you see, here were the two own.
ers OF the hill in exact accord in re.
gard to letting their country use il
for battle purposes.
On the night Of June IS. 177s, Gen.
eral Howe, the British general
called at the Bunker home. His OBJ,
ject was to lease the hill for the bat,
tie. He offered Mr.. and Mrs. Bunker
large sum OF money II they would
lease him, the top part of the hill. Mr.
Bunker's answer TO this propositions
was such as we would expect from
true patriot.
"Neyerv' he exclaimed. "Neve,
shall I lease my hill to the red-coatet
mercenaries Of the British tyrant."
General Howe thcreupon left. yer,
much discouraged, and gave up al
hope Of having a battle on Bunker
hill.
Gets Hill for Nothing.
The next day Colonel William
Prescott, commanding the American
forces, took dinner at the Bunker
home and asked the Bunkers II h,
could lease their hill for a hattie witt
the British. Mark the ringing repl,
Of Mr.. Bunker:
Lease my hill to my country
Never! | will give II free" n
Colonel Prescott was much affected
Thank you, Bunker" he said, while
tears stood in his eyes. you are
real patriot. We will name thu
battle after YOU. That Is the leas'
we can do to express our apprecia
ton"
THANK you" was Mr.. Bunker
simple and appropriate reply. VI
This short narrative, colonel, dis
poses Of your query. II leaves no
the shadow Of a doubt that the battl,
was fought with the full permission
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Bunker. &
While am glad to enlighten peo
pie ON disputed or obscure points O.
history, it is annoying to find tn,
blight Of ignorance existing where W,
would expect to find the blessings O.
