REICHSTAG DEBATE
ON U-BOAT PILLAGE
Main Committee Divided Re-
garding Success of unre-
stricted Submarine
Warfare.

Copenhagen, Aug. 26.-The sub
marine controversy again has been
raised in the Reichstag main commit
tee in the governments efforts TO
convince the members that the unre-
stricted U-boat campaign is a great
success. Press dispatches, both for
foreign and home consumption, have
been printed, giving in great detail the
arguments and statements from Dr.
Karl Helfferich, secretary OF the IN
terror, and Vice Chancellor and wee
Admiral Eduardo Won Gapelle, secre-
tary of the imperial admiralty. These
dispatches, however, carefully re-
Trained from mentioning the skeptical
attitude of Matthias Erzberger, clerical
member of the Reichstag; Phillip
Scheidemann, socialist member, and
Conrad Haussman, Bavarlan radical.
Herr Scheidemann took issue with
DR.. Helfferich, questioning his ac-
count of the workings of the unre-
stricted campaign and warned the
government that it must not deceive
itself regarding the effect of the sink
ings on England. Herr Scheidemaun
said that nothing had been brought
forward to change his party's attitude
on the submarine question.
Herr Erzberger said that Admiral
Won Capelle figures were based on an
antiquated assumption and in no wise
were they convincing and he was very
optimistic in regard to these calcula-
tions. Herr Haussman declared that
the situation had II, certain quarters
been exaggerated as good, and that
400 powerful expectations had been
raised.
Vice Chancellor HelffericiI and Sec
retary Won Capelle spoke repeatedly i'll
rebuttal to their critics arguments,
bur apparently without success.

START CAMPAIGN
FOR JEWISH RELIEF
Teams and Captains Named to
Begin Work Today to
Raise Omaha's Allot-
ment.

With thirty-eight men already sub
scribing $4,000, an unusual start has
been made toward the $4,000 goal set
by the Omaha Jewish relief commit
tee for sufferers in the war. The high
est subscription is that of one man
whose name has not been made pub
lie, but who has subscribed $4,000.
Equally important is the donation out
right of $1,000 by Morris Levy of the
Nebraska Clothing company, with an
additional promise of 10 per cent Of
the sum total raised in Nebraska
Eight or ten subscriptions of $1,000
each have already been raised, others
of $500 each.
The active campaign begins this
morning, when the fourteen teams will
begin to call on some 800 or 400 Jew
ish citizens and give them the privi-
lege of making equally liberal dona-
tions. Every night during the week
of the campaign, which is to close on
Labor day, members of teams and
their captains will meet in the Lyric
building to compare daily results and
to receive impetus for fresh start.
At the last meeting of the campaign
Jacob Billikopf, executive director Of
the national campaign for $l0,0O0,000,
of which the local effort is but part,
will be here to receive reports

Real Estate NeWs

The Pittsburgh Real Estate board
has recently revised its commission
scale. AS comparison with Omaha
il may be noted that the charges are
different when within the city limits
or for suburban or outlying prop
erty. The minimum in either case IS
$50 on unimproved property and 500
on improved property. The minimum
charge in Omaha is SIS up to $500
and $50 from $500 to $1,000. AS in
Omaha, in case of exchange, both
parties are charged commission. The
charge on real estate loans is 8 per
cent on the total amount OF the loans.
The Kansas City Real Estate board
is backing a movement a year or
more after the Omaha, board has
adopted it, OF describing transfers OF
real estate in newspapers by street
numbers or distances from the cor
ner. They seem to think it would be
quite an advantage to the owner OF
the property, the agent and the pub
lie.
Southern cities seem to be getting
at least their share of the great gov
ernment projects. Birmingham, Ala,
which now claims to have $4,000 pop
uiation. with Atlanta having 100000,
making Birmingham the second city
of the south, has been made the first
choice for the government proposed
$4,000 nitrate plant. This will be To-
Gated on the Warrior river, near the
city.
Detroit reports building activities
as slack for the first six months OF
the year, but that the real estate deal
ers declare reported business i'm.
proving as the first result OF the pub
lie mind becoming settled to q state
of war.
The American Contractor, in dis
cussing the building operations
throughout the United States, reaches
this conclusion: "On the whole, the
prospective situation in the building
industry can be summarized as dis
tinctly optimistic. Even though we
disregard as problematical the i'm
petus which may come from the re-
quirement for government canton
ments and camps, there still remain
enough purely commercial factors &c
warrant some confidence in the fu
ture of building during the period oi
the war;"
Omaha and other cities in this par
of the country do not realize the tire
mendous building projects required b,
the industrial operations in eastern
cities, for instance, the nitrate plan
referred to above. One Of the Pitts
burgh Steel companies has planned {
mammoth building project, including
new plant and new town costing
$3,000,000. Last year several farms
were purchased in Washington coun
ty, opposite Fayette City, long dis
tance from the center OF Pittsburgh
This includes large water works
system, a new railroad and 20(
homes to be built at once.

Italian Slain at kenosha.

KenOsha, Dee. ga CHASTITY murder,
recalling in grewsomeness the horrors
of the famous crimes of the White
chapel district in London, occurred
here when Louis Rogliano, an Italian
twenty-five years of age, was found
murdered on a street in the heart of
Kenosha's little Italy" Three shots
had been fired into him, one through
both lungs and two others into his
brain, after which his head had been
literally hacked from the rest of his
body. A police officer who heard the
shots stumbled over the body of Rog-
lianO in a street. ROglianO was to
have been married on next Saturday
and the police are searching for a
young woman by the name of ''Erma,"
believing that she can furnish the only
possible clue to his murderers.

ESCAPED CONvICTs TAKEN
Eight Caught After They Held Up
Car and Robbed Passengers
Three Still at Large.

Chicago, Dec 5.-Charles Werner,
the eighth of the 13 convicts who es-
capped from the Joliet state peniten-
tiary, was captured at Morris, ILL.,, by
Sheriff Charles Hendrickson of Grun-
dy county; as Werner was walking
down Washington street in Morris
near the county Jail.
The other seven escaped convicts
captured at Norris were returned to
Joliet.
The capture of Werner followed an
all-day hunt by officers and citizens
of Grundy county, who have been
aroused by the presence of the armed
convicts in their midst.
Those captured are Werner, Thorn
as Van Buren,, Thomas Wardell, Louis
Eachies, Thomas Simmons, John
Coure, Melich Monte and Edward
King.
The scene shifted to Morris after
the bandits stopped a Chicago, Otta-
wa and Peoria interurban car at MI
nooka, robbed the crew and passen-
gers and tossed them into the road
side while they ran the car at break
neck speed toward Morris. The town
took on the appearance of an army gar
rison, while the siege of the despera-
does was on.

Many Deer Are Killed.

Cable. Dec. 5.-The big game season
ended in northern Wisconsin with the
largest number of deer ever taken in
one season, according to old residents.
Scarcely q hunting party returned
without every member being supplied
with a deer. Local hunters and set
tiers have deer hung up, in some in
stances, for every member of the fam
lily, and this will result in a consider
able saving of domestic meats during
the winter. Many more women than
usual participated in the game hunt
this season.
