Senators Take Day
Off After Hearing
: Senator Beal Talk

Lincoln, Feb. 22.-(Special. y
While the house of representatives
could not find anybody today worth
paying tribute to, the senate arose
to the situation and inspiration of the
day and paid mark of tribute not
only to General George Washington,
the father of his country, but to
Colonel Harry Bradley, the janitor of
the senate
As the senator's entered the cham
Der this morning they passed under
two flags suspended across the door
way, while each desk displayed
miniature emblem OF the star span
gled banner Pictures of Washing
ton, Lincoln and Wilson were dis
played on the wall and the inspira-
ton brought out a speech from
Senator Sandal in which he called
attention to the fact that Mr.. Wash
ington was dead and that Mr.. Bradley
was very much alive.
After prayer and roll call, on mo-
ton of Senator Kohl, the senate ad-
journed after listening to a fve-min-
ute address by Senator Beal on the
life and character of Washington.

BALLOON FROM FORT
LANDS NEAR PERSIA
Captain Chandler and His Aides
Make Successful Flight
From Omaha.
DEAL DAY FOR TRIP

In the air about two hours and a
half, the big gas bag and its crew
which figured in the initial fight from
Fort Omaha since the establishment
of the balloon division there, landed
near Persia, Ia, about forty miles
east of Council Bluffs, at 7:30 O'Clock
last evening. The start was made
from the balloon shed at Fort Omaha
at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Owing to the distance and the bad
condition of the roads, the balloon S
crew will make the return trip to
Fort Omaha by train. 1t was orig
inally intended to bring the men and
the gas bag back in a motor truck
which, filled with supplies, was in
readiness when word Of the landing
was received.
Those who made the ascent were
Captain Charles DEF. Chandler, the
commanding officer, and Captain
Bower and First Lieutenant David
son. Anything over an hour is con-
sidered a successful fight, accord
ing to members of the balloon corps
at Fort Omaha.
1t was practically all ideal after
noon for balloon flight A 10000
feet capacity balloon was used in the
ascent

Another result OF the monarch's in
tervention has been that Vienna street
cars are still running day and night
DR.. Weiskirchner, the burgorraster,
had decided that no cars should be
run between 9 in the morning and 5
in the afternoon. After talk with
the emperor over the telephone, how
ever. the ruler of the municipality
changed his mind.
In order to avoid side-stepping by
the city council, the emperor himself
fixed the number of cars which were
to run.
Some official circles in Vienna and
elsewhere throughout the empire have
not yet recovered from the shock
caused by the energetic methods of
Emperor Francis Joseph's young sue
cessor, Red tape has been cut, right
and left, and official heads continue
to fall in the general cleanup which
is still going on. 1t is sad time for
certain army officers who have been
enjoying staff sinecures. In one in
stance the emperor sent a batch of
seventy to the front and replaced
them by invalided officers.

Washington, Feb. 22.-President
Wilson participated in George Wash

Il hope that they will make an ar

will do no more shooting until the
vote is taken said the senator.
Senator Pomercne said that both
Germany and Great Britain had vio-
lated American rights, b it that only
Germany had sacrificed American

Just thirty years ago since Adeina
Patti came to Omaha and sang to the
third biggest house" in her great
career, at least up to that time. The
proceeds for her single concert in
the old Exposition building were Sl0,-
700. In only two previous concerts
had she exceeded this figure, at St.
Petersburg and Rio Janeiro.
"The Exposition building said Mr..
Miner, occupied the block between
Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets on
Capitol avenue. The management had
lost several thousand dollars on pre-
vious attractions. When Max Stra-
kosch. PATHS manager, came here he
offered to have Patti sing for $4,000.
But the management feared to guar
antce that large sum. SO he rented
the building for $500
