ROAD BUILDING
PLAN DISCUSSED
BYC0UN7Y BOARD
Representatives of Chamber of
Commerce, Auto Club and
Other Bodies Confer
With Officials.

Discussion of the proposed plans fol
road building in Douglas county wa:
indulged in at some length Friday
morning at meeting of county COM
missioners and representatives of the
Omaha Chamber of Commerce, Auto
mobile club, Rotary club. Manufactur.
ers' association and other commercial
bodies.
No definite course of action was de-
cided upon, the final decision being
laid over until the regular meeting
Saturday morning.
w. B. Cheek, speaking for the COM
mercial organizations conferring with
the county commissioners. offered to
compromise and consent to the Center
street project provided the committees
plan was accepted in its entirety
otherwise.
Jake Sass of Sarpy county, advo-
Gated the building of Douglas county
roads as near the southern border as
possible, but the feasibility of Sarpy
county connecting with the roads in
whatever part of the state they may
be located was given as reason enough
for there being located in a more
central region.
c. E. Childe, manager of the traffic
bureau of the Chamber of Commerce,
stated that all railroads are going to
ask for an increase in local freight
rates and that in all probability there
will be some legislation soon to elimi-
nate the handling of less than carload
lots by the various roads. This, ac-
cording to Mr.. Childe. makes it i'm,
perative that the new roads be COM
pleted and maintained in state of
good repair to permit the marketing
OF farm prodtots.
A resolution was offered by Com
missioner Mcdonald proposing the
acceptance of the committees plan
with the exception of the Dundee
project, but the motion fell through
without second.

Lake View Park Opens Sunday.

Lovers of fun, music and dancing
should not miss the opening of Lake
view park, which is scheduled to take
place Sunday. Carl Lamp needs no
introduction, but it may be interesting
to know that his role of leader of the
Lakeview jazz band is a happy one
and as the director of the dance
palace harmonists affords a legitimate
and consistent reason for his daily
appearance at this mammoth garden.
Mr.. Lamps appearance on the plat
form is usually the cause of an out
burst of applause.

Carrying message Of which the
APFaSp v the Reheral prPsPOritE Of the
Philippine Islands, James j. Rafferty,,
director of the bureau Of c6hinerce
aAd' tfndustty of the =, Philippines,. is
ypygging from Manila to the main.
land and in the East ne expects to
open an Office for his bureau, prob,
ably located in New York City.
q. All industries in the Philippines ara
enjpying prosperity, sugar probably the
least, and many new industries arc
AFptinEipg, ,Ap, This has brought all1ut
an increasing demand for labor but
has produced no real shortage as vet.
Sugar and Ships
The sugar industry has suffered from
inability to ship and high freight rates
for much that went. The eentrals,
mills which grind for the surrounding
planters arc more prosperous than the
planters themselves There are great
stores of sugar on hand awaiting trans.
portation and while the shipping that
was taken from the Hawaiian run to
carry philippine sugar was welcome it
has not been nearly adequate to meet
the needs.
The Philippines no longer have to
seek outside for the establishment of
centrals for capital from home is forth
coming for the development of the
sugar as well as other industries. Mr..
Rafferty, considers it will be but a
short time before sufficient centrals
are ,built and equipped to permit a
large expansion of production.
Hemp Industry
The hemp industry is the most pros
porous in the Islands and the largest
Last year the production was valued
at 93,000,000 pesos and this year the
value is expected to reach 125, 1000, 900
pesos.
Coeoanut oil manVfacture is a grow
ing industry and in Manila there are
now Operating twenty mills.
In the Philippines and in Japan as
well government business is suffering
something of labor shortage because
of the withdrawal from government
branches, such as communication for
instance, OF men formerly employed in
such matters to enter individual enter
prises. In Japan this is even more
noticeable than in the Philippines.
Support For War
Mr.. Rafferty, took occasion to con
trast fthe course pursued by the Fill,
pinos in connection with the United
States belligereRcy with the courses
which they used to pursue when Spain
had outside troubles. Spain 5 emhrog
lio in any home or international difli
culties used to be the signal for an
uprising. Not so now, however. An
uprising might have required a garri.
son of $4,000 troops or more but, as it
is, the United States has only single
regiment there, the Ninth Cavalry, ne
gro All the other military forces are
native
Instead of causing disturbances the
FilipinOs have given the United States
war vessel, offered its guard for
services overseas and are raising a
division for actual service. Instead of
seeking to hamper the efforts of the
United States, the Philippines are en-,
deavoripg to assist and are subscrib,
ing heavily for Liberty Bonds and Civ,
ing literally from their means to the
support of the Red Cross.

Mother Il ]. #. Jailed For
Breaking Law ;lvw
To Feed Her Family

An unkind fate and the justice of the
law has death harshIy with the father
and the mother of a Hawaiian family
by the name Of Mahuea But charity
today is to take a hand in the affairs
of the other member of the family,
a ten or twelve year-old boy.
-Four months ago Mahuea, a big stal-
~art Hawaiian stevedore, was stricken
with blindness after he got something
III his eyes from the hold Of the vessels
upon which he was working.
Deprived of his support, Mrs. Chris,
tina Mahuea, his wife, a small, weakly
woman, tried to exc out living bv
working in the pineapple canneries. Her
strength and the pay were not sufficient
and she turned TO making swipcs, for
sale.
This new business was profitable but
Mrs. Mahuea was caught and turned
over to the federal authorities a month
ago for prosecution. Her story Of her
attempt TO find sustenance for her blind
husband and little son was so pitiabIe
that she was not charged, and she was
given her freedom on her promise not
to violate the law again.
But this PROMISE she broke and last
Saturday night was arrested again.
She was before Judge Horace Vaughan
yesterday when she, pleaded guilty and
was sentenced to thirty days imprisou!:
ment.
Bereft Of the mothers support the
father and son told Marshal j. j. Smid.
dy they did not know what they would
DO until the wife and mother was re
cased, The. marshal advised them that

they promised to do,

and the mayor will probably successful

SO charity is to look after the two
helpless persons while their "best

risk the punishment Of the law to aid
them, serves her sentence Of the one
