BIG new HOTEL
TO Be BUILT ON
HENSHAW SITE
New Hostery to Be Fourteen
Stories High and Mod
ern in Every Respect,
It Is Announced.

Another large modern hotel is to
be built in Omaha, according to an
announcement by the management
of the Henshaw hotel. The proposed
hotel is to occupy the 123 feet on
Farram street now occupied by the
Henshaw.
The work of tearing down the
present building is to be started as
soon as proper arrangements can
be made with the tenants in the
store>rooms on Farnam street.
The west half OF the present build
ing was built in 1908 and that por-
ton of the building will not be torn
down, it being originally constructed
to carry many more stories.
The new hotel is to be of most
modern construction, ID stories high,
and will be olerated by Thomas J,
O'Brien, who has been proprietor of
the Henshaw since 1893. Old timers
will remember the place originally as
McTague's restaurant. The Redick
estate owns the property and is
financing the new building.
The Henshaw has long been head
quarters for many visitors and COM
mercial travellers, and the hotel man
agement proposes to keep pace with
the city of Omaha and its fast grow
ing transient business.

REYNOLDS GETS
LABOR JOB UNDER
new GOVERNOR
President Omaha Central
Union to Land at First
Shake of Plum Tree;
Others Also.

Lincoln, Neb. Dec. 7,-(Special.)
While nothing authoritative has
been given out, state house gossip
has already picked the winners in
the competition for the principal ap-
pointive offices to be filled by Gov
ernor McKeivie. The fact that Phil
Bross is looking after correspon-
dence, sitting out the visitors and
acting just like a private secret, !
is taken as proof conclusive that he
is to hold that title officially after
the new governor takes up his duties.
1t is also conceded that if any one
is entitled to recognition for work
done it is Ed Beach who steered> tie
republican machine as chairman of
the republican state committee and
crowned : t4 .!paign with victory.
If Beach can have anything he wants
he will be chief fire warden, for that
is the place he has his eye on.
The next important position in the
governors gift-box is the head food
al oil it 5pector, for which job {.eo
Stuhr of Grand Island is said to
be. slated. Stuhr served j the last
legislature as a representative from
Hall county and proved Himself a
live wire republican.
Reynolds In Labor Chair.
For the state labor commissioners
chair now filled by George Norman.
Thos. P/Reynolds, president of the
Omaha Central Labor union, so the
gossirs have it, is under considcra-
ton.
The office of adjutant general is
being sought by several candidates,
but the governor is said to have in
dicated the desire to hold this for
some returned soldier who has sten
service on the other side.
OF course, there are a lot more
smaller jobs which the gossipers
have not yet definitely allotted, and
there may be few hold-overs. but
the GcneraIopinion is that repub-
lican administration is what the peo-
pie voted for and will get.

Perfected Star Shell
Adds Greatly to Nauy's
Fighting Efficiency

Washington, Dec. THE fight
ing efficiency of the American
navy at night will be increased
about Is per cent by the perfection
of a star shell operating at long
range under all conditions at sea.
The new she'll is said to excel any
produced by other nations, and the
history of its development is de-
sc-ibed in statement tonight by
the Navy department.
The shell is said to be suitable
for firing from guns of from three
to fve-inch caliber and is fitted
with parachute attachment. 1t
is filled with Illuminating material
guaranteed to burn in spite of the
terrific rush of air it meets when
freed. The value of the shell lies,
said the Navy departments state
ment, in Illuminating the naval
units of the enemy without dis
closing the position of the craft
using the shell.
