Suppress Omaha Newspaper

A number of Fremont citizens have
appealed to N. II. Mapes, captain OF
the local company of home guards, to
instigate an investigation into the dis

that the text of paper is published in
English but that all headlines are
printed in German. Sample copies
are being distributed here.
They refer to the distribution as an
insult to the Americans and regret
that the people of Omaha allow the
paper published in its present form.
The petition praises the action of
the home guards in their enleavor to
suppress the German tongue and
pledge support to their efforts.
They request an investigation Of
the subscribers of the paper and that
their names be published in a local
paper stating whether they are able
to read and speak English. They
suggest cancelling the subscriptions
of all who can speak English and
opening night school for those who
are unable to speak any language but
German.

Crews Move $4,000
Cars in II Hours

Moving a total of 23.516 carts with
in .seventy-two-hour period is the
record of freight movement over the
Middle Division since midnight. Sat
urdoay. and continuing until midnight
Tuesday, a total of ever $500 being
moved daily.
While Sunday proved the banner
day in the fwreight movement over
the division, the record for each day
has been unusually good with Su-
perintendent ]. c. Johnson, of the di-
vision, urging the train crews to a
record of 10000 cars each twenty-tour
hours.
Delays in car movement are es-
pecially costly at this time, the di-
vision being unusually short on suf-
ficient crews to handle the increased
work and the layoff of members of
the present force greatly cripples the
movement. At present the division
extra crews are few, with every extra
man being in daily use.
One minutes time lost in handling
carts results in the delay to an aver
age of twelve cars.
