General Strike in London
Now REGARDED as Unlikely

London, Feb. 5.-The best in
formed opinion tonight IS that a
general strike is unlikely in Lon
don.
The situation on the Clyde is inn
proving, though there has been no
general resumption Of work, es-
pecially in the shipbuiIding yards.
AT Belfast, Lord Pirrie, controller
of merchant ship building, at con-
ference with representatives of the

rangement Of s4 hours weekly, with
overtime paid for all work exceeding
AZ hours, pending a complete settle

FLOOD OF
BILLS
COMES AT
| LINCOLN
Measures of Every COnCeiva-
BILE Kind introduced in Two
Houses Of Legislature on
Last Legal Bay.
From a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 5.-With the
machinery Of the legislative refer
ence bureau speeded up to its high
est point of acceleration, and with
an, avalanche of bills pouring into
the house on the last day bills could
be introduced, there are still some
laws that died aborning and some
members who failed to come under
the wire with their entries on the
home stretch.
Altogether 576 bills were introduce
ed in the house during this session,
as contrasted with 739 during the
same number of days by the 1917
session.
Only 253 new bills were introduc-
ed in the senate this year as con-
trasted with 33l during 1917
Bureau Works Overtimee.
Members seemed to have gone on
regular saturnalia of bill intro
duction of their ability to produce
new legislation was limited only to
the powers of the legislative refer
ence bureau to meet the demand.
The usual number of freak bills,
was introduced, one of them being
a report of Kansas live stock COM
mission, in which the legislator for
got to eliminate the name Of the
"Sunflower state" and in seeking
to get the Nebraska legislature to
pass a law applicable to the state
of Kansas,
Then there is another bill copied
from newspaper item, and it pro-
vides for holding postal card pri-
mary before a general election and
imposes a fine of 500 for the man
or woman of legal age who does
not vote.
Druesedow to Front
Druesedow rushed madly up to
the speakers desk, just as the last
entries were under the wire and be-
fore he could be distanced, with a
batch of bills that would make
Townley of nonpartisan fame. green
with envy. The bills provide for
the state of Nebraska going ipto the
banking insurance. mill and elevator
business, warehousing and the opera
ton of public utilities by the state.
These bills were endorsed with
his name, as introducer. ALI the
rest of the Douglas county delega-
ton disclain9d responsibility in any
way for theft introduction.
Many of the bills are loosely drawn
having no enacting or repeating
clauses.

Baron De Orgler Discovers
Dream Woman of His Search
ToBeNurse Livingin Omaha
Voice Over Telephone Wire to Him at Fremont Proves
to Be That Of Mrs. Grace Jackson Heinneman,
Whom He Met in Kansas City and for Whom He
Has Searched Many Weary Months Since.

Baron De Orgler, Roumanian, one
time captain of the Royal Austrian
dragons, who has but recently
visited in Omaha, has found the ideal
woman of his dreams. His romance
of wartime has drifted through all
the episodes such romances do. Sus-
pected as a spy, the prison cell
loomed. The woman of his heart
frowned. Patriotic to the core, she
would not listen to his story though
his protests were many.
Then the baron departed, but in
going he said he would return under
more favorable circumstances.
The armistice was signed, war
drums ceased and the baron took
up his search, his record cleared.
That is perhaps one reason why
the baron came west He made
speech after speech in behalf of the
Liberty loans. He visited city after
city. The public was reused to the
patriotic need OF the hour.
Met In Kansas City.
But always the debonair noble
man, as he travelled through the
United States lecturing and ex-
hibiting war films, was hoping that
he would find again the young wo-
man he met one great day in Kan
sas City.
Yes, Kanas City.
And yesterday while at Ere
mont, he answered a long distance
call, and who should respond but
the dream woman come TO life.
She is a nurse, Mrs. Grace Jack
son Heinneman of Omaha, but for
a time at Snyder, Neb. Now the
titled visitor evermore is happy.
But there is always a fly in the
ointment. The baron learned that
there had been marriage. But a
divorce case is pending, it is said.
If one picks the fly from the oint-
ment itswill oftentimes serve its
medical purpose. And hearts have
sometimes been mended.
Hears Her Voice.
The conversation over the tels=
phone, yesterday at Fremont, was
one of surprising eheerfulness and
promised happiness, it is said, az
though when Mrs. Heinneman was
called up by an inquisitive newspa-
per man, she defantly said: Il
would not marry the best man in the
world
Baron De Orgler came to/Omaha
last Friday. His stay here was much
heralded. His natty appearance in
the garb of a Roumanian even to the
swing of his curved cane, attracted
much social attention here.
He was wounded at Schabtz as
captain of the Austrian Royal Drag
oons. His tours through the United
States were made in the interest of
Liberty loans and Red Cross drives.

was love at first sight. He was
obliged to leave and he had not

fits would be received by the repub-
lican party.
