Bring Pressure to
Bear.

Washington. Sept, l6.-(Speeial
Telegram. Pressure is being
brought to bear on General Per-
shing to visit Omaha during the first
week in October. 1t took form to-
day through conference Congress
man Jefferis had with Senator War
rem growing out of letter from
Everett Buckingham, a member of
the board of directors of Ak-Sar-Ben
and general manager of the stock
yards, in which Mr.. Buckingham in
dicated that General Pershing would
meet more old friends at a recep-
ton in Omaha than he could pos
sibly meet on any similar occasion.
Ready to Show Him.
He said they were just waiting
for the word of his coming, when
they would show the leader of the
American expeditionary forces in
Europe what they thought of him.
Congressman Jefferis in his inter
view with Senator Warren outlined
what the presence of General Per-
shing in Omaha at its fall festivi-
ties meant to Nebraska and the west.
going so far as to predict that, if
the general would honor the Gate
City with visit in October, he be-
lieved the crowd would be bigger
than that which greeted President
Wilson three years ago, when he
was the guest of the city at the
semi-centennial of the states admin
istratlon.
Warren Ready to Help.
Senator Warren indicated his
willingness to cooperate. but re-
luctantly admitted that General Per-
shing was tired and needed rest.
For two years General Pershine
has been under a great strain" said
the senator. 'He has report to
make of his stewardship and that
is on his mind. If he can see his
way clear | feel sure he would be
only too glad to include Omaha in
his list of places to be visited, and
it will give me pleasure to urge him
to accept Omaha's hospitality if it
is physically possible"

They had been summoned by spe-

honorary chairman of the state COM
mittee. The governor and Attorney
General Reed were present and
spoke.
Treated EN- Rough"
After these speeches Harry Zim-
man and Henry Monsky took charge
OF the meeting and pulled in sur
prisingly large subscriptions in the
peculiar ime-honored Jewish fash
ion, -.
4 rich young business man led Oft
with a subscription of $500. In any
other meeting of the kind this would
have been received with applause
and thanks Not so here. Mr.. Tim
man pointed finger of scorn at
him.
THAT is not enough" was his sur
prising statement, You will IN
crease it to $1,000
The young man shook his head.
That's my limit" he said.
But before the meeting was over
he, raised his subscription to 81 ,OOO
and seemed to like it.
From $3.50 to $1,000.
Another man subscribed $3.50.
Mr.. Zimman looked at him with
scorn.
You ought to be ashamed OF
yourself" was his greeting. You
are a single man. You are rich.
Little babies are starving across the
seas, babies of your own great race.
And YOU offer $3.50! Here is man
with large family, Sitting next to

I'll make it $780," said the be-
rated man with laugh.
You'll make it more than that
before the evening is over" said
Mr.. Zimman. And he finally did
raise it to $1,000
Henry Monsky told of merchant
in Omaha who has been sending
money to his relatives in Europe,
instead Of subscribing largely to re-
lief funds. Recently he received
back large sum which he had sent,
with the word that his relatives had
all died of starvation.
Applause Isn't Food"
"The applause of the governors
speech won't feed any starving ba-
bies in Europe" he told them. "You
mist give. Don't sit there with an
apologize air for the little 500 Or
5000 subscriptions you give. Come
out and give something you will be
proud Of"
Mr.. Zimman told OF wealthy
commission man who offered $500.
"He is worth several hundred
thousand dollars" he said. "and we
refused his subscription. We won't
take $500 from him. I'd rather go
out and get II the peddlers to raise
the $1,000 that he ought to give"
Money Pours In.
At the height of the solicitations
the workers who went around
through the crowd like workers at
an old-fashioned revival meeting
were shouting out $500 and $1,000
subscriptions faster than the clerks
could take them down. In numer-
Gus instances men who started with
$3.50 gave $1,000 before the doors
were opened and they left the meet

today awaiting proposals from the
Washington Gas Light Company OF an
equitable" adjustment as ordered III

the Public Utilities Commission on Il
hearing granted householders OF that

No method of adjusting the bills.
some of which jumped from amounts
like S3.S5 in October to S21.60 in No.
vember, was suggested by the Com
mission. The gas company's eXplana-
tion that a green" man underread
the meters in October was not &C,
cepted.
According to the text of the oecis-
ion a number of theories were ad-
vanced for the recorded high con-
sumption in November, such as poor
quality of gas, variations in pressure,
the unconscious increase in the use
of gas caused by the return from the
daylight saving system, or TO Il
combination of other causes"
At the hearing all consumers who
could read their own meters agreed
that the bills were correct according
to the meter readings. but that the
meter readings were outside the pale
OF all reason.
