BROWNE IN FOR
 A SHORT STAY
ENGINEER IN CHARGE VISITING LOCAL OFFICES OF ENGIN-
 EERING COMMISSION.

F. n. Browne, engincc1-in-Charge of tAo Interior divisions of the Alaskan railroad, arrived here from his Nenana headquarters yesterday. He Yukon's departure down river next week.
 According to MT. Browne, the com mission has received all the money remaining out of the original $35.- OOO.OOO appropriated by congress for the construction of the railroad a little over $4,0OO,OOO. About half of this. according to MT Browne. wifi be required to settle up for oXpendi lures of the last fiscal year, the re mainder to be used for the work dur ing the present fiscal year
 The failure of congress to approve the recommendations for an addi- tional sum large enough to complete the road in 1921, said Mr. Browne, rs a serious disappointment to the A. F.. C.. but it is hoped that remedial leg islation already introduced will be speedily passed and additional funds available in time to insure continuous work. The lack of funds, he said, is preventing him from building all the road he had planned and could con struct this season. But" he con tinued, the road will b. completed between Fairbanks and Nenana this fall"
 Mir Browne plans to hold most of his present force together during the coming winter if funds are availa- ble. Those retained will be put to work in the Nenana canyon where about twenty miles of rock cut is re quired. This can be done during the winter as economically as in the sum- mer months, and it's completion next winter would be a big step toward finishing the Interior work.
 Mr Browne's friends are accusing him of bringing Nenana winds up to Fairbanks with him. Every time he visits here he runs into a high wind which, ho declares, is always spoken of as unusual. He is beginning to be lieVe that Fairbanks has as much wind as Nenana.

JOHNSON WANTS
 PROPERTY BACK
oRNER FAIRBANKS COUPLE AIR ING TROUBLES IN OUTSIDE
 COURTS NOW.

Recent adviCes received from tn, aratcs indicate that Mir and Mrs B " Johnson formerly well knowr residents of Fairbanks, are havinl some difficulty in the settlement O their Alaskan and Washington prop erty interests and have finally gon, into the courts with the matter. Mr Johnson. who is now over on the Chandlar river with Jimmy Fun chion. prospecting, is said to have sued Mrs. Johnson to recover some property he alleges he deeded tC her several years ago.
 The following account of the troubles recently appeared in a Sc 0ttle newspaper:
 SOUTH BEND, July S-In a com plaint filed with the clerk of the su perior court of this county by outsid attorneys. Burt w Johnsin a freighter for many years out of Fair banks, Alaska charges his wife. Jane II. B. Johnson. with trickery and with infdelity. They were married in 1907 Some years ago. Johnson declares he was afflicted with shooting pains in his head and other mental and phv- fical deficiencies to such extent that he believed that somo morning he would awake and find himself a total paralytic; and he ayers that this con 'ition grew upon him until he feared he would die as his mother had died
 ld.'r a like malady
 He alleges that his wife often i'm. pOrtuned him to deed and convey his property in Alaska, in Pacific county Washington. and elsewhere. to her on the plea that if he became helpless she could better take care of him. He finally did so but, he says, with the understanding that if he got well she was to reconvey the property to him or deed it back. He says she prom,
 od to do this and even went so far, as she said, as to make out a memo randum to that effect
 Finally he alleges, he made demand for the reconveyance of his property and he declares she then told him that she never intended to reconyoy it.
 The matter was heard here before Judge Hewen this week and the plain tiff made a good showing. Judge Gwen took the matter under advise nent. Subsequently the wife sent own affidavits tending to show that she and her husband had patched up differences on the day he took the boat for Alaska, June 26, and she al lag he had telephoned his attorneys to withdraw the suit. Now his at 9oIneys ask for time to bring in counter attidavitS disproVing the Wife'S ,laim of compromise. It is one of the most unusual suits brought in
 is county for years. Johnson has property valued at $25,000.

Says Fred WoosIey,

The conclusion of the war has

fore. One OF them pertaining to
the disposition of the barbed wire
on the fields of Flanders and north
ern France has already been solved.
1t has been resolved to utilize the
wire in knitting sweater for the
kaiser. The other, and the indef-
nitely more important question, has
not yet been answered, and it is up
to the young women to find the
solution since it is of greatest cor

ton of the service flag at that

But only the beginning of Mr..
Woosley's address was humorous.
AS he dwelt upon the sacrifices of
"the doughboy and COB" and told Of
their splendid courage and clean
living and as he pointed to the gold
star cleaning from among the blue
and set off by the field of white,
his voice trembled with suppressed
emotion and soon lost its humorous
suggestion. II extend to each OF

The service flag of the chur III,

and Mrs, ]. Tong, who has con-
tributed two sons to the service,
pinned a silver bar above each Of
the stars. As the cleaning bar OF
silver was being placed over the
star of gold the congregation stood
for few minutes in silent prayer
for the one who had given "his last
measure of devotion to his country,
in the words of Rev. M. E. Brown,
pastor of the church.
The congregation, led by the pas

Mayors Plan to Rid Omaha of

Mr.. kuykendall stated that the
motives of the mayor are no doubt
good and his courage beyond ques-

of bringing about the needed reform
is evidently the result of very shall
low thinking.

speaker, as he probably has dis
covered already, that when he at
tempts to drive out the woman of

merry-go-round, and that what goes

1T is rather surprising to hear a
proposition so utterly selfish as that
proposed by the mayor, in a time
when the social view of life is SUP
posed to have been established in
the stress of war. The world, we
have been told, has accepted So

HOUSE TO renew
DISCUSSION ON
LANGUAGE BILL
WIN Be Carried Over From
Thursday Of Last Week;
May Be Returned
to Senate.
From a staff Correspondent.


Lincoln, Feb. 23.-Discussion of
the foreign language problem will
be renewed in the lower branch OF
the legislature this afternoon when
the lower branch reconvenes to re-
consider the Siman bill, S. f. "a, in
the committee Of the whole.
This bill was left over last Thurs
day when the companion measure,
the Bnrney parochial school bill,
occupied the attention Of the house
for almost a day The two had
been made special order OF BUSH
ness at that time.
In the amended form which it
has been placed by the house COM
mittee, the Siman bill simply pro-
vides that no foreign tongue shall
be used for either secular or re-
ligious instruction in any public,
private or parochial school up to
and including the eighth grade and
adds a penalty of fine or jail i'm
prisonment for its violation. The
part covering Church or denomina-
tional Schools as distinguished
from "parochial schools" was elimi-
mated by the house committee on
education, which also cut out the
proviso which forbid language in
Struction in foreign tongue above the
eighth grade unless approved by
the state superintendent.
Nav Go Back.
These provisions were in the
bill as it passed the senate and
some OF the members of the upper
branch have already indicated that
they will have to go back before the
two houses can reach any agreement.
III they are not restored by the
house committee Of the whole then
they will have to be threshed out
in the conference committees, they
say.
While the house is devoting it.
self to the. bill, the senate will this
week consider a measure dealing
with the language question which so
far has escaped public attention, but
which will prove more revolutionary
than first glance shows. 1t is S. F.
No. 227 by Reed and Johnson, and
it requires all public meetings and
business sessions of organizations
and corporations within the state be
conducted in the English language
This bill would do away with po-
litical meetings where foreign voters
are addressed by politicians in their
own tongue. 1t would also require
foreign born nationalities who hold
meetings to protest on pending legis-
is'i0n TO conduct them in English.
The bill has been reported oui
from the committee.
