U. S. Sends Another Sharp
Note Across the Border

Washington, Dec. 22.-Represen-
tations to the Mexican government
in two separate cases involving pro-
lection of American lives have gone
forward from the State department
through the American embassy at
Mexico City.
Informed by the American consul
at Mazatlan, Mexico, that the two
American sailors arrested there No
vember II, in connection with a
street fight were being held on vari-
Gus pretexts, the department imme-
diately instructed Charge Summerlin
at Mexico City to make representa-
tons to the Carranza government.
No explanation was made by the
consul as to the nature of the pre-
texts"
The embassy at Mexico City was
directed in another dispatch to in
sist that the Mexican government
take steps toward the apprehension
Of the bandits who captured and held
for ransom Frederick, Hugo, Ameri-
can rancher near Muzluiz, Mexico.
Although official information that

LODGE DECLINES
TO COMMENT ON
HApC0OD RETURN
Intimated Revelations Will Be
Made Of Minister'S Activi-
ties and Sympathies for
Soviet Government.

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator
Lodge, chairman OF the foreign rela-
tions committee, declined today to
discuss published report that Nor
man Hapgood, minister to Den
mark, decided to return to the United
States after the State department
learned that the committee was pre-
pared to make public information
which was expected to show activi-
ties and sympathies for the Russian
soviet government.
The only comment from Senator
Lodge was that Hapgood's nomina-
ton died with the last session o.
congress and that no recess appoint
ment had been made. The commit
tee secured information several
months ago that provoked such de-
termined opposition to confirmation
of Mr.. Hapgood that Secretary
Lansing was informed the appoint
ment would not be approved. Mem
bers of the committee, It is said,
were prepared, if necessary, to pre-
sent this information to the senate
and possibly to the public.
The information obtained from
Paris, New York and other places is
said reliably to be similar to reports
published that Hapgood interested
himself toward fostering commerce
between American export interests
and those of soviet Russia. The
committee also secured several ar
ticles written by Mr.. Hapgood.

|OMAHA BURGLARY
INSURANCE R ATE|
Humps 20 PER CENT!
Inefficient Police Protection and
Recent Crime Wave Named
Cause.

A 20 per cent increase in the rates
on burglary insurance Tor residence
properties in Omaha is to become
effective Immediately, according te
communication received yesterday
by local insurance men from the
National Burglary Insurance Under.
writer's association of New York.
Because of inefficient police pro-
lection and the great number of bur
glaries and holdups committed here,
and as result of the wholesale op-
erations of criminals in this city, all
burglary insurance on residences,
apartments, dwelling houses and
homes of every character will be ad-
vanced 20 per cent.
Poor Police Protection.
Burglary insurance on valuables
kept in safes and vaults, and in
downtown business horses where
private policemen are employed to
guard the buildings, will not be ad-
vanced .or the present, according to
J. D. Foster, Omaha insurance man.
However" declared Mr.. Foster,
1--WE are looking for increases in the
rates of burglary insurance of every
character"
Local insurance men declare that
the advances are as high or even
higher than the rate paid in some Of
the large eastern cities known as
crime centers.
Because of the demoraIized con-
.dition of the police department here,
and its utter failure to cope with
the local crime wave which has en-
veloped the city for the past 10
months, thousands of home owners
and renters of dwellings will be
forced to pay out thousands Of dol
lars more this year for the protec-
ton of their valuables than they
were called on to pay last year.
Omaha Rated High.
The burglary insurance under
writer's association keeps an acct
rate record Of the burglaries com
united in all of the large cities of
the country and their insurance rates
are fixed with reference to number
and the efficiency of the police de-
partments. Reports of all the bur
glaries committed in Omaha since
Commissioner Ringer assumed the
duties of his office have been made
to the insurance underwriters Office
in New York. They have been care
fully tabulated and compared in
number to the same offenses COM
mitted in other cities.
Local insurance men declare this
is considered one of the very worst
cities in the country from the stand
point of the burglary insurance COM
panies.
"And the saddest feature about the
situation is" asserted Mr.. Foster,
"that the conditions here are getting
worse instead of better. 1t is hard
to tell what the next development
will be-"

BABIES MIXED;
MOTHER FAINTS:
ALL ENDS WELL
Station Master in Role Of
Dashing Hero at the
Burlington Depot.

A comedy drama with two
6-nonth-old babies in leading roles
and Joseph Mix, veteran station mas
ter, cast as the dashing hero was
enacted at the Burlington station
yesterday morning.
The affair started when a we'll
dressed woman, carrying what was
presumably her own child, swathed
i'll many blankets, dismounted from
a Kansas City train and entered the
station. She placed the baby on a
bench and pulled the blankets away
from its face to administer a moth
erly kiss-and promptly tainted.
Station Master Mix rushed to the
rescue and revived the woman with
ice water.
Hes stolen my child' were her
first words as she opened her eyes.
"The man who had the section
across the aisle from me has taken
my baby" she added, struggling to
her feet.
Almost Too Late.
Catch him quick. He just went
up those stairs"
Mix dashed up the stairs and ar
rived at the street entrance just in
time to see well-dressed man, car
rying a bundle of blankets, presuma-
bly, containing his baby, step into
waiting taxi cab and start away.
He made final squirt and sue
ceeded in attracting the cab drivers
attention.
Return that child to its Nowner,"
he commanded sternly, opening the
cab door and addressing the occu-
pant.
'What do you mean?" demanded
the man.
Not for Mr.. Mix.
II mean that you can't get away
with that kidnapping stuff in Omaha"
shouted Mix, shaking a wicked fist
in the mans face.
The man unwrapped the shawls,
looked at the baby he was carrying,
and sank back in the seat with a
wall.
my God" he muttered, some
cne's taken my baby"
Like all successful comedy dramas
this one has a happy ending. The
babies were exchanged, apologies
offered and everybody was happy.
But Mr.. Mix, who is not built for
foot racing, and who was still pant
ing as he told the story two hours
later, insists that the hero stuff is
not for him.

NEW YORK. Dec. 22-Stocks were

apathetio session, the trend Of prices again

problems which overshadow domestic and

important branch Of the list to display a
degree Of strength and animation was the

credited to the passage OF the Cummins

was regarded AZ radically different in its
essentials from the bill adopted by the

Chicago Grain Provisions.

Chicago. Dec. 22.-corn prices had q
downward slant today chiefly as result
of increased receipts and Of prospects Of a
larger crop movement soon. The market
closed steady, at the same as Saturdays
finish to Nc lower, with January $1.36h
to $1.36%, and May sl.33H to $1.33&.
Oats gained II to INC. In provisions the
outcome ransed from Soc decline to soc
advance.
Weakness in the corn market was more
noticeable at the outset than during the
latter trading. The reason for this Diff
ference lay in the fact that considerable
portion Of today's, arrivals could not be
Inspected in time to become burden on
values. Besides, talk Of export demand
for wheat to go to France helped some
what to rally prices and so likewise did
the fact that sterling exchange was firmer.
On the whole, however. bears had the ad-
vantage owing a good deal to signs Of
improved conditions on the railroads. 1t
was generally conceded that the speed Of
the crop movement now depends almost
entirely on the number Of cars the rail-
roads can furnish.
Oats were strengthened by reports that
other markets had sold 100000 bushels to
the seaboard.
Announcement of big exports for the
week made provisions average higher.

Il will take all of your department
if you want to resign, Mr.. FOWL,
but will not take over part of your

solidation why not dispense with the
