HI JOHNSON BEATS

10y Associated Pressl

Omaha, Neb,, April Fl = Re-
turns from one-fourth of the pre-
cincts in yesterdays primary give
Hiram Johnson a lead over Gen.

the republican side. Senator
Hitchcock, democrat, is leading
that division by 4 to |.

ed under as a candidate for dele
gate-at-large to the Democratic
National Convention, and Senator
Hitchcock has received the pres
idential nomination, defeating
Robert Ross, Of Lexington, Neb.
Senator Johnson's lead over his
opponent was apparent when the
first returns came in. Figures in
his favor continued to mount as
additional returns were received.
One Omaha precinct gave John
son 33, Wood 49, and Pershing 10.
First returns from outside
Omaha, douglas county, came
from Grand Island. One precinct
gave Johnson 1o7, Wood 10 and
Pershing IL.
On the democratic side Hitch
cock received 81 and Ross and
other written in" presidential
candidates, 5.
Nebraska women participated
in the primary election. 1t was
the first time they had balloted.
Mr.. Bryan had made strong APP
peal to the women. The returns
indicate that the appeal was un-
needed.
The Bryan slate of four dele
gates at large to the national
convention, has been defeated,
with the possible exception of
one delegate. The democratic
delegation will be instructed for
Hitchcock.
The Senator's friends said that
the result placed Senator Hitch

voters with an endorsement of

ROAD MONEY MUST
Be PUT Up FIRST
Work VIII Not Start On Federal
Highway Until Sum Subsrib-
ed Is In Bank

Delegations from various counties
along the proposed Federal Highway
which comes to Richmond were in
Frankfort Tuesday to consult with
State Road Commissioner Joe S.
Boggs regarding the state and gov
ernment's portion of the expense of
building modern roadway. Different
matters connected with the proposition
were discussed.
1t was impressed upon all who were
present by Mr.. Boggs that the gov
ernment positively will not begin work
on the roadway until every cent SUBJ
scribed has been paid in and certified
to the State Road Department. This
means that all who, made pledges to
Madison,ss pc IT of the fund must place
in their subsetiptions in the State
Bank and Trust Company at once.
This has been designated as the de-
posit6fy an dit will handle and certify
the money as soon as it is received, to
the, State Road Department Members
of the Soliciting committees, who Sc
cured the pledges are preparing to let
all who subscribed know what the con-
ditions are: that work on the highway
positively will not start until every
cent subscribed has been paid in to
the bank here. The State Road De-
partment and Uncle Sam do BUSINESS
on a cash-in-advance system, and as
they are putting up dollar for dollar
with the counties, the justice of their
plan cannot be questioned. So it's up
to those who subscribed the private
fund as to when work on this greatly
needed highway will start in.

SUSPECTED CHECK
ISSUED TUESDAY
Young Man Had Pocket Full
Drawn On Farmers Bank
At Irvine

When young man purchased a
suit of clothing Tuesday and rendered
an undated check on the Farmers
State bank at Irvine, in payment. A
Dobrowsky, First street merchant
became suspicious, as he discovered
that his patron had dozen additional
checks, all signed, in his pocket.
Milking an excuse, he left the store
and took the check to a local bank
where he was advised to communicate
with the bank at Irvine, in order to
ascertain the validity of the paper.
Mr.. Dobrowsky returned to his store
to find the young man gone. The
check was made out to and signed by
"Robert Willowby', Before the de-
parture from the store, the merchant
asked the young man why he carried
so many checks, and the later re-
piled that they were the property of
friends and had been given to him to
get cashed. The check was for thirty
dollars, and the suit of clothing was
priced at twenty five dollars.
Mr.. Dobrowsky later saw the fell
low on the street, he CLANS and
thought that his suspicious may have
been unwarranted, however the
stranger soon vanished.
The paper, now believed to be
worthless, was turned over to Chief
of Police Devore. This is the first at
tempt, number of local merchants
state that has been made for some
time to cash worthless checks here,
the last occurrence having been about
a year ago when a number of spurious
checks for small amounts were put in
here.

FIRST ELEVATOR
IN RETAIL STORE
Richmond Builders Are Crowded
With Work and Present Year
Will Be Big One

Take the elvator, please, second
floor, then to the right sounds rath-
er strange, and to be in a home store
too, doesn't it? That's just what is
coming, for the contract for the first
uptown elevator in retail store has
been let and the work will be started
at once. This will be in the furniture
and music store of the Higgins COM
pany.
The contract which was awarded to
Todd & Sons, local contractors, will
mean, when the work is completed
that there will be new front, an adj
ditional music room, the elevator lead
ing to the upper floors, and other i'm
provements which will render the es-
tablishment up to the minute. 1t is
believed that this will be followed by
other similar improvements of a like
nature in the near future.
Another improvement of note will be
the remodeling of the Allen Earring
home on Summit street, which will be
effected within short time, also by
Todd (, Sons. The present building
will be transformed into modern and
attractive structure, on the bungalo
order, somewhat larger in proportions
than the regulation building of this
character seen in the crowded cities
This will represent the future home of
Mr.. Earring and family.
The work Of finishing the beautiful
home of J. S. Sewel1, on Woodland
avenue will soon be effected and this
will add to the number of attractive
homes in this city. 1t represents q
cost of more than $4,000.
These are but few of the improve
ments which will mark the change
during the present year in the resi-
Dental and business portions of the
city of Richmond. Mr.. Todd & Son
are figuring on other contracts, as
well as other local contractors for
much more improvement work and
they report that this year will prove
model year for building and inn
provement work generally.

STOLE EVERYTHING NOT

Perry's Ford roadster when he left
it on the Lexington pike this side OF
Foxtown Tuesday night. The car got
out of fix and was left at the side of
the road until repairman could
reach it. When the car was found
Wednesday morning, all four tires
were gone, the coils had been remov-
ed, the headlight rims taken off, all
tools gone, globes from the head
lights; in fact "everything that wasn't
nailed down" was taken. 1T is be-
lieved that the thief can be apprehend-
ed if he attempts to sell any of these

"BLOND BOSS" QUITS WOOD

New York, April 21.-Reports that
a serious disagreement had taken
place between Colonel William Cooper
Proctor, of Cincinnati, National Chair
man of the General Wood presidential
campaign, and Frank H. Hitchcock,
whose association with Wood forces
was heralded widely two months ago,
have been in circulation here for
weeks, and resulted yesterday in a
statement from an authoritative
source that the break came almost one
month ago.
1t also was announced in welll-in-
formed circles yesterday that Mr..
Hitchcock no longer was associated
with the Wood campaign.
Details of the ruction are lacking,
but it is known that Colonel Proctor
was not in favor of the engagement of
Mr.. Hitchcock and consented only be-
cause of pressure brought by Wood
leaders, particularly in the Southern
States.
Wood advocates, according to re-
ports, have been inclined to criticize
what they consider to be the autho-
cratic attitude of Colonel Proctor
They say he should have made con-
cessions to hold both John T. King, OF
Connecticut, and Mr.. Hitchcock fol
their wide acquaintance an& know
ledge of practical politics, instead OF
driving them away from the support
of General Wood.
