The first thing the Chicago aldermen
learned about the Seattle lines was that
in buying them the city paid far more
than they were worth. They found also
that in the first nine months OF munich
pal operation the lines produced, not
the expected profit, but a deficit .ot
$51700o, and in the next year q deficit
OF $685.. 00o-a total dehcit Of $1,503. 900

Recently the city council had to make
a loan of $4,000 In order keep the cars
running. and now Seattle ia selling its

LAW BENEFITS

istence, the city planners viii be
able better to carry on their pro-
gram
An appropriation for city plan
work can now be asked for from
the city, a factor which will great

the local commission was organized,
It was necessary to obtain funds
through subscription from organ

lation. the commission may ask for
funds from the city, which it is
expected to do at the beginning of

Henry P. Chandler, attorney for

the Chicago plan commission, in ex-
planning the effect of the new law
in the recent edition of the Illinois
Journal of Commerce says:
Necessarily moderate funds are
required, depending upon the size
of the community and the intricacy
of the problems involved. Under
the act now passed it will be pos
sible for cities next year to appro-
pirate funds for plan commissions,
but 1t may be questioned whether
enough money will be provided in
this way, and certainly il will not
be available now
In most cities up to this time
all or the greater part of such funds
has been raised by subscription.
Certainly the benefits from a city
plan are sufficient to justify any
community which values its future,
in appealing to its public spirited
citizens for financial support at this
juncture."

Mellon said today. Accumulated

Commenting on President Har-
dlng's recent New York speech, in
which the president expressed the
hope that the present form of for
eign obligations might be changed
in reasonable period and distributed
among the people of the country,
Mr.. Mellon said that no plan of that
kind had yet been formulated. All
that the treasury has in mind now,
Mr. Mellon explained, was that these
bonds should be put into shape to
use in exchange or to take up Lib
erty bonds. There was no intention,
he added, of placing foreign obliga-
tions On the market in place OF other
indebtedness.

Small Crowd at

At Beatrice
Audience Hostile to LANCER
League Head Answers
Few Questions With
Witticisms.
By PERCY POWELL.

Beatrice, Neb., May 26. - (Spe.
cial Telegram.) - William LANCER
former attorney general of North
Dakota, again today braved a hostile
audience of Gage county Nonparti-
san leaguers and league sympathizers
in his debate with A. c. Townley
national leader of the Nonpartisan
league. A Beatrice man, who at
tended the meeting stated that there
were not five townspeople present
The audience numbered approx
mately $50 Townley devoted one
half of his time to witticisms, which
always drew heavy applause from
the audience. When lie did not get
it, he waited for it until they did
applaud.
Townley admitted Langer's charge
that he had been a socialist and ran
for the legislature on the socialist
ticket in North Dakota several years
ago.

Il did so because the other parties,
the democratic and republican, were
controlled by grain gamblers and
others, and | could not organize the
farmers through either of those par
ties for a state-owned elevator plat

machine in the socialist party was
loose and had too many nuts in it.
so I started the Nonpartisan league" ;"
In reply to a question by LANCER
concerning his reasons for refusing
to testify to a charge hanging over
him fer alleged activities in discour-
aging the draft, Townley said:
Il had too much sense to go be-
fore framed court. The grain gam
blers and others. through their tools
like this rascal LANCER here, are do
ing everything in their power to put
me in Jail in an attempt to injure the
Nonpartisan league"
Another of Langer's questions an
swered by Townley concerned the
failure of the legislature in North
Dakota to pass an anti-red flag law.
Didn't Need Red Laws.
1--WE did not pass it because we
didn't need it there" he said.
Townley commended The Omaha
Bee for the fair treatment accorded
him by the paper in describing the

Mr.. Burleson is alleged to have
expressed the opinion that President
Harding will not be able to arrange
any peace except through the Yer
sailles treaty.
There is considerable surprise
here that Burleson should come to
Germany and attempt to do business
while the state of war still exists,
particularly after having achieved
the reputation of being one of the
most fanatic anti-Germans. He

Death Penalty in

Michael Licari, Partisan Of

Down by Unknown
Assassin.

Chicago, May 26.-The vengeful
Nineteenth ward went out of bounds
today and took another life in the
bloody political strife that has re-
quired four murders, three bomb
ings and many stabbings and slug
gings to satisfy differences over the
election of one alderman.

a partisan of Tony D'Andrea, then
chief of one political faction, moved
from the Ninteenth ward to a crowd
ed quarter in the "black belt" Lii
carl, it was rurnroed, was marked for
death by friends of two murdered
members of the rival faction headed
by Alderman John Powers.
A few days after Licari moved,
D'Andrea was murdered on his own
doorstep by ambusfed gunner.
Early today, Licari locked the sa-
loon he had purchased when he
moved and walked a short distance
on his way home accompanied by
his negro bartender and several late
patrons. A few blocks from the sa-
loon he left the others and turned
toward his home
Four shots rang through the morn
ing air and neighbors saw the Italian
living on the sidewalk. All four
shots hit Livari, one piercing his
heart. One or two persons saw,
they said. a man wearing white
bartender's apron and carrying
revolver, running away.
Police Immediately rounded up
seven suspects, including the pro-
prietor OF nearby saloon. Late to-
day, however, they admitted they
hal no tangible evidence against any
