Move is Started
To Abolish Rail
Administration
Attempt Will Be Made in
Senate to Transfer Remain
ing Work to Other Cov-
ernment Departments.

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, April 9.-The Inter
state Commerce commission will en-
deavor to work out plah TO abolish
the railroad administration entirely
and save the government the large
outlay of money required for the
maintenance of this bureau.
The functions of the railroad ad-
ministration arc confined now solely
to the liquidation of claims CROWN 3
out of the government operation OF
the railroads during the war A
large and expensive bureau is being
maintained for this purpose. Sena-
tors believe that these functions can
be transferred TO some other agency,
probably to the auditor in the Treas
ury department or the court OF
claims.
President Harding continued his
inquiry into the railroad financial
situation. His only conferee on the
subject was L. E. Shepard, president
Of the Order of Railway Conduc-
tors. Mr. Shepard advised strongly
against any general reduction OF
wages.
Mr.. Shepard said that abrogation
of present contracts would be GER
tain to work hardships on the men
and still further confuse the trans
portation problem.
Three vacancies on the United
States labor board which will occur
April IS are also giving the presi.
dent serious concern. Many names
have been suggested, but the list, it
is said, has been narrowed down to
half a dozen available men.

Questions Rife
AS to Name of New

lating on Suitable Title.

What will be the name OF the new
Ak-Sar- show? y
Will It be "The Bootleggers" Para
disc" Omaha in Carala" OF AK
Sar-Ben Pastime,' as suggested by
various leaders of Ak Sar-Bcn?
Speculation as to the adoption of
an attractive and appropriate name
for the musical comedy by King AXIS
subjects is rife among the members
of the executive committee.
Last year the show was called
Wash Day on the Moon" Previous
years saw such titles as The Isle of
Pep" Gym Khana" and Patricia
Snitzel." ...
If the decision were left to Charles
Gardner, secretary of Ak-Sar-Ben,
Gus Renz's new show would be
called "The Cornhuskers' Delight"
he said.
Gus himself would name it Omaha
Bound"
Everett Buckingham suggests
THE Stockyards Revue"
However, a high-sounding and ap-
pealing title is promised the new
show when it makes its debut at the
Den on the night Of May 23, said
Charles Gardner.
"We'll find a name" he said.

President Still
Sees Loophole
For Bonding Go,
Hopes to Induce Easterner to
Buy Controlling Interest;
Firm May Escape Re-
cciyer by Another Plan.

f. K. Gurncy, president OF th'
Lion Bonding and Surety company
said yesterday afternoon that he still
has several plans by which to keel
the company operating without as
sistance. He had long conference
yesterday with Attorney General Da-
Wis and state insurance commission
ers. Q
Il went to Chicago a few DAYS ago
to see a big insurance operator who
wanted to get a controlling interest
in company" said Mr.. Gurney
"Wllen ! arrived there ! heard things
concerning this man which convinced
ME he was not the kind of man we
want in our company.
Alfred N. Best, one of the big
gest insurance men in the world,
called me by telephone while | was
there and told me OF a man in New
York city, very big man, who
wants just such company as this.
He got into communication with
him and this man is to have a con-
ference. | would not be surprised TO
see him on the ground here very
shortly. The proposition is for him to
purchase 90 per cent of the stock
of the company.
- Firm Solvent.
"Wc are perfectly solvent aiid get
ting better every day. Insurance is
the only business in which you can
do so much as to make yourself ap-
pear poor on the books. This is very
plain because on the books we have
TO charge as liabilities all the insur-
anee we would have to pay. But
our debts expire by limitation, not
having TO be paid like debts you owe
to the grocer. Policies written a year
ago today expire today and so on. If
we would just run along without
writing any new business for three
or four months we would be all
right"
Another plan has been broached
to the attorney general since the con-
ference of yesterday, Mr.. Gurney
said. 1t is for the company to pull
out" of all other states but Nebras-
ka and run its business here under
temporary direction of the state in
surance board until it has rigIted it
self. The attorney general is said
to have heartily endorsed this idea.
Hopes Receiver Unnecessary.
II hope we can tide over without
any receiver, because this is child
of mine" said Mr.. Gurney. "And this
company is worth a lot to Omaha.
Last year we spent approximately
$4,000 for printing. $4,000 for ad-
vertising, $4,000 for postage, tele-
grams and telephones, 10000 for trav-
cling mems salaries. besides a payroll
of S144,78o to our other employees.
"And we are financially sound at
core and can get on Our feet without
much assistance or indulgence"
Mr.. Gurney said the outstanding
premiums of the company April l
were $558,000. The unearned premi-
ums on that date were $80o.000.
The company's affairs have been
in the hands of Insurance Examiner
Bailey since last Monday. Examiners
from five other states have been here
also.

Russian Family Joins Relative

Bolshcyist Tcrrors at
Semforopol.
Says Kerensky Rule Best

Helm Marcus, 40, his wife and six
children ranging in ages from to
Is years, arrived in Omaha Saturday
after six-weeks' journey from their
home in Senforopol, Russia. The
family left Russia because of the
turmoil now existing between the
bolsheviki and anti-reds. Continual
fighting and pickering and the con-
slant danger of facing separation and
death influenced the father TO bring
his family to America and make his
future home with his brother, Fl.
Marcus. l94l Vinton street.
Marcus home town is just four
hours ride on the train from Seyas-
topol, yet it took him several days
to make the journey. The train was
stopped at nearly every station by
different factions and the travellers
forced TO wait until permission to
continue their journey had been
given.
After reaching Scvastopol, the
Marcus family took boat to Con-
stantinople and later sailed for New
York.

my brother has not words to ex-
press Lis feelings about America. He
can't realize that over here he doesn't
need to be afraid of spies and secret
police and that he can express his
opinion about bolshevik and Rus
sian affairs without fear"
While Helm Marcus was being
interviewed, he kept casting furtive
glances over his shoulders, and
speaking in low voice caused from
years OF cautious speech in Russia.
Z Against Czarism.
Marcus said the common people
of Russia are against czarism for
ever and that an attempt to estab-
lsh ruler in Gar Nicholas place
will not be successful. He said the
bolshevik program of goyernmentwas
too idealistic and not understood by
the common people. The good
things of the government are of no
value as the bolsheviks have not the
power to enforce their laws. lie said

from his home town. They told him
Lenine had recently lectured there
and the people gave great demon
stration in his honor. Marcus said
there was nothing to the report that
Lenine and Trotsky had been forced
TO flee.
According 10 Marcus the govern
ment under kerensky was the besst
Russia ever experienced.

Irerch government.
