sumed their arguments.

Vanderbilt went to Wahoo and sur
rendered to the county officials.
Smith was brought to a Fremont
hospital for treatment. He was later
transferred to a hotel where his
wife and baby are with him. He
is being kept prisoner until able
to stand trial at Wahoo.

breaking the windshield, but not in

ward the building on the corner,
crashed into the structure, knocking
out the heavy iron support and caus-
ing shower of bricks to fall upon
the flremen who were hurled from

fremen, is the father of an 11-day-o1d
boy, Wayne.

accident reached her. She held her
kiddies tight in her arms for mo-
ment, then became calm.
Il hope John gets well so he can
see Wayne grow up" she said. "He
was so proud OF our little son. But
if death must come to him now, |
would rather it would be that way
than to have him burned in a fire."

The decision to take this action
was reached only after much con-
sideration by clearing house officials,
bankers said yesterday. IL will
save Omaha banks thousands Of dol
lars monthly, il is declared.
Heretofore, Omaha banks have
been crediting checks on out-state
banks at face value when deposited,
although il was often four and FIVE
days before they received the pro-
ceeds Of the checks, bankers cx-
planned.
Heavy Losses.
Officials OF two large Omaha
banks said yesterday their banks
lost $1,000 a month and sometimes
more because of exchange deductions
made by out-state banks on these
checks.
Under the new arrangement,
checks on mon par points" in Nc
braska--on banks which deduct ex-
change charges--will be entered for
collection. When the collection pro-
cess is completed the banks will
credit the endorser with the net pro-
ceeds of the check.
The new system probably will re-
duce greatly the number of out-state
non-par points, Omaha bankers say.
No similar action ever has been
taken by the clearing house associa-
ton, it was said yesterday.
"Non-Par" Banks Listed.
A list of mon par" Nebraska banks
has been made, and is being mailed
to. clearing house banks by the
Omaha Clearing House association.
1t reads:
'Inasmuch as we cannot handle

after March IS, 1922, but will handle
them as collections, with the under
standing that they are to be sent

This was the declaration here to-

convention OF the National Merchant
Marine association.
The proposition" he continued in
concluding a thorough discussion OF
Americas merchant marine position,
resolves itself 10 very simple one
and that is:
IAN American merchant marine
with aid, or surrender TO foreign
flags without aid. :"
Mr.. Chamberlain, whose speech
followed within few days Presi-
dent Harding's message TO congress
urging government subsidies to up
build the national merchant marine.
declared that the future could only
be judged by the past.
Aid Has Upbuilded Fleet.
"Wherc governmental aid has
heretofore been given" he said, or
proper restrictions placed upon the
carriage OF our commerce in tor
eicn. bottoms, it has resulted in the
upbuilding OF an American mer-
chant fleet, but where that aid has
not been given or where restric-
tions have been removed, foreign
ships have oustripped us in the
worlds business. :.
There are many reasons tor tilis'
but the essential ones are the high
cost of ship construction due TO
higher wages paid to American Ia
borcrs in American shipyards, the
higher cost of operation of Amer
ican ships due to higher wages pad
70 aud more boeral treatment OF
American seamen. better equipment
for health and safety at sea, and II
these standards are to be maintained
either aid must be given to Ameri-
Can shipping or the differential now
