FIERY CROSS OB
SERVED IN FOUR
NEBRASKA TOWNS
Plattsmouth Loan and
Building Association
Lights Go Out at Oak as Crosses on
Street Corners Blaze and Ke
a.ppear as Burned Out.
Krorn Tuesday's Dally
The fiery cross, symbolic of the Ku
Klux Klan. blazed Saturday night in
at least four Nebraska towns on the
eve of elections. Doniphan, a town
twelve miles south of Grand Island,
Oak, Beaver City and Fremont all
reported demonstrations.
At Oak, Neb., the lights of the
town went suddenly out at 8:30 p.
m., and a burning cross flared up
on ea ih of the four streets leading
i to the main business corner. About
one thousand people saw the symbol.
When the cross burned out the lights
came on again. No other demonstra
tion was made.
Fiery crosses flared up on four
I ills near Beaver City on Saturday
: t. Telephone poles were used,
.he uprights and cross pieces being
.'i:ked with kerosene.
Fremont was illuminated by the
blaze from a dozen or more fiery
cresses which suddenly burst forth
into flames in front of all of the
public buildings and school houses.
The crosses, which stood twelve feet
high and were constructed of metal,
had been saturated in oil. Crowds
thered wherever they burned, but
there was no demonstration.
Efforts to ascertain when the
crosses had been placed, or who set
them afire were unsuccessful. The
police were silent on the subject.
lations on the result of the Wash
ington conference which limited it
self to limitation of capital ships al
ready practically obsolete."
Senator Swanson, democrat, Vir
ginia, called attention to the privi
sion in the navy appropriation bill
suggesting a limitation conference.
"Fifty-four nations are now in
conference on the subjects you list,"
he said, "and have invited us to at
tend. Would you object to our par
ticipating?" "I refuse to be drawn into a de
bate on the league of nations," re
plied Senator Pepper.
The presence of Russia at the
league conference "prevents our en
tering", suggested Senator Borah.
"Oh, it might prevent Secretary
Hughes going, but not some other
representative," replied Senator
Swanson.
Senator Copeland. democrat, New
York, declared a conference on re
storation of world trade was far more
important.
Replying to Senator Robinson,
Senator Pepper said that altho sev
eral republican senators, including
Chairman Lodge, of the foreign rela
tions committee, had been consulted
regarding the resolution, .'none of
them are committed to it."
Washington, April 3. Import
ance of corn production is minimized
in America and a minimum rice of
$1 a bushel placed on corn would
stabilize agriculture quicker than a
minimum price on wheat, according
to Congressman John H. Morehead
of Nebraska, in an address in the
lower house.
The Nebraska congressman based
his belief on the fact that wheat is
grown all over t:ie world, which, he
asserts, would make it iliiui-mt tor
the United States to fix the price of
the world wheal market. He also
said that 7 5 per cent of the world's
output of corn is grown in this coun
try, thus making it much easier for
the United State- to fix a world price
on corn. He daringly took a slap at
the efforts of farm organiaztions to
control crop prices, denying that
they would ver be practical for sal
vation of the farmer.
"For many years," Morehead said.
"I have watch.' d farm organizations
but they are not getting results.
They are scattered over too much
territory to be succesM'ully organ
ized. Would "Take Chance"
"I shall vote for the MeNary
Haugen bill, as the desperate condi
tion of the farmers justifies taking a
chance, but. I am not fully persuaded
that relief will come with its pas
sage. "If a minimum price of 1 per
bushel was fixd on corn all corn
producing states would be removed
from wheat rodurtion and few cat
tle and boss would be raised in the
same states until prices of beef and
pork were in keeping with the price
of corn. and. if the tariff prevents im
portation of wheat, practically all of
the wheat raised would be for home
consumption.
Focd Value Great
"No eood reason can be advanced
why other nations should regulate
prices on a product grown almost ex
clusively in the United States. I no
tice one company manufactures 75
by-products from corn.
"I would urge a systematic adver
tising of food values of corn and its
by-products by sending agents to all
non-corn producing eoutnries as was
done by necessity during the war." j
: From Wednesday's Daily
There has been many of the resi
dents of the city who have in the last
few weeks offered the suggestion
that one of the big improvement
plans of the present year in the city
should be the construction of a per
manent sidewalk from the main part
of the city to Oak Hill cemetery so
that those who desire to visit the
city of the silent to work with lov
ing care on the last resting place
of their dear ones may make the
journey there without having to
wade through mud in wet weather
and dust and gria;e in the long dry
summer months.
The walks are very good, or soon
will be, as far as the NeoratKa Ala
sonic Home on Washington avenue
and Elm street and from this point
the work of making the line of per-
j manent walk would have to be tak
en up and there are doubtless many
of the property owners along the line
of walk wiio would be ready and
willing to get into the movement at
once for a new and serviceable walk
I out to the cemetery.
1 In the extreme western parts of
! the city there are many large tracts
of land that would cause an incon
venience to the property owners to
place a walk and in this case one of
the hading citizens of the city has
suggested that it would not be out
side of the possibilities to have sub
scriptions advanced that would help
care lor the construction of the
walk.
There are many, many people who
are not fortunate enough to possess
cars that would take them out to the
cemetery to care for their lots and
graves and this is also the class that
pays most frequent visits to the cem
etery and they should have some
means of traveling there that would
be a walked placed that would be
possible in good and bad weather
alike and not compel the persons who
desire to visit the beautiful city of
the silent to drag through mud and
weeds to reach there or tramp along
the roadway in place of suitable
walks.

PEPPER LAUNCHES
A NEW PEACE PLAN
Would Have President Take Initia
tive in International Meeting
Pioposal is Debated.
Washington, April 7. A joint
resolution proposing a world peace
conference was introduced today by
Senator Pepper, republican, Penn
Bylvania. The senate would advise
the president, under the resolution,
that the time is suitable for the as
sembling of a conference similar to
the two held in the past at The
Hague.
The resolution set out these three
things to be considered: Further re
duction of all armaments; means of
emphasizing the importance and in
fluence of national law and plans for
establishing and strengthening a
"world court along the lines of The
Hague peace tribunal."
In a brief explanation Senator
Pepper said the economic feature
had been deliberately left out be
cause It was covered in a similar
resolution by Senator Borah, republi
can. Idaho. The proposal for discus
sion of a world court, he said, was
intended to obviate the necessity for
attempting to satisfy the Widely di
verse views upon the league of na
tions." The democratic leader, Senator
Robinson of Arkansas, said he agreed
there was need of another arms con
ference, but added: "I don't agree
there was any ground for congratu-
Lincoln, April 5. Walter Sim
mons, condemned murdered, lost his
last chance for leniency from the su
preme court Saturday when his peti
tion for a rehearing was denied and
his death warrant sent to Warden W.
T. Fenton of the state penitentiary.
This warrant, prepared and for
warded by Harry Lindsay, clerk of
the supreme court, calls for the
death of Simmons in the electric
chair on May 23.
The only thing that now stands
between the condemned man and
death is favorable action by the
board of pardons and paroles, who
will give Simmons a special hearing
on April 15 at the state penitentiary.
If his sentence is affirmed, Sim
mons will be the fourth convict to
die in the electric chair.
The executioner selected for the
killing of Simmons is William S. Gil
bert of Trenton, S. J., but Warden
Fenton will await the hearing of the
pardons board before making his
final preparations for the execution.

A total of 1,350 samples of seed
have been tested in the state labora
tories since January 1, 250 more
than last year.
Among the worst samples of seed
tested were:
A sample of red clover from Saun
d:T3 county, which included 49.5
per cent green fox tail, with only
19 per cent of the clover germinat
ing. Red clover from Cass county,
which was S:.75 per cent pure, con
taining both Canadian thistle and
dodder, and with a germination of
but 2 per cent.
Alfalfa from Burt county, which
contained Russian thistle, lamb's
Quarters, red clover and other seeds,
and 6.5 per cent dodded, which is
