HEARING ON INJUNCTION
From Thursdays uany
This morning in the district court.
Judge James T. Begley heard the
application for a temporary injunc
tion in the case of Martha Ahrens
vs. Enno Ahrens, in which the plain
tiff, who is bringing action for di-
Ivorce, sought to restrain the defend
iant, Mr. Ahrens, from disposing of
any property or collecting a sum of
money due for corn sold and deliv
ered to L. J. Marquardt at Avoca.
The plaintiff, Mrs. Ahrens testi-
; fied that the personal property at
their farm home was worth in the
neighborhood of $3,000 and that the
defendant had sold some corn to the
elevator at Avoca, and for which he
had coming $150. Mrs. Ahrens also
testified that she had removed a part
of her household belongings to her
parent's home, when she had return
ed there.
For the defendant, his attorney,
D. O. Dwyer, represented to the court
that the granting of the injunction
would deprive the defendant of any
possible manner of raising funds
that might be exacted in the divorce
action and to take away the source
of his income would make it impos
sible to carry on his farming or set
tle up his financial affairs.
The plaintiff contended that the
defendant had stated that he would
sell out and leave this locality, and
on this based the claim for the in
junction. After hearing the evidence and the
arguments of the attorneys. Judge
Begley entered an order granting the

injunction as far as it covered the
sale of any farm implements or stock
on the farm and denied the portion
asking the restraining of the plain
tiff from disposing of corn or grain
or collecting for sales already made,
and which covered the sum due
from the sale of corn to the Avoca
elevator.
WAS OFFERED BRIBE TO
PASS ON OBSCENE FILM
Washington, Jan. 15. Mrs. Eve
lyn Frances Snow of Mont Vernon,
O., told the national motion picture
conference here today that fihe lost
her job as chairman of the Ohio
board of censors because she refused
to pass a picture for which she had
been offered a trip to Europe and a
"fine automobile."
Motion picture officials, she said.
came "crawling on their knees to me
to permit the showing of an obscene
film." and money offers were mads
in efforts to obtain approval of pic-r
tures that were "highly immoral."
At one time, she declared, a "dead
ly acid" was placed in her office.
which "inflicted scars on me that I
will carry to my grave."
Mrs. Snow's speech was in reply
to one delivered by Mrs. Robbins Gil-
man, assistant secretary oi ine
Woman's Co-operative Alliance of
Minneapolis, in which she charged
censorship does not accomplish the
desired object.
OMITS PROPERTY
TAX LAW HAS NOT
BEEN OBSERVED
State Board Says Northwestern Rail
road Filed Its Appeal in Federal
Court Too Late for Help.
Frank admission is made by Hush
Lamaster. attorney for the state
board of assessment and equalization,
in answer fileel Wednesday to the
suit in federal court brought by the
Northwestern railway, that the 1?
requiring all property to be assessed
at its full value is not enforced by
the taxing authorities of the state.
The Northwestern says its prop
erty is worth 30 million.-?, the board
assessed it at 39 millions and now
avers that it is worth 62 millions.
The board says that when the rail
road company says farm lands are
assessed at around 5S per cent it is
mistating the fact. Farm lands ave
now assessed at about 75 per cent
of their actual value, and the same
percentage holds true with respect
to other property. Farm lands, K
is also said, declined about a third
in value during the deflation period,
and the figures the Northwestern
has gathered to support its c,'aim do
not represent existing conditions.
The state denies that any plan
of discrimination against the rail
roads is followed nor has any din
crimination resulted from its find
ings. While all property is assessed
at less than value, that of railroads
is not figured at any sum in excess
of what is a proportionate figure for
them. ,
The claim is also made that the
railroad is stopped from maintaining
this suit because it delayed takir.
the matter into the courts for adjud
ication until after the taxes had been
extended on the books of the county
treasurers.
Similar answers are being filed
in other railroad tax cases in the
federal court.
KLAN BUYS FORMER
LINCOLN CLUBHOUSE
Permanent Headquarters to Be
Established at the State
Capital.
Lincoln Jan. 15. Permanent
headquarters of the Ku Klux Klan in
Nebraska will be established hcxe v.t
once, it was announced today by J
P. Plummer, national field secretary
of the organization. Announcement
of Lincoln as the hub of state activi
ties was coincident with a statement
that the klan had purchased the old
Lincoln Country club building for a
consideration of $25,000.
The sale was made to the klan by
Woods Brothers company. Plans call
for the remodeling of the building at
once, Plummer said. It will be the
scene of all state conventions , in the
future, including the convention
planned for June of this year. It if
expected that state officers of the or
ganization will move to Lincoln to
take up their klan activities.
The building is a former show
place of Lincoln and was at one time
the home of former Governor Butler
Itl was abandoned by the Country
club on the completion of its new
club house and golf course in south
Lincoln.
BLIZZARD BLOCKS
SEARCH FOR BODY
Estes Park, Colo., Jan. 15. In the
teeth of a-raging blizzard, seven men
today are battling their way up the
face of Long' Peak to search fur
ther for Ilerb.-it Sortland, lost mem
ber of last Monday's rescue party.
I and to bring down the frozen body of
j Miss Agnes Valle. who lost her life
I in the course of a climb to the sutn
! mit, in company with Walter Kiener
last Sunday. Sortland was lost while
searching for Miss Vaille and Kiener.
While weather prevailing at the
base of the peak was comparatively
; mild today, It was predicted that sub
zero temperatures, even, lower that
the mark of 50 degrees below zero,
would be encountered by the party as
it ascended.
Members of the party, however, ex
pressed no hope that Sortland would
be found alive and declared their
task probably would consist bf bring
ing to Long's Peak inn the body of
Miss Vaille, and that of Sortland, if
it could be found. I
AMERICA IS
POTENTIAL
AIR LEADER
Money and Genius to Put U. S. Ahead
of Other Nations in Aviation
Are Available Here.
New York, Jan. 15. Money and
genius for an air program that would
put the United States in the lead of
any other nation is available in this
country, yet, in performance, the na
tion is far behind France, England,
and Japan.
This was the burden of testimony
today before the congressional sub
committee of inquiry into the United
States air service.
Witnesses declared American de
signers had developed types of air
planes military and commercial
which for their respective purposes
could not be equaled by other na
tions. They told of the majority of
world records for aircraft which the
United States holds; of the operation
of the air mail, "the greatest com
mercial service in the world," of pri
vate flying in western states which
outdid similar activities in any other
country; of the readiness of bankers
and business institutions to utilize
aerial transportation.
Commercial Flying Dead.
Nevertheless, commercial aviation
in the United States is threatened
with death in its infancy, witnesses
testified. The biggest aircraft manu
facturers are being driven from the
field according to witnesses who held
the government chijfly responsible
because it not only failed to co-operate
with private airplane manufac
turers but actually competed with
them to a disasturous degree.
Representative Randolph Perkins
of New Jersey, subcommittee chair
man, declared at the outset that he
intended to lo;d the inquiry away
from the investigation of government
air service financing which charac
terized the Washington sittings, to
ward a search for a constructive plan
in which the government and private
resources ecu Id join in creating a
powerful commercial and military
program.
Graft Charge Probed.
Representative Frank R. Reid of
Illinois insisted. however, upon
searching each witness for knowledge
concerning "the $433,000,000 the
government spent on the air service
between 1920 and 1924." lie frankly
stated that he was trying to learn
"what, if anything, the government
rot for this money" and whether, if
at all, private aircraft interests were
aided, by such, an expenditure, jn
their struggles to "get America into
the air." ,
The first testimony to go into the
record was a letter - from Arthur
Brisbane, publicist, in reply to a re
ejuest that he testify. He said his at
titude on the air question was well
enough known: that the United
States should take warning from the
great air activity displayed by
France. England and Japan the lat
ter espicially; that "although future
wars will be won or lost in the air
we are as unprepared as Germany;'
that we should "stop this nonsense
of building $45,000,000 battleships
to serve as targets for bombers," and
acquire a,t once, even if they had to
be purchased abroad, 2,000 of the
best fighting nlanes that can be
made."
GOVERNMENT NEEDS PRINTERS,
Washington, D. C. Jan. 16. The
United States Civil Service Commis
sion states that the Government is
in urgent need of monotype key
board operators for the Government
Printing Office at Washington. There
is less urgent need, although a con
stant demand, for linotype operators.
The rate of pay recently has been
increased to a minimum of $1 an
hur. It may be further increased to
1.05 whenever the ratings of opera
tors, as determined by the Public
Printer, shall justify. Employees are
paid extra for Sunday, holiday, and
night work.
Full information and application
blank3 may be obtained from the
United States Civil Service Com
mission, Washington, D. C, or the
secretary of the United States Civil
Service Board at the post office or
customhouse in any city.
THIS WAS MARK'S ANSWER
Mark Twain in his early days was
employed on a Missouri newspaper.
A superstitious subscriber wrote in,
saying that he had found a spider in
his paper, and asked whether that
was a sign of good or bad luck. The
humorist wrote this answer and
printed it:
"Old Subscriber: Finding a spider
in your paper was neither good nor
bad luck for you. The spider was
merely looking over your paper to see
which merchant is not advertising,
so that he can go to that store, spin
his web across the door, and IiVe a
life of undisturbed peace ever after
ward." Team Work.
PROMPT IN HER PAYMENTS
Paris, Jan. 15. Germany has for
once got ahead of her engagements
in the payment of reparations. The
transfer committee under the Dawes
plan, which met here today, found
that deliveries in kind made since
the Dawes plan went into effect
amount to 22,000.000 gold marks
more than the total expected. The
expectancy was about 83,000,000
gold marks monthly. The overpay
ment, it was said, came about thru
the collections of the recovery taxes
by France and Great Britian.
The amounts : thus collected are
repaid to Germany by the agent gen
eral for reparations from sums col
lected under the Dawes plan. Differences-arise
because it is impos
sible to estimate exactly the total
these recoveries will amount to in
any one month.
