MEDICAL men
AND THE PRESS
Newspaper Declared Greatest Medinm
for Education on Health Mat
ters in Country Today.
Chicago, March 12. Calling- the
newspaper the greatest medium for
medical education of the public, Dr.
Morris Fishbein. editor of the Jour
nal of the American Medical associa
tion, analyzed the press accounts of
medi'.al news before members of the
American medical association today
at the closing session of the annual
congress on medical education, licen
sure, public health and hospitals. Dr.
Fishbein laid particular emphasis on
the tendency of newspapers to print
"new" discoveries that are not new
or in any way established.
'The cures for tuberculosis, for
canee;- aul for pneumonia have be
come the bane of medical life," he
said. "The moment such announce
ments are broadcast, physicians are
besieged by patients for information
which they are unable to give be
cause the newness of the discovery
does not warrant any accurate judg
ment." Dr. Fishbein flayed the "publicity
hound," saying "due to lack of scien
tific knowledge, the average reporter
falLs an easy prey to the medical ex
ploiter of the press. In this way,
these men take advantage of the pub
lic's desire for scientific news for in
dividual gain.
"The newspapers try to play fair
with their readers, but it often be
comes a question of whether the best
judgment has been used.
"I think I am safe in saying that
the medical education of the public
is the one certain method of over
coming the evils of quackery, of cul
tism, and of medical fraud."
Gus Koop and wife departed this
morning for Council Bluffs, where
they were called to look after some
matters of business.

PRESIDENT C00L
IDGE IS FIGHTING
FOR HIS NOMINEE
Senate Committee Reports Against
Confirmation of Charles
Beecher Warren.
Washington, March 13. President
Coolidge passed along the word today
to administration leaders In the sen
ate to fight and fight hard for con-
firmation of his nomination of
! Charles B. Warren to be attorney
general.
Undismayed by the action of the
judiciary committee earlier In the
day in ordering an adverse report'on
the nomination, 9 to 7, after having
approved it twice before, the execu
tive called in several senate leaders
tonight to impress upon them his
earnest desire, that Mr. Warren's
qualifications be vigorously present
ed in the senate when the nomina
tion Is called up again tomorrow In
open session. The president threw
the full weight of his personal influ
ence behind the nomination, his con
ferees including Senator Borah of
Idaho and McMaster of South Da
kota, two of the republicans who. re
fused to follow the party organiza
tion when the appointment was re
jected by the senate last Tuesday on
a tie vote.
Slight Hope df Confirmation
Republican leaders were hopeful
that there might be a change In the
result, but their latest canvasses in
the senate still indicated that they
would be worse off than they were on
the first vote. Attention was called
that several opponents absent then
would be present tomorrow. They
are making last effort, however, to
pair up some of their absentees and
so dissipate some of this potential
strength for the other side.
With the adverse report from the
committee, opponents will hold a
parliamentary advantage on the floor
since they will have charge of the
report. They still were undecided
tonight as to the exact course they
would follow in making the fight,
but Senator Walsh, democrat, Mon
tana, said he might demand a
straight-out vote on confirmation in
which event a tie vote would mean
rejection.
The question of constitutional au
thority of the president to resubmit
the nomination was raised In the
committee, but it was not pressed,
and pending further examination of
the authorities opponents were un
determined whether they would seek
to make this an issue in the senate.
May Go Over to Next Week
At the time the report was sub
mitted to the senate in executive ses
sion late today, by Senator Walsh,
there was a general expectation of j
a' vote tomorrow, but with President
Coolidge insisting that evidence be
presented to refute the charges made
in the. debate last Tuesday in con
nection with the "6ugar trust" in
vestigation and trial, it was regard
ed later as likely a vote might be
forced over to next week.
After the senate adjourned, Presi
dent Coolidge first summoned Chair
man Cummins of the judiciary com
mittee, and Senator Butler of Massa
chusetts to the White House. He
conferred with them for an hour and
then called in Senator Watson of
Indiana, and Solicitor General James
M. Beck, acting head of the depart
ment of justice.
The committee vote today follows:
For a favorable report: Cummins,
Iowa; Ernst, Kentucky; Spencer,
Missouri; Means, Colorado; Harreld,
Oklahoma; Deneen, Illinois, and Gil
lett, Massachusetts, all republicans.
Against a favorable report: Borah,
Idaho; Norris, Nebraska, republi
cans; Overman, North Carolina;
Reed, Missouri; Ashurst, Arizona;
Walsh. Montana; Caraway, Arkan
sas; King, Utah, and Neely, West
Virginia, democrats.
Senator Overman previously had
voted for confirmation both in the
committee and In the senate.
HOUSE VOTES TO SPLIT
AUTO TAX FIFTY-FIFTY
"Farm Bloc" Wins Victory as Effort
to Defeat "Bait" Measure Beat
en by Decisive Vote.
Lincoln. March 13. The farm
bloc in the lower house won a victory
today when the measure dividing au
tomobile license tax money, equally
between counties and Btate was pass
ed by a vote of 72 to 13.
This measure had been held out to
the farm bloc as a bait In return for
votes to give the state all of the rev
enue from the gasoline tax, but today
Representative Bailey of Thayer,
chairman of the house roads commit
tee, moved to kill the "bait" measure.
Instantly, Representative Reece of
Cherry was on his feet with a charge
that Bailey was attempting to "douh
le cross" the farm bloc.
"We gave you all the gas tax
money and you promised to give
us half the license money," he
said. -
Storm of Protest
There was a storm of protest again
st Bailey's proposal.
After heated discussion the house
overruled Bailey's motion and passed
the measure after Representative
Keck of Folk had attached an amend
ment permitting counties to use halt
their share of the license money for
upbuilding of county roads, Instead
of using it all for maintenance of
state highways.
Representative Wood of Omaha
tried to get 'through an amendment
giving Omaha half of Douglas coun
ty's share of license money for use
on Omaha streets, but when repre
sentatives of other towns in the state
asked for the same thing, the pro
posal was voted down. Wood said
the Douglas county commissioners
had a surplus In their fund even
when they received only 25 per cent
of the license money.
Two Support "Farm Bloc"
-Representatives Gllmore and Har
rington, who- stood with Bailey as
leaders In the fight for the gasoline
tax program, deserted him when he
proposed to kill the "bait" measure,
They voted with the farm bloc,
Among the twelve who voted with
Bailey, the majority were from Doug
las county.
Incidentally, the bill as advanced
carried a provision that all federal
aid work after November 9, 1926, Is
to be done under state supervision,
thus preventing the counties from
matching federal aid.
Mrs. Gillespie of Sarpy offered In
fun an amendment that any Douglas
county funds remaining after that
county's roads had been taken care
of be used for Improving highways
in Sarpy. It, too, failed to receive a
second.
The Axtell bill, increasing from 1
to 2 mills the levy which municipal
ities may allow aid to bands and
other musical organizations, received
only 41 affirmative votes to 53 nega
tive, when called up for passage.
The most important of the bills
passed was one providing for the ap
pointment of a road overseer at the
annual township meeting. He is now
appointed after the annual session of
the township.
Another of the measures nassed
was that of the Douglas county mem
bers specifying the duties of the
Omaha municipal court clerk.
Cosmetics Bill MUed
Friday the thirteenth proved un
lucky for only five bills considered
by the house today, while eleven
found favor with the committee of
the whole and were advanced to
third reading.
The most important of the meas
ures discarded were the cosmeticans'
bill and the Bailey bill, permitting
trapshooting on Sunday. The former
Introduced by Stone, of Douglas, pro
vided for licensing, of hairdressers
and cosmeticans by a state board,
and was indorsed by proprietors of
beauty parlors.
The merits and demerits of cigarets
entered into the discussion preceding
advancement of Mr. Stone's bill to
permit billboard advertising of the
smokes. Miss Muir's motion to kill
was decisively beaten on a viva voce
vote.
The Caldwell bill extending pro
visions of the service letter act to
men employed under contractors not
working for the state was discarded,
as was another of Caldwell's requir
ing employers to pay discharged men
the day they are deprived of further
employment. The latter measure had
been amended in committtee to ap
ply only to contractors.
The Douglas county municipal
court salary boosts bill was advanced
to its third reading over the motion
of Keck to kill it. It increases the
judge's pay from $2,500 to 13,500 a
year and the clerks' from $2,000 to
$2,700 a year. Mr. Keck referred to
the senate's action a few days ago
in killing several proposed Douglas
county pay hikes, and thought that
this time the house should save the
upper branch the time and trouble.
The house followed the senate in
adjourning until Monday afternoon.
COLOGNE EVACUATION
IS ADVISED AGAINST
Chamber Committee Insistent France
Get Guarantees From the
Allies.
Paris, March 12. The security
problem in all its aspects was dis
cussed tonight by the foreign rela
tions committee of the chamber at a
meeting to which exceptional import
ance is attached. M. Franklin-Bouil
lon presided, and representatives of
all the parties were present, includ
ing Louis Loucheur, Paul Boncour
and Albert Milhaud. A statement is
sued after the meeting announced
that the committee had reached unan
imous conclusions without specifying
what they were.
"It Is understood, however, that all
the committee men were agreed that
the Cologne must not be evacuated
until Germany had fulfilled her dis
armament obligations and France had
obtained from her allies effective
guarantees for her security.
The committee further was of the
opinion that if non-ratification of the
Versailles treaty by the United States
made null and void the tripartite
agreement whereby the United States
and Great Britain bound themselves
to come to the aid of France in case
of unprovoked German aggression. It
still remains true that "the stipula
tions of the treaty concerning the
left bank of the Rhine do not insure
France suitable security and protec
tion," to use the words of the pre
amble of the tripartite agreement.
The committee will, therefore, ask
the government to remedy this situ
ation by means of interallied agree
ments MAYBE SO, MAYBE SO

MINORITY SENDS
BOOTLEGGER BILL
TO CONFERENCE
House Group Able to do This Be
cause Measure Lacked Three
Votes to Concur.
Representative Rodman and 29
other house members put a block
under the wheels of H. R. 177, the
professional bootlegger bill which
passed the senate Wednesday, by
mustering enough votes to prevent
concurrence by the house in the sen
ate amendments. These amendments
amounted to merely a change in the
phraseology, but the fact that the
senate changed the house bill gave
its opponents a peg to hang their ob
jections onto.
The bill carried the emergency
clause and this meant that 67 votes
were necessary to concur in the sen
ate amendments. There were but 64
affirmative votes. The speaker first
ruled that the amendments had been
concurred In but when his attention
was called to the fact that bill car
ried the emergency clause, he ruled
it had lost, and named Harrington,
Schepman and Densmore as the con
ference committee for the house.
The senate amendments merely
struck out of the sentence "in full
force and effect, according to law,"
the unnecessary words "full" and
"according to law."
Rodman voiced his objection on
the ground that he would never con
sent to inquisitionizing the United
States, and that he was opposed to
substituting the presumption of guilt
for that of innocence when a person
is under arrest. His objection went
ten that portion of the bill which says
that the possession of more than a
pint of liquor shall be prima facie
evidence of intent to sell it.
The house declined to concur in
the senate amendment to H. R. 96,
which cut from 8 per cent to 6 per
cent the limit of bonded indebted
ness for cities of the second class
and villages. Keyes, Hunter and
Rossiter were named as house con-
ferers.
The house concurred in senate
amendments to H. R. 96, which re
lates to claims against drainage dis
tricts; H. R. 216, the crow-ground.
squirrel-pocket, gopher-magpie boun
ty bill, and to H. R. 220, the Skeen
co-operative marketing bill.
LEAGUE PEACE PACT
IS GIVEN A SETBACK
Chamberlain - Says Great Britain
Won t Accept Compulsory
Arbitration.
Geneva, March 12. The impres
sion that international disarmament
has received a setback was shining
forth like come sinister beacon at
Geneva tonight as a sequence to to
day's memorable meeting of the
council of the league of nations, at
which England and all her domin
ions, except Ireland, rejected the
Geneva peace protocol. This proto
col was erected to achieve disarma
ment by establishing in the world
the reign of compulsory arbitration
and security.
Dr. Eduard Benes, the Czecho-Slo-vakian
foreign minister, who is the
official reporter of the council on
the protocol, informed the Associated
Press tonight that he will introduce
a resolution tomorrow that the en
tire problem of international peace
and disarmament be referred to the
next assembly of the league.
Wants New Study
This examination by the assembly,
ho said, should naturally include a
study of Austen Chamberlain's rec
ommendation made today that the
league covenant be supplemented by
special defensive treaties between
nations whose differences might lead
to a renewal of war, treaties whose
sole object would be the mainte
nance of unbroken peace.
Great Britain today not only threw
the protocol overboard, but declared
it was hopeless to try to rescue it
with the idea of successful revision.
Mr. Chamberlain, the British secre
tary for foreign affairs, stood rigidly
against compulsory arbitration of all
disputes, which is one of the main
features of the protocol. Aluding to
the immigration issue, which was in
directly raised by Japan In connec
tion with the protocol, he asserted
that British objection to compulsory
arbitration .had been increased be
cause the protocol had weakened
those league stipulations which were
designed to prevent interference by
the league in matters of domestic
Jurisdiction.
Of the other countries represented
on the council stood solidly by the
covenant in a defensive adress by M.
Briand, yet offered a kind of wel
come to Mr. Chamberlain's substi
tute suggestion of special treaties.
Italy Backs England
Italy, through Vittorio Scialoia,
former foreign minister, came out
flatly for Mr. Chamberlain's proposal
of special treaties, while Viscount
l3hii of Japan announced that Tokio
had not completed examination of
the protocol, but appreciated its lofty
and noble idea and would continue
its study.
Belgium, represented by Paul Hy
mans, saw In the British proposal a
way to stabilize peace while await
ing attainment of general security.
Brazil pledged her support to any
scheme of mutual assistance, provid
ed it was general in character. Spain
adopted a similar attitude. Sweden
said her eventual attitude would be
that of the great powers, and Uru
guay recommended throwing the
whole question before the next as
sembly.
Mrs. Marie Jean was a visitor in
Omaha today, going to that city on
the early morning Burlington train.
COTTON STANDARDS FIXED i

MORE WHEAT, LESS
CORN ON FARMS
iMarch. Report Indicates More of
Corn Crop Merchantable
Than Expected.
Lincoln. March 12. Stocks of
corn, oats and barley on Nebraska
farms are lower than those on hand
a year ago, but wheat reserves are
larger, according to the March re
port of the division of livestock and
crop estimates issued here today.
More of the corn crop is of merchant
able quality than was expected, the
report said. Grain stocks for the
entire country are less, with the ex
ception of oats.
"About 16 per cent of the Nebras
ka wheat crop, or 9,138,000 bushels,
were on farms March 1, 1925. as
compared with 6,278,000 bushels a
year ago, and the five-years average
of 11,504,000 bushels," said the re
port. "A much larger per cent will
be shipped, since the crop was near
ly twice that of the 1923 crop. About
80 per cent of the 1924 crop will be
shipped.
81 Per Cent Merchantable
"Stocks of corn on farms are esti
mated to b 36 per cent of last year's
crop, or 73,181.000 bushels, against
111,541,000 bushels last year, and
the five-year average of 103,148,000
bushels. About 81 per cent of the
crop was of merchantable quality,
which is more than previous esti
mates. About 32 per cent of the crop
will be shipped out as compared to
34 per cent a year ago.
"Stocks of oats on farms are esti
mated at 40 per cent of last year's
crop, or 30,454,000 bushels as against
33,230.000 bushels on farms a year
ago. The five-year average is 32,
853,000 bushels. About 17 per cent
of the crop will be shipped as com
pared to 18 per cent of the previous
crop. A somewnat larger percentage
of the crop will be fed on farms."
The report estimates that barley
reseryes are 23 per cent of the crop
or 1,433,000 bushel3 against 2,468,-
000 bushels a year ago, and stocks of
rye are estimated to be 16 per cent
of last years crop, or 30 6,000
bushels.
Less Hay Will Be Shipped
"Farm stocks of hay are estimated
at 31 per cent of the crop, or 1,826,-
000 against 2,222,000 tons a year
ago," the report said. "About 7 per
cent of the crop will be shipped as
compared with 8 per cent of the pre
vious year's crop."
