WALTER SIMMONS
TOLD TO PREPARE
FOR DEATH CHAIR
His Attorney Gives Up Hope in
Court, Though Effort to be
Continued.
Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 4. In the
death house of the "penitentiary to
night, Walter Ray Simmons, con
demned to die August 11 for the
murder of a Boyd county garage
man, was told that all resources to
save him had been exhausted.
"We are at the end of the trail,"
his attorney, Josiah Coombs of Spen
cer, Neb., told Simmons. "Look to
the future and prepare to meet your
Maker."
This was an admission that inso
far as the courts are concerned, hope
has been abandoned, but it was indi
cated an appeal would be made to
the supreme court tomorrow.
Mrs. Emily Bateman of Pompey's
Pillar, Mont., sister of Simmons, who
has been here several days in an at
tempt to save her brother's life, said
tonight there seemed no hope un
less the public sentiment should be
aroused against the execution.
When Coombs carried to the con
demned man word of the court's re
fusal to grant a writ of habeas cor
pus, he said he had little faith in an
appeal.
"Denial of the supersedeas per
mits execution of the judgment of
the court to be carried out," he ex
plained. "The supreme court is in
recess." The only hope remaining,
he said, is that pressure of public
opinion may cause the governor to
postpone the execution.
The attempt of the defense to get
a stay of execution collapsed this
morning when Judge Mason Wheeler
declined to grant Simmons' plea for
a writ of habeas corpus.
Bryan Didn't Sign
Judge Wheeler also refused to dis
miss the action without prejudice.
Judge Wheeler, in refusing the writ.
pointed out that Simmons' attorneys I
had not proved their contention that
tne reprieve granted ry uovernor
liryan in 1924 was illegal and stated
that he felt the action was initiated
as a measure of delay.
"The application for a writ could
have been brought a year ago just as
have been brought a year ago just as
well as today," Judge Wheeler said.
Contention by defense that Gov
ernor Bryan had issued a "pretend
ed" reprieve July 8, 1924, was re
futed by Mr. Bryan, when he took
the stand and testified he did not re
member having signed the reprieve.
It was shown during the testimony i
that the reprieve was signed by Lieu-
tenant Governor Fred G. Johnson, in
the absence of Governor Bryan.

The committee characterized as
"propaganda" statements that farm
ers are on the high road to pros-j

They asked that members of con

introduce bills affecting agriculture j
until the congressmen have conferred j
witn memoers or ine cominuiee.
"We think the time lias come.
says the resolution, adopted unami-
mouslv. "when the various farm or- j
ganizations should act jointly in de
manding a seat on the Chicago and
other hoards of trade."
An invitation was extended to or
ganizations in the cotton and tobacco

Advice to Italy to cease from "spa wn -
ing children on the world with hap -
hazard recklessness" was given by
Professor Edward M. East at the In
stitute of Politics today, lie was an
swering a complaint voiced by Count
Antoniu Cippico of the Italian senate
in a lecture here last Saturday, that
his country could not support its pop
ulation and must resort to emigra
tion. "No nation wants the dregs drained
from the bottom of the vat," said
a statement issued by Mr. West, who
is professor of plant morphology at
Harvard university, and is conduct
ing a round table at the institute on
agriculture and population increase.
"Those of Italy are not less wel
come than those of any other nation,
but they are still not welcome. We
produce enough of that quality our
selves. "Our distinguished visitor, Count
Cippico, has brought with his sev
eral sugar coated pills of Italian ex
pediency. Italy, he. somewhat bitterly
admits, was tricked at Versailles
when the spoils of war were divided;
and now the least the world in gen
eral and the United States in partic
ular can do is to allow the excess
army of half of a million which the
country throws off each year to be
farmed out on other lands.
"The first Malthusian law is inex
orable. Under natural conditions
population increase is finally re
pressed and stabilized by the inten
sity of the struggle for existence.
Count Cippico grants this to be the
fact. Such law may be harsh, it
may be cruel, but we must accept it.
The world asks Italy to extricate
herself from her perilous position by
taking care not to remain in the
path of this law's crushing force; it
asks her to set her house in order.
"Italy's terrible inf ant mortallity
is directly traceable to too frequent
child bearing and over large families
Why not reduce it? Why should
man emulate the lobster in the mat
ter of reproduction when God has
given him brains? Our visitor should
know that when the world gives this

speaking of infanticide, as he stated
in his lecture.'

LABOR TO FOREGO
THIRD PARTY MOVE
iWill Return to Old Custoin of Sup-
porting Individual Candidates
Favorable to Their Cause.
i TI-....1. : T .1 : .
ubiiiiigioii. n fri - . ill inreri
language from its executive council
'today the American federation of
: labor announced that it v;;s thru
j backing third party members of the
kind which it supported in 1 924. with
the late Senator La Follette as presi
dential candidate.
A return to the custom of enter
ing congressional and other politi
cal contests in support of individual
candidates satisfactory to the union
was emphatically indicated as its
future course 1 y the council, which
has just wound up a quarterly sc;
i sion during which much time v;ts
given to the study of labor strategy
in approaching elections.
The Council's decision recited a
general resolution adopted at El Paso
last year, which laid down the
principle that organized labor "must
be as free from political party domin
ation now as at any time in its his
tory." The convention's dictum was tar
ried out by the declaration that "no
aid or comfort will be given those
who seek to launch a third party
movement" and by a decision to have
prepared for the national convention
at Atlantic City, October 5. a set of
reports dealing with local, state ami
national political contests. These an;
to carry tentative endorsements for
candidates friendly to Tabor, regard
less of their party affiliation.
In belief of such candidates, par
ticularly those in the congressional
field, the council promises to wage
a "strenuous non-partisan political
campaign." State federations of labor
and central labor bodies every
where will be summoned to assist,
as in previous years, it said, while
its usual condemnation of "bosses"
and support of the primary system
for nominating candidates was again
made evident.
"The statement mentioned the
events of 1924, when the council en
dorsed the La Follette forces, but
said that "since the non-partisan
political policy has been followed
many independent ot tnird party
movements have come and gone, gen
erally existing for only one elec
tion. "The executive council believes
that as a result of its non-partisan
political policy the launching of
third party movements has been
proved wasted effort and injurious to
the desire to elect candidates with
favorable records. The 1922 and
1924 political campaign definitely
determined this fact. Experience,
therefore, has taught labor that to
be successful politically it must con-
tinue in future, as in the past, to
follow its non-partisan political
policy."
An active campaign to interest
women wage-earners and their sym
pathizers, it was also announced,
will be carried on during the primary
and election campaign.
