From raturday's Dally
"Last evening the members of the
choir of the First Method ist church
enjoyed a very fine time in a picinic

in the very pleasant surroundings of
the Burlington railroad bridge. The
members of the party motored there
in cars and bearing well filled baskets
of good things to eat that served as
ihe bais of the picnic supper, ham
and eggs, coffee and other dainties
served to form the fine feast and after
which a short time of recreation was
enjoyed to the utmost. The members
of tlie jolly party enjoyed a trip over
the Missouri river on the ferry boat
and which proved a diversion that
all of the party fui'.y appreciated. A
number of songs were given that also
proved a very pleasant part of the
evening's entertainment.

Farmers' De
pression Laid to
Present Tariff
Ex-Governor Morehead Would Have
the Government Guarantee a
Minimum Price.
Washington, May 14. High taxes,
high freight "rates and high tariff
are given as three causes of farm
depression by Representative John
II. Morehead of the First Nebraska
district, former democratic governor
of his state, in a discussion of farm
legislation in connection with de
bate in the house on the Haugen
bill.
"Reduction of taxes," Morehead
declared, "depends on the people
themselves and the public officials
whom they elect. The taxpayers are
fortunate if their representatives,
state and national officials, have not
acquired the art of extravagant ex
penditures of the taxpayers' nouey.'
The former governor said he had
been brought to support of pending
legislation because of the difficulty
cl reducing high tariffs and high
railroad rates, due to the granting
of "artificial methods of raising
prices to other lines of business."
"America produces a large per
centage of the world's corn," said
Morehead. "We should be in a po
sition to control the price, at least
to the extent that the farmer would
not have to raise and market his
corn at bankrupt prices.
"Stabilization of the price of corn
would stabilize the price of land.
In establishing a minimum price
for corn the purpose is to prevent
speculators and investors from de
pressing prices blow the cost of pro
duction.
"I doubt if the government would
be called upon to aid in maintain
ing a minimum price. The fact
being known that the government
would be a purchaser if prices were
less than the minimum would be
sufficient to stabilize the price. The
government could aid in the ware
housing and storing of the crop and
release it as the demand and prices
were favorable."
Morehead said he expected to vote
for the Haugc-n bill as tLe only
farm relief measure which lias a
chance of passage at the present ses
sion. TRYING FOR COMPROMISE

A notable feature was an address
by Eenor Palacios. setting forth in de

tended that as she occupied a provi
cinial position between Europe and
American, she was able to contribute
to a union of the sympathies and
friendship of the two continents and,
as a member of the council, play a role
which, would greatly aid in the main
tenance of the peace of the world.

ELEET-FCOTED PARROT
TURNS UP IN 1HLWAUKEE
Chicago, 111., May 12. Johanna
the floet-footed parrot, which has
been held in the Evanston jail
pending the hearing of a court fight
over a $27 board bill, escaped from
her cell last night, and turned up
in Milwaukee. A tag on Johanna's
foot identified her, and was found
by Miss Anna Klemau who notified
Evaustcn officers that she is return
ing the bird.
The bird's home was originally
in Morten Grove. During the ab
sence of her owners in Europe she
was sent to Evanston. where ar
rangement had been made to board
her. When her owners returned
they neglected to pay a bill of $27
for her keep. The parrot was re
turned to Evaston on a writ of re
plevin'. En route to Evanston Johanna
leaped out of the constable's auto
mobile and walked back to Morten
Grove, a distance of 15 miles. The
bird could not fly because her wings
wer clipped.

ductor J. W. Ruthlege. Engineer W.
W. Young, Fireman W. B. Rich, and
trainman W. S. Mushrush and B.
J. Connelly, with Dispatcher J. T.
Neal at the key. This train arrived
at Jefferson City, Mo., a distance of
162 miles from Kansas City, at 11:15
p. m., making the run in 5 hours.
55 minutes, handling 75 loads. 2455
tons, without making a single stop
in the entire distance. An auxiliary
tank holding 10.000 gallons of
water was provided to avoid the nec-
the one tank of coal taken at Kan
sas Citwwas sufficient to take the
train to Jefferson City. Similar
tanks are being used on other Mis

FISES BEYOND CONTROL
Falmouth, Mass., May 13. Two
forest fires were raging uncontrolled
in the Hatchville section tonight and
a thousand men were fighting them.
The coast guard station at Weeds Hole
.-n the srouthwest elbow of Cape Cod,
drafted every available man to help
in checking the flames and four of
them were overcome by smoke.
A strong wind swept one fire to
ward North Falmouth and only stren
uous efforts saved two summer camps
from destruction. At last reports the
fire had burned 200 acres of timber
and was half a miles from Hatchville.
The other blaze started on the
Hatchville-Xorth Falmouth road a
mile and a half from Hatchville, but
was turning a direction away from
the other fire.

Green, Gratified at British Strike's'
End Sees American Wage Sys
tem Upheld by Etesult.
Washington, May 13.- American;
labor will stand fast on the acred-,
ness of wage contracts, president ;
William Green of the American Fed-!
rati.on ' tLaborf ec!?redt. Wedtc"s'!
iday in a statement hailing the settle-;
ment of the British general strike, l
Green said. j
"The working people of the Unit-j
ed States, in common with other,
groups, are gratified to learn that I
the general strike which has been!
in effect during the past week in :
Great Britain is at an end. j
"The conclusion of this industrial,
contest will mean that the grievances j
of the miners, which were the orig- i
inal cause of the strike, will now be I
dealth with, considered and acted j
upon. The officers and members of i
the American Federation of Labor!
will await more complete and accur-l
ate information regarding the terms -upon
which the strike was ended j
before passing judgment upon either;
the success or failure of the under-;
taking. j
"The experiment of the British
trade unionists in engaging in aj
general strike has been decidedly
interesting and has attracted world-!
wide attention. I am confident, how
ever, that after receiving full infor
mation concerning the basis of set
tlement and after reviewing the j
strike, its effect and its outcome, the
officers and members of the American j
Federation of Labor, is sound and i
productive of the greatest good to;
the membership of organized labor;
in America." i
Had the strike continued the fed-'
eration's executive council would'
have been forced to make one of the
mcst critical decisions in its history,
with the likelihood of objection by
Great Britain and resulting compli-,
cations if it voted to send money.
The issue had been put squarely up
to the counc il by a direct appeal i
from British union officials for sore-
lv needed funds.
Many Wounded

Polish Outbreak
Pilsudski in Control of the Capital j
as the Government Sallies
Its Forces.
Prague, May 13.
gle has been going
-A fierce strug
on in Warsaw
around Belvedere palace, where the
government has taken refuge. Late
dispatches from the Polish capital
report IS killed, including two offi
cers, and SO wounded in hte streets
of the city.
Former "President Pilsudski, in
command of the revolting troops,
is in control of the capital and the
situation has been greatly aggra
vated by the arrival in the outskirts
of Warsaw of two regiments from
rPosen to aid the ousted government.
A manifesto by President Wojcie
chowski thrown from an airplane
declares that a majority of the array
sides with the government, and tha
troops are on the way to Warsaw
to engage the Pilsudski forces. It
apepals for supoprt for the lawful
government.
The inner city is completely in
the hards of the Pilsudski adher
ents, and the marshal, with his
staff, has his headijuarters in the
saxon palace.
The government apparently is
endeavoring to delay negotiations
until it is able to converge the
greater number of its forces in the
provinces on Warsaw. An aviation
corps has reported for service, and
an airtight embargo on tlephonic
and telegraphic communications has
been imposed throughout Poland to
prevent Pilsudski from mobilizing
his followers.
In an ultimatum Marshal Pilsud
ski demands the resignation of Pre
mier Witos and the appointment of
non-nolitical heads of the war and
j foreign ministries, together with the
withdrawal of all decrees promulgat
ed by the Witos administration.
Up to the present the socialists
have declined to join Pilsudski, and
the government has therefore been
able to keep the railways operating
with socialist labor union trains
men. Anticipating sanguinary fighting
citizens have fled or are in hiding.
Only hurrying troops are encoun
tered in the streets. Warsaw looks
like a deserted city.
