Union, Neb., July 13. 192G. CHAS. L. GRAVES. SUPREME COURT TO HONOR FORMER CHIEF IN SEPTEMBER Lincoln, July IS. A special mera- 1 crial session of the supreme court will ,be held at the opening of the Septem ber term in honor of the late John J. Sullivan, former chief justice, who died recently in California Hastings, Neb. Sheriff George George Harm of Adams county to day in a written statement brand ed as "absolutely untrue" a story published Saturday morning in whic he was said to have quoted by Gov ernor McMullen relative to the con dition of the body of Carl W. Moore found in a plum thicket near Rose land and for whose murder Donald Ringer is under sentence for eloctro cution. Harm denied that he said th body of Mpore was so badly decom posed it could not be determined whether it' contained a shot wound On this ptmt he says he was mis understood by the governor in thei conversation over the long distance telephone prior to the issuance o the Ringer reprieve. Harm asserts in his statement which is addessed to the citizens of Adams county, that in the conver sation with the governor, McMullen himself suggested that if the body found in the plum thicket was de composed there could become uncer tainty as to "any other marks." The sheriff says he informed the governor that he was sure there could be no doubt of the ulentifica tion of Moore's body, because of the clothing and other articles found upon it. He says he feels sure that Gov ernor McMullen is acting in good faith and that he tried to give the overnor the facts as nearly as he could remember. Whether the reprieve issued to Ringer is to expire by limitation Tuesday depends upon the action of the board of pardons, comprisin Governor McMullen, Attorney Gen eral Spillman and Secretary of State Pool. The board will meet Tuesday to consider a long list of applications for parole. Attorney J. E. Willits of Hastings representing Ringer, intends to file new application for commutation of sentence. No request had been filed up to a late hour Monday afternoon. When the board meets Tuesday at he penitentiary in regular 'session t may consider the matter of hold ng a hearing upon the old application or a new request for commutation. Dr. Cameron's testimony in the Bartlett case clears up his views as to whether or not a stranger treated by him Sunday night of October 19 1924. was Carl Moore, the victim of Ringer. The doctor's testimony went no further than to say the man he treated resembled a nhotnerrnnh of Moore, a man whom the doctor had never seen. Some portions of the de scription of the stranger who is al leged to have had a bullet wound on his hip do not correspond to descrip tions of Moore. The state board may not think it necessary to go further than to examine the testimony which Dr. Cameron gave in court.

An American parachute has carried off the honor of saving the life of an aviator caught in an accident four thousand feet up for the first time in the history of European aviation, according to local military aviation oflTCials. A Swedish army flier, Lieutenant Soederberg, was maneuvering over the aviation field at Malmslaett, near here, a few days ago. trying out a new machine when it went into a spin. Failing in his efforts to straighten it out before reaching the ground, the aviator made use of the Ameri can-made parachute, which the Swed ish air force had just adopted. The airplane was smashed but the officer escaped unhurt. exalted ruler, chose Cincinnati fo the 1927 grand lodge reunion, and chose a new slate of executives. Before 10,000 ptrsOns at Soldiers Held, thirty-five bands and drum corps compete! ior cmoiems o merit. At Lincoln park several bun drcd marksmen of the order made clav pigeons their targets in the order's national trap-shooting con test. Others packed Grant park to watch inflation of balloons for a na tional race under way tonight for an Elk trophv. Still more of a thun dering herd found their way to Wash ington park and saw a program o hor.se racing whose principle event was the Elks handicap. Others of the throng held reunions at their hotel headquarters, boated on Lake Michigan or the Chicago river, or sper.t a busy day trying to pee all ot tne attractions at once Cincinnati Defeats Miami Cincinnati was chosen over Miami for next year's convention. As Grakelow came to the rostrum to acknowledge his election, retiring Grand Exalted Ruler William Haw ley Atv.ell turned over to him a pre ding officer's gavel fashioned from olive wood more than a thousand years old. hewn from a tree which stood on the site in Nazareth of St. Joseph's carpenter shop, where Jesus worked as a boy. Officials of tho reunion estimated he total attendance tonight at 250, mo and forecast an attendance to morrow greater man tne juu.uuu maximum expected-for the event Tomorrow will see the dedication of the three million dollar Elks me morial headquarters building and the reunion will read a cnmax, wnicn will be sustained through Thursday, when the national parade will march up Michigan avenue. The crowd which witnessed today s contest was brought to its feet re peatcdly by crack squads of drum mers and buglers or by resplendent egions of brightly-clad bandsmen from one end of the country to the other. A Mexican boys' band from 1 Paso. Texas, a band from Lewis own, Mont., iind bands from Denver and Appleton, Wis., were among those which elicited enthusiasm from the crowd. Other Officers Elected The grand lodge, after narain Irakelow as new ruler of the order, lected six other officers at today's session and re-elected Fred C. Rob- nson of Dubuque. Iowa, grand secre ary of the lodge, in which capacity e has served more than twenty years. 1 lie new otticers: Hubert S. Riley, of Indianapolis, grand esteemed leading knight; Har- y Blue, Montgomery, Ala., grand es teemed loyal knigM; George Mac Coshan, Blackfoot, Idaho, grand es- cmd lcturing knight; M. H. C. Mc- irron. Woburn, Mass., grand tyler, nd Louis Forman. Bloomington, 111., grand inner guard. To the gathered multitudes ana o those who welcomed the visitors. Judge William. Hawley Atwell of Dallas, Tex., the retiring grand ex alted ruler, delivered the philosophy of Elkdom. "The Elks is not a political order. It is not a religious order. It is not a selfish order. It takes thought neither of ambitions, nor successes. nor riches. It knows the fires of love. It lives for the future. It is the so ciety of the sincere and socks deliv erance from the deceitful, the society of service seeking deliverance from selfishness. "Its philosophy is for men: it is grateful for life, for opportunity, for nation and for every adversity that makes men stronger." "Both the farm fight and the river fight," said Mr. Howard, "were well organized, and while we did not win the fight for farm relief we mustered a larger vote than has even been mustered in congress before. "We won a decisive victory in the house for the river bill, and when congress assembles next December the organization we have built up in the house will exert its influence on the senate and we look for the passage of the rivers and harbors bill with the Missouri river improvement included. East Sympathizes. Congressman Howard believes that President Coolidge will not be a ser ious contender for the next republi can nomination. "Coolidge has lost much of his great popularity," he said, "largely because lie does not seem to have been able to understand the middle west. "lie knows the east, and his closest advisers understand the east, with the result that from the eastern stand point the Coolidge administration has been a great administration. West Has Influence. As a result, I believe that the mid dlewest will have a tremendous in fluence" in both the conventions in 192S providing we take full advan tage of our opportunities and are or ganized to make our voice heard." However, no candidate on either the democratic or republican ticket can be elected without the support of the middlewest. Congressman Howard expects to be in Nebraska, mostly in his own district, between now and the time for the next session of congress. Dur ing the session just closed Congress man Howard made a reputation with several witty speeches, especially his short speech on the self-asserted wis dom of Colonel House. This speech was regarded by mem bers of the houf e as ranking with the classics of that body. As a result he has been sought out by one of the largest lecture bureaus in the coun try to make a series of speeches in the larger cities. The congressman has decided, however, to rest on his laurels. "I am not a chautaugue speaker," he said. HEARERS' APPLAUSE KILLS RADIO BROADCASTER Chicago, 111., July 11. Thousands of radio listeners, who are, wondering why station WOK did not respond to enthusiastic applause and encores after broadcasting dance music last night, will regret to know that death stepped in and denied the request Lester J. Wolff, 19, one of the oungest licensed broadcasters in the country, was electrocuted in a hasty effort to respond to the thunderous encore. He had just completed the number, when a great burst of ap plause which was too loud for the delicate equipment was received. The . wave of sound caused a fuse in the battery room to blow. Wolf ran to the fuse and, leaning against an iron pipe, started to in stall a new one, togetting to dis- I connect the power. Sixty-five hun- j dreds volts of electricity shot through j j his body, throwing him to the lloor. j "I'm not hurt," he gasped, as he ' J struggled to his feet, and immediately became unconscious and dleo in a few moments. Singers, violinists and others waiting in the studio were dis missed, and broadcasting was not re sumed. This is said to be the first j fatality of its kind in the United States.

Chicago po lice predict tonight that the number of stolen cars this year will double that of last year if the present rate is maintained. " i The nrediction was made when statistics from all vehicle sources re vealed that 96 cars had been stolen during Saturday, Saturday night and this morning, and that the total for the three-day holiday around the Fourth was 125. The total for 1926 to date is 75 hundred as compared with 82 hun dred in all of 1925, according to po lice statisticians. One of the contributing causes of tho increase, officials said, was what they described as the growing ten-! dency of judges to place youthful auto drivers on probation. There is no slack business period for the merchant who advertises bit goods the year 'round.
