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.

AMERICAN PARACHUTE
SAVES SWEDISH FLYER
Norrkoping. Sweden. July 13. 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.

clav pigeons their targets in the

watch inflation of balloons for a na

Elk trophv. Still more of a thun
dering herd found their way to Wash

was the Elks handicap.
Others of the throng held reunions

Tomorrow will see the dedication

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,

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.
