Richard Hunter, Omaha, attorney for two men given bread and water jail sentences in Te kamah, Neb., last fall, has drawn up an amendment to the bread and water jail sentences law which would limit to five days any bread and water sen tences. The bill has been handed to Representative Edward Crofoot, to be introduced in the legislature. Mr. Hunter said that Crofoot has agreed to arrange for its introduction with in the next few days. "I personally believe the bread and water law should be entirely abolish ed," Hunter said. "It was originat ed to discourage bums from spend ing their winters in Nebraska jails. It is now being used to aid in notori ety and publicity in connection with liquor sentences, which is wrong be cause the law was never intended for such offenders." MYNAED U. B.

ANOTHER AMERICAN TELEPHONE ACHIEVEMENT The American telephone system has been a world wonder for many years, It now announces trans-Atlantic ra- dio telephone service between New York and London, the service for the present being limited to the metropol itan areas of these two cities. It is not necessary to go to a special station to place trans-Atlantic calls. It will be possible for anyone at any! telephone located in New York metro- btate Kellogg's allegations concern politan area to talk to any person at ing soviet anti-American activities in any telephone in the London metro-. Mexico and Latin-America, which politan area. The American Telephone and Tele- graph company transmitted the first transoceanic speech in 1915. In 1923 one-way messages were telephoned to London. Since then further improve- and Washington papers are also menta have made the present service printed; these give the Russian read possible, ers the Impression that President New York City has three times as many telephones as London, more than all Oreat Britain, and over twice as many as Jnrance. .

I COOLTDGE FACES FIGHT Washington. Jan. 16. Ralph E. Williams of Oregon, a vice-chairman of the republican national commit tee, and one of its senior members, predicted today a hot fight for Presi dent Coolidge if he seeks renomlna tion in 1928, He is the first repub lican leader to cast doubt on the president's ability to succeed him- self Following a call at the White house, where he discussed the po litical situation in the west with the Dresident. Mr. Williams said the dis- content of farmers in the middle west will prove the biggest obstacle for President Coofidee to overcome. He ovnressed the ODinion. however, that the president will be able to win out if he seeks renomination, providing conditions do not change materially in the next year.

HOUSE PASSES ARMY BILL Washington, tlan. 17. Appropria tions of $5,080,000 for new barracks at various military posts, recommend ed by- the war department, are au thorized under a ; bill passed today by the house and sent' to the senate. Most of the money would come from the sale of surplus war department property, but $1,400,000 would be made available immediately. ! Mrs. C. F.

Nebraska House Lets Tarai Re lief Sleep Bill to Elect County Commissioners by Districts Is Advanced Eesolution Was Vague. Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 18. Tlie farm relif resolution was still deadlocked in the Nebraska legislature today. The resolution, which was passed in the senate Friday after a demand had been made for it in an open letter addressed to members in the Omaha Bee last week, came from the senate to the house Friday afternoon and has lain there since without action. I went over the week-end under the house rules which provide that all resolutions, without unanimous consent, shall lie over for one day without consideration. The objection Friday was made by Representative Troy Davis (rep.. Cats). Mondny no attempt was made to a!I up the reso lution and none was made today. Around the senate chamber t hit afternoon no secret was made the conjecture that the delay is due lj objection by Governor McMullc! t the resolution as it was framed uud passed by the senate, at thn reeom- jmendation of Lieutenai-t Cov rror George Williams, m tne irm m which it left the senate, t'.U' reso lution very conspicuously did net re fer to any specific plan of farm relief It did not indorse the bill approved by the house committee in centres' last week, or any other plan. It war a blanket approval of "farm relief," without saying what kind of farm relief. Governor Is Surprised. When this fact was carried to the governor by newspaper men Saturday he was surprised, and immediately took out his pencil to make a nota tion, declaring that this is a minor matter and will be taken care of im mediately. "Of course it was intend ed that the legislature should ask congress for the equalization plan which we ha,re advocated consistently for over a year," he said, indicating: that the correction will be mads im mediate! y. "What action did the house take today on the farm relief legisla ture?" a prominent senator asked in the corridor on noon today. "No action," the senator was in formed. "No action?" declared the senate member, surprised. "Well, you know what that mean.!." In the corridors the laity l it knew what the failure of house to act on the resolution i The laity S2id frankly that it ! slav ed that the subject i3 "too hot to handle" at the opening of a legis lative session in which there are other issues which touch more close to borne. Fear Stirring Strife. "There is war from a pleasant unanimity among even republican members of the legislature, or among farmers, on what farm relief legis lation in congress should be," de clared one observer, "and it is the fear of stirring up this strife on a matter which is the business of con gress that has put the brakes on ac tion by the house on this resolution." It was believed, however, that some kind of a resolution v.-ill he produc ed by way o getting out of the diffi culty. The country and the town went to bat against each other on another measure in the house today, however, and the farmers emerged with a slen der victory of one vote, after much oratory and two tie votes in which the house tied itself up, in a parlia mentary way, to such an extent that it had to lay the matter over the noon hour in order to plan a method of extrication. Vote Is 48 to 47. The bill was House Roll No. 15, which provides that county commis sioners shall be elected by districts instead of from the county at large. After much debate in which the principles of Thomas Jefferson were much talked, and the matter of I bringing the government closer to ' the people," a motion to approve the bill for passage in the house commit tee of the whole lost by a vote of 49 to 4 7. A motion to kill the bill wa then made, and it resulted in a tie vote of 4 8 to 48, both upon a divi sion and a roll call. A tie vote loses a motion, to approve and to kill having lost, the house could not fig ure out where the bill was, whether in heaven or hell or limbo. So Rep- FARMERS! PLEASE TAKE . NOTICE!

Farmer members of the house de clared that in counties where there are cities the city vote controls the selection of county commissioners to such an extent that it is practically impossible to get a farmer on a com mittee. Representative White (rep., I)ou;rlas) offered an amendment which would have excepted Douglas eeuT'.ty, from the provisions of the j bill, but this was defeated.
