PLATTSMOUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE SEVEN MONDAY, MARCH 25, 1929. Thousands Wait Turn to View Bier Stand for Honrs in Cold Drizzle; Body Is Placed in Casket; Funeral Tuesday. Paris. March 22. The family of Marshal Foch looked upon the great soldier's face for the last time today. Then government agencies took charge of his bods, which will be laid to rest in the Invalides Tuesday alongside that of Napoleon. This afternoon and evening the people of Paris, rich and poor, young and old. stood for hours under a chilly drizzle for the privilege of passing through the room in the marshal's home where he lay in a closed coffin. From mid-day until long after night had fallen and the gates in front of the Foch home had been closed, thousands waited patiently on the sidewalks for their turn to pass the bier. They waited in silence and during the evening hours they waited in the rain, each to pay his modest homage to their great military lead er. To Arch Sunday. The thousands who took their fare well of Foch yesterday and the thou sands who followed them through the crepe-hung doors of his home today were but the forerunners of the tens of thousands who will do him hom age after his body is taken to the Arc de Triomphe on Sunday. Without any ceremony the coffin will be taken from the home on Sun day morning and placed near the tomb of the unknown soldier. There, guarded by officers from his army headquarters, the coffin will rest for all to salute until Monday night, when the bier will be placed in the cathedral of Notre Dame to await the solemn requiem mass which will usher in the national funeral on Tues day. Nations in Cortege. Petachmnets of troops and the elite of all of the allied nations with bands will march in the cortege, American soldiers being represented by the color guard of the Paris branch of the American Legion, an organiza tion in which the dead marshal al ways took the liveliest and most af fectionate interest. The ceremony of interment, it was intended, shall be simple. Just as the marshal asked that there be no flow ers heaped on his coffin, so there will be no flowers of rhetoric when he is laid in his tomb. Raymond Poincare alone will speak, bidding farewell to France's great son in the name of the country and of its people. American Indian at Bier. Early this morning the body of the marshal was taken from the cataf al-1 que and placed in a simple oak coffin with gilt panels. The body will not be embalmed, as Mme. Foch said the maishal's religious convictions were opposed to such procedure. Crowds began forming in the streets outside the house before dawn in anticipation of an opportunity to see the body of the marshal later in the day. Among the early visitors was an American Indian. White Horse Eagle, who. although the public was not admitted in the forenoon, was es corted in for a last view of the mar shal. Ke signed his name in the reg ister "Honorable Big Chief White Horse Eagle," and wore a full cos tume of an Indian chief, complete even to Eagle feathers. Of Hovers there were none to be seen. Foch in his will asked that there be none and Madame Foch has carried out his wishes, although it has been hard to put aside the many beautiful bouquets and wreaths which arrived during the day. All these flowers, despite the insistence of their doners, were sent away to hos ritals and children's homes. During the morning the family of Foch looked upon his face for the last time. Other than members of the famliy, only General Weygand, Foch's closest military associate. Father L'Hande and Dr. Heitz-Boyer were present when the body was placed in the coffin and the lid clos ed. To the oaken cover were nailed seven golden stars, symbolic of the marshal's rank. Delegations arrived from all parts of France today. One especially re marked was that from Alsace which included a veteran of the Franco Prussian war and two women in the Alsatian costume. Among the many persons notable in all the lands of the globe who came to sign the reg ister this afternoon was one who did not sicn his name. He simply wrote "To the greut Christian, to the great ehi-f. A Grateful Poilu." World Herald.

Gary Negro May Have Been Omaha Ax Murderer Cops Find Bloody Hatchet in Room; Murders There Tally With Atrocities in Omaha Possibility that Omaha's three mys tery ax slayings last November will be solved loomed Friday when Gary (Ind.) police got a confession from Gillis Mack that he had slain a man and a girl, assaulted five men, attack ed three women and committed a dozen robberies there in the past two months. The nature of the crimes tallies closely with those in Omaha. Questioned about the Omaha mur ders. Mack, who accuses a confeder ate of helping him, denied he had ever been here. Armed with hatchets and lengths of lead pipe. Mack, a Negro, and his partner according to his statement, prowled the streets of Gary at nieht, pouncing on their victims, killing them, and then robbing or attacking them. A blood-stained hatchet was found in Mack's room after he had been ar rested and questioned about the slay ing of Josephine Odoriczzi, 20. of Gary, last Sunday night. The girl's mutilated body was found in a va cant lot, two blocks from her home. Mack said he struck her once with the hatchet, and wanted to flee, but his companion dragged her into the vacant lot, snd when she stirred, killed her. Then, Mack said, they robbed her. Their other victim was James Walsh. 50, who came upon them after they had robbed a liquor dive and beaten a man there so badly he may die. They killed Walsh with their hatchets. Mack said. That a third charge of murder may be filed against Mack was indicated when Man Gibli. 16. was pronounc ed near death from a beating by Mack a week ago. The girl's com panion was also slugged by the pair, and robbed. In his confession. Mack told of many petty robberies, preceded al ways by beatings. Gary police hust led him under heavy gaurd to Crown Point jail, fearing mob violence. Rural Pupils Get $40,000,000 Ride Annually That Is What Public Is Paying for Their Transport, Accord ing to Survey New York The American public i is now paying $40,000,000 a year for transporting school children to its rural and district schools, ac cording to a report issued at Teach ers College, Columbia University. Dr. Roe Lyell Johns, of Teachers College, in making a nation-wide survey of school transportation, said that the states are assuming rapidly the burden of transportation costs, and that the trend has been in accord with rural school consolidations, which themselves have been brought about at the rate of 4500 to 5000 a years since 1917. "Transportation of school children at public expense in the United States has grown from practically nothing in 1809, when Massachusetts passed the first act of authorization, to an annual transportation esti mated at more than 1,500,000 chil dren." Dr. Johns said. "A steady in crease is noted, especially on the Pacific Coast. "All of the states have laws that make possible the transportation of pupils at public expense. Forty-three states have specific legal provisions for transportation, and in Delaware, Florida. New Mexico, Wyoming, and Utah, transportation of pupils at public expense is considered legal under general statutory provisions." REPORT KILLS STATE RADIO I Lincoln, March 21.

Secretary Kellogg and the Belgian ambassador, Prince Albert de Ligne. signed Wed nesday a treaty of arbitration and n treaty of council!? tion between the United States and Belgium. The treaties ar similar to those negot iated ui;d fcigucd during the p-ist two years between the United Stuteo and several other countries. Foreign Policy Speakers Urge Less W ar Talk One Says Freedom of Important to Many Than Poor Pictures A renunciation of "war talk," in which four speakers discussing the question, "Is Anglo-American Un derstanding in Jeopardy?" each be gan by talking as his fundamental premise the declaration that war be tween Britain and the United States is "simply out of the question," was an outstanding feature of a forum before the Boston Branch of the Foreign Policy Association. Wihle Prof. Charles K. Webster of the University College of Wales, Prof. William Y. Elliott of Harvard and Chester H. Rowell, California editor and lecturer, devoted them selves to the need for an agreement between the two nations as to rights at sea as between neutral commerce and a blocading navy, S. K.

In doine this. Britain has taken obligations to act with force on certain- occasions. States still insists on The U .itcd the doctrine of neutral rights. "Thus Britain is commiitted to take part in a possible world block ade, which the United States, by its historic policy, is committed to try to break. But if the United States were a member of the League of Na tions, its one vote as a member of the Council could prevent any blockade being laid. "Meanwhile, especially since the Kellogg pact, there is a strong con viction in Britain that in any even tuality which may arise the United States will be on the side of truth and justice, and that we will be on that side, too." United States Out of Step Mr. Rowell urged that the United States can solve the question of sea rights by a simple recognition of what he termed the "realities of pres ent world organization "that the rest of the world is organized, that we have chosen to live outside the organized world, and that we are de manding rights which would hove existed in the world had it been as it was." "What I propose," he said, "is this: that the United States shall so obligate itself that, should a situa tion arise in which freedom of the seas ceases, as a result of the world enforcing a blockade against a vio lator of our Kellogg Treaty, it sim ply do nothing about it." Concern over Anglo-American re lations, he said, does not arise over the possibility cf a direct break be man economics, it is admitted. Closer co-operation between Amer ican and German industry, it is be tween the United States and Britain but over the possibility of "a war with Britain in it and us out of it." Professor Elliott proposed an agreement of mutual concessions. Britain would lose nothing, he urged, by conceding that neutral commerce should be free in any private war. that is. a war in which the League of Nations does not agree as to who is the aggressor to be suppressed. It is just as much incumbent upon the United States, he continued, to yield the claims of enutral rights in a League war, saying the Kellogg pact has entirely changed neutrality and that it is inconceivable that Americans should use their claimed rights at sea to benfit a violator of that pact.

U. S. to Aid in Survey of Inter American Hiway One of the Last Acts of Retiring President was to Sign Cole Resolution. Washington, March 21 (Special Announcing the readiness of the United States government to cooper- ' ate in a study and survey of the pro- i posed Pan American highway. Dr. L. !R Tfowo iHwfnr p-pneral of the Pan the nrst formal action Dy tne gov- ernment looking toward the realiza tion of this project. Under the terms of the resolution, the secretary of state, when the funds are appropriat- ed, will have at his disposal $50,000 to De expended in worKing witn tne government of Central and South America in the first field study of this i project that has been undertaken since the days when Henry Clay first broached it. The effect of the authorization is to place the United States in the position of being able to respond to requests for cooperation, if such aid is sought by any of the neighboring countries. -This idea was expressed by Dr. Rowe, who also is chairman of the executive committee of the Pan American confederation for highway education, in a letter to the ambas sadors transmitting copies of the reso lution. "You will recall," wrote Dr. Rowe, "that a resolution adopted at the Sixth International conference of American states requested the Pan American Union to compile informa tion and prepare projects showing the most desirable route for such an Inter-American highway. Because of its peculiar fitness for this work, the governing board at the session of November 7, 1928, requested the co operation of the executive committee of the Pan American confederation for highway education in the prepar ation of these projects. "The Pan American Confederation for highway education has already compiled considerable data on high ways in the American republics, but it is altogether possible that before a route is selected for the proposed Pan American highway an actual survey may be necessary to deter mine the most feasible route. The Confederation will be most happy to cooperate with the governments of the several American republics in undertaking such reconnaissance sur veys, and the enclosed joint resolu tion of congress is intended merely to provide for the cooperation of the government of the United States in any surveys that may be undertak en. "If it is felt that an actual re connaissance survey is desirable, the x ail .rvuitri iclii vuniruci auuu A v i highway education will be most hap py to undertake such a survey and would only request that your govern ment designate one or two engineers to cooperate with the Confederation in making the survey of the most desirable route." The signing of the bill by Calvin Coolidge, the retiring president, was one of the dramatic events preceding the inauguration of President Hoo ver. The signature of the president was affixed to the resolution a few moments before he mounted the ros tru mto hear his successor take the oath of office. Throughout his administration Mr. Coolidge was a strong advocate of cooperation between the United States and the governments of the Latin American republics, especially in the realm of transportation.

Senate Shear Weaver's ideas from Probe Bill "Old Guard" Eliminates Nearly All of House Amendments to the Measure. Lincoln, Neb., March 22. At the end of an afternoon of wrangling, the senate late this afternoon recom mended for passage Governor Weav er's bank guaranty investigation bill. House Roll No. 585, but not until the old guard faction had shorn the bill of practically all of the amend ments attached to the bill in the house of representatives at the gov ernor's request. The senate, however, did defeat Senator Perry Reed's amendment placed in the bill in the senate fi nance commtitee, which would have required the governor to appoint as chief examiner somebody from out side the state. Reed told a republican senate cau cus one night this week that he pro posed that amendment because he had ascertained that Governor Weav er would appoint a democrat. Senator William Randall of Oma ha and Kenneth Wherry of Pawnee who carried on the original battle for the bank guaranty fund investi gation, declared this afternoon that the old guard in the senate was "working to emasculate the bill." Rodman Disclaims Reed Hand. "They would like to kill it entire ly if they dared." Wherry said. Wherry and Randall opposed remov al of the governor's amendments. Senator Dwight Griswold of Gor don bore the brunt of the labor for the old guard faction, proposing one after another amendments which re moved the governor's suggestions, and the party fell into line. Wherry charged that Senator Perry Reed, so-called senate "czar" was "behind the whole business," which statement was so vigorously chal lenged by Rodman of Omaha that it looked for a time as though Wherry and Rodman would come to blows on the floor. "I conceived the Idea of every one of those amendments," Rodman declared hotly. "I take or ders from nobody. Senator Griswold and I wrote them." Reed was whipped by a very close vote on his "pet" amendment, which would have required a chief examin er from without the state. The vote was 17 to 15. The nine democratic senators joined with eight republi cans to sustain the governor's wish in this matter and to overturn Reed. The 15 votes in favor of Reed's amendment were all republicans. Governor Weaver was known to have been much opposed to this amend ment. Schepman" Opposes Change. The eight republicans who voted with the nine democrats to sustain the governor were Senators C. W. Johnson of Potter. Harry Johnson of Holdrege, E. W. McFarland of Ohiowa, William Randall of Omaha, M. F. Rickard of Guide Rock. Charles J. Warner of Waverly, Kenneth Wherry of Pawnee, and Wesley T. Wilcox. North Platte. Senator Henry Schepman of Falls City, Governor Weaver's home town, told the senate that he knew the governor wanted all the house amend ments left in the bill. "I have known the governor for a long time," said Schepman, "and I know he is not in favor of something that would tie his hands." The old guard insisted on remov ing everything from the bill by means of which responsibility for the investigation would be shared with the legislature. The governor's amendments, which were struck out, included a provi sion for a legislative advisory board of five members, two from the house and two from the senate, to advise the governor and the chief examiner on matters pertaining to the inves tigation; a provision which called for confirmation of the appointment of the chief examiner by the house and senate; one which fixed the salary of the chief examiner at five hundred dollars a month; and one which pro vided the governor "shall" appoint a chief examiner. This "shall" was changed to "may" by the senate this afternoon, indicating that the gover nor may do so at his own sweet will. To Conference Committee. The onus of fixing the salary and of making the appointment, under the bill as it leaves the senate, must also fall on the governor's shoulders. Senator Randall declared that the old guard was "throwing in a lot of monkey wrenches." "They want to force the bill into a conference committee," he said, "where six men do what they like with it, or where it can be held up indefinitely." Charges of "politics" filled the air all through the afternoon. It was charged by the group that wanted matters left as they stood that the old guard was trying to choke the bill with cream. The old guard re- talied suavely that since it was the demand of the other side that the - governor be given full power, the, proper thing to do was to leave the wnoie matter entirely in nis nanus, which, they pointed out, was being. done by removing the governor's own amendments.

South America Found to Gain by Open Doors Rapid Growth Laid in Part to Im migration Diverted From United States Hanover, N. H. Problems in in ternational relationships are being discussed at the International Insti tute which opened March 7 at Dart- mouth College under the auspices of tne uartmoutn cnnstian Association. 1 The principal speakers at the initial session were Dr. S. G. Inman, ; author and lecturer on Central and ! South American problems; Prof. L. I C. Porter of Yenching University. IPeiping, China, and Willis J. Abbot, j Contributing Editor of The Christian i bCience .Monitor. Dr. Inman's talk was given before a class in foreign trade at the Amos Tuck school of business administra tion. His subject was "Recent Pan American Relations" and dealt largely with the commercial aspect of these relations. He pointed out that all the South and Central Amer ican nations have developed rapidly in the last few years and that in those countries there is at present the largest extent of undeveloped fertile land in the world. Get Surplus Immigration The reason of such rapid growth, he said, is due largely to immigra tion that has been diverted from the United States since the adoption cf a restrictive policy. South American countries encourage immigration by granting ail in securing land. Their big problem, he continued, is in breaking up the large landed estates , so that land may be given to new settlers. Dr. Inman stressed the dif ference in business methods between North and South America and noted : that our large exports of manufae ! tures to South America were con- sumed by the cultured class, which , life. Mr. Abbot Expounds Clean New3 The chief address of the day was delivered by Mr. Abbot on "The Press and the Foreign Interests cf the United States." He stated that the press probably is the greatest existing molder of public opinion and : regretted that in Europe the greater i rt of the printcd news from the United States is a a sensational character. The same, he said, was largely true of reports received by newspapers of the United States from European correspondents. If reports of international confer ences could be released to all coun- tries with an unprejudiced view, Mr. hhnt Mid mr.rp fnr world neace would be accomplished. Mr. Abbot ventured the belief that, in the future, only those papers printing accurate and important for eign news would enjoy the best reputation. He said the United States should be a model to other nations for fair play, and assume a moral leadership.
