Ticturcs in a living room, bedroom or

screen prinline and while showing a
decided modern tendency, would be
harmonious in the decorative scheme
of most "period rooms.
One which particularly struck our
fancy was a luxuriously warm design
in two shades of red merging from
dull old brick red the kind found
in Colonial homes in the South to
a lighter pink-red and a pleasant olive
preen. The desigm in this particular
panel was imaginative, depicting a
land in a far-off corner of the world
of Garden-of-Eden vintage, lazy,
warm and verdant. There is some
action, too. jis for instance, "Adam"

the suggestion of wind in waving palm

PLAN RETURN TO GERMANY
Berlin Princess Hermine, wife of
the former kaiser is on a journey
to Nuremberg of a "purely private
nature." It is generally supposed
that she is to take the cure at Ber
chtesgaden, but the communist pa
per Berlin Ammorgen sees in the
trip a definite plan to make arrange
ments for the return of Wihelm to
Germany and his establishment on a
Bavarian estate.
The reichstag recently voted
against extending a defense of the
republic law which specifically bar
red the former monarch from German
soil. It was said at the time of ex
piration of this law that the former
kaiser had no intention or desire of
returning from his exile at Doom,
Holland, and that in any case he
would have to seek official sanction
to procure a passport.

Gov. Roosevelt
Urges Prisoners
be Modernized
Declares, After a Visit, That Some
. in New York are Anti
quatedand Unfit
' Albany, N. Y. Modernization of
New York state prisons as "a simple
act
of humanity" was urged by
Franklin D. Roosevelt. Governor, in
an interview here following an in
spection trip to the chief penal insti
tutions upstate.
"I am not sure Tmt that the time
has come when New York can no
longer tolerate prisons like Danne
mroa and Auburn," he said. "I would
. like to see every prison in New York
State brought up to the modernized
standards of Great Meadows."
He characterized Great Meadows as
"more like a large farm than a penal
institution," adding that of its total
prison population of 1053 only three
men were serving life sentences. He
voiced the opinion that proper con
sideration for the comfort of the pris
oners in this institution was doing
much to keep up their morale
He declared that the facilities at
Dannemora were antiquated, and had
known no improvement since 1845,
when the first cell block was built.
Similar views of the need of prison
modernization were voiced by Dr.
Raymond F. C. Kieb, Commissioner of
Correction, and Milan E. Goodrich
(R. ), Assemblyman from Westches
ter, following an inspection at Au
burn, scene of a recent outbreak.
Dr. Kieb declared that both Au
burn and Dannemora were practi
cally the same as before the Civil
War and characterized them as anti
quated, having "small cells, poorly
ventilated and lighted, with no'sani
r,i
liberty and the possibility of getting
out, and they were willing to gamble
with any danger in the thought of
making a successful attempt to re
gain their liberty
"We are confronted with a serious
problem. Overcrowding, insufficient
number of cells, and no provision
for classification and segregation are
among the causes."

Washington Senator Moses. of
New Hampshire, veteran political
leaders and campaigners, has been se-
jlected by senate republicans to direct
the 1930 campaign in which they
thope not. only to hold their present
.lines, but to increase their majority
of sixteen over the democrats. Assist
ing Moses in his task will be three
newcomers to the senate, but men
long trained in the ways of political
camnaigns Herbert of Rhode Island,

with eighteen other republican sen
ators. These Include such veterans
of the senate service as Warren of
Wyoming. Borah of Idaho, Norris of
Nebraska, Capper of Kansas and Mc
Nary of Oregon.
Only thirteen democrats come up
for re-election next year and since
ten of these represent states in the
normally democratic south, the re
publicans entertain litle hope of
making inroads except in the western
states.
Steck Up for Re-election.
Daniel F. Steck. democrat, is up
for re-election. He was seated in
1926 in a contest with Senator Brook-
hart, republican insurgent, who sub
sequently defeated the late Senator
Cummins in the senatorial primary
and was sent back to the senate in
the general election by an over
whelming majority.
The other two western democrats
whose terms expire in 1931 are
Thomas J. Walsh of Montana, cele
brated as the prosecutor of the naval
oil lease cases, and Sam G. Bratton,
Among the other prominent demo
crats whose terms soon expire are
Carter Glass of Virginia, against
whom there are promises of a sharp
contest In the democratic primary;
Thomas J. Hefiin of Alabama, Cole

Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas, the
democratic floor leader, and Tat Har-

High Duty Bii
is Sure to Fail,
States Capper
Kansas Solon Believes New Era
at Hand for Farmers of the
United States.
Is
Los Angeles, Aug. 4. The tariff
bill, in its present form will never
become law.
When the senate is through with
it the house will not be able to reeog-
jnize it
It will be practically rewritten.
according to Senator Arthur Capper
of Kansas, who arrived here Sunday
for a short vacation.
Senator Capper, one of the out
standing publishers of the middle
west and an ardent farm follower
and legislator, believes that a new
era is at hand for the American
farmer.
"However, he is one of those who
fails to believe that a high tariff is
everything.
"It is not," he declared. "It can
be just as dangerous as no tariff at
all. A sensible application of the
tariff principle is what is needed, but
a wholesale upward revision is no
panacea for the ills of the Amer
ican farmer."
Farm Board Big Help,
The farm board will do a great
deal for the farmer, Capper believes.
The adoption of the co-operative
idea as applied in California is ex
pected to place agriculture on a par
ity with industry.
"President Hoover is strong for
the co-operative marketing idea and
his selection of C. C. Teague of Cali
fornia has been an adirable one,"
the visiting senator declared. "He is
the type of man that wil make the
farm bill a success."
Expects Revision.
Senator Capper will leave in. a few
days to be in Washington for the
opening of the senate on Aug. 19.
"The tariff bill will be one of the
first taken up," he pointed out, "and
when the senate gets through with it,
I predict, it will be 'practically re
written. "No one wants it in its present
shape. It was dictated by the indus
trialists of the east. It is not repre
sentative of America," he declared.
Senator Capper is in unison with j
President Hoover regarding the sus
pension of activities in connection
with construction of the three United
States cruisers. Omaha Bee-News.
SEEKING FATHER
Leroy Madsen, 17; of Kanorado,
Kansas, has written here to various
county officers seeking word as to
Frank McAndrews, who resided sonit

duce the farmers to withdraw from
production a small precentage of
their arable land by planting it in
nitrogen-gathering crops to be plow

"For more than a century the Fed

MAY "SQUEEZE OUT" CHIEF
Hastings The strife that has
characterized city politics here for
many months is "expected to reach a
climax Monday night when the city
council introduces a proposed motion
to reduce the salary of Chief of Po
lice John Bramble to $25 a month
with expectation the chief will resign
as a result.
Chief Bramble Sunday refused to
state definitely whether or not the
proposed act will be successful in
bringing about his resignation.
Unsuccessful in preventing the ap
pointment of Chief Bramble by the
newly-elected mayor, Joe M. Davis,
the council has for the last two
weeks refused to allow payment of
the chief'3 salary. The council, how
ever, has been advised that as long
as the chief continues to serve in
office he may collect his slaary by a
civil suit in the courts. As a result.
the salary redution plan was taken
up.
Recent action against the chief
came after an automobile stripped
down for racing purposes and driv
en by the chief crashed into a truck
on the highway near here, killing a
man. rne cniet was trying out me
car at the time of the accident.
Councilmen also have indicated
they do not approve of the arsenal
purchased by the chief and the
equipping automobile squads with
sawed-off Bhotguns to patrol the city
day and night. "An innocent person
will some day be shot," they predict.
and that will be the end of things."

Four North
Platte Men are
Facing Charges
Group of Four Accused of Being
Leaders in Action of Mob
Against Negroes
North Platte Complaints charg
ing four North Platte citizens with
unlawful assembly were filed in
county court here late Tuesday by
Lloyd Dort, special state prosecutor,
as an outgrowth of the racial distur
bance here on July 13.
Those named in the complaints
are Albert A. Hastings, real estate
dealer; James Miller, insurance
salesman, John M. Campbell, team
ster, and Edward Supanchick, a
youth.
The four are accused of being
leaders of a mob of men and boys
which formed after the slaying of
a veteran police officer by a negro.
The mob visited the negro section
of the city and made threats which
resulted in a general exodus from
the city of the negro population.
Prosecutor Dort, who was ap
pointed by Attorney General Sor-
ensen to investigate the disorders.
said he expected to have the four
alleged ringleaders arraigned for
hearing within the next two daj-s.
"I believe I have sufficient evi
dence to warrant convictions in each
case," he asserted.
The unlawful assembly charge
carries a penalty of thirty days in
jail and a fine of 1 100. State Jour
