Last week word was received by

of Lincoln. She hastened to Lincoln
to be of .what assistance she could in
the time of sorrow. Mr.. Lewis has
made his home in Lincoln for many
years and had been with the com
pany with which he was employed
for the past twenty years. He. was
on the street services at Lincoln and,
was running a large roller for com
pressing the streets when there was
something the matter with the ma
chine, which needed looking after.
He stopped the machine and was
.working on it and in fr&nt, when the
vibration of the machinery threw the
engine in gear, starting the roller,
which ran over the unforunate man,
killing him. Fellow workmen endeav
ored to pull Mr. Lewis from his haz
ardous position but were unable to,.
Mr. ' Lewis leaves a wife, two

Way erly Stop
Signs Stir Up
City Auto Clubs
Village Action Is Warmly Defended
by Their Authorities Over Om
aha Club Protest
: The stop sign on the main traveled
street or highway of a community
with its attendant violation and
protests over autoists being called
down, is being experienced . at
Waverly where stop signs have been
placed along the new paving through
the Lancaster county village.
The Omaha Auto club has sounded
forth a protest that the stop signs
are traps and accordingly are urging
travelers to avoid Waverly, going
west on highway No.. 16 and thence
south into Lincoln on nignway 77
avoiding the section of highway No.
38 through Waverly.
The process of justice is swift in
the Lancaster county town investlga
tions made by Omaha newspapers
have revealed, and the residents
there are firm in their decisions to
check the speeding which they claim
endangers - the lives of the school
children.
Offenders are flagged or run down
arid immediately taken to court in
a village drug store. - Minimum fines
are $1 and. costs, a total of $5.70
About 10 offenders have been fined
each day-during the week the ordin-i
ance has been in effect
. ; Mayor William, Loder explained;
that 150 children are obliged " to;
cross the highway each day . to-go
to and from school.,
"Speeders Tempted."
'. The new paved highway is
temptation to speeders, he said, and,
the -city council decided steps must,
be taken to protect the children. So
the stop sign ordinance was pased
It' decrees that all cars must come
to- a halt two hundred feet on each
side of the principal crossing at
three periods during the day from
8 to J a. m.) from 12 to 1 p. m.- and
from -A to 5 p. m.
- The'stop signs are put out during
those periods -and the village mar
saall and .his deputy wait in an oil
station at the intersection; When a
car fails to halt they flag . it. or give
chase,: -and haul the offender before
the police court, Dr. A. L. Emery,
.who holds court in his drug store.
, During the first week after school
opened, motorists were only warned.-
This wee kthey have been fined .

tor at the Lincoln Y. M. C. A., as a
passenger, was halted. Both men are
students at the University of Nebras-
Th?y were driving slowly, they
saiu, ana tne rear of their car was
only six feet past the stop sign when
tney halted, at the marshal's com
mand. This they explained to ,the judge,
oui ne was aaamant.
' Judge Takes Watch. -"One
dollar. and .costs." he said.
They did. not have the money.
"A check will do," said the iudse.
"We. haven't any money in the
DanK, said the young men.
. . The. judge was perplexed, but fi
nally Million offered a solution. "I
have a watch I might hock," he sug-
He displayed it. It was a gold
timepiece., apparently valuable.
. Signs Hard f o See.
"I might advance ycu the money,
personally," said Judge Emery. And
he did $6.- He gave Million 30 cents
in change and the motorists went
their way. The watch went into
the "drug store till.
In court Hall contended that he'
was driving slowly, because he had
seen a "slow" sign on entering town
but . had not noticed the stop sign.,'
ii is painiea in oiack letters on -a
white background, instead of on the
yellow background used for .other
road signs.
"1 thought it was just an ad for
the filling station," he said.
.The signs are at the edffe of the
paving, which is new and still, white,
and re not easly - visible, . .. .
- . Fails in ttemnt to Flee. ;
One man was fined $14.70 this
week. He had tried to flee, after the
marshal had directed him to the traf
fic court. He was overtaken and
hauled back. - -
Since. then one of. the officers has
escorted each offender to court, while
the other remains on guard. '
.. Waverly officials were pained at
criticism of their ordinance by the
Omaha uto club, but said it could
not be helped. - - -
"If motorists want to detour
around us, we are sorry, but it can't
be helped," said. Mayor Loder. "We

RIDE; NOT BANK ROBBERS
Hays, Kans;,' Kept. 15. -A 15-yeaT-old
lad -who started out for- adven-
ture "in" the"1 jvtlcTs of ' Mexico -and
stole an airplane to make the trip

the same. age, believed to have been
responsible, for the theft of a second
plane, is being sought.
The' vouths.' J. R. Purdon and
Robert Staab, both of Hays, set out
to see the world Sunday. An airplane
was stolen, at. Great Bend, Kans.,
Staab, who is under arrest, confess
ed. Purom is enough of an aviator,
despite his "15 years, to fly a plane.
Near Ness, Kans., engine trouble
forced down the plane, which ha3
been recovered.
Staab said he and Purdon appro
priated a motor e'dr and drove to Nor
ton,. Kans., , where a second attempt
to obtain a plane failed. Staab then
became homesick and returned to
Hays. But not Purdom.
Yesterday a plane was stolen at
Elk City Okla. ! It was flown here
and abandoned. Purdon was seen
shortly after the ship arrived, u
thorities expressed the belief he was
responsible for taking the plane on
a joy ride.
After a checkup, Kansas and Okla
homa officials decided the theft of

connected with the escape of members
of a gang that robbed a Lincoln, Neb.;
bank last Wednesday, a theory ad
vanced at Elk City yesterday.
RITCHIE FOR FOURTH TERM
Baltimore Gov. Albert C. Ritchie
was -formerly nominated for hhi
fourth term Thursday by -the. demo
cratic state convention on a plat
form which urgtfd return of liquor
control to the states and in the mean
time modification of the Volstead
act, to allow manufacture of light
wines and beer. s .....
The convention" for the first time
since 1923 " failed to "endorse the
Maryland executive' for the presi
dential nomination at the request of
the governor himself. On the eve
of the meeting he-made, public a let
ter to Senator Millard E. Tydings, the
chairman, in whic;li he said "the proceedings-
of our"'convention should
not be diverted from the present cam
paign in this state by any considera
tion of who our next nominee for the
presidency ought to be."
The liquor plank declared the pres
ent system of national prohibition
constituted a "clear departure" from
the principle of state's rights and
was "destructive of the liberties' of
our people." It urged steps to turn
the whole subject back to the state.
Governor Ritchie, in seeking hi3
fourth term, is aiming at an un
precedented mark, that of serving
fifteen years -as a state ! executive.
The republican nominee for gover
nor Is Mayor William F. .Broening
of Baltimore and the republican state
convention is scheduled for Monday.

Uni. of Nebr.
Agricultural College Expects to Have
Big Increase; Women Farm
Students Decrease
Lincoln. Sept. 18. Total registra
tion at the University of Nebraska
was expected to reach 5,500 for the
1930-31 season, according to prelim
inary estimates. Students continued
to register Thursday when 5,400
were reported as having signed up bracka's salvation n the conserva
for courses. tion of adecuate irrigation waters
There are no signs of depression
and reported crop failures around
the college of agriculture.
As registration figures continued to
mount Thursday, Dean V. W. Burr
of this unit was confident that the
enrollment would exceed that of
former terms.
No Drouth Effects
"It is undoubtedly true that
many sections of Nebraska
have been severely hit with
drouth conditions," declared
the dean, "but we are able to
detect no effects of such condi
tions in our enrollment this
year. We look forward to a
prosperous season on the col
lege of agriculture campus."
The number of women students
at . the agricultural college will be
less this year, Dean Burr stated fur
ther, but this will be more than off
set by the added number of men
students who have signified inten
tions of resuming college work.
Although a number of students
attending the university agricultural
college last 3'ear will not be able to
return this fall. Prof. H. E. Brad-
ford of the vocational education de-
partment, who has active charge of
the new students, believes the num-
ber of new students will also cover
up this gap.

professor of botany, will .be. on v the

Claims They Would Pave Way to

Lincoln, Neb., Sep'.. 18. Mor
firmly convinced than ever that No-

Platte, Roy Cochran, state en?i-
nter, returned to Lincoln Thursday
from a jaunt that took him to tho
headwaters of the Platte river in
Colorado and 'Wyoming.

vinced, he firmly stated, that Ne
braska is not ready to enter Inlo
any water compact with the stae
of Wyoming as suggested during
the course of the journey by the
irrigation engineer of the latter
state, who engineered the inspection
hoping to win Nebraska's allegiance
in furtherance of the interests Ir
rigatlonists in Wyoming.
Plan of Wyoming.
His decision to that effect, he ox
Plained, was motivated by the in-
terests of the upper North Platte
valley as well as that district be
tween North Platte and Kearne
where the water situation was acute
dui ing the summer drouth.
The Wyoming plan, he t.aid, was
to effect a series of diversions or
reservoirs along the upper Platte
river to permit utilization of water
on about 52 thousand acres of land,
Wyoming interests, he said, believed
that the diversion could be made
without harm to Nebraska water
users and they desired to reach an
agreement with the Xebraskans be-
fore any overtures are made to con-

Big Summer loss.
"I told them I would not consider
a Nebraska-Wyoming water com
pact until Nebraska water users had
first considered the proposal and had
agreed to it without equivocation.
This. I believe, will never result in
view of the situation here last sum
mer," Cochran declared.
The state engineer quoted
John Neff, Lexington irrigation
ist, as saying that the summer's
losses between North Platte and
Kearney from lack of water in
the Platte for ditches, would
have equalled the cost of in
stalling storage reservoirs in Ne
braska had it not rained from
August on.

Long Impeach
ment is Asked
to be Removed
.Opponets of the Governor of Louis
iana in Lower House Vot
ed in Its Favor
Baton Rouge, La. The lower
house of the Louisiana legislature,
asrembled in special session, late
Wednesday voted a "nolle prosse" of
the 1929 impeachment proceedings
against Gov. Iluey P. Long. The ac
tion was not without opposition,
some members terming it a "white
wash." Tho house of representatives by
formal resolution called on the state
senate to drop indictments against
the governor that have been pending
In the senate for more than a year.
The resolution formally abandoning
impeachment proceedings was spon
sored by Allen J. Ellcnder of Terre
bonne, co-manager of Governor
Long's recent successful campaign
for the United States senate. It was
adopted by a vote of 70 to 20.
Provides Tense Moment.
Adoption provided a tense moment
in the legislature which was concen
ed Tuesday night to vote thru the
governor's good roads program which
was defeated in the last regular
session, before the senatorial cam
paign.
Several who were active In in
augurating the impeachment actions
took the floor to decry what they
termed a "whitewash" and a "stulti
fication" of the house membership.
George K. Perrault of St. Lan
dry led the attack, branding the res
olution as "an attempt to have the
house repudiate Itself, in order that
the chances of the governor, now the
senator-elect, to occupy a seat in the
senate of the United States might
strengthened." , . '
Ellender. said .the resolution was
offered ."in thevinterest 'of " political
peace ln Louisiana. -
The large New Orleans old regu
lar presentation In the . house, re
cently identified among the gover
nor's outstanding opponents, sup
ported the resolution almost unani
mously. Many others who voted for
the impeachment last year support
ed the resolution, saying they did so
for "harmony."
The resolution dismissed the house
board of managers named to prose
cute the charges . in the senate and
asked the senate to drop the seven
pending indictments charging "high
crimes and misdemeanors In office."
In the trial ended In the senate
in 1929 after fifteen senators signed
a petition saying they would not vote
for conviction regardless of the evi
dence because they considered the
impeachment sessions unconstitution
