Havxby to be Democratic Keynote Speaker Auburn Attorney Announced as Se lection by State Chairman T. S. Allen Tuesday Fred G. Hawxby, attorney of Au burn, has been chosen to pull the tail feathers out of the republican eagle in the democratic state conven tion, beginning promptly at 1 o'clock in Omaha May 5. a duty imposed up on the "keynoter" or temporary chairman of that body. The selec tion was announced Tuesday by Chairman T. S. Allen of the demo cratic state committee, who has full power from the state executive com mittee under the ritual of the dem ocratic party formed by custom and precedent. Mr. Hawxby has been highly rec ommended for the job. lie is a demo crat, a Bryan democrat, a lawyer, a Kradnate of the University of Nebras ka, is a practiced speaker whose elo quence cropped out in his youth when he was a debater at the uni versity, and came to fuil fruitage when he served as a member of the lower house of the legislature in the year 1901. At the prtnt time ho is the dem ocratic nominee for the state senate and hopes to go to Lincoln next Jan uary to carry out the "Bryan pro gram" in tax reduction. At the state convention Mr. Hawxby will retell in his own way the democratic story o: now me republicans tailed to give relief to the farmer, how countless thousands were ruined by a nation al tariff law and how President Hoo ver failed in his pledge to put a chicken in every pot and two cars in the garage, and how all this can be accomplished by the democrats if AI Smith does not interfere. At the clo.-e Mr. Hawxby will prooably take a side seat as it is written in the democratic code that a state convention, like a national convention, shall elect its own strong arm mar. to wield the gavel and exert his commanding influence up on the convention as permanent chairman in trying to keep 1.00S democratic delegates in order. Chairman Allen of the state com mittee is still reported determined to escape election again and the talk is that he is trying to shoulder the job off upon State Tax Commission er W. II. Smith, who in turn alleges he is too busy with his official du ties. It has been some years since a state house appointee belonging to a political machine has served as chairman of either the republican or democratic state committees. In the old days it was the custom to con fer this honor upon a state appoin tive officer and to give him a vaca- tion from his state duties during the months of an active political cam- pai n.

SEAECH MADE FOR SUSPECT Pasadena, Calif. Police guarded all roads leading out of Pasadena in the belief that they were about to arrest Frank Frey, fifty year old gardener wanted at San Diego, in connection with the slaying of ten year old Virginia Brooks. The girl disappeared Feb. 13, 1931, and a month later, after a search that ex tended to all parts of the country, her body was found on the Camp Kearney mesa of a sheepherder. Cir cumstanles recently were said by po lice to indicate Frey had knowledge of the girl's death and the report that he had been seen on a street corner caused an intensive police search. NO LONG TIME BOND ISSUE New York. Allan M. Pope, presi dent of the Investment Bankers' As sociation of America, told members of the New York group of the asso ciation that the United States gov ernment does not intend to float long term bond issues this year. The gov ernment, he said, will stick to offer ing of short term securities. The smaller country banks, he added, should be in the market for these issues. - Journal Want-Ads cost only a few cents and set real resultsl X States Insist on Ore Rights in Public Lands Defeat of Hoover Project Indicated in Hearings at Washington; Opposed by Pinchot Washington President Hoover's proposal to turn unappropriated public lands over to the individual states appears destined for deafeat due to the unwillingness of the states to accept such lands without the mineral rights the plans reserve to the nation. The hearings being held before the Senate and House Public Lands Committees indicate the determined opposition of western public land states to any such measure which fails to give them complete title to subsurface as well as surface rights. It is primarily the valuable min erals below the surface of the vast arid and uninhabited stretches of public lands in the West which the states are after. But renunciation of ownership to such subsurface rights is not contemplated either in the report of the President's commission on public domain or in the bils be fore the two committees which are based on that report. Opposition to the measure also conies from Gov. Gifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania and from the Ameri can Forestry Association, who fear certain provisions in the measure would turn portions of national for est over to states for private ex ploitation. Opposed by Pinchot The Governor of Pennsylvania considers the bill threatens the con servation of national resources policy established by President Roosevelt and would end the fight of a gener ation to save the forests, minerals, lands and waters of the public do main. Mr. James R. Garfield, Secretary of the Interior in the Roosevelt Cabinet., who as chairman of the President's commission was respon sible largely for the pending legisla tion, believes the objection of Gov ernor Pinchot and the Forestry Association is based on a misunder standing of the terms of the bill. The report of the commission em phasizes the necessiiy for retaining mineral rights and recommends ad ditions to the national forests in ac cord with a plan prepared by the Forest Service rather than alienation of any portion of existing forests. But whether this opposition can be allayed by explanation of the measure, that of the western states cannot. Nothing will satisfy them except complete mineral rights. For, as their representatives point out. administration, of the land would for the most part prove an expensive burdon without any pros pect of reward. Proceeds for Education Therefore, unless some compro mise can be achieved on the ques tion of mineral rights the measure is considered certain of defeat and the Federal Government will have to con tinue to administer its 178,000.000 square miles of unappropriated pub lic lands, in spite of the work of the commission which looked toward putting at least a share of this bur den on the states. The measure, as it stands now, provides for the releasing of the lands to the states on request of the states legislatures. The lands would be subject to lease or sale at a mini mum price of $3 an acre, the pro ceeds to be held in trust by the states for educational purposes. All mineral rights would be ex cepted from the transfer and also acreage to be set aside for addition to national forests on recommenda tion of state boards to be set up un der the bill. Other sections provide for estab-' lishment by the Government of na tional grazing ranges if the states fail to accept fbe land within 10 years; co-operation bet wen the states and the Government in recla mation work, and prevention of erossion and other matters pertain ing to a final settlement of the pres ent uncertain status cf public lands.

Twenty- three farm leaders of Peters county of South Dakota and Pierce and Knox counties of Nebraska met here today to discuss means of obtaining relief for farmers in connection with their federal farm loans. According to J. P. O'Furey of Hartington. Neb., secretary of the meeting, many farmers in this area have been forced to defer payments on their federal long time loans dur ing the past two years. In many of these cases, the farmers had met their payments on the loans for sev eral years previous to the disastrous drouth period. To Petition Congress. To secure these deferred paj'ments further the federal land banks, Mr. O'Furey said ,are now seeking to have the farmers sign mortgages on their live stock, farm machinery and other property in addition to the mortgage on the land itself. The meeting today was to discuss means of aiding the farmers to ob tain new land mortgages to cover the deferred payments. Those at tending expressed the opinion that congress could pass legislation per mitting the federal land banks to re finance the land mortgages to cover deferred payments or to permit the banks to spread this amount equally over the remaining payments of . the loan. Committee Is Named. A committee composed cf B. Ready of Kartington; John Forsyth of Nio brara; A. J. Reisenraph of Crofton; R. W. Hahn of Randolph and George B. Gould of Pierce, was appointed to draft a program to be presented at a mass meeting of farmers at Creighton, Neb., on Sunday after noon at 1 p. m. The program as adopted at the meeting Sunday will be forwarded to the Nebraska delegation at Wash ington for consideration and action. Today's meeting was called by the central executive committee of the drouth relief organization. World Herald. SMITH A REPUBLICAN ASSET New York. William Allen White, editor of the Emporia, (Kas.) Ga zette, sees Alfred E. Smith as a "re publican asset." who is doine his best to make the rural west vote re publican this fall. The militant edi tor, scrawling written answers to questions in an interview, said Smith's tossing of his hat in khe presidential ring was "the first ray of hope we republicans have had since 1929." "As a matter of fact," he said, "his is the best set of brains in the democratic party. But he seems de termined to make the necessary dem ocratic dog fight to elect Hoover." Admitting agrarian unrest was evi dent. White said if an election were held now the country "would be lucky if anything so conservative as a democratic victory would be achiev ed in the rural west." "But." he continued, "the elec tion is not held today. The demo crats have not had a chance to make the mistakes they always make in crises. In another four months the farmers will be so mad at the demo crats that they will vote for the re publicans." White said Governor Roosevelt would "not stand the test of a Beach ing campaign." R0LPH DELAYS DECISION Sacramento. Governor James Rolph, jr., called another conference! of legal advisors Tuesday after post poning until Thursday his decision on the pardon application of Tom Mooney. Originally set for Wednes day, the decision was delayed twenty-four hours "by some matters now under investigation." the governor said. He did not reveal the nature of his last minute inquiry.

Simmons and Johnson Speak in Opposi tion to Payment. Washington. Three veterans of political and World war battles Tuesday launched the counter attack which administration leaders hope will block the 2 billion dollar bonus payment. Representatives LaGuardia of Xew York and Simmons of Ne braska, formerly of the air service. and Representative Johnson of South Dakota, once an infantryman, assail ed the currency expansion plan to cash the bonus certificates. All three republicans favored changes in the existing law, a point immediately stressed by Representative Patman, Texas, who is leading the bonus fifrht. But rone favored the $2,400, 000.000 cash payment. 3rig. Gen. Frank T. Hines,. vet erans' administrator, is the next op position witness scheduled. Charles G. Dawes, head of the Reconstruc tion Finance corporation, is expect ed to show Thursday how this hupre credit source has helped the small banker and business man. LaGuardia, independent leader. led off for the opposition, demand ing national unemployment insur ance instead of the bonus pa3ment. "If a secret vote were taken on this bonus plan in the house, there would not be thirty voles for it," LaGuar dia said. "I am here in behalf of C million unorganized unemployed who have no means of reaching con gress and can't understand why con gress doesn't do something. Not over 13 percent of the unemployed are veterans. What will be the feeling of the veteran's neighbor who is out of work if congress saye it has set tled the unemployment question by paying the bonus? If we are going to print money let us use that money as aninitial fund for national. unem ployment insurance." Why Be Deceived by Free Trees and Bulbs?

Sim mons joined in urging amendment of the two year provision. "I don't think you can pass this bill without treating another panic," Johnson testified. "All that will come out of this propaganda will be the tragedy of blasted hope. Cur rency expansion should be obtained under the Glas-?teagall act that will permit contraction wLfcn dtii'd.'.' Simmons said, "I do not believe it can be e?tablished that the money is due now on these certificates. I would favor amendment of the exist ing law so that whenever any ser vice man desires to surrender his certificate and accept payment that ! he would be paid its value," he said. "But beyond that I do not believe congress hould go." State Journal. MAYOR WILL LIVE CHEAPLY Syracuse. For the next week. Mayor Roland R. Marvin is going to live on food costing exactly nine cents a day. That is the co?t of food per diem under the dietary schedule worked out by Dr. George C Ruh land. city health commissioner, and his advisory committee to be used in feeding thousand? on the city's wel fare rolls. Said the mayor: 'I do not want to give to the people of the city a diet that I would not use. I will note the effect the diet has on me and I will be able to judge wheth er it is sufficient." FINANCES RUN LOW Raleigh. X. C. Depleted finances are threatening to halt activities of the North Carolina Anti-Saloon league. C. W. Upchurch. etate super intendent, said in urging prohibi tionists to rally to the cause. Up church attributed the drop in rev enue to business conditions, the fact that dry. are showing indiffer ence now that prohibition is in force and some democrats have stopped supporting the league because it op posed a wet presidential candidate in 192S.
