the automobile he was driving crash
ed into a telephone pole near here.

his father, Jim Woolard, in a tobacco
and news business. He was a member
of the Elks, Veterans of Foreign Wars
and American Legion, and is survived
by his parents, three brothers and six
sisters.
His brother, Harry, is postmaster
here, and a sister, Mrs. Alex Speer,
of St. Petersburg, Fla., is the wife
of an electric company official there.
The accident occurred where the
new highway paving joins the city
and the new turn may have confused
Woolard, as many drivers, from force
of habit continue to take the old
turn, which veers to the south on
gravel.
AIR MRS. EARNEY'S CASE
London. Dramatic details of what
took place in the apartment of Mrs.
Elvira Delores Barney, young Lon
don society woman, when the body
of Thcma:; William Scott Stephen
was found there on the morning of
May 31, were told at a police court
hearing into the murder charge
against her. Dr. T. Durant, who was
called to the bizarre flat atter the
prominent young man had been shot,
said he found the accused slayer in
the grip of hysteria. Mrs. Barney
threw herself down beside the body,
the physician testified, and repeated
ly kissed the dead man.
As thi3 story was unfolded Mrs.
Barney, beautiful auburn haired
daughter of a leading stock broker
sobbed unrestraintedly. Charles Wal
lace IS.- the ptosecution charged that
on May 19, nearly two weeks before
the fatal shooting, Mrs. P.arney shot
at Stephen "with intent to do him
grievous bodily harm."
Republican
Contests Settled
Tentatively
Tolbert and Howard, Ignored by
President Hoover Are
Recognized.
Chicago, 111., June 10. Two of the
administration recognized factions
that handle patronage in the south
ern states were rebuffed by the re
publican national committee today
when they sought its approval as the
official delegations.
Mississippi and South Carolina,
long represented on the republican
national committee by the Negro,
Peny Howard, and by Joseph W.
Tolber. will continue to be so rep
resented on the tentative convention
roster.
In the two southern states Geor
gia and Louisiana the administra
tion groups were seated. These were
headed by James W. Arnold of Ath
ens and Ernest Lee Jahncke of New
Orleans, the latter assistant secretary
of the navy.
All of the contests are subject to
further action by fhe convention and
its credentials committee, which
might override the vote of the na
tional committee.
Ipioied by Hoover.
Walter F. Brown, the postmaster
general and political adviser for the
president, who at the request of Mr.
Hoover set up the special patronage
committees in the southern states,
was understood to have been called
before the national committee and
questioned concerning the seating of
the delegations.
Since Brown set up the patronage

CJill I!! II I l"tS, I III" Jll ISI'lcli I liua ucvii
ignoring Tolbert and Howard in all
appointments involving posts in
South Carolina and Mississippi. Both
have been the national committee
men recognized by the party.
Two of the three district contests
beTore the committee were with
drawn without a hearing. In the
third, both contesting delegations
were teateJ and each given half a
vote.
The compromises reached in the
first two thf Ninth district of Ten
nessee and the Third district of Vir
ginia gave seats to C. .11. King and
R. R. Church, the latter a Negro,
both of Memphis, and Lewis S.
Strauss and George Cole Scott, both
of Richmond.
Likely to Keep Posts.
The other district dispute! in the
First district of Tennessee, had its
roots in the campaign two years ago
in which R. P. Carroll Reece was
defeated by O. B. Lovette after the
president had approved the candi
dacy of Reece. Ivette ran as an
independent republican.
There being no serious contest in
sight for the presidential nomination,
representation on the national com
mittee was the chief thing involved
in the outcome of the delegation dis
putes. The present national commit
teemen, Jahncke from Louisiana, Ar
nold from Georgia, Howard from Mis
sissippi, and Tolbert from South
Carolina, probably will retain their
potss. World-Herald.
A psychiatrist says the average
man retains only one-fifth of what
he hears. Except, of course, what he
hears from psychiatrists he retains
a much higher proportion. That is
why psychiatrists should ha very
careful and doubtless why they are
so careful what they say.

WOMEN CAST DRY BALLOTS
Seattle. Prohibition was disposed
of with airy tranquility here by the
biennial convention of the general
federation of women's clubs. They
again went on record as favoring the
eighteenth amendment and the Vol
stead act and ordered a telegram
sent to Simeon D. Fess, of the repub
lican national committee, and John
J. Raskob, chairman of the demo
cratic national committee, request
ing their stand be read before the
national conventions. Only 13 of
the more than 700 delegates opposed
the motion.
Hoover Forces
to Frame Plank
on Prohibition
Subcommittee Works Late in Night
in Preparation of Platform
Wet Leader Displeased.
Chicago. Administration forces
made a vigorous move toward set
tling in their own way the prohibi
tion controversy which is plaguing
the republican national convention
by taking firm control of the sub
committee which will draft the plat
form planks. Two cabinet members,
Ambassador Edge and Senator Hast
ings of Delaware, fresh from the cap
ital, were chosen on the special com
mittee of fifteen which will an
nounce the 1932 republican declara
tion including the newly finished
prohibition resubmission plank.
Senator Bingham, of Connecticut,
leader of the repeal movement, was
dropped from the special subcomniit-
tce announced by James R. Garfield
of Ohio, chairman of the resolutions
committee. At the same time, the
word spread that the draft of a re
submission plank finally fixed upon
by the administration leaders here
was conciliatory to prohibitionist
demands. President Hoover was con
sulted about it. It was a declaration
recognizing the principle of resub
mission, but insisting that congress
first provided a substitute for the
eighteenth amendment to propose to
the states in regular order.
These developments followed
events popping like a cluster of fire
crackers, including surprise threats
from both for a floor fight and a move
against the national ticket in No
vember.
Bingham Is Displeased.
Friends of Bingham privately ex
pressed opposition over the sudden
turn. The frowning repeal advocates
went into conference to map out their
drive for a finish fight on the floor.
As hearings ran far into the night.
hope for a report by the special sub
committee on the platform before
early morning diminished.
It was 11 p. m before hearings on
platform appeals in public session
were concluded. The committee then
went into executive session. Secre
taries Mills of New York and Hyde
of Missouri, representing conflict
ing views on prohibition, were the
two cabinet members put on the spec
ial platform building committee. Am
bassador Edge, New Jersey's repre
sentative, is a close friend of the
president. Wet leaders said only
four of the fifteen members of the
resolutions committee considered to
be wets were put on the special com
mittee.
Before the specially selected Bub
committee could go to work on the
platform, all members of the resolu
tions committee voiced their views to
it. The subject centered on prohi
bition. The result was an airing of
wet and dry views before the whole
committee in executive session.
Senator Bingham, denied a place
on the subcommittee, called a con
ference of the repeal advocates to
meet with him early in the morn
ing to draft a minority plank in the
event their cause is lost in the com
mittee. State Journal.

Washington Gaston B. Means,
convicted of stealing $104,000 from
Mrs. Evalyn Walsh McLean in a
plan to return the kidnaped Lind
bergh baby, will be sentenced Wed
nesday by Justice James M. Proctor
of the District of Columbia supreme
court. One of Means counsel, T.

Winter Wheat
One-Third Less
than Last Year
Largest Loss of Wheat in Southwest
and Panhandle Other Crops
Look Favorable.
Nebraska winter wheat is fore
cast at 18,250,000 bu. or less than
one third of last year's production,
says the State and Federal Division
of Agricultural Statistics. The con
dition of winter wheat is 51;
spring wheat, 80; oats, 7S; bar
ley, 80 and hay, 7S. Present
moisture supply is favorable except
in some of the western counties. U.
S. winter wheat production is 410,-
669,000 bu. against 787,465,000 bu.
last year. The world wheat situ
ation indicates reduced supplies.
Winter wheat is estimated at 18,
250,000 bu. as compared with 57,-
431,000 bu. last year and the 1927-
31 average of C3.297.000 bu., or
about 32 of the 1931 crop and
29 of the average. The abandon
ment is heavier than expected, allow
ance being made for this in the low
ndition of 51
The heaviest abandonment occur
red in southwestern Nebraska with
a m'li loss and a bi'c loss in me
Panhandle counties. East central
Nebraska lost 49 of the wheat and
southeastern Nebraska 32 while
the other districts ranged around
25 loss.
Although recent rains have im
proved the condition in the eastern
half of the state, the thin stands and
the Hessian fly will hold the yield to
a low figure. Part of the western
counties are still short of moisture
and the wheat is already seriously
injured from drouth and other ad
verse conditions.
Corn was planted somewhat later
than usual, but is about as early in
one part of the state as another.
Much replanting was necessary. The
corn acreage promises to be a record
this year.
Oats are rated at 78. Dry weath
er had threatened part of the crop
but the recent rains have caused
marked improvement. The condition
of barley is S0 and a record acre
age was planted. The crop is mak
ing splendid progress except in coun
ties that are short of moisture. The
condition of spring wheat is 80.
Some of the spring wheat was in
jured by high winds and dry weath
er. The condition of rye is 71 and
the forecast, 2, CSS, 000 bu. against
2,997,000 bu. last year. Stands are
poor and many of them unpromis
ing. The condition of alfalfa is 77;
all tame hay, 78 and wild hay,
78. Stands of old alfalfa were
thinned out by drouth last year. Dry
weather also cut the crop short in
some sections. Wild hay is very
promising in northern Nebraska, par
ticularly in the sand hills. Pasture
is rated at 81.
The condition of fruit crops is as
follows: apples, 61; peaches, 52;
pears, 41 and cherries, 61. In
general, fruit crpos withstood the
late frosts and freezing temperatures
better than expected. A heavy June
drop of apples is expected due to the
heavy crop last year, dry weather,
diseases and - injury from late frosts
which lowered the vitality of -trees.
The general outlook for crops, ex
cept winter wheat is good. Some
western counties are in need of mois
ture. Northeastern and north cen
tral counties which were drouth
stricken last year have very favor
able prospects for all crops except
rye. The heavy abandonment of win
ter wheat will result in record acre
ages for corn and barley.
The soil is not in the best of con
dition due to the fact that the frost
did not penetrate very deeply last
season, the snow covering prevent
ing this. A3 a result, it is packed
and much of the heavy moisture sup
ply was lost. Oats, winter wheat,
barley und alfalfa gave considerable
evidence of this lifeless condition of
the soil, a condition which was be
coming critical before the .recent
rains.
Estimates of crops for the U. S. are
as follows: winter wheat condition,
64.7 and the forecast, 410,669,000
bu. against 787,465,000 bu. last year
and the 5-year average o f620,999,
000 bu; rye, 38,734,000 bu. against
32,746,000 bu. last year and the 5
yr. average of 40,494,000 bu. The
world wheat situation indicates re
duced supplies. The condition of all
hay is 77.4'
alfalfa, S3.5; ap
ples. 58.5; peaches, 51.7; pears,
57.6 and cherries, 67.9.

Monday night to lend emphasi.s to
the demands of local veterans for an

Englewood, N. J,: The place left

hold by the suicide of Violet Sl arpe

son, Dwight, Jr., and her youngest
daughter, Constance, were finishing
the packing of their luggage for a
European voyage to join Miss Eliza

described the death of Mis Sharps
"most unfortunate," but supported
the police statements that she never
had bee;i questioned without a mem
ber of the household being present.
Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh, who
have been staying at the Morrow es
tate, probably soon will visit the
Moirow summer home at North
Haven, Me. Mrs. Lindbergh appears,
a friend said, in surprisingly good
spirits and has been passing much
