i 1 PAGE SIX PLATTSMOUTH SEMI-WEEKLY, J CD SNA! HONDAY, JUNE 23, 1927. Death Penalty for Slayers of Federal G Man Jury in Federal Court at Topeka Gives Verdict After Only a Short Consideration. Topeka, June 25. The death pen alty was assessed against Robert J. Suhay and Glen Applegate, paroled New York convicts, by a jury in fed eral district court here tonight for the murder of Federal Agent Wim berly W. Baker in a gun battle in the Topeka post office last April 1GT It required the jurors, half of them farmers, less than four hours to hold that the two gunmen shot Baker be cause he sought to arrest them for a bank holdup in New York. Suhay, accused by the government of "cowardly" sneaking up behind Baker, had no comment to make after, the verdict but Applegate said to his attorney, II. D. Mcllale: "You can't win 'em all the time, Mac. I didn't give you anything to fight with." Both Must Hang. Both stood gloomily as the ver dict was read. The first degree ver dict, without recommendation of mercy, made a gallows sentence man datory. Judge Richard J. Hopkins de ferred sentence until Tuesday. Defense counsel indicated they would file motion Monday for a new trial. The government used 60 witnesses. The defense attorneys did not use a single witness, basing their case solely on the question of who fired the first shot. They contended Suhay and Applegate thought they were be ing held up, and that Baker fired on them first. Baker was hot down as he sought two men for the $18,400 robbery last March 12 of the Northern West chester bank at Katonah, N. Y. As he approached one of the pair who called for mail at the general delivery window, another man step ped up from behind and fired a bul let Into his back. Another bullet struck him in the abdomen. HOLD ROUNDUP From Thursday's Daily The members of the Masonic lodge at Nehawka staged their annual "round up" last night at the audi torium at that place. Thtre was a very large attendance of the membership of the lodge and their ladies, these representing a large number of the Union and Ne hawka communities. Charles Adams, master of the lodge, presided. There was a very extensive pro gram offered and which furnished an unusually fine evening of entertain ment of music, readings and stunts that were enjoyed. Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Becker, of Union, who celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary Wednesday were honor guests of the "round up," Mr. Becker being a long time member of the Nehawka lodge. Mrs. Roy Cole, pianist and Frank A. Cloidt, vocalist, were Plattsmouth people heard on the program. Herman Thomas, Missouri Pacific agent at Nebraska City, a member of the Nehawka lodge was in at tendance at the meeting and had a part on the program.

You should, for this tasty sea food lends itself to many very delicious "coniDanv" dishes. Through the clear glass of the container you can see that your shrimps are in good condition. That's why I advocate stocking the emergency shelves with bottles and jars made of glass. Try these recipes this month: Shrimp a la Newburg 1 pint shrimp meat 2 yolkiTeggs 1 cup cream 1 cup milk 2 tablespoons flour 4 tablespoons butter 1 teaspoon anchovy essence 1 teaspoon lemon juice Salt and paprika. Melt two tablespoons butter and cook the shrimps in it, adding the seasonings. Scald the milk, melt the rest of the butter, add the flour, stir and cook together; add the hot milk, beat until smooth, then add the cream. When it reaches the boil ing point, draw aside and add the yolks of the eggs, stirring as it thickens without allowing it to reach the boiling point again or it may curdle. Add the shrimps, blend all together, taste to see if season ing is right and serve on toast, or in ramekins with toasted crackers. Creamed Shrimp 1 cup shrimps, cut up 1 i cups milk cup cream (or canned milk, undiluted) 3 tablespoons butter 4 tablespoons flour 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce J2 cup grated cheese Salt and paprika Heat the shrimps in half a cup of boiling water. Scald the milk, melt the butter, add the flour, stir and cook together; then add the hot milk all at once and beat vigorous ly until it has become very smooth. Add the seasonings and the cheese, stirring until well blended in, then add the cream and the shrimps. May j be served on slices of dry, cold toast which have been quickly dipped in and out of boiling water, then but tered. Or serve in ramekins with thin slices of toast or toasted crack ers.

FLOOD BENEFITS CHANNEL The high water in the Missouri river is very beneficial to the cre ation of a new season channel in the Missouri river, the goal of the army engineers who have been directing the river work for the past three years. Captain H. B. Loper, in charge of the work in the Omaha district, has been making a trip by launch over the territory where the water is now overflowing and has been pleased to find that the overflow will aid in the building of the new channel. All re vetments and piling dikes are stand ing the heavy flow in excellent shape the engineers found. Finishing up work by the contrac tors at points along the Missouri will be at a standstill until the water re cedes. GERALD JOHNSON INJURED Gerald Johnson, 14, 525 South Twenty-sixth street, Omaha, a former Plattsmouth boy, was injured when he was struck by a truck while rid ing a bicycle near 2605 St. Mary's avenue.

V J Some Two J Flying Ocean May be Dull for . the Passengers What to Expect when Spanning the Atlantic Becomes a Eegular Thing- Few Years Hence New York, June 27 Flying the Atlantic on those big commercial transports promises to be pretty dull unless the whales blow. The whales do blow sometimes and everybody stretches his neck to see, like the crowd around a hawker on 4 2nd street. But outside of that the citi zenry probably will be a bit bored when the big winged boats start shuttling to Europe. The newly inaugurated New York to Bermuda service supplies an in dex to what spanning the Atlantic will be like in the comparatively near future. The boats are big, im personally sophisticated. Here and there is a hint of a woman's touch on the interiors such a3 in the linen curtains at the portholes but for the most part they are merely great winged flying machines built to a purpose. They are not spectacular either in performance or in the conduct of the personnel. They are efficient products of a mechanical age, and the bridge, up forward, looks vague ly Ike the cabin of a sleek, high wheeled steam locomotive. The hull is as wide as a Pullman coach. Five bulkheads divide .it into compart ments in which eight persons can sit comfortably. Each compartment makes up, at night, into four berths, two upper and two lower. The aisle, amply wide, is carpeted, and on the cabin walls and ceil ings are lights for night reading. Can Stroll at Will Both forward and aft are pas senger loading hatches. The travel er strolls around at will, once the ship is under way, and as the load shifts from bow to stern, the men on the bridge "trim" the ship with an ingenious device which increases the lift of the tail assembly. There are storage .compartments fore and aft for baggage, express and mail Either near the bow or the stern, depending on the type of boat used, are the lavatory and the kitchen. On the Bermuda run the kitchens meas ure about 5'2 by 3 feet. Let a house wife try serving more than 30 per sons from a workbench of that size. The kitchens look much like those in city kitchenet apartments.

Aluminum shelves with slots for securing tumblers, silverware and dishes range about the steward as he stands in his cubicle. The han dles of cups slip over spring traps above him.

His work table measures ZV2 by 2 feet. Below his feet, their covers swinging up at the touch of his shoe, are two compartments with storage space for 200 pounds of non perishable food. lie serves dinner for 30 odd persons, soup to nuts, in a little more than an hour. Takeoff Uneventful The takeoff of the ship is un eventful. You settle into your seat. The ship taxies for the takeoff. The motors tunr Tip. Just forward of the ship's midsection the great wings spread, and by peeping out a porthole you can glimpse a three bladed propellor threshing the air. Salt water thrown up by the hull under the impetus of four motors spews against the porthole windows. Then the ship lifts to its "step," the under portion of the hull which rides on top of, instead of in the water. For a brief moment foam whips from the snout of the boat. Water drains from the porthole windows. Abruptly the spray ceases flying. You are up. Below are trees, homes, inlets which dissolve in a moment in the gray of the open sea, flecked with white. The sun transforms the ocean into hammered silver. Clouds drift by. Some pile up towerlike sky scraper fashion. The pursur and steward fuss about, distributing magazines, pre paring meals, answering calls of bridge players for collapsible tables. There is little or no sensation of inotion. You get acquainted with a fellow passenger across the aisle only if you borrow a cigaret. Per haps an officer will stroll back from the bridge to volunteer information as to altitudefi speed and position. The navigator unscrews a port hole cover and tosses out an alumi num powder bomb to determine drift. The atmosphere is that of an ocean surface liner, even to the presenco of the camera fiends who train their sights on anything, including the man across from you who has gone to sleep. Persistency is wfiat yets re sults in advertising.

Jkg. 1CC Nebraska Pas tures Worst in State's History Fall Sowing of Rye for Pasture Re commended, With Brome Grass, Alfalfa. D. L. Gross, agricultural college extension agronomist, labelled Ne braska's pasture conditons "the worst in history." He urged greater atten tion to a reserve supply of suple mental feed and temporary pasture as part of a necessary longtime pasture program. "The destruction of pasture stands by excessive heat, drouth and over grazing has left few pastures out side the sandhills in a condition for grazing this spring," he said. "Overgrazing and excessive tramp ing have resulted in surface condi tion which promotes the maximum amount of rainfall runoff, thus mak ing it difficult for grasses to make any headway and endangering the land from the standpoint of sheet and gully erosion." Gross advised the use of well sown rye to carry livestock well toward the first of June and permit pas ture grasses and root reserves to at tain vigorous growth. During the hot, dry summer pe riods, he pointed out sudan may be used to relieve permanent pastures. Following the calendar thru late fall pasture, the agronomist listed first year sweet clover and early sown fall rye. In addition, an extra trench silo full of corn or sorgo sil age could be held in readiness, he said. Gross was not optimistic about pastures plowed and re-seeded this spring. The lack of a subsoil mois ture reserve makes survival of these seedings doubtful, he said, unless nor mal or better rainfall is received. For the eastern third of the state, he recommended a mixture of brome grass and alfalfa to furnish early and late pasture which remains de- 1 WE DELIVER . Hot Weather Special: Salad Pressing Qf.

HEAT KILLS HOGS The intense heat of Thursday caused the death of two hogs at the farm of Mike Vitesnek just wst of the city. The hogs were over 200 pounds in weight each and the loss to the owner is quite heavy. Mr. Vites nek is having the remainder of the large hogs taken to the South Omaha market to avoid any further losses from the heat wave among the hogs. GOES TO NORTH DAKOTA Dr. J. J. Stibal of this city, ac companied by his brother. Dr. Cerald Stibal of Gibbon, departed Friday for Lidgerwood, North Dakota, where they will visit their mother, Mrs. Joseph Stibal for a short time.
