Robert Raymond Bryan, new pastor of the United Presbyterian church, Twenty-fourth and Dodge streets. Although Rev. Mr. Bryan's ag« is as yet a secret, he appears to be in the early thirties. He is of slight build and has clear, blue eyes. His first sermon in Omaha given Sunday morning on the lasting power of the Bible was eloquent and convincing, said members of his congregation. Rev. Mr. Bryan delivered this ser mon just a few hours after his arri val here from Pittsburgh, Pa., hav ing missed train connections at Chi cago. He comes to Omaha from an associate pastorship of Shadyaide United Presbyterian church. Follow ing his graduation from Princeton university and seminary in 1916 he w'as pastor of the First United Pres byterian church in Erie, Pa., for six years. He was a teacher in Sterling Col lege in Kansas and *n Amity college in Iowa at intervals between col lege courses. Rev. Mr. Bryan Is untnarrried. He claims no relationship to the Bryan family of Nebraska. Pinchot Tells How Coqliige Can Enforce Prohibition Law Washington, Oct, 22. — Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania, whose un expected silence Saturday featured the White House conference of gov ernors, spoke his mind yesterday In s formal statement placing upon the federal government the burden of responsibility for prohibition enforce ment. Mr. Plneliot in effect, reiterated the position taken publicly a week ago when he placed the enforcement prob lem squarely upon the shoulders of President Coolidge. The governor asserted yesterday that the president's conference of Saturday failed to discuss "the prac tical details of hotv to enforce the law,” he then pointed out how, in his opinion, "the sources of Illegal do mestic liquor can be died up," adding that “the present orgy of lawlessness is utterly unnecessary." His state ment continued: 1 lie main sources of the present flood of Illegal drink are breweries, alcohol producing plants, liquor in bond an.i smuggling. ".Smuggling can be dealt with only by the national government. It Is a problem by Itself. "Breweries and alcohol producing plants cannot operate or deliver their products except under federal per mit, while liquor In bond Is wholly controlled as to Its safekeeping, trans •portallon and release by federal per mits. “In the matter of permits the fed eral government, as t'oiftmissloner Haynes well says, Is solely responsible and tlie states cannot help. "If the federal government would write into each of its permits to manufacture, transport, store or utilize alcoholic liquids certain simple conditions. It would make lawbreak ing so difficult as to be practically Impossible under anything short of actual collusion between lawbreakers aryl the enforcement officials. “I do not suggest that Fennsyl \ania or any other slate be relieved of any part of Its duty In law en forcement, but the states should not be compelled to pick up the bird shot scattered all over the floor by the failure of the federal government to check the flood of Illegal liquor at Its source. "When the federal government uses Its power over permits as here suggested, when it takes the enforce ment service out of politics and raises It to the level, for example, of the United States forest service, or the old Internal revenue service, the flood of Illegal liquor will be stopped at the source, and the whisky rebellion will bo ovpr." Among the conditions which Mr. Plnchot would have written Into the permits are: Revocation of the permit when (he permitee is caught violating the law. Supervision of nianufurture and access to all parts of (ho plant day and night by state and na lional enforcement officers. Products to be sliipiied only at specified llnles and only after in siH-ction and stamping at the plant. Immediately after issuing his statement. Governor Pinrhot re turned to Harrisburg. He was accompanied by Attorney General Woodruff of Pennsylvania. The majority of the governors left • Washington last night on the first '.tains after the White House con l ference adjourned. Others departed this morning. A half dozen strag glers, including Governor Parker of Louisiana, remained thla afternoon but most of them had departed to night.

Commission. * / Washington, Oct. 22.—Wholesalers in the coal industry during recent \ears have been taking profits at‘a rate of more than 200 per cent over their pre-war margins, the roal com mission reported today while retail coal dealers, in spite of increasing costs, have been taking less. The commission's study of coal distribu tion resulted In tts recommendation to President Ooolldge and congress that the federal government be em powered to regulate fuel distribution in times of shortage, but that the re tail handling of coal lie left chiefly for local treatment. Though the commission ceased Its work September 22, the text of Its report on coal distribution became available today In complete form for the first time. “The. commission’s study indicates that there are altogether too many wholesalers,” the report said, “but that notwithstanding this fact, the wholesale trade has made large prof its In most of the ltl-year period from 1913 to 1922, Inclusive, and excessive profits in the panic years 1917 and 1920. The year 192! generally showed more moderate and even small earnings on account of the cur tailment of the tonnage by strikes. The commission’s study also Indicates that the times of shortage and pyra miding of wholesale margin through the speculative activity of wholesalers tesulta In the enhancement of prices without furnishing the public an equivalent In distribution service. “Recurring periods of coal short age with w.lld wholesale speculation point to the need of a public service viewpoint respecting the entire coal trade backed by legislation providing for strict regulatory powers on the part of federal government over the entire production and distribution In terstate of coal. The exercise of such regulation is especially needed In times of shortage and wildly fluc tuating prices. "When real competition for the purchasers tonnage exists, such com petition is probably the cheapest and most efficient regulator of wholesale margins, but In times of shortage It falls entirely. It may therefore be desirable to set up skeleton regulative machinery which shall be put In op eration when and only when, In tha Judgment of the president, an emergency exists.” Rumley Case Review Denied.

B- Associated Press. Washington, Oct. 22.—Republican progressives of the west, who will hold the balance of power In the new congress, are mapping out a program both as to legislation and the origin of the house and senate and are pre paring to enforce their demands by every available means. . Because of the rather unusual sit uation this will develop and the fact that the 1924 national political cam paign Is In the offing, leaders of the two dominant parties in congress look for the enactment of little affirmative legislation at the session beginning December 3. Adjournment probably will be taken late in May for the na tional political conventions and much of the time to that date will Ire taken up with the framing and passing of the annual appropriation bills. Enactment of a soldiers’ bonus bill is freely predicted, but beyond that leaders are not lntllned to commit themselves. Efforts will be made tq put througli some kind of railroad legislation, but there are so many conflicting views on this subject that tlie task of harmonizing them Into a concrete measure Is regarded as extremely difficult. Much the same situation is expected to develop In lespect to the coal legislation. Tax and tariff revision are looked upon as only a remote possibility. Practical politicians In congress do not hesitate to'say that these are dangerous subjects to handle during a national political year and conse quently they do not look with favor upon any plan to open up these laws to amendment. But there Is another and equally as cogent reason—If they should be opened to amendment the progi i-ssive* might force a complete rewriting at least part of the tax law. Generally speaking, the passage of a bonus bill Is viewed at the capital as a certainly. President Coolldges position with respect to this legisla tion has not been defined, but pro ponents believe they will have enough votes to override a veto. Thorton W.

A number of other projects de elgned to better agriculture condi tions are under way. One is to as semble statistics of supply and de mand and make it easy to determine their significance as Indicators of price conditions. Such forecasts, of ficlals believe, will enable farmer* to Increase or limit their output well In advance of price changes on which they now have to rely for guidance.
