Wahoo, Neb., Nov. 2.—Rushing from city to city by train and auto mobile with two and three speeches as a daily diet has failed 'to erase the constant smile from the face of Nathan Soderblom, archbishop of TTpsala, Sweden. Two addresses were delivered here. Thursday night ho spoke at a public meeting in English and this afternoon he delivered a sermon in Swedish after which he made a hurried trip to Omaha by motor. t His ready smile and warm greetings and handclasps give him a resem blance. to former President Roose velt.

At his night meeting, among the distinguished guests in the audience were Chancellor Avery of the state university and Governor Bryan. His sermon this afternoon was delivered in the Swedish language for the benefit of former citizens of Sweden. Archbishop Soderblom was in troduced by L. G. Abrahamson of Rock Island, III., editor of the official church paper and his guide during the American trip. Editor Abraham son addressed his remarks to the pioneers and told of his own exper iences in Nebraska in 1875, when he traveled by ox cart and delivered his sermons in dugouts and sod shanties. The archbishop paid a glowing tribute to the early Bettlers who came to America from Sweden and their perseverance In founding their native church in their new homes. The younger generation he admonished to appreciate the heritage they had been given. To all he declared that the first duty of Swedes is to be ■wholehearted American citizens and advised them they could best serve ^^—^thelr new nation If they preserve their ^^^spiritual and moral inheritance from their old fatherland. Interested in lorn. The corn fields of Saunders county greatly Impressed the archbishop. He insisted in getting out of his car and entering a field where he husked sev eral ears of corn and ate several kernels. Every detail of farming con ditions was the subject of his sharp questioning. Discussing prohibition the arch bishop said he found It hard to make a comparison of conditions here and in Sweden, where the salopn has been abolished for 50 years and drink ing Is regulated by individual con trol.

The difference in area of the two countries also brings about different problems. No Bootleggers hi Sweden. “By the way, If you want to get alcohol In the north, you must not go to Sweden, where you often hear foreigners publicly and privately de plore, sometimes in very harsh words, that they cannot get the alcohol they want,” he said. "But, If you go either to Finland or to Norway, where no alcohol Is allowed, where prohibition Is law, you can get as much a* you want. I do not use alcohol myself, but I have seen with my proper eyes both In Finland and in Norway how much easier it was for any man to get th« quantity he wanted than In our country. Such an observation makes the problem more difficult.” In summing up his observations on prohibition In the United States, he Bald, “It Is no final solution of war, but it means a heroic effort and it will be considered as a great feature of the moral pluck and energy of a great nation."

The- law specifically pro vided that it would remain in force only as long as the present coalition government held together.

New York, Nov. 2.—"I ran't tell how it is coming out. But I wish it were all over. 1 want to get back home to my babies.” Helen Elwood Stokes, young wife of W. E. D. Stokes, millionaire sports man, said that when she stepped from the stand in supreme court here to day after having submitted to more than four hours' grilling cross-ex amination in the suit for divorce brought against her. But there was a gleam of triumph and of happiness in the pale blue eyes, a gleam that shone beyond the tired circles, when Helen Stokes said she "couldn't tell." She knew that she had made an excellent witness. That she had come out with flying colors In her battle with the keen Max Steuer, Stokes’ chief counsel, and perhaps the most astute divorce lawyer In all New Vork. Gets Best of Lawyer. flhe knew, too, that her calm and repose, her coolness under fire, her utter and polite refusal to be trapped, her uncanny way of never being sec ond best after a question had been answered—she knew that these things had nettled Steuer. Never once during those four hours did Mrs. Stokes allow a single one of her answers to leave the slight est reflection on her character, the character she was fighting to save. More than once Mrs. Stokes, after answering what she considered a foolish question, cast a bright smils into the jury box, as much as to say, how could it be any other way?" Denies Stokes’ Charges. On the whole, her testimony was a blanket denial of all statements made by plantiff's witnesses which tended to show her \fri -'dr'-'in with Kdgar T. JkVallace, million dre co respondent, or to portray weak news of character or indiscreet action. Many of her answers were; "No, never;" "Yes," "No." "I never have," Certainly not"—all positive and to the point. No quibbling. No effort to "explain.’’ No hysterical tears. And ye’. Mrs. Stokes, though *ho presented a pretty picture of youth and beauty as sho sat In the witness chair, was really ill. A cold con tracted some time ago had grown steadily worse. Her head ached frightfully. Her cheeks were flushed with fever. And she was very tired. Kteuer's questions covered a varied field. He hopped from one subject to another in an apparently random manner in a patent effort to confuse the witness. Picture* Were "Planted." He asked about house parties which Mrs. Stokes attended In Wyo ming and Wisconsin during her girl hood. He inquired into the matter of probably Incriminating kodak pic tures said to have been ’’planted’ In the defendant’s picture album by the plaintiff after ho came into their possession. He wanted to know if she knew various prosecution witnesses who had declared on the stand that they j had seen Mrs. Stokes In the apart ment of tho corespondent. To all she gave decided answers, mostly 111 the negative. And when dates were Involved she could never he pinned down into a legal trap. Immediately on taking the stnnd Mrs. Stokes was asked "Wmnjt your life with Mr. Stokes unhappy from the day you married?" Came the quick reply. "Well, not from the first nor second day. but shortly after I was married t started being unhappy."

May 25, 1S60, he secured his education in Missouri and was admitted to the bar at Klrksvllle in 1SS0. About 10 years latgr he came to Kearney to practice law and has resided here continuously since. His most marked success in his profession came along the lines of criminal law and Insurance easee.

Nov. 2—Charges of al leged graft and fraud Jn the veterans bureau, now being aired before a sen ate committee, were reviewed in full for the first time today by the presi dent and his cabinet. It was decided, It is learned, to put every facility and energy of the gov ernment back ' of prosecutions seek ing to convict any person guilty of misusing funds intended for the re lief of disabled soldiers. The prosecution will be both civil and criminal, the first to recover all “graft” possible and in the second instance to put persons flagrantly' guilty in jail. \ McCaria Power* thlimited. Senator Reed (Pennsylvania!, who i* directing the inquiry, said while at the White House that one of the most amazing revelations of the inquiry into the expenditure of funds was the unlimited powers given Controller General MeCarl of the Treasury de partment. It was on HcCarl's ap proval that questioned sums wers paid to contractors. MeCarl is a Ne braskan. MeCarl made the payment, he says, without consulting any of the govern ment department concerned. and aftrr President Coolidge had expressed a distaste to being called in to act as arbitrator. Senator Reed declared that this power to authorize the pay ment of funds should be curbed just as soon as coneress meets, and wjl urge this action. The Department of Justice will im mediately take over the work of curing evidence and preparing for in dictments In cases of alleged graft. If necessary, it will establish a divn •lon as comprehensive as the one which is now devoting It* energie* exclusively to the task of prosecut ing persons guilty of defrauding the government on contract* during the war. It was emphasised, however, that ths Department of Justice win not Interfere with the inquiry of the special congressional investigating committee, but will rely largely on | *urh evidence a* developed by this committee as a hasia for action. Coolidge Told of Graft. Just prior to meeting with his cabi ■ net the president held a long confer ence with Senator Reed. The sena tor is understood to have gone over* with President Coolidge the evidence already produced of alleged graft in the building of hospitals and disposal of supplies, as well as avidence yet i to be brought out. i The opinion of Senator Reed was 1 “kbl on the gravity of the charge* . and if the evidence presented a sita , ation as serious as Indicated.
