** Senate Has Violent Day on Daugherty Adoption of Probe Resolution Expected to Be Passed Today. (Continued From l’a*e One.) that the attorney general would be vindicated completely if given an im partial trial. The Ohio senator was the only republican to speak In Daugherty's behalf. hut Senator Bruce, democrat. Maryland, while ex in easing the opinion that Daugherty was not qualified for his position, said it was yet to be proven that he was not an honorable man. New Issue Injected. At the outset today an unexpected move by Senator Wheeler injected a new issue into the fight already un der way over the investigating com mittee personnel. He modified his resolution by providing that the com.* mlttee should be elected by the sen ate, a. procedure provided In the sen ate rules but seldom followed. Pen ator Wheeler dropped his original plan to name the committee Including himself and with Senator Brooklinrt of Iowa, an insurgent republican, as chairman In the resolution. The modified resolution provides for selection of three republicans and two democrats. This drew Immediate objection from the republican organ ization, Senator Lodge of Massa chusetts, the republican leader, pre senting an amendment providing for selection of the committee by the president pro tempore. This still was pending at adjournment tonight. There wias another tempestuous period In discussion of conferences Senator Willis had held with Daugh erty and Senator Cummins as presi dent of the senate regarding the In vestigating committee personnel. Senator Willis, with a half-dozen democrats on their feet at once firing personal questions, told of his talks with Daugherty and Senator Cum mins, and declared that they were entirely proper. The attorney gen eral, he contended, had a proper in terest in the committee make-up and th$ procedure. Telegram Introduced. After much democratic fire, the Ohio senator said he had suggested to Senator Cummins the names of senators who were efficient and quali fied for the Inquiry, and hotly denied any improper acts. Senator Caraway, democrat, Ar kansas, at this point brought Into discussion the telegram sent by E. S. Rochester, a Department of Justice employ, to Edward B. McLean In the oil case advising McLean that the oil committee was to investigate his bank accounts In connection with the $100,000 loan to Albert B. Fall. Sen ator Caraway asked Senator Willis If he regarded the Rochester tele gram Improper. Senator Willis re plied that If sent by a Department of Justice officer It "was highly Im proper and ought to be punished.” Senator Wheeler said Daugherty himself had "asked for an lnvestiga tion" of his administration and he had promptly Mfeplied by introduc ing his pending resolution. Since that time, from all parts of the coun try. the Montana senator added, he had received complaints involving various charges against the attorney general and the Department of Jus tice. Senator Wheeler said he d'.J not know Daugherty, never saw him until he visited the senate February 22 and had no personal interest in the matter except the cause of "clean government." "I can understand that when any man gets up and tries to clear up a situation, he may expect to be bully ragged," said the senator.

IT ip Makers Made Bad Guess If lien They Said \ Bobbed Hair Doomed - _—-s Columbus, Neb., Feb. 29—A proph ecy was made a few month ago. It was to the effect that bobbed hair was doomed; that the new coiffures would require the use of immense quantities of false hair to replace the tresses our women had so foolishly shorn; that the manufacturers of wigs and the transformations expected to reap a rich harvest. Evidently the wish was father of the prediction in this instance, or else the gentler sex have staged a revolt against the mandates of those who would foist their ideas of "style" upon the usually docile followers of their commands. For bobbed hair and the resultant freedom from long hours at the mirror "doing up" recalcitrant locks has become more the rage than ever. The age limit has been relegated completely, as hosts of older tvomc-u everywhere in Columbus Join the Ad vocates of the "shingle." Platte Ice Expected to Hold for Week Yet Columbus, Neb., Feb. 29.—All was quiet along the Platte and Loup riv ers today as railroad employes, coun ty supervisors and others settled down to a policy of “wratchful wait ing" in anticipation of the annual exodus of ,the Ice. Except for the fart that the surface of the Ice is getting blacker and the open streams are slowly widening, the rivers pre sented the same appeara’nee as yes terday. Indications are now that the Ice may hold several days or even a week, though continuation of the warm weather with night temperature as high as it was last night will has ten the crisis. Supervisor Hector Blaser believes It will hold for a week or more, barring unusual exigencies.

The Old Sprinkler Rewfcmb'Sr 'dtirTng the days of yore -when the wooden sprinkler was driven slowly down the main street.. The water, mixed with the dirt streets, spoiled many a good holiday shoe shine. Those were the days of the dim, flickering lamp and the candle. Electricity then was a mysterious thing which scoffers said could not be han dled by Man. However, men of vision, wrm TTie unswerv ing faith of the early pioneer, continued to experiment. Large sums of money were ex pended in uncovering that veil of mystery which enshrouded electricity. At first electricity was a luxury, only en joyed by the wealthy. Development was quick and today electricity is the faithfui every-minute servant of everyone, regardless of wealth, religion or creed. Omahans are very fortunate, for electric light and power rates here are practically the lowest in America That's Another Reason Why— "Omaha Is a Great Place in Which to Live."
