Politicians Be Refused Gas, Oil Dealer Says Industry Must Fight, Kansas Man Writes Local Concern —Spillman Secures Letters. A letter from a member of the Derby Oil company In Wichita, Kan., to one of the high officials In the Nebraska Independent Oil Men’s association Is being filed as evidence in the case of the state against thelB major oil dealers of Nebraska by at torney General Spillman. The possible lowering of prices in Kansas City, copying what has been done in Omaha, was discussed in the letter, as wre!l as the way in which this was stopped by the oil dealers. The letter, in part, follows: “I have been considerably perplexed to understand why the oil men of Ne braska do not get an Injunction against the city officials of Omaha and test the authority of a city to engage in competitive business with private business. I believe this is one of the most dangerous things con fronting our buisness today, and It seems the oil industry ought to pro tect itself. Stops Sale at Kansas City. "I was glad to learn from you no formal organization of state presi dents and secretaries was formed. Until such time as we can get to gether on a more common footing, and until such time as it Is possiable to get through a resolution which Is fair to al! sides, and without a dem onstration of ill-feeling of one branch toward another, I shall not be sat isfied to see a formal organization accomplished, because I believe It would do more harm than good. If we are Informally held together, any action we may take will not have such effect as if we were a formal compact. "I shall be very glad to work with you under present conditions and do and thing to help bring about a senti ment which will avoid clashes. “I had not noticed that the national presidents had formed an organiz ation. I trust they will be able to ac complish something for the real good of the oil industry. The pitiable thing now Is that so little really construc tive work Is being done. We are al lowing politicians to run away with ns. In Kansas City, Kan., this week, an attempt was made to reproduce '.smaha. In less than 24 hours, the r.absas and Missouri associations had united heartily together to prevent any unseemly action. It Is possible a one cent tax will be levied, but I doubt If thehe is any furthe disturb ance. iteaoy in r ignr. "Most of the time these things can be Ironed out If associations do their work intelligently and promptly. I get very much out of patience with association leaders sometimes, and with their organizations. "It seems to me the oil Industry in perfectly Justified in refusing to sell gasoline to politicians or anyone re presenting politicians. We have a right to sell our products to whom we wish. I would like to see the oil in dustry fight, and fight with a dignity of its Importance. They cannot tell me we are criminals without the right of self protection. And when we refuse to protect ourselves, we en courage the idea that we don't de serve self-protection.” Very Sincerely yours. H. O. JAMES.

B. Howell, who is here from Washing ton. "Do you mean that you would re move the tariff?" he was asketfr “The east says the farmer's prod ucts can't be protected economically, so the corollary is, 'down with the tariff,' ” the senator answered. “How would you give the farmer protection?" “By paying him a bonus on his products consumed in this country, raising the money to pay for it by means of a sale tax,” he said. “Under the present conditions he has to take the world price for his products, competing with cheap labor in all other lands. The manufactur ers don't have to do that, being pro tected. The steel men have sold products in this country at $42 a ton while they were selling the same, de livered in France, at $28. Foreign Market Good. "The democrats talk vaguely of restoring the foreign market for the farmers' surplus. But statistics show that last year 74 per cent more farm products were sold abroad than In 1913.” Senator Howell declared that the prospect of passing the bonus-on farm-products measure is good. "It is a just cause and deserves to win,” he said. "The business men of the west ought to get behind It be cause the farmers' prosperity Is their prosperity. We are agriculturists out here. My Interests are with the farmer, and I believe this is the way to bring back the prosperity to hint by putting him on an equality with business. Compares 1913 Prices. / "Today It takes more than two car loads of hogs to buy farm implements that the farmer bought with one car load in 1913. It takes two cars of cattle, or a car and a half of wheat to buy what one car bought In 1913.” The senator will return to Wash ington after a short Btay here. "I have much work to do and can do it best there wher my office force is,” he said. "Each senator has a secretary and three assistants. It’s no snap to work in my office. I try to get each letter answered at once or as soon as the information which it asked is obtained. I have received as high ns 19S letters in a day.” Burglars “Little Woman” May Join Him in Prison, After His Yearning The muttered prayer of Jack O’Neill, Omaha burglar, that the "lit tle woman" would be waiting for him when he emerged from state prison seven years hence will be answered. Omaha police promised O'Neill Wednesday that she'd be there. In fact, police told O’Neill, she may be there all the time. It wasn't until Pearl Frayer, 703 Leavenworth street. the "little woman,” called at police headquarters to demand certain dry goods, which O’Neill had turned over to police that officers could Identify her and take steps to carry out O’Neill’s desires ex pressed in district court at the time he was sentenced. ' '■ ■ - However, as soon as she was identified as the "little woman,” the police made all possible efforts to comply. Pearl at first denied participation in O'Neill’s series of burglaries. Fin ally, when the story of his desire that she be there when he gets out was unfolded, Pearl, according to police, confessed to aiding O'Neill In robbing a houfee at 3523 Pinkney street. The only difficulty officers had in identifying Pearl as the "little woman,” was due to difference In O’Neill's idea of size and those en tertained by police. The "little woman,” according to police, tips the scales at 200 pounds. She Is being held for further investigation. EX-NEBRASKAN DIES AT MANILA Mr*. Joseph L.

Old Man Coyote had the same feeling. Both, angry and disappointed, had watched Yowier the Bob Cat bound out in front of that baby Porcupine. They had seen him hesitate a mo ment, then reach out with one paw. Then things had happened. With a yowl of pain Yowler had snatched back his paw more swiftly than lie had put It out. And then, holding that paw out, he had hurriedly backed away on three legs, yowling and spitting and snarling. In that paw were several little spears from the coat of that baby Porcupine.
