Judge McGee Kills Himself in His Office Daughter Finds Body of Federal Jurist—Called “Terror of the Boot loggers.’’ (f'miOmiril from I’nrr One). ‘bets and, through his strict sen tonics. had won the title of "Ten Teat- McGee." ' 1*111 is now pending In the Min nesota legislature, sponsored hy.lodge Miflee, which would require $1,000 from liquor law violators and which increases the possible prison sen tences for such violators. News of Judge McGee's death came as a shook to js-rsons In Omaha who knew him through his term on the bench here when he Imposed fines totalling $1 IS.non and meted nut sen tences to 83 defendants which totaled 75. years. I can hardly believe It," said U. S, District Attorney J. C. Kinsler. Was a Hard Worker. "We heanl from Judge McGee only the other day in regard to several rases. I know that he has been work ing very hard nitf that he has been deeply affected bynis wife's 111 health. "lie was one of the best lawyers I ever saw on the bench and one of the keenest and quickest judges to decide on a law point I ever encoun tered. I think all attorneys who tried cases before him will agree in tills." "That's too bad. lip was a great Judge,'1 saiil Assistant 1'nlted States District Attorney George Keyser. Robert P. Samardtck, federal pro hibition chief, was deeply affected by news of Judge McGee's tragic death. Samardtck, through his work with McGee, bad grown to know him well and visited with him in Minneapolis recently. "High Type of Jurist." "T know that he has worried con stantly over his wife's ill-health," he said, "it’s too bad. He was a great man and a good American citizen and a high type of jurist. He was absolutely impartial and fearless." William Lovely, W. N. Jamieson and Kugene O’Sullivan are three at torneys who tried cases with Judge McGee sitting on the bench. "He gave me a good break,” said O'Sullivan. "When 1 wanted to go to the democratic national convention and asked to have some of my cases continued he agreed, although he was trying to get the cases through as rapidly us possible. He was a strict judge. When he sentenced a man be hied both barrels." News Spread Rapidly. It was some time before Jumleson could be convinced that some one was not trying to play a practical joke. "It can't be true," he said. "I can't believe it." Report of Judge McGee's death spread rapidly and Lovely called The Omaha Hee to learn of Its truth. "It's a tragic thing," he snld, "and hard to believe.'' Judge McGee was probably on# of the most heartily disliked Judges among the boot-legging fraternity who ever said: "Hive years and $1,000 fine." case after case was rushed through with him as Judge, and, on one day, he sentenced 36 men and women to a total of 47 years and imposed fines totaling $75,000.

F<b. 14.—What both | republican and democratic leaders characterized aa a filibuster got Into full swing today In the senate, with a promise that !t would be continued during at least a part of next week. While the Independent offices up propriatlon bill was tnade the vehicle • <f obstructive tactics on both sides | • >f the chamber, Under* said tin* real i opiKisition was directed against the I emergency officers retirement bill, the measure for purchase of the Cape Cod canal and the French spoliations claim bill. The first two have been given privileged status. Senator King, democrat, Utah, and others who have been leading the fight for amendment of the independ ent offices bill, denied that there was any filibuster. While conceding that more time bad been consumed In the consideration of this one meas ure than was given to all of the other six appropriation hills passed by the senate, they Haiti the bill waa important and contained many pro visions that challenged attention. Republican lenders, with whom rests the responsibility for the tarry ing out of the administration pro gram, would not venture an oplpion as to the probable effect of the delay on their program. With only two weeks more to go. however, they feared that a continuation of what they claim Is a filibuster will result In killing several of the measures they have selected for preferential treatment in the senate.

Open to Raid From Air, Former Army Flyer Avers New Fuel Added to Wrangle in Aircraft Hearing; Ses sions Ma\ Last An other ^ eek. Washington^ Feb. 14.- X« w fuel was added to the aircraft controversy I today with such rapidity that the con gressional Inquiry into the nation's air defenses is likely to continue for another week at least, and possibly until the adjournment of congress. Behind closed doors, and in open session, the house aircraft investigat ing committee delved into new fields that brought forth the following out standing developments: 1. A denial by Bear Admiral Wil liam B. Shoemaker that he had "blue penciled” a statement, on the bomb ing of the.battleship Virginia by army a via tore of fthe Virginia coast in 1023 [tor fear the statement would “ruin the navy.” 2. A sworn statement of Col. Harold llartney, former army flyer, that the strategic points on our coast hne are open to attack because of Great Britain's remarkable aerial development. New Probe Planned. 3. A decision by the committee to probe reports of airplane designs con-, ducted vby direction of the committee under the supervision of three army and throe navy officers. These tests are said to differ materially in their finding,* from tests previously con ducted by ihe army and navy and as n result of which the designs were I rejected. 4. Adoption nf a resolution by the committee denying witnesses the privilege of correcting their testimony in writing, a course of action result ing from the very material changes which government witnesses desired to make, without reappearing on the stand. 5. The submission of the names of 13 naval officers who are drawing a 30 per cent Increase in pay as flying officers, although they are not actual pilots. The testimony of Admiral Shoe maker was taken in open session m a result of the charges of (Japt. W. G. Schauffler, a former army aviator, that the admiral had changed a story written on the air bombing test which was to be printed under the signature <»f General Pershing. Statement Denied. Schauffler quoted the admiral sc saving “it's true, every bit of it —but. my God. we can't let it go out—it would ruin the navy." “The man who made that state ment about me,” said Shoemaker, "must have been dreaming or else drawing on his Imagination." "The paper whs not changed hs to ! fact in any way. The entire first I part giving the details of the actual bombing was left intact. Anyone ns ho imagines you can fix r report by Gen ‘•ml Pershing must be ignorant of! the man and what be has done." The admiral then explained the statement was submitted to him hv j courtesy »>f General Pershing and that he had added two paragraphs because he believed it written all t ight front the standpoitn of aviation. \ but not from the standpoint of the. navy. His corrections, he said, merely, pointed out that the water compart ments of the Virginia had been weak ened by the dismantling of the ship before It Whs bombed. In a formal statement Shgemaker told the com rnfttee no naval officer would doubt but what a ship could he sunk if: TNT is put in the right place. Perfect Kefueling Process. The testimony of c'olonal ilHitney, was to effect that (Beat Britain has1 matte two wonderful strides in air craft development, first, by perfecting a process whereby airplanes may l»e refueled while flying from surface Ncsscls. nnd second, by perfecting n scheme of volley bombing” from sir ships. The combination, he said, gives sir craft practically unlimited crualng radius and insures wonderful ef fectiveness in bombing. IOWA FARMERS OPPOSE JARDINE Atlantic, la.. Feb. 14—Represents* lives attending the ninth district farm bureau convention here went on record today opposing the appoint ment of tv. M. Jardlne as secretary of agriculture.

Terror the Goshawk and Hooty the Great Horned Owl spent a great deal of their time hunting for Jumper. He slept with one eye open, as the saying is.

Jumper kept as still as he dared to. Because his I*,.! vvts as white as the snow on which he sat he could not be easily Men unless he moved. Twice Old Mat* Coyote went r‘ght past within a few feet of Jumper and did not see him. But the third time he came that way hr smelled Jumper and headed straight for Jumpers hiding plate. Jumper waited as long as he dared to and then with a great jump away he went. Old Man Coyote was after him in stantly. If the snow had been soft Jumper could have escaped without any trouble. But It was covered with an ' b y cruat. and on this Old Man Coyote could run as easily as Jumper. Now Jumper is one of those foolish people who. when they are fright ened. lose their heads, as the saying Is. If he had run easily he could have tired Old Man Coyote out. But he didn't run easily. He ran with all his might until he was out of breath and had to stop. Then when Old Man Coyote would come in sight Jumper would race away again In a great pa nic. The result was that sfter awhile he ran a much ehortei distance each time He whs growing tired. Oh! Man Coyote didn't seem to l»e tired at all. Juniper saw* this slid It frightened him more than ever He tried aH thw tricks he knew to («*«*! Old Man Coy* j ote. but Old Man Coyote wasn’t to be fooled. He understood every trick j that Jumper tried, and as trick after trick failed Jumper began to be in despair. He couldn't fool Old Man Coyote and he couldn’t tire him out. What could he do? He must find some place that he could get into but that Old Man Coyote couldn’t get into. That was the only way he could save himself. But he was so frightened that he couldn't think. It began to look very much as if Jumper the Hare was running his last race. I Copyright. 1925.)
