LINCOLN. Au. a.-ifpeclal.l-Hamiiel
Roy McKelvle appears to be very much
surprised that liny one should arrlns; hla
name In ronnrrtlnn with the republican
nomination for the overnorhlp ami says
that "Just now tnere la nothlnf doing."
The announcement that Mayor William
Madgett of Hastings and former Mayor
Miles of the Mine townwere randldates
for the tame plav may or may not have
made ome difference to the plana of
Mr. McKelvle. Of this the (rental -lieutenant
governor l not talking.
However, ahould Mr. McKelvle keep out
there appeara to be plenty of othera who
are willing to ahy their hata In the ring
and get Into the game.
Resides the two Hsstlngs men. there la
till talk that ex-Stats Treasurer Walter
George might qualify, while rumora keep
coming that Itrpresentatlve James
Nichols of Mndlaon la tasting his eye
in the direction of the governor Job.
Then, too, J. H. Kemp of Fullerton. who
came so near two yeare ago, may have
to be reckoned with. The latest coming
to the atate capitol la that Judge Sutton
of Omaha could be prevailed upon to enter
the list without much persuasion.
It might be Interesting to announce that
when Senator Elmer J. Burkett resumed
from hla automobile trip to the exposition
he found severs! letters on his desk
urging him to get Into the fight for the
nomination for the fnlted States senate.
In connection with this office It la gen
erally understood that former governor
Chester H. Aldrlch la looking with long
Ing eyea toward the same Job and
wondering If he can sidetrack John L
Kennedy of Omaha.
Word eomea front the Fifth district that
Hon. V. EL Andrews will try for the re
publican nomination for congress. Po far
the only other possibility mentioned Is
e-Conirreman 81 la R. liar ton, who
fell down last time.
On the democratic aide there will be
candldatea for governor galore. It la not
beyond the possibilities that Oovernor
Morehead. might be prevailed In the In
terests of harmony to be a candidate for
a third term, though If he does it will
be against hla own wlHhea. Dr. P. I
Hall la being touted, but as usual the
doctor does not seem to take kindly to
Jobs of that kind. Judge Thomas of
Howard la mentioned as 1 also Senator
Kohl of Wayne also.
Another report which reached the
atate house the laat week was that Ken
a tor John Mattes ef Nebraska City wouM
be a candidate for the democratic nomi
nation for atate treasurer.
Very little la heard from the bull moose
camp. Chief of Bteff Corrlck la busy
these daya selling real estate and does
not stop long enough to talk politics.

Thomas Dismisses
Case Affecting the
Lincoln Highway
(from a Staff Correspondent.)
UXCOLS. Aug. I (Special.) A case
recently appealed to the supreme court
from Merrick county Is of considerable
importance to automobile people, aa It
materially affects the Lincoln highway.
The case Is known on the records aa
Donovan vs. the Union Pacific railway.
It appears that in 18 Merrick county,
having used and claimed a pat llo road
through the county along the right-of-way
of the Union PacUla road, the com
pany denied the right of tho us of lis
right-of-way for that purpose and began
to fence It The county authorities di
rected the road overseers to remove
the fences and a suit was begun In the
United States circuit court to enjoin the
overseers and the county officials from
Interfering with the fences. -
Aa a result of that litigation a final
decree was rendered by the cofrt giv
ing Use county a public road through the
rounty sixty-three feet south of the
center of the main track. This Judgment
of the court was never appealed from,
but the railway company, recently has
leased the part of the right-of-way from
the village of ' Chapman, west to the
Hall county line to adjoining property
owners, who have fenced up the publlo
highway adjudged by the court to be an
established road over the company's
right-of-way.
The recent suit was commenced against
tho railroad company and the lessees
of the right-of-way to enjoin them from
closing: the road.
Judge Thomas last Friday sustained
a demurrer to plaintiffs petition and
dismissed the rase. In effect holding
that the decree of the United Ftatrs
court was null and void. From the hold-in-
the case has been appealed to the
supreme court and the Interesting point
is as to whether a decree of the United
states court, which has Jurisdiction of
the parties and subject matter, ' unap
plied from, can be nullified by an In
ferior state court.

BRIDGEPORT, Neb., Aug. t. (Spe
cial.) While a violent electric storm was
In progress laat night, accompanied by a
heavy downpour of rain, the Burling
ton's ke house st this place was struck
by lightning and badly damaged before
lite flames were extinguished, although
the fire department worked heroically In
the deluge of rain and within a few
minutes had to streams of water play
ing on the flames. This building seems
to be a mark for the fiery element, hav
ing been partially destroyed about two
ears ago, afwr which It was repaired
and moved to lis preaent location.
FOUR DEATHS SO FAR THIS YEAR
Joe Cooper, who was killed In the auto
derby st Des Moines Haturday, louts Plel.
hla mechanician who was seriously In
jured, and Wily Chandler, who was also
seriounly and perhaps fatally Injured, all
took part In the Omaha race on July R.
Cooper piloted the same Bebring In which
he was killed and Chandler the same
Deuarnbetg. Roth failed to finish In the
Omnha race because of engine trouble.
During their short stay here Cooper
and Chandler both became very popular
among the speed enthusiasts. Cooper at
trs'ted everyone with his flaming thatch
of hair ami hla good-natured grin. Curi
ous Omahans who flocked to his garage
after he dropped out of the race found
Joe willing to tell them all atout his
motor and his hlatory as a racing driver.
Seldom Is a driver found who will talk
about his Iron steed to the layman.
Victim of Hard I.sek.
Cooper was new to speedway racing.
11 In first race on a speedway was at In
dianapolis Decoration day. At Indianap
olis he was forced out of the race with
engine trouble. In his next race he won
tenth at Chicago. At Blou City ha was
flagged off ths track with only a few
laps to go. The ruling was made on an
arbitrary technicality. In the Omaha race
Joe was foT'-ed out of the race on the
l.TTith lap when his hearings burned out.
It seemed that s cruel fate was con
stantly punnilng him, but tho good
natured youth never complained. He
built his car himself.
Louis riel, Cooper's mechanician, once
worked In an Omaha garage. He has
many friends In Omaha, among those con
nected with the automobile Industry here.
Jsksios la Portaaate.
Morris Keeler, Chandler's merchantman
who was killed, did not take part In ths
Omaha race. Art. Johnson acted as
Chandler's partner here. When Dr.
Cooling, who entered the Cooling car In
the Des Moines race, looked about for a
driver he selected Tele Henderson, who
wss Eddie ODonnell's mechanician In
Omaha. Pets took Art Johnson along as
mechanician and Keeler was signed for
Chandler. Only the course of circum
stance saved Johnson, probably, from the
death that was In store for the man rid
ing with nuiy.
Cooper Is the fourth of the country's
leading race drivers to be killed this year.
Callaghan was killed on the coast In
January, Cox at Hloux City and nilly
Carlson at Tacoma. With races yet to
be hold at Elgin, Minneapolis, New York
and Corona, It Is probable that this Hat
of fatalities, will be augmented.
It was In 1M4 that the famous Spencer
Wishart was killed at Elgin.

ASSERTS WILLARD
MEETS DIME AGAIN
Curley Sayi Johnson's Bo a it that He
Threw Fight Responsible
for Offer.
INDIGNANTLY DENIES STORY
LINCOLN. Aug. ".Nettled because
Jack Johnson has been telling It In Ixin-
dnn that he threw the Willard fight for j
M. and that he could have whipped
the white champion with ease. Jack Cur
ley, who promoted the Wlllard-Johnaon
fight will offer Johnson a return match
and expects Willard to agree to It,
although the champion drew the color
line right after winning the title.
Curley Is visiting friends In Lincoln1 and
tonight Issued a statement In which he
proposed the return engagement and went
Into detail to show that Johnson was all
"broken up" over the defeat and wept
many times during the day before Wil
lard and Curley left Havana. Curley ex
plained what he considers the reason for
the black man's boast as It was printed
In the English sporting paper, "John
Hull."
Johnson quarreled with his white wife,
according to Curley, over the proposed
economy standard.
"I dint know what happened after
their arrival In England, but Johnson
must havs been almost craxed with
desperation." said Curley. "I used th
word 'erased' for certainly Johnson must
be crasy to tell the world and expect
them to believe It, that he never entered
the ring without being paid In full In
advance; he, who never took the word of
any body for anything; he who waited
at hla own home In Havana until I ar
rived with hla balance of a.oo0 for hla
guaranty for the Willard match; that he
would an easily accept tho promise of a
paltry VH.OOO to 'lay down' to Willard
and give away his title."

SATS ALLIES' PLANS FAILED
iCorresirnd nee of the Associated Press.)
C.KNBRAL IIKADQCARTERS, flttlll
poll, June If "There are no secrets
sro.ind here. Tou can go anywhere you
Pleaae." aald Field Vnr-he.1 Llman von
Pondera Pasha to the Associated press
correspondent, when the latter ptesented
his credentials and naked for permle-Mon
to visit the front
"I may add that the military situation
la moat favorable for us," he continued.
"We Intend driving- the British out of
Arl Boumou before long. But we are In
no hurry because wo can achieve that
without making the sacrifices which
might atlll 1e neccaanry to tret rid of the
enemy."
Tho supreme commander of the Turk
ish fore on the Galllpoll peninsula is a
man somewhat advanced in years, but re
markably well preserved. He Is about
six feet tall, and well proportioned In
body; there Is a soft quality In tho llnog
of his face and the expression of his eyei.
IJman Paaha came to Turkey In the
summer of 11)13 to aaatat, as head of the
German military mission. In the reorgani
sation of the Ottoman army. Ha has
been an Indefatigable worker In that ca
pacity, and ths splendid conduct of the
sultan's troops in this war may be said
to bo largely due to the reforms Insti
tuted on Id advice.
In his conversation with tho Associated
Press correspondent. Llman Pasbe out
lined briefly the course which military
events on the peninsula had taken since
the landing In tho last week of April.
Allies Lost a a Urssst.
"In foity-nln days (ths Interview oc
curred rn June 11) tho allies have done
little beside losing ground steadily," said
the commander.
"Their offensive collapsed as soon as
we were able to counteract their tac-
tlca. It must be borne in mind that this
happened despite a tupeiiority In artil
lery that left our own arm of that char
acter no chance whatever. For days and
days tho allied ships bombarded and
searched every part of the peninsula
with an artillery fire (is severs and Inces
sant ai, on the whole. It was unproduc
tive of result favorable to the British
and Vrcnch troops. I will sny that the
moral effect of a heavy bombardment Is
not as lusting in tho case of Turklah
Iroops, aa tho allies may have expected.
Our brave Ottoman soldiers are not easily
frlniitcned by noise, owing to their splen
did nerves and this Is a war of nerve",
a war In which strong nerves mean vic
tory." Later In the day the correspondent was
given a letter by Llman Pasha In which
all commanders at the front were re
quested to t-ernilt an Inspection of their
sectors by the holder. On the following
dsy. June 12. the positions at Art Bourn ou
were visited.
Indirect Klre Falls.
But In the Aegean Bea two British cruis
ers were maneuvering when the ride to
Arl Bournou began. Hlnce S: a. m.. they
had kept up a rather severe bombardment
of certain parts of the peninsula. Pass
ing through the section under fire It was
obvious that Indirect flro,, without ob
servers. Is a waste of ammunition. The
flro of the cruisers was purely "chance"
work. No aeroplane or captive balloon
was up and the heavy shells exploded In
the open and on the wheatfields. Ninety
were Counted and tho result achieved if
represented by sero.
The bombardment ceased about 7 a. m.
A little later the Arl Bournou position
waa reached, and the Journey covered
ground formerly occupied by tha British
troops, which at Arl Bournou, are ex
clusively contingents from Australia and
New Zealand.
The center of the British position Is
Art Bournou, or Cape Art. Here a long
outer trench has been dug. Behind this
outer trench ths British have established
a second Hue of defense, consisting of
two short sectors. Back of ths souther
most of these sectors lies another trench,
serving, evidently, as a support to an
artillery redoubt located on tba summit
of Cape Arl Itself.
Ceatrr f British Posltloa.
This may be callod the center of the
British position, though the left flank of
the British consists of a single short
trench on a hill about 400 yards north
of the extreme point of ths northern sec
tor. .
The British right flank, or southern
series of entrenchments, Is located on the
southeast of ths Korkou-Deresl creek and
follows the course of an advanced trench
and two supporting sectors.
With Ati Bournou as pivot, the British
position Is rreerent-shaped. about 2.800
yards long from north to south; and l.W
yards wide In a line drawn across Art
Bournou. The site Is rather bars. Thar
Is a small spring on it, and moat of the
water needed by the Rrttliah troops has
to be brought from the a'llacent Islands.
The Turklxh trenchea are In one case
only two yards from the Britlnh trench.
At another point the trenches of the op
posing forces are only ten yards apart.
Constant sapping by the Turks is tho
cau.-o of this Interesting condition.
Already tho British trenches have been
blown up by the Turks In three places.
Haild grenades and large bombs thrown
by A catapult are used by ths British
One of the former had failed to explode
end wt the subject of study of some
Turkish officer. The bomb consisted
of a cast-steel outer shell, two and one
half Inches In diameter and about six
inches long. The shell contained an inner
tube filled with an exploitive.
About noon Kaaad Pasha, commander
of the third army, and during the late
Balkan war, defender of Janina, was met
by the correspondent. General Eawad Is
man of mt-dlum height, slightly gray
about tho temples, of dltoilflrd, military
appearance nnd courteous demeanor.
'The situntlon here at Art Bournou
and 81d-el-Bahr is very favorable," he ,
said. "Tho British and French have been
obliged to assume the defensive, which.
I should say. Is not what they landed
for. We hope to get them out and be
fore long. The alltes havs come to re
spect the bayonts of our soldiers.'
Bayonet Charges.
Essad Pasha then recounted what some
of the British prisoners thought of the
mighty bayonet charges by the Turks.
Most of them did not like the experience.
"I sdmlt there la something uncanny
in men ruehlng a trench silently with
bayonets fixed. Noise has a stimulat
ing effect at times, while Its absence
acts In an opposite direction," he said.
' The afternoon was made Interesting by
a visit from a British aeroplane, which
dropped three large bombs.
Throughout the day the sniping from
both trenches continued. A Turkish bat
tery on (he British left flank added to
the picture by taking a pot shot st some
part of the opponents' trenches. Tho
British pieces on land did not reply for
soms time, but finally were also beard
from. No British or French men-of-war
could bo seen near Kaba Tepe, their
former ststlon. A single hospital ship,
painted gray, lay off shore. The alllod
war vessels had 'been driven to cover
by the German submarines, opined the
Turkish officer, and then pointed in the
direction of Imbros Island. With the
aid of glasses a good view of ths north
east bay of tho island was to bo had.
Tho small heet of water was literally
covered with shipping of all sorts, men-
of-war, transports, supply ships, every
conceivable sort of watercraft in fact
had been Jammed into the smal bay,
outside of which torpedo boats and de
stroyers were patrollng for submarines.
British Plana Fall.
Tho Galllpoll campaign plan of the al
lies, according to officers of the Otto
man army, was to take the forts guard
Ins the entrance and lower reaches of
ths Dardanelles. For this purpose land
ings were made at Kurn Kale, Bld-el-Bahr,
Art Bournou and Kaba Tepe.
Essad Pasha la of the opinion thst
of those only Kaba Tepe was a feint
Insisting at the same time the assertion
of the allies that tho Kum Kale landing
had also been a sham manoeuvre la due
to the fact that the allied troops could
not keep the ground they had taken
there. The landing at Arl Bournou was
Intended as a flank attack upon the Otto
man forces opposing the allied troops
set ashore at fild-cl-Bahr. By occupying
the narrow part of the peninsula between
Arl Bournou and Matdos, the Australians
and New Zealander now hemmed In at
Art Bournou were also to cut 6ff the
land i'ne of communications of the Turk
ish troops at Pld-el Bahr.
Meanwhile the troops landsd at Pld-el-Bshr
were to advance north and in so
doing, tske tho Turkish forts on the Euro
peon shore of the Dardanelles from the
landing side. With these forts taken the
water route to Constantinople would
have been open as far as Nsgara, Prompt
action by the Turklah army ruined the
plan, bringing about what General
d' A made, commander of the French con
tingent is said to have feared. It is
Understood In well Informed circles in
Constantinople that General d'Amade fav
ored a landing near Enns on the north
shore of the Gulf of Saros, but that
Plr Ian Hamilton was against this.
Dodsre to Have a Mill.
DODGE, Neb., Aug. S-(Ppeclal.)-At a
