Washington, July 12. Democratic
leaders of the senate, findii.g it well
nigh impossible to reconcile conflict
ing views on the food control bill, de
cided today to appeal to President
Wilson to outline his opinion of what
compromise should be agreed upon to
hasten action on the measure.
The senate r.gricukural committee
decided today not to make any en
dorsement or recommendation regard
ing the Gore substitute bill. Senator
Gore, however, plans lo oiler it as an
individual proposition, with the un
derstanding that many of its provi
sions will have general support in
lieu of those in the pending bill.
Core Bill Basis for Action.
If President Wilson does not object
the leaders were said to believe that
the substitute bill drawn by Senator
Gore generally embraces ideas for
compromise legislation. The Gore bill
would limit government control to
food and fuel alone, eliminating steel,
iron, copper, cotton and many other
products. '
The prohibition question, it was
agreed, probably will have to be set
tled in conference without further
senate action because of the unani
mous consent agreement under which
the senate acted last week.
These decisions were reached at
conferences between Senator Martin,
democratic leader; Chairman Gore of
the agricultural committee; senator
Chamberlain, who has charge of the
legislation in the senate, and Senator
Simmons, chairman of the finance
committee, whose work on the war
tax bill is suspended pending final ac
tion of prohibition.

.' Reichstag Withhold Credits.
Copenhagen, July 11. The cdali
ti'on of the various elements in the
German Reichstag, now arrayed
against the government, seem deter
mined not to vote the war credit
asked until the political crisis is set
tled. The attitude of the opposition
element has excited conservative
papers to discriminatory comment.
Amsterdam, July 11. The session
of the crown council on Monday, says
a Berlin telegram, lasted, until 1
o'clock Tuesdav morning, when the
resignations were accepted definitely.
The imperial chancellor has decided
to offer the vacant ministerial port
folios to leaders of the Reichstag and
Prussian diet. An imperial ministry
of labor will be created under the
socialists, Herbert or David.

, Catholics Suppc: Erzberger.
.The Catholic organ Germania says
the Catholic center in the Reichstag
has decided by an overwhelming
majority to support Mathias Eri
berger, who last week attacked the
pan-Otmani and advocated peace
without annexations or indemnities.
Herr Erzberger's object, the news
paper says, is to induce the Reichstag
to makj a declaration of war ami in
the sense that Germany has not gone
to war with a desire for conqucM. but
merely to defend its freedom and
preserve its territorial possessions.
In orcer to nullify definitely any
impression on the part of the entente
that Germany's peace terms would be
dictate by the Prussian military
caste, the Reichstag is asked to set
fourth with unmistakable clearness
the German war aims. The 'r.tente
would then realize, it is contended,
that it in waging war with the entire
German people.
The Germania adds that the chan
cellor had accepted the idea and that
the formation of a coalition ministry
is being prepared. Thus it says, unity
between the people and the govern
ment will be realized.
Sour Stomach.
This is a mild form of indigestion.
It is usually brought on by eating too
rapidly or too much, or of food not
suited to your digestive organs. If
you will eat slowly, masticate your
food thoroughly, eat but little meat
and none at all for supper, you will
more than likely avoid the sour
stomach without taking any medi
cine whatever. When you have sour
stomach take one of Chamberlain's
Tablets to aid digestion. Adver

The train consisted of twenty-seven

Business Suspended.
Phoenix, Ariz., July 12. The entire

for the little red cards showing their
membership in the Industrial Workers
of the World organization.
Cattle and box cars were standing
and the men were taken from the bail
park to the cars, where other guards
saw to it that they remained. This
train, which will be composed of more
than a dozen cars, it was stated, was
to be sent out of town at 11 o'clock.
Leaders of the Citizens' Protective
league refused to give its destination.
Work Most Systematic.
The work was begun at night, a
number of citizens from Douglas and
other points coniii g to assist. Every
thing had been planned thoroughly as
the citizens were determined there
should be do mistakes made.
Business men and miners who want
to work determined that the entire in
dustry of the camp should no longer
be tied up. Therefore all business was
suspended for today for the "clean
up. All snops were ciosea ana no
mining operations were attempted.

Baker Is Head of Over
Seas Transportation
Paris, July 11. American head
quarters today announced the ap
pointment of Captain Asher C. Baker,
U. S. N., as director of overseas trans
portation and naval representative to
the chief of staff of the American ex
jeditionary forces.
A military mission composed ot of
ficers of the operations department
after completing a tour of the French
and British fronts, held a conference
last evening and discussed the relative
feasibility of the rrench and British
steel helmets for use by the American
troops.
The medical mission has determined
that it will be necessary for each
division of the army to have initial
supplies of medical stores aggregating
4,700 tons. The American army will
adopt a system similar to that of the
British with reserve supplies stored
behind the front, and the field hospit
als where major operations will be
performed, located farther back.
The Americans, it is stated, will de
velop to the fullest extent possible the
British system of transporting the
wounded with all speed directly back
to the base hospitals with minimum
interruption of the transfer.
Elks Appropriate Million
Dollars for War Relief Work
Boston, July II. Amid a stirring
scene of patriotism the Grand Lodge
of the Benevolent and Protective Or
der of Elks late today appropriated
a fund of $1,000,000 for war relief
work. The incoming grand exalted
ruler, Fred C. Harper of Lynchburg,
Vs., was instructed to appoint a spe
cial commission of five to determine
the method and form the work should
take. A committee recently appointed
to investigate the subject recently re
ported a part of the amount should
be devoted to establishing base hos
pital units in co-operation with the
American Red Cross.

NEBRASKA TROOP
TO WAR FRONT
(Continued from Pat One.)
request of Governor Neville that he
be placed in command of a brigade
from his own state the authorities
were pleased to make the switch.
Lee Metcalfe also announces that
he will stick on the job as private sec
retary to the governor for the present.
Governor Neville considered re
signing and going into the army for
many weeks. His definite decision
now to stick with the executive job
in Nebraska instead of seeking the
colonelcy of the "Dandy Sixth" regi
ment, is highly pleasing to his close
political friends and especially to his
state appointees, who feared the po
litical ax should their chief resign
and leave the executive office in Ne
braska to Lieutenant Governor Edgar
Howard.
Yesterday The Bee pointed out that
Senator Hitchcock had talked to Gov
ernor Neville "like a Dutch uncle,"
while the governor was in Washing
ton and had insisted that at all costs
the governor must remain in the
executive chair where Hitchcock and
his faction declared they put him last
fall. It was urged by the senator as
a political necessity that he remain
by the job his friends gave him.
Information reaching Omaha indi
cate that the governor had not defi
nitey promised the senator in Wash
ington that he would remain in the
executive seat, but it was indicated
that the talk Senator Hitchcock, his
political foster father, gave him had
set him to thinking hard.
Genral George H. Harries, ap
pointed by the governor as brigadier
general of the Nebraska National
Guard, is an Omaha man, and was
president of the Omaha Electric Light
and Pcwer company.
Phil 1 -I" Hall, jr., appointed rolonel
of the "Dandy Sixth, is a Lincoln
man, ut present adjutant general of
the Nebraska National Guard, and
a son of Dr. T. L. Hall, banker, of
Lincoln, and former democratic na
tional committeeman from Nebraska.
Hall Four Years With Guard.
The appointment of Adjutant Hall
came as a surprise to his Omaha
friends, as it was thought the com
mand of the regiment would go to a
high up politician who was said to be
angling for the job.
Just who will succeed Colonel Hall
as adjutant has not been decided. It
is said on good authority that As
sistant Adjutant General W. Steele
will be his Successor.

I1AVNER REPLIES
TO HIS DETRACTORS
Iowa Attorney General Says
There is No Politics in the
Prosecution of Eev.
Lyn G. J. Kelly.
Des Moines, July 12. (Special
Telegram.) Attorney General H. M
JIavner may bring contempt proceed
ings against Detective J. N. Wilker
son for the Omaha meeting of last
Saturday.
Since his return from Corning the
j attorney general has been giving es
peciai attention to me snortnana re
ports of the detective's Omaha speech
before making another move.
The state department of justice is
also preparing with considerable de
tail its case against Kev. Lyn G. J.
Kelly, which is to be held September
4. The attorney general declares that
the indictment was not returned
against the minister until after a thor
ough investigation. He declared the
charge that the traveling evangelist
is being made the goat in the de
partment's efforts to unravel the mys
tery is ui .ided.
Cosson Investigated Kelly.
Former Attorney General George
Cosson investigated Kelly. A special
agent working under Cosson spent
some time at the Kelly home. One
of the assistants in the office also
worked on the Kelly ancle of the
mystery, but at the conclusion of
these' investigations no charge was
brought against the minister.
Attorney General Havner also de
nies that politics in any way is en
tering into the investigations. He
says that many erroneous stories are
being circulated among them that he
is a cousin of K F. Jones of Villisca.
He says this is untrue, as he is not
related to the former senator from
the Mills-Montgomery district.
The injunction law under which
Wilkerson was prevented from hold
ing his Red Oak meeting was passed
by the thirty-seventh general assem
bly on the last day of the session.
It was prepared by the state depart
ment of justice and after passing the
senate the morning of the last day
went through the house in the even
ing before final adjournment.

Equitable Fixation of

New York, July 11. Equitable

American army itself were declared
to be the great duties of the United

"The great duty of the United
States at the present moment," he
said, "is to put on the same footing all
these who are fighting for the same
cause. Since you have been in the
war you have been b:set with isolated
financial, industrial and military re
quests by each of the powers of the
entente.
"You gave them a generous answer.
