(Special)— ""Well, I Swan,” exclaimed John lErickson, custodian of the state house when an employe handed him ■an egg—a large egg—an egg with a rather streamline body though not so big around the other way as It would have been had it been In pro portion to a hen's egg. "Well I 4Swan! What is It?- he asked and was informed by the employee that "’that” was Just what It was—a .swan’s egg. Mr. Erickson was delighted. Ever -since last summer, when the Pierrs Klwanis club presented a pair of swans to the statehouse, Mr. Erick son has been rather dubious. He wanted to raise some little swans. Tie directed the employee to make atrlct search to locate more such eggs. Thee were found—each laid In a separate place In the mud bank rand carefully covered with grass, the pair of swans apparently having bidden them and left them to take ■care of themselves. This apparent lack of maternal felicity on the part «of the female swan, led him to re trieve two of the eggs and loan them to hen-ralslng statehouse officials sar.d employes, who had setting hens, to place under their biddies. ‘'HEAVY SHIPMENT OF CATTLE FROM R08EBUU Gregory.

I Norris Replies to Republican Attack Says “Old Crowd” Have Room for Only Profiteers And Standpatters Universal Service Washington, April 21.—“The ok crowd of the republican party can find no room In the organization for anybody but profiteers and stand patters.’' This statement was made by Sena tor George W. Norris of Nebraska, a progressive in congress, in comment ing on an article in the current issue of the National Republican classing him with other leading public men and women and periodicals as "agents of bolshevism" who would disrupt the present government. “The controlling forces claim the party can do no wrong and is above Investigation. Consequently they were well supplied with whitewash. As long as such irresponsible persons are in charge, the forward-looking progressives will seek other associates and associations. Progressives cannot continue to make bedfellows out of the old guard.” DAWES SCHEME FACES FAILURE Deadlock Between France And Britain Threatens To Upset Plans C. F. BERTELLI Universal Service Correspondent Paris, April 21.—"Unless Great Rritain agrees to replace the present system In the Ruhr by an ironclad guarantee to Join France in future sanctions against Germany, the whole laborious structure of the report of the experts risks running against a stone wall.” Thus the Matin summarizes the new and serious deadlock which has arisen between France and England over the recommendations of the re port. Violent optimists In carefully en couraged quarters, Influenced by In ternational bankers, who a few days ago were chanting paens of joy over the alleged forthcoming peace, are now silent, while the same papers which a fortnight ago welcomed the experts’ report with exuberant praise, now do not try to conceal their fear that the whole plan Is doomed to fall owing to obstructions by old lln« diplomacy. New Fly In Ointment In the meantime a new bombshell In the shape of an article In a finan cial review by an eminent economist, Claude Berton, has arrived to help blow up the exaggerated hopes of the banking clique who hoped to make 10 per cent, on sixteen billion gold marks by selling the various loans to the American people In exchange for their good dollars. Berton charges that Europe Is practically under the domination of the banks to a degree unknown In previous history, and declares that the experts, ‘far from being Impartial and disinterested, were themselves membrs of the banking group who stood to profit most from the the scheme they elaborated.' “In America as elsewhere,’’. Berton says, “the Influence of the bankers is preponderant. It. Is the American bankers—Internationalists by neces sity—who are forcing America back into European affairs In spite of the fact that the bankers are a small minority against which there is an undoubted desire on the part of the American people to stay clear of Europe. Investments at Stake “The bankers were the sole Ameri cans concerned In the distress of Europe because this distress touches their Investments which were ex tremely large. The bankers naturally wanted to prevent the seizure of Ger man territory and property because they had large Interests, especially since the war, in Germany. “When the Morgan committee re ported their conclusions which had given Franco far more than the pres ent plan, Premier Poincare refused to receive Morgan, while it was given out that the bankers’ committee was merely another German man oeuver. “Since then there has been a catas trophe to the French franc, with Its miraculous saving by American help. What were the conditions of this help? One day we shall probably find that these conditions approximated closely the present Dawes plan. “Thus the bankers in lending France credits to help the franc, had far more to gain than the mere in terest on the loan. It is pointed out here that if Ber ton’s opinion Is correct, Premier Poincare’s present attitude indicates that he has accepted the bankers’ ultimatum under reservations on which he is now basing his present demands. Trial of Representative Knutson Set for April 30 Universal Service Washington, April 21.—Representa tive Harold Knutson, of Minnesota will go on trial April 30 in the Ar lington, Va„ county court, charged with an offense against the public morals.

FINAL ACTION ON BONUS BILL AGAIN DELAYED Long Arguments Over Cash Plan Blocks Passage in Senate Universal Service Washington, April 21.—Passage of the Insurance adjusted compensation bill for World war veterans was blocked Monday by the introduction of the democratic cash option sub stitute and prolonged arguments by democratic senators. Hope for final action Tuesday how ever, was strengthened when the Senate accepted the request of Sen ator Curtis of Kansas, republican whip, In charge of the measure, that discussion be resumed at 11 o'clock in the morning, an hour earlier than the usual time. Although Senator Robinson of Ar Kansas, democratic leader, had an nouned that he would support the insurance measure as the only one possible of enactment, individual senators of his party consumed long hours In arguing against the plan, which has the approval of the Ameri can Legion and other veterans’ or ganizations. Senator Walsh or Massachusetts delivered a carefully prepared address indorsing the Idea of the cash option, but expressing the view that the in surance plan ought to be supported. He was lnterruted frequently by Senator Copeland, democrat.of New York and Senator Norris, independent republican of Nebraska, who advo cated the passage of the cash option plan despite the declared opposition of president Coolidge. The position of advocates of the insurance plan was materially strengthened when It became known that Secretary Mellon was likely to offer less strenuous opposition to that Idea than he would to the cash pay ment scheme.

COOLIDGE TO OPEN ACM DRIVE TODAY President Expected to Out* line Future Policies in New York Speech BY WILLIAM P FLYTHE Universal Service Correspondent Washington,. April 21.—President! Coolidge left here at midnight for| Now York where Tuesday he will1 make his first campaign address. He traveled in a special train, accom panied by Mrs. Coolidge, Frank W.; Stearns, his personal friend and ad-; Vtser; C. Bascom Slemp, his secre tary and political mentor, and a. ape-; cial car for writers. The president; will arrive early Tuesday and gOr direct to his hotel. In the forenoon ho will receive aj number of callers prominent In the' republican party and discuss the* post-convention campaign with them.. The president will begin his speech at about 1:45 o’clock Tuesday after noon before a gathering of publishers of American newspapers. Immediate-; ly it Is concluded he will get ready; for the >eturn trip, leaving New York about 4 o'clock In the afternoon. To Outline Policies The address lie is to deliver Is ex pected to be the most important qf his career. In it he will definltely| commit himself to the policies ha expects to pursue If elected. It will be. In a way, an outline of his plat form, or what he will ask the repub lican convention to indorse. If popu lar. as his advisers declare It will be. it will be of tremendous advantage, because It will be before the people before democrats have a chance to take a stand. While the president Is speaking, Pennsylvania and New Jersey will be selecting delegates for both the demo cratic and republican conventions. With 663 delegates already Instructed for him, eight more than enough to nominate on the first ballot, the two primaries are of little importance to Mr. Coolidge. It Is quite certain, however, that he will add Pennsyl vania’s 79 and New Jersey's 31 dele gates to his roll. Interest will ba in the size of the republican vole, as compared with the democratic. Democrat* in Doubt All of the 30 democratic candidates arp turning hopeful eyes on Pennsyl vania and there Is a distinct Impres sion that each will be disappointed. Pennsylvania, which not so long ago favored McAdoo, has grown cold to ward his candidacy. No other can didate attracts them. It Is understood, and It Is believed likely that the dele gation will be unlnstructed. Should there be any favoritism shown It will be for A. Mitchell Palmer, formerly attorney general, who may have con trol. He Is said to favor Underwood. New .Jersey very probably will giv® Its vote to the favorite son. Governor Silzer. "Wet" as the Atlantic which washes its shores. New Jersey may lean to A1 Smith, New York, as an alternative choice but it is more likely that after casting a complimentary vote for Silzer, the New Jersey de mocrats will Jump on the bandwagon of some other democratic candiduia who has a chance for the nomination. Worried About Ohio. Beyond the primaries Tuesday the Ohio situation Is causing the party some real alarm. Harry M. Daugh erty returned from the south Monday and after a short stay will go out t® campaign for Coolidge until the primary, April 29. Reports reaching the president are not reassuring. It is dhld that Mr. Daugherty Is having the greatest difficulty holding hi® following In line, because of Daugh erty's forced retirement from the cabinet. Already emergency call® have been sent from Ohio for the president to send out some workers. Many are in the field now. But the reports seem to point to a defection, from Mr. Coolidge, which may or may- not be reflected In the balloting. Some close observers declare, how ever, that because of the loyalty off the Ohio republicans to Daugherty! there may be a drift to the democrat, lc side.
