LAW WRITTEN IN VAGUE WAY Nebraska Rail Commission Finds Hard Work De termining Intent Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 4. (Special)— The state railway commission is fear ful that it may have to acid a gram marian to its staff of experts. The last legislature passed a law intended to compel physical connection with existing transmission lines whenever any person, firm, association, corp oration or municipality constructed a line to tap the main leads. This is how the law reads in one paragraph: "Any municipal corporation which may construct or acquire its own lines which may apply for such physical connection and service from such electric transmission line, which may lie constructed to or pass by or through said city or village.” The question tlie commission must decide is whether the relative pro noun “which” following the words “transmission line," refers directly and solely to that line or dies it refer back to municipal corporation. In other words, must the municipality, if it wants to connect up with a power company lead, build its own line miles across country and then force a physical connection or is its power to force the supplying of current limited to where (he trans mission lines pass by or through the municipality. • The case is before the commission on the request of the village of Cotes fleld to arbitrate the fee that ought to be paid the village of Elba, which paid $9,300 to build a line to tap the Central Power company leads.

SPECULATE AS TO GOVERNOR BRYAN'S COURSE Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 7- (Special) — A wary eye is cast by most politi cians just now In the general direc tion where Governor Bryan is rest ing from his campaign labors. There is a strong suspicion that two years from now will finfl the governor right after the democratic nomination for the job he now holds. Meanwhile he is generally expected to take the Chautauqua platform, where he can earn as much in three months as he can as governor. The fame of his brother and the fact that the governor was a vice pres idential candidate are sufficient to make him a good box office attrac tion, it is pointed out. The governor lias none of the ready command of language or the golden voice of his brother, but starting out as an Indifferent speaker he has developed Into a good platform orator. Another group of guessers say that he will start right after the next nomination for president, and that he will revive the Commoner for purposes of publicity of his program The governor went to New York a candidate for president, convinced that he could carry the west and south, and politicians see in the pro gram of *he La Follette crowd to capture control of the democratic party a situation to his liking, as he believed La Follette never would have run had he been named.

Barron of Scottshluff has been re elected judge of thi» Seventeenth judicial district of Nebraska at the end of a campaign which has no parallel in the memory of the oldest inhabitant. His sole public utterance during the entire campaign was a notice which he published at his own expense in each newspaper in his district before the primary election in which he referred in terms of glowing compliment to his opponent in tile campaign, and compared his own qualification for the office with those of his opponent in a manner plain y disparaging to himself, clos-. ing with these words: “It Is one of the misfortunes of our state to have an elective judici ary, and, as is the way In democra cies, candidates for office arc some times over-persuaded of their own fitness. No doubt It would make for better government if aspirants for all public? offices were less assertive In their own behalf, and, if this Is true, It ought to be especially true of judicial candidates. I hope that no one will vote for me unless he or she believes, and has some ground for believing, that such a vote would he for the public good. To that eui I am publishing this note in each newspaper in this Juriclul district.” Judge Barron's opponent made a very active campaign over the entire district during several months, by personal visit, mall, poster and ex tensive newspaper advertising. The judge stood pat and said no more. Tiie voters on Tuesday re-elected Judge Barron by 1,600 majority. MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION MEETS AT WAYNE Wayne, Neb., Nov.

FIND CLUE OF MISSING YAWL Derelict May Prove to Be Craft Lost in North Atlantic BY MAX ENOS. Wireless to Universal Service. < Copyright, 1924.) Aboard U. S. S. Trenton. North Atlantic, Nov. 9. ( via Cape Race, N. F.)—An almost submerged derelict, answering the description of the 40 foot yawl. Lief Erieson, two months overdue from Norway, was reported Sunday by wireless by the passing steamer Arola Mendl in latitude 40:36 north, longitude 57:29 west, or about 8f>0 mlies astern of the Trenton. This is the first clue received by the Trenton, newest United States light cruiser, which was sent Into the north Atlantic to search for the Lief Erieson and its crew of fivs, headed by William Washburn Nut ting, amateur yachtsman and writer. The Erieson left Norway to follow the course taken by ‘‘Lief the Lucky,” ' to America in the year 1,000. Despite the news, the Trenton Is ploughing through rough seas on its predeter mined line of search. If no trace of the little group of mariners is found, the derelict will be investigated on the return trip. A heavy gale was experienced Sat urday and Sunday, with several thick flurries of snow and extra lookouts were ordered up. At night powerful searchlights are continually played on the water and every precaution is being taken not to miss the Erieson if it is still afloat. A warning regarding the derelict has been broadcast to all steamers, which have also been asked to keep a watch for the little yawl. High winds and heavy seas so far have prevented use of the two seaplanes on board. Lodge, always irascible with such people, refused hotly and denounced pacifists. One of them called him a liar. Lodge, much smaller and much older than the pacifist, promptly knocked him down with one swift punch. One of the last “big moments” In Lodge’s career, crowded as it was with achievements which won him public notice and fame, was his ap pointment by President Harding as a “special ambassador” representing the United States at the Arms Lim itation conference which met In Washington in November, 1921. To Lodge was assigned the duty of presenting for ratification by the conference the Four-Power Pacific Treaty, designed to insure .the peace of the Pacific. His speech that day he always afterwards considered his greatest piece of writing. His friends preferred his eulogy of The odore Roosevelt, presented at me morial services for the former Pres ident, before the House and Senate. Small, But Dignified Physically, Lodge's chief attribute was a look of commanding dignity, though he was small in stature. His curly white hair and pointed beard, hie erect, narrow-shouldered figure, with the coat alv ays buttoned up closely, his sensitive hands, with the long fingers, gave him the look of a stern old aristocrat, as he sat in his chair In the Senate, or stood up to speak. troopTdefeat SPANISH REBELS News of Clashes Leaks Out Despite Tight Censor ship Lid Universal Service.
