OUTLINE LINCOLN MONUMENT PLANS Committee Proposes to Unveil it Upon Labor Day. PART OF REGULAR PROGRAM, Citizens of Wymore, Odell, Barneston and Liberty Object to Abolishment cf "Free Service" Now Contemplat cd Gage County Assessment. Lincoln, July 18. The board having In charge the Lincoln monument mat ter met in the office of the secretary of state and took up some of the work necessary to make the unveiling ol the statue a success. A platform will be erected north of the entrance to the state house, from, which the ad dresses will be made, temporary seats to be erected on the plaza in front for the seating of the crowd. A small platform will be erected at the statue to be used In the unveiling, which may oe done by a couple of the old veteran of the civil war, though that as yet has not been decided upon. It Is intended to make the exercises a part of the regular Labor day pro gram, if satisfactory arrangements can be completed with those having the Labor day parade In charge. Ohj'ct to Phone Consolidation. A hearing took place before the railway commission, in which citizens of Wymore, Odell, Barneston and lib erty object to a consolidation of the two telephone exchanges there, which was brought about by the consolida tion of the Boll and Independent ex changes. Most of the trouble comes from the abolishment of the "free ser vice" formerly used by the exchanges nnd which the new company wishes to cut out. The Lincoln company bas?s iU claims for abolishment of the free service because it will be . necessary to put in a paid operator at Blue Springs, where most of the free switching has been done. The com pany bhvs that the patrons are de manding good service and It cannot be given unlers adequate returns are received. F. R. Windle, a Wymore real estate man, suggested that the Lincoln company might establish two rates, one for Wymore people who only desire Wymore service and an other rate for those who desire ser vice outside of Wymore. Railway Commissioner Clark expressed himself as favorable to some such a compro mise and will take up the matter with Manager Hurtz of the Lincoln com pany. Navy Will Pay Funeral Expenses. The United States navy will pay the expnBts of the funeral of Orvlll White, the young naval student who was accidentally shot at University Place. According to the local naval office the fact, that young White was at home on a furlough does not relieve the naval department from the re sponsibility of giving him a burial ac cording to naval usages. An attempt will be made .o find sufficient former member of the navy here to act as escort to the remains. Gage County Reports Decrease. Gage county reported to the board of assessment and Is one of the few counties showing a loss from Its re port of last year.

Secretary of the Printing Board Harry Thoman Is sending out notices for bids for the printing of the bien nial reports of all state officers. This Is a big contract and usually results In a response from numerous bidders. Oertle-I Ilka the new minister. lie brings things home to you that you never eaw before. Harry-nun! rt Cot a laundrymaa as good as that Having been fortunate enough to secure the agency for the Blau-Gass, we are going to reduce our immense Hardware Stock and evenually close it out entirely, retaining only the Heating and Plumbing end. In order to accomplish this quickly we are making the prices quoted in this advertisement. This sale will coutinue uniil we find a buyer for our stock and will give you an opportu nity to get goods' at less prices than they were ever offered in Plattsmouth before. It is impossible to itemize prices on every item, as it would take over a month to go through and ite mize everything separate. We wish to state that outside of heating and plumbing material we are not holding back anything, but will discount every article, as we are positively going out ol the hardware end of our business. With the new line that we have taken it will take all the time we have to give it proper attention, and if there anything you need in the hardware line you would do well to look over our stock. We are going to advertise our stock for sale in the leading papers and very likely will have a buyer for the entire stock in a very short time, so if there is anything you need it would be well to get it at once.

Federal Jurist, Who Is Now Talked of For Governor of Delaware. f . v H y.- iff ' JUDGE RULES AGAINST I N S U R G ENTWO 0 D ME N Cannot Use General Fund In Fighting Proposed Rate Raise. Peoria, July 18 Modern Woodmen of America camps cannot take money from their general fund and use it In the fight against the proposed rate in crease, even though a majority of the members of any camp are "Insur gents," according to a ruling made by Leslie D. Puterhougu In the circuit court, when he Issued an Injunction, prayed for by a "standpat" member of Baker camp here In Peoria. The camp by an overwhelming vote decided two weeks ago to take the general fund money and use It In a light on the Increase in rates. Ed ward Powers started proceedings and won out, the court holding that while a majority of any camp might desire tne money so used, there was nothing In the charter of any Woodman camp which provided for the use of money In that way.

FOR FREE TOLLS TO OUR SHIPS Treaty With Great Britain No Bar U Privileges Root Points Out Any Country May Remit Tolls to Ships and Objects to Hampering America. Washington, July 18. Senator O'Gorman of New York charged in the Benate that railroad Influence was be hind Great Britain's protest against the Panama canal bill and he joined with Senator Lodge In declaring that the United States possessed full rights under th British treaty to give free passage to ships of American regis ter. These two speeches marked the debate in the senate on the Panama canal bill. Both Mr. lodge and Mr. O'Gorman declared this nation was not bound by the HayPauncefote treaty to give foreign ships all the privileges granted American ships. Mr. Lodge favored a bill to rebate the tolls to 'American ships, while Senator O'Gorman de clared the Unitod States possessed the full right to give American vessels free pn.isnge, If desired, Senator Lodge conceded that If the case went to The Hairue court tho United States, nnd Telegraph company, which oper probably would lose. ates llnns in Illinois, was ordered out The sopport for the provision giving free passage to American ships against which Great Britain has pro tected was more emphatic than at any time since the senate began consider ation of the bill. Mr. O'Gorman, Mr. Cummins and others declared that If the United Stntoa ImH t .,t.. i,) - .-luii a .u4 IV I AJII OLI lit; 111," treaty literally in giving the ships of all nations equal treatment. It by other terms of the treaty would be prevent ed front defending the canal In case of war. "If a Japanese fleet appeared at the western end of the canal," said Sena tor Reed (Mo.), "bent upon passing through to r.ttack the city of New York, the United States would have no right under such a construction of the treaty to take anv steps against It." Rule Would Hold During War. Senator Burton (O.), who made the first speech In support of the British theory that the United States can give no special privileges to Its own ves sels, declared war would suspend the operation of the treaty. Senator Mc Cumber, however, In a apeech against the fre provision, conceded that It waa bis belief the canal would have to remain neutral even In time of war and that the United Statwa would be forbidden by the HayPauncefote treaty from taking Immediate meas ures to block or use the canal for Its own protection. Senator O'Gorman de clared that railroad Influence was be hind the British protest. "I do not. think British shipping Is rreatly 1ntersted," he said. "I be lieve the railroads of Canada and the rallroade of the United States have been enabled to' secure the co-operation of the British office of foreign af fairs to embarrass this government. Only Burden on This Nation. The only government that has as sumed any especial burden under the treaty Is the United States." said Sen ator O'Gorman. "England and other countries have assumed no burdens beyond the payment of the tolls and the agreements as to the terma of Its neutrality. i ner is nothing to prevent En gland from remitting to Its merchant ships every dollar of tolls paid the Panama canal. There Is nothing to prevent similar action by other coun tries. The only power that la tram meled. restrained and curtailed In the performance, of Its duties to Its owa lO I citizenship Is the one that has spent $400,000,rtii0 In the construction of this great enterprise." He said Hpnin already had legislated "to reimburse Spanish ships for th? tolls spent in coins through our canal." Senator T.oi'pe rnised the question whether the United States would lmve a rlghf to Interfere If another country should undertake to pay the tolls of Its ships when passing through tlm canal. No forlcn country, be said, could Intovf ,e with any arrangement the t'nitec1 ?t.itnS might make for the payment of tolls. "If anv c?vn,nnl,.nt should under take tn do so I for one would protest," to said. Julct Hrnrl Polncare l Dead. Paris. Jul v IS.
