Governor MeKelvie has further cleared up the charge that he has made a rule for the government of secretaries of departments under the code bill that will result in the de lay or suppression of news in regard to the conduct of public business. The following statement signed by the governor has been sent to sec rearies of his departments: "Some question seems to exist re garding the giving out of news for publication by the departments, bur eaus and divisions operating under the civil administrative code. In or der that the matter may be clearly understood. I have to suggest that: "Secretaries should assume re sponsibility for the giving out of in formation that has to do with poli cies of administration in connection with all of the bureaus and divi sions in the departments.

After a day of rest President Wilson was described as "slightly better," in an official bulletin issued tonight by Dr. Gary Grayson. The buletin which recorded the lirs change to be officially noted in Mr. Wilson's condition since he was taken ill last Friday, did not give details. It was issued at 10 o'clock tonight and was as follows. "Thq president is slightly better. (Signed) GRAYSON." After another troubled night he slept from early morning until toward noon and in the afternoon was taken for an hour's automobile ride. So thorough will be the effort to prevent him from doing any work that he will "not be permitted, for the present, to see any of the sen ate leaders in charge of the fight for ratification of the peace treaty. White house officials believe it es sential that this subject, which has occupied such a large place in the president's mind, be put entirely aside. The visit of King Albert and Queen Elizabeth of Belgium to the White house also will be postponed. bond issues of from $1,000,000,000 to $2,000,000,000 to supply the funds necessary to make effective any plan, for new bonuses. In this delegation were McKenzie of Illinois, Swope, Kinchelce, Lang ley, of Kentucky, Tincher and Strong of Kansas, Hicks and Foster of New York, Knptsen, of Minne sota, Belson of Wisconsin and oth ers. McKenzie urged his plan of re funding to soldiers and sailors the $15 per month collected from them for the care of their dependents, and to pay them in addition $15 per month of service exclusive of the first two months to equalize the de preciation in the value of the dol lar. "I don't believo the boys are ask ing for gifts or presents," he said, "and they should be dealt with fair ly and in justice. Their depend ents were the charge justly of this government and they shoujd not have been forced to make 'the pay ment of $15 per month for this pur pose with the government contribut ing a like amount." United States, Lord Fisher of the British admiralty, the late ' Lord Kitchener and the British vice con sul at Eusenada, Mex.. were marked fcr assassination by agents of the German government, according to sworn testimony given by former First Lieutenant Wilhclni von Bricken, formerly military attache of the German consulate in San Francisco, to Commissioner of Immi gration Henry M. White, of Seattle. A transcript of the statement was received iere today by Attorney Henry M. Owens, Von Bricken's legal adviser in San Francisco. Von Bricken is serving a two year sentence in the federal peni tentiary at McXeil's Island, for the part he played in the so-called Hindu conspiracy case. FOR SALE. MARKED FOR ASSASSINATION. Heavy Rainfall of Last Night Over This Section of State Causes Dam age to the Bridges in Country. The eastern portion of Cass coun ty was visited by a very heavy storm last evening, commencing at 7:30 nnd continuing without little let up until near 10 o'clock when the rain took a lay off. The very heavy rain of Saturday had made the gronud in such condition that the added rain fall was not absorbed by the soil and as , a consequence a great deal of surface water was turned loose. In this city a few minutes after the rain commenced to fall the water was flowing over the main street of the citv and in a very short time was alnfost knee deep in the center of the street. A number of auto mobiles as well as the car of G. W. Olson,' the accomodating mail car rier, served to ferry the persons de siring to cross from one side of the street to hie other and did a good business while the storm was rag ing. Out in the country district? was where the storm did the most dam age as a number of the smaller bridges over "the Four Mile creek were carried out by the heavy vol ume of -water that flowed through that watercourse and the creek was out and over the banks along almost its entire length. The larger bridges stood the test or the flood however and permitted the farmers to get through although a number of them were compelled to drive a long way out of their road in order to get DEBATE OMAHA'S RIOT ON FLOOR OF NATIONAL SENATE Washington, D. C, Sept. 29. Not one passing reference was made in the long peace treaty debate in the senate today to the thirty odd Fall amendments, which Vice Presi dent Marshall had ruled wou'd be the special and continuing order of business. Thediscussion embraced about evuy n'her poinr. Tt covered all the ground from Omaha to Persia, and We President Marhall's predic-'on that the senate, once it took up the amendments, would discuss every thing else under the sun, was abundantly, fulfilled. The discussion centered about speeches by Senator Borah, republi can of Idaho and Senator Williams democrat of Mississippi, both of whom digressed to touch upon re cent evidences of mob rule. Answering ' Senator Borah, Sena tor Williams, democrat, Mississippi, declared it was too far fetched to at tempt to connect the league of na tions with race riots. Race clashes, he said, were all due to attempted outrages on white wo men by negroes. San Francisco, Sept. 29. Charles M. Schwab.
