From Saturday's Daily.
The town of Murray awoke this
morning to find that last night while
' the inhabitants were sunk deep in
' slumber, burglars had visited their
! fair little city and looted two of the
leading stores of the place and made
awav with their booty which will
amount to from $350 to $400.
The places visited were the Peter
son Hardware Co. and the grocery
store of Wilson & Puis, both estab
lishments being in the same build
ing and connected with an archway
! so that the robbers had little trouble
'in getting into the grocery store af
' ter they had secured entrance to the
hardware section. Entrance was
made through the coal chute into the
j cellar section. Entrance was made
t through the coal chute into the cel
j lar and from there the robbers had
J made their way up into the store
room of the Peterson Co. In the hard
j ware store a large number of shot
' guns and rifles were secured as well
as some ammunition while in the
grocery section of the building they
secured a large amount of coffee,
canned gaods of various kinds, ci
gars, tobacco and cigarettes.
There was no trace of the robbers
discovered until this morning when
the stores were opened up for busi
ness and this gave the parties pull
ing off the job a good opportunity of
making their getaway and seeking
safety in flight. As soon as the rob
bery was discovered Sheriff C. D
Qulnton was called to the scene of
act:on -but there was little that
would afford any clue to the rob
bers.
It is supposed that the parties
have made their escape into Omaha
and gone into hiding there.

Lincoln, Feb. 17. George E.
Johnson, state engineer, announced
today he would tender his resigna
tion at the end of his present term
in January, 1923. More lucrative
employment offered was given as the
reason. Johnson stated .that he talk

that an attempt was being made by
democrats to drag state road build
ing into politics.
"I immediately made arrange

who promised to hold the position

Johnson said. "I decided that under
the circumstances it was my duty to
remain in office and fight the thing

Governor Kendall of Iowa Sidesteps
Struggle by Naming Temporary
Successor to Kenyon.
Des Moines. Feb. 17. Charles A
Rawson, of Des Moines, state chair
man of the G. O.. P., was today named
United States senator from Iowa to
succeed William S. Kenyon. Appoint
ment of Rawson was made by Gover
nor Kendall this morning following
receipt of the resignation of Kenyon.
who will quit the senate to accept
the judgeship of the eighth federal
circuit.
Itawson's aDDointment, effective
immediately, is for the remainder of
the unexpired term of Kenyon and
was made with the specific reserva
tion that he would not be a candi
date to succeed himself in the ap
proaching state election, but would
serve only during the interim period.
Governor Kendall, who had previ
ously indicated he would appoint
Congressman U- J. Dickinson, with
the expectations that Dickinson'
would make a logical and popular
candidate lor permanent succession
to the Iowa senatorship, issued the
following statement explaining his
selection of Rawson: . S'
"After mature, deliberation I have
appointed Honorable Charles A. Raw
son to succeed Senator Kenyon. It
is understood that Mr. Rawson will
not aspire to continue in the office,
but will serve only until a senator
can be regularly chosen.
"Thus the entire matter of the re
publican candidate for the further
term is remitted to the voters of the
June primary where their choice may
be freely expressed. In taking this
action I am asking what I believe is
the majority sentiment of the party
and I am testifying to my conviction
that the people themselves should be
afforded untrammeled opportunity to
make their own; selection. .
'Mr. Rawson is go well and so
favorably known that any extended
sketch of him would be superfluous.
He is a man of jabundant ability and
excellent character, a successful bus
iness man and manufacturer. Always
active in public affairs he has been
for a dozen years chairman of the
republican state committee and dur
ing that period has rendered distin
guished and unselfish service."
Washington, Feb. 7. Announce
ment of the membership of the allied
debt commission created by congress
to conduct the negotiations for re
funding of the $11,000,000,000 owed
this country by foreign nations will
be made Monday or Tuesday, it was
said today at the WJUe house.
Tho commission is to be composed
of live members, of which Secretary
Mellon will be chairman, and it was
indicated that its personnel would
include a member of the house and
senate, while high officials are un
derstood to believe that Secretaries
Hugh.es and Hoover will complete the
membership.
Delay in the appointments is un
derstood to have been occasioned by
the necessity of determining the ques
tion of the constitutionality of nam
in& members of congress to the com
mission, but it is now believed there
is no legal bar to their service.
Upon the organization of the com
mission it was said word would go
to the debtor nations through the
usual diplomatic channels that the
United States is preparing to begin
refunding the negotiations which it
is believed will be carried on in this
country, unless circumstances arising
in the future require meetings
abroad.
According to treasury officials, the
government is ready to begin nego
tiations at once, although it is be
lieved that actual steps toward re
funding arrangements will await the
return of Secretary Hughes from Ber
muda about March 1. In view of
the treasury, negotiations will be
taken up with the different foreign
nations in the order of the size of
their debt, beginning with England,
whose total approximates five billion
dollars and ending with the smaller
nations from whom the sums lue are
comparatively slight.
The arrangements made with Great
Britian are expected to form the
model for the plan of payment work
ed out with an me aeoior nations,
and it is believed by the treasury
that Ambassador Geddes will repre
sent his country in the negotiations.
The total foreign debt owing this
country approximates $10,000,000.-
000 of principal and $1,000,000,000
of interest, which under the author
ity of congress are to be refunded
into long time securities of maturi
ties of not more, than twenty-five
years and bearing interest or : not
more than 4 M per cent.

That the members-hip in the Ne
Iraska Farm Bureau Federation
should be materially increased dur
Icg this spring, inspired by the suc
cess of .the farm bureau in the
launching of its several" large na
tional co-operative enterprises, as
well as the unprecedented success of
the "agricultural bloo" in Washing
ton, is the opinion of II. D. Lute of
Lincoln who has been secretary of
the Nebraska organization since it
firet started.
In a statement Issued today, Mr.
Lute urged the various county or
ganizations to use every effort to se
cure additional members among
their neighbors who did not hare in
the success of .the past year's achieve
ments, and also secure reinstate
ments from those who may have lag
ged behind.
The Nebraska farm bureau has
done very little organization work,
according to Mr. Lute. A campaign
for memberships conducted for about
four months during the winter of
1920-21 resulted in a membership in
.this state approximately 27,000,
nothing having been done since that
time. A concerted effort, however,
to secure additional memberships
before spring work opens up, i3
urged.
"The farmer has never had the
need of organization work impressed
upon him like he has the past year,"
Mr. Lute says, and again never in
history have farm organizations ac
complished as much as they have;
during the past year.
He says that wh'ile some are still
peeking government aid, that the
thinking farmers are keeping the
words of Sidney Anderson, Minneso
ta congressman, who recently said
at Washington that the government
ran only remove the obstacles and
that the rest must come from the
farmers themselves through their or
ganizations. "The Farm Bureau." Lute says,
"as" a service organization 'has se
cured results in a short time beyond
the fondest hopes cf its best friends.
Investigations It has carried on, the
organization of gigantic co-operative
marketing concerns, the securing of
a wonderful farmer legislative pro
gram at Washington and drastic
cuts in freight rates, all go to make
farm 'bureau , an outstanding
farmers' service organization.
