From Wednesday's Daily The Plattsmouth Turn-Verein i3 no more the affairs of the society having been wound up last Sunday at the meeting of the membership that remains here and the resources of the organization divided among the old guard that has remained with it through tho years. This organization first came into t-eing in 1SS7 and was formed by a number of the prominent ' residents of the city of German descent, who in its workings carried out the ideas of athletic training that they had brought from their old home across the sea, where Father Jahn had by his splendid , work established the turn-verein as a part of the nation al life. At the time of the organiza tion the city had for a number of years the Liderkrantz or singing so ciety and later these two societies were merged as one and made a strong and vigorous organization for years. The hall on Washington avenue was later erected and which at the time was well prepared to carry on the work of the society with a well equipped gymnasium, stage for the presentation of plays and the hall was also used for dancing and meet ings of the singing societies. Some very expert exponents of the art of physical culture have graduat ed from the old turn-verein and for many years the Plattsmouth turners were known over the state for their kill and prowess and it was here that Otto A. Wurl, who -has been physical director in a number of the large schools of the country, secur ed hi3 first work and he was for years In charge of the work there and with which his brothers were also identified. The turners at their meeting Sun day decided to dispose of what per sonal property they still haye on hand. they. ' having sold the hall building rome time ago to Perry Coffman. To the city schools the tur ners donated all their athletic equip ment, including parellel bars, pole, liorse,! buck. , rings, dumb bells and Indian clubs. and a large amount cf nther material that will come in very handy, in stocking the gym at the high school. To the American Le gion the turners donated the case3 that "were used to store -the banner? of the society and -which can house nicely the Standard's 'of the World war society.

Passage of the bill was predictei by Mr.-Fordney. His opinion appear ed to be shared by members of th house generally, some of whom sal. that on the final vote party line would disappear. There was soni r peculation in Louse lobbies and cor riders as to President Harding' views of the compromise plan, ant also as to whether he would find oc casion to express those views befor the house voted. At the White House, it was sail? that Mr. Harding had not studie and, consequently had not iformed c opinion as to the bank loan provi sion.
