Thi3 is the largest output of Ford cars ever scheduled for April, being 10,000 above the same month of a year ago.

State Engineer George Johnson this noon got back the records he charged were missing from his office. Gus Hyerp, state sheriff, seized them, with a search warrant, from O. V. P. Stout, former dean of the University of Nebraska engineering college, who said he was studying them for C. H. Epperson and Tlaorge W. Marsh, members of the commit tee probing the state department of public works. Hyers said he got the warrant up on request of George K. Leonard, as sistant to Johnson. Mr. Stout had denied the books to Mr. Leonard. He said he wouldn't turn them over without authority from Epperson or March from whom he said he obtained them. The missing records, it was al leged, were taken by C. W. Hamil ton, discharged Johnson engineer. They included surveyor's notes of project No. 20 in Douglas county and were said to have revealed al terations. - K' "Co-operation." said Sheriff Hyers, In explaining the seizure. "I'm co operating with the state department of public works." A candidate for sheriff in Greeley county whose name Is not given in a letter from County Attorney 1. J. Barrett to the atorney general's of fice is violating the law, according to the view of Assistant Attorney General C. L. Dort. The candidate pledges himself, "not only to put the office on an efficient and business like basis, loing the work of the of fice himself not drawing the sal ary and having a deputy do the vork but I will absolutely agree to turn back to the general fund of the coun ty $350 per year from the salary now provided by law, a total of $1,400 for the four years. "He believes that descending 'prices should carry with them reductions in official salaries, thus lessening a little the excessive burden of taxation. "This is my plat form. I want your support," says the candidate's statement. The attorney general's office be lieves this promise is in violation of the so-called corrupt practices act which prohibits candidates from promising voters anything of value for their votes. Assistant Attorney General Dort does not call this sort of thing brib ery, but he cites several cases in which courts have so termed similar promises. He doe3 not believe that any public office should be auctioned off to the person who may be will ing to take the smallest compensa tion. Public salaries are fixed by law. In the case of State vs. Me.-erve the supreme court held that an offi cer is required to perform his duties without extra compensation and sole ly for the compensation fixed bf law. "It would therefore seem, says Mr. Dort, "to follow that a candidate making such offer, directly or indi rectly, is violating chapter 23. laws 1915, nnd even if elected by such means should 'be removed from office by quo warranto proceedings."

This morning shortly after 10 o' clock the residence on Marble street occupied by Mrs. Nellie Gorder, was found to be in flames and the inter ior of the house practically gutted by -the fire. Mrs. Gorder was engag ed in running an -electric washer on the the lower floor of the house suddenly heard a noise as of falling glass on the upper floor of the' house and on going to the stairway found that the whole fecond story was In flames. The fire department was call ed and made a spirited fight to sub due the fire and with the result that the fire was confined to the 'Inter ior of the house. With the assistance. of the neighbors the household goods on the lower floor as well as a part on the upper iloor were removed from the burning house. On the first floor the greatest loss was from the water and the plastering on the ceil ings was all water-soaked and loos ened and on the upper floor the fire made a clean sweep of the rooms. From what can be discovered the fire -seems to have originated from defective wiring. Washington. April 18. Senate re- publicaps, meeti.a? today in party conference, voted 26 to 9 in favor of the passage or a soiuiers Donus diii at this wssion of. congress. The fi nance committee majority was re quested in a formal resolution to re port such a measure "within a rea sonable time." which was construed by some leaders as three or four week3. Senator Watson of Indiana, a re publican member of the finance com mittee, said the 'bonus bill protably would be taken up in tne senate and put thru Immediately after it was re ported. He thiught Its consideration would require only a short time, but was not so certain as to the form the measure to be drawn by the commit tee -would .take. Under the present plan, the tariff bill which is to be called up Thurs day would be laid aside temporarily for consideration of the bonus. There was a suggestion that the means of financing the bonus might be provid ed for in an amendment to the tariff bill. There is a division of opinion among majority senate ieauer3 as no whether the senate could auacn a revenue provision to the bonus bill itself, because of the requirement that revenue measures originate m the house. The bonus measure passed by that 'body carried no means of financing. Aside from the house bin which was referred to it last month, the senate committee has before it the bonus legislation which -was re committed by the senate last July at the request of ' President Harding. This likewise, has no revenue rais ing provision. Only one member or tne nnance committee, Senator CaWer, or .ew York, voted aeaLnst the conrerence i-ocnintirm lMvi.ir1n.fir Jor Dassage oi the bonus. After the return here Thursday or Chairman McCumber of the nnance committee, majority members or mat committee will meet to determine procedure on the bonus. Before the committee comes to auj decision, a number of its memDers plan to discuss .the question wun President Harding, who has been in- nlitpnt that anv bonus legislation should carry a means of financing the options proposed for the veterans. IS 11 films in which Roscoe C. (Fatty) j not be allowed-The fine was S10 and Arbuckle appears, was announced to- costs which totalled the sunr nameu night by Will II. Hays, head of the: above. ; motion picture producers' associa- tion. This action, he said, affected ; nearly 10,000 contracts. "After consultation with Mr. Nich olas Schenck, representing Mr. Jo seph Schenck, the producers and Mr. Adolph Zukor or Mr. Lasky of the Famous Players Lasky corporation, the distributor." Mr. Hays' state ment slid. "I will state that at my request they have canceled all show ings and all bookings of the Arbuckle films. They do this that the whole matter may have the consideration that, its importance warrants and the action is taken notwithstanding the fact that they had nearly 10.000 contracts in force for the Arbuckle pictures." When Mr. Zukor was asked u the ; action of the producers' association ! had removed Arbuckle definitely : from the list of screen stars, he re- j plied: j 'We simply left the matter in the i hands of Mr. Hays. It is up to him ! to decide in the future whetlier it j will be proper to re-introduce the Ar buckle pictures." ; Mr. Zukor said recently that three Arbuckle fpature comedies had been completed before the arrest of the comedian on charges growing out of the death of Miss Virginia Rappe.
