PAGE SIX PLATTSMOUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOURNAL Yacht Sennets MANY WITNESSED WORKOUT LAST NITE Large Crowd Present "at Eagles Hall to See Training Bouts McCar thy to Finish in Omaha. There was a large crowd present at the Eagles hall last night to wit ness the training work-outs and all were well pleased with the action of the contestants. Big Jack McCarthy, the Portland heavyweight, let himself out a little more than the first night, and al though he "pulled" his jabs, several blows landed with considerable force upon Smetana, who went several fast rounds with the big boy. '"Smert" absorbed them nicely, however, and came up smiling for more. This morning following his road work, McCarthy journeyed into Omaha, at which place he will train at the Orpheum gymnasium today and to morrow meeting some of the heavy weight sparring partners of the me tropolis. Those interested in seeing him work will find him at the Or pneum gym tomorrow afternoon! The skill and speed showed by Frank Schmarder in wrestling with hi3 various opponents last night in dicates clearly that he is in tip-top condition and prepared to give Mr. Moormeier, who hails from Cortland, Nebraska, one of the hardest tussels of his career on the mat. While the show was on at the Eagles hall, Frank Blotzer was busy working out with Ermin Galloway in preparation for his bout with Sme tana as the curtain raiser of the Legion's big show Tuesday night. ANNESS ALSO WITHDRAWS NAME FOR VACANCY Confusion to Voters Will Besult if His Name Appears Twice For The Same Office. Wilber W. Anness of Dunbar, can didate for the Reavis succession in the First congressional district, withdrew his name Friday afternoon as a candidate ior ine snori term, from the November election until March 4th. A few hours before, Wal ter L. Anderson of Lincoln had set the example. Mr. Anness said that he had filed for the vacancy against his better judgment and only because all the other candidates for the regular term had done so. He says that, like Mr. Anderson, he doesn't believe that 51 Lower interest on Farm Loans! Perhaps you have a mortgage against your place.

Wescott's "KVUKYDOnY'S STORB" election officials ought to be asked to overlook a violation of the letter of the law which says that no man's name shall appear on the same bal lot twice. He doesn't think the leg islature had this in mind when they passed the law, which was to prevent candidate from profiting by fusion nominations. Mr. Anness is also of the opinion that it isn't fair to the voters to ask them to exercise the unusual degree of care necessary to cast an intelli gent vote where one man is running for two offices on the same primary ballot. While in most cases the vot ers will understand the situation well enough to exercise their right of choice as they wish to do, there would be many others who wquld lose their vote in one instance or the other, since all cannot be presumed to know why the names are there twice. The candidates stand to lose also by thi3 duplication, as many sup porters would doubtless think they had done their full duty- to their( friend when they put an X opposite his name once.

A number of the drivers of autos hava been complaining of the fact that the lights on cars which have been placed in service under the law of the last legislature, are not work ing as satisfactory as they should, owing to the fact that the lights are out of adjustment and shining with all the brightness of old. 1 The law says that the light from the lamps on the cars should strike the highway at an angle that would eliminate the light shining in the face of the driver of another car ap proaching, thereby curbing what ha3 been the cause of many accidents and annoyances in driving. Each auto owner was required to have their car equipped with new lenses to comply with the law, but from all reports this has not worked as satisfactory as it should, owing to the fact that many of the lights are out of adjustment and the rays shine not only on the highway but blind ingly in the face of the drivers of other cars. This is a matter that should ba looked into if the intent of the law 13 to be carried out, as the lights if not properly adjusted are as annoy ing as the ones in use prior to the enactment of the recent law.

Senator Norris and Representative Andrews of the Fifth Nebraska district, intro duced In their respective houses to day joint resolutions authorizing the secretary of the interior to make a survey of Phelps, Kearney and Adams counties to ascertain whether it is practicable to convey for irri gation purposes flood waters from the Platte river onto the lands of the counties. The resolution ap propriates $5,000 for the survey. The interior department advised the delegates of the central Nebras ka supplemental water association, consisting of Messrs. George E. John son, of Lincoln; McConaughy of Holdrege, Griggs of Hastings and Kingsley of Minden, that it would gladly make the survey if congress would appropriate for the necessary expense involved. Accompanied by Representative Andrews the delegates today inter viewed Senator Norri3, Representa tives Mondell and Klnkaid, as well as several members of irrigation committees of both houses in rela tion to the proposition. They ex plained that this proposition differs from the ordinary irrigation project in that all of this land, consisting of 500,000 acres, is under cultivation and farmers living upon it; that it is composed of the best soil in Ne braska, but due to lack of moisture the fertility of this soil is gradually suffering depletion until now only one-third of a normal crop can be produced. The Nebraska department of public works, Mr. Johnson de clared, is agreed that no fertilizer will remedy the insufficient rainfall, which has become chronic. By flooding these lands when the Platte river is high the water would soak into the sub-soil, thus making nature furnish its own-reservoir, in stead of constructing expensive con tainers at government expense. If the experiment works for these counties, the ditches would be ex tended to other counties of the state, as the farmers to be benefitted might desire. , . Secretary of Agriculture Wallace today had a conference with commis sion men dealing with livestock pro ducts In the middle-west and gently hinted to them that their commis sion charges should be pared, down now that farm products were re duced. He will make further in vestigations in several cities, Omaha being included. j REAL DAYLIGHT STORE The installation of new lighting fixtures in the clothing store of Philip Thierolf has made this one of the brightest and -lightest stores in the city and one ,that certainly is right up to the minute.

A representative of the automo bile club of southern California ap peared for her and paid the fine. VISITORS AT KAHLER HOME Charles Boedeker, accompanied by his son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Glen Boedeker and little daugh ter. Flora Jane, of Murray, drove up Sunday to spend the day with Mr. Boedeker's sister, Mrs. Philip Kahler and family. Mr. Boedeker's daugh ter, Mrs. Howard Hutchman, of Kan sas City, Kansas, who is visiting her father and other relatives and friends at Murray, accompanied them to Louisville. Her husband is a Presbyterian minister in Kansas City and when she returns to her home, she and her husband will go to Colorado Springs for their summer's outing. While here, the visitors had the pleasure of going over the new home of Mr. and Mrs. Kahler which is now under erection and were de lighted with the arrangement of everything and complimented Mrs. Kahler highly upon her plans, as she designed the house almost en tirely by herself.

BLAME FOR MAS SACRE IS LAID ON MINE OPERATORS First Shots Fired by Strikebreakers, Says Union Official Sheriff Refused to Call Troops. Herrin, 111., June 23. Attempts to sift through the maze of rumor3, re rorts, contradictions and facts of the mine war to obtain an uncolored ac count of the events leading up to it after everything was quiet, brought) two authentic reviews of the affair, one from a union official and anoth er from a state, military official. Hush Willis, district board mem ber of the miners' union, in the first statement from union officials con cerning the massacre, told newspaper reporters the blame lay squarely on the coal operators, who imported c r 1hrAo L'opc strikebreakers He declared that the first shots were fired by the strikebreakers and that these shots were without provo cation, and that one of the chief causes of the trouble was the high handed manner in which the import ed workers "held up private citizens and refused to let them traverse the TIi public highway by the mine made no attempt to deny that the; affair really was a massacre, but in sisted it was not started by the miners. Refused State Aid Col. Samuel Hunter, of the state adjutant general's office reviewed his oniciai investigation oi uie uisasier, the following being the salient points; of his report: That Col. Hunter on half a dozen occasions asked Sheriff Thaxton and other local county officials, if they wanted troops sent here but was told each time even after the fighting started that the local authorities could handle the matter. That he urged the mine officials to close to avert a disaster, but the re quest was refused. That an indignation meeting of 600 miners was held just outside Herrin the day the fighting began. That he persuaded the besieged workers to run up a white flag and obtain consent from miner officials for a truce, but that this truce was broken; by whom he did not know. Both reports termed the armed guards at the mine "gunmen." Mr. Willis' version follows in part: 1 "The Southern Illinois Coal com pany has been running this mine about a year. When work was sus pended on April 1, it was agreed by the mine union board members end the operators that stripping of dirti should be allowed, but that- no coal was to be loaded for industrial pur poses. Decided to Sell "After six weeks of stripping the company informed me by letter that they would no longer recognize the agreement and that they wanted to load and ship coal for industrial pur poses. I told them I could not give permission for this. "Ten days later Mr. Lester, owner of the mine, asked me to set aside the agreement. I told him I could not repudiate it. He said that unless I repudiated he would open the mine, even if he had to repudiate his agree ment. "Lester said his company was in bad financial straits and that he could not overlook a chance like this ! to make a financial cleanup. He said j he did not regard his contract with us as meaning anything, when het could make a lot of money by it. ; This statement was made to me when he knew the government had offici ally said there would be no profiteer ing in coal because of the strike. ATTENDING SUMMER SCHOOL Mrs. Christine Coughlin, one of the musically talented ladles of the city, is spending a few weeks at Chicago, where she is attending the American Conservatory of Music and taking tome post graduate work in piano and other lines of music. Mrs. Coughlin has been one of the most artistic pianoists In this portion of the state and her appearances in public have been very much enjoyed and her decision to spend the summer in her work promises added pleasure to the music lovers of the city. RAIN IN THE COUNT The lowering clouds at an early hour this morning threatened rain for some time in this locality butthe storm apparently made a detour of this corner of the county altho as near as Murray a heavy rain was re ported and from there south the rain fall seems to have been general. With the work on the street in nrmrresH here a real heavy rain in the city would cause a great deal of delay to the contractor on me sireei work if the general torrential rain fall proceeded to fill the streets, and It is very fortunate that the storm passed byv and gave a cjear day to push ahead with the work on the street.

DEFENDING THE PRINCIPLE OF THE PRIMARY STATUTE League Circulating Petitions In Its Favor Would Do Away with Party Circle, However. Initiative petitions for a constitu tional amendment to perpetuate the direct primary and to abolish the party circle and party designation on all ballots used in the nomination and election of state and county of ficials are beginning to come in to the headquarters of the Nebraska non-party ballot and the direct pri mary league, with headquarters at Lincoln. The league states that there are no paid circulators of petitions. The W. C. T. U., the league of women voters, arid the Nebraska federation of wom en's clubs are working to put the movement over. Petitions have to be ready to file by July 4. Three thousand Nebraska women have received a letter signed by a group cf their leaders asking them to circulate petitions. This letter says in part: "This measure which we are init iating is of special interest to wom en. It will enable men and women who belong to different national po litical parties to work together in one group with reference to county! and state matters. The party circle J will stilt remain as lar as canuiuaie3 for national office are concerned; but the principle of the direct pri- ! m , t elective puD. fficeg pa cjrcles and t I designations on ballots exist only for the purpose of allowing the lazy, the ignorant and the illiterate to vote.

L. P. Rote of Arnold, Custer coun ty, who reports that only one man out of one hundred turned him down, has enlisted the women's club of his community to boost for signers. Labor is with the movement. Peti tions sufficient for 4,000 signatures were requested by J. A. Lochray, of Omaha, editor of the Mid-West Labor News. Farmers, laborers, men, women, all are out to see that petitions enough are filed to assure the proposition being submitted to the voters.
