There was little or nothing to indi

room, a dresser drawer had been
pulled out and cn the basement or
lower floor, a bucket of apples had
been overturned but the apples were
neatly piled on the floor.
The story of the alleged attack was
flimsy. The neighbors, out in
the
shade of trees on that hot afternoon,
saw nothing to indicate that a strug

the Lutz home. A stranger, accord

home and forced entrance. But ap
parently this stranger did not make
any inquiry of anyone as to the lo

The autopsy failed to reveal any
marks on the body. This in itself is
taken as proof that Mrs. Lutz took
the poison. It is believed that the '

there's probably nothing to develop.

HOOPER CALL
ED TO WASH
INGTON TODAY
HARDING SEEKS BASIS FOR
PEACE NEGOTIATIONS IN
TALK WITH CHAIRMAN
BOTH SIDES ARE UNSHAKEN
Attorney General Daugherty Con
siders Possibility of Legal Ac
tion in Both Strikes.
Chicago, July 21. Chairman Ben
V.'. Hooper of the railroad labor
board was on his way to Washing
ton tonight for a conference with
President Harding which adminis
tration officials hoped would be the
basis for peace negotiations in the
national railway shopmen's strike.
The third week of the walkout
ended tonight with rail executives
and union heads firm in their re
spective positions, described by Mr.
Ikioper at the conclusion of unsuc
cessful peace conferences here as
"antipodal."
With the newest peace activities
centered at Washington, Attorney
General Daugherty held conferences
at which the possibility of legal ac
tion in both coal and rail strikes was
discussed, altho it was said no im
mediate proceedings were contem
plated. Mr. Daugherty said, how
ever, that the government had full
power to see that neither transpor
tation nor the production of ma
terials essential to it is broken down.
While the administration was pre
paring to exercise its influence to
bring peace, additional carriers to-
day followed the lead of the Balti-1
more & or.io road ana announced
that separate peace agreements
with their men would be sought. It
was learned today that the feasibil
ity of seeking separate agreements
was one of the matters discussed at
conferences between Chairman Hoop
er and rail executives here a few
days ago. when conciliation efforts
were halted.
"No Separate Agreements" '
While II. M. Jewell, head of thej
shop crafts employes, previously
stated that any agreement must be ,
on a national basis, he has not com-
mented on recent moves of the car-!
riers for separate negotiations. He '
indicated definitely tonight, how-

would not be considered when he

TAKEN TO OMAHA HOSPITAL
From Saturday'? Hally.
Mrs. Lawrence Sprecher, who was
injured so severely in the auto wreck
near Wyoming, Thursday night, was
brought to this city from the hospi
tal at Nebraska City, where was tak
en immediately after the accident.
On the arrival of the patient here it
was found that her jaw was evi
dently broken in two places and ow
ing to the swollen condition had not
been set. She was hurried on to Om
aha and placed in the Imruanuel hos
pital where she will be cared for and
the injured jaw set as soon as pos
sible. It was not possible to fully de
termine ho wseriously otherwise she
might be injured as the attending
surgeons did not desire to disturb
the patient more than necessary un
til the jaw had been set.
The other members of the party
who were injured are all reported
as doing very nicely.

while anyone will readily say,
when questioned, that they appro

yet is it a fact that few realize the
amount of patience required day af

part of "central"' to get your con
nections.
You may storm and snort and
swear, but when vou call for central
the inquiry comes back. "Number,
please, in so even a tone or voice
that you at once become calm. This
is not always the case, however, for
sometimes you are so much out of
sorts that you attempt to take your
spite out on central.
It is not all sunshine in a tele
phone office. When storms cross the
wires and put some of them out of
commission the local telephone girl
must take the blame for it. The
'trouble" man is slow in finding and
adjusting a poor connection and

after all. Most people are kind and
considerate and some go so far as to
say "Thank you" for some special

Clean-Up in Plattsmouth
The community clearance sale that
eighteen of the progressive mer
chants of the city are arranging for
the week of July 20th to August 5th,
promises to be one of the bigsrest
events of its kind ever held in this
part of the state and one that should
be taken advantage of to the fullest
extent.
This event is to be known as the
"Ivet's Go" sales, although from the
merchant's standpoint it might more
properly be turned "LKT GO," for
that is what they propose to do. It
is equipped with self-starters of the
rarest bargains in the line of season
able merchandise. The merchants
are having their bills prepared for
the srlc--and in the center of these
bills will be found the self starter:-,
that will open the eyes of the pros
pective buyers. Among the starters
ire brooms for 29c, 20c hose for Sc,
15c handkerchiefs for a nickel, In
gersoll watches for 9Sc, and on Wed
nesday, August 2nd, there will be a
special fresh meat offer that will
prove a boon to the farmers who are
buying supplies for the threshing
days. On this day also there will
be a band concert in the evening and
the stores will be open until 9 .p. in.
Other self-starters to be featured are
Winchester screwdrivers, 10c, win
dow and wall brushes, 49c, ice cream
lundaes and sodas, 10c. and many;
other bargains that will make the
eyes cf the purchasers open with
surprise.
It is not alone the "self starters"
that will give the people their full
money's worth, but each of the stores
will have all of their summer mer
chandise on the block at prices that
cannot fail to move them at once.
This clearance sale is to be a semi
annual event, in July and January,
and at which time the merchants of
the city will make a real sacrifice of
the goods that they have on hand,
ind which will give the public the
fullest advantage of the saving in
price. There will be no entertain-

this way will go into the bargains
that will be offered the public and

SENATE LIMITS THE

Washington, July 20. In voting
today, 3S to 17, to limit the duties
on cotton gloves to a maximum of
73 per cent ad valorem, the senate
administered to the Inance commit
tee majority the most decisive defeat
it has sustained since it broueht in
the administrative tariff bill exactly
three months ago. Twenty republi
cans, including Lodge of Massachus
etts, the majority floor leader, voted
against the committee. The other
nineteen included Borah of Idaho,
Capper, Kansas; Cummins. Iowa.
One democrat, Broussard, Louisi
ana, voted with the committee ma
jority. Senator Lenroot led the fight for
the maximum limitation. He declared
congress should not impose a great
er duty than 7i per cent ad valorem
of any article of such general use ns
gloves in order to stimulate domestir
production.
Senators Wadsworth and Calder,
republicans, New York, led the op
position to the Lenroot maximum
amendment.
Senators Pomerene. Ohio, and
Simmons of North Carolina, Smith
of South Carolina, and Hitchcock of
Nebraska, democrats, argued that
the facts showed the committee rates
were too high.
RESULT OF NON
PARTISAN VOTE
Miss Alpha C. Peterson Will be Un
opposed in Fall Campaign
Matzen Leads County.
The result of the non-partisan of
fices in the county was not fully de
termined until yesterday when a
check of the vote was made by the
county clerk and in many of the pre
cincts the boards had failed to tabu
late the vote cn the returns and
made necessary the check from the
poll books.
The result of the vote in Cass coun
ty was as follows:
State Superintendent
John M. Matzen 5S6
E. Ruth Pyrtle 571
Charles W. Taylor 471
Martha L. Powell 420
C. L. Westcott 31 S
W. A. Dunbar 117
County Superintendent
Alpha C. Peterson 2,024
The fact tb?t Miss Peterson was
unopposed at the primary is an indi
cation of the general feeling of sat
isfaction held by school patrons and
voters over the conduct of the af
fairs of the schools of the county and
a justly deserved recognition of
i her work.
j The superintendent not having to

FEAR LAXITY IN
HOME LIFE MAY
BE DANGEROUS
Church Warning to Men and Women
of America as to What to
Expect, is Sounded.
New York, July 19. Uttering a
"solemn warning to the men and wo
men of America!" that "this nation
will decay and finally perish when
American homes cease to revere God,"
the report of the joint commission on
home and family life, which will be
presented to the triennial general con
vention of the Episcopal church meet
ing in Portland, Ore., September C
next was made public today.
"Advanced culture did not save past
civilizations, didn't prevent Germany
plunging into a gulf of infamy. Up
on America's consecration to God de
pends her fate," says the report,
which contains an exhaustive study
of social and industrial conditions in
the United States with particular ref
erence to home life.
The commission was appointed by
the Episcopal general convention six
years ago and includes in its person
nel some of the most distinguished
of the bishops, clerical and lay mem
bers of the church. Among other sub
jects which are frankly treated are
those of marriage, divorce and birth
control. The report contains a strong
recommendation against the latter.
Rev. Charles Noyes Tyndell, S. T. I).,
of Williamsport, Pa., secretary of the
commission, in transmitting the re
port, says that the whole effort of the
the commission has been to present to
the country a vital message in as con
cise form as possible.
Lack of Religion in Home
"Even a cursory glance at condi
tions in the average American home
reveals evidence sufficient to war
rant the most careful study of those
influences now affecting these homes
from the standpoint of morals and
religion," the report continues. "The
attitude toward youth, even more
than the attitude of the youth, will
scarcely bear severe scrutiny.
"We touch the root of our family
problem when we point to the lack
of religion in the home. It is para
lyzing to think of the average Amer
ican family going on from the rising
to the retiring hour as if God had no
existence. Sunday is a day for extra
sleep, motoring, Sunday papers in
many volumes, comis supplements. If
American chijdren are not to be
taught of God in the schools, and He
is unnamed in the home, what can
we expect but that at this moment
the United States Is actually devel
oping into a non-Christian nation?"
Touching upon domestic life in
America, the report says:
"Where family life is dishonored,
wedding unfaithfulness lightly re
garded, parental responsibility neg
lected, filial respect and obediance
slighted, there, we may be sure, so
ciety is rotten at the core. We trem
ble for the future of a state or na
tion where lax theories concerning
domestic life gain ground. Even lax
er practice will certainly prevail.
"The remedy for the frightful dis
solution and its inevitable conse
quence of race suicide is to be found
in Christian training alone. Reme
dial legislation while imposing diffi
culties in the way of annulment does
not go to the rot of the evil. It at
tacks many outward symptoms of the
disease, but it does not destroy the
germ of the evil or cure it at its
source.
Teaching of Boys and Girls
"Boys and girls must be taught as
early as possible that the chief pur
poses of marriage is the perpetuation
of the race, involving the begetting
and education of children for the
work of the world. Marriage is a
high and holy vocation because the
married pair are co-operating with
the Creator in the continuance of the
human race.
"This commission heartily endors
es the warning uttered by the great
Lambeth conference of bishops, gath
ered from all over the world in Lon
don in 1920, against the practice of
means for the avoidance of concep
tion as involving grave dangers to
physical health as well as moral in
nocence, and threatening the future
of the human race. We make our
own the words of the conference
committee as applying in particular
to the Unitel States."
The report is signed by Rt. Rev.
William H. Moreland, D. D., Bishop
of Sacramento, who is chairman of
the commission; Rt. Rev. Sidney Cat
lin Partridge, D. D., Bishop of West
Missouri; Rt. Rev. David Lincoln
Ferris, D. D., Bishop of Western New
