MAN FOUND DEAD;
BODY SHOWS BURNS.
Superior. Jan. 8. H. C. Smith, 68.
resident of Superior and Edgar for
the past 20 years, was found dead In
his yard In West Superior this morn
ing. The surface of the body showed
burnB.
Smith slept alone in his home last
night, his wife being sick and cared
for at the home of a daughter. Mrs.
Ike Stransberry, in another part of
Superior.
It appears that the man went to
a cob 6hed at the rear of his home
this morning for fuel to kindle a
fire. Kerosene was stored in a five
gallon can in the shed and drawn
out in a tin can. Some of the liquid
was found in the overturned tin near
the dead body. It Is possible that
the kerosene Ignited from his pipe,
which was found near the body.
A wife, six married daughters and
one sonf nearly all residents of Ne

BERNARD GRAN'
Chicago, Jan; S. Bernard Grant
was given another lease on life to
day.
Grant was under sentence to hang
January 16. Governor Len Small
granted a reprieve to April 17.
The case of Grant came to notice
when Nathan Leopold and Richard
Loeb, slayers of a little boy escaped
with a life sentence. Grant killed
policeman in a holdup. A monster
petition was sent the governor asking
his life-be spared and pointed out
that while Leopold and Loeb, rich
youths, escaped the gallows. Grant, a
poor boy, was being sent to his doom
without a legal chance.
Governor Small is expected to take
final action on the petition after the
supreme court has decided the case of
Walter Kruse, Grant's confederate
who is also under sentence to death
The supreme court affirmed Grant's
sentence.
SOVIET CHIEFS GRANT
PEASANTS MORE POWER
Moscow. Jan. 8. At an important
conference now in progress at the
Kremlin between soviet officials and
representatives of the peasantry
looking to a more complete soviet!
zation of the villages wider applica
tion of bolshevism and greater priv
ileges and justice to peasants, it was
decided to give the peasantry a more
active part in Russian elections, per
mltting them to name their own can
didates as opposed to purely com
munistic candidates.
The socalled new economic policy
was a step in thij! direction, but to
day's action is said to involve wider
concession to the agrarian popula
tion than afiy heretofore granted. It
presages, many belive, a distinct de
parture of the government from the
strict principles of the doctrine of
bolshevism which have hitherto been
in force.

Lincoln. Jan. 9. Contractors
working on state highways were
paid at least $250,000- more than
their original contracts called for,
evidence in the hands of former
nroverncr Bryan indicates, it was
learned today.
Thin evidence was gathered by
federal and states investigators work
ing over a period of many months.
It is supplemented by affidavits of
road engineers.
Former Covcrnor Bryan, in his
message to the state legislature
Thursday afternoon, charged that
the ftate had lost upwards of $100,
000 through irregularities and "fals
ification of records" in the highway
department
lie said the alleged irregularities
occurred under a previous adminiB
tration when S. R. McKelvie, Lin
coln, was governor.
Awaited Probe Ends
Today Bryan confirmed , reports
that the loss to the state might pass
the $250,000 mark.
"I did not make the charges pub
lie before." he said, "because I was
waiting for liie investigation to be
completed, the evidence all gathered.
and alo to give the federal authori
ties an opportunity to act.
"Another rrason for my including
this matter in riy message to the
legislature is that twice that body
or its committees have 'white
washed' the highway department. I
wanted the legislature to have some
thing before it this time that could
not be wiped up by the application
of a bucket cf kalsomine."
The ex-govrrnor admitted he has
not laid all l is cards on the table.
ITe hss in his possession a mass of
documents, exhibits and affidavits,
w hich he says prove the truth of all
his charges.
Under Federal Quiz
It became known today that fed
eral engineers and attorneys from
Washington have been in Nebraska
for months during the last two years
investigating the state highway de
partment. As p remit of their investigation
nnd report to the federal road de
ortmcnt, (ho federal government
l;as demanded that the state refund
t- deral ?!d money spent on two pro
cots and is still investigating other
projects, all built -before the Brvan
dminisiration, it is asserted.
It also was learned today that one
of the prineipni item on the list of
alleged irregularities is the so-called
Cherry county road project.
This rorid. several miles long, was
supposed to he a clay road. Contract
for grading and leveling it was let
by the state for ?1 a cubic yard. The
contract was sub-let for 75 centJi a
cubic yard.
Specifications Changed
Investigation bv federal and state
authorities is paid to have revealed
that after the road had been con-
iuo specifications were
changed so as to call for a "rock
rond" iNid the work paid for at the
rate cf ??.50 a cubuc vard.
Governor Adam McMullen. who
deviated from his prepared inaugur
al address Thursday to refer to Bry
an's charges against former highway
department officials, said he would
not "whitewash" anrone.
I was surprised." said McMullen
to Bryan, "to hear you charge Irreg
ularities in the highway department
that if true must have occurred more
than two years ago.
"If these charges are true, and the
evidence that I am furnished or that
