ELOPES TO BLUFFS
IN RAIN STORM
Son of Governor Nominee Who Scored
Snobbishness at University
Weds Lincoln Girl.
After having driven thru a rain
storm from Lincoln, Neb., William
W. Norton, 25, of Polk, Neb., son of
the democratic nominee for governor
of Nebraska in the last election, and
Miss Catherine Hayden, 22, of Lin
coin, niece of Clarence Harmon, for
mer democratic candidate for state
auditor, were married Wednesday
night at Council Bluffs.
The coupje, accompanied by Mr.
and Mrs. E. it. tscnencn 01 Lincoln,
left Lincoln Wednesday afternoon in
Norton's car and arrived at the
Bluffs at 9 o'clock Wednesday night,
only to find the "cupid bureau"
closed.
On a plea that he had to take the
state bar examination in Lincoln
Thursday morning, Norton influenced
Roy Hardesty, clerk of the court, to
issue them a license, after which the
couple were married in the parson
age of Second Presbyterian church
by the Rev. James P. Linn.
Hardesty said Norton told him his
car had been damaged in the storm
on the way to the Bluffs, and that
they had left it in a garage for re
pairs while they were being mar
ried. The young couple could not be
located in Council Bluffs or Omaha
Wednesday night.
Norton, a senior at the University
of Nebraska, delivered the Ivy day
address at the university last week
in which he charged there was too
much snobbishness and idolization of
athletes among the students of the
university. Mrs. Norton has been
secretary to the state purchasing
agent for the past two years.
CORN ACREAGE IS
FAR ABOVE NORMAL
Burlington Reports Places it at 108
Per Cent of the Usual Plant- j
ing In Nebraska.
Division Freight Agent J. J. Cox
of the Burlington at Lincoln has
completed his crop report for the end
of May, based on information sup
plied him by agents of the company
on lines north of the Nebraska City
to Holdrege line. Mr. Cox finds af
ter digesting these reports that the
condition of winter wheat compared
with normal years i3 but 69 per cent;
spring wheat, 85 per cent; oats, 85;
corn, 91; potatoes, 87. The acreage
of corn is placed at 108 per cent;
the average rain fall for the two
weeks in the territory about .61 of
an inch, wbila the temperature range
was wide, being from 36 to 90, the
extremes not being best for growing
crops.
Discussing this period of crop
making (the latter part of May) Mr.
Cox says:
"Weather conditions the early part
of the period were favorable, but the
last half of period was very cold
during which time the damaging
frosts occurred. The entire terri
tory needs rain. From the above it
will bo Keen that the winter wheat
is just fair. In addition to consid
erable amount being winter killed,
there has been some damage by the
dry weather, which has caused the
stocks to joint close to the ground.
The corn crop Is not very far along,
but with few exceptions there has
been no damage by frosts. Pastures
and meadows are generally very dry
and short, and need rain badly. Al
falfa showed 6igns of an excellent
crop, but' was damaged considerably
by frosts. It is the general opinion
that the apple crop has not been ma
terially damaged, altho gTapes and
small fruit Is practically a total loss
in most localities."

MOTHER'S BIRTHDAY SUNDAY
The children of Mrs. Louise Stohl
man celebrated-the 56th birthday an

to all the details of the celebration,
displaying exceptional ability and
nothing was left undone to show the
reverence and devotion of the chil

WILLIAM NORTON
OREGON COYOTE BROKE
ALL WORLD RECORDS
Pendleton, Ore., June 4. Umatilla
county is fast producing new world
coyote records.
Recently Alva Stone, government
i trapper, captured a mother copote
with fourteen puppies. Stone re
ported to Stanley G. Jewett, In charge
of the predatory animal work afe the
biological survey offices In Portland.
Jewitt found that the animal had
equalled the world's record.
But Stone felt Umatilla county had
greater fame coming, so he went out
and trapped a coyote with eighteen
little coyote puppies, all In one den.
Jewitt was inclined to doubt If the
old animal was mother of all eigh
teen, although they appeared of the
same size and showed no evidence
that they might not be of the same
litter.
'Congratulations for going Into
the trapping business ori a wholesale
hasis," Jewitt wrote Stone. "I guess
you have run onto a coyote orphan
asylum."

COMMENCEMENT IS
HELD AT WESLEYAN
Bishop Francis John McConnell De
livers Address Scholarship and
Fellowship Announnced
From Thursday's Dally
Commencement exercises for Ne
braska Wesleyan university were held
Wednesday morning in the Wesleyan
auditorium. Sixty-nine were gradu
ated from the college of liberal arts,
ninety-four from the teachers college,
and thirteen from the college of fine
arts. Bishop Francis John McConnell
delivered the commencement address,
and scholarship and fellowship
awards were announced.
The great problem before society
today. Bishop McConnell told the
graduating class, is to bring about
a feeling of good will among its mem
bers. He gave examples of intolerant
"labeling" of members or society
holding different views, and urged
that both in domestic and foreign af
fairs care be taken to minimize fric
tion and ill-will.
Science, Bishop McConnell said, has
rid the world of fear of disease, and
has eliminated the probability of the
people starving to death. It has yet,
lie said to bring about a feeling of
good will, and to eliminate or further
minimize animosities and misunder
standing. Before new social orders
are innovated, this good will must be
brought about; socialism, commun
ism, or bolshevlsm will not find the
world ready for them at least until
then.
Rev. F. F. Travis of Lincoln and
W. F. Crossland of Pontiac, Mich.,
received honorary degrees of doc
tor of divinity. Dr. Travis is pastor
at Grace Methodist church in Lincoln.
Mr. Crossland received hi3 A. B. de
gree at Wesleyan university and at
Oxford university, England. He is
pastor of the Methodist church at
Pontiac.
Invocation was delivered by Rev.
M. E. Gilbert, of the class of 1900.
He also delivered the benediction.
Degrees, fellowships, scholarships,
and other honors were awarded by
Chancellor I. B. Schreckengast of the
Wesleyan university.
SAYS EVOLUTION TRIAL
. WILL LAST 30 MINUTES
Clarksville, Tenn., June 4. De
claring that evolution is "all bosh,"
Governor Austin Peay, visiting his
home town here, said that he expects
to get as far as possible from the
trial of J. T. Scopes at Dayton, on
a charge of violating the Tennessee
law against the teaching of evolution
theories.
The governor predicted that the
trial would not last more than thirty
minutes and asserted that instead of
going to the higher courts "it should
be taken to the countrv."
' Chicago, June 4. While the legal
forces of Tennessee prepare to go in
to action against the theory of evo
lution, England is looking on in sur
prise and perplexity. Professor James
Moffat of the University of Glasgow,
who recently attracted international
attention with his translation of the
Old Testament, told an audience at!
the University of Chicago.

Pastors to Embody Position in Iteso
lution to Be Made at Colmnbrs
Conference.
Columbus. Neb., June 5. Indorse
ment of the position taken by Wil
liam Jennings Bryan on the question
of evolution, but disapproval of the
attempt of any state to legislate on
the curriculum of its schools, will be
embodied in a resolution to be read
at the annual conference of Nebraska
Lutheran clergymen here June 9 to
12.
The Rev. Lawrence Acker, pastor
of the First Lutheran church, Oma
ha, in outlining the position of the
church, especially as regards the
Tennessee trial of Professor Scope
charged with teaching evolution in
violation ofthat state's law, said he
ieu mat ne was expressing me senti
ment of every Lutheran minister In
Nebraska,
"While we agree with Mr. Bryan
and declare the teaching of evolution
should be curbed in the United States,
we are prone to disagree with state
legislators in enacting laws tending
to goven instruction in public
schools," the Rev. Mr. Acker said.
More than 125 clergymen of the
church in Nebraska and Wyoming ex
pect to attend the conference next
Tuesday.

PAINLEVE'S MINISTRY
SURVIVESFIRST CRISIS
Caillaux Again Repeats Intention to
Fund War Debts et Once
Storm Blows Over.
Paris, June 5. The ministry of
Premier Painleve today survived its
first crisis a short one which ser
iously threatened a fatal termination
and in the course of which Minister
of Finance Caillaux took occasion
again to declare that he intended to
fund the French war debts aa soon
as possible.
The premier and M. Caillaux, In
conference with disgruntled repre
sentatives of the four groups that
form the government majority in the
chamber, were hotly pressed.
Louis Loucheur led the assault for
theradicala while Vincent Aurlol,
socialist chairman of the finance
committee of the chamber of depu
ties, sharply resented declarations
by Caillaux.
M. Auriol questioned the accuracy
of figures submitted by M. Caillaux,
which showed a deficit of more than
3 billion francs in the budget of
1925, which M. Herriot and M. Aur
iol had asserted had been balanced.
The group leaders demanded the
government put a little more demo
cratic flavor into its financial proj
ects, and proposed a capital levy.
M. Caillaux's reply was that his
resignation was ready if a majority
of the government coalition lacked
confidence in him, but that in no
case would he propose a capital
levy.
Premier Painleve supported his
minister of finance on this point, but
agreed the financial stabilization
plans might be discussed with the
budget. This concession appeared to
have calmed the fury of the social
ists. i A A A A A A A A
LEGION NEWS!
A column appearing In the
Daily Journal on Saturdays
June 15-20, Carnival week.
The Greater Isler shows will be in
Plattsmouth. .
Their appearance is on behalf of
the Drum and Bugle corps.
The money will be used for the
outfitting of the corps, including the
paying for equipment already pur
chased. The 4 corps was organized wholly
at individual expense and ,'ho one
has been asked to contribute a cent
to it so far.
Returns from the carnival should
provide sufficient funds to purchase
suitable all-year uniforms, which
with the white summer time outfits
now owned should enable the boys
to step out in any parade.
Post officials are planning to se
cure a captured German cannon in
the near future for mounting in the
memorial plat in the local cemetery.
Counting the cost of getting it here
and set up and the amount the post
contributed to paving in the ceme
tery, nearly $1,000 in cash has been
expended there. Improvements at
the memorial plat four years ago,
cost around $000 alone.
The favorable comment heard on
all sides for our drum and bugle
corps, the firing squad and all of the
Legion who had part in last .Satur
day's Decoration day 'services, be-
speaks a more than friendly interest
in tne post and the big tnings it is
doing. Its whole purpose Is not to
E'ive carnivals entertainments. tn.
or the provision of club roms for Its
memoers. its purpose in backing tne
proposed building drive is not a sel
fish one to make money for itself,
but rather to spend of its money
to give the community something it
nas long needed.
And on top of it all, the post will
he round ready and willing to con
tribute a generous . amount to the
fund for paving or graveling the road
to the cemetery, when the matter Is
aennuciy worked out.
The picture, "Nebraska Under
Fire," has been booked for local

CHNESE TO
LAUNCH WAR
INEVITABLY
General Fighting Promises to Dwarf
Disturbances in Three Cities;
Clash May Be Delayed.
Washington, June 5. Information
from authentic sources of the swift
approach in China of general war
fare promises to dwarf present dis
turbances In Shanghai, Canton and
Changsha, is in the hands of the
Washington government.
The purport of this information,
which also has reached the Associat
ed Press, Is that a clash for military
mastery of China is impending.
Whether It will come immediately, on
the heels of the trouble in the coastal
regions, or break later is held prob
lematical but authorities on the
ground declare It is inevitable. Chang
Tso Lin, Manchurlan war lord, with
his force of 200,000 men, and Feng
Yu Using, with a following of 175,
000, are being watched by observers.
Japan to Aid Chang.
Chang has the sympathy and prob
ably some form of substantial aid
from Japan, Feng, the so-called
Christian general, admittedly is re
ceivlng active and material assist
ance from soviet Russia. Unquestion
ed sources have reported a continuous
supply of arms, to be reaching Feng s
troops, from Moscow and Urga.
Feng has already withdrawn from
Pekin, which he took'Sn 1924. There
has been no open clash as yet be
tween the forces of Chang and Feng,
but recent direct reports indicate
that the outbreak of hostilities can
not long be delayed.
In view of these circumstances, the
disturbances in Shanghai and else
where, precipitated by Chinese stu
dents, the only central objective of
which is the stripping of special
rights from foreigners in China, take
on new significance. The demands
made by student and other discon
tented elements synchronize exactly
with soviet propaganda.
Coolidge Advised.
President Coolidge is being kept
advised of the situation in China. He
intends that the American naval
craft now in Chinese waters as well
as the marines landed in Shanghai,
the legation guard at Pekin, and
other of the American detachments
shall be utilized for the protection of
American lives and properties.
Secretary Wilbur, meanwhile, has
left Rear Admiral Washington, com
manding the Asiatic squadron, free to
use his discretion In the employment
of the ships and men at his com
mand.
FEAR FUTURE OF
WESTERN LEAGUE
Oklahoma Officials Can See End of
Circuit if Nothing i3 Done
Teams Losing Honey.
Laxity In the management of the
league affairs, present financial
losses and luring offers from the
Texas league has caused the officials
of the two Oklahoma members of
the Western league, Tulsa and Okla
hoira City, to fear the future of the
latter circuit if the situation is not
remedied.
Tulsa and Oklahoma City are aim
ing their guns at President A. L
Tearney charging the league head
with laxity In his duties, especially
In the matter of selecting arbitrators
and lack of attention to correspond
ence from league members. Says
James Mumphries, secretary of the
Oklahoma City club:
"President Jack Holland of the
Indians has long felt that Tearney
has been too lax In the matter of
league affairs. We heartily agree
with Mr. Crawford, president of the
Tulsa club, that the poor brand of
officiating in the league this season
is hurting the gate receipts. Inso
far as Tearney has repeatedly refused
to get in touch with the situation.
he must resign or the league Is cer
tainly going on the rocks. And
when It does we will certainly be
right with Tulsa in going to the
Texas league where the two cits
will be welcomed with open arm; .'
Proof that the Texas circuit is
ready for the two Western league
cities comes from President Roberts
of the Texas league in a dispatch
from San Antonio. It reads:
San Antonio, Tex. "We would
welcome Tulsa and Oklahoma City
into the Texas league even such a
move necessitated a ten-club circuit,"
President J. Doak Roberts of the
Texas loop said.
Roberts declared that he did not
wish to become involved in any of
the Western league's rows, but that
he was certain Tulsa and Oklahoma
City would be granted entry into the
Texas league if desired and their
withdrawal from the Western league
can be arranged.
From the tend of the above dis
patches it would seem something is
brew. Omaha has been drawing
poorly. Des Moines and St. Joseph
have been losing money. In fact,
Lincoln has had to depend on Sun
day crowds alone to keep its head
above water. A couple of poor Sun
days would make it hard sledding for
the Lincoln tribe.
President Tearney has three more
years on his Cve-year contract to
serve. However, if Oklahoma City,
Tulsa, Lincoln, Denver and ,Des
Moines can co-operate, the situation
may be remedied by Tearney's re
moval. Nobody seems to know how much
money is in the league treasury. A
great deal of money was spent a
year ago to keep the Denver club on
its feet. Three years ago Sioux City
was asking for help. In fact, the
Packers were always a foul ball off I
the Western league bat until Lin-J1
coin was asked to Join the circuit,
and now Tulsa and Oklahoma City,
the two baby members of the league,
are crying. What next?
UNUSUAL OPERATION
TO SAVE BOY'S ABM
Chicago, June 5. Doctors at Me
morial hospital tonight announced an
unusual operation made in the ef
fort to save the entire arm' of a 3-year-old
baby, after the member had
been caught and crushed in an elec
tric clothes wringer. The torn and
shattered right arm of the child,
Henry Henning, has been made to
Join its tissues and fibers with the
healthy skin and muscle of the ab
domen. It Is hoped eventually it
will be possible to cut the arm away
from the body witht sufficient new
skin and muscle to make a strong
functioning member of the arm.
Complete success of the operation,
known as the "flap graft," cannot
be determined for several weeks.
HOPEFUL OF
POLE PARTY
Not Sure That Even an Accident Has
Befallen the Fliers, and Con-
fident of Eventual Betnrn.
Geneva, June 3. Dr. Fridtjoff
Nansen, veteran Artie explorer and
relief worker said, today that absence
of news from the Amundsen flying ex
pedition to the north pole does not
justify the deduction that a catas
trophe or even an accident has occur
red. Even if one airplane has been
damaged, the six members of the ex
pedition could travel in the other,
said Dr. Nansen. If Amundsen is at
tempting to return from the pole by
foot, it will require twenty-five days
to reach Cape Columbia, Grantland,
off the northwest coast of Greenland,
but sixteen months might be required
to reach a place from which it will
be possible to resume contact with
the world. .
Planning Belief Expedition.
New York. June 3. Concern for
the eafety of the Amundsen-Ellsworth
expedition which left Spitzbergen,
May 21, in an attempt to fly to the
north pole, had reached the point
where the Norwegian government
considers a relief expedition neces
sary. A steamer bearing two air
planes, three experienced pilots and
four mechanicians will leave Horten,
on Christianafjord either Friday or
Saturday, according to the latest ad
vices from Oslo, the Norwegian
capital.
The two weeks allotted by Cap
tain Amundsen for completion of his
trip to the pole and return, elapse
tomorrow. The explorer, in his final
instructions to the crews of the
steamers. Farm and Hobby, directed
that after a fortnight they should
begin cruising along the edge of the
ice pack keeping a continuous look
out.
Plans of Search Leader.
Olso, Norway, June 3. Lieut. Lut-
zow Holm, officially selected today to
head the Norwegian government fly
ing expedition in search of the
Amundsen-Ellisworth polar party,
told the newspaper Dagblad today
that his orders were to reconnoiter
along the edge of the Arctic fields
without attempting to fly across this
ice to the north pole. He said he
thought he would be able from the
air to see about 100 miles on clear
days. He said, however, it would be
difficult for him to distinguish single
human beings from the air. He ex
nlained that Amundsen has -smoke
bombs for use as signals and that
he hoped to be able to locate the ex
plorer by this means.
Motorship Fast in Ice.
Seattle, Wash., June 3. A radio
and cablegram received here today
indicated that the motorship Charle3
Bower which was ordered by her
owners, Liebes & Co., San Fran
cisco furriers, to proceed into the
Arctic ocean in search of an aerial
polar expedition led by Roald Amund
sen had been further delayed by ice.
Arctic navigators have predicted that
she will not reach Point Barrow,
Alaska, wither it has been said two
planes under Amundsen s command
may have flown from the Spitzbergen
islands, north of Norway, before
August.
PUREBRED CATTLE PAY WELL
Martin Mischke, Crofton, marketed
a load of Dure bred Hereford long
yearling steers averaging 1,009
pounds here at $10.00, within 10
cents Der hundred of the day's ex
treme top. All the breeding cattle
on Mr. Minshke's place are register
ed, and every steer in today s snip
ment was eligible to registry. They
had been fattened on ear corn, alfalfa
hay and a little alfalfa molasses
meal. "Raising highly bred cattle and
feeding them for the market is a
paying business in the long run,
tho this yl.ar my ca,ttle are not
making any money as corn was too
high." Mr. Mischke said. "Ail me
corn I fed was my own raising, but
it was worth at least a dollar a bush
el and these cattle will hardly pay a
return on that price.
"However, I have no intention or
quitting the cattle raising business
as long as I am on the farm. I have
plenty of pasture and the pnly way
to make it pay its way is to raise cat
tle on it. But I have concluded thai u
does not pay to winter anything but
vour cows, and from now on I am go
ing to feed all my calves. They will
he run with the cows sixt to eight
months and then Dut right on grain
and maketed the middle of the follow
ing summer. This year I have about
100 calves and if I raise a big enougxi
crop of corn, all of them will go on
feed next fall." Omaha Journal

MARKERS ON NE
BRASKAHIGHWAYS Start on Erection of Uniform Mark
ers to be Made by Department
Of Public Works.
Secretary Cocnran of the depart
ment of public works is pleased with
the bids on gravel for 330 miles of
highway. He believes the average
price per yard is a little lower than
prices of gravel bought last year.
Bids on as much more gravel will bo
opened in July. .Gravel three inches
deep is being used more than former
ly. Two years after this Is 6pread,
or when necessary, another three
inch layer will be put on, making
eix inches in all. This plan is deem
ed best for the state in obtaining
federal aid, as six inche3 of gravel
can be put on before the stato will
have to commence paying for main
tenance. Secretary Cochran said the uni
form road markers approved by a
committee of the national depart
ment of agriculture and the national
association of highway officials will
be adopted In Nebraska and some
may be installed before the close of
the year. Thase warning markers
are of different shapes, each shape
denoting a different warning. They
include circles, squares, diamonds
and octagonal shapes. The state
map markers will also be used. Both
will probably bear black letters on a
yellow background. The number of
the highway will appear on the
state map markers. All markers will
be placed close to the roadside. The
circle will denote a railway cross
ing, the square a school house, the
diamond a sharp curve or some other
danger in the roadway.
