On last Monday Otto Buck had biB
tonsils, which have been giving: this
gentleman some trouble, removed.
Otto is getting along nicely.
Diller Utt. of Havelock, accompan
ied by his wife, were spending Sun
day at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Georpe Utt. where they were cele
brating Mother's day.
Mr9. A. J. Tool was a visitor in
Sioux City with her daughter and
husband, Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Meyer
for the past week, going over Tues
day and remaining the rest of the
week.
Last week at the M. W A. hall,
there was given on Wednesday even
ing a movie play with musical and
vaudeville features, which were great
ly appreciated and enjoyed by those
who attended.
In a ball game which was played
in Murdock on last Wednesday be
tween a team from the Greenwood
High school and the team of the
High school of Murdock. the result
was a victory for the visitors, the
score being Greenwood. 9, to Mur
dock. 3.
Dr. MacDiarmid and family, of
Omaha, were visiting for the day on
last Sunday at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. L. Neitzel. where- all enjoyed
the day very nicely, notwithstanding
the fact that Mr. Neitzel has not been
in the best of health for some time
past. He is making good gains at
this time, however.
There is joy near Wabash at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Towle, as
on last Tuesday, May 7th, there came
to the home of this estimable couple
a very fine young American who tip
ped the scales at just nine pounds
and the reports are that the mother
and little one are doing nicely and
that the joy of the father knows no
bounds.
It has been said that "Faith with
out Works is Dead" and we believe
it. but some of the reports coming
Irom the vicinity of Murdock are to
the effect that one certain farmer
does not think so. for he was plant
ing corn in the field without even
discing the ground. It might be
that this will serve all right, but we
doubt it.

Arraign Youth
in Murder of
Nels Erickson
Fred Eussell Enters a Plea of Not
Guilty at McCook; Claims to
Have Good Alibi.
McCook, May 9. Fred Russell, 18,
of Cedar Rapids, la., pleaded not
euiltv in countv court Thursday to
a charge of slaying Nels Erick3on of
Wauneta, Neb., on March 17. Judge
Zwink granted the youth permission
to obtain legal advice before waiving
or asking for a preliminary hearing.
Upon arriving here Thursday morn
ing from Los Angeles In custody of
Sheriff George McClain, Russell in
formed authorities his real name is
Paul Konecny. He said his mother,
MrB. Mari Konecny, lives on Route
1, Cedar Rapids.
Youth Calm.
The youth was cool and unruffled
when accused in county court of slay
ing Erickson, who, police say, was ris
road enmnansion. Russell claims to
be able to prove by persons in Den
ver that he was in that city during
all of March. He never knew Erick
son. he said.
Sheriff McClain intends to take
Russell to several of the surrounding
towns where Erickson and his com
panion stopped before the killing in
an attempt to have him identified.
Pictures of Russell have already been
identified as the companion of the
slain man, police declared.
In Trouble Before.
The youth told police that Russell
is the name his older brother used
in traveling around the country.
When he left home, he said, he adopt

SHOOTING CASE REVIVED
Washington The contention that
no arresting officer has the right to
kill a person for violating the pro
hibition law except in self defense
was presented to the house Thurs
day by Representative Brand, demo
crat. Georgia, a dry.
The Georgian discussed the events
surrounding the recent killing in
Washington of the fleeing driver of
an automobile equipped with a
smakescreen. The revival of the
question resulted in a renewed re
quest from Representative LaGuar
dia. republican. New York, a wet,
that the word "applause" be ex
punged from the report in the con
gressional record of a speech telling
of the killing.
Objection to the requestw as made
by Representative Carew, a demo
crat. New York, who asked that the
objection be made permanent and
Speaker Longworth told LaGuardia
that since it had been refused three
time he would not recognize him
to make it again.

Lord Brinkenhead
Moves Approval
of Balfour Note
Britain Urged Not to Ask More
From Debtors Than Would
Pay American Debt
London The Earl of Birkenhead,
moving in the House of Lords for
"approval of the principle of the
famous Balfour note," declared that
Great Britain had never had the
credit she was entitled to for being
prepared at the end of the World
War "to forego every war debt owed
her on the basis of complete can
cellation." The House of Lords, where usually
only a handful of nobles are in at
tendance, was comparatively crowded
when Lord Birkenhead moved ap
proval of the British stand not to de
mand more from her war debtors
than would suffice to pay her own
debt service to the United States.
Lord Birkenhead said: "I make no
attempt at criticism or complaint
that the American Nation, whose in
ternational charities, privately exer
cised, have been upon a scale which
the world previously has never
known and whose humanity and sen
timents no one has even been foolish
enough to impeach, did not in this
matter take the view which impaired
the Balfour memorandum.
"It is very important in speaking
of matters so delicate that I should
make it plain that no English public
man of any consequence with whom
I have been acquainted ever thought
that there was the least justification
for complaining that the American
Nation did not take this view. Had
they taken it, it would, in my judg
ment, have most suitably concluded
a great and perilous comradeship in
arms.
"We could not tell at the moment
when the memorandum was issued
what their views would be. May I
make it plain that there is not, nor
has not been, any complaint of the
decision they took. They were mas
ters of their financial policy pre
cisely as we were.
"Let it go round the world that we
in Britain at the end cf the war were
prepared to forgo every debt owed
to us on the basis of complete can
celation." Bottom Knock
ed Out of Prices
on Wheat
Largest Level for Season in Past Fif
teen Years Is Reached Thurs
day at Chicago.
Chicago "Wheat went begging on
the North American continent Thurs
day. The luster of the golden harvest of
1928 faded as bear traders trimmed
millions of dollars from its value.
Thirty cents a bushel had been slip
ped from the peak price of last Feb
ruary at the close of Thursday's mar
ket session, during which the lowest
level reached at this sesaon of the
year for fifteen years was touched.
Foreign buyers still held aloof, and
holders of wheat, wondering whether
there was not some new significance
in the pit, probed for its bottom with
extreme low offerings, 5 1-Sc under
Wednesday's prices, without attract
ing formidable buying.
The incumberance of a tremendous
1928 crop surplus contending for the
world market with Canadian and Ar
gentine offerings, news from Liver
pool of congested grain storage there
and anticipation of a bearish govern
ment forecast after the close were
the principal elements in the situ
ation Thursday. Altho Liverpool quo
tation sended to to 1 -78 pence high
er these factors combined to drive
prices down to season's record depths
on this continent. May wheat finish
ed at $1.03 5-8 in Chicago and July
at $1.07 7-8 to $1.08, off 3 l-4c to
4 l-2c from Wednesday. Wheat de
clined 3 l-2c at Kansas City, 3 3-8c
to 3 7-8c at Minneapolis, and 2 5-Sc
to 2 3-4c at Winnipeg. Other grains
were scaled down in sympathy with
wheat, corn at Chicago dropping
2 3-8c to 4 c.
Particular interest was attracted
by the department of agriculture crop
productions. The mammoth 1928
crop, held by the farmers and at the
seaboard for higher prices and now
glutting the market, faces competi
tion within eight weeks from the
1929 crop, and the forecast made
public this afternoon was for a win
ter wheat crop of 595,335.000 bushels
based on the May 1 condition of
86.3 per cent of normal. Last year's
domestic crop was 578,964,400 bush
els and the five-year average 549,
257,000 bus. State Journal.

Haensel Paints
Somber Picture
of Russians
Z,uuu,uuu workmen xie oays, jjcuc-
fit at the Expense of 12,
000,000 Peasants
London Russia has become the .
unskilled workers' elysium, accord-
ling to Prof. Paul Haensel, formerly J
, director of the Imperial State Bank
of that country, who has for the last
seven years been professor of public
I finance at the University of Moscow.
Lecturing in Oxford, Professor
Haensel said that the abolition of
wages and other distinctions between
skilled and unskilled labor in Russia
has so reduced the numbers of skill
ed workers that it has been found
necessary to revert to piece-work f
wages in the factories. "Of course,"
said Professor Haensel, "that is j
against socialistic principles, but
what were they to do? Otherwise I
they would continue to get bad re- j
suits." j
It is not only the manual workers
who are affected by the low scale of
remuneration. "The average pay of
a Russian official," said the professor,
"is now 6 10s. monthly. Even in I
Moscow the salary of a government
official averages only 15 a month.
A university professor gets 5, 10
or 14 a month. My salary is only
5 a month, so you see there is a
great deal of saving on me. A teacher
gets a salary of 3, 4, or 5 a
month.
"The amount invested by the gov
ernment in state enterprises is about
220,000,000. Is it a success? We
do not know because we have not
the criterion that you have in west
ern countries. That crierion is profit.
The Russian State enterprises bring
in money, but is it profit or is it a
monopolistic tax?"
Although the Russian peasant was .
now free to sell his produce to whom ;
he would, no one came forward to j
buy from him. That was because the i
railways had orders not to accept j
private grain for transport. The only !
thing left to do was to buy a large j
coffee mill and grind one's own. As
the result of these restrictions the
government stepped in and bought
the peasant's grain at 30 or 40 per
cent less than the prices for grain
abroad. The peasant grumbled, but
he was careful nobody heard him,
because in Soviet Russia grumbling j
was prohibited. ,
The workmen today were prosper- J
pus. They received good wages and
free tickets for all the best seats at j
the theaters. "But," added the j
speaker, "there are only 2,00,000,
workmen in Russia, and their pros-1
perity is gained at the expense of
120.000,000 peasants. The result is
that there is an influx into the towns,
and there is such a shortage of j
houses as has never been seen be-1
fore. Five hundred people arrive in j
Moscow every day looking for work, .
and there are about 2,500.000 people
unemployed in Russia. So great is the j
shortage of accommodation that no-
body is allowed to occupy more than j
90 square feet for himself."
GEORGE APPEALS TO F0MEN
London David Lloyd George, lib
eral party leader, made his great
election arpeal to the new women
voters Thursday night with an ad
dress to 10.000 in Albert hall and
probably 30,000 reached by radio
broadcast to other towns. Nancy
Samuel, twenty-two-year-old daugh
ter cf Sir Herbert Samuel, presided,
and young women predominated thru
out the great hall. The famous Welch
orator began: "Madame Chairman,
ladies and the few gentlemen who
have been permitted to come into the
immense gathering." and then
launched into the subject of disarm
ament, which he had chosen for his
appeal to the women. He expressed
the belief that the story of the na
tions would have been different from
1914 on if Germany and the other
belligerents had given the franchise
to women. "The cause of peace is one
for women." he explained. "You can
not trust men where fighting is con
cerned." MAY SELECT WICKERSHAM
Washington George W. Wicker
sham of New York, attorney general
in the Taft administration, is re
garded as the most likely choice of
President Hoover a3 chairman of hte
proposed national law
enforcement
commission.
Having abandoned hope of obtain- j
ing the services of Associate Justice
Harlan Fiske Stone of the supreme
court, as head of the commission, the J
president was said in high official
circles Thursday to have turned to
Mr. Wickersham as his next choice.
It was stated in official quarters
that the chief executive has not de
termined who would be chairman of
the commission, but that he had
about decided upon several other
members. Newton D. Baker, of Cleve
land, secretary of war under Presi- ,
dent Wilson, was reported to be
among these.

majority in the Missouri state senate
Thursday night was seeking a
method sternly to reprimand Senator
Carter M. Buford, democrat, Elling- .
ton, for his part in a row that broke 1
up a senate session Wednesday after- !
noon. Climaxing a series of causes
was an ultimatum to Senator Buford
to resign, with an accompanying
threat of impeachment, but the situ
ation had toned down tonight.
The row occurred when Harold Ma
son, a senate clerk, rose in the gal
lery while Senator Buford was mak
ing a speech and shouted to "take
the drinking senator from Reynolds
out of here" Buford, demanding that
the. clerk be brought down to the
senate floor to "settle the argument"
launched into a violent tirade of epi
thets. Later he apologized to women
in the galleries and to the senate.
