Oarage Changed. The remodeling of the Alvo gar age has made rapid progress during the past week, the concrete block front which adorned thtf building has been removed t le replaced by a stucco front and a portion of the side. The work has been advanced by James l'llklngton of Lincoln formerly of Alvo. The weather on last Wednesday was such as to ma terially interfere with the work as a strong hot wind from the south . dried the stucco very hapldly and this checked it. which required the going over of the work a second time to get what was desired. Alvo Wants n Physician. Sin re the death of Dr. L. Muler which was some time since, the city of Alvo has had to ask medical serv ices from some of her neighboring towns. It was thought a short fine since that she was to be blessed -or otherwise with two practloneers. One lr. Feterman, late of Wymore. actually did move hl. house goods to Alvo with the evident intention of making this his home, but after they had remained for a week came with trucks and moved them to Lin coln. Why the rapid change in lo cation the people of Alvo are left to conjeetuate. However, this would be a good place for the location of a good physician, and why not some one who wants a place for the. exer cise of their ability to heal the peo ple, come and locate in this city. t , Construction cf Home Going: On. The home of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Banning which is now progressing nicely is under the charge of Oust Sorninn of Greenwood and a most quail tied builder, who is being as sisted by a number of local work ers.

C Say Curtiss Changed Mind on Rail Post Decided to Stick When Learned of Weaver's Choice for Job Had Utility Offer Lincoln. Neb.. May 21. That John K. Curtlss. state railway com missioner, recently told Coventor Weaver he would resign from the commission, and that he changed his mind when he round out whom governor planned to name In place was an interesting story statthouse circles today. Mr. Curtlss. it was learned. the his in re- celved a lucrative offer of n posi tion with a Nebraska public utility, said to be the Iowa-Nebraska Light & Power company. Mlchinery was set in motion at once to obtain the governor's consent to appoint Hugh Drake, secretary of the commission to the unexpired term of seven months. Drake, it is said, obtained considerable backing for the appoint ment. He went to Omaha, where it Is reported he met with several groups to gain their support. Identity of the man whom the governor wanted to name is shroud ed in mystery. The Nebraska railway commission has been a stepping store for posi tion with utilities companies. Kail way Commissioner H. C. Taylor went to a tine position with the railroads. L. D. Densmore. secretary of the com mission, is now attorney for the Cen tral "West Public Service company. stationed In Omaha. After his defeat for commission. Thome Brown ac cepted a position with im electrical association with headquarters at Un- coln. Mr. Curtiss already has filed for renoinination for railway com missioner. "Nothing: to It Now." Commisioner Curtiss told a World- Herald reporter Wednesday evening after the street car fare hearing that such an offer had been made, but that "there is nothing to It now. "ICs all over," he said, "Offers of positions frequently come. It Is noth ing unusual. , Commissioner C. A. Randall was foil ml complaining because Commis sioner Miller had walked out on mm and Mr. Curtiss and gone home leav ing them to make the decision. "Wes. Curtiss got an offer of a good place." Randall said when ask ed. "Hut when we foun dout that the governor wanted to appoint a politician in his plaee. Curtiss de cided not to leave me In the lurch. 'Miller won't do anything. Curtiss and 1 have to do all the work." Com missioner Randall said Mr. Curtiss offer was from a utility company. World-Herald. RECALL AN UNDERSTANDING Pawnee City Pawnee county's re publican central committee rose to a poiut Wednesday afternoon and adopted a resolution asking the Cage county republicans to adhere to a tacit understanding of several years regarding the senatorship of this dis trict. Pawnee and Cage counties. The resolution passed points out that for some time the two coun ties have co-operated on the policy of supporting for two terms a can didate from one county, and for the alternating two terms, from the other. The resolution will be presented to Cage county republicans this week, and the carryiug of it into effect will present a problem for the Cage county republicans, from among whom a candidate has al ready filed for the senatorship dur ing a year regarded here as a Paw nee county man's year. When appraised of the commit tee's action, following the meeting here. K. S. Wherry of Pawnee City, present senator, was non-committal. Senator Wherry, drawn into state wide prominence by his fight in the legislature on behalf of failed state Mnk depositors, added that impor tunities rrom many points in Nebras ka sought his interest ia higher places on the state ticket. He has been called to Lincoln to confer Thursday with Nebraska republicans.

The pave ment will bo laid from Creenwood to a point near the present overhead crossing of the Hurlington tracks south or Ashland. Bids are to be received the same day on thirty-nine other projects, the estimated total cost for them all being one and one-halm million dollars. They will Include the fol lowing work: Twenty-one miles of paving. 12S miles of grading. 140 miles of gravel surfacing, seven miles of oil and sand mixture. l.r0 miles of gravel maintenance, and twenty nine bridges, besides several guard rail installations. Between Western and Wilber will be completed 10.7 miles of gravel, giving the former town an all weather outlet. This does not com pletely close the gap between the two cities, but allows Western resi dents to get onto a surfaced road. The other paving projects are all short ones, mostly in low places where the road during wet weather is cronically bad. Nearly six miles of gravel will be laid between Anselmo and Vic toria Springs state park, giving a surfaced road from the town to the park. There already Is gravel be tween the park and Mcrna. and. during bad weather, the roundabout way may be used between, the two towns.

COURT ENTRY IS DELAYED Washington Associate Justice Owen J. Roberts decided Thursday that he would not take the oath of office and go on the bench of the supreme court until June 2. He came to Washington for a conference with Chief Justice Hughes, concerning plans for going on the bench. He decided that, as he could not assist the court in any of its work before the end of its present term on June 2, he would postpone assumption of his duties until then. The court is now working on opinions In cases which have been argued at the pres ent term and this must be done by the justices who sat while the cases were being heard. McBride Denies that Home Brew is Sanctioned Dry Chief Admits, However, That Organization Will Support Fort ir. New Jersey B,ace Washington Notice was given Wednesday by F. Scott McUrlde. gen eral superintendent of the Anti-Salon league, that if any wets believed they were going to get home brew from his organization they were doomed to disappointment. This statoiru'iit was made by Mc Pride before the renate lobby com mittee, which .is investigating his prohibition activities. It resulted from questioning by Chairman Cara way of the committee, concernin? the league's attitude toward Repre sentative Fort of New Jersey, a can didate for the republican senatorial nomination. Explaining that the New Jersey league had endorsed Fort's candi dacy and that the national league would follow suit, McBride asserted that Fort had not said in a recent speech in the house of representatives that home brew could be legally manufactured. Copy of Speech Obtained. Senator Caraway quickly obtained a copy of Fort's speech, which had jbten widely interpreted as express ir.g the opinion that home brew could j be manufactured legally and read a 'portion of it. lie quoted Fort as say I ing in part: "Perhaps the act needs clarifica tion on the question of home brew altho nobody has ever beeu convicted for making it for home use. But, otherwise, it Feeni3 to me pretty clarly to fulfill the purposes of its adoption and . to satisfy the real withes of the American people for the preservation of their industrial I system, their prosperity, and their homes. ; Comment! ngi on the speech. Car away said, Frallingly: "He says nobody has ever been convicted for home brew, and they ought to be content, if they want heer, with what they make if they were not too laxy to make it." JIcBridc Explains Soeech. "I will tell you what I think he iustressing in this speech." McBride (replied. "There is a good thought in it. That is. as we are fighting this thru, that we should probably stress the sale of lienor rather than some of the other filings. That was just ius thought. There are quite a num ber of people who feel that way about it." The question started when Car away asked if the league would sup port Fort. "I understand the state league has ;;o declared." McBride replied. And the national league says Amen to that.", asked Caraway. "We will sav Amen," McBride re sponded. "So then you endorse the manu facture and use of home brew," de- manded Senator Blaine, the only wet on the committee. "No." McBride retorted. "Neither did Mr. Fort in his speech before consrress." "Well I suppose you will fight that out with Mr. Morrow?" Blaine ask ed. I "Score Card" Not Approved Dwight W. Morrow, American ara- I bassador to Mexico, also is a candi I date for the republican senatorial t nomination from New Jersey. "No. we won't Csrht that out," Mc- i Bride said. He added that he had read Fort's speech twice sir.ee testifying con- icerning it recent lv before the lobby committee ar.d could not nnd one line in it that authorized home brew er recommended it." "I am sorrv ." he continued, "if ray of the wets get the idea that they were going to get home brew from the Anti-Saloon league and are aow disappointed. And they certain ly will be disappointed. w,?re not for it and never were for it." McBride also testified that he did not approve a "score card" prepared by the South Dakota league for grad ing the qualifications of candidates for public ctSce. He w-as questioned Tuesday by Blaine about the card and they quarreled ever the senator's method cf questioning. State Jour nal. TWO BUILDINGS BURN IN FISEWOSKS BLAST Thompsonville. Conn.. May 22.

Rivers Bill Reported Favor ably to Senate "Earliest Possible Consideration" Is Aslced by Johnson Total of $120,000,000 Washington, D. C. May 22. With a call for "the earliest possible con sideration." Chairman Johnson of the senate commerce committee to day reported favorably to the senate the house livers and harbors Lill au thorizing vast waterway develop ments throughout the country. Johnson estimated that the total expenditures contemplated by the measure as it now stands would be about 120 million dollars. Senator Vandenberg (rep., Mich.), chief opponent of the bill, contends it would authorize a total of more than 300 million dollars expenditure. His estimate, however, included a 75 million dollar item on which only five million dollars would be re leased. Upper Mississippi Project. l no as million dollar project is a nine-foot channel in the upper Mississippi river. The 75 million dollar project is for a channel of the same depth for the Tennessee river, from its mouth to Knoxville. The senate committee substituted tha five million dollar authorization for one of throe million dollars in the house bill. Federal operation of the Erie and the Oswego canals in New York state, and of the Illinois state waterway would be approved by the bill. The New York provision would authorize the federal government to accept the waterways from the state, and oper ate them for barges only, at an esti mated cost of $2,500,000 a year. AVithout specific limitation of di version of water from Lake Mich igan into the Illinois waterway, the bill provides federal operation with as little diversion as possible. It pro vides that the project be operated in conformity with an engineer's report, which estimated that the channel from the lake to the Mississippi river might be maintained with one thou sand cubic feet per second diversion. $25,000,000 for Missouri. The senate committee authorized expenditure of 15 million dollars for improvement of the upper Missouri river channel, in addition to unex pended funds totaling about 10 mil lion dollars remaining from an exist ing project. The committee slashed local con tributions required by the house for completion of the Lake Okeechobee, Florida, flood control project, from $4,500,000 to two million dollars and added an authorization of one. mil lion dollars to a house figure of $3, 500.000 for .improveaient. ,of the James river in Virginia. A house provision of 400 thousand dollars for New Bedford" harbor, Massachusetts, was increased by the senate committee to 718 thousand dollars for Brunswick harbor, Geor gia, was raised to $1,210,000.

Beasley' grandfather had been a poor man instead of a wealthy southern plant er, James E. would still be happily wed instead of seeking a divorce decree, he believes. In a counter peti tion to his wife's suit, Beasley, sixty six. Tuesday filed for divorce him self. The will that he blames for the unhappy ending to hi3 married life after forty-four years was made by Tom Beasley, sr... in Patrick county Virginia, now West Virginia, before the Civil war. Two hundred forty acres of land several slaves, several barrels of "corn" and $7,000 were willed to Tom Beasley, Jr., father of James E., but the Junior BeaBley enlisted In an Illinois regiment and never returned to claim his share of the estate. Three years ago, James E. and his wife started for West Virginia to In vestigate the will. "But in Illinois." Beasley said, "several of my wife's relatives In sisted on coming along. I wouldn't stand for it and when they tiled to 'horn in' my wife and I began to fight. His wife left him thrcf months ago. he said, going to TIMen and filing for divorce. She is sixty-four, STAET E00SEVELT FIGHT Washington Republican leaders have started a drive to topple Frank lin D. Roosevelt, democratic gover nor of New York, from the keystone position he occupies in his own party. The increasing mention of Roose velt as a possible candidate for the presidency in 1932 evidently has de termined republican leaders to stop him. It was indicated Tuesday they hoped to do this by defeating him In the coming New York gubernatorial contest. William H. Hill, who managed the Koover pre-election campaign in New York, was called to Washington to discuss the New York political situ ation with the president. William J. Maier. chairman of the New York republican committee, came to Wash ington for a similar purpose, and the two, with Representative Ruth Pratt, republican. New York, spent an hour with the president late yesterday.

Washington, May 21. Nearing a final agreement, the conferees on the tariff bill Wednesday agreed to throw out the senate's export debenture amendment, which is opposed by President Hoover and the house. Making further concessions to the house, the senate conferees agreed to eliminate the senate's duty of 30 cents an ounce on silver and the amendment permitting free entry of cement for state and municipal pub lic works, leaving stand a rate of 6 cents a hundred pounds on all ce ment. The house managers receded, how ever, and allowed a rate of SI per 1,000 board feet to he placed on fir, spruce, pine, hemlock and larch lum ber despite defeat recently on the house floor of a levy of 75 cents on these softwoods. The senate bill car ried a rate of $1.50 per 1,000 feet. Eeject Part. The house group would not accept that part of the senate's lumber amendment applying the duty to rail road ties and telephone and telegraph poles of all kinds of wood and this section was eliminated. Wednesday's work of the confer ence committee left only a compro mise on the flexible clause and some minor administrative provisions 'standing In the way of a complete agreement and report of the measure to the senate. President Hoover was consulted on the flexible section during the day by Senator Watson and Chairman Hawley of the house ways and means committee, both conferees on the bill The president was represented by his callers as being ready to surren der some of the power now vested in him to change customs duties after tariff commission investigation. Expect Result. The conferees will reach the con troverted flexible section tomorrow and hope to reach some kind of com promise between existing law and the house provision. The latter broadens existing presidential au thority by authorizing him to make rate increases or decreases based on differences in competitive conditions. The elimination of the debenture provision had been expected since Monday's vote of the senate to free Its conferees from pledges bindint them to the farm bounty proposal Should a flexible provision curtailing some of the president's power be agreed upon. Republican leaders see little difficulty in the way of final pansago. Senator Smoot (R.), Utah, chair man of tho senate conference com mittee, said it was not likely that iho report could be made to the sen- nlo beforo next week. Omaha Bee- News.
