the fellowship which the gathering
of thousands of Cass county people
caused.
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 ,

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.

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

"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.

Tariff Hearing
Final Accord
Tlirow Out Senate Debenture Flan;
Agree to 30 Cents an Ounce
as Duty on SHver.
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

him to change customs duties after

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.
