Neligh Healer Quits the State After Dispute Rrnthers Assert Will Remain- Preacher Says All Ousted Stories Diverce Kelieh. Neb.. June 23. J. Jerry Philben. barber who has come into some considerable notoriety by rea- Enn nf nativities here, has left Ne- lisrh with the intention of henceforth rem.iinin? entirely outside of Ne braska, according to Frank Philben, one of his three brothers who has been continuing activities of the group here. He is now traveling somewhere in Arizona or California. Frank said. He is reported to have sold his pro perty here. The Philbens have been known as members of the Essene brotherhood, frmnrtpd here two vears ago by J. W. Johnson. They had been cleared of a state accusation of practicing medicine without a license, when it was shown that they did not diagnose cases, use instruments, or prescribe for patients. Connection with the Es sene group followed. But now the Essene brotherhood, according to Johnson, its founder, has voted to oust all four of the Philbens from membership. Frank Philben denies this, how ever, saying that the action applies only to Perry, difficulties of the others having been cleared up. Frank Philben asserted that the other three brothers, Frank, Noah, and Mike, will continue their activi ties as at present, saying that Perry and Mr. Johnson had a "setto' fol lowing a change in officers of the Es sene brotnernooci. He said that Mike and Mr. John son naa preacneu togetner at one time. Johnson, meanwhile, said that the Philbens had been using their Es ene connection merely "to avoid state rules on healing." He denied that any reconcilliation with Frank, Noah and Mike Philben had been made, but admitted tonight that ho was expecting overtures from them. He said that they had caused him considerable trouble in his work as an evangelist, after he had conducted religious services in the auditorium of the building recently taken over by the Philbens, and that they had sought control of the brotherhood. Frank Philben said that his bro ther Mike, and two nephews are at present in northeastern Nebraska on a traveling campaign. GRAIN VALUES MOVE LOW Chicago Grain and livestock values dwindled away Monday to new bargain levels in the general market depression, and for a time wheat fu tures were selling for less than a dol lar a bushel on every North American exchange. Late in the day a stock market revival gave the impetus to lift wheat to the level of Saturday's finish and a close near the top of the lay, ranging from a loss of 1-2 cent to 7-S cent advance. But the first hour of the session had seen wheat futures submerged for the first time in seven days to depths unreached since 1914. July delivery crashed to 89 bushel. Just 8 1-2 cents the top prices of June, tember broke to 92 3-4c 1-2 cents a better than 1914. Sep and Decem- ber to 97 l-2c. Wheat closed at 92 (a! 92 l-2c for July; September, 95 l-2ij95 5-Sc, and December, $1.00 1-2 1.00 3-4. Lovestcok values tumbled, too, hogh dropping 25c to 35c to average around -9.20, comparable to last No vember's quotations. Cattle prices es tablished a new low for the year. FLAYS DOUBLE PUNISHMENT Omaha Declaring from the bench that there is too much "double pun ishment" in the courts at the present time, Federal Judge Woodrough Monday denounced the practice of state and federal prosecutors sepa rately trying and sentencing accused persons, on charges arising from a single offense. After expressing his disapproval of the practice, Judge Woodrough levied the minimum fines of $1 against three men who are serving time in the Ne braska prison on auto theft charges, and who had been brought before him on Dyer act complaints charging tak ing stolen cars from one state to an other. Warden Fenton had brought the trio to Omaha on habeas corpus pro ceedings instituted by the district at torney's office. The proceeding was for the purpose of clearing the men's records, as state prisoners are allow ed no time off for good behavior, onr any other privileges, as long as an other indictment or charge is pend ing against them. The three state prisoners were Harold Kirkpatrick, George Foster and James Darling.

SPANISH EXILE KAY RETURN Madrid Spanish politics reached a new and promising stage Monday with the approval by liberals gener ally and many others of the meeting in Paris between King Alfonso unci Santiago Alba, liberal exponent, exil ed since early in the Primo de Riv ero dictatorship. The duke of Alba, minister of foreign affairs, no kins man of Santiago Alba, pronounced the meeting an "important advance toward untangling some of Spain's political perplexities." The duke said : "I am much pleased wih the re sults of the king's conversation with Santiago Alba. It is a Ions step to wn d consolidation of important political factions for the good of Spiin and the monarchy. The k.i.g exercised his legitimate rights in con- feriirg with Santiago Alba on poli tical questions. Everybody knows that Santiago Alba inclines more to the left than right, but the present f.oernment of Spain encouragss free an 1 liberal thinking by all persons. By securing enough viewpoints the correct solution of any pmlleM can be reached." AIRPORT GIVEN OFFICIAL 0. K. Lincoln, June 23. Four thousand persons weathered wind, dust and heat Sunday to witness the dedica tion of Lincoln's municipal airport. Army and navy representatives, American Legion officers and city oEicials participated. Col. George Vidmer of the Seventh corps area headquarters at Omaha delivered the address of the day. Lincoln aviators took more than their fdiare of the prize money of fered in various event. Milton Scholtz was first in three races. Faye Lucille Cox, 19-year-old Texas girl who aspires to the woman's para chute jumping championship, gar nered honors for jumping and alight ing nearest a designated spot.

The municipal field northwest of Lincoln 011 the S. Y. A. highway is an air snail port.

FIREPROOF WOOD IS SHOWN New York A safety wood which exhales its own fire extinguisher was exhibited here Monday by Prof. Al bin II. Beyer of the Columbia uni versity testing laboratories. A two inch thick door of the wood held back smoke and flames six times as long as did a metal covered door. The protective moisture is a great chem ical preparation, Dr. Besrer explained, which is produced right on the skin of the wood. It is like glue and is made by the touch of the flames com bining with chemical soaked into the wood. The wet skin retards fire, which, however, eats it off slowly, leaving a charred black film. As soon as this top skin is eaten thru, a new layer forms underneath because the chem icals impregnate the good completely. Only the topmost layer of molecules, said Professor Beyer, are affected at any one moment. They explode at touch of flames, throwing out tiny sprays.

Fucera. 41. tivin, la., a little crossroads com munity not on a railroad, Tuesday was appointed bishop of Lincoln, Neb., by Pope Pius. The appointment came as a sur prise. Father Kucera has been at the village parish for five years, and prior to that time wa3 for 10 years dean of St. Joseph hall, Columbia college, at Dubuque. He is not widely known. The reason behind the appoint ment was seen in Father Kucera's activity in the Convention of Cath olic Workmen, a Bohemian Catholic fraternal organizations. Many Bohemians. It is estimated that half the Cath olic population of the Lincoln diocese, taking in all of Nebraska south of the Platte, belong to Bohemian par ishes. The new bishop's attention will be directed to strengthening and cementing these parishes, it is be lieved. Selection of a priest from the im mediate neighborhood of Dubuque to be Lincoln bishp was logical, Omaha priests said, because Bishop Francis Beckman recently went from Lincoln to Dubuque to become archbishop. In Protovin, Father Kucera has had 3f0 Catholic families in his par ish. The town proper, however, has only 277 population, but was one of the few small places in Iowa show ing an increase in population in the decade. It had 201 population in 1920. In Northeast Iowa. Prtivin is in the southeast corner of Howard county, in extreme north eastern Iowa. Father Kucera, visiting another priest at Monona, la., said he was himself greatly surprised by the ap pointment. The Rev. Edward J. Chapuran. pas tor of St. Wenceslaus church in Oma ha, said he knew the new bishop quite well. Father Kucera visited last in Omaha four years ago. Father Kucera was very active in the convention of Catholic Workmen held at Cedar Rapids, la., in May, according to Father Chapuran. Ordained in St. Paul. Rev. Kucera was born Aug. 24. 18SS, at Montgomery, Minn. He was ordained at the age of 27 in St. Paul, .Minn., and spent his first year as an assistant priest at Tama, la. Two of his brothers. Paul and Stephen, are priests, and throe sisters are nuns. lie attended St. John college- at Collegeville. Minn., St. Thomas uni versity at St. Paul, and St. Paul seminary. DR.
