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.
SUFFERS SEVERE INJURY
Floyd Fulton, one of the patrol
men for the county, suffered a severe
Injury Monday when he was struck
on the head by the crank of the
truck on which he was working.
Mr. Fulton was cranking the truck
when the crank flew from his hand
and struck him on the head. Inflict
ing a gash that required the services
of a surgeon to close and making a
very painful wound.

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. Bob
Myrick of Lincoln won the precision
landing event.
A gliding demonstration and
maneuvers by army and navy planes
were other features of the day.
The municipal field northwest of
Lincoln 011 the S. Y. A. highway is
an air snail port. Bought by the city
and fitted with night landing equip
ment, it was put into use a year ago
without formal dedication.
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.

WHEAT STALKS REACH 5 FEET
North Platte, June 24. B. J. At
kinson, resident living ' 20 miles
south of here, has brought to North'
Platte samples of wheat from his
320-acre farm.
The stalks were five feet long and
each head contained from 40 to 45
kernals.

Rural Priest
is New Bishop
for Lincoln
Pastor of Church in Town on Cross
roads Replaces Beckman as
Diocese Head.
The Rev. Louis B. 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
