INFANTRY CHIEF
TO VISIT OMAHA
Washington, July 1. Plans to ad
journ congress this week blew up
Tuesday when the eenate adopted
the "Walsh-Connally amendment to
the world war veterans pension bill.
Riding in defiance of President
Hoover, the senate then quickly pass
ed the bill with the amendment.
It was declared passed by Vice
President Curtis without a record
vote. Demand was made for a roll
call. The result showed a 56 to 11
vote for the measure.
The senate's action tied up the ad
journment program in a tangled knot.
For the amendment nearly doubles
the cost of the pension bill as passed
by the house.
Amendment Veto Sure.
A vote of 37 to 26 nut through
the amendment, nine republicans and
one farmer-laborite joining the
democrats in a coalition which beat
the administration forces.
President Hoover, it has been
made clear, will veto the bill as
framed by the senate unless the
Walsh-Connally amendment with
its high rates is stricken out in
conference.
Veterans bureau experts have esti
mated that the bill with the amend
ment voted Tuesday will take $160,
000,000 from the treasury instead cf
the $80,000,000 estimated for the
house bill.
The house has served notice that it
will refuse to adjourn until a world
war veterans bill acceptable to the
president has been passed and enact
ed into law.
To agree to the senate bill would
only result in the measure going to
the White House and meeting an
other presidential veto. That veto
likely would be sustained by the
house and the task of framing an
other bill would still confront the
house and senate.
For this reason the senate bill with
its high rates is sure to be rejected
by the house conferees and a dead
lock may result.
Norris in Finish Fight.
Meanwhile Senator Norris (R.) of
Nebraska, served notice that congress
would stay in session all summer if
necessary to wind up its work.
Norris wants a finish fight with
the house on his Muscle Shoals bill.
Washington, July 1. Maj. Gen.
Stephen O. Fuqua, chief of infantry,
Tuesday announced his intention or
leaving Washington on July 7 for an
extensive tour of the west and north
west to observe infantry activities.
Fuqua will visit Fort Snelling at
Minneapolis on July 9; Fort Lincoln
at Bismarck, N. D., July 10; Fort
Missoula at Missoula, Mona., July 12,
and Fort George Wright at Spokane,
Wash., on the 14th.
The general will proceed to Fort
Omaha, at Omaha, on Aug. 6, and
wind up his tour at Fort Crook, also
at Omaha, on Aug. 7.

Files Action Against W. E. Newkirk
and W. M. Rouse of Charge of
Damaging Reputation
After several days of calm, the
controversy existing at Greenwood
between Marshall George H. Trun
kenboltz and a number of the resi
dents of that place, flared forth again
when Mr. Trunkenboltz filed a dam
age suit for $5,000 against William
K. Kewkirk and William M. Rouse.
It is alleged in the petition of the
plaintiff that on June 14, 1930. Wil
liam K. Newkirk was not a justice
of the peace in and for Greenwood
and Cass county, that he had usurped
the office of justice of the peace, that
the defendants Newkirk and Rouse
conspired to cause the filing of the
charge of assault against the plaintiff
Trunkenboltz.
It is further claimed that the de
fendants caused a warrant to be is
sued for Trunkenboltz, that the sher
iff of Cass county was requested to
serve the warrant on the plaintiff
and that he was compelled to put
up a bond for his appearance to ans
wer to the charge as made against
him on the complaint of Rouse and
the warrant issued by the defendant
Newkirk.
That by reason of this charge and
the arrest, it is alleged that Mr.
Trunkenboltz has suffered damage to
his reputation in the community in
which he had heretofore a good re
putation and which in injured by
the allegation of a felony. That the
charges have humiliated the plaintiff
and the members of his family and
for this he asks that a judgment in
the sum of $5,000 be awarded him
against the defendants, Newkirk and
Rouse.
Attorney A. L. Tidd of this city
appears in the case as counsel for
Mr. Trunkenboltz and filed the case
for his client today.
THE FARM ROAD SITUATION
Of the 6,250,000 farm owners in
the United States, 1,988,704 are serv
ed by roads which have been improv
ed to some degree, according to the
American Farm Bureau. Over 2,747,
700 live on roads which are practi
cally unimproved and are usually im
passable during many months of the
year. One million have gravel roads.
Less than 500,000 American farmers
are assured of all-year highways.
Here is the problem that must be
adequately met and solved by every
state if agriculture is to progress and
prosper to the fullest degree. At the
end of 1928, there were more miles
of unsurfaced roads in the United
States than in 1914, and most of
these served farming areas.
Most of us, thinking of the fine
highways that stretch between the
sizeable cities of the United States,
are under the impression that we
have a complete nation-wide system
of improved roads. What we do not
see are the thousands upon thousands
of miles of dirt and mud upon which
millions of farmers must rely.
Those who have made thorough
studies of the farm situation and the
need for relief, are almost unani
mously of the opinion that one of the
pre-eminent factors in any perman
ent and practical program must be
the construction, on a large scale, of
economically paved, all-weather,
year-round, farmer-to-maiket roads.
"LOST ZEPPELIN" SHOWS
BYRD PARTY PERIL
The peril of Commander Byrd and
his party in the South Polar regions
i3 strikingly illustrated in "The Lost
Zeppelin," Tiffany's great all-talking
special, filled with thrills, and ad
venture and romance which is com
ing to the Ritz theatre Sunday and
Monday, July 6th and 7th. Conway
Tearle, Virginia Valli and Ricardo
Cortez are featured in this produc
tion. "The Lost Zeppelin" deals with a
huge dirigible which gets to the
antarctic regions and is wrecked in
a blizzard. All of those in the party
but two perish. The picture shows
the appearance of "Little America,"
as Byrd has named the antarctic con
tinent, and of the grim battle with
the elements there. Through the
amazing adventures runs a powerful
love story in which the wife of the
Zeppelin commander figures. She be
lieves she is in love with her hus
band's aide on the exploration trip.
The husband learns of this and, when
an aeroplane comes to the rescue, but
is able to carry away only one pas
senger, he insists that his aide make
the trip back to civilization. The
ending of the story is a decided surprise.
ANNOUNCEMENT
To the voters cf Cass county I
wish to announce that I will be a
candidate for the nomination for
sheriff at the primary election on
August 12th, subject to the wishes
of the republican voters. I will, if
nominated and elected, strive to give
the people of Cass county fair and
impartial law enforcement. The sup
port of the voters will be appre
ciated. E. P. STEWART.
Mrs. Katie Hild was a visitor in
Omaha today, going to that city on

Mynard Club
Enjoys a Very
Fine Meeting
Members of Community Organization
Stage a Fine Prcgram at
June Meeting
The June meeting of the Mynard
Community Club was held in their
hall on Friday evening, the 27th.
As usual, the singing of familiar
songs by the audience opened the
meeting. A new stunt was intro
duced by having one half of the peo
ple sing "There's a Long, Long
Trail," led by the song leader, Mrs.
C. C. Barnard, while the other half
sang, "Keep the Home Fires Burn
ing" with Mrs. R. O. Cole, the pian
ist, as leader. This stunt created
some laughter especially when one
side forged ahead of the other. How
ever the second attempt was a suc
cess. After a short business session in
which it was decided that the com
munity picnic would be held this
summer and committees were ap
pointed by the president, C. L. Wiles,
a very good program was presented.
This program was intended for the
May meeting but because of rain,
was postponed and some of the peo
ple who were to have taken a part
could not be present. The commun
ity of Murray contributed some very
good numbers by some of its resi
dents. Miss Evelyn Mead, accom
panied by Mrs. Roy Cole, sang some
of the popular songs of today very
sweetly. Mrs. Vance Pitman and
Mrs. Brubacher sang . "Sweet and
Low" and "Stars of the Summer
Night," and Mrs. Pitman also sang
a duet "O Tell Us Merry Birds," with
Mrs. Wm. Sfyboldt, Mrs. Pitman
singing the alto part in the first
duet and the soprano in the second
one, Miss Thelma Pitman wa? the
accofpanist. Mrs. George Mumm
gave a couple of lively piano solos
which the audience enjoyed very
much. Several humorous "German"
readings by Mrs. Kaffenberger were
also received enthusiastically. A
quartet composed of Hilda Friedrieh,
Selma Kraeger, Arthur Hild and
Glen Kraeger, sang "Juanita" and
"When Peace Like a River." These
young folks have very good voices
which blended harmoniously. Their
accompanist was Miss Katherine
Hild. Two piano solos played ny
Mrs. Arthur Troop were beautiful
and brilliant. They were "Salute to
Perth" and "Sparklets."
The meeting closed with a short
talk by the president about the pic
nic. Every one who wishes to go
is welcome. Let lis all go and en
joy a happy day, visiting and listen
ing to the program which will be pre-
apred by the two program commit
tees.
