FEAB DB0UTH
Meteorologists of the United
States weather bureau at Washing
ton admitted Monday they were fear
ful another drouth may be in store
for the coming summer.
If a drouth comes, they said, it is
likely to hit hardest in sections rela
tively untouched hy the record-breaking
dry spell of last year.
The worst conditions, according to
Dr. J. H. Kinger. agricultural meteor
ologist, are in the upper Mississippi
valley, including parts of Iowa and
the spring wheat area.
Although Nebraska had the dryest
winter in its history for the three
"winter" months of December, Jan
uary and February, this state is in
pretty god shape, according to Me
teorologist M. V. Robins at Omaha.
This is because in November west
ern Nebraska, including all the win
ter wheat belt, got just about the
heaviest snow in its history, coining
clear up to the roofs in many places
and in March the state was pretty
well blanketed with one snowfall
Which was as much or more than the
entire fall for the three "winter"
months.
Omaha's moisture for the three
winter months was .57 of an inch
and the March measurement has been
.58 of an inch already.
The only states with normal rain
fall this winter, east of the Rockies,
were in Florida, Oklahoma and
Texas.
The winter has been the dryest on
record in Indiana, Illinois. Michigan,
Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota, Mon
tana, Wyoming and Alabama, as well
as Nebraska.
It was the dryest in 30 years in
New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl
vania. Maryland, West Virginia, Ken
tucky and South Dakota. Virginia
was the dryest in 30 years with the
exception of last winter.
The drouth has been releieved but
not broken in a large area in the
eastern United States. There must
be much rain to restore normal con
ditions in streams and wells.
Recent western storms gave some
uupe mat tue stagnation or air cur
rents which brought on the drouth
over the United States last summer
had ben broken.
There is no assurance, however,
weather bureau officials say, of what
may happen.
Developing airplanes that will have
a low landing speed is worthwhile.
And can't something similar be done
for human beings who slip or stub
their toes?

Primary Bill
is Sidetracked
by the House
Befuses to Accept the Measure
Changing Date as Cure for
Filing Evils.
Lincoln, March 16. A proposal to
revise Nebraska's primary election
system by advancing state political
party conventions to five weeks ahead
of the primary instead of after it,
went into the legislative discard in
the house of representatives Mon
day. Though conceding that the dual
Norris filings In the United States
senatorial contest last year illus
trated the need of changes in the
primary system, house members voted
56 to 30 to postpone the measure,
unwilling to accept this proposal as
a possible cure.
Republican house leaders were in

visions as "absurd."
As returned to the house floor
from committee, where it was sent
to have several objectional features
removed, the measure. H. R. 382, con
tained only the provision for moving
up the state and county conventions,
permitting the drafting of party
platforms prior to the primary Instead
of after it. Furthermore the bill
contained specific provisions present
ing the conventions from endorsing
or opposing candidates or those who
might be candidates in the primary
or general election.
Representative Ohed Raasch (R.)
of Norfolk, a progressive, denounced
tho measure and offered a motion
for its postponement. He charged
that the bill was devised by slandpat
republbans to eliminate Senator
George W. Norris and Attorney Gen-!
cral C. A. Sorensen from the party s
ranks.
"And if I'm not mistaken,"
Raasch continued, "this bill was
engineered by Secretary of State
Frank Marsh who recently call
de a meeting of republicans to
incorporate them, and to cut
Norris and SorenBen out."
Reece vigorously denied the influ
ence, declaring it was his bill.
A number of republicans identi
fied as both progressives and regu
lars, voted with the democrats in
smothering the measure.

from O. A. Leach, president of the
Citizens' National bank, Wapheton,
on May 21, last, after threatening
the life of Mrs. Leach if the hanker
did not produce the money. Discov
ery of the $23,000 payment is said to

Add Drinkirg Amendment to Bill;
!l :t Over Licensing of Fun
eral Directors.
Lincoln, March 17. By a largo
ima-v-iin, the Nebraska senrte went
on record Tuesday afternori tavor-
ine a bill prohibiting smolcl t on
tfcc
grrunds or in tho building , of :'c
states university, state normal schools
fir any public schools.
After spending nearly a half day
considering the measure, it was ad
vanced to third reading by a vote of
23 to 9. A motion to postpone lost by
a topheavy vote.
Kxcept for an amendment lacked
on the bill by Senator J. E. Axtell
(R.) of Fairbury, applying th -ame
rule to drinking, the measu o was
not revamped at the hands of pper
house members. It was ir.t: !uced
! by Senator C. W. Johnson (R
Potter, who upheld the theory that
jthe university should take a ha 1 in
the use or tobacco on the campu .
Once destined for indefinite :st
ponement through a committee re-
! commendation, the Johnson measure
was saved from the pigeonhole by a
117 to 16 vote.
One of the strong objections
brought out in discussion Tuesday
(concerning enforcement of the law
daring the football season when thou-
sands of persons go to Memorial
stadium here for games. No sugges
tion was made as to how the law
would be enforced in this connection.
An attempt by Senator Rolla Van
Kirk (R.) of Lincoln to amend the
bill to restrict its provisions to per
sons connected with the institutions,
was voted down. The bill now goes
to the house for its consideration.
The house Tuesday advanced to
third reading II. R. 475, providing
for licensing of funeral directors and
prohibiting the solicitation of busi-
! ness under ; burial plan.
Withdrawing as a sponsor of tho:
bill, Representative W. H. O'Gara
l(D.), Laurel, charged it related
'solelv to a "price war in Omaha and
Lincoln."
"If you want to put funeral
assoc iations out of bnsinef-s," he
declared, "this bill will do It!"
The associations. O'Gara added,
have cut burial cost one-third.
R. E. Emerson ( R. ), Lexington,
denied this charge, asserting " it is
not a trust bill."
"They come down here every
two years," he charged, 'and
when these laws are changed the
cost of dying jumps up about
$200."
The senate advanced H. R. 158,
requiring truck drivers transporting
j livestock to carry permits attesting
'to the ownership of the stock, and
IS. V. 94, by Rodman and Randall.
'permitting the Omaha board of edu
cation to expend $100,000 without
a vote cf the people.
Vote Junior Colleges.

in the ice and more than a score un
accounted for was reconstructed
late tonight.
The steamer Beothie reported
sighting five men on an Ice floe and
five In ti dory. The Beothlic feared it
would be una hie to reach them be

All Are Iniured.
Kennedy was burned about the
face, and suffered from scalp wounds
I which were not regarded as serious.
Sargent had .n eye hurt in the ex
plosion on tl-e ship, but was not in
serious condition. King ha a frac
tured leg, with bith feet frozen, and
is suffering from shock.
The three men were located on a

Three other, the ship's first officer.
Us second officer, tnd one sannr were
found on the ice near the site of the
disaster. The sailor had both legs
hroken. None of the group had had
any food or water since they were
stranded.
The exact number of missing was
clouded in doubt. Allowing for the
10 sighted by the Beothie, govern
ment figures listed 34 as unaccount
ed for.
Flight Is Precarious.
The- frtlght of the survivors, wb.
reached here after a hazardous eight
mile Ice trek from the scene of the
Viking explosion, still wr.s precar
ious. None of the rescue ships had
been able to make a contact with
Horse island to deliver badly needed
fod and medical Ftippl!es. The!
landing had been awaited for several
hours.
The lights of one res ue vessel,
presumably the Foundation Prank
llin, were visible from here, hut it was
believed a boat could not be landed
; unt il daybreak.
The survivors here, many of them
i seriously injured, have settled down
to another night of waiting for the
I food and medical supplies dispatched
'from St. Johns j-esterd;;y.

(ashore late tonight after two nights
spent on the ice. He was Richard

Lists of the saveil officers and
crewmen were issued early tonight
This check-up enabled the Viking's
(officers to definitely list the number
of missing, although it remained un
known to them whether these could
I yet be classified as dead.
Sargent said he w::s "practically
'well" tonight, but exhausted. The
j explorer-actor, 42, and of strong phy
sique, stood the ordeal well. Sargent
I had been 44 hours stranded on the
wreckage and drifted 15 miles.
The explosion is genrally believed
to have resulted from too great a
head of steam, put on in an effort
to drive the 50-year-old Viking
through the ice. The engine en sr.
one wireless operator, the boatswain,
the steward and the cook are among
the missing. All of these, together
with the three Americans, are be
lieved to have been aft when the ex
plosion occurred. World-Herald.
