Choice of a
Leader is Still
in the Balance
Pennsylvania G. 0. P. Delegation in
House Is Divided Between
Tilson and Snell
Washington The bitter discord
among republicans over the choice
of v. party leader in a probably dem
ocratic house was shown in the big
Pennsylvania delegation's failure to
agree on a speakership nominee. A
vote cf eighteen for Representative
Snell of New York and twelve for
Representative Tilson of Connecticut
at a conference behind closed doors
forecast a close battle between these
outstanding candidates at the repub
lican conference Monday.
While the contest that has waged
since the death of Nicholas I-ong-worth
last March is technically for
the speakership nomination, it is
actually for the minority leadership
in event the democratic majority or
ganizes the house. Longworth had
j been renominated speaker and Til
! son selected floor leader. The con
i ference Monday will decide whether
Tilson will remain floor leader if he
loses the nomination to Snell and
the democrats elect Representative
Garner of Texas speaker.
The democrats have 218, repub
licans 214, farmer-laborites 1, and
there are two vacancies. The repub
licans have little hope of keeping
control in face of the united front
the democrats are prepared to pre
sent. The Pen-nsylvania conference was
expected to have a big effect in the
nomination of a speaker. It has thirty-three
members and constitutes
the largest state group in the house.
Both Tilson and Snell hoped to swing
nearly all of the delegation

Chapel Thursday
at State Prison
Inmates Dedicate It with Show, Is Big
Event Today One of Finest
in the Country.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 26. Opening
of the new 40 thousand-dollar chapel
at the state pentientiary today over
shadows all other holiday "extras"
this Thanksgiving for the eight hun
dred inmates of the prison.
The "extras" consist of the usual
Thanksgiving menu with plenty of
trimmings and a holiday in the prison
shirt and furniture factories where
most of the men are employed.
Directed by inmates, written by
inmates, and with only inmates in
the cast, the two-act performance
given this morning for the men in
the prison and in the evening for
outsiders, is presented as a musical
comedy skit or variety show.
Louis W. Chobar, prison librarian
and former orchestra leader, is direc
tor and manager of the show. Roland
Crumbley is assistant director; Frank
Ketera, musical director, and Fran
cis South, director of the orchestra.
Libretto "patter" was written by
Chobar, Crumbley and William Ep
stein, the latter taking part in the
show and presenting a monologue in
the second act.
This is Chobar's first year in
charge of the shows, which for the
past four years have been directed
by Fred Burton, who serves as clerk
to Deputy Warden Cavanaugh.
Many prisoners have been kept
busy all this week getting the in
terior of the chapel ready for the
show. Stage equipment arrived only
Wednesday night and it was neces
sary to put a night crew to work in
order for the auditorium to be in
readiness Thanksgiving day.
Deuication of the chapel which
is reported to be as fine as in any
prison in the country will be held
a week from Sunday morning with
the principal address by L. Clark
Oberlies, former chairman of the
state board of control. Other features
of the dedicatory program have not
yet been announced by Warden Wil
liam T. Fenton.
A
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
The subject of the Christian Sci
ence lesson-sermon for Sunday, Nov.
29, "Ancient and Modern Necrom
ancy, alias Mesmerism and Hypno
tism, Denounced" afford3 an oppor
tunity to study the nature of a so
called evil mental power that has
ever deceived and plagued mankind.
A passage from the Christian Sci
ence text book describes the nature
of this mental claimant to power:
"As named In Christian Science, an
imal magnetism or hypnotism is the
specific term for' error 'or mortal
mind. It is the false belief that mind
is in matter, and is both good and
evil; that evil is as real as good and
more powerful." (Science and Health,
p. 103.) A passage reserved for him
who is undeceived by this false
claim: "Blessed is the man that en
dureth temptation; for when he is
tried, he shall receive the crown of
life, which the Lord hath promised
to them that love him." (James 1:
12.)
The subject for the lesson-sermon
for Dec. 6 is. "God the Only Cause
and Creator."

South Side Main Street
San Francisco, Cal., Nov. 27.
Mayor James Walker did not have
much time today to study the Thomas
Mooney case, his mission to Califor
nia. The mayorof New York, -.vho will
join in presenting the alleged parade
bomber's pardon petition to Gover
nor Kolph Tuesday, spoke b'ieily at
i wo luncheons, reviewed ant of the
ei'iek regiments of the Lulled States
irm and had tea with v. group of
army officers and their vivts.
Walker will go to San Quentin
prison tomorrow to visit Mooney,
convicted with Warren K. Billings of
the 1916 Preparedness day bombing
here. He said they would confer "as
lawyer and client."
Editorials Continue.
Newspaper editorial comment on
the mayor's presence in the state con
tinued today, one of the criticism and
one of praise in two San Francisco
papers. The first comment was made
at Sacramento, the capital, by a state
official, Holland Vandegritt, state di
rector of finance, explained that his
inteiesi in the case was that of a
private citizen. lie went all ihe way
back to the time of King Solomon
to get an apology.
"In Solomon's time," he said, "it
was said of iolitic; that if a ruler
were having; trouble at home he
should start a war abroad.
"It seems to me Mayor Walker has
enough trouble to take care of at
home without coming to interfere
in what appears to be purely a Cali
fornia matteri"
Ignored by Walker.
Walker continued to ignore ed
itorials dealing with his presence in
California and, outwardly at least,
seemed unperturbed by the several
newspaper expressions. lie declined
comment on any phase of the discus
sion revolving' about his visit.
The San Francisco Examiner to
day editorially characterized his trip
in behalf of Mooney as a "prophet
of self-promotion." and suggested "it
might be a good idea for the mayor
of New York to go home and make
a beginning at attending to his own
business."
The San Francisco News, taking
the other side, referring to a "spe
cial note of peevis'iness" displayed
by some newspapers in regard to the
mayor's visit, said that Walker was
rightfully getting the blame for "the
white light of publicity that now
comes flooding in on the Mooney
case." World-Herald.
Seeks Vote of
House on Prohi
bition Issue
Representative Snell's Plan Would
Eequire Vote When 145
Sign Petition
Washington, D. C, Nov. 27. Re
vision of house rules along lines that
may permit a vote on prohibition re
peal this session will be proposed to
members Monday by Representative
, Snell.
The New Yorker, candidate for the
speakership nomination, will suggest
the rules be liberalized to permit a
vote on legislation upon presentation
of a petition containing 145 signa
tures. At present 218 are required
The house west bloc, claiming 170
members, advocates ihn change. By
this means they hope a roll call von
on prohibition can be obtained so
candidates for congress in 1932 will
be on record.
Would Speed Laws.
The revision program is designed
to accelerate the legislative machin
ery to permit the house to act
promptly on major and minor pro
posals long pending in congress.
Snell, chairman of the last house
rules committee, was resignated at
the republican caucus last spring to
draft a rule liberalization program
The republican insurgents, partic
ularly those from the northwest
most of whom are antiprohibition
ists. have threatened to bolt the re
publican organization in event the
rules are not liberalized. They hope
thereby to bring before the house
much legislation sponsored by their
group.
Democrats Oppose.
Snell said "There is no question
whatever that there will be a change
in the house rules."
He said Representative Crisp of
Georgia was one of the leading dem
ocrats to sponsor a revision.
However, in other democratic
quarters there is considerable opposi
tion to the Snell proposal, particular
ly in view of the probability that
the party will organize the hcu.ie.-World-Herald.
WHO PAYS FOR FIRE?
MAY ELIMINATE TELEGRAPH
It has been rumored for several
days that the telegraph station will
be eliminated in Nehawka. Not only
the telegraph equipment, but the dis
patcher's telephone as well.
If this is done, it will make con
ditions very unfavorable for those
who are users of the telegraph, pas
senger and freight service.
It would mean that the depot agent
would have no more idea when a
train or bus was to arrive than any
one else. It would mean that a tele
gram could not be sent from Nehaw
ka. It would mean that if some
farmer wished to secure a car to ship
livestock, that a letter would have to
be mailed for a car and no assurance
would be given when to expect it.
In fact, it would mean many dis
advantages to the people of this com
munity. It might be well for the people of
Nehawka to look into the matter if
this service is to be continued. As
we have no commercial club or sim
ilar organization, individuals must
necessarily respond.
The railroad wishes to secure as
much business as possible, but if
their contemplated plan is carried
out it will be evident they are not
so anxious to give the best of serv
ice to its patrons Nehawka Enterprise.
PLEASANT RIDGE CLUB MEETS
The Pleasant Ridge Study club
met Nov. 25 at the home of Mrs.
Hugo Meisinger, with Mrs. Will Ren
ner and Mrs. J. C. Baumgart as hos
tesses. The lesson for this month was "En
joyment of Pictures" which the lead
ers presented to us in a very interest
ing manner.
At the close of the meeting the
time was spent in singing of the
memory song and other club songs.
At an appropriate hour dainty and
delicious refreshments were served.
We had one visitor present.
The next meeting will be held Dec.
15 at the home of Mrs. Norman,. Ken
ner, it will be an all day session.
You, the reader of this article, are
now paying for a fire!
This is a somewhat startling state
ment, inasmuch as the majority of
readers have not sustained fires on
their own property. Nevertheless,
they are paying for one whether it
be the conflagration that destroyed a
great factory, or the little blaze that
burned Jim Jones cottage.
Every fire means a loss to the com
munity and to every member of the
community. Fire insurance premiums
on all property pay all insured fire
losses, and premium cost rises or falls
in proportion to fire losses. In addi
tion. we pay for all fire losses, in
higher taxes caused by the destruc
tion of taxable property, by loss of
business, unemployment and in sim
ilar ways. This fire bill we are pay
ing comes to about half-a-billion dol
lars a year in direct loss. The indi
rect loss is said to be several times
as much.
Every time we read of a fire, we
should realize that it is going to cost
us something, individually. It won't
be much but a lot of fires makes an
impressive total. Perhaps this
thought may make us recognize the
duty the individual owes himself, his
family and his community to do
everything in his power to prevent
fire.

Japan's Promise
Not Adhered to
Stimson Fears
New Advance on Chinchow Direct
Opposite of Previous Pledge
America to Protest
Washington Hopes that Japan
intends to restore the captured prov
ince of Manchuria to Chinese sover
eighnity without long negotiations
diminished rapidly In Washington
Friday night as the Japanese invad
ers launched a new thrust at Chin
chow. The southward march ot the
Japanese legions violates directly an
unqualified assurance given the
American government by Tokyo only
three days ago. Japan Is moving 011
this last remaining Manchurian
stronghold fully aware that the de
velopment will be regarded he
casting serious doubt on the validity
of her repeated pledges against per-
mament aggression in Manchuria.
A swift American protest is ex
pected to go forward. Its exact form
lias not been determined and the ac
tion taken may be agreed upon be
forehand in conferences with the
League of Nations. Withdrawal of
diplomatic representation from Tokyo
has been suggested. Whatever steps
are decided upon probably will be
taken under the nine power treaty,
in which Japan specifically agreed
to respect the integrity of China.
Secretary Stimson revealed that
only three days ago both the civil.
and military authorities of Japan as
sured the United States in most di
rect terms that no advance on Chin
chow was contemplated. The assur
ance was in reply to an American
inquiry which expressed deep con
cern lest such a campaign might be
attempted.
The apprehensions of the Wash
ington government Friday rose to
a critical pitch of expectancy as .i
Japanese expedition, heavily equip
ped, moved toward Chinchow in dis
regard of American reprcsntat ions
and the Japanese pledge. State de
partment dispatches threw no light
on the situation.
Cause of American Concern.
The American concern arose from
two sources. It is feared, on the
one hand, that Japanese control of
Chinchow, a south Manchurian cross
road of communications, would be a
serious blow to any exercise of Chi
nese control over her wartorn prov
ince. Furthermore, a Japanese at
tack following closely on Tokyo's
promise of restraint, would go a long
way toward convincing the American
government that Japan meant to take
Manchuria completely, in violation of
all her International covenants.
This is not the first time Wash
ington has had reason to look ques
tioningly on Japanese activities since
the Manchurian advance began on
Sept. IS. From the beginning, Tokyo
has assured this government she
meant no aggression, and proposed
to make only advances necessary to
defend her interests. Vet one Man
churian city after another, snnif of
them hundreds of miles from the
Japanese railway zone, have fallen
under Japanese assaults. Every time
Japan has expressed regret, and said
it wouldn't happen again. At first,
officials were given the impression
that the military party, which is
not under complete control of the
civil government, simply had run
amuck. But the Japanese promise of
three days ago bore the explicit as
surances of both civil and military
authorities, and until Friday It had
been felt here that real progress was
being made toward peace. State
