NO PUBLIC HEARING
PENROSE-LA FOLLETTE AMEND
MENT DEFEATED bV 5 VOTES.
THEY HAVE A WARM DEBATE
Senator James Comes to the Defense
of President Wilson’s Stand for
Free Sugar.
Washington, D. C.—By a vote of 36
to 41, the senate defeated the Pen
rose-La Follette amendment and
thereby refused to give open hearings
'to the industries affected by the Un
derwood tariff bill, notwithstanding it
was shown by senators that many
American interests had been refused
a hearing by the ways and means
committee of the house. The bill was
ordered to the finance committee for
its consideration.
Senator Clarence D. Clark of Wyo
ming, who is not given to “tearing a
passion to tatters,” broke his usual
reticence by an impassioned speech,
in which he predicted dire things to
the democratic party in putting the
Underwood bill through the senate
without proper consideration. He said
the Underwood bill was as much a
law as if the vote had been taken and
the president had attached,his signa
ture to the measure. '
“Many of you democrats are
ashamed of this bill for you know it's
wrong,’" said Senator Clark, “but you
are going to vote to railroad this bill
through because of a secret political
caucus.
“By your vote you are going to tell
the American people that a section of
the senate is eminently equipped with
ability to enact a tariff bill without so
much as a hearing from the manufac
! turers since the Underwood bill
passed the house.
“For you, oblivion in 1914, and la
I bor will smite you hip and thigh.
“Already the farmer, the stock rais
er and-diversified industry are tired
of your professions."
Two Democrats Break.
Two democrats. Senators IRansded
I and Thornton of Louisiana, voted for
the republican amendment. Senator
Poindexter of Washington, progress
ive, voted with the majority. Senator
Jones of Washington, republican, who
previously had determined to vote
against public hearings, announced
just before the roll call that he had
changed his mind because the finance
subcommittees were giving private
hearings to some interests which he
thought should be public.
The closing day of debate on the
hearings was enlivened with a discus
sion of the democratic platform and
its bearing on free sugar by Senator
James of Kentucky, who vigorously
defended the stand taken by President
Wilson for free sugar, declared that
the party had stood for free sugar and
campaigned on it and defied the Louis
iana senator to find a man President
Wilson had ever told he was opposed
to free sugar.
Seward Buries Her Dead.

gaged in extricating the network of
wires into something like order. Very
little has yet been accomplished in
cleaning up the debris, as the families

ing places.

crossed into Oregon county, hotly
pursued by the posse.
Page Sails for Europe.

a new ambassador to the court of St.
James, when Walter Hines Page sail
ed for his post in London.

secretary of state of Nebraska and a
veteran of the civil war, died in pov
erty here, a ward of the county. He

—

men's Christian temperance union of

PROSPECTS GOOD
"
SECETARY MELLOR FILES RE
PORT OF CROP CONDITIONS.
PLENTY OF RAIN IN APRIL
Facts and Figures Furnished From
Many Sources Make a Re
markable Showing.
Lincoln, Neb.—Prospects for a re
cord breaking crop from one end o£
the state to the other this year are
moat flattering, according to reports
received and compiled by Secretary
Mellor of the state board of agricul
ture.
The satisfactory condition appar
ently prevails over the state at large
and to a greater degree, for this sea
son of the year, than for many years
past. In gathering data for his report
the secretary of the agricultural board
had the benefit of the railroad reports,
the data furnished by county crop re
porters and the sectional reports sent
in by creamery and grain men over
the state. The state university like
wise contributed much information on
the subject. The consequent report
contains the following information
lor the people of the' state:
Details of Report.
“While the soil was dry at the be
ginning of spring work the recent
rains have thoroughly soaked the sub
soil, while the intermittent snowfall
cf March prevented injury from high
winds and dust storms
Wheat—For perhaps the first time
in many years Nebraska fanners were
surprised to see the fall whea<t cover
ing the ground on May 1. The pre
sent outlook for a record breaking
yield is most favorable. The gener
ous rain did not flood or do any dam
age, according to reports, even in the
bottom lands. During April there
were seme cold winds, but there was
r,o damage reported from freezing
and thawing, which occasionally prove
very trying to the young plants.
“Oats—Reports indicate that oats
are in excellent condition. Most of
the plantings are up, with a uniform
stand, in nearly all sections of the
state.
“Corn—Ninety per cent of the
ground is plowed and ready for plant
ing.
“Alfalfa—Never better. The recent
rains in all parts of the state, along
with the accompanying days of sun
shine. have spurred the growth of the
plants.
"Live Stock—Horses and cattle
came through the winter in excellent
Condition. Dairymen report ideal con
ditions.
“Fruit—According to reports re
ceived by Secretary C. G. Marshall of
the State Horticultural society an un
precedented fruit yield is expected.
The blossoms was never reported bet
ter at this season of the year. Every
tree and plant is loaded with blossoms.
Buds were in superb condition after
a mild winter. The orchards are re
markably free from disease and there
is an encouraging increase in the
amount of spraying in the orchards.
The frosts in April did no damage.
The peach trees are in excellent con
dition and a large yield is expected
in southeastern Nebraska.
«
Property Escheats to State.
Lincoln. Neb.—One hundred and
sixty acres of Keya Pasha county
land, a quarter section in Holt county,
a similar amount in Colorado and
some Auburn realty were turned over
to State Land Commissioner Beckmaa
for use cf the permanent school fund.
The step terminates the history of
property accumulations of Joseph Ul
rich, a Nemaha county bachelor miser
who died three veers ago without
heirs. The property escheats to the
state under an order of the court. A
man named Cahoe rented the Auburn
place after Ulrich's death and during
remodelling found several thousands
dollars in gold secreted in various hid
ing places. His own use of $1,000 of
this furnished a case for the courts
to settle. In the end it was decreed
that as trespass is one of the elements
cf larceny, he had not committed it
in this caso.
Cahoe is still living in the houre
and rentals for the intervening period
must be collected by the stale land
commissioner.
Legal Department Makes Ruling.
Lincoln, Neb.—According to an opin
ion rendered by Assistant Attorney
General Frank Edgerton, ammonia,
bicarbonate of soda, olive oil, cream
of tartar, pepper, flavoring extracts,
sal-soda, baking powders, dyestuffs
and sage may be sold without a drug
gist's license and not in violation of
the law.
The opinion came on account of a
letter cf inquiry frem the county at
torney cf Hall county.
Nearly Through With Task.
1 incoln.—Chief Clerk Henry C.
Richmond is checking out his office
rupplies to the secretary of state and
preparing to turn over everything by
the end of the week, when he expects |
that all work pertaining to getting cut j
the copy for the house journal will |
be finished and the copy in the hands j
of the printer.
He will maintain a desk in the pres- \
ent quarters for a time as the proofs j
will have to be read and the index
prepared for the journal. He expects
books by September 1.
Accused of Embezzlement.
Lincoln, Neb.—Robert S. Trumbull,
general manager of the Kearney
County Lumber company of Minden,
Neb., was arresetd on a charge of em
bezzlement and held by the sheriff
awaiting the coming of an officer from
Minden, from which place the warrant
was issued. ,
Tbe shortage, according to an ex
pert accountant who has been exam
inlng Trumbull's books, is between
$10,000 and $20,000. Trumbull is a
member of the council and school
board of Minden.

GOOD TIMES AWAIT EDITORS.
Omaha, Neb.—Luncheons, a banquet
and dance following, an automobile
ride, and a special initiation at Ak Sar
Ben, are some of the entertainment
features which arc being arranged
for the members of the Nebraska
Press Association on June 1 to 4.
Committees have been appointed by
the Bureau of Publicity, which will
have charge of the details of the en
tertainment.
One notable feature of this meeting
will occur on Sunday, the day before
its official convening, when about
forty of the visiting editors will oc
cupy the pupits of the various
churches of the city and will talk up
on the subject of what the press is
doing to raise the standard of morali
ty of Nebraska, and will give the
church-going folks of Omaha an idea
of what the country newspaper stands
for and how the country press is
daily and weekly influencing for the
better.
On Tuesday of convention week,
the members of the Association and
their wives will be the guests of the
Union Stock Yards company and the
business men of South Omaha at at
luncheon, which will precede the
afternoon meeting, which will be held
in the South Omaha metropolis. An
auto ride through South Omaha and
Omaha, the latter including a trip
through the tornado district will fol
low, after which the visitors will be
the guests of the daily newspapers at
a banquet and dance at one of the
country clubs.
If the members of the association
3o not have an enjoyable time it will
be because Omaha and her citizens
will be unable to provide it. Judge
ment will be left to the distinguished
visitors.
While The above arrangements have
been made to cover the social enter
tainment of the visiting editors, the
program for the business sessions has
lot. been by any means neglected.
Only a tentative program has been
given out as yet, but as now outlined
it gives promise of being one of the
best ever arranged. Pertinent topics, r
covering every phase of newspaper
work have been placed in competent
bands, and will no doubt prove to be
entertaining and instructive to all who
hear them.

of Nebraska, at a prominent place
in the conveuticn rom, where com

see to it that every newspaper that
is brought or sent will be displayed.

ested in this plan, but now he has
changed the date and those among
the Nebraska editors' who are inter
ested in such a plan will get togeth

BALKAN WAR BEGAN IN 1663
Conflict of Races Started Long Ago,
Seems Destined Now to Ee Fought
to a Finish.
An Italian newspaper reminds us
usefully that the Balkan war began
centuries ago. In the state archives
of Vienna is the declaration of war
sent by Sultan Mehemet IV. to Em
peror Leopold in 1682. “Be it known
to you, the heir of the Caesars, to the
king of Poland, and to your allies
and omnipotent emperor of the east
and west. . . . is on the point of
invading your paltry territories. We
shall bring 1,300,000 soldiers, on horse
and foot, to crush you utterly and lay
waste all your domains. We command
you to await our coming in your
residence in Vienna, where it is our
intention to have you beheaded."
But the war was even then an old
story. The delightful writer who con
tributes “The Office Window" to the
London Daily Chronicle tells us that
while searching through some of the
earliest newspapers printed his eye
was continually diverted to news let
ters from the continent giving ac
counts of the unholy war which Tur
key was waging on Hungary and Aus
tria. Almost at random he copies the
following from the Newes of Septem
ber 17, 1663, a grim reminder that the
Turk has remained unchanged and un
changeable for these 250 years at
least:
"Vienna, Sept. 6.—In Austria every
Fifth Man is to Bear Armes; and they
hope to raise 20,000 Men upon that
Levy to secure the Frontiers. At this
instant comes fresh Intelligence of 10,
000 Turks, and as many Tartars, pass
ing the Waegh. and that they carry
all before them with Fire and Sword."
And again: “We hear that upon the
third instant the Enemy has beaten
our Foot by the River Waegh, and
Possess’d himself of the narrow Pas
sages between the Hills, where he has
burnt divers Towns and Villages, and
Massacred many Thousands of People,
striking off the heads of some, putting
others in Chains . . . and cutting
to pieces Young and Old without Dis
tinction or Mercy.”
His Idea.
“Could you call a deg's chasing of
his tail an economic pursuit?”
"I don’t see how.”
“Isn’t he trying to make both ends
meet?”
Literal Nomenclature.
“Why do you call your sketch
’Wrinkles?’ ”
“Because it is a head liner.”
