After visiting my house several times this woman brought a friend and they pro eeded to make themselves at home. While they were in the house I was outside digging a cesspool. On returning to the house quietly, I saw that the two women had been snooping around and had found a kettle of jewelry which 1 had hidden.

"I was not born in Granite canons or anywhere else near Cheyenne. I had been in Box elder canon country, . which I was trying to reach Saturday, but I had never worked there as sheepherder. I'm not . saying where I was raised or who my folks were. The story that my father is Mr. Bush of Califor nia is untrue. I've said my real name is Fred Brown and I'm sticking to it." Thus Fred Brown greeted in terviewers as he passed through Cheyenne at 3 this afternoon on his way from Rawlins to Lincoln. He was in custody of State Sheriff Gus Hyers and Warden W. T.

He told bf lying in a patch of weeds in Omaha, near the Old People's Home, while a posse beat the countryside for him. A policeman with a riot gun pointed down drew near. Brown awaited his approach with a leveled pistol. Their eyes met. Recognition was mutual. Brown's unblinking eyes and ready weapon were stronger than the policeman's oath. He had "fanned" in a pinch, and Fred Brown put his finger to his lips a signal of silence and the policeman, his riot weapon as useful as a Fourth of July cane, passed on to report "nothing4 doing" to his superiors. His adventures in Lincoln; his thrilling escapes, his 3econd flight, his resolution to get overland to the high west ern hills and hide out, were included in the story.

Hitchcock Pleads for German Goods Nebrakan Opposes Tariff on Chains Now Sold at Low Price by,Foreign Factories. Washington, June 20. The senate got back to the tariff bill today, but only for an hour. The finance com mittee majority offered a new amend ment, modifying its original rates on chains to what was stated to be about the levels in the Paync-Aldrich law, and immediately there was a sharp controversy, democratic speakers urging further reductions. Presenting "a resolution from Ne braska hardware dealers opposing rates in the bill on hardware, Senator Hitchcock, democrat, Nebraska, de clared the business men of the west, without regard to politics, believed passage of the bill would result in in creased prices. Supporting the committee rates, Senator Willis, republican, Ohio, de clared American manufacturers would have to be protected from chain manufacturers in Germany who, he asserted, have their agents in this country booking orders at prices be low the cost of production in the United States. Senator Hitchcock told the scVite that he would undertake to show to morrow that the cry of German com petition was a myth and that there was an attempt to continue com mercially the war that ended some time ago for the benefit, of a few manufacturer in the United States. He argued that Germany was the best customer the United States had in Europe and that it would be un wise to make tariff rates so high that there could not be an exchange of goods between the two nations.

(By A. Government ownership ami operation of the railroads will not he a:: Umic in the threatened strike of 1.000,000 shop workers and others, spokesmen ! tor the rail unions todav told 1 lie American Federation of Labor con vention which responded to their rc ciuest bv withholding a reaffirmation ! of the federation's stand in favor of ! the adoption of such a policy. "The rail unin'is have not ahan I doncd the program of public owner , shin of grown lukewarm or indiffer ent," declared William H. Johnston, president of the machinists union, in explaining the request. "We ask no declaration, however, because we have a most u.nfriendly and unsym pathcic administration at this time. Our enemies would say if the strike occurs in the very near future that the fight was for government owner ship. I believe the strike is encvit able for there is no other way out and we want the issue clear cut. The issue is the ameliration of the wrongs committed by the railroad labor board." Denounce Labor Board. Similar plans by others, who are the prospective, leaders in the threat ened walkout, led Max Hayes of Cleveland to withdraw his'motion for a redeclaration of the government ownership policy. The question ws injected into the convention's work w hen it for a second time during the day went on record as favoring re peal of the transportation act. in which connection it denounced the railroad labor board for its orders. especially those reducing wages and changing workinf conditions. Consideration of the strike threat in connection with th. resolution for i repeal of the transportation act pro- j voked the only long discussion of the day's session, whichiwas crowd-1 ed with business. Early in the day the convention i was marked bv an oral c!a?h be tween President John J. Lewis of the United Mine Workers and Jo seph Lynal, Peoria trades and labor council, when the latter sought to force consideration of a resolution congratulating Alexander Howat and August Dorchy, leaders of Kan sas miner?, fo rtheir stand against the Kansas industrial court. The trouple ended with the convention refusing to act on the resolution and its reference to the miners' union for consideration. Lewis For President. In addition to its big program for work, the convention was marked by the beginning of a movement to run Mr. Lewis as a candidate fr presi dent of the federation in opposition to Samuel Gompers. Although Mr. Lewis declared he was "in no sense" a candidate, efforts were pushed in his behalf during the day. During the discussion of repeal .of the transportation act, Joseph A. Franklin, president of the black smiths union, described the railroad workers as the "only labor group that is tied to its job." He declared that President Harding had told Br' M. Jewell, president of the railway em ployes department of the federation, that "national agreements had to go" and he reviewed various decisions of the labor board, which he said, annulled these agreements between workers and the railroads. Concluding. Franklin said the unions had given the transportation act a fair trial and that with ijew wage reductions to become effective July 1, "thhe men arc going to say for once more that we are not go ing to accept the board's decision." Mr. Franklin's speech brought Mr. Hayes to his feet w-ith the mo tion for the declaration favoring gov ernment ownership, which prompted Mr. Gompers, who was presiding, to inform the convention that such a declaration had been withheld from the convention at the request of the rail union chiefs. 18 Convicts to Be Used on Nemaha Road Work Lincoln.

The Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Rail way company in a brief filed today with the state railway commission announced it will not insist upon in creased rates at this time. However, the brief states, there is little doubt that when the commission makes its valuation finding of the company's property it will find that under the law increased rates are jus tified. "The prevailing purpose in indus try is to assist this movement back to normal conditions in a general way as much as possible," the brief reads, "and particularly in accepting lower incomes. The company is will ing to do its bit in accepting low ered incomes during the readjustment period." The brief contains data concerning the company's income and physical holdings to be used in the effort of the railway commission to fix its rate making valuation.

Nebraskan Quits Brazil Exposition Body After Fisfht Frank Harrison Claims Mem bers of Commission Draw Salaries and Refuse Services. Washington, June 20. (Special Telegram.) Reorganization of the Brazilian exposition commission was forecast today as the result of the squabbel between Frank A. Harri son of Nebraska, culminating in charges and counter charges ' and causing such dissension that Presi dent Harding has taken a hand in ironing out the situation. Following the acticvn of members of the commission who have been at loggerheads for some time in bringing their grievances to the State department and the White House, it was officially announced on behalf of President Harding today that he would review the ' situation at con ference probably tomorrow, at which the members of the commission, to gether , with representatives of the State department would be present. Souabble Not Serious. While the president does not re gard the squabble within the commis swion as of serious character, he and the State department are anxious to end the conflict, as its continuation would affect the efficiency of the body a,nd create an embarrassment tor this government in carrying out its part in the forthcoming exposi tion at Rio de Janeiro. Secretary of State Hughes, apart from his of ficial interest in the matter, has a personal interest, inasmuch as he is to head the American diplomatic mission which is to go to Brazil, and for defraying the expenses of which congress has already made an appropriation. The row which compelled Presi dent Harding to take up the role of peacemaker is primarily between Frank A. Harrison of Nebraska, resident commissioner of the expo sition in Wshingtbn, and other mem bers of the body. Collier Made Special Trip. Commissioner Collier made a spe cial trip, to the United States partly in connection with the row in the commission and partly to discuss the work of the commission with the president and the State department. He has already conferred with the president and presumably discussed the friction. He sails for Brazil June 24 and President Harding is hopeful that harmony can be re established before he sails, without resorting to changes in the member- ship of the commission. The charges of Resident Commis sioner Harrison were particularly directed against Mrs. Livermore and Mr. Kirby. These charges are I to the effect that his associates have not been attending to their official duties, that they have been receiving ?625 a month since January 1, when (Turn to PilKC Foor.
