Noted for Homestead Act
Washington, July 6. M. T. Kin-
Vaid, member of the house of repre

Neb., his home.
In House 20 Years.
CongrrsMiian Kinkaid held an un-v-ual
record in Nebraska. He was
elected to congress in l'AIJ and was
re-elected for successive terms un
. til, had he finished his present term,
lie would have represented his dis
trict 20 years. I'ps and downs of
party politics made no difference to
"Uncle Mose." His candidacy rested
on personal characteristics and a
record of direct service to constitu
ents who, it has frequently been raid,
would elect M. P. Kinkaid to con
gress no matter what might be his
party affiliation. He was, however, a
consistent republican.
The outstanding achievement of his
congressional career was the Kinkaid
act, which permitted the homestead
ing of 640-acre tracts and under
which great sections of western Ne
braska were settled. Much of this
land was in the Sixth congressional
district, which includes nearly half
the area ot the state, running west
from Grand Island and north of the
Platte river. Thus many of Congress
man Kinkaid's constituents were
known as "Kinkaiders," because they
acquired their homes under the Kin
kaid act. Kinkaid also had much to
do with irrigation legislation.
Born in West Virginia.
Congressman Kinkaid was born in
Monogalia county. West Virginia.
JmuaryM. 1854. He was graduated
from the University of Michigan law
school in 1876 and practiced law in
Henry county, Illinois and at Pierre,
S. D., before coming to Nebraska in
1881. He opened a law office. in that
year at O'Neill, Holt county.
In 188.? Kinkaid was elected a state
senator. In 1887 he was elected a dis
trict judge and this office he held
until 1900.
Congressman Kinkaid was a Ma
son, an Odd Fellow and an Elk. He
was never married.

League Body Approves
Arms Reduction Plan

disarmament was declared by Lord
Robert Cecil to have been brought
definitely nearer today, by the ac
tion of a subcommittee of the tem
porary mixed commission on disar
mament of the league of nations in
approving his plan for armament re
duction. The measure provides for
a general reduction of air and land
forces, under the supervision of the
league of nations, a well as for con
tinental alliances against aggression.
The subcommission formally ap
proved Lord Robert's plan and sent
it back to the full commission. It is
taken for granted that the commis

Eamon De Valera
Declares to U. S.
Erin in Civil War
Asserts, in Message to Amer
ican People, Pact Between
Irish Parties Torn Up
"Danger Has Come.'
London, July 6. (By A. P.)
Eamon De Valcra, the republican
leader, in a mcssags) addressed to
the people of the United States, de
clares the pact between the Irish
parties has been torn up, that civil
war has broken out, that the Dail
Eirrean is not allowed to meet and
that the provisional government has
assumed a military dictatorship sup
ported by the British big guns.
"The danger to Ireland which I
feared most and warned our people
of civil war has come to us," says
Mr. De Valera in message. "Soldiers
of the army of the republic have
been attacked by forces of the pro
visional government at the instigation
of English politicians who wanted an
immediate set off to the shooting of
Sir Henry Wilson in order to avert
from themselves political conse
quences which they feared."
Call to Arms Issued.
Dublin, July 6. (By A. P.) A
call to arms was issued today by the
free state government in a proclama
tion opening the way for the enlist
ment of those who last week vcre4
"declined by the government beca'ise
it was confident of the ability of the
army single handed to meet and de
feat any attack made upon it."
Must Have Permits to Leave.
Belfast, Juiy 6. (By A. P.)
Railway communication between
Dublin and Belfast was re-established
today. Passengers from the
north were allowed to enter Dublin
without permits, but military passes
must be obtained if the persons thus
admitted desire to leave Dublin again.
Casualties in yesterday's fighting,
so far as the records of the city
show, were one killed and 16
wounded.
For the eight days of the fighting
in Dublin the casualties are given
as 61 killed, 259 wounded, not in
cluding four snipers shot dead in
Marlborough street and the wound
ed taken prisoner from the repub
licans' Sackville street stronghold.
The material loss to the citizens
of Dublin is very heavy. The value
of the buildings destroved is esti
mated at between 3,000,000 and
4.000,000, while the destruction also
means the loss of very large sums in
rentals and probably considerable un
employment. Tourists Find Bodies of

Lincoln, July fi. (Special Tele
gram.) Before netting on a horse
race, gamblers look m the oast Per-
j forniances on the entries. They don't
j risk their money on some nag just
i hecauc it has a nicely braided mane
or a sleek coat.
It's getting to be that way in poli
tics. The average voter is not es
pecially interested in what the various
kinds are promising to do if elected.
Past performances are going to count
more than pledges both in the state
primaries ot July 18 and in the fall
election.
Among the candidates who accept
this vote is Charles H. Randall, one
of the three men seeking the repub
lication nomination for governor.
Mr. Randall spent the Fourth of
July among his own people at Ran
dolph, a small town in Cedar county.
It was the first time he had touched
home in more than two weeks. For,
be it known, he is carrying on a
most aggressive fight for the nom
ination, even though he is making no
pledges.
Making Hard Campaign.
It ivuv he truthfully he said that
he is campaigning at 40 miles an
lurui. i.di iv jvsitiuin nc ui
by automobile for a 160-mile drive
to Lincoln. At the edge of town, he
pointed out with pride the place
where he broke 160 acres of prairie
land, when he came to the state 35
years ago, and to a grove of wal
nut trees that he planted. Some of
I ... ...!.. ...... I.. ..,
this northern Nebraska land he now
owns, for dollar by dollar he has
amassed enough means to have
friends inquire what he wants to be
governor for.
Nevertheless his friends are hard
at work in his behalf, and there ap
pears little question that the Third
district will return a heavy majority
for him. The south and west may
go to others, but these men who
waved from the roads or the fields
or shook hands in the country towjis
are pretty solid.
Seldom Makes Speech.
Mr... Randall seldom makes a
speech. Slowing up as he reaches a
town, he drives up the main street
and hunts up some old friends. To
gether they go up and down the row
of business houses, shaking hands
with every one, merchants, bankers,
farmers and women shoppers. He
doesn't say any thing in particular to
them hands them a card or folder
announcing his candidacy and passes
on.
One of the men who conducted
Mr. Randall about town was Charles
McLeod of Stanton. Mr. McLeod
is a leader in the Farmers Union and
is a combination ot oanKer ana
farmer.
Let's ask Mr. McLeod why hej
favors Mr. Randall. "I was in the
legislature with him," said Mr. Mc
Leod, "I know him to be morally
and mentally fitted to run the state
of Nebraska."
Standing on Record.
Since Mr. Randall is not bragging
of what he will do in office and is
depending on his past record it is
time to examine that. To a man his
neighbors declares that he is long
headed, unassuming and a man of his
word. He has always stood for pro
hibition. He voted for woman suf
frage. He voted, likewise, for the
code bill, and believes that the gov
ernor should be given full respon
sibility and held to it.
He is president of the Nebraska
Bankers' association. As a member
of the War Finance corporation he
accomplished much toward relieving
the farmers and business men of the
state from disasterous deflation.
On certain vital issues Mr. Randall
does not hesitate to express himself.
One of these is law enforcement.
"I shall strive to make it less easy
for criminals to evade the law," he
said to one of his traveling com
panions. 'T believe it is also within
the scope of the executive to .irevent
the release of hardened criminals. My
idea on the taxation problem is to
cut down the overhead and reduce
expenses of government wherever it
is possible to do so without hamper
ing it."
Meets Other Candidates.
At Norfolk Mr. Randall yesterday
found himself in the midst of many
other candidates. Congressman Jef
feris was there, meeting the business
folk, who is running for the' republi
can nomination for congress from
the Third district, was also at work.
Mr. Havens is likewise refusing to
commit himself to any cut and dried
program and is endeavoring to cor
ral the opposition to Congressman
Evans. He is not in accord with
some of the things that the Harding
administration has done or left un
done. He has an opponent in
Osborne F. Byron, a fire-eating
young republican from Kentucky,
who is also after Congressman
Evans' seat, but on an out-and-out
anti-administration platform.
Judge Evans, meanwhile, is enjoy
ing the comforts of home life at
Dakota City. Political observers say
that he is in no danger of losing re
nomination. Another candidate who visited
Norfolk yesterday was J. O. Shroyer,
who is opposing Senator Hitchcock
for the democratic nomination to the
United States senate. Mr. Shroyer
is endeavoring to unite the farmers
and labor under his banner and has
developed more strength than he is
usually credited with. This is be
cause a good deal of the silent vote
is going to. progressive candidates.

Serious Character.
Pckin, July 6.-(By A. P.) Raids
by Chinese bandits in Manchuria and
along the Korean border have de
veloped a serious problem.
Torikichi Obata, Japanese minis
ter to China, has filed a protest with
the Chinese foreign office against
the attack by Chinese bandits, June
28, on the Japanese consulate at Tou
taokow, near Chientao, when part of
the consulate was burned and two
Japanese were killed.
Minister Obata' has called China's
attention to the fact that Japan re
cently withdrew its troops from that
territory on condition that China
maintain order there. ' He said that,
while Japan did not intend to send
; troops back into the Chientao region,
it would dc rorcea 10 mspaicn consta
bles to protect Japanese nationals un
less the Pekin government provided
adequate policing forces.
Aspires to Presidency.
Canton, China, July 6. (By A. P.)
Sun Vat-Sen, deposed president of
South China, refused General Chen
Chiung-Ming's proposal that he head
a delegation from the eight southern
provinces to negotiate with the
Pekin government for the reunion of
China unless he first is restored to
the southern presidency from which
Chen drove him.
Gen. Chen's proposal to Sun, which
followed recent .efforts to bring the
two southern leaders together again,
was iu the form of a telegram from
Chen's headquarters at Waichow,
about SO miles from Canton.
The message was addressed to W.
K. Chung, vice president of the Can
ton. Christian college. It suggested
that Sun proceed to Shanghai and
there call a conference of the eight
southern and central provinces of
China for the purpose of selecting a
delegate to carry on negotiations
with Pekin.
In the telegram Chen asked that
Sun be assured that the conference
would select the former southern
president as its representative to open
negotiations and that he would have
the undivided backing of the eight
provinces.

Directs Rescue.
Many Sent to Hospitals
New York, July 6.-(By A. T.)
l ame raged 73 teet under ground to
day when fire broke out on an uo
town Lexington avenue subway ex
press near Fifty-ninth street. Deadly
gas filled the 10 cars when guards
attacked the small blaze with fire
extinguishers, and about 150 men,
women and children were affected by
the fumes before they crawled
through the darkened tube to outlets
and climbed or were lifted to the
street, two levels above the express
tracks.
Fifty Sent to Hospitals.
Three persons were so badly at
tacked by the gas that fear is felt
for their lives. About 50 were sent
to hospitals and the others received
medical attention. The train carried
about 500 passengers.
A downtown express on reaching
the spot where the other had halted
also was filled with fumes. Windows
were broken as the passengers fought
to escape
Unaware that the electric current
had been switched off four minutes
after the fire broke out in a fuse box,
passengers crawled along the tracks
on hands and knees, fearing the
dreaded third rail.
The fire started in the motorman's
box after a fuse had blown out.
There was a flash of flame and the
smoke swept through the crowded
train.
Mad Scramble to Escape.
When the emergency brakes were
applied and the train came to a
grinding halt, guards threw open the
doors and passengers made a mad
scramble to escape. Those unable
in walk were carried from the cars
to the Fifty-ninth street station. Fire
ladders also were dropped tnrougn
iron gratings at Sixty-first street and
unconscious women lifted to the
street.
Patrolman Frederick Norman took
charge of the train when it halted.
He commanded the passengers, in
the name of the law, to remain quiet.
Then he directed the guards to open
the door ajid began dragging half
conscious men and women from the
train. Then he, too, collapsell and
had to be lifted to the street, but was
revived soon.
Pulmotors Used.
The injured were stretched out on
the sidewalks for several blocks. A
temporary hospital was organized
and 14 pulmotors were put into oper
ation. The crowd of spectators soon
became so dense that police reserves
had to be rushed to the scene.
Men, women and children filled the
10-car train. Guards attempted to
fight the flames with hand ex
tinguishers, but failed. When the
firemen arrived, however, they soon
succeeded in quelling the blaze, which
in itself was small. Many ot tne nre
fighters were overcome.
Relief work soon got underway.
Besides the doctors who hastened
to the scene in ambulances, many
other physicians jumped into taxi-
cabs, in many cases bringing tneir
office nurses with them.
Bloominsrdale s department store
at 59 street and Lexington avenue
propmtly organized a fire brigade of
75 employes, wno aasneci mio me
subway to aid in the rescue work.
The store's drug department was
raided for supplies and pulmotors.
Many firemen were overcome as
they tried to descend the subway
steps. Members of the rescue squad
donned their gas masks to attack the
flames.
Mayor Hylan, one of the first city
officials to arrive, was driven back
by fumes when he attempted to en
ter' the subway.
English Bench Bids
Farewell to Taft
London, July 6. (By A. P.)
England's bench and bar said fare
well to Chief Justice Taft last night.
The leading members of the Middle
Temple, Britain's foremost training
center of lawyers, tendered him an
imposing testimonial in the ancient
hall where Shakespeare acted before
Queen Elizabeth and where three
signers of the Declaration of Inde
pendence took legal degrees.
Those present included Ambassa
dor Harvey, Home Secretary Shortt,
Lord Carson, lord of appeals; Vis
count Haldane, Lord Hewart, Lord
Chief Justice ,a,nd Mrs. Justice Dar
ling. Mrs. Taft and Mrs. Harvey
sat in the gallery.
Lord Birkenhead, lord high chief
rhanrellor. who was toastmaster. re-1
viewed Mr. Taft's career, coupling
his legal accomplishments, sagacity
and state craft with those of John
Marshall and Joseph Story. Only
three Americans, he said, had prev
iously been honored by the Middle
Temple Choate, Levering and
Davis.
The cheif justice was deeply mov
ed by the overwhelming reception.
He could not express the gratitude
he had in his heart, but realized that
this greeting was tendered him in his
capacity as representative of the
American people. He referred to
Great Britain as the great colonial
empire of the modern world: every
body knew the inestimable service it
had rendered oppressed and alien
races. England had shown that there
was such a thing as justice between
man an man, which is blind and
knows no favor.

Shopmen Going
Back, Official
of U. P. Asserts
Secretary of Shopcrafts Fed
eration, However, Declares
More Men Joining in
Strike.
"Many shopmen who quit last Sat
urday morning are returning to
work."
This was the assertion yesterday
of w. H. Guild, assistant to the
vice president of operation of the
Union Pacific system. The return to
work was noticeable Wednesday at
many points on the union Pacific
system. Guild said. He would, how
ever, give no figures.
J. A. Johnson, secretary of the
Union Pacific federation of shop
crafts, denied that there was any
trend towards the returning of strik
ing shopmen, and produced tele
graphic reports to show that at some
Union Pacific points more men were
joining the strike.
N. C. Allen, superintendent of the
Omaha division of the Burlington,
directed attention yesterday - to
the prompt arrival of trains as a
proof of the ineffectiveness of the
shopmen's strike.
A mass meeting was held at the
Labor temple here yesterday.
Questioned concerning the reported
walkout of stationary firemen and
oilers at some points, C. L. Shamp,
international secretary of the fire
men and oilers' organization, said:
"Firemen and oilers who are going
out now are out in sympathy with
the shop workers. Our votes will not
all be in until midnight Saturday
and the result probably won't be
known until Monday."
Strikers Deny Claims
Workers Are Returning
Lincoln. July 6. While it is
claimed by Burlington road officials
and Mike Shirk, president of the
Burlington Veterans' association,
that many of the older men are re
turning to work in the Havelock
shops of the company, union officials
here assert that many of these men
did not go on strike July 1, ad that
the report of men returning to work
has been greatly exaggerated.
The union officials state that the
veterans who did not go out on strike
are tolerated by the strikers because
of the fact that most of them are
teaching a point in the company
service when thev will soon receive
pensions. They state that these older
Jnen are i'l sympathy with the strike.

The situation is improving so far
as the strike is concerned, Mr. Jewell
said, asserting he had received re

few men that did remain at work
last Saturday and Monday joined the
walkout Wednesday."

a telegram from J. F. Valentine of
Cincinnati, head of the international
Moulders' union, authorizing a walk
out of 2,500 moulders employed on
railroads. He also exhibited tele--grams
from heads of the ladies aux
iliaries of the shopmen's organiza

safe and we are going to win."
Mr. Jewell did not reply to the let

While maintaining that the strike
was "practically 100 per cent," Mr.

ficials, maintained that the ranks of
the strikers remained unbroken.
