ow the safety line hat been with
drawn westward until only France
remains behind. The smallest gaps
from Alsace to Holland are being
tilled up and passage across the
Rhine is becoming more and more
difficult. '
To Demand Moratorium.
With the news from the Rhine
came telegrams to the reparations
! commitsionfrom Berlin that several
4 German representatives are eu route
' to Paris to demand a moratorium on
cash payment for the next two
months and possibly for-the re
mainder of thit year. It is stated that
an equivalent in merchandise is
promised instead. xThe sudden plea
has forestalled the guaranty com
mission, which is now in Berlin try
ing to adjust the finances.
During the German crisis the
Rhine line is intended as a sanitary
cordon, to hold back communist
propaganda, rather than to hold back
physical attacks. About 2,500 French
and Belgian airplanes on the Rhine
make a physical attack impossible.
France is remarkably free from
communism, but its position might
grow dangerous if Germany were to
k adopt revolutionary ideas.

rific beating by the crowd, being"
kicked and struck in the face and
about the body by the mob.
Umpire Murphy was struck to the

the ninth inning. The act was com
mitted in the presence of Sheriff
Stivers, who afterwards arrested the
pitcher on the charge of assault to
do serious bodily injury.

Marr, another Norfolk player, had
to be removed from the diamond by
the sheriff for default of payment
of a fine levied by Murphy in -a
game yesterday. Upon being ruled
out by the umpire he pleaded with
League President Miles to allow
him to play. Miles refused to inter

Marr then offered a check which
Murphy refused. He refused to leave

summoned. j
s The umpire was standing between i
the catcher's position and the third
base when the altercation took place
between the pitcher and the um

for the second time during the
game. It was at this point that
Speece struck the umpire and broke
his nose.
Speece was suspended from the
league for 30 days by President
Miless, who witnessed the assault.

Speece was arraigned in the county
court, pleaded guilty and was fined.

warned the offender against any
repetition of that sort of work and
declared that the public wants no
sport of' the kind at any time.
Local fans allege they overheard
a group of Norfolk players planning
the entire affray. The purpose was
"to get Murphy's goat," and it was
determined to "crab" on every de

Registration to Aid Bryan
Lincoln, July 9 (Special.) The

did a rushing business. It was the
first day, however, that officials re
ported heavy registration.
A number of Russian laborers, a
majority of whom told officials they
were born in Russia, asked to have
their party affiliation changed from
republican to democratic. This, po
litical observers claimed, was the re
sult of sympathetic talks given strik
ers recently by "Brother Charlie"
Bryan, one of the democratic candi
dates for nomination for governor.
Bryan denied he made political
speeches.

Lincoln. July 9. (Special Tele
gram.) There need be no mystifica
tion over the harmony movement
that it designed to unite the Hitch
cock and Bryan factions of the demo
cratic party in the coming primary.
In many towns about the state,
prominent democrats, some tradition
ally wet, tome dry, are uniting for
the primary contest. The object,
which never it mentioned publicly, it
simply to collect the fragments of
the democratic party in preparation
for the national campaign of 1924. -
There are four candidates for the
democratic nomination for governor
of Nebraska. One is Dan Butler of
Omaha, anotfier is J. N. Norton, a
farmer of Polk county, who is en
tered also on the progressive ticket.
Then there is Will M. Maupin, an
editor of Gering. The fourth is
Charles W. Bryan of Lincoln. There
are two democratic candidates for
senator, Gilbert M. Hitchcock of
Omaha, and J. O. Shroyer, a farmer
of iumboldt.
Harmony Club Slate.
At one of these Harmony clubs
organized in Columbus last night, the
following slate was drawn up: Hitch'
cock for senator. Bryan for gover
nor, William J, McNichols for lieu
tenant governor, Kenneth VV. Mc
Donald for attorney general, and Ed
g.ir Howard for congressman.
Always an interesting personality,
Mr. Bryan now hat become even
more of a storm center. A month
ago he wrote to the Commoner, "I
believe that the democratic party can
be united on an honorable basis. I
believe it is possible to re-elect Sen
atof Hitchcock to the United States
senate."
The conditions on which he based
this opinion were the acceptance by
Hitchcock of the prohibition and
suffrage issues, "as already settled
by the voters 'of the state," and the
assumption that he would "vote and
use his influence in the senate, if
elected, to uphold the .well known
sentimehr of ' Nelrtaslca.-wrricri is" bp
posed to any modification - which
would weaken the Volstead act, and
that he would support a liberal ap
propriation for the enforcement of
prohibition."
I Not Stamping the State.
Mr. Bryan is not stumping the
state, but is depending on letter
writing and calls from friends in his
campaign. His duties as city com
missioner in Lincoln and as editor
of the Commoner, keep him hus
tling. His suite of JQur office rooms
is constantly filled with visitors.
While one is left to stare at the bust
f W. J. Bryan and the photographs
and mementoes of presidential cam
paigns in which his famous brother
participated, Mr. Bryan disposes of
his callers in the order in which they
appear, sometimes holding overflow

be provided under a bill introduced
in the senate by senator Ladd, re
publican, Ngrth Dakota. Senator
Ladd said his measure had the ap
proval of several members of the
senate agriculture committee, of
which he is a mdmber.
The bill was identical with that in
troduced in the house by Represen
tative Wright, democrat, Georgia,
but was given a senate title.
The North Dakota senator did not
reveal the names of the committeemen
who had approved tyie measure, but it
was known that it was acceptable to
the democratic members. Senator
Ladd, in presenting the bill, called
attention to the expenditures made
by American farmers for nitrate im
portations from Chile and asked the
senate if "the farmers should con
tinue to pay more than $3,000,000
annually, when Mr. Ford offers to
relieve them of these burdens at
Muscle Sholes."
"The average importations of
Chilean nitrate lor five years. 1911-
tyjs, inclusive, senator Ladd said,
"amounted to 551,714 long tons, with
an average value at the Chilean port
ot $l,Ml,oy7, and with an export
duty paid to Chile on this tonnaee
amounting to $6,910,978.92. The cost
of ocean freight.'jinsurance. commis
sions, etc., on this five-year period
of Chilean nitrate importations, .can
be conservatively estimated at $10 a
ton, making a total cost at oort of
approximately $29,939,815.92."
