Two Omaha Burglar Flee
Reformatory at Lincoln
Lfucoln, Aug. 20. (Special.) Ray
Thompson, 22, and Chester Cowley,
17, committed to the state reforma
tory from Omaha for burglary, each
for a four-year term, escaped from
the reformatory yard this afternoon
by scaling the 12-foot barbed-wire
fence.
It is thought that the pair have
fled for Omaha, where they are pre
sumed to have friends.
Cowley and Thompson owe their
lives, perhaps, to the fact that orders
to electrify the top strands of the
fence met with delay last week. They
are to carry enough current to knock
a man to the ground.

The original appropriation for

There is justice in this, for a good
many of the regulatory functions
that it perform arose at the reijurst
of the financial institutions that are
concerned. It is to the advantage
of honest business to have unfair
practice weeded out a a move
toward public confidence.

All feel collected by the state are
turned into the treasury and mut be
appropriated by the legislature be
fore they can be apriit, Kvrn the
federal aid funds, amounting to mil
lions of dollars, are first deposited
in the state treasury. The fact that
they are then rr-appropriatcd makes
the amount of money handled by
the state bulk very large, As a mat

day in Attempt to Pre- t
vent French Action.
Parii, Aug. 20, (By A, P.) The
departure of the reparation miision
for Berlin marked the beginning of
the final effort of the reparation!
commission to find a temporary so
lution of the German indemnity prob
lem acceptable to both French and
British public opinion and thereby
prevent the threatened independent
action by France, with a consequent
breaking up of the entente.
Sir John Bradbury, British mem
ber of the commission, and his associ
ates will arrive at Berlin Sunday
night. They have an appointment
to aee Chancellor Wirth Monday
morning,
Relative to the departure of thi
misiion, French official circles have
renewed with increased vigor the
French lan for a comprehensive rep
aration settlement which Premier
I'oincare would have presented at
London but for the refusal of Mr.
Lloyd George to permit discussion
of the allied debts.
The reparations commission is be
ing unofficially urged to take up
the plan, now that the government
themsclve have failed to olve the
problem. Briefly, the scheme pro
vide for a reduction of the interest
bearing reparation to 50,000,000,000
gold mark, including both cash and
merchandise, and the gradual cancel
lation of the remainder of the 132,
000,000,000 marks indemnity.
Thus 82,000,000,000 gold mark
would be cancelled proportionately as
the 50,000,000,000 are paid by Ger
many, and as the interallied debt
are canrelled. The plan leavei the
United States' claims in abeyance for
adjustment later, the point being
made that the allied debts to the
United States cannot, at this time,
he considered with the general repa
ration question.
The reparation! commission would
welcome the opportunity to itttle
the question in such a broad way, but
it is realized that the government
would have to give the commission
special authority to proceed with
such plans. Both the French and
Hntili officials regard some general
srtthmrnt such as the French pro.
poi.il. Inevitable, but lmpoiible at
the present time.
The purpose, therefore, of the com
misiion is to find a temporary com
promise which would bring the in
terval between now and November
and IVrrmber. by which tim it is
especied th allies will b ready for
tislly to roniidcr cancellation ot

Outlook for Passage of Tariff
ami liomia Kill Dark
Fordney Opposes
Vacation.
Situation Up to Harding
By GEORGE P. AUTIIIEK.
Wutilkf IM rrrtin4t Oauha Hr,
Washington, Aug. 2') Special Til
egram.) Kepublican leaders are con
sidering the adjournment of congress,
deferring final action on the tariff and
the bonus until congress should con
vene agaiu in December, Republican
Leader Munch II of the bouse has been
discussing the move with senate lead
en and finding considerable support
for the idea. It will be put up to
President Harding for final deter
mination. The leaders feel that thi would be
wiser than to attempt passage of the
tariff bill mediately.
The bill passed by the senate
goe to conference with the
houte Irader and i bound to strike
a snag there over the comparative
merits of the foreign and American
valuation plans, the former approved
by the senate and the latter by the
house.
Chairman Fordney of the house
ways and mtam committee has de
clared the houte will stay in session
until the mow fliei unless the Amer
ican valuation plan is adopted, and
the member! lay "Joe ii a stubborn
fellow." The bent that can be hoped
for is an agreement among the con
ferees, sometime in October, result
ing in passing the bill just before the
elections,
- Eonu in Tangle.
The bonus legislation js in a tan
gle. .The president has not changed
his mind about demanding either a
sales tax or some other method of
meeting the extra drain that would be
placed upon the treasury if the bo
nus is passed.
Republican leaden say that a presi
dential veto just before election
would be hard to explain, demand
ing a defense of themselves at the
expense of the president or a defense
of the president at the expense of
themselves.
Passage of the tariff bill just be
fore election would demand unusual
agility in defending the measure in
so short a time, The democrat can
be relied upon to make a concerted
attak upon the measure and the re
publicans say it will take more than
a few week to catch up with the
partisan falsehood! that are certain
to be uttered concerning it. Also
retail profiteer! are expected to take
advantage of the tariff to boost price
at the outset before the public real
izes what ii being done, rendering
the proper dcf-ne of the tariff in 10
short a time difficult.
Mondell Advise! Delay,
Leader Mondell and other leader
believe it would be better to let the
conference committee alone while
congressmen go about their business,
returning after the election! in De
cember to take up both the bonui
and Hie tariff.
It is planned to pass the legisla
tion asked for by President Harding
before congren adjourns, relative to
the itrike situation. The president
moved today in this direction by ac
cepting the Borah bill for the formu
lation of a fact-finding commission
in the coal industry, a bill which
recommends that the commission
shall pass on the advisability of na
tionalization of the mines, a startling
thing for republican congressmen to
consider. The other recommenda
tions can he considered and adjourn
ment reached in a few dayi if Presi
dent Harding agrees.
Assessor Denied Pay
by Commissioners
Alliance, Neb., Aug. 20. (Special.)
Refusal of the county commission
ers to pay County Assessor John
Pilkington $500, which he claims ii
due him for making a personal tax
canvasi of the 14 precincts of the
county, threatens to bring the mat
ter into court for settlement.
The commissioner, on advice of
County Attorney Basye, are standing
pat on the statute which definitely
assign the kind of work done by
Assessor Pilkington to precinct as
sessor rather than to the county
assessor, and they .claim Pilkington
was advised of the law in the mat
ter before he made the canvass. The
assessor, however, claims he is en
titled to the pay, Following the re
fusal of the commissioner! to pay
him, Pilkington took the assessor'
bonks from the courthouse and de
clare! he will not return them until
the commissioner "come across"

Washington. Aug. 20. American
valuation looms up a the chief stum
bling block in action by conferees
of the senate and house on the tariff
bill, which was passed Saturday by
the senate after four months' debate.
Although Kepresentattve Fordney,
Michigan, chairman of the house
wayi and means committee, who
some months ago threatened to kill
all tariff legislation unlcis American
valuation were approved, continues
to demand it . acceptance there i
every indication that the controversy
will be settled before many day.
If early action i taken, it will be
because the house will fail to sup
port Mr. Fordney on the proposition.
Mr. Fordney hai let it be known that
he will not presi the matter further
if the house refuses to uphold him in
a request for instruction to the
house conferee to insist upon Amer
ican valuation.
Mr. Fordney professc to believe
that the house will vote oyerwhelm
ingly for American valuation, but
many others incline to the belief
that he will find himself reveried on
the proposition and that the con
ferees then will accept the foreign
valuation basis, a provided in the
senate bill, -without further delay.
Action by the house in favor of
American valuation, on the other
hand, will give Mr. Fordney a club
to use against the irnate and an
agreement may be delayed indefi
nitely. Mr. Fordney doe not plan to ask
for instructions when the house sends
the bill to conference Monday or
Tuesday. If he find the senate con
ferees unwilling to agree to Ameri
can valuation, lie will return to the
house for instructions. The issue
may rcVh the floor of the house by
the end of this week if the conferees
attempt to aigrre at the start upon
the basic question of valuation, as ii
likely,

Irregulars Plan
Reign of Terror,
Dispatch Says
Campaign '"on 'Foot ' to" Strike
Swiftly and Inflict Maxi
mum Damage, Message
Declares.
London, Aug. 20. A press asso
ciation dispatch from Dublin snvi
there is ample evidence that the ir-i
regulars, who admittedly have been
defeated in the field, are planning a
new campaign of terrorism and de
struction. It is not their intention to hold on
to areas as an organized force and
invite conflicts at close quarters with
the free state forces, adds the dis
patch, but to strike swiftly and inflict
the maximum amount of harm to all
men of questionable loyalty. The ir
regular are declared to be undergo
ing organization into flying column,
composed of about 30 to 40 men
and divided into squads of five, to
carry out the new tactics.
The irregulars intend to continue
guerilla warfare "by the same meth
ods as when war was waged against
the English."
Bitter Struggle Expected.
Dublin, Aug. 20. Large forces of
national troops are operating near a
moat north of Dundalk, to which the
irregulars retreated when Dundalk
was captured by the free state force
two day ago. The nationals are en
deavoring to force the rebels across
the northern frontier. The irregu
lar are reported to have accumu
lated large stores of ammunition and
provisions and a bitter struggle ii
expected.

Plunging along at a speed esti
mated at more than SO milee an hour,
the train, composed of 23 can, wai
laid to have been frying to make
up leveral hour lost time, being
due in Chicago at 9:45 last night.
The can were filled with valuable
txprcsi shipment and the train car
ried a crew of eight men but no
passengers.
Suddenly on a straight itrctch ol
track about a mile east of Gary, tht
engine leaped from the track,
plowed over the tie for a hundred
feet and then turned a complete
somersault, ending in a mass ol
steaming wreckage at one side of
the right-of-way. Eight of the cars
followed the engine, their contents
being scattered for hundreds of dt
in all directions. The bodiei of the
engineer and fireman were btirieo
beneath the wreckage.
First report! of the wreck came
from Conductor Harry Foote of
Detroit, who walked a mile down
the track to telephone for doctor!
and rescue parties, C. . Evans of
Lake county and railway official!
immediately began an inveitigation
The cause of the wreck remained
a mystery for ionic hour because
of the confusion at the icene and the
fact that the rail And tie had been
plowed up and tossed about like
match wood for hundred of feet.
An investigation by Martin Quinn
sbecial agent of the road, revealed
that while the roadbed had bee
ground into an unrecognizable mast
from the spot where the train ha!
left the rails, enough remained at tht
place where the engine had beer
thrown from it course to furnish,
mute evidence of the work of train
wreckers. Everything- ahead of the
gap, however, had been destroyed.
Secretary Hughes
Defends Newberry
Expresses Opinion That Sen
ator From Michigan Was
Wrongly Accused.
Washington, Aug, 20. Secretary
Hughe, in a letter made public by
the republican national .committee,
expresses the conviction after a re
view of tic Newberry case, "that
Senator Newberry was wrongly and
most unjustly convicted."
The secretary, writing to the Rev.
Hugh B. McCaullcy of Paterson, N.
J., in response to an inquiry as to
the "facts" in the Newberry case,
give in detail the findings of the
courts, especially the supreme court
which set aside the conviction of Mr;
Newberry and then concludes:
"Despite the long period of pre
paration, the rigid investigation, the
careful choosing of their ground, the
long drawn out trial, the attempt in
every possible way to besmirch and
the zeal, ability and even bitterness
of his pursurers, their endeavor to
establish a violation of the law on the
part of Senator Newberry completely
failed and accordingly Senator New
berry stood as a senator dulv elected
by the people of the state of Michi
gan and entitled to his seat in the
senate of the United States."
