tor; Charles Randall, candidate for
governor, ami lluli Simmon, candi
date lor cofigres in the .Sixth district,
opened thrr campaign here tonight
nt a meeting held on the opera house
soiute.
H. A. Webber, chairman cf the
county central committer, presided
arid introduced the speakers. Music
was furnished by the State Industrial
School hand, in charge of K. V
Clark, superintendent.
Mr. Randall spoke in favor of
business form of state government
and modulation in the present nyi
ti-nt in keeping with efficiency and
economy. He flatly denied the ru
inor that if elected he was pledged
to retain the entire personnel of state
tninlovei.
With clear-cut statements, Mr,
Howell outlined to hi audience the
issues of hi campaign, and was given
cloe attention when discussing the
collection of the great debt owed to

Fivorg Irrigation.
Mr. Simmons captured the crowd
when he promised that if elected he
would use his best endeavor toward
promoting irrigation projects and es
pecially those dear to rejiaeni in wic
Matte valley. He said he believed
excessive rail rates was the principal
cause of unemployment, low wages,
the depression of manufacturers, the
plight of agriculture and the cost of
living generally. .
"I believe that agriculture is the
basis of our national prosperity, .Mr.
A. "and that the tarilf,
r.iimnli nmMrnis of financial and
of all other questions should be acted
upon in the light ot tueir etiecr. upon

Statements Denied.
CnU.n of the rumors which
have been put in circulation that he
has promised to retain an me ap
pointees now in state employ, Mr.
Randall said:
"On my return to the state after an
absence of 10 days, I am informed
that reports have been circulated that
I have promised in the event of my
election as governor to reappoint
all-the appointees of the present state
administration, and that I will op
pose amendments to the present code
bill. ' "
"Both of these statements are false.
J have made no promises to the ap
pointees of the present governor, nor
to any other person that would pre
sent me, in the event of my election,
40 select the men or women who are
itit qualified.

' "As to remedying any defects in the

As Cyclone Miller, box lunch mag

house" on the Dodge road west of
the Peony farm early Sunday eve.
ning with Miss oenevieve Martin,
one of his employes, he talked of
selling out his business and said that
they would be married soon, she said
yesterday.
At U Sunday night he was shot and
killed by W. G. Cline, 55. a road
grader, after a dispute in "Mammy's

An inquest will be held at 9 toady

Fires Nine Shots.
Cline, charged with the murder, is
the father of 10 children and until
recently was a farmer near Wayne,
Neb. According to his wife, he be
came involved in debt and had to
leave the farm. Since then he has
been working on grading gangs.
Cline, who was arrested by police
in his tent near the chicken shack,
said he shot nine times at Miller after
Miller had fired at him twice. Lm
ployes at the shack, who witnessed
the shooting, said that Miller did
not have a revolver and that Cline
did the shooting. Police doubt
Cline's story and said that he was
intoxicated when arrested.
Miller, who was 24, died in the
arms of Miss Martin, who was at the
shack with him. Following the shoot
hie she commandeered a passing au
tomobile and rushed him to the Lord
Lister hisoital. But he died in the
automobile as it sped toward the hos
pital.
I prayed lor him as the machine
raced toward the city, said Miss
Martin, whose engagement to Miller
was to have been announced soon,
she said. "He mumbled something
to me and died in my arms."
Girl Tells Story.
Here is the story of the shooting
as told by Miss Martin:
Cline came into the shaa ana
asked for a bottle of pop. He
drank it and then said: I want
seven more bottles. I got seven
kids home and want to give them
each a boitle.' Mr. Miller thought
he was ioking ad tried to talk him
out of it, but he insisted on hav
ing the pop.
'Cyclone then put the bottles in

ius Bill
Four Major Changes Made in
(!n!iieiiation Measure ly
Senate and Home
Conferees.
ow Tariff Action
Wellington, Sept. 11. (Hy A. P.)
- Conferee on the soldiers' bonu
j hill reji lu-d an agreement late to
; day and it was announced that the
; measure would be reported Tucs
'day to the house. It will not be
called up there, however, until after
ithr conference report on the tariff
; hill has been disposed of, w hich may
br on Wednesday or Thursday.
After the house acts, the bonus bill
will go to the senate where also it
is to be put behind the tariff.
I 'our major changes were made
in the bill in conference. They
were:
Elimination of the Simmons
amendment authorizing the financing
of the bonus oiM of interest from the
foreign debt.
Elimination of the land reclama
tion feature, which, under the senate
plan embodied in the Smith-McNary
reclamation bill, would have involved
an expend.ture of $350,000,000.
The limiting of the time in which
veterans might file applications for a
bonus to J.tnuary 1, lyH.
Acceut House Plan.
Acceptance of the house provis
ion fixing the amount to be advanced
for farm or home aid to the amount
of the adjusted service credit in
creased by 25 per cent in place of
the senate plan of amounts ranging
from 10O per cent of the adjusted
service credit, if the applications
were made in IVJH or thereafter.
No important change was made
in the adjusted service certificate
cption with its provisions for loans
to veterans by banks in the next
three years, and for government
loans thereafter. The vocational
training aid option and the provision
for cash payments to veterans whose
adjusted service cedit would not
exceed ?a0 also were unchanged
No Word From Harding.
There still was no official informa
tion as to whether Mr. Harding
wouiu approve the measure in its
present iorm. but its proponents be
lieve he will, while opponents are
f'rmly of the opinion that he will not.
owing to a promised fight on the
tariff bill conference report in the
senate, it may be 10 days or two
weeks before the bonus measure
reaches the White House.
Two of the 10 conferees Senator
Smoot, republican, Utah, and Repre-
anhlinn ( . , ,1 - . 'T'
OL"lnl" viiii;i, uciuucrai, i cxas,
voted against the bonus as finally
perfected, while one manager, Rep
resentative Collier, democrat, Mis
sissippi, was absent. Those support
ing the measure were Senators Mc
Cumber, North Dakota, and McLean,
Connecticut, republicans, and Sim
mons, North Carolina, and Walsh,
Massachusetts, democrats, and Rep
resentatives Ko-dr.ey, Michigan;
Green. Iowa, and Longworth, Ohio,
republicans.

A Standing
Move to Impeach
Daugherty Causes
Hubbub in House
Representative Keller Intro
duces Motion Denied
Privilege of Extending
Remarkg in Record.
By GRAFTON S. WILCOX.
Omaha Be Iiwed Wire.
Washington, Sept. 11, A move
for impeachment of Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty was made in the
house by Representative Keller,
Minnesota, republican, upon charges
of malfeasance in office, based large
ly upon his conduct in securing the
temporary injunction against the rail
road strikers in Federal judge Wil
kerson's court in Chicago.
The interrogation of the impeach
ment proceedings created a lively
hubbub in the house. In the course
of it Mr. Keller was denied the priv
ilege of making a speech or of ex
tending his remarks in the record.
He was forced to content himself
with making the declaration of im
peachment and the introduction of
the formal resolution, both of which
were promptly referred to the house
judiciary committee.
Unless sentiment against the at
torney general grows stronger, there
is little likelihood of the judiciary
committee making a favorable report
on the impeachment resolution to
the house. . A meeting of the com
mittee to consider the impeachment
probably will he called at an early
date and arrangements probably will
be made then to give Mr. Keller and
his supporters a hearing.

Rail Priorities Halt
Work on Statehouse
Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 12. As the
construction of the new state capitol
is being halted by the manner in
which the priority orders of the In
terstate Commerce comtitission are
being enforced, the Nebraska state
railway commission has sent a mes
sage to that commission asking for
some modification of such orders
relating to the loading of car.
It has been learned that some rail
roads refuse to permit the loading
of coal cars with anything. The
federal commission allows the load
ing of empty cars on the way back
to the 'home road. Contractors
have protested that in many cases
building material cannot be shipped
under the present rules.
The state railway commission in
its message suggests that if the fuel
situation should become acute ma
terial could be limited to buildings
now under construction. It sets out
that the construction of homes and
rublic buildings is being delayed.
Sand is shipped hy rail to Ne
braska. It asks that loading in the
direction of the mines be permitted.

Donald R. Richberg, representing
the strike leaders, served notice upon
counsel for the government that h
would move modifications when court
convenes Tuesday.
Jewell and Scott were the only
two of the more than 240 strike lead
ers and 300,000 strikers affected by
the restraining order represented in
conrt by counsel today.
They lost the first battle when tho
court denied their motion that tha
government's petition be dismissed.
"I am not prepared at this time to
decide that the bill fails to set up any
grounds for relief,? Judge Wilkersoti
said, and ordered Blackburn Ester
line, assistant to the solicitor gen
eral to proceed with the presentation
of the government's esse.
In the argument over the con
tinuance of the restraining order,
however, the court pointed out the

the bill, some modification of the
present order might be wade.
