R. B, Howell, havinsr served the people of C)'..fVy,.'V , A ocm Inrl
Nebraska well and faithfully
inritlnn
The American republic
promotinar men to higher jobs
in lesser ones.
The larger Held of duty
from his work in Omaha, which will be left in good hands,
Nebraska farmers and Nebraska business men tie
pendent on the farmer, need a real representative in Wash
ington. Howell has proven his faithfulness to the people of Ne
braska in many battles, which he has won against the same
elements that are now testing his election,
Nebraska needs a republican senator in the senate.
Howell's opponent, even when the senate was demo
cratic and the administration was democratic, proved unable
to accomplish anything for Nebraska.
The northern and western states always suffer in the
hands of a democratic administration, when legislation
necessarily favors "the southern bloc."
Omaha's clairg on Howell must yield to the greater
claim of Nebraska as a whole.

London. Nov. 4. Iiy ,. P.)
Former I'rlme Minister I.luyd (icorge,
In (lillveriiig t 'idd y hla drat popular
addresa In London since the fall of
the coalition cabinet, made a strong
defense of the lata government's- pol
icy and pleaded for a vigorous middle
course, free from both revolution and
reaction, which he described as eijuully
dangerous to tlm Interests of the na
tion. The cx premier spnko In a motion
picture theater to 3,000 persons. Some
?i,000 persons applied for admission.
If the attitude of Mr. Lloyd Oeorge'a
audience and that of the throng of
people clustering about the doors seek
ing admittance are any criterion, he
haa by no means lost hla popularity,
even In London, where most of the
criticism of the late coalition has cen
tered. Holds Audience .Spellbound.
When the ex preniler appeared on
the stage the whole audience rose
and Joined In cheering for several
minutes. Although he did not appear
to be In his best speaking form, he
was able to hold hla audience spell
hound except for Intermittent cheers
for more than an hour.
Particularly acceptable to the audi
ence was the ex-premler'a summary
of the economic and financial policies
or the late government.
"When my friend. Mr. Bonar Law,
the new prime minister, left the
wretched coalition cabinet," auld Mr.
Lloyd George, "the Hrltlah sovereign
would buy In the United States only
13 shilling tuppence worth of mer
chandise; when Air. Bonar Law man
aged at the Carlton club to overthrow
that cabinet the British sovereign
would buy 18 shillings 5 pence worth
of merchandise."
Kpeaking of the danger from ex
treme socialism und from likp conser
vatism. Mr. Lloyd George laid aside
his notes, leaned backward In charac
teristic fashion and declared:
"When you get home to your dic
tionaries, turn to the letter 'It,' read
down to the word 'Reaction,' and then
read a very little further and come to
the word 'Revolution.' They come
very close logether, almost In the
same column, but remember reaction
cornea first. Even Murrsy'a diction
ary has a lesson which we will do well
to remember."
Warns Heareia.
The ex premler warned his hearers
to remember In the coming elections
that they would chooae a parliament
for five years and b asked If they
Hunted a parliament which would
sleep pfillile.illy and remain quiescent,
onniln.lf nl if the many difficulties
which were liount to He ahead.
"Tranquility," he added, ' din-a not

A'uiiiitt Senator.
Probe Blocked, He Says
Gutzon Borglum, famous sculptor of
Htamford, Conn., former Omnhiin and
member of a family still resident and
prominent in timaha, reiterated em
phatically last evening Ids chnrgs that
Hemitor Gilbert M. Hitchcock refused
tu carry on an Investigation of al
leged frauds in the war aircraft pro
griini because such an Investigation
might Imperil men with whom h had
business relations, and Gov. James M,
Cox, his "friend."
Mr, Borglum's charge was published
originally by another Omaha paper, It
covered facts which, he said, came to
his knowledge while ha was making
an luveHtlgatlon of wartime frauds as
I rpiclnl government Investigator by
authority of 'resident Wilson.
Korgliuii I'rovrs Nlatemenl,
Kenator illlchcock's ricwapaper
countered the charge by declaring
that rresldent Wilson bad never au
thorized Borglum to make such an
investigation, it claimed to quote a
btt.-r by l'resldent Wilson, Intimat
ing this to be true,
Borglum's answer, In two tele
grama tu The Omaha, Bee, Is a quota
tion of two letters addressed to hlrn,
one by President Wilson, himself, and
one by Hecrelary of War Baker,
Both letters beseech Borglum's aid
In making an official Investigation
and promlsn him every assistance,
Demanded Witness I,M.
Borglum slates that Hitchcock was
at the time the virtual head of the
military t,ffalrs comrnltl.ee. When
Borglum first alarted the Invest Iga-.
Hon, be stales that Hitchcock tried
to slop It hy indirect suggestion.
Borglum roposed an open Investiga
tion, suggesting that a list of various
people ho prepared and these be re
quired to come to Washington to
testify. Then, Borglum declares,
llll.i;heoel lefUHod to act unless the
list first ho submitted to him,
Hitchcock, according to Borglum,
apparently agreed at last to have the
necessary subpocmies sent out. How
ever, when Borglum'e representative
culled to complete arrangements,
Hitchcock again refused to act with
out jrlor knowledge of tho name.
Within a. week ho arose on the floor
of tho sonute and announced that lie
"had aeen the evidence of Mr. Bor
glum and it was of little conse
quence." Committee Hacks Borglum.
Again Borglum pressed the matter
and this time he had an Interview
with Hvnator Hitchcock and Kenutora
Itecd, Wadsworth, Thomas, New and
Frellnghusen. When Borglum finished
his statement, Reed remarked, ac
cording to Borglum, that "If what you
aay la half true, I'll move from the
senate floor tho hanging of some of
these fellows."
The committee then moved to have
the chairman do aa Borglum re
quested. As the other senators left the room
Hitchcock called Borglum and invited
him to lunch. In the course of this
lunch, Borglum charges that Hitch
cock turned to him and remarked
that, "I cannot do this, Borglum. It
would ruin Governor Cox of Ohio, my
very good personal friend, and It
would affect other men with whom
I have business connections."
Herald (funics letter.
To this charge The World-Herald
answered by declaring that President

(that Is being practiced by democratic

democratic parly promises to reduce all taxes 20 per rent. This ran not he done without taking the money out
of the schools, for about SO cents out of every dollar collected as taxes goes to schools.

Orange, Tex., Nov. 4. Two avia
tors were killed near Toomey, La.,
at 10:15 this morning when their ma
chine became entangled In telegraph
wires along the Houlhern Pacific rail
road and they fell. News of the ac
cident wus brought here by N.
Coumler, farmer at Toomey, which
Is alx miles east of Orange on the
Louisiana side of the Kablne river.
Ho did not know the names of the
dead whoso bodies were being taken
to Lake Charles, La,
Lator the bodies were Identified as
Lieut R. C. Wilyard and C. O.
Zearsans of Fort Bliss, El Paso, Tex.
An eye-witness declared the plane
was flying low and Mint one of the
men -was hanging outside the plane
as though ho had failed to extricate
himself in his attempt to Jump with
his parachute.
Parachutes were tied about both
men when their bodies were removed
from tho wreckage, which led to the
belief that seeing a crash was Im
minent, they unsuccessfully attempted
to leap to the curlh.
Both flyers were dead when reach
ed. A Masonic Identification card
was found on tho body of Zearsass.
He belonged to Rl Paso lodge No.
130. A handbag In the wrecked plane
bore the dome of Wilyard.
At a corner's Inquest it developed
that the accident was probably du,
to the heavy fog and that the aviators
lost their way and attempted to Jump
from the pinna, bringing on the crash.

U. P. Seeks to Have
RailSeparation
Action Set Aside
Supreme Court Decision on
Southern Pacific and Cen
tral Pacific Before Com
merce Commission.
Washington, Nov. 4 The attempt
of the Southern Pacific railroad to
prevent the separation of the Central
Pacific from it, which has been
ordered by the supreme court, came
up for argument for the first time to
day before the Interstate Commerce
commission, when the Union Pacific,
as an Intervener, sought to have the
entire proceedings set aside.
The fouthern Pacific, although its
combination with the Central Pacific
has been held by the supreme court
to be a violation of anti-trust laws,
has appealed to the commission to
maintain Its Interlocked relationship
with the Central Pacific, at least
until the general plan of consolidation
of nil the railroads in the country Into
19 major regional systems has been
worked out as provided in the trans
portation act.
H. A. Scandrett. general counsel
for the Union Pacillc, in opening the
argument for dismissing the Southern
Pacific's appeal, declared that the
coiymission could not sustain the
application unless Its membership
had already concluded the association
of the Souths; n Pacific and Central
Pacific to be In public Interest.
Further, In answer to questions, be
expressed belief that the commission's
legal powers would not allow it to
take the action sought by the Ruuth
ern Pacific.
.Says Decision Harmful.
Former Chairman Clark of
commission, arguing also for
I'nloll Pacific, suggested that
the
the
the
commission, If It moved In the direc
tion requested by the Southern Pa
cific, would full to exercise comity
towards the supreme court. With
Mr. Scandrett, be declared that the
court's decision prderlng dissolution
of His Southern Puciflu feudal Pacific !
n.e!--.r had l.inpd the association
as harmful.

Telephone
Rate Case
Is Settled
Omaha Private Itranch Ex
cliaiifies Mtift Pay Increase
Hotel Patrons Must
Pay City Toll.
Surcharge Is Continued
Lincoln, Nov. 4. -tSpeclal. V Th.
Nebraska slate railway commission,
In an order Issued today, gave the
Northwestern Bell Telephone com
I any u new rate achedulo which ii
3:15,000 less iiiiiiunlly than the rale
demanded by the company nearly
year ngo.
The new set of rates, however, In.
creases thi) prices for telephone ser
vice that must he paid In Omaha and
other clllcs for private brunch e
changes service, cutension sets, extra,
directory listings and olhcr upeelal
services. Tho enlra revenue, to lie
taken from (nnaha as u result vf the
new rates, is estimated ut from $0,
000 to $:io,ouo a year.
Hotel I'ul runs are Hit.
This means that Omah i mid other
hotels with private, brunch excluingee
may charge their cUMtoineia 10 cents
for every call outside of tho hotel or
pay tho udtled charge (Ionia ruled by
the company themselves, If the hotels
put tho tax on the cueloiin-r. It must
tmy 6 cents of the lo cents tu the
company for Its troubles and guarantee
the company a certain amount of busi
ness each month.
The new rales, complicated and In
tricate, will, according to a statement
Issued by the comniisHion, mean that
telephone rales except those mention
ed will be approximately tlm sanio ua
they have been lu th past since the
10 per cent war Increase, .commonly
known as tho surcharge, wna Inaugu
rated. .No Kcdiictiiin Made.
The company nuked for considi ruble
more than the surcharge and that
accounts for tho f 3r.noo cut made by
the commission. It meuns, tho com
pany gets JHW.OOO less than it asked
tho commission to grunt it.
Tho company asked for a perma
nent increase due to war prices. Th4
commission refused to grant the com
pany a permanent Increase, but from
one specified period to another haa
granted a temporary 10 per cent In
crease or surcharge to tide company,
It was nearly nine months ago that
thn company went before the com
mission and asked for permanent
rate, which were much In exceaa of
the surchargiis, claiming that tela
phone companies received much lesa
than other lines of business In the
way of increaecd rates during the
war.
Revolt Against Increase.
The entire territory in Nebraska
served by the Northwestern I3ell Tele
phono company revolted against the
demand of the company. Communi
ties employed attorneys to protest at
hearings and some stormy sessions
were held In Lincoln.
It , was claimed that the Lincoln
Telophone and Telegraph company on
lta book expenses served the people
much cheaper than the Northwestern
In Nebraska, and only the boundary
line of the Plntte river separated the
two. The patrons asserted that the
North Platte country, served by the
Northwestern, was not one whit differ
ent than the South Platte country
served by the Lincoln company, and
there was no reason for the more ex
pensive operation of the Northwest
ern as show n on Its booka.
H also was charged that the North
western, an admitted subsidiary of the
American Telephone & Telegraph com
pany, was fliniflammlng the public,
en Its earnings by Interweaving the
accounts of the two companies. It
also was charged that tho Northwest,
ern, by being controlled hy the Ameri
can Telephone & Telegraph company,
was forced to buy supplies from the
Western Kb-etrlc company, another
subsidiary of the American Telephone
& Telegraph company, and tho price
IMild by the Northwestern to the West
ern Kh-ctric was much higher than
the winio suppllis could be purchased
on the open mmket,
("iiuipmiy (iris Fund.
At the time of the, hearing the pa
trons Insisted that tho surcharge be
placed In a Hipiuatn fund so that ill
