Turkey Dinner
of Child Bride
Is Called Off
Court Annuls Marriage of
Girl, 14 Given Into Cus
tody of Grandfather
Husband Plans Appeal.
Mabel Behr, 14, who married Ralph
Pierce, 25, nine months ago, will not
have her anticipated turkey and trim-
mine' today with her husband.
District Judge gears annuled the
marriage, scored the entire family and
ordered the girl turned over to her
grandfather, John Jenkins, wealthy
farmer of Cullison, Kan.
During the two days' hearing to
have- the marriage annulled, which
action was brought by tha father, both
Pierce and his girl-wife planned an
elaborate feast for today.
Family Is Scored.
"The father to not a fit person to
have the girl," said Judge Sears.
"Pierce should not have married her
because of her age. Several member
of the family committed a fraud in al
lowing the girl to get married."
"If I am taken to my grandfather'
house, you can bet that I will not re
main there overnight," said the girl as
she sobbed in the Juvenile ward of the
county JalL I want my husband and
intend to return to him. Don't care
what the Judge said. I don't know my
grandfather. The first time I ever
saw him waa in court."
"It is an injustice to take her away
from me," said Pierce. "During our
married life of nine months, she has
known no want. I bought her better
clothes than her father did. It is an
outrage for the court to act as It did."
Willing to Wait.
Pierce states that he would be will
ing to wait until the girl waa 18, if
necessary, to marry her again.
Jenkins Is the father of Mrs. Matle
Shipley, the girl's mother, now living
in Bartlesville, Okl. She waa, di
vorced from Behr several years ago.
Jenkins stated that he would attempt
to educate the girl a,nd send her to
college. i
Attorney for Pierce stated that he
would probably appeal Judge Sears'
decision to the state supreme court.

McKelvie Urges
Faith in State
in Statement
Indications in Nebraska for
Prosperity Continue Favor
able as Farm Product
Prices Show Gain.
In Nebraska, the surface Indications
of returning prosperity continue fav
orable, declared Governor Samuel R.
McKelvie in a statement made public
yesterday.
On January 4, 1923, Governor Mc
Kelvle'g second term expires and he
will return to hi private business at
1400 P street, Lincoln. He will be
succeeded as governor by Charles W.
Bryan,
"Corn ia Nebraska' largest and
most profitable grain crop," declared
the governor in hjs statement, "and
the yield thl year is estimated at
178,000,000 bushel as compared with
an average yield of 204,000,000 bush
els for the last five years.
"About 25,000,000 bushels, or 12 per
cent, of last year's crop is still n
the farm. This bring the total amount
of corn in the farmers' hands up to
the five-year average. The yield of
the other staple farm crops la about
normal. .
Wheat Prospect Favorable.
"The November estimate of the to
tal yield of all wheat was 55,644,000
bushels. An unusual shortage of
moisture during the month of Sep
tember and October raised some ques
tion regarding the outcome of next
winter's wheat crop, but aince that
time abundant rains have visited the
greater portion of the wheat belt, and
the prospect now Is favorable, ex
cept in the extreme west end of the
state.
"The trend of price of the prin
cipal farm, livestock, dairy and poul

Ahead on Liquidation.
"The total value of all farm prod
ucts for this state this year will be
approximately $500,000,000, or an
average of $4,000 for every farm in
the state."
The governor pointed out that Ne
braska atands in the very front
among all the states in percentage of
liquidation to the War Finance cor
poratlon.
"More livestock la being fed than
usual," he said, "while dairying and
poultry raising are Increasing.
"On the other hand there I a
shortage e cars. This ia hampering
marketing.
"There Is still too great u. disparity
between the prices of farm products
and the cost of production. Even
with the favorable prices that now
prevail, It Is unusually difficult for
the farmer . to make an adequate
profit out of his operations.
"Withal, however, conditions In Ne
braska are favorable and the outlook
Is hopeful. The firmer l getting

Contentions in Dispute
Lincoln, Nov. ;. (Hperlal Tolo
pram.r 1'otleral Judge T. C. Mungcr
lr.mied a temporary restraining, order
ugninMt the Nebraska Railway corn'
mission forbidding that body to put
Into effect a new rate schedule for
the Northwestern Hell Telephone com
pany which wns to become effective
December 1. Thl temporary ordor
will remain In effect until a hearing
can be arranKed before three Judges,
when the telephone company will dc
mund affirmative relief from the nl
Uged confiscatory rates now In effect.
Tho company has filed a proposed rata
schedule Willi the court aHklng for
approximately 25 per cent more rev
enue through ratea than Is obtainable
under existing schedule, and it is
through acceptance of this proposed
schedule It will seek affirmative relief.
B. M. Morsman, attorney for the
company, told Judge Munger that the
company had never been able to get
everything in tha way of rate In
creases It doolred from the commis
sion since 1918.
Revenue Increases.
"I have this to say in answer to
that statement," Hv O. Taylor, mem
ber cf tho commission, said. "The
revenue of the telephone company tn
Nebraska is $900,000 more annually
than in 1918. Not including the In
crease demand by the company sever
al months ago, the Increased revenue
would have been $1,200,000 annually."
Mr. Morsman questioned the right
of the commission to specify the per
centage to be set aside" for deprecia
tion. "That right was taken away under
the Esch-Cummlns bill which specified
such matters should be regulated by
the Interstate Commerce commission,
and our books afe kept in absolute ac
cord with that tribunal's rulings," Mr.
Morsman said.
Mr. Morsman also served notice on
Judge Munger that when a hearing
"for affirmative relief" was held the
company would prove a still greater
valuation on its holdings in Nebraska
than tho valuation shown In hearings
before the Nebraska Railway cora-
Lrolssion.
lomplaln of Expense,
Mr. Morsman complained that grant
ing new rates pending the "affirmative
relief hearing would cause much ex
pense and trouble in the company's
bookkeeping department.
In the next breath he told Judge
Munger that the temporary restrain
ing order he sought contemplated re
straining the commission from collect
ing new rates pertaining to private
telephones and permitting the tele
phone company to collect the new
rates pertaining to long distance and
private branch exchanges. The latter
ratea in the commission's order are
higher than the present while the pri
vate phone rates are lower.
"Just a moment ago, Mr. Morsman
was complaining of the added book
keeping necessary during the short
period Intervening until the main hear
ing and now he asks for a portion of
these rates to become effective." Mr.
Taylor said.
Mr. Morsman made no reply.
"No I can't do that for the com
pany," Judge Munger said. "AH I
will do is to grant an order enjoining
enforcement of the commission's rates
until the next hearing."
Continuing, Mr. Taylor gava. facts
and figures concerning the revenues
and costa of operation of the North
western Bell Telephone company in
Nebraska and In Itiwa, Minnesota and
the two Dakotas In which the com
pany operates.
State Expen.se Varies,
"In the four other states the aver
age per person exchange revenue of
this company is $24.45, while in Ne
braska, it Is $25.50," Mr. Taylor said.
"The average exchange expense of the
company In the other state I $; 60
while In Nebrankn. tha expense is
$27.85.
"In many of its department the
company' books show the expenne of
operation has been steadily Increasing,
while the same departrnonta operated
by the Lincoln Telephone and Tele
graph company and other companies
In Nebraska show a steady decrease.
"Te. but we get higher ratea In
certain states than we do In Nebras
ka." Mr. Morsman said.

Effort to Break
Filibuster on
Dyer Bill Fails
Democrats Stand Solid in
Move to Prevent Passage of
Anti-Lynching Measure
in Senate.'
Washington, Nov- 29. Determina
tion of senate republicans to wag "a
finish fight" in behalf of the Dyer
anti-lynchlng bill failed to weaken
democratic senators in their filibuster
against the measure and the senate ad
journed over the Thanksgiving holi
day with no end to the filibuster in
sight.
The adjournment found the senate
with less accompllHhed in five hours
than In Tuesday's four-hour session at
which the filibuster was inaugurated.
The republicans Tuesday succeeded
in getting approved the Journal of the
previous day's proceedings, but today
the reading of the Journal was barely
completed and Henator Harrison of
Mississippi, at tho end of the session,
stood ready to present nearly a dozen
amendments to the Journal if neces
sary to continue the filibuster.
The determination of the democrats
to continue abstruction until the re
publicans agreed to lay anlde the Dyer
bill was announced on the floor and
In private conversation. Their deter
mination, however, was no stronger
than that of the republicans In charge
of the measure. This was declared
by some tonight to point to a con
tinuation of efforts on both sides until
the extra seHsion adjourns sine die
Saturday night.

"I think the subject of military pre
paredness Is important; especially In
view of world condition as they exlrt
today," said the general. "Our e.
periences In the world war alone
phould teach every thinking American
that reasonable preparedness ia like a
national Insurance, as a compara.
tlvely few dollars spent in time of
peace will save millions of dollars and
thousands of lives in time of war.
"What I mean to say is, .that we
.should maintain only a small regular
army, but that we should educate a
large number of our young men to be
come officers and organize them Into
skeleton units to be expanded when
war comes."
Training Is Urged.
Asked for an expression on military
training for boys in general and in
educational institutions In particular,
he replied: "Entirely apart from the
advantage of training young men as
a military asset, it has been fully dem
onstrated that military training as a
benefit to the individual has no equal.
It teaches discipline and courtesy and
develops the physique, and it im
presses upon the boy the Importance
of his obligations as a citizen, and
thereby prepnres him for his duties
as a soldier should his services ever be
needed. Militarism In a democracy
like ours is entirely impossible."
"What do you think of the ship sub
sidy?" he was asked.
I'rges Ship Subsidy.
"When I think of our helplessness
in 1917, when we entered the" war with
out a merchant marine, unable to
transport our armies to the theater of
war, dependent on ships flying foreign
flags, I cannot too strongly urge that
steps be taken so that we may never
be caught in that unfortunate posi
tion again,'' he replied. "During the
last 25 or 30 years America has prac
tically supported foreign shipping In
payment of freights. We have sacri
ficed our Independence as a nation In
handling our own commerce and in
the operation of our army and navy.
and we can afford to do it no longer.
It is Impossible to control foreign
trado in competition with foreign
countries unless we control our ship-
ring that came our produce. Our
commerce has been and is today sub-
Jected to discrimination hlch limits
