Says State Regulation Futile. Throughout his campaign this fall Mr. Howell, it] every speech, declared that state regulation of telephone and atreet railways is futile and their rates of service have continuously soared, while they have operated under the National Railway com in le sion. ■'Public competition Is the only cure for monopoly, which persist in increasing rates and squeezing from the public every cent the traffic will bear,'1 Mr. Howell asserted in all liis addresses during tlie campaign. Psychological Moment. Mmbers of the legislature asserted here tonight that Mr. Howell's plan of putting In a eompeting telephone plant In Omaha would he extraordi narily popular at this time, duetto the faet that tho Northwestern Bell Tele phone company had persisted in de manding rate Increases this year at a time when all other public utility commodities wi re selling either at the old prices or were being reduced. Mathers Selected Speaker of House (Continued From Fuse One 1 seeking to arrange for an organiza tion of the legislature friendly to their interests. It then continued: Resolution on Corporations. “Should nny member of this cau cus feel that corporation influences have prevailed In any way for the Interest of nominees for any office or committee, he shall no- lie bound by the action of the republican caucus.” Passage of this resolution assured participation In the caucus of a score of republican representatives who were reported to bo considering a bolt. The resolute n was considered to re lieve them from being bound to sup port committee recommendations by ! the committee on committees when these are mnde next week, if they con sider any such appointments to he procured by corporate Influence. Fifty-four of the 57 republican leg islators participated in tho taucus. Republicans in Caucus. Republicans went Into caucus fol lowing a day of jockeying on the part of Howell and those opposed to hint, j In the morning Howell remained in the lobby of the Lindell hotel and | shook hands with friends. In the afternoon he went to his ; room and in a few minutes Robert C. tirnesedow, former Douglas : county legislator, breezed Into the lobby. “I will remain In Lincoln through- | out the session, working strictly in the interests of the people,” Mr. Druesedow anounced. "My principal efforts will be aimed at the passage of an Omaha muny light hill and a tight on a reported attempt of private ice companies in j Omaha to introduce a bill which will ] ruin the municipal ice plant.” Corrals Howell Men. AA'ith his explanation that he would lobby in the interests of Howell end- j ed, Mr. Druesedow proceeded to cor- | ral solons looked upon as men friend ly to Howell Ideas and led 22 of them j to Howell's room. There the Howell plan to fight the alleged attempt of corporate influ j ences to control the lower house at tonight's caucus was unfolded and re calcitrant republicans who had de clined to sign the republican caucus call, marched from the Howell room to the lobby where they found J. Retd Green, Lancaster republican, and signed the caucus call he was circu lating. The action of the Second district re publicans in Vhelr caucus in Omaha In selecting George Dyball and Tom Dy sart as members of the committee on sommittees admittedly galled Howell Worse than any speakership candi dacy. Seek New Caucus. Howell's friends declared in advance of the caucus that republicans must either force Second district republi cans to hold anotlifr caucus and se lect one member of the committee suitable to Howell or make It plain to whoever becomes out state mem bers of the committee on committees that when they select members of the cities and town commutes, cor poration committee and irrigation committee, their membership must be composed of as many Howell men as 'men looked upon as anti-Howell mem bers. A majority of Howell’s bills proba bly will be referred to those commit tees. The Douglas county members who were present at the meeting in Howell's room were Kd Smith and Herbert C. Tlmme. Both declared that while they attended the Omaha caucus, action taken there was not satisfactory to them. Ends In Failure. The attempt of Harry M. Lux, Ne braska manager of the Nonpartisan league, to hold a meeting In the after noon for the purpose of forming a fnrm bloc to force republicans to se lect a house organization on nonpar tisan lines, ended in failure. Not a soul appeared at the place named for the meeting.

Ambassador to England Returns as Messenger Boy Colonel Harvey in America to Report to Chiefs and Await Orders—Says Britain Will Pay. New York, Dec. 31—(By A. P.)— Col. George Ilarvey. American am bassador to Great Britain, who called himself a messenger boy, returned home today on the storm-tossed liner Berengarla, to report to Washington Information he was asked to get from London. "I will not and cannot grant an interview,” he told newspaper men, "but I will talk a bit informally with you.” “I am merely coming home to re port to my editor-in-chief and my managing editor," he said, "and am really nothing but a messenger boy. 1 can say this, however, the present Knglish government plans to pay its debt to the United Slates. But it is a delicate job. It will require very careful handling. Big Financial Transaction. "I believe *the men on the Amer ican mission and those named on the British mission, which is now en route here, will reach a decision if anyone can. They face the biggest financial transaction the world has ever known, but they face it as the best men that could possibly han dle it." Colonel Harvey decPlrod he was a good sailor and enjoyed the trip al though the Berengarla encountered heavy weathei almost all day. He has made 44 crossings, he said, but this was the worst of his experience. And he discussed silk breeches and their significance at court, although not quite that way. "Before the war,” he said, "Amer ican ambassadors at St. James were both lonesome and conspicuous at court functions. There were ambas sadors of all sorts near them, and all wore uniforms which were, to say the least, resplemlent. There was gold lace aplenty. But the American, rep resenting a democracy, was attired in common every day dress clothes. Conditions Change. “Then came the results of the war The monarchies began to tumble. Along came more republics. And American ambassadors have lost the distinction, if it was that, of being the only civilians at court. At the last function I attended, I was not lone some in full dress clothes. There were 15 others—and the Austrian and German representatives were dressed as I was. Colonel Harvey said he had no in tention of making any speeches here. His mission, he said, was to go to Washington when they wanted him, ti ll what he knew, then await orders. Tile ambassador's last word to the reporters was that economic condi tions in England were growing bet ter every day. Col. George Harvey Spends New Year's in Seclusion New York, Jan. 1.—Col.

Dailey Declares There W ill Be No Drastic Change in Policy of the Store. — J. F. Bailey, new general manager for the Burgess-Nash company, ar rived in Omaha Monday morning, and will take active charge of the con cern today. ‘‘There will be no drastic change in the policy of the store, except that we are going to popularize it. We want to make our store an Interesting place for everyone to buy,” said Mr. Bailey. "X feel that the responsibility of a purchase rests with the merchant, both from a standpoint of price and quality. It is the business of the buyer to know where to procure merchandise at the lowest price, quality considered, and give the public the benefit of his knowledge of the markets. This knowledge in the fu ture must prevail In every depart ment of the Burgess-Nash company store. Plan Bargain Basement. “Plans are under way for a bargain basement, which will lie entirely divorced from the upstairs depart ments, and placed In charge of a special merchandise manager. It Is to be based on a profit so modest that no difficulty should he experienced in supplying dependable merchandise at the very lowest prices. “If possible I want to make every one of the 200,000 population of Omaha and surrounding territory a customer of the Burgess-Nash com pany store. It Is my desire to make it a popular store, one that will ap peal to all, without relinquishing any of the valued trade It now en.loys.” Add Furniture Department. A furniture department will be added to tho store, and will occupy part of the fourth floor. .1. Henry Steiner, one of the most successful furniture men in tho market, accom patned Mr. Dailey to Omaha yester day in an advisory capacity. John Steiner, his son, who has been con nected with Karpin brothers of Chi cago for the last 12 years will have charge of the new department. "We know the market, and have our hands on the public pulse a3 to the demands of the Omaha people,” said Mr. Dailey. "When W. G. Col ling was in Chicago recently he sug gested to me the advisability of open ing up a furniture department nnd is delighted that we can broaden his Hcope by supplying his clientele with furniture from the best markets in the world.” Plans No Changes. When asked if there would be any changes in the present force, Mr. Dailey replied, ”1 am well satisfied that we can do a business that will be entirely satisfactory to the public and to the stockholders with our pres ent department managers nnd sales force. Mr. T. P. Hedmo'nd will re main vice president and J J. Hasley merchandise manager, with full au- ! thority over the buyers in the pur- | chase and selling of merchandise. He will also be in charge of advertising and display departments. Mr. Moss, recently appointed superintendent, will havo charge of the personnel of the store and the service department.” Mr. Dailey severed his connections with the Fair store of Chicago last Saturday night, after rounding out 25 years there, entering as a stock boy and leaving with a title as senior merchandise manager.

At one time I Mr. Amsberry was a Broken Bow I newspaper man i Western Roads Blame Eastern for Congestion I. C. C. to Investigate Alleged Holding of Cars in East— 1922 Sets Reeord in Loadings. By GKORGE F. At THIKR. WmOilnKton Correspondent The Omaha lire. Washington, Jan. 1.—(Special Tele gram.)—Railroads, struggling with freight congestion in the mlddlewest where loadings of agricultural prod uta continue to break all records, are appealing to the Interstate Commerce commission to retrieve their eqtilp ment which they charge remains in i eastern territory. The commission's determination to investigate condition of car equipment Is an outgrowth of ; this situation and is described as ; "meaning business" so far as remedy i lies with the commission. The trans ! portation act gives the commission uower to compel renewal of adequate and safe equipment up to tho point of not driving a common carrier out of business completely. i He campaign of elimination be tween western and eastern roads be gan during the strike period, but lias increased the last few weeks. Some time ago, officials of the American Railway association ordered western cars held In the east sent westward, but the result has not been wholly satisfactory. Western roads charge that many eastern roads have failed to settle their shopmen’s strike, with the result that rolling stock conditions are extremely bad, to which the east ern roads reply that not all western roads have cleaned up on the strike, pointing an especially accusing fin ger at the Rock Island. Another Attack. The railroads are being shot at from another direction as a result of the car shortage, Senator Johnson 9f California having introduced an amendment to the transportation act to the effect no dividends shall he de clared by roads against which car shortage charges lie. This remedy is not helieved effective by transporta tion experts, however, as many of the roads have purchased equipment a year ago which never has been on the lines of the purchaser. A more serious attack will be in cluded in the preliminary report of the coal commission which will fix a large share of responsibility upon the railroads' lack of equipment for failure to handle the coal supply. Western senators daily are bombard ing the Interstate Commerce com mission with complaints concerning congestion in their territory. Western roads reply that they could handle the situation if they could secure their proper share of equipment from the eastern roads. The test to which tho roads are being subjected by ttie agricultural regions is made plain in a report on car loadings made public by the American Railway association. Record Loadings. More cars were loaded with agricul tural products In 1922. tho report says, than ever before in tile history of the railroads. "Loading of grain and grain prod ucts alone," the report adds, ‘‘in creased approximately 7 per cent over 1921, when such shipments were the heaviest on record. There was an increase In 1922 of approximately 33 per cent over 1920 in the number of cars loaded with grain and grain products. "For BO weeks in 1922 complete reports show 2,370,625 cars loaded with grain and grain products. This was an increase of 144,780, compared with the same period the previous year and an increase of 585,634 cars over the corresponding period of 1920 "Cars loaded with livestock during 1922, according to incomplete reports, increased approximately 9 per cent over 1921 and increased approxi mately 5 per cent over 1920. Coal Kails Off. “A new record in the number of cars loaded with ail commodities cx cept coal, also was made in 1922, when there was an increase of more than 15 per cent over 1921, and nearly 3 per cent over 1920. Loadings of all commodities, other than coal, amounted to 35,074,090 cars from January 1 last year to December 16. This was an increase of 4,680,720 cars compared with the corresponding period in 1921 and an increase of 938,188 cars compared with the cor responding period in 1920. “Up to December 16, last year, 7,093,638 cars had been loaded with coal, compared with 7,734,627 during the corresponding period in 1921 and 9,731,796 during the same period in 1920. "The railroads in 1922 also moved more merchandise and miscellaneous freight, including manufactured prod ucts, than ever before in history, there having been an increase of ap proximately 14 per cent over 1921 Loading of merchandise and mlscel Igneous freight up to December 16 totaled 26,252,434 caifs, an increase of 3,145,615 cars over the same period in 1920.” President and Mrs. Harding Spend Quiet IN(W Year’s Day Washington, Jan. 1.—it was a quiet N’ew Year’s day for the president and Mrs. Harding. Tho White House doorkeepers were kept busy receiving cards of diplo mats and officials and many boxes of flowers were received from friends who recollected Mrs. Harding's con valescence from her recent Illness. The* chief social event of the day, however, was the diplomatic break fast given by the secretary of state and Mrs. Hughes at the Pan-Ameri can union. In accordance with cus tom this was a state affair, the dip lomatic. guests appearing In their brilliant uniforms.

America's Representatives V ic* torious Over Foreigners in Golf ami Tenuis—Other Laurels to Americans. Now York, Jan. 1.—Tun close i £ i another year of keen international competition in the world of sport finds the United States with well j established supremacy in a large ran jorlty of the varied fields of rivalry. The records for 1922, where the caliber of competition has been suf ficiently high to afford a real test of superiority, show America triumph ant in 11 contests, more than all the rest of the contending nations com bined. England, which figured as this country’s principal rival, has (hrec victories to its credit, while Canada, Argentina and France each captured one championship. Called on in most Instances lo de fend its laurels, the United States maintained its supremacy in men's tennis, women’s swimming and pro fessional billiards; scored five vic tories In six international golf con tests, triumphed twice in yachting and once in rowing. England swept to the fore In men’s and women's I track and field sports and accounted ] for tho other golf victory, a meager showing where tho British lion in former years ruled the royal and ancient heights supreme, France was victorious in women’s tennis; Argentina’s spectacular riders dashed to polo triumphs here and in Eng land, while Canada retained the fish ing schooner championship. Defended Davis Cup. England came through with flying colors in one of tho first international ; tests of the year, when in April Cam bridge university’s distance runners defeated the University of Pennsyl vania's picked quartet in a four-mile relay race at London. Oxford uni versity, the third entry, finished last. Britain’s women athletes also tri umphed on track and field by decis ively winning the first real Interna tional meet for feminine stars, held at Paris in August. England scored 50 points, the United States 31, nnd France 29. The meet constituted the first organized attempt to put women's track and field sports on an international footing and has been followed by rapid development and interest, especially in this country where the Amateur Athletic union has taken direct control of feminine competition and a newdy launohed National Women's Track A. A. has undertaken interschnlastic and inter collegiate supervision. The United States successfully de fended its possession of the Davis Cup, emblematic of the world's team tennis championship, defeating by four matches to one the Australian challengers, survivors of an original Held of 13 nations. Milo, Suzanne Langlen, sensational French racquet star, established without question her supremacy by vanquishing Mrs. Mol la Bjurstedt Mallory, American cham pion, In straight sets tn the flnal match of tho International women's tournament at Wimbledon, England. Victorious in Tennis. America’s net triumphs during the year were due mainly to the Indi vidual brilliancy of William T. Tilden and William H. Johnston. Together they accounted for all of America's Davis cup victories, each defeating Gerald Patterson and James O. An derson, while Tilden and Richards lost to Patterson and O'Hara Wood in the doubles. Tilden, thrice national champion, did not defend the world’s title ha won In 1920 and 1921 at Wimbledon, but In Patterson he conquered the 1922 victor in the English classic, besides emerging at the top In the national singles at Philadelphia from a field which Included a formidable array of International stars. America added to Its triumphs with close to a clean sweep on the links in the traditional struggle with Eng land. Emulating Jock Hutchison’s 1921 victory, Walter Hagen, former 1’nited States open title holder, cap tured the British open crown, tho first time an American home-bred turned the trick. Making the event close to a rout for the British clan, Hutchison tied George Duncan for second place, while Jim Barnes land ed fourth position.
