Alaska Included in Trip lly Asiioriatrd l*re**. Washington, April 1*.—Plans for President Harding’s western trip this summer have developed to a point where a detailed itinerary is under consideration at the White House. Thus far a dozen cities in the cen tral and western states have been given more or less infinite position on the list of places where important addressed are to be delivered. Named m the older in which the president expects to visit them, they are: St. Louis, Kansas City, Denver. Salt Lake City, Los Angeles. San Francisco, Seattle. Portland. Helena. Minneapolis, Chicago and Detroit. Dilii rs may be added later when ii become* possible to select exact dates and make tip precise schedules nf have!. Originally Mr. J larding had planned to deliver in the neigh boihood of L'O speeches, and he still believes lie could carry out that pro gram without overtaxing his physical strength. Some of his advisers have urged that he confine himself to a lesser nunib« r, however, particularly iu view* of the fact that he expects to extend the trip to Alaska for an inspection of the detailed problems of administration there. ' Expects to Sturt .tune Hi. The sou trip to the northern terri tory will be made, tinder the present plan, between the-president's visit to Seattle mid that to Portland. Just how long it will lake still is a ques tion which makes tho selection of exact speaking dates Impossible, tt has been established definitely- how ever. that tile trip westward w\ll be gin about mid-June, probably on Sat urday, June 16. , The president is understood to have decided to make his first speech west of the Missippl where he has not gone since he entered tho White House more than two years ago. In St. lends and Kansas City it is expected he will sound the keynote of his mes sage to the west. latter addresses are to develop in dividual topics of discussion, such as the administration proposal to en ter the international court, the rail road problem, a,id the tilts of the new tariff.

Jo Ms four speeches on the coast It is likely lie will ectnphosize what 'he arms conference agreements have meant to that section, while at Min neapolis he is excepted to explain to the farmers what has lieen done to carry out the program of agricul tural relief he first outlined at the -Minnesota States fair in his first formal campaign speech away from the front porch. The president's fihend*. however, say lie will take great care to avoid turning his trip into a political swing round the circuit. Regarding himself as accountable to the nation as a whole it is said, he will endeavor to explain as fully as possible the things M has done as president and seek from the whole people advice and guidance for the future. An attempt will bo made, in view of the length of the trip, to avoid im promptu speeches from the rear plat form. The prospect that some rear platform speeches will have to 1 e made is one of the arguments use 1 by those who a,re urging lint "" ..Mi tions he made lo the present list of 12 formal addresses. Shoulyl addition* be made, it is p"« sible that some citV in the president's home state of Ohio will lie selected for the final stopover of the trip.

Wall Street Bomb Story Tallies With Facts, Burns Says Secret S«'r\ice Chief Believes Statements Regarding New \ ork Disaster, Made by Convict Are Truth. l.os Angeles, April 18.—The stae ment o fHerbert Wilson, former evan gelist. alleged mail robber and con victed murderer, that he provided the explosive for tlie bomb exploded in Wall street. New York city, Septem ber 17, 1920, is logical and may be true. William ,i. Burns, chief of tlie bureau of Investigation of the Depart ment of Justice, declared today, fol lowing a conference here with Wil son. -* "Wilson tells a straightforward and logical story," Burns said. "While it is true that tlie Department of Jus tice has closed the investigation of th<» Wall street bombing, having learned that the parties responsible for it are now in Russia, Wilson's story could well fit in with the facts as we al ready know them. We will start im mediately checking up the details as he gave them to us If our investi gation proves Wilson's statements to lie true, and I know of no reason now why it should not, we will know the source of the explosive that went into the bomb." Burns Changes Opinion. Burns, who none here from Florida to interview VVileon, de. lined to make known any of the information Wilson gave him. Before going Into the con ference. which lasted more than an hour. Burns expressed the opinion that Wilson was “talking for his own benefit “ Following the interview . Burns said he had (hanged that opin ion ami believed Wilson was sincere in telling his story and not making the statements to gain favors. Wilson made statements to Sheriff William I Traeger about two weeks ago that tie hud furnished the ex plosive and manufactured the bomb which was used in the Wall street bombing. Tin bomb, he declared, was made at his home here in August, 1020, and was sold for the purpose, he thought, of bring used by safe blow ers in covering up their work.

Lincoln, April IS.—Fifteen minutes before the senate began consideration of the confirmation of \V. H. Smith of Seward as stale tax commissioner. W. II. Osborne, present commissioner, tendered his resignation. The entire membership of the senate, excepting Larkin and Illian, voted to confirm Smith, the appointee of Governor Bryan. In his letter of resignation directed to the governor and state senate, Osborne stated that with (lie governor determined to have a man of his own choosing as state tax commissioner, and as he (Osborne) was not the gov ernor's choice, he felt it would be ut terly impossible to work in har mony with the governor and do his duty toward the state and taxpayers.

The majority members were Heed and Wilkins, re publicans. Majority Opinions. The report stated, in effect that when Charles \V. Pool, secretary of stair, and Smith weren't holding po litical offices they engaged in real estate business together.

In connection with the charge’ih.it Smith drew up the famous Bryan *4, 000. 000 deficiency statement, the com mittee reported that Supth absolutely denied being responsible for the fig tires placed before the public, when a subsequent investigation of a com mittee revealed, it is claimed, that the Bryan claims were false. The committee pointed out that Smith, a* editor of a newspaper, ad mitted writing untrue editorials on state politics furthering the candidacy of Bryan for governor. The commit tee stated that witli these facts developed, it would leave the matter w ith the senate body. The committee called on Governor Bryan this morn ing. but no mention of this \ i-it or the result of it was made in the t port. Purcell Makes Report. A minority report by Purcell, d*mo era* was read.

Chiropractors Leave Capitol as Bill Passes Iowa School Wins Victory Over Lincoln Institution— omen Lobbyists Play Hip Hole. —-- — m Special nikpatrh to The Omaha flee. Lincoln, April 18.—Adjournment of the legislature at an early date look ed more hopeful today, when a dozen good-looking female chiropractic heal ers left the state house after two mouths in state house corridors. The reason for the exit of these dainty lobbists was the fact that the famous chiropractor bill had bee dis posed of, when the house accepted the senate amendments. Here's the story of the bill: Lincoln has a chiropractic school and (here is onp in Iowa. Bared Krom Slate For years, ho the graduates of the Iowa sc hool asserted, a law has been in existence in Nebraska w hich make* certain qualifications necessary to practice in Nebraska which cou’d only l»e met by graduation from tho Lincoln school. Graduates of the Lincoln school le rlared that change in the present law spelled lowering of qualifications. The chiropractor bill, an introduced in the house was arranged so Iowa graduates could practice in Nebraska. The lew a folks had tw o tnen for their lobbyist". The Lincoln people had two pretty women chiropractors representing them. When the hill came up for consideration in tho house, composed 100 percent of men, they amended the law so that the Lincoln people won a complete victory. \\ omen Lobbyists Obtained They the bill a* * c e. By that tuna the Iowa faction be ante convinced that log', from fem inine lips might aid, and they sent half a dozen women chii opractortc to Lincoln Tho Lincoln faction in creased its number of women lobby ists to six. Members -f the house and senate admitted their minds were open to conviction and for tvec-ks the pretty chiroprac tors worked by the hoiy In tlie halls attempting to adjust the minds of members to their way of thinking. Tlie result was amendments attack ed in the senate were victory fur the low.i faction. The minds of house members apparently had been read justed to see the argument in a new light. Icetause on a close roll call, the Iowa faction won in the house when senate amendments to tlie bill were accepted. The number of members who disap peared when t'ne roll was called on this bill was record breaking.
