Union station greeted Dr. Chaim
Weizmann, world Zionist leader, on
his arrival here yesterday morning.
lie was the guest of honor at a
banquet at the Brandeis restaurant
last night and spoke at the Bran
dels theater following the dinner.
Hundreds of Jewish men and wom
en, carrying Zionist flags, joined in
a parade of automobiles which accom
panied Dr. Weizmann from the de
pot to Hotel Fontenelle.
Greeted by Mayor.
Mayor Dahlman. Rev. Frank G.
Smith and well known Omaha srieii- ,
tists were on hand to greet Dr. Weiz
mann, who is connected with the
chemistry department of the -Univer
sity of Manchester. England.
Dr. Weizmann said that the estab
lishing of a homeland of which refuge
for Jews will lessen the European
relief now being carried on.
"The European relief work is won
derful,” he said, "hut we are only
furnishing temporary relief, permit-!
ting tir it people to ne exposed to1
the same copditions which made them
refugees.
‘During the past two and a half
years, since the Zionist movement
really began to gain headway, more
than 30.000 Jews have moved to Pales
tine from various countries of the
world,” Dr. Deizmann said. * “The
Jewish population there is about
100.000. The country, if properly de
veloped, will accommodate between
2,300.000 and 3.000,000 persons.”
"The Zionist movement is important
to American Jews because Palestine
will become a community of credit to
Jews of all the world," said Dr. Weiz
mann. "There will be the center of
Jewisii culture, learning, education
and religion. From Palestine this
knowledge will radiate to all parts of
the globe."
Dr. Weizmann, with s ware of his
hand, almost a rebuke to the news
paperman interviewing him, denied
that a huge number of American
Jews will move to Palestine.
"But a few will go finni the United
States,” he said. Those who do go
will he moved only by sentiment.
Palestine's importance will be a
haven of refuge for the persecuted
Jews of Europe."
To Harness Jordan.
Farming, he said, will be one of the
; chief occupations. Manufacturing
^tlso w'dl be carried on. He said that
] a mammoth hydro electric plant is to
I be built on the banks of the Jordan
; liver near huge waterfalls.
Dr. Weizmann Is making a tour of
• the country in the Interest* of the
I Zionist movement. Hundreds i,f Jew

Special l>lN|iat(‘h to The Omaha Her.
Lincoln, April '2fi.—Passage of the
Reed-H askings plan of revision of
slate activities was insured in tile up
per branch of the legislature, when
the senate advanced it to third lead
ing over a determined opposition
waged by the solid democratic min
ority.
The Hastings committee on miscel
laneous subjects dug the Reed Hast
ings bill up last evening, and placed
it on general file, t'ndcr the Reed
Hastings bill tbe governor is given
tlie choice of appointing secretaries or
of having the departments under elec
tive constitutional officers. The bill
takes away appointive power from the
governor for employes In the various
departments and places it in the de
partment heads.
Charge Waste of Time.
The democratic opposition first
made its fight on tbe ground that
the lower house would not accept the
Reed Hastings plan of revision, and
then rang in Governor Bryan. It was
a waste of the legislature's time to
be playing with it. they said.
After a motion to kill had been de
feated. with a straight party lineup
of 2# to J1. Senator Larkin alone vot
ing with tlie democratic minority, the
democrats opened ijp a barrage of
amendments, intended to keep the bill
jin the committee of tlie whole until
the tune for final adjournment ar
rived.
"This bill can serve im other pur
pose than to stir up political strife,"
Senator Banning, minority leader, de
clared.
Can Fulfill Pledge.
Saunders. 'Viltse and others of the
majority, answering him, declared
that the bill permitted the democrats
to fulfill party pledge, by transfer
ring the activities to elective tcmstl
tutioiial officers. Senator Hastings,
one of its authors, declgwfd that it {
was precisely what Governor Bryan
had promised the taxpayers.
On the vote to advance the bill to
third reading, two republicans lined

proposed consolidation of railroads in
to a few great systems will “unduly

filed by Clyde M Reed, chairman of
the Kansas public utilities commfs
sion, at the opening of the Interstate
Commerce commission’s hearing on
the proposed rail merger.
The petition further states that “No
economies will be effected by the con

hn&ncial benefits which it claimed I
would be derived and their effect upon ’
rates to the public by the common
carriers.
“"The proposed plan is extremely \
theoretical and is not supported by
popular foundation.” the statement
says. "No tangible evidence 'con- !

be beneficial has been produced.”

President Harding in his contentlo*
that the L'tilted States should- partici
pate In the permanent court of inter
i.ationfil Justice. KJihu Hoot tonight
told the American Society of Inter
national Law that the question pis
-ented hy the president’s message tc
the senate was really only a question
of moral support.
"The amount of contribution to
wards the support of the court to ha
determined by our own congress
would be negligible asserted Mr
Hoot. "We undertake to do nothing
and to give nobody authority or
power to do anything to us. The
question is merely whether we shall
give our moral approval to the es
tablishment of the same kind of court
which our government has been urg
ing for a generation.”
In addressing the society, of which
he is prescient, at it« 17th ar.r.ua
meeting. Mr. Hoot described at length
the gi nes s and nature of the world
court, his reasons for believing it su
perior to the old Hague tribunal, the
clear distinction which he said shook!
be made between the league of ra
tions. the development of interna

what he heiil to tie the fallacy in
reasons advanced why this cour.tiT
should not support the court.
