Lincoln, Sept. 1.—Officials of the
Antisaloon league irt an open letter
to Governor Charles W. Bryan today
• urged him to select a successor to
the late Judge A. M. Post of Colum
bus, who is in sympathy with the
prohibition cause.
“No one would expect Governor
Bryan to appoint a man not tn sym
pathy with our statutes aaginat mur
der or stealing,” F. A. High, secre
tary of the league,* said. “And no
one should expect him to appoint a
man who always has been against
our prohibition laws.
“It makes no difference to * the
league whether the governor chooses
a democrat or republican, Just so
he is a man in sympathy with the
prohibition movement. I don’t care
to name anyone. Governor Bryan
knows the wet and dry men In this
state as well as we do.”
Too Much Wet Sympathy.
Following is the letter to Governor
Bryan:
•'The wets In Nebraska, as else
where, are still trying to discredit
prohibition. One of their favorite
methods la to break down enforce
ment of the law. Wherever possible
they seek to have men pot in office
who are in sympathy with their
cause. This is especially true with
officers of the courts.
"In order that ths prohibition
laws of our state may he properly
enforced it is vitally necessary that
the men who are chosen as judges
shall be In sympathy with these laws.
"We, therefore, in the name of the
dry forces of the state respectfully
petition that in selection of the suc
cessor to Judge A. M. Post of the
sixth judicial district, recently de
ceased, you consider such men only
as have a dry record and who are
known to he in sympathy with the
prohibition laws.
"Respectfully yours,
"E. G. KNOCK,
'Chairman Headquarters Committee.
“W. A. TYLT5R,
Secretary Headquarters Committee.
"F. A. HIGH,
"State Superintendent.”
Krysjt Praises All Applicants.
When Governor Bryan received a
,y of Uhls letter he said:
•'In part the intent of this letter is
(o create suspicion In the minds of
^__ the.public >as to the veracity of our
* kuvfrtg, something which is very la
mentable.
"The attorneys who have applied
for the position are all men of high
character. I don't believe one would
break his oath to uphold the laws of
our statute hooks. Neither do I be
lievs the men of high character and
xblllty who are urging appointment

"First, the fitbess of the candidate.
"Second, the geographical location

"Third, it is a non-political appoint
ment, and I will act in a representa
tive capacity, doing as nearly as pos
sible that which the people of that
district would do if the selection of
a successor were left to the ballot.”
During the morning George L.
Loomis. Fremont, former internal
revenue collector; Walter Phillips and
Otto Walter, county attorney of
Platte county, called on the governor
in support of the candidacy of Louis
Lightner of Columbus. Mr. Llghtfier
accompanied his friends into the gov

Hundreds of Americans nrs tour

This belief is bought out all the

trom the tracks at the signal of the
guard.
Nearly Hit by Motorist.
As we entered Lane cutoff, we
struck two torpedoes. Tom at once
closed his throttle a little and pro
ceeded cautiously as the reports
warned. On rounding a curve ' we
found a section gang repairing a
bridge. We crossed at about six
miles an hour. Then Tom opened it
up a trifle to make up 10 minutes
lost.
Kalston appeared and disappeared
to the south. On both sides stretched
rolling prairie covered with corn and
pasture growth.
Passing through Klkhorn, along the
little river, after another motorist
nearly ran lnto^lhe train at the
crossing, we sped past the station at
Waterloo and met the first close
shave.
Blow for Kvery Crossing.
By the time we hud regained our
brenlh we were nearing Valley. At
the whistle signal, 900 feet from the
grade crossing, Tom pulled the
whistle rope and the first blast split
the air. He had whistled f»,r all other
crossings, but he shouted that this
one was especially bad.
Four shrieks, two long and two
short at long Intervals, to allow for
the travel Vif sound were sounded.
The last one was an echo when the
engine was still 30 yajds from the
crossing.
A fraction of a second after the
last sound had dieft. away, a heavily
laden truck trundled out on to and
across the tracks.
A swish and a roar and we were
past, with barely six feet to spare.
Hanger Alt 'Round.
"It's things like that that get your
goat," yelled Tom. "If I should try
to stop thd train In a hurry I’m tak
ing a chance on sending the whole
outfit into the ditch, with a large loss
of life; if I don't stop, sometimes we
hit what's on the track."
For a time the Platte river wound
along to our left before we entered
Fremont,
Here, again, in spite of the
guards, two autos driven by men
and carrying women and children,
attempted to beat the train to a
crossing and then thought heller
of 11.
Motorists Bump Trains.
"If they’ll realize sooner they could
not make it,” shouted Kipncy In my
oar, "there wouldn't be near the num
ber of accidents. Do you know that
most accidents are caused by autos
running Into the trains, and not the
other way?”
As we rocked along over the fertile
Nebraska plains, sheep scurried away
in the distance at the deafening ehal
tenge of the whistle.
Ames was passed. Suddenly, with
the station at North Uend in sight, a
torpedo exploded. Tom closed ''the
throttle and applied the air brakes.
The panting monster came to a stop.
It had been a test to see If our engi
neer would obey the signal. He did.
"I don’t believe in taking any
chances,” he smiled, "there are plenty
darn fools who take my share."
Heat Train by 10 Feet.
The station at Rogers flashed past
us and again the crossing whistle was
sounded. This time It was a woman
driving. She had her machine almost
to a stop and I began to think that
she, at least, would take no chance
with the little girls at her side, when,
uuiek as a thought, she dashed across
the track scarcely 10 feet ahead of
the jjrow of that giant Bhip of the
steel rails.
"There goes another one." re
marked FSitist, the fireman, us he
threw more coal Into th« yawning
maw of the holler. "The ones Just
learning to drive are the worst.
They'd rather take a chance »n beat
ing the train than taking a chance
on killing their engine. Seems to me
they should rptlier kill their engine
than themselves."
Schuyler dropped behind, then Rich
land, and Columbus was in sight.
Made Return Trip.
Coming hack, C. A. Weir, division
safety agent of the I’nlon Pacific,
was with us. and J. Id Thomas, pilot
for 25 years, and Watter Cure of
four years' experience, attended to the
details. •
No less than six times In passing
the 300 grade crossings between Co
lumbus and Omaha did we have a
fright at the thoughtlessness of some
AUtolSt.
Tourists? Oh, no! Tourists are
the ones who are seldom struck,
for the reason that they follow the
railroads' advice of "Stop, look,
listen." We passed several at a
snfe distance oil both trips.
"If they did try to cross, we'd have
a nice time trying to stop this train,
the engine of which tilone weighs
17(1,000 pounds, going between 45 end
55 mll«» sn hour,” said Weir. "It's
easier for the motorists to halt."
Think of Something K.lse.
At Fremont a man with his family
In a small touring car chugged un
concernedly across the right of way,
seemingly unmindful that the rumb
ling, fire-breathing machine could
send him and his loved ones Into the
beyond in a flash of time.
"The great trouble Is,” said Weir,
as the Ak-Sar Ben field came Into
view as we came out on Eane cutoff,
with the unfinished spires of the ra
thedral of St. Cecelia in the distance,
“that your motorist is thinking about
something foreign to the occasion.
He hasn't got his mind on his driv
ing. He may see the tracks, hear
the/Thistle and yet keep right on, in
spite of the fact that he may be going
to his death. If those who drive
autos—not tourists, they look out for
danger—but the city people, who arc
used to the crossings, know they're
there and take them for granted,
would follow the advice of ‘Stop, look,
listen,’ you would see the list of rail
road casualties diminish rapidly.”

Or shall It be dignified clothes,

That is the question that Is troub

It's the question that Is puzzling
her as she sits by the piano in her
home at 3025 Arcadia avenue practis
ing her songs of the stage, and she
also thinks of it as she goes through
the steps of her dances “just to keep
in practice.”
“There is a fascination about the
stage and footlights that can't be
denied," she said last night, "but I
have found a pull in business that is
just about as strong. I don't mind
punching the time clock and eaily
hours compared to the hours I kept
on Broadway. 1 enjoy meeting real
men and women, who are all business,
especially the merchants from the
smaller towns and cities.
Each Has Its Thrills.
"I like to sell. I believe there is
just aiiyut as much fascination in

Coolidge Keeps
Watchful Eye on
Coal Situation
Understood to Be Preparing
Line of Action in Case
Pitichot's Final Ef
forts Fail.
By Universal Service.
Washington, Sept. 1.—President
Coolidge kept a sharp lookout on the
anthracite coal controversy today.
Frequently during the morning he
had his personal secretary, Edward
T, Clark, make inquiries of the press
associations for the latest news from
Harrisburg.
Chairman John Hays Hammond of
the United States Coal commission
was Trailed to the White House to
give the president also the benefit
of the information contained In the
commission's official reports from
the scene of Governor Plnchot's ef
forts to effect a settlement.
Is Still Hopeful.
Even after word came that the
miners and operators had adjourned
their conference on Governor
Pinchot’s peace proposals until next
Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Coolldge
was represented as still being hope
ful that the tletrp of hard coal pro
duction would continue , for only a
short period.
Chairman Hammond, after a half
hour conference with the president,
informed newspaper men that It was
not expected that the shutdown
would last more than a week or 10
days at the longest.
There were some Intimations to
day that President Coolldge Is map
ping out a definite line of action In
the event that all of Governor
Pinchot’s efforts fall and the strike
settles down to an enormous test
between the men and the mine own
ers. Chairman Hammond said noth
ing could be givsn out at this time
about the government's plans to deal
with the strike as a last resort.
Itlaine Report Withheld.
Mr. Hammond definitely -an
nounced that the commission's re
port, ordered by President Coolldge,
fixing the blame for the strike, will
not be presented until the negotia
tions finally have been broken off.

ed to -make any representations to
the Italian government.
This crisis arose at an oportune
time for Italy in one respect. Both
Great Britain and France want
Italy's support in dealing with the
other absorbing difficulty—the set
tlement of the German reparations;
both have good reasons to refrain
from making themselves appear cool
to Italy or Its real ruler. Hippies
aro visible on the surface of affairs
which Is characteristic of European
politics in delicate situations, and
sections of the press In both Paris
and London hint that the papers of
the two capitals haven't shown an
attitude toward Italy as friendly as
they might display.
League's Right Doubted.
Hr Associated Press.
Uncertainty as to whether the
Greeo-Italian conflict is really of
ficially Wore the league of nations
is causing much discussion tonlghv
among the delegations here for the
assembly. There is some disaiipolnt
ment that the council did not take
a more definite stand this afternoon
with respect to the situation than
merely postponing discussion of the
matter until next Tuesday and ex
pressing the hope that the two
countries would^commlt no acts of a
nature to aggravate the'sltuation.
On the other hand, there are many
delegates who hold that the league
council as an executive body acted
wisely in consenting to a brief ad
journment. ' In any case there is
considerable uncertainty, as the
council's action in no wise commits
it to intervention.
The delegates generally are of. the
opinion that the critical moment of
the league has arrived and that the
supreme test of It*'efficacy In pre
serving peace is furnished by the
Greek appeal, submitting the con
troversy to the league's decision.
Not# Made Puhllc.
The Greek note railing attention
of the league of nations to the Italo
Greck conflict and asking the earliest
action possible, under the provisions
of the league covenant, was made
public today. The note, addressed to
Secretary General Sir Rric Drum
mond, and signed by M. Politis, min
ister of foreign affairs of Greece
under the Venizeios regime, reads:
"A deplorable step lias just taken
place on Greek territory which has
caused consternation throughout tho
whole country and aroused a feeling
of violent an* unanimous Indignation
»mong the Greek people. The Italian
delegates on the commission appointed
by the ambassador's council to
establish a boundary line between
southern Albania and Greece, were
assassinated by unknown persons a
few miles from the Greek frontier.
"The moment we learned of this
regrettable act, the Greek govern
ment took energetic steps to d scover j
thg authors, and expressed to the
Italian government the profound fe
gret of the entire country. H w
ever, before any kind of proof was
forthcoming as to the nationality of
the agxressors and the motives and
circumstances of the crime, the
Italian government, through Its
legation in Athens, addressed to the
Greek government a note in which It
threw the moral responsibility and
implicit material responsibility for
the crime on the Greek government
and demanded such measures of satis
faction and reparation as in several
respects were incompatible with th9
sovereignity of the Hellenic state and
with the honor nf-thc nation.
Made Big Sacrifice.
"The Greek government replied by
a note in which it refuted the accusa
tion contained in the Italian note and
stated that It was quite unable to
meet the demands the not contained.
Animated, howeyr. by a keen desire
to close as soon as possible In the
general interest an Incident that
might seriously affect the good rela
tions between the two countries, the
Greek government offered to give
Italy satisfaction and reparations
which were enumerated In the Greek
reply.
'Tty this step, which will be rec
ognised to be extremely coiltiltotory,
Greece made the maximum sacrifices
compatible with the honor and #ovcr
iegnty of Greece. In forwarding its
reply to the Italian legation in Athens,
the Greek government informed the
latter that it had decided to plnce the
dispute before the council of th
league with a view to arriving at a
friendly and equitahle settlement.
"In acquainting you with these
fhets I have the honor by order of the
Greek government to beg you to
bring this question before the council
at the' earliest possible moment by
virtue of Articles 12 and 15 of the
covenant." __
