Hugh es Has
Free Hand
in Debt Plan
Isolationists1 Power Nil, but
Move Is Seen as Chance for
Johnson to Seek
Presidency.
Envoy Tool of Secretary
Ily Murk Sullivan.
Washington, Oct. 2:*.—The Hughes
plan, and all that .Mr. Hughes has
In mind as a present step toward
action about Europe, can be accom
plished by him within his functions
of secretary of stale without embar
rassment from tne senate, and there
fore without embarrassment from the
irreconcilables and Isolationists of his
own party. In this respect it Is un
like the world court for internatioal
justice, unlike several other steps to
ward international co operation as to
which his hands are tied by the sen
ate and the senate committee on for
eign relations.
But while the irreconcilables are
powerless to interfere with Mr.
Hughes officially, their reaction to
(#is present step is one of hostility not
less Intense than they have shown to
every similar attempt since and in
cluding the league of nations. De
velopments within the few dnys since
Jir. Hughes published bis note, make
it almost certain that the friends of
Hiram Johnson, who have been bring
ng the strongest kind of pressure
on him to throw his hat in the ring
for the republican presidential nomi
nation, have found in the present
episode the means of bringing their
hopes to fruition.
It will not be surprising if Hiram
Johnson is a candidate against Cool
idge for the republican nomination
within the next three weeks. It will
be surprising if he is not. What
Johnson and hi* friends needed is an
issue to furnish a justification for
bis announcing his candidacy. His
friends had hoped that this issue
would I>e found in President Cool
idge’s annual address to congress In
December. While they held this as
a hope, they held it also as a fear,
because the date of this annual mes
sage on the assembling of congress
in December will be just a little late
for the announcement of Johnson's
< andidacy to be made with the best
advantage.
Under the circumstances. It can be
^■tcen ns almost certain that the de
l*?tiopnients of last week will be made
the basis for formal activity on tho
part of Johnson's friends within a
very short time. They have been
piqued and disturbed that Gov.
Gifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania was
about to find in prohibition enforce
ment an issue Justifying the first
opposition to Coolidge's nomination,
before Johnson was able to find one
in the field of foreign relations. As
things stand today It Is extremely
probable that both Pinchot and John
son will be In the field in a formal
sense within a short time.
And once these two are in uie
field several others will follow.
Related to Mi. Hughes’ affirmative
gesture toward Europe is dissatis
faction with the appointment of ex
Senator Kellogg of Minnesota to he
ambassador to Great Britain. The ir
reconrilables and the isolationists
hold this post to be a key position
on the firing line In the fight against
what they call foreign entanglements.
They want this key position to be
held at all times by a man who shall
he no less irreconcilable than Colonel
Harvey has been.
With Senator Kellogg in ttds posi
tion they feel ttial tlie attitude of
the last two years will be reversed
and that the constant leaning of the
administration ambassador to Great
Britain will now he in the direction
of co-operatfon rather than isolation.
For this reason there is strong dis
appointment over Kellogg s selection.
fclikU disappointment will be expressed
in/the senate when Mr. Kellogg's
name comes up for confirmation, but
it will not be sufficiently strong to
prevent the ratification of the ap
polntment.
The opposition will come partly
from the irreconcilable* on account of
Mr. Kellogg’s affirmative attitude
toward Europe, and partly from the
radicals, like Senator hafollette. be
cause of Mr. Kellogg’s conservative
attitude on public affairs generally.
Probably the determining Influence In
the selection of Mr. Kellogg was the
desire to find somebody, from the
west.
As things have been In the present
administration all our ambassadors
have been chosen from eastern states.
The most western of them has lieen
our ambassador to France, Mr. Her
rick, who comes from Ohio. Tbs
fact, coupled with the present pre
ponderance of the east and particu
larly Massachusetts In the high places
of the government generally has
caused dissatisfaction among western
republicans. But while Senator Kcl
logg Is satisfactory in (his geographi
cal senso, he Is not satisfactory in a
political sense otherwise.
The appointment of Senator Kel
logg. instead of placating the spirit
of Insurgency among ihe western re
(publicans, Intensifies it. Senator Kel
logg la ope of the Individual republi
cans against whom I lie Insurgent
(sentiment in the west has directed it

Accident Discov crcd 1»\ (Chance
by Passing Autoists—Ma
chine Plunged Off Bridge.
Reynolds. Neb., Oct. 29.—When
William Baldwin and Bob Bryant,
with two young women of this place,
were enroute to a dance at Mahaska,
Kan., just south of here, they ob
served a broken railing on a bridge
over a deep ravine south of here as
their automobile was crossing the
bridge. They stopped to investigate
and found an auto at the bottom of
the gully, oveturned and wrecked,
and Miss Mary Fye, Mahaska young
woman, pinned beneath.
She was stunned but appeared to he
uninjured, and stated that she had
driven a brother to Fairhury from
their home at Mahaska, to catch «
train, and was on the way back,
when income unaccountable manner
the car became uncontrollable wlten
on the middle of the. bridge, went
through the railing and dropped to
the ditch below, alighting on the
radiator and throwing Miss Fye out.
When the car turned on over it hap
pened that nothing struck the young
woman to crush her. She was taken
to her home. The car was beneath
the bridge and could not be seen from
above, the broken railing being the
only sign of the accident which could
be seen from the road.

Asks Tariff

Competition Is Reported
St. Paul. Minn., Oct. 29—An ap
peal to President Coolidge and Min
nesota congressmen to increaso by
about 50 per cent the tariff on Amer
ican wheat was sent today after a
conference of leading agriculturists
in this state, and Governor Preus.
"In view of the fact,” said a tele
gram dispatched afrer the confer
ence, “that the wheat now in the
farmers’ hands is speedily moving to
market at prices iielow what it cost
to produce it, and furlher that for
eign wheat is now arriving on the
Minenapolla market in competition
with wheat of the northwest. There
fore. be it
" Flesolved. That we endorse the
position aireadj' taken by various
farm organizations of the north
west, that the tariff on wheat be
technically increased 50 per cent and
that we urge the president of the
United States to use the authority
conferred upon him by congress to
bring about this protection to the
farmers of the northwest."
The telegram was sent after th*
conference had discussed a proposal
to sell 50,000,000 bushels of American
wheat to. European countries, includ
ing Germany.
The proposal of President Coolidge
to organize a commission to stimu
late foreign purchases of American
grown wheat hue met with opposition
by farm organizations throughout tlie
northwest. This opposition Is based
on the contention that such s plan,
under the present tariff, would work
to the detriment of the American
farmer and to the benefit of the Ca
nadian wheat grower. This idea was
expressed today by those at the con
ference.

Sees Peace

Polish Military Leader Cites
Propress of Country, Since
^ ar, at Omaha C. of C.
Luncheon.
Charles Ray Also Talks
A pi- i for co-operation between the
Polish and American chambers of com
merce watt made by Gen. Josef Halier,
commander-in-chief of the Polish
armies, at the public affairs commit
tee luncheon In his honor yesterday
noon at the Omaha Chamber of Com
merce.
Reconstruction of Polish industry
and agriculture since the war formed
the principal theme of his address on
Poland Today." General Haller, a
swarthy, stately little man with a
black goatee, read his address in Eng
lish. which he understands perfect
ly and speaks well but with an ac
cent. On being questioned at the
close of his paper he relapsed Into
French.
At the close of the world war, said
the general, Poland was left absolute
ly devastated by three armies which
had marched back and forth gver its
territory again and again, carrying
destruction in their wake. Since the
armistice was signed, Poland has been
engaged in four wars of its own. It
was inevitable that its commercial re
covery has been slow.
Poland Faces Peace.
Yet today finds Poland in a posi
tion of fair prosperity as compared
with that of the countries around it.
The number of commercial treaties
It has made recently with surround
ing nations Is a sign of the return
of peace and the dawn of prosperity.
Poland, said General Haller, is pri
marily an aerldhltural country. Under
the new agtarian reforms its rich soil
i« being cultivated again and Is pro
ducing abundantly. These agrarian
reforms, continued the general, have
long been a social necessity. Be
fore the war the land was not pos
sessed properly. Practically all of it
belonged to the owners of great es
tates, while the farmers themselves
owned none.
I nder the new system each farmer
is guaranteed at lcaat 20 acres for
his own. The soil now yields not
only enough for the people of the
country but enough to export to
surrounding nations.
Great forests, fhich yield a good
share of the timber used In central
Europe, together with oil wells. Iron
deposits, natural gas. copper, zinc and
tin, were mentioned by the general
as the natural resources which, he
believes, mark out for Poland a great
industrial future. Development of
these resources Is now being pressed.
Again Make Art Goods.
Making of art furniture, one of the'
great Polish Induatries nearly wiped
cut by the war. has been revived, de
clared the general. Art silver and
gold bronze statuary is now being
shipped from Poland In considerable
quantities.
General Haller was Introduced by
Dr. Ralph l.uikart aa the man who
organized the Polish army which
ornre back the bolshevik attack in
1S2I that at one time appeared to
threaten all central Europe
< harles Ray, who waa also a guest
of honor at the luncheon, gave sido
lights on the making of his new pic
ture “TV Courtship of Miles Stand
ish." upon w hioh he has just put
months of historical research. He
went Into the picture Intending to
make it a pretty little love story,
based on Uongfrllow's famous poetii,
ssld Air. Rat. But In pouring over
volumes of the early history of Ply
mouth colony, many of which were so
precious that they could not be taken
front the libraries where they are
found. Mr. Ray became so fascinated
by the Pilgrim fathers that h» de
rided to go into the picture on a very
much larger scale.
I . S. lli»tor.v Neglected
' We have too few plot urea on
American historical subjects. de
clared Mr. Ray. 'Our feature pic.
lures have all too often been based
upon European history to the neglect
of our native land
So far we have had two great
American historical pictures. The
tlrst was 'The Hlrth of a Nation?
dealing with reconstruction and the
old Kn Klux Klan. The second has

the pioneer days here isi the prattle
We think that the third Is going to
be 'The Courtship of Miles Standlsh,'
based on the adventures of the Pil
grims. Th*. picture will show such
things as the cutting down of the
tlrst tree to la* felled by an ax In this
country, the building of the tlrst
house, the tlrst washing and so forth.’*
Mr. Ray defined the ideal motion
picture ms one that would both enter
tain and enlighten the audience. "\v«
don’t always live up to our Ideal,'' he
said. ''Sometimes we just entertain,

Death as House Burns
Kearney, Neb., Oct. 39.—The pite
ous wailing of a cat tieing slowly
strangled by firnoke is all that saved
occupants of the Thomas Woodruff
home from possible suffocation dur
ing an early morning fire. The daugh
ter of Mr. Woodruff and two girl

into the open and give the alarm.
The cat was found at the head of the
basement stairs, suffocated. The fire

Co-Operative Marketing En
dorsed l naniinoutdy by Agri
cultural Body After Two- ,
Hour Debate.
Held Poor Idea for Grain
The agricultural commission of the
American Hankers' association, after
two hours of spirited debate, passed
by a unanimous vote yesterday after
noon at its meeting in Omana. a
resolution affirming its faith in
"orderly marketing of crops and in
the efficacy of the co-operative mar
keting Idea,” with the provision that
"organizations employing this idea
be conducted on sound economic
principles.’’
Opponents of co-operative market
ing. led by It. P. Sneath of Tiffin. O.,
member of the commission for the
fourth federal r«-serve district, cast
their votes fur the resolution with
the statement that it "neither en
dorsed nor condemned the practical
principle of cooperative marketing.”
after Mr Sneath’s plea that the com
mission go on record against the co
operative plan failed to find support.
The resolution, similar in text with
one on the same subject adopted at
the meeting of the cate Isuik division
of the American Bankers’ association
at the recent Atlantic City conven
tion, follows:
"We affirm our faith In the wisdom
"f orderly marketing of crop* and in
the efficacy of the co-operative mar
keting idea, provided that organiza
tions employing this idea are con
ducted on sound economic principles.
We believe that the ultimate success
of any such organization will be great
or small, depending on the sound
business Judgment of the men who
control it< affairs and upon the com
plete divorce of any element of si>e-u
latlor.”
Test Pisa rir»l.
Both side* in the eontroversj came
together upon the resolution after
an argument in which Mr. Sneath
urged condemnation of the coopera
tive principle, while P B. Doty of
Beaumont. Tex., member for the
eleventh district, led the force* in
favor of endorsement, and Frank J.
Wikoff of Oklahoma City, member for
ths .tenth district, urged that the.
body "neither endorse nor condemn
a principle not yet thoroughly tested,
and w hich tnay lesd to disaster. ’
Most of the supporters of co-op
erative marketing were from south
ern states and pictured its success
in the marketing of cotton, rice and
other southern crops. W. 1>. Dodson,
dean of the college of agrtc ulture of
the University of Louisiana at Baton
Rouge, declared that co-operative rice
marketing associations in Ills district
had succeeded and that th« market
ing of cotton, potatoes and strawber
ries might succeed under good busi
ness management. Sugar marketing,
h» said, waa a more difficult prob
lem.
Mr. Sneath answered that he was
"absolutely opposed” to co-operative
marketing, and declared that 38 per
cent m-thc business men of the Unit
ed States arc flnbtdl~mrn We can't
get along wlt*iout them.”
No (iond for (train.
"You cein't market grain on the
cu-opeantiva principle.'’ he declared.
"It tglira cx|m rlencetl men to handle
grarfn. From 50 to 1 #0 elevators In
my part of the country Have been
'run out' by farmer*' cooperatives
that have fulled or will fall becauag
tht-lr executives are not business
men.'1
Mr. Wlkoff who opposed any com
mitment of the commission on the
matter, said in answer to statements
by Dean lv>d»on and Mr, Doty. pi n Is
ing the results of cooperation, that
"small and res trie led groups may

Lack of Caretaker Prevents
\ isitors from Admission
to Morton Mansion.
Lincoln. Oct. 29.—The park board,
which is in direct control of the
.states newest acquisition. Arbor
Lodge, decided at a recent meeting
that a caretaker for the property
would not be appointed until March
1. Governor Bry^n said today. There
had t>een som- < ritloism over the
delay in the appointment.
■ The board i,.is authorized its
chairman and secretary 1’rof. Hubert
F Howard of the agricultural college,
to secure a caretaker who will be
i apable of giving the property the
attention it deserves,” he said. They
agreed that there would be no reed
of a caretaker until March 1. particu
larly since an agent of Joy Morton
is living near the lodge and is look
ing after the n-.essary detail*.”
The governor does not believe that
tin terms of the gift will permit the
fitting up of rooms in the mansion
for use by botanical students of the
state university, as residents of N"e
braska City suggest
' Jn niv opinion. ' he sail. it |* ]
contrary to both the letter and the
spirit of the gift .”
He has refused several requests
for permits to go through the man
sion. No one I* allowed to go through
at this time.
“There is no one at the mansion."
he continued. who can lx- respon
sible for visitors that might go
through, and whut is more imtior
tant, all of Mr. Morton's jxxisesslons
that he intends to take from the man
sion have not been removed, and It
is not right for visitors to go through
when some of his property ,< still
there."
No definite arrangements have yet
been made tor a caretaker, accord
ing to Prof. Howard.
“The property is being" well looked
after.” said Prof. Howard, “by a
representative of Mr. Morton who is
on the ground We have been look
ing for a caretaker and expect to
appoint one by January or Febru
ary 1."
