' Washington Is Curious By MARK SULLIVAN. Washington, Nov. 8.—There is no subject about which Washington is more curious than the opening ad dress that President Coolidge is go ing to deliver to congress at the be ginning of its session December 3. Everybody has known that this would be the first real revelation of Coolidge, both as to his politics and ■ to his personality since he be 4 came president. Nearly everybody has estimated that on this opening address, and on the reaction of con gress and the country to it will de pend mainly the question whether Coolidge will be nominated for an other term. In addition to these fundamental reasons for curiosity the attitude Coolidge has seemed to have toward this address has tended to give rise to a quality of dramatic suspense in the atmosphere of Washington and among the politicians. Everybody has observed that Coolidge has avoided making any public addresses whatever and has inferred that he is saving up whatever lie has to say for the congressional opening. Everybody has observed also that so far as unofficial and informal things have come out of the White House they have been confined merely to the run of the day's busi ness. it has been felt that it Is con spicuous that on important matters like taxation, the world court, the -milroad question and the like. Cool i ge has been intentionally silent and I s been reserving his utterances for the formal appearance before con pc ss. "Best Minds” Consulted. Today a Washington correspondent i the Boston Transcript, one of those w England papers which follow the p.- sident’s activities with especial cb - ness, sent his paper a dispatch v bicli, while it makes no predictions :.s to what Coolidge is going to say, i . ami s vividly the method he is H Mowing in making up ills mind as gafKSLvhat positions he should take. It r i veals the fact that while it was ) larding who invented the phrase ‘ best minds ' it. is Coolidge who is following that method in painstaking detail. What the Transcript dis patch saj.-i is borne out by the com mon observation of others. It says that President Coolidge for the last three months has been sending for men from all over the country to come to the White House, each man being chosen for bis capacity to give information and advice on a particular subject. The men summoned have been carefully and deliberately selected. The Tran script story says, for example, that President Coolidge asked Sec retary Hoover to prepare a list of the men best informed in the var ious parts of the country on differ ent aspects of business; that this list was forwarded to the White House, and that letters were address ed to the individuals recommended advising them that the president de sired to confer with them. Aside from business men the call ers summoned have inrluded gov ernment officials, members of con gress. members of state and nation al political committees, agricultural experts, railway executives, leaders of organized labor, newspaper edi tors, steamship owners and opera tors, bankers, members of the diplo matic corps, army and navy officers, state officials, officer* of patriotic societies and private organizations, leaders of civil service reform, offi ■mt v.m, of world war organizations and , experts on the tariff.

Sonder Claims Five Members of Tax payers’ League Were on Grand Jury Returning Indictments. By Associated Press. North Platte, Neb., Nov. S.—What amounted virtually to a review of all matters leading up to the investiga tion of the affairs of Lincoln county officials was recited by witnesses in the plea ofabatement trial now un der way before Judge John L. Tewell, incident to the trial of former County Treasurer Samuel M. Souder. Evidence brought out by defense attorney, Homer M. Sullivan, Broken Bow, Neb., showed that five members of the grand jury which returned "ap proximately 175- Indictments against various county officials, were mem bers of the Lincoln County Taxpay ers' league, which in a large part was responsible for the investigation re sulting in the employment of expert accountants to examine the books of all county officials. Will E. Shuman, president of the league, and who has been retained as special prosecutor In cases against defendants; County Attorney Will C. Jones and his depu ty, George Gibbs, declared they had no knowledge that any members <f the grand jury were members of the league. Sheriff L. L. Berthe, who drew prospective Jurors, testified that he had no knowledge of their associa tion with the league. The principal witness this afternoon was Mr. Shuman. For more than two hours he told of complaints made throughout the county a* to the man ner in which money had been ex pended fo ra new courthouse. He identified articles published in Lin coln county newspapers, which he had written, urging that an investi gation be made of the affairs of all county officials and removal from office and prosecution of law-breaking officials. If any. Most famous of the articles was entitled "Something Rot ten in Denmark.” Audit Requested. He told o fprecinct meetings held throughout the county at which dele gates were chosen to attend a conven tion In this city at which executives committee was named to call upon county commissioners and request tjiat the accountants he employed to audit books. Refusal of county commissioners to comply with the request, resulted in another taxpayers’ league convention at which a committee was given au thority to go ahead wdth plans calling for a special election at which an ap propriation was provided by direct tax levy to provide funds for the au dit. On April 23, the executive com mittee made recommendation to the county commissioners as to who should be employed as accountants. The recommendation of the commit tee was accepted, expert accountants made preliminary examination of the books Immediately, and were prepar ing to start detailed work April 29. The courthouse burned April 28, and with It many records. Mr. Shuman denied that lie had made any declaration as to the guilt of the defendants and declared that he had never made statements that Sam Souder had purchased oil, and that the American flag in the treasur er's office was found soaked with oil after the fire. Attorney Robert Beatty asked hlrn if he had not said Sou der struck a match which started the fire. Shuman denied making any auch charge. Want Bros relit or Ousted. As motion to oust Hhuinas as spe cial prosecutor, liecause of his bias and prejudice ngalnst the defendants, and the plea of abatement are being heard jointly. Mr. Hhumun was asked many questions regarding his rela tlons with Mr. Homier. Hhuman testified that Mr. Homier was one of his closest friends. He told of efforts made at league meet ings to exempt the office of county treasurer from the .Investigation. "Ham Souder was with me on my last prairie chicken hunt," he as serted. "Soudur Invited Mrs. film man and myself to visit Ids farm and Inspect Ills thoroughbred horses last summer. "Less than three weeks ago," Mr. Shuman declared, "Houder asked him to act as his attorney In a collection of a small sum of money due him. 1 told Mr. Houilcr that. In view of my position as prosecutor In criminal matters pending against him, It would not be advisable for me to ac cept," Shuman declared. On cross examination by Attorney W. V. Hoagland, Mr. Hhuniann ad mitted that Ills visit to Bonder's farm had been extended at Ills own sugges tion because of Mrs. Hhumann's Inter est In fine horses. He also admitted that during their visit to the farm Mrs. Houder drove away ami did mil ratuufr i Eckhardt Expected Big Profit Deposed Grain Official Says Growers’ Body Counted on $3,000 Daily in Commissions. Seeks $70,000 Damages Special Dispatch to The «>“■>*» Bee. Lincoln. Nov. 8.—The annual United States Grain Growers’ convention of 1922 was the “first great step that put the organization on the downward path,” W. G. Eckhardt. plaintiff In a $70,000 libel suit against J. C. Fil ley and the Nebraska Farm bureau declared here today when recalled to the witness stand. "For the three months immediately prior Jo the convention in March.” he said, ’’the United States Grain Grow ers was in a prosperous condition. Gross receipts had exceeded gross profits by $38,000 and the organiza tion had under contract 100,000,000 bushels of grain. So far as I know, it was the largest amount of grain ever held by a single organization and should have netted us a commission of $3,000 a day. Our indebtedness at the time was $110,000, or about one tenth of one cent a bushel.” David O. Thompson of Wheaton, 111., former secretary of the Illinois Agricultural association, resumed his testimony when the court convened today. He again stated that the ma jor part of Eckhardt’s inability to secure a position with farm organiza tlons had been due to the Filley ar ticle. Eckhardt's present status had been affected in a minor way, he said, by malicious attacks of "enemies of co-operative marketing.” but that the Filley article had been the real of fehder. _ Asked by defense counsel If he had ever read attacks on Eckhardt In the American Co-Operative Journal of Chicago, he declared that he had, but that he had discounted them as he was in possession of facts that sat lsfied him. at least, that they had been inspired by persons who were ’’not fighting the fight” for co-opera tive marketing. Cites Grain Program. Eckhardt was then recalled and read from the records a program of marketing that ne had outlined for the United States Grain Growers for the first year of business. In It he advised proceeding with caution until the foundation for a large program could be more firmly laid. He next submitted an affidavit, wit nesded by himself, by J. M. Mehl. sec retary to the president, and to Frank Meyers, secretary, in which Mark W. Picked, assistant to the editor of the Co-Operative Journel, stated lie knew that records had been taken by Nelson Certain, a former employe of Meyers. i After declaring that the Grain Growers had been a going concern prior to the convention, he stated that its present condition is ’extreme* ly bad." ' He next outlined the fight that he and others had made to gain control of the directorate of the organization, showing that a few days before the convention there were 13 of the 21 directors with him and that they had control. At this point Judge Munger ob jected that a great mass of evidence was being introduced that was out side the matter now before the court and warned counsi I that he might find it necessary in his instructions to the jury to state that much of it should he disregarded. Court Warns Attorneys. "We are n?t hero to relaunder the Soiled linen of the fight between fac tions in the United States Grain Growers," he said, "arid neither are wo here to attempt to vindicate either aide. The case before this court is a libel suit." Counsel for Eckhardt, resuming his cross-examination, again brought forth a statement that Eckhardt's troubles had been due primarily and solely to the Filley article. He denied that his defeat for the treaaurerahlp of the Grain Growers at the March convention might have had some thing to do with it. George C. Jewett of Spokane, Wash., general manager of the Amer ican Wheat Growers' association, was called to the stand and declared that following the publication of the Fil ley article the former trust and con fidence of the farmers of Illinois that Eckhardt had enjoyed was replaced by suspicion. He denied that Kck hardt's failure of re-election to the office of treasurer of the Grain Grow ers had anything to do with his pres ent status. C. V. Gregory, editor of the Prairie Farmer, Chicago, reiterated the state ment of Jewett regarding Eckhardt’s standing before and after the publi cation of the article. Ho declared that attacks on Eckhardt and others of his associates by the American Co Operative Journal had no Influence on the farmers of Illinois, ms they distrusted the Journal. The Filley article, he sold, since It was pub lished In a farm bureau organ, was treated In a different fashion. High Nalarlea .Mentioned. Counsel for the pin Intiff then read Into the nilnut'-H of the court a let ter written by the president of the Chicago Hoard of Trade to the Kan naa (* It y Hoard of Trade uiglng him to advise hi* member* to advertise hi the Co-Operative Manager, an a! lied publication of the Journal. be ranee It had proved Itself to be both ''friendly and helpful.” The letter was wi Itten In 11* I 7. tit egevy, continuing, im4 tha,t htr, i as editor of the Prairie Farmer, had made statements based on what he knew from reading records of the United States Grain Growers, In which he said that high salaries com plained of by opponents of the Grain Growers could only have been fixed by those In control of the organiza tion, which was the group of which C. H. Gustafson was p. member. Former Governor Lowden, who had been expected to testify today, did not appear, and attorneys for the plaintiff said they were not certain that he would come. Eekhardt was again recalled to the stand and for the second time stated that the Filley article was alone re sponsible for the decline in his for tunes. SI,300 Hotel Bills. Counsel for the defendants then asked if numerous and large bills had not come In for payment after the convention, which would greatly increase the Indebtedness figure given by Eekhardt in previous testimony. The witnpss declared that he could not recall, although he did admit that at some time he had submitted for payment a bill totaling some $1,300 for hotels and meals. He ex plained that he had never given up his home in He Kalb and that it had seemed only right that he should be .reimbursed for what he stated to be unusual expenses. Counsel then requested an explana tion of a proviso passed by the board of directors which Instructed the then treasurer, Eekhardt, to set aside 50 per cent of membership fees from counties that had loaned money to the organization as a reserve fund. Eekhardt stated that such instruc tions had been given him by the directors. Counsel then declared that about $229,000 had been bor rowed and that the reserve fund, at the time of the convention, amounted to about $37,000, the whole of which was in notes given by farmers for membership fees in the organization. It was further shown that a sum in excess of $400,000 had been paid into the treasury of the organization in membership fees. When the court adjourned Eck hardt was still on the stand. 1923 Com Crop Among Largest Ever Produced Yield Will Be Oxer $3,000. 000.000 Bushels and Value $2,500.000,000—Quality Falls Off.

Mr. Henderson was given the nick name, Rookervllle Kid. after he found he was unable to getw ater on his claim and had opened a saloon. He sold the claim for $300. Henderson gulch was named after him. As the country became settled, the saloon and mining business played out. and Mr. Henderson final ly located a ranch over In the Sun dHiice country. Despite his somewhat advanced age of 65 years, Mr. Henderson is still very active, and runs his ranch with great efficiency. "We had all kinds of grass this year." said the veteran cattleman, "but I never saw the flies so bad. Kverybody has plenty of feed for the winter, and although we have not had any very bad weather yet. we find It wise to hepropared always. Our cattle are not turned out on the tango to get a living anymore, and as a result we do not have the heavy winter losses that we used to have.

Munich, Nov. 8.—Dictator Hitlel* following the formation of the direc torate and the ousting of the Baver ian government tonight, ordered the long anticipated “march on Berlin" to begin. General Ludendorff has been made the "head" of the national army, and the Berlin government has been declared deposed by the new Bavarian authorities.

S.—Persistent reports, which are so far unconflrmable, to night declare that France is ready to march on Frankfort and England prepared to occupy Bremen and Ham burg at the first sign of a nationalist dictatorship being Instituted in Ger many. In high diplomatic circles it is feared that such denunciation would mean the return of the kaiser or rown prince, and a denunciation of the treaty of Versailles.

Premier Poincare this afternoon telegraphed an ultimatum to the Ber lin government declaring that France would view in the gravest light the estalishment of a nationalist dista torship in Germany. This threat follows that of t’-e council of ambassadors, whose de mand that inter-allied military con trol be resumed in Germany was re fused today by the Berlin govern ment on the ground that Germany would not lie aide to guarantee the safety of the allied officers who would be risking death at the hands of enraged mobs. “A German nationalist dictator ship would mean one of two things, either German revolution or a Euro jvean war'* said the semi-official | Temps today.
