Offer Is Declined by Monarch Js Told All Parties in State Could Be United Un der His Leader ship. Call Dictator Traitor By Universal Service. . rvf Munich, Nov. 10.—King Rupprecht was approached today with a view of Inducing him to consent to a procla mation making him king in fact as well as in name. He was told, that the chaos in Munich and Bavaria had come to such a point through the failure of the Hltler-Ludendorff putsch that only he could straighten matters out and bring order, as all parties would unite under him and forget their animosities. It is learned that Rupprecht categ Orically rejected the invitation. A storm of indignation has burst against Dictator Von Kahr, Central Von Lossow and Colonel Stisser for the role they played iif the putsch. This was the surprising reaction in Munich today. Their explanations 1 that they were compelled to partici pate by threats are not given credence while the popular feeling runs high at what is baldly characterized as their “betrayal” of their associates, Hitler and Ludendorff. Hint!) in Munich. Dictator Von Kahr Is openly called a traitor. There were continual demonstrations on the streets this afternoon against the trloi In Odeon square there was shooting between the police and the crowds and 2.000 students paraded the streets shouting "down with traitor Kahr; long live Hitler.” Von Kahr withdrew from the gov ernment buildings to barracks from which he Is now governing while sur rounded by troops. The feeling against the reichswehr is such that every where they are greeted with desislon. With the reichswehr and police solid ly behind him Von Hahr Is considered master of the situation and while it is believed he will remain so. the gen eral opinion is- that all the other parties to the putsch, Including Gen eral Von Lomov, Colonel Stlsser and General LundedoriT have made them selves entirely Impossible. Hitler Plans Attack. Hitler has withdrawn with a group of his followers estimated at between 1,000 and 2,000 to the vicinity of I,ake Tegernesse In the mountains three hours south of Munich. There ift an unconfirmed report tonight^ that ho is preparing to attack Munich. A small detachment raided a print ing establishment where money was being printed. in Coburg 3,000 men, part of one of the groups of private armies without money or food threaten to take that city. General, Ludendorff tonight again is at his villa on the heights, eating his heart out in bitterness over the deser tion of Von Kuhr, nervous and almost broken down at the realization of the ridiculous part he played. Reports sent out of his attempt at suicide are entirely without founda tion. Ho is at home, instead of in prison, and is there upon his word of honor, give to his captors, that lie will remain there. His situation is in no wise relieved by the fact that he was paroled In stead of Jailed because of being "mis led" by Hiller. The story that Luden dorlT tried to find death arose front the fact that Friday when he and Hitler marched at th'o head of Hitler's storm troops to break through the cordon of relchswehr drawn around the war ministry building wheio a detachment of Hitlerites were barrl caded they were fired on by the troops. According to an authentic story of the occurrence, Ludendorff and Hitler wiLh their men failed (o halt when called upon to do so by the- relch swehr, whereupon the reichswehr flred. * West Point Teacher and Utica Merchant Wed West Point.

Four Page* of Interesting Pictures States join Fight for Freight Cut Nebraska Railway Commis sioner to Appear Before In terstate Commerce Offi cial at Kansas City. Boon to Grain, Growers By R. H. PETERS, Stuff frvrnpondeDt of The Omnha Bee. Lincoln, Nov. 10,-Mjraln shippers, and that includes a large percentage of the population of Nebraska, will turn their eyes the coming week to Kansas City, where railway commis sioners of the grain belt states will present to Interstate Commerce Com missioner Aitchlson all available In formation favoring a reduction in grain transportation charges. For Nebraska, Thorne Browne will appear, armed with documents that will be used In the fight, and a fight it will he, for a 10 per cent scaling down of rates, both west of Chicago and export. A belief has bee» held by some per sons that the railroads would grant the reduction asked, purely as ft matter of policy and because their chiefs approved it. They have been far from the truth, for the reduction will come only if ordered by the inter state commerce commission. Even President Coolidge got ‘‘no" for an answer when he suggested that a lower rate might be advisable. Nebraska shippers are primarily Interested In rates to Chicago, but export rates are bound to play a large part in the evidence produced showing why they should he cut. Ex port shippers point out that not“on!y Is the American grain grower fight ing the handicap of a higher produc tion cost than Canada, and this ap plies of course to wheat, but the Canadian Pacific, with the aid of the government, has allowed a favorable rate to the seaboard, that increases the difficulty of the American grain grower seeking to sell a portion of his crop abroad. Opponents of the rate reduction declare that should export rates in the United States be brought, more In line with the Canadian tariff, Can ada will reply with another reduc tion. That remain* to be seen. It is difficult to estimate what a 10 per cent rate reduction will mean to the Nebraska farmer, but with the tremendous com crop now coming into the market it will be a sizeable sum and one that ran well be used In farming districts that have known lean years since 1020.

West Point, Nel»., Nov. 10 -—Miss Lisle Koch, kindergarten tearher here, j has resigned her* position, to take effect at Christmas time Mother Spurned by Bride for Mate Sues for Annulment of Marriage c It was for the girl to choose be tween her mother and a, suitor of long standing, and the man she had married. She chose the man ahe had mar ried, despite the pleas of the forlorn aultdr and the tearful mother. But late yesterday, finding tears to no avail, the mother resorted to the courts, filing a petition asking that the marriage of her daughter be an nulled. The daughter is Mrs. Rose Keesey, 16, bride of Eugene Keesey, 24. The rejected suitor, who claims he was engaged to Rose and had prepared a home for her In South Omaha, Is Harold Hughes, 26. . The mother, Mrs. Mary Bukowski, asks that her daughter's marriage he annulled on the alleged grounds that Keesey tricked Rose Into the marriage and misstated her age when be obtained a license to wed In Coun cil Bluffs. As the mother points out, Rose is a minor and the hiarriage, both by Nebraska and Iowa luw, is not valid without the consent of her parents, which is emphatically not forthcom ing. The mother also asks the court for an order preventing the husband from calling on or communicating with Rose while the case Is pending. Rose was released this morning from the detention home, where she had been sent upon her mother’s ap peal to the Judge and from which she ran away Monday night. The crisis came In District Judge Day's juvenile court Saturday morn ing. The Judge permitted Rose to choose between her husband and mother. Her choice was made for the husband, with little hesitation. The young bride left the courtroom with her mother and Hughes, but In the corridor she ran to the arms of Keescy, her husband. Before leaving, however, she slipped a note Into her suitor's pock et, but he would not reveal Its con tents. "That man shall not have my daughter,” wept the mother. And a little later she started the legal fight to keep the girl from the young husband.

The filing of complaints is much simpler and Is freer from pos sibilities of errors. There scarcely ever is any excuse for calling of a grand Jury. The question involved in the case, however, is not of the demerits or merits of the grand jury system, hut Is based upon whether the grand jury which indicted the de fendants was properly called. There were no mishaps or wrong proced ure in the calling of this grand jury." Defend Tax Pn.vers ls'agne Judge Tewell said he was inclined to believe that all of the charges against Souder could have been con tained in one indictment instead of being spread over 121 counts, as is the case with the embezzlement charges. This, he said, was also in line with arguments of attorneys for defense, who alleged that 149 indict mewls were returned against Souder , for "the a*do purp ose of poisoning the minds of the people of the county against hint " The judge said that the fact that four or fixe tnemliers of the Taxpay ers league, which was largely respon sible for Investigation of the affairs tf the county offices, which resulted In the indictments, did not necessar ily disqualify them. it is mv under standing." he said, "that the league was organized be .. cool headed group of citizens, not by a group of reds."

It i p. m -It Ex-Crown Prince Is. in Germany Makps Dash From Exile for Silesia Where He Will Be “Country Gentleman.” Powers Helpless to Act Uy International »w* Smlrr. London, Nov. 10—Tonight for the first time in five years the former German crown prince, Erelderick Wilhelm, was back upon Germat soil. He was speeding toward ■Silesia to settle upon his estates at Oeis as a country gentleman. His dramatic dash from exile upos Wieringen island for the Germat frontier at dawn caused a sensation in Europe. Allied circles are frankly apprehen sive that Wilhelm'3 return is likely to be marked by a recrudescence ol monarchist activity. It Is learned from German sources that the Berlir. government exacted a promise from him that he will never leave his Silesian estates nor meddle In Ger man politics. Official opinion in London is that the allies are powerless to act beyond lodging a protest. W.lhelm spread the news that he was going to Doom to visit his father, the former kaiser, thus throwing reporters off the scent. When it was learned that this story was a hoax investigation at The Hague revealed that both Holland and Germany had granted Wilhelm per mission to cross the frontier. The dash from Wieringen was made in two motor cars, one contain ing Welhelm. his personal aid and the mayor of Wieringen; the Other con taining baggage. The former crown prince chose the exact day to return home that the allied council of ambassadors in ] Paris sent to notes bearing upon his I plans. One to the Dutch government : e-yjested. It to refuse Wilhelm per in.ssion to leave the country; the other to Berlin protested against Wilhelm's return. Wilhelm had the necessary pass ports from the Dutch and German governments and the frontier guard did not attempt to stop him. Fire Destroys Printing Plant Fremont. Nth . Nov.
